Heroica RPG - Quest #140: Requiem for a Machine

[Kintobor]

"Um... not that I know of." Annienal replies, feeling somewhat stumped. "I haven't really read anything on machines and what not... sorry."

[Scubacarrot]

"No idea." Calamity answers cheerfully. "But, he doesn't seem to be keeping it intact, and that ether core seems connected to it... Maybe... Let's see if this does anything." Calamity aims a darkness spell at the Ether Core.

The big man looks around the room, lots of strange stuff. Keliim had not really seen anything like it before. The orb and "golden lamp" like apparatus caught his eyes.

"What ist that?"

He looks at the old man, "Whateve' his doin', I thinks it wouldst be a good thing to stop him. Wouldst some charm(magic) or a light bomb break hist concentration?"

Calamity aims a darkness spell at the Ether Core.

When Calamity uses her darkness, keliim grins a bit painfuly and raises his arm to cover himself from the effect.

[CMP]

"No idea." Calamity answers cheerfully. "But, he doesn't seem to be keeping it intact, and that ether core seems connected to it... Maybe... Let's see if this does anything." Calamity aims a darkness spell at the Ether Core.

Calamity expends one ether to fling a darkness spell at the ether core, but it fizzles out as it comes into contact with the barrier.

"Interesting..."

The big man looks around the room, lots of strange stuff. Keliim had not really seen anything like it before. The orb and "golden lamp" like apparatus caught his eyes.

"What ist that?"

He looks at the old man, "Whateve' his doin', I thinks it wouldst be a good thing to stop him. Wouldst some charm(magic) or a light bomb break hist concentration?"

"I don't...believe so. This barrier is like nothing I've seen before. Maybe there's something here that can help shed some light on what this thing is?" the alchemist suggested, shrugging at the fallen lab table they had passed.

[Scubacarrot]

Calamity checks the fallen table for anything that seems useful or relevant.

"Wouldn't it be great if my spells started being effective again?"

[Emjajoas]

Mortimer keeps his eye fixed on Chalvo.

"You find anything?" he asks, growing steadily more nervous.

[Mencot]

Keliim looks around the place for something to shut down the barrier or something.

[CMP]

Sorry, I need a bit more time to work out this puzzle. But you're all roughly two thirds of the way in, we should finish the quest before Halloween.

[Mencot]

Sounds good.

[CMP]

Keliim looks around the place for something to shut down the barrier or something.

Kellim doesn't see any apparatus they can reach to disable the barrier. It's likely that the ether core in the device is powering it, but it's behind the barrier itself. More worrying is that the ether core, the barrier, and the genie lamp encased in some strange machine appear to be linked.

Calamity checks the fallen table for anything that seems useful or relevant.

Several Vibrataphones, smashed from being thrown to the ground by the upended table, are scattered across the floor. Avina starts poking around the machines. Calamity finds a few research records. It's hard to discern it through all the technobabble, but it appears that the scientists ('Threi Havloc' being one of them) were working on developing soundproof materials.

Study has suggested that it may be possible to muffle sound when certain elements are introduced into materials making up walls - like houses can be insulated against the cold, walls can also be insulated against sound. Naturally the applications for such a technology would be significant. We have received appropriate funding and have acquired several Vibrataphones with sample music rolls that can mimic various pitches of volume. We must ensure even the loudest of noises cannot penetrate the materials we are researching.

Pages of various experiments - all listed as having failed - follow, until one entry dated only a few days ago.

None of the materials we have experimented on have been able to muffle sound. It is possible Doctor Legonardo has access to such materials but our research isn't nearly significant enough to warrant a distraction from his current work. We have abandoned our efforts in finding readily available soundproof materials for the moment...however, we do have other methods. One of our suppliers obtained a used Lamp of Summoning alongside a fresh supply of ether cores.

Raw ether has its uses, but very old magic such this can have an extensive variety of applications....the djinn that inhabits the lamp, however, is being uncooperative, stating that he has fulfilled his 'three wishes' and merely wishes to sleep. Cooperation does not seem to be essential however, as we've borrowed an ether converter from the Department of Alternative Power Studies and using it to siphon the djinn's inherent magic and convert it into pure ethereal power - which, as we predicted, has proven a very effective soundproof barrier!* The Lamp Containment Unit keeps the djinn in its lamp, and from there it's relatively easy to use that magic to power the barrier.

* - Our calculations indicate that a sustained, simultaneous striking of all possible pitches will generate a frequency that could potentially destroy the barrier..or more accurately, the sound will simply cause a catastrophic chain reaction by driving the djinn out of its lamp. Luckily none of our sample rolls has such a capability.

Note to self: Speak to Doctor Telsa about these inquiries into our science team. I don't know who this 'Spymaster Tanooki' thinks he is, but I'm quite certain none of my research team are spies. What kind of spymaster goes hunting double agents?

"Interesting..." muttered Avina, looking over Calamity's shoulder. "One of these vibrataphones is intact. And we appear to have all these sample rolls. If we generate a sound as loud as possible across multiple pitches for as long as we can....the vibrataphone probably won't survive, but it should overload this barrier."

She picked up the bundle of sample sound rolls and unrolled them.

"Each one of these bumps represents a note. Typically these rolls as far longer and create music, but it sounds like the scientists were just using it to test soundproof materials....useful. But no single roll will do the job. We need to find several of them, and then from there I think I could splice them all together. So, we need to find three music rolls that, when combined, hit every possible note at the same time. The bumps can't overlap, though. Orientation of the rolls shouldn't matter."

