Heroica RPG Quest #112: The Lion, the Wretch, and the Warlord

[The Legonater]

I move to B3.

Can we take a torch off the wall? They could be useful.

[Palathadric]

"In fact, it might even be for sale if the price is right, and it could come in handy if you ever decide to take up the necromantic arts."

"May I ask what price you'd want for it? I have no interest in the necromantic arts, but a backup weapon would be handy."

[Brickdoctor]

"Blackmarketeer, what is that ropey thing hanging down in front of the window? Can those torches be of use to us?"

Can we take a torch off the wall? They could be useful.

You realize that Sir Isaac cannot hear you, and there is no one in the tunnel with you who could answer your questions. You realize that you'll have to actively try to investigate rather than asking questions if you want to find out what something does.

I move to D3.

I move to B3.

QM Note:

I messed up the lettering in the first two pictures; it's reversed in this next one. Numbering is the same.

Moving forward, your vision adjusts completely and you see a group of Pongcanae around a stack of boxes, drinking something. Upon seeing you, they jump up, pulling out their knives.

"Muaahh?! Intruders! Go for help!"

One of the Pogs starts to run off down the corridor, as another one wielding a spear joins the fight.

Party Leader, please provide an Order of Actions.

Everyone, please state any actions and their targets that you plan to perform. Remember that you may move up to three squares in a turn, attacking or using an item once during those moves.

Any enemy left untargeted will receive a Free Action.

[The Legonater]

I decapitated Vonnetate, the Pongcanis Chieftan. Do not think I will hesitate to do the same to you, scum!

I fire the Mockthril Longbow at the Blue Pongcanis.

[CMP]

Is the Pheles Kris area-of-effect, centered on me? And do enemy attacks do anything against our ranged attacks?

Legonater, you also need to pick a row.

Atramor pushed Dyric's bow down as soon as it was drawn.

"Leave him, mate. Namyrra can take care of those three. Swing the corner and see if you can take out the spearman. He's got too much health and defense for my likin'. Pretzel, hit the yellow brute so he can't run off. We need to make sure they won't be able to get reinforcements."

The regulator charged into C3, then C4, then D5. He hadn't forgotten the last time he let a pongcanis get away. It wouldn't be happening again.

Edited September 15, 2014 by CallMePie

[The Legonater]

Right. I roll into B3, and fire my Mockthril Longbow at the Spearman from the back row.

I sure hope one of those cursed mechanics don't show up. Then it'll be a real reunion.

CMP, I believe you can still attack.

Edited September 15, 2014 by The Legonater

[Brickdoctor]

QM Note:

Yes, the Aura is centered on you, Pie.

No, if you attack a melee unit with a ranged attack and you're not standing next to the enemy, he can't do anything to Damage you unless his Special is ranged.

Legonater is correct; you can attack after your third move.

You also need an Order; note that Dyric is standing in C3, so he'll have to move before you if you want to move C3->C4->D5.

[CMP]

Oh. You said a unit had to be adjacent to attack, I didn't know that included diagonals.

"A hell of a lot more would have to go wrong before it'd be a reunion," chuckles Atramor, swinging at Pongcanis Spearman from the front row.

Arc-spell with Darkness focused on Pongcanis Brute (Blue) from the back row.

Ether costs for arc-spells will be equal to number of targets able to be affected by it, right? Not total number of enemies?

[Brickdoctor]

Ether costs for arc-spells will be equal to number of targets able to be affected by it, right? Not total number of enemies?

QM Note:

Yes.

[Palathadric]

Will the Pongconae also move 3 squares on their free hits?

I rush to C6 and take a shot at the Yellow Pongcanis from the Back Row with the Flying Cross.

[Brickdoctor]

Will the Pongconae also move 3 squares on their free hits?

QM Note:

They can if they choose to, yes.

Results of Round One of the Battle of the Silent Fog:

Dyric Rone moves to B3.

>Dyric Rone vs. Pongcanis Brute (Blue) — Special Damage Shield: Grim Reaper (Pongcanis Brute (Blue): Assassination; Pongcanis Brute (Yellow): No assassination; Pongcanis Brute (Green): No assassination; Pongcanis Brute (Red): Assassination; no targets carry Gold.)

Atramor Gibbin moves to C3.

Atramor Gibbin moves to C4.

Atramor Gibbin moves to D5.

Atramor Gibbin vs. Pongcanis Spearman — Optimisim, Aura (Atramor is safe from Free Hits for the remainder of the Round.)

>Namyrra Uq vs. Pongcanis Brute (Blue) Pongcanis Brute (Yellow) — Damage (No effect; Namyrra is out of range.)

Monk Pretzel moves to A4.

Monk Pretzel moves to B5.

Monk Pretzel moves to C6.

>Monk Pretzel vs. Pongcanis Brute (Yellow) — Hit ((6+30)*2-0=72 Darkness-elemental Damage)

Pongcanis Brute (Green) moves to B9.

Pongcanis Brute (Green) — Free Hit: Bombard against Dyric Rone. (Dyric Rone: drawn to Atramor Gibbin: no effect; Atramor is Optimistic and immune to Fire; Namyrra Uq: drawn to Atramor Gibbin: no effect; Atramor is Optimistic and immune to Fire.)

Dyric, you step to allow Atramor to pass, and then unload arrows against a brute and the three enemies nearest him, two of your arrows hitting true. Atramor, you move over to the corner, take a quick look around it to assess your target, and then decide it best to shelter yourself from any potential Free Hits while generating an Aura. Namyrra, you change targets as Dyric takes out two of the Pogs, but you can't get a spell off. Monk Pretzel, with three quick steps and a hop, you dash forwards, hop onto your cross, and charge a brute, striking him before quickly flying out of his reach.

With your focus being elsewhere, the one brute left untargeted takes one quick step and lobs a flaming bottle towards you, Dyric. Atramor, you draw the blast away from Dyric and Namyrra, your Optimism and your armor protecting you from any Damage.

The Pheles Kris is a passive effect as long as it's wielded, so I should have a 50/50 chance of drawing that Fire Bomb.

"Pretzel, move in and take out the yellow one," remarked Atramor, swinging at Spearman from the front row again.

QM Note:

Ah, forgot about that. Fixed; you got the Aura.

[The Legonater]

I fire at the Spearman from the back with the Mockthrill Longbow.

What, is that all they've got? For all their rambling, the great Pongcanis culture isn't half as great as they seem to think it is.

[Palathadric]

I strike the Yellow Brute with my Flying Cross Again (Back Row).

Namyrra moves to B6, and sends an arc-spell with Darkness at Pongcanis Spearman

[Brickdoctor]

Results of Round Two of the Battle of the Silent Fog:

>Dyric Rone vs. Pongcanis Spearman — Critical Lethal Hit Lethal Aim (Assassination.)

Atramor Gibbin vs. Pongcanis Spearman does nothing. Aura

Namyrra Uq moves to C4.

Namyrra Uq moves to B5.

Namyrra Uq moves to B6.

>Namyrra Uq vs. Pongcanis Spearman Pongcanis Brute (Green) — Meditate (No effect; Namyrra is already at full Ether.)

>Monk Pretzel vs. Pongcanis Brute (Yellow) — Shield: Toolkit: Far Out! (Pretzel takes no Damage from any attack until he lands a hit on an enemy again.)

Atramor and Namyrra, you find yourself without a target and needing to switch targets, respectively, as Dyric eliminates another Pog with a well-placed arrow. Monk Pretzel, you fly away from the battle temporarily, using your Telescope to keep an eye on the action, then swooping back around to the spot you started from, all while inside a tunnel, which confuses your opponents greatly.
