Heroica RPG - Quest #140: Requiem for a Machine

[Emjajoas]

Mortimer uncorks an Ambrosia, chugging it back with a scowl. He glances around frantically for the Ogre, intent on getting his weapons back, colours blurring together.

"Where's Erdy's damn handcannon?" he curses, hands balling into fists. "You still wanna go at these damn things alone, Reg?

OOC: Anniversary medal should also have +1 in each stat. Thanks!

"So not to interrupt from the robots that have just declared lethal force against specifically us... Does anyone have a weapon I can use?" Calamity asks.

[Mencot]

While putting the Scarab Shield also to good use he looks at Calamity after her question, "Aye, yea thou doesn't habt any weapons... what I habt art way too heavy for thee. Thou ain´t got any spells thou canst use?"

"If these things beat up th' Ogre we art screwed!" He turns to Avina, "We wanted to seek out some info 'bout these things, guess we gonna get a personal close up touch!"

"Where's Erdy's damn handcannon?" he curses, hands balling into fists. "You still wanna go at these damn things alone, Reg?

Reg looked between the heroes and the machines - weighing his pride against his chances of survival.

"...screw that. Sewer Wolves, let's get the hell out of here!"

"YES SIR!!"

"Not a chance!" Avina glances at the party. "We need to take them down before they escape, they could still have information we need."

"So not to interrupt from the robots that have just declared lethal force against specifically us... Does anyone have a weapon I can use?" Calamity asks.

Calamity looks towards the door, and she can spot an ogre-sized foot lying out there. It's a safe bet the party's weapons are still in his hands.

Then he moves back slowly to the others, observing every mech and takes his axe comments, "Scrapmetal!" and stands his ground to protect the innocent people in the tavern.

He says to Avina and EM, "Thou seen any of these kinds before? Any goid plans? Not that we art in undertoe here! He looks at Reg and his gang and says," Nouw wouldst be thy chance to take care of thy mess."

"My advice is hightail it out of here, we're leaving!"

"Their armor is weak between the arm and the shoulderplate and at the hip, from what it looks like. They seem to be running on overcharged ether cores, how do someone get enough ether to do that?"

"Um, girls, perhaps we can figure this out some other time? I'd advice you to remain calm and get behind something!" Annienal stat to the women at the counter, trying her best to keep collected and being diplomatic. She clutched the handle of the only sword she had on her, glad to have at least something to defend herself with.

"...right, everyone get back, let the heroes handle this."

"Sure thing, see ya around."

Reg pushes over his table, giving him and the Sewer Wolves some paltry cover as they attempt to fight their way out through the automatons, while also trying to fend off the heroes.

"CAUTION: SUSPECT ATTEMPTING TO FLEE. SIGNALLING REINFORCEMENTS."

The automatons divided their attention between the Sewer Wolves and the party.

PREPARE FOR THREE-WAY BATTLE!!!

-Rolls of Damage, Special Damage, and Free Hits have a 50/50 chance of instead targeting a random member of the other enemy party instead of at the hero. Area of effect attacks only damage the party being targeted. This includes enemy AoE attacks.

-If an enemy's Free Hit targets a member of the other enemy, free hit order is not disrupted (If Automaton A's free hit against Em instead damages Reg, Automaton B will again target Em)

-Heroes can spend one turn to pick up one of their weapons

-A new automaton spawns at the end of every round

-The Sewer Wolves must all be knocked out

OoC: I equipt the Shield I have in post 153. I should be able to use both the shield and the helmet now that I am lvl 10, right?

Party leader any planes on who to attack or should we just choose? Should I attack drones or thugs?

Keliim looks at the wolfgang, "Stop for a sec."

He targets Big Red from Frontrow.

OoC: I equipt the Shield I have in post 153. I should be able to use both the shield and the helmet now that I am lvl 10, right?

Only knights can use shields.

"Um... that's a lot of guys. Anyone got a bomb?"

Edited August 21, 2015 by Kintobor

[Mencot]

Ooc: Oh yes thats right

Quick noobquestion, does bombs do same damage to foes disregarding row? And If I use a bomb on the robots it will on hurt them not the Thugs, right? Because if it also hurts the thugs, I will use it on one of them instead.

"Um... that's a lot of guys. Anyone got a bomb?"

"Aye, I gotta a bomb." He pulls out the Demeter Bomb, "This that appeared out of nowhere."

Keliim uses it instead on MK11C from backrow.

[Mencot]

"So, who ist feelin' lucky! If nae, they shoods seek cover, coz ah am feelin' thes place needs a new decur." The big man says waving bombs around, his eyes turned red again.

[Emjajoas]

Mortimer spends a turn picking up Erdy's Handcannon from the Back Row. He barks orders, eye darting around the battlefield. It seemed to almost overwhelm him. "Keliim! We need to take care of the Sewer wolves first! The robots could help us out. Save your bomb for later."

BO:

Mortimer picks up Handcannon, Back Row

Annienal

Avina attacks Briar with Zeta and Sigma from the Back Row, dual striking to Briar again.

Keliim

Calamity

[Kintobor]

"I agree that we need to focus on the Wolves, but we run the risk of getting damaged if we don't at least focus on them somewhat."

Annienal attacks Reg from the back row.

[Emjajoas]

"Yeah, but that Demeter bomb packs a damn punch-- hell, if you think we need it, I'll toss a Lightning bomb."