Avina glances at the party.

"Any questions?"

NOTE: DO NOT POST THE SOLUTION IN THIS TOPIC. Each of you can PM me your solution within 24 hours to receive experience for the puzzle.

[Emjajoas]

"When you said orientation shouldn't matter, does that mean we can turn them clockwise and counterclockwise, or can we mirror them too?"

[CMP]

"When you said orientation shouldn't matter, does that mean we can turn them clockwise and counterclockwise, or can we mirror them too?"

"Only turn."

[Mencot]

Keliim listens to Avina and then looks at the samples for awhile.

"Hmm... Aye, alright. Ok'y, intrestin'"

[CMP]

Sorry once more, got sidetracked near the end of yesterday.

The party scrambles to figure out which sample rolls will do the best job of busting the barrier. Eventually everyone determines that rolls 1, 9, and 3 have the best shot of it. Avina takes the rolls and cuts the blank pieces away very carefully, layering the sheets on top of the eachother.

"Let's hope this doesn't blow up in our faces. Immediately, anyway."

She loads the abomination of a music rolls into the intact Vibrataphone and cranks it up. Apparently even the device has been modified, because no sound it makes is even akin to music. It's a rough, static-y white noise for a while, get slowly louder and higher in pitch. Avina clamps one hand over one ear as she continues to crank the machine, the noise becoming mind-numbing and almost unbearable to everyone in the room. The party can't hear it, but they can see the 'Lamp Containment Unit' in the corner begin to rattle with a slight tick. The sound reaches it peak, and finally, the containment unit's glass casing cracks, a bit of smoke spilling out of it. The ether core mounted in the device in the middle of the room dims, and the ethereal barrier flickers slightly before going out. Everyone gains experience! Chalvo straightens up with a start, looking as though he has a terrible headache from the sound.

"...O-Oh dear. I didn't-"

"GAAAAH!!!!"

A thick bluish smoke had filled the containment unit and was now steadily seeping out through the crack and reforming into a vaguely physical form of a djinn.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YOUR PROBLEM, FIRST YOU LOCK ME IN THAT THING, NOW I CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE???"

"....WHAT?"

"WHAT? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? CAN YOU HEAR A WORD I'M SAYING??" The djinn glared at the party with surprising intensity. "FINE, FORGET THIS, I'M GETTING OUT, AND NONE OF YOU ARE STOPPING ME!!"

[Kintobor]

OOC: Annienal ate the Field Rations earlier, so she should be up to her max health.

Annienal covers her ears, the sharpness of the audio hurting more than nails squealing across a chalkboard. Finally it stops as the djinn emerges.

"Um... I'll take on the barrier, Mortimer. Let me go ahead of you and perhaps I can take it down... um, if that's alright with you."

Annienal focuses on the Etherial Barrier from the front row for both of her actions.

[Mencot]

OoC: Keliim should be Encouraged.

Keliim also holds his ears to the loud sharp noice and turns away from the barrier when it goes out.

When he gets back up and turns around the genie of the lamp is standing infront of them.

"Whoa, a real genie, 'at thoo don´t see everyday!"

The genie try to get away from there.

"Whow, whow, where thou goin'? We want uir three wishes! The big man says smiling laughing and He attacks the djinn from backrow but also try to get the lamp!

"WHAT DID SHE SAY? SHOULD WE JUST HIT HER?"

Calamity attacks Mayrene with a darkness spell from the back row, twice.

[Kintobor]

"Whow, whow, where thou goin'? We want uir three wishes! The big man says smiling and He attacks the djinn from backrow but also try to get the lamp!

"Um... the genie's already granted it's three wishes though..."

[Mencot]

"it wast Suppoos tae be a joke, lassie but a lamp ist always useful, with a genie or not" Keliim says smiling, while he is preapering to attack the genie twice.

Round of Genie out of a Bottle

Annienal vs. Barrier (Cutlass) - Shield: Spellblade Spin (Seven hits, two to Barrier, KO'd, five to Mayrene = 175 damage to Mayrene)

Annienal vs. Barrier Mayrene (Cutlass) - Enchantment (-8 ether, +1 SP)

>Mortimer vs. Mayrene (Tritech) - Aim (22 damage)

>Mortimer vs. Mayrene (Tritech) - Special Damage: Three Wishes (Mayrene encouraged, hastened, and nimble, -3 ether)

>Avina vs. Mayrene (Zeta and Sigma) - Damage (37x2/2 = 37 damage, Avina KO'd)

>Avina vs. Mayrene (Zeta and Sigma)

>Keliim vs. Mayrene (Axe) - Shield: Frenzy (32/2x2 = 32 damage, no avoid)

>Keliim vs. Mayrene (Axe) - Hit (Damage avoided)

>Calamity vs. Mayrene (Darkness) - Damage (20x2/2 = 20 damage, Calamity KO'd)

>Calamity vs. Mayrene (Darkness)

Mayrene vs. Annienal - (42x2 - 13 = 69 damage, KO'd)

Mayrene summons Barrier - (-3 ether)

The round starts off well. Annienal blitzes both enemies with her cutlass, tearing through the barrier, and then pours some ether into her shield. Mortimer and Kellim dish out some hits, but Mayrene imbues herself with a variety of effects and knocks out Calamity and Avina with ease, then nearly does the same to Annienal, her arm forming a huge, cloudy hammer as she swings. She then puts up a second barrier around herself - hitting her's going to be difficult this round, but she's burning through her ether stores rapidly.
