Heroica RPG - Quest #110: Color Me Gone

[CMP]

Then by all means, let the fates decide, and let us bath in the blood of the denied.

"The fates can nazar dizarko. We're the ones standing here. It's our call. I say Calder dies."

[Asphalt]

Such language, when this is done we must share a drink and perhaps we can teach each other our father's tongues. This human language fall flat upon the ears.

Do not think I wish this enchanter, this defiler of the dead to live. He needs to give but one reason. However, he had opportunity to attack us directly in his cavern, he chose to parle. I must see it through.

QM Note: I'm in a car heading home for the weekend for the next five hours. Update will come in around seven hours. Quest is almost done, and you guys should be back in the Hall in a few days.

OoC: I am leaving for the same cabin without wi-fi in just about an hour, so CMP may control Bobby if anything needs to be said.

[Flare]

OoC: Everything alright, King?

[KotZ]

QM Note: Yes sorry for the delay. I got in very late last night and had to go to a vigil for a friend. Update will be in a few hours. So sorry for the delay guys.

[Asphalt]

OOC: no problem man, you can make up for it with epic job specific drops. and by job specific I mean our jobs.

[KotZ]

Again, very sorry for the delay, this weekend has turned into an absolute nightmare regarding technology for me, but here is the long awaited update.

"NO!" Calder Den and William Morris shout in unison.

"We are not turning my island into a shared venture between the two of us," Calder continued. "This was my land, and it shall stay my land. You said that you would help me, but you lied."

Calder Den, II lets out an inhuman roar. His gem and staff begin to glow, the brightest and most colorful things on the island now. Light streams out from the gem and then, brightness followed by darkness. The world pulses just as the captain's skin did, and when finally the heroes could see, they saw some of the townspeople had been... mutated. They had changed. Their eyes were dead and lifeless. The brightness and happiness was gone. Now they only held death now.

"Lacy, Luke, get back!" William shouts. He grabs the two and pulls them to safety as his former townspeople close in.

"I gave you a choice."Calder said to the heroes. "You could have had peace with me, and glory, and riches. Oh so many riches. But you chose the weaker option."

"Great work. Now look at the damn townspeople..."

Miderun charged Bessie from the front row.

[Asphalt]

You show your true colors demon.

Vindsval Grips his hammer, his huge knuckles popping. And steps up to the second shade.

Time for your release shade.

Attack a Shade of Gray II

From Front Row

[Asphalt]

As he charges the shade Vindsval yells over his shoulder.

William, get the boy out of here.

Luke do you still have the totem I gave you? Hold it close, it will protect you from the Necromancers spells.

[KotZ]

Round 1

>Benji (Meduaik) vs Mis-colored Village Jester (back): Hit (65x2=130; 130-20=110; Benji gains 110 gold)

>Vindsval (hammer) vs Shade of Gray II (front): Shield – Miracle (Restores health to party; Already at full health; nothing happens)

>Miderun (Club) vs Bessie (front): Miss (Nothing happens)

>Bobby (Dagger) vs Calder Den, II (front): Hit (9 damage; 90-9=81 HP)

>Shade of Gray I vs Benji (Free hit): Nothing happens (12-7=5)

>Town Guard vs Vindsval (free hit): Nothing happens (3-3=0)

Benji opens with an immediate kill on the village jester. The poor fool explodes in a bright display of color, all that was left in him. Benji scoops up his gold. Vindsval attempts to heal his fellow party members, but all of them are at full strength. Miderun misses the large ox as Bobby hits the sorcerer with a “dope” hit. The Shade of Gray and Town Guard miss their targets completely.

Round 2

>Benji (Meduaik) vs Town Guard (back): Extra Critical Hit (60+45=105x2=210; 210-25=185 gold; Benji gains 185 gold)

>Vindsval (hammer) vs Shade of Gray II (front): Damage (7-3=4 Damage; 12-4=8 HP)

>Miderun (Club) vs Bessie (front): Damage (20-11=9 HP)

>Bobby (Dagger) vs Calder Den, II (front): Critical Hit (11 Damage; 81-11=70HP)

>Shade of Gray I vs Benji (Free hit): Nothing happens (12-7=5)

The party continues the battle. Benji eliminates the Town Guard with ease an earns more gold. Vindsval tries to hit the shade of gray but this time he is hit and takes damage. Miderun attacks the ox once again but is also injured in her attack. Bobby makes a critical hit on Calder Den. Benji avoids the first Shade of Gray.