[Mencot]

"Aye, it does. This be my plan but I am willin' to change it for a better? Thou be the boss this time."

Keliim attacks​ Big red from backrow.

Edited August 22, 2015 by Mencot

[Scubacarrot]

"You should throw the bomb, these machines are going to wreck us. Lethal force, remember? And is anyone going to attack Briar?"

Calamity spends her turn trying to Blind Big red with her Scroll from the back row.

Edited August 21, 2015 by Scubacarrot

[Emjajoas]

Mortimer nods, tossing a Lightning Bomb from the Back Row instead of picking up Erdy's Handcannon.

[Mencot]

"I thinkst Avina ist attackin' him! An' that bomb ist a smart option coz those mechs art gonna iverrun us ift non concentrate on them."

[CMP]

I'll assume Mortimer is using the Lightning Bomb on the automatons. AoE attacks only affect one party.

Round One of Lady Luck's Royale

>Mortimer uses Lightning Bomb (Automatons) - (5 lightning damage, Drones KO'd)

>Annienal vs. Reg (Training) - Critical Hit (24/2 - 5 = 7 damage)

>Avina vs. Briar (Zeta/Sigma) - Hit (28/2 = 14 x 2 = 28 damage)

>Kellim vs. Big Red - Special Damage: Good as Newish (No effect)

>Calamity blinds Reg - Success (-1 ether, negative effect avoided)

Snapshot A vs. Briar - (10 damage)

Snapshot B vs. Mortimer - (10/2 - 58 = 0 damage)

Snapshot C vs. Big Red - (10 damage)

Fixit A vs. Annienal - (15/2 - 10 = 0 damage)

Fixit B vs. Avina - (15/2 = 7 damage)

Fixit C vs. Kellim - (15/2 - 4 = 3 damage)

Drone D enters battle

Calamity blessed and transcended (+10% health, +1 ether)

Mortimer lobs a lightning bomb that short-circuits all the automaton Drones. Annienal, Avina, and Kellim advance on the Sewer Wolves, but they can't dish out all that much damage. Calamity's spell is successful, but Reg manages to shrug off its effects. The remainder of the automatons deal out hits to both parties, and reinforcements start arriving.

"Damned machine..." Avina pushes back the automaton that bashed her with its wrench. "I have plenty of Potions and it won't take me a moment to use them, if needed."

Three-Way Battle

-Rolls of Damage, Special Damage, and Free Hits have a 50/50 chance of instead targeting a random member of the other enemy party instead of at the hero. Area of effect attacks only damage the party being targeted. This includes enemy AoE attacks.

-If an enemy's Free Hit targets a member of the other enemy, free hit order is not disrupted (If Automaton A's free hit against Em instead damages Reg, Automaton B will again target Em)

-Heroes can spend one turn to pick up one of their weapons

-A new automaton spawns at the end of every round

-The Sewer Wolves must all be knocked out

Round Two of Lady Luck's Royale

>Mortimer retrieves Tritech Handcannon

>Annienal vs. Reg (Training) - Enchantment (+1 SP, -6 ether)

>Avina vs. Briar (Zeta/Sigma) - Hit (28/2 = 14 x 2 = 28 damage)

>Kellim vs. MK11A - Special Damage: REPAIR (Snapshot A repaired by 25)

>Calamity blinds Reg - Success (-1 ether, Red blinded)

Drone D vs. Briar - (5 damage)

Snapshot A vs. Briar - (10 damage)

Snapshot B vs. Big Red - (10 damage)

Snapshot C vs. Mortimer - (10/2 - 58 = 0 damage)

Fixit B vs. Annienal - (15/2 - 10 = 0 damage)

Fixit C vs. Avina - (15/2 = 7 damage)

Snapshot D enters battle

Calamity blessed and transcended (+10% health, +1 ether)

Drone uses SWARM (No other Drones, no effect)

Mortimer dives for the door, managing to grab his trusty handcannon from underneath the arm of the fallen ogre. Avina slashes at Briar - who is being mobbed by automatons - while Calamity's second attempt to blind Reg bears fruit. Kellim, however, misses his attack, and the automaton repairs one of its brethren.

Three-Way Battle

-Rolls of Damage, Special Damage, and Free Hits have a 50/50 chance of instead targeting a random member of the other enemy party instead of at the hero. Area of effect attacks only damage the party being targeted. This includes enemy AoE attacks.

-If an enemy's Free Hit targets a member of the other enemy, free hit order is not disrupted (If Automaton A's free hit against Em instead damages Reg, Automaton B will again target Em)

-Heroes can spend one turn to pick up one of their weapons

-A new automaton spawns at the end of every round

-The Sewer Wolves must all be knocked out

Battle Order:

Mortimer attacks Reg with Erdy's Handcannon from the Back Row.

Annienal

Avina uses a Remedy on Keliim and attacks MK2D with Zeta and Sigma from the Back Row (dual striking to MK7A)

[Kintobor]

Annienal's a Mystic Knight, Pie. She uses Enchantment on her current shield. Also, her Greaves should be leg wear, not hand wear.

Annienal wraps her hand around her Amethyst. She use it combined with her Training Sword on Reg Goldjaw from the back row.

"I'd like to be able to get my Cutlass soon, since I'm doing little to nothing against Reg."

"Might be a good time for it now," Em barks. "I can keep Reg busy and take a hit from Briar."
