Heroica RPG- Quest #122: Invasion of the Sheep Snatchers

[Lind Whisperer]

If he can, the Black Knight surreptitiously douses his hands with an agent(Venom), and

OoC: If he can't, then ignore.

EDIT: Never mind, battle order has already started - unless Lind can still apply it without spending a battle turn?

Battle's already begun, and no, you can't douse your hands in poison. Says right here you need a weapon to use poison.

Venom (Use on a weapon to make it cause the poisoned by 1-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle, making the poisoned enemy lose 1 health each turn. Several venoms can be used to increase the effect.)

[StickFig]

Nice try with the munchkining though hahahaha Really, though, who's going to use consumables in a fight you don't even need to win? It's not like there is loot, and everyone gets experience....

You will gain experience if you participate.

Matthias decides to get things going so he grabs the hem of Waldorf's unbuttoned jacket and swings himself up, aiming to deliver a flying kick to the man's belly. "Who in their right mind shaves the beard off their own chin?" he shouts to psych himself up.

[Purpearljellyblob]

Purpearl swiftly directs her clenched fist into a specific central bodily area just below Statler's ribs and slightly above his pot belly.

[Siercon and Coral]

Yeah I'm going to avoid KOing any friends cause we all want to gain exp... But if u hit me... Lol...

"mwahaha! A friendly brawl!" Siercon says jovially

Siercon strikes hard against the bitter old cog. It's at times like these his inate darkness strikes hit best.

"Darkened Wallop!!!"

[Kintobor]

QM Note: I'll still need a battle order from the Statler crew. Also, if the Waldorf team wants to put in a battle order and actions, I'll run their round afterwards to keep this thing at a fast pace.

[Lind Whisperer]

"On a bar diagram of useful ways to waste our time, this would be marked in the bottom left corner," muttered the Black Knight as he clipped Statler smartly on his ear.

Proposed Battle Order:

Purpearl vs. Statler

Lind vs. Statler

[StickFig]

Yeah I'm going to avoid KOing any friends cause we all want to gain exp...

Correct me if I'm wrong, Kint, but I understand from your earlier post that we all get exp regardless?

[Kintobor]

(That's not really PvP, but...)

Correct me if I'm wrong, Kint, but I understand from your earlier post that we all get exp regardless?

Yuppers.

And suddenly this became incredibly one sided.

Battle Order For Statler Team

Matthias vs. Waldorf- Damage (15 damage)

Siercon vs. Waldorf- Special Damage (Statler takes 40 damage, Matthais and Siercon weakened!)

Waldorf vs. Statler: 15 damage

Battle Order For Waldorf Team:

Purpearl vs. Statler- Shield (2+6=8 times. 18x3=34 damage to Statler and Siercon. 18x2=26 damage to Matthais)

Lind vs. Statler- Hit (15 damage)

Statler vs. Waldorf: 15 damage

The two teams go all out in a slap fight, as punches fly and moves are made up on the spot. Matthais flies through the air, only to find himself landing in the rocks, while Siercon shouts one liners, which only gets him clobbered by Waldorf, who then taunts him and his foppish moves. Purpearl sends out a series of punches and slaps, sequentially knocking the dwarf and whatever Siercon was out. They then ganged up on Statler and began to punch him silly.

[Lind Whisperer]

The Black Knight shook his head as he casually shoved Statler aside, and talked towards the unconscious corpse of a gnome.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle ~ Sun Hu¿. If you can't even survive an unarmored fist-fight, you are extremely unlikely to survive at anything ~ Every shivering wretch in the hovels."

Proposed Battle Order:

Purpearl vs. Statler

Lind vs. Statler

OoC: Whatever happens, I'm all up for auto-rolling in that order until the battle's over, even in the unlikely event Lind is KO'd.

Edited January 25, 2015 by Lind Whisperer

[StickFig]

Matthias is glad to be unconscious and not have to listen to Whisperer blabber on and on and on....

[Siercon and Coral]

Each time she strikes me, my SP should be considered right? In other words from her 34 damage, 5spx3=15. 34-15=19 damage... leaving me with 6 health?

[StickFig]

Also, 18*3=54; 18*2=36... not 34 and 26 as above.

[Purpearljellyblob]

I might need some confirmation on this, Purpearl's shield would have done (18x3)-(5x3)=39 dmg to Siercon, (18x3)=54 dmg to Statler and (18x2)-(4x2)=28 dmg to Matthias. On the whole Statler would have 300-(40+15+(18x3)+15=124dmg) = 176 health left.

As Statler and Waldorf continue to wallop each other, Purpearl moves around and tries to send another fist into Statler's face from the back row.

Proposed Battle Order:

That appears to be correct.

[Purpearljellyblob]

As Statler and Waldorf continue to wallop each other, Purpearl moves around and pulls Lind back, "Let them be. It's not our fight."

Suggested Battle Order

>Purpearl - Nothing

Lind - Nothing

OOC: I reckon Purpearl and Lind can win this fight without doing anything from now, unless there's something under the Free hits and Hastened rules that I've missed out.

Hastened - The enemy will perform a single Free Hit even if it is targetted during the round, and two Free Hits if it is not targetted.

