Round Four of the Spider Scuffle!

>??? VS Northern Spider B (front): Critical Hit (2x2=4+1=5 damage)

>Hoang VS Northern Spider B (front): Hit (3+1=4 damage)

>Darksten VS Spider Thread B (back): Shield: Triple Shot (3+1=4 damage to all enemies)

The party cooperates with remarkable accuracy, delivering a flurry of attacks at the remaining vermin. He spins and flails around like a pinata getting smacked around, hissing in disgust with every blow to his bloated body. Finally, Darksten finishes off the spider with a triple Shot, one of his three heroes piercing through its abdomen. It curls up and bleeds out, its corpse hanging on the end of a thin thread.

QM Note: Seeing as the final two enemies can in no way hurt you, I'll be ending this here.

The party is victorious! They can already feel themselves getting stronger, having completed their first battle while under the contract of Heroica... They all gain 1 Level, the stranger included.

Please Distribute the Loot:

"I suppose its time for an introduction, isn't it?"

Darksten looks at the pile of loot hastily placed in front of him by Hoang Anh.

After silently contemplating it, he picks up the vile of potion with 5 pieces of gold and walks over to the stranger.

"You fought well, and now that it is behind us, I agree that it is time for introductions. My name's Darksten, and what is yours?" He asks as he hands over the potion and gold

OOC: I will keep 15 gold and give the grand potion and 5 gold to the stranger

"Well... my name is Crowley. I work for a offshoot of the Town Watch called the The Syndicate... I'm the newest member, so I suppose that I got a bit too eager jumping into the fray here. That, and I've been unable to get sleep for the past few days...

Which way are we going? There is anotehr door in here, if you want to forge on in that direction."

Posted

Nice to meet you, Crowley! Now let's check that door! Aftet we have check all the doors in the shelter, we can go to The Syndycate to gather more information.

Posted

auJYrxZ.png

"No need to talk to the Syndicate, I've already read all of our files on this stuff... And you people probably know more than I do. All The Syndicate knows is that a storm is coming and a shelter is infested. I learned the size of the invaders the hard way, but you saw that."

Posted

"It's nice to meet you. You work for the Syndicate huh? Don't think I have heard of them before... but then again I am fairly new to the city" Darksten says to the cleric

"Did you come here on official orders, or were you looking to help the locals on your own accord? After all, before moving on, it would probably be good to quickly hear about your hunt prior to us finding you. How long have you been here, and how much of this shelter did you explore before being ambushed?"

OOC: Crowley should have the grand potion and not I. Also, are we to assume that the rug and couch in the room were searched fully for the small bug infestations prior to us finding the matches?

Posted

"We're fairly new as well in this city. I kind of... rushed here without recieving the official OK from the boss. I tried to avoid the Hovel residents, since I have a certain disdain for them. After that, I entered into the Foyer, turned left into the room with a staircase, burnt a spider web, and got ambushe din here."

Why were you unable to sleep?

auJYrxZ.png

"The boss of the Syndicate... He's not a bad man. But he's recovering from mental illness, not to mention he's a complete workaholic. I heard he used to go 72 hours without leeping. Because of this, the shifts he administers are long, to the point of overworking us. He's a kind man, I just don't think he gets that people sometimes need to sleep, once and a while."

Posted (edited)

"You turned left or right at the foyer? We turned right, so if you went left we covered different ground. But it sounds like you went right as well." Darksten said with a bit of confusion and skepticism

"Either way, how long were you stuck here?"

ooc: confirm there are two doors in this room please. The one we came in and another...

"Gnnrgh. My mistake. I went right. I actually tried going to the left in that room, but the door was locked."

There is indeed another unexplored door in this room.

Posted

"Alrighty then, well I would prefer to clear out the first floor and secure the kitchen, but since we are already up here, let's continue through that unused door. That way we can flush all the insects downstairs and outside, without worrying too much about them doubling back on us. But first..."

