Heroica RPG - Quest #140: Requiem for a Machine

[CMP]

Ooc: is there a reason for why the bomb didn't hurt the "Blackout" bots?"

They are immune to magic - which includes elemental damage.

[Mencot]

OoC: yea, I figured that after I wrote it but I somehow thought a bomb is a bomb it hurts anything

Another question: how much damage will I actually do, when having the wolfish hat(four with wolf rep.) on and being engouraged?

"Damn, those two automatons art still standin', unscratched! Take this!" The big warrior shouts as he attacks Blackout 1 first and then Blackout 2 from frontrow.

[CMP]

Another question: how much damage will I actually do, when having the wolfish hat(four with wolf rep.) on and being engouraged?

For a basic attack, (Level 11 + WP (5 + 20)) x 2 = 52 damage.

[Mencot]

Oke, thx. Good to know, how to really count it.

[Scubacarrot]

Calamity attacks Blackout 1 with her weapon from the front row.

Round Two of Requiem for a Machine

>Mortimer vs. Blackout A (Tritech) - Deflected Damage (No deflect, 10/2 - 58 = 0 damage)

>Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Cutlass) - Critical Hit (53x2/2 = 53 damage)

>Avina vs. Blackout B twice (Z&S) - Chrysopeia (Gold Bar)

Keliim vs. Blackout A (Ori Axe) - Extra Critical Hit (86x2 = 172 damage, Blackout A KO'd)

Keliim vs. Blackout B (Ori Axe) - Hit (36x2 = 52 damage)

Calamity vs. Blackout A B (Crook) - Shield: Magical Burst (No effect, blackout)

Kellim smashes his axe into both Blackout automatons, destroying one, while Annie duels with the Dispatcher, its dual energy blade/electrostaff proving quite useless against her considerable defenses, letting her land a deep hit on the machine. Calamity attempts to unleash a blast of magical energy, but she's a bit early. Luckily, the blackout lifts shortly afterward. The party can hear distant arguing of what's surely Wally and Ervie from elsewhere in the cavern.

[Scubacarrot]

"Once more, I'd really appreciate it if my spells started working normally again. Not cool." Calamity shot an annoyed look at Avina, as if it were all her fault.

Calamity attacks MK22B with her weapon from the front row, or Dispatcher with a darkness spell from the back row if the first is down.

[Mencot]

OoC: I haven´t really gotten into this "how to calculate damage" but isn´t it 11+(5*4)=31*2=62 damage not 52 damage

"Nowst we be talki'" Keliim says when the bots fall one after the other."Lets end this!"

Keliim attacks Dispatcher and then remaining Blackout from frontrow.

OoC: I haven´t really gotten into this "how to calculate damage" but isn´t it 11+(5*4)=31*2=62 damage not 52 damage

11+(5+20) = 36 x 2 = 72 damage, so we're both wrong, sorry, will fix.

Round Three of Requiem for a Machine

>Mortimer vs. Dispatcher (Tritech) - Hit (48 damage, Dispatcher cursed)

>Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Cutlass) - Enchantment (+1 SP, -9 ether)

>Avina vs. Dispatcher twice (Z&S) - Hit (29/2 = 14 damage x 2 = 28 damage)

Keliim vs. Dispatcher (Ori Axe) - Hit (36x2 = 72 damage)

Keliim vs. Blackout B (Ori Axe) - Special Damage: BLACKOUT (No ether use for the next round)

Calamity vs. Blackout B (Crook) - Special Damage: BLACKOUT (No effect, blackout)

Dispatcher summons Snapshot Squad

Dispatcher cursed (-10% max health)

The party deals some massive damage to the Dispatcher, but it doesn't stop him from summoning a group of automatons and another blackout gets dropped on the party. As the Dispatcher becomes critically damage, its odd, energized eye seems to glow and blink out of control. It appears whatever is serving as the thing's power source is going crazy.

Battle Order:

Mortimer uses a Phoenix Essence on Keliim from the Back Row

Annienal

Avina VS Snapshot Squad with Zeta and Sigma (twice) from Back Row

Keliim

Calamity

[Mencot]

As Keliim went flying through the air from getting snapped by the squad of bots, he just kept thinking about what Annie had said awhile ago: "Um... this is turning out a little easier than I thought it was going to be..." But not thinking anymore of that the big man landed on his back with a loud sound and passed out.

But there was no time to be laying around. Thanks to Mortimer, he was up on his feet in no time. "Thanks mate."

He rubbed the back of his head, stretched out his body and cracked his knuckles. He raised his axe against the Dispatcher from frontrow. Herst we go again!

"Um... Kellim, can you let me handle the Dispatcher? I, um, kind of put these wings on to focus on him, and we need others focusing on other enemies."

[Mencot]

"Hmm, certainly." Keliim says with a noble, snobbish tone and does a fine gesture with his hand against the big bot.

"Thy be welcome, givt it hell." He continued with a normal tone and smile and slashes his axe against the Snapshot bots instead from frontrow.

"Um... thanks, um, Kellim."

Annienal strikes the Dispatcher from the Back Row.

[Mencot]

edit sorry, nvm. Lets see this round how it goes, before changing any tactic.

[Scubacarrot]

Calamity repeats.

[CMP]

...Why'd I put five Snapshots in that squad?? I checked back and the ones that were there at first were only three. Sorry. They will only have three from here on in.

Round Five of Requiem for a Machine

>Mortimer revives Kellim

>Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Cutlass) - Critical Hit (53x2/2 = 53 damage, Dispatcher melting down)

>Avina no longer stunned

Keliim vs. Snapshout Squad (Ori Axe) - Hit (36 damage)

Calamity vs. Blackout B (Crook) - Miss (No effect)

Dispatcher cursed (-10% max...er, damage, I guess. )

Mortimer revives Kellim so that he can ram his axe into one of the Snapshots. Annienal impales the Dispatcher...but the machine pulls back off of her blade. The automaton's singular optic begins blinking, and red electricity begins arcing around it as it heats up.

"WARNING. ACTIVATING DISPATCH PROTOCOL. RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION: EVACUATE IMMEDIATE VICINITY BEFORE CORE MELTDOWN."

"What?" yelled Avina, still struggling to regain her senses. "Did it say 'meltdown'? This thing's more like the Sentinel than I thought....we'll need to do more than just deplete its health, beat that thing into the dirt before it blows up in our faces. Dare I suggest you destroy it more...permanently, this time?"