Statler Team

Free Hits

Waldorf vs. Statler: 15 damage

Waldorf vs. Statler: 15 damage

Waldorf Team

>Purpearl does Nothing

Lind does Nothing

Free Hits

Statler vs. Waldorf: 15 damage

Statler vs. Purpearl: 15/2=8 damage

If Purpearl does nothing from the back row, she will essentially receive 8 damage from free hits which will be absorbed by her armour and medal. Statler will be KO'd after 6 rounds and Waldorf would take 90 damage in total, leaving Waldorf the victor.

[Lind Whisperer]

As Statler and Waldorf continue to wallop each other, Purpearl moves around and pulls Lind back, "Let them be. It's not our fight."

"Agreed."

Lind does nothing.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: Okay, I'm not going to fix Statler's health, but at this point it's pretty clear who's won the fight. So, without further ado...

(That's not really PvP, but...)

Battle Order For Waldorf Team:

>Purpearl does nothing

Lind does nothing

Statler vs. Waldorf: 15 damage

Lind and Purpearl stand back as the two old men begin to slap each other silly. Statler takes enough of a beating to have him fall to the ground and yell "uncle before Waldorf stops.

The Battle is... erm, Victorious! (Or something...)

The Statler Crew

"Uncle!"

Waldorf looks down at Statler, who seems slightly bruised but alive. Waldorf lends a hand out to help Statler up.

"Look, I think we've settled this once and for all."

"*huff huff* Yes... I suppose it is settled. You broke the cart."

The men chuckle to each other, clearly having gotten over their dispute. The party notices that in the time it took them to help the two men fight, the young man had fixed the cart.

"Big Mark! You got the cart fixed!"

"Eeyup."

"Well, it looks like we can make our way back up the mountain now!" The trio get into the cart before turning to the heroes.

"Oi! You four want a ride? It'd be quicker and easier than walking."

"This is my cart, you-"

"Big Mark here wouldn't mind if you came with us, wouldn't you?"

The two old men look at Big Mark earnestly before he sighs in defeat.

"Nnope."

There seemed no reason not to take their offer. Would the party ride the cart to Hoogan?

"Gracias." The Black Knight tossed the tired farmhand two gold. "Barely even a pittance, but perhaps it will buy a carrot for your horse - well, at least, it should cover half a carrot."

Edited January 26, 2015 by Lind Whisperer

[Purpearljellyblob]

"Statler, I apologise if I'm a tiny bit heavy on the hand earlier, but it's all good, no hard feelings." Turning to the three gentlemen, "I'll be glad to ride with you to Hoogan. I believe your village has a sheep problem? Chief Tarlock has sent for us to assist."

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon jumps aboard, silently skipping pleasantries as he dusted the dirt from his cloak. He was slightly bitter that the brawl ended so abruptly and he lost, but on the other hand, if the young man hadn't fixed the cart he was also tempted to blast it out of the way as a joke. But He know some people wouldn't find that funny, so he settled in, contented with the possibility that his and everyone else's extra weight would potentially break the cart again. :P

[StickFig]

He turned, and picked up the gnome like he was a child. (Uses Baby Talk) : "Here you go, let's get you loaded all nice and snug into the cart. We wouldn't want you falling and hurting yourself again..."

Rats, I had a good bit of roleplay planned for that hahahaha....

Matthias dusts himself off, settles his top hat back on his pate, and hauls himself and his cannon into the cart, never looking at Berthadhiell or Whisperer. "To the village," he says simply.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: Sorry, no update tonight, I've got some sets to finish up and today I was really busy.

[Kintobor]

"Well the get in! It won't take us that long to get to Hoogan!"

The party climbs into the cart as Big Mark twitches the reins. The horse begins to carefully trundle up the mountain pass, every bump amplified as the y jumped out of their seats. The two old men laughed heartily.

"Ha! What a riot these city folk are! Never travelled up Mount Ulysses by cart! Ha!"

After a rather breezy ride, the party finally makes it to Hoogan. Wooden buildings with the occasional modern furnishing such as brick and glass windows dotted the cliff line, with grass surprisingly growing on the incredibly wide ledge, which was possibly 200 feet wide. People looked on in curiosity at the heroes, with children waving as the cart made it's way through the village. Sheep grazed around lazily, their shepherds talking to one another. Finally the party came to a large hall near the back of the village, the cart stopping with a jolt.

"You said you need to talk to someone about the sheep? That'd be the Chief's hall, Tarlock's usually in there. Best of luck with whatever your here for!"

"And try not to go missing, you hear! Haha!" The three men trundled away in their cart with the heroes at the door to Chief Tarlock's residence. Opening the door, the party was greeted to an aging man with a thick, bushy beard. He puts his hands together in a fist shape and bows to the party.

"You must be the heroes of Heroica that I have hired? I apologize for not meeting you at the foot of the mountain, but I've had to help prepare for tonights... well, I'm certain you know a little about your task, considering the information I included on the notice for your hall. I am most honoured that you would assist my tribe in our hour of need yet again, as your organization saved my daughter from the halls of the Academy of Enlightenment when it disappeared. My name is Chief Tarlock of the Sheep Tribe. Now then, shall we discuss what you're here for? I'm certain you have many questions."

Tarlock begins to pour himself something to drink out of a bottle while motioning for the party to take a seat. He seemed a little uneasy about something.