Darksten said as he strolled over to the fireplace and nudged the lone log with his boot in an effort to see if anything was under or behind it. He then made sure his companions were watching his back, and hit the side of the chimney roughly with the side of his fist before pausing to see if anything else moved inside, or fell out of, the tall pipe.

Posted (edited)

With the log overturned and the chimney given a hard smack, Darksten concludes that nothing else was in that particular area. knowing more insectoid menaces could be lurking around any corner, the heroes head through the unexplored door...

And find the barracks.

"Dismal conditions. Dismal, dismal, dismal..."

And he was right. The beds were just wooden planks with ragged pillows, barrels standing as bedstands. Boxes are piled up in the corner, containing who-knows-what. The party hears a faint pitter-patter, a puddle forming on the floor: there was a leak in the ceiling, it seems.

What will the party do?

Edited by Endgame
Posted

Darksten looks up and checks the ceiling for the source of the leak, and to make sure there were no hidden enemies waiting to pounce.

(If no enemies on the ceiling)

"Hoang Anh, again your armor is best used protecting you from sudden attack. I suggest you inspect the crates by the door" Darksten says to the now quiet knight

"Crowley, if you don't mind, could you make sure our wounds are healed and then search all of the barrels by the beds and let us know if there is anything useful in that bottle and cup?"

Darksten then goes over and checks all the ragged pillows for bugs or stashed items, and also nudges the odd brick by the second bed from the left in the first row

"Two heals, coming up."

At Darksten's command, haong Anh goes to pilfer through the crates. Among spoiled foodstuffs, the knight finds:

heroica-venom.jpgVenom x2

Crowley goes to check out all of the barrels and bottles. The bottles prove fairly useless... The glass one could perhaps be broken for glass shards, but other then that, there was nothing useful about the bottles. He rifles through the barrels, finding some... waste. reviled, he checks the last barrel, and a small swarm of bugs scurry out.

auJYrxZ.png

"Gah! Permission to stomp?!"

The pillows yeild nothing, but it turns out the odd "brick" on the floor was actually quite a large mass of insects.

4/13 Small Bug Hordes found!

Posted

"Go ahead and stomp Crowley, then do me a favor and pass me that empty glass bottle if you don't mind"

Darksten then turns to the mass of insects at his feet

"Do you want to be stomped out as well, or do you have something of value to share?"

Posted (edited)

Hoang Anh takes the Venom and pass the other bottle of Venom to Darksten

Darksten! Ask them where is there secret hideout and the kitchen!

I will check under the beds to see if there are any bugs hiding and also the barrels next to the beds.

Darksten accepts the vile of venom, and as Hoang Anh adds his large shadow to the darkness covering the second pile of bugs, Darksten turns to them...

"I am waiting, do you have any information to share? Where are your larger counterparts coming from? Where is the kitchen full of food?"

"Thank you." The masked man mutters, stamping out the bugs with his feet and torching them with his staff.

"Ah, and here is that glass bottle."

With that, darksten recieves the empty bottle. As he catches the item, his attempts at diplomacy with the squirming insects fares no better.

<We'll never obey you! Honor among bugs! Honor among bugs! Our northern brethern will stomp you flat as vengeance!>

Darksten chooses to take the bugs' idea, stomping them out.

4/13 bug hordes dead!

Where will the party go next?

Posted

The party trudges on, finding themselves...

x3bwE9N.png

A dining area?

Two tables stand in the corridor, littered with rotting food. A staircase leads down...

auJYrxZ.png

"Where there's food, there must be a kitchen nearby."

Posted (edited)

Darksten takes in his meager surroundings, and waits for his companions to speak. When they do not, he speaks up

"Perhaps Hoang Anh should search the barrels in the corner, then I recommend he take a look at those swords/knives since he would know sharp tools best. I will look at that pile of bugs on the table (I assume that is what the dark brick is). Crowley, you should go to the top of the stairs and let us know what you see down there. Then keep watch please."
