Heroica RPG - Quest #147: Judgment Day

[Kintobor]

OOC: Waiting for response from Endgame before I post a battle order, since I kind of want to know if I took damage or not.

Never mind, seems I goofed. Battle order coming up!

[swils]

Thormanil kneels beside his partner, suggesting that he lay low and rest. Surely the worst was yet to come.

Rising, he continues his assault on Left Wing from the front row.

A heal would be good, and a revive for Arx even better, if we're going for big damage rolls via lucky.

[Kintobor]

"I don't care who gets the final blow in! There won't be a final blow if you two keep jabbering away! Get your heads in the game and stay focused!"

Karie was tired of being involved in various individuals dances with death. She'd been it before, she had been forced to do it again.

"Let's get this over with so we have a home to go to. Don't worry about healing. I've got everyone covered."

Karie drinks another Grand Tonic before playing a True Love's Serenade from the back row.

Karie

Thormanil

Vindsval

Arthur

Siercon

Lind

Jinnipher

Gabriel strikes Immortalis's Left Claw from the back row.

Masson strikes Immortalis's Right Claw from the back row.

[Siercon and Coral]

"Indeed, we'll all be slaughtered if we think about final blows."

Siercon attacks the left wing with the etherial topaz from the back row (giant spear in case of shield)

"That said, I'm sorry for you" he said kindly to miirym

[Flipz]

"Hel no. I promised from the beginning of this quest that this sword is cleaving right through that bastard's neck, before you were even recruited. You didn't even know you had a grandmother until five minutes ago and I have a bone to pick. So step aside."

<I have known for plenty of time the truth of my parentage. Death itself did not stop my uncle and...Vorpalis...from seeking me out. It may have only been when I joined this mission that I learned of my grandfather's connection to them, but believe me when I say that I have had the right to his life long before you ever met him.>

"If I learned one thing fighting Lupine, it's that you don't get a choice as to who gives the final cut."

"I don't care who gets the final blow in! There won't be a final blow if you two keep jabbering away! Get your heads in the game and stay focused!"

Karie was tired of being involved in various individuals dances with death. She'd been it before, she had been forced to do it again.

"Indeed, we'll all be slaughtered if we think about final blows."

Siercon attacks the left wing with the etherial topaz from the back row (giant spear in case of shield)

"That said, I'm sorry for you" he said kindly to miirym

<You misunderstand my intentions. Stab him with your swords, vent upon him your venom, I do not care who renders him unable to fight. But after, when he lay defeated before us, and it is in our hands whether he lives or dies...that decision, and its execution, belong to me.>

"I'm backing her up in that," Arthur says, finally getting involved. "It's her blood. Her decision. Whether or not I agree with what she decides."

[Lind Whisperer]

<You misunderstand my intentions. Stab him with your swords, vent upon him your venom, I do not care who renders him unable to fight. But after, when he lay defeated before us, and it is in our hands whether he lives or dies...that decision, and its execution, belong to me.>

"I'm backing her up in that," Arthur says, finally getting involved. "It's her blood. Her decision. Whether or not I agree with what she decides."

Lind shook his head.

"Arthur, I don't want to argue with you now, just when we're on speaking terms again, but this is a group. Not a monarchy. And your dragon is not our party leader. She doesn't get to call the shots on who kills what, when, and why.

This isn't a family squabble, this is a massive event that will, in all likeliness, reverberate across all of Olegia for decades. What to do when - if - Immortalis falls - is something that we will need to decide as a group, through our combined wisdom - or whatever we have that's closest to it.

Not through leaving it up to the youngest member, and "just hoping she makes the right decision"."

[JimBee]

"For once, the kid is right. Buzz off, little dragon.

<I have known for plenty of time the truth of my parentage. Death itself did not stop my uncle and...Vorpalis...from seeking me out. It may have only been when I joined this mission that I learned of my grandfather's connection to them, but believe me when I say that I have had the right to his life long before you ever met him.>

<You misunderstand my intentions. Stab him with your swords, vent upon him your venom, I do not care who renders him unable to fight. But after, when he lay defeated before us, and it is in our hands whether he lives or dies...that decision, and its execution, belong to me.>

"I'm backing her up in that," Arthur says, finally getting involved. "It's her blood. Her decision. Whether or not I agree with what she decides."

"Tch. From the look of it I've known him for longer than you've been alive."

Lind shook his head.

"Arthur, I don't want to argue with you now, just when we're on speaking terms again, but this is a group. Not a monarchy. And your dragon is not our party leader. She doesn't get to call the shots on who kills what, when, and why.

Not through leaving it up to the youngest member, and "just hoping she makes the right decision"."

"...For once, the kid is right. Keep your pet on a leash."

[Asphalt]

When he is laying dying upon the ground you may argue about who has the honor of landing the final blow. Until then focus on keeping one another alive long enough to slay the beast.

Vindsval listend to the new music and feels its healing touch wash over him.

Karie, will this heal all of us?

Time to trim his nails.

Vindsval Attacks the Right Claw with the Stygian Blade From the Back Row.

Edited August 6, 2016 by Asphalt

[Endgame]

"I... Am not in control of these memories, right now. With telethia dead, they're running wild."

The dragon draws a deep breath.

"You think I want to die? I am tired. I am so very tired. I will confess that. But I promised Eyva that I would protect this world, and I will continue to just that. Lethauros hunted until he was bested. Vorpalis conquered until he was stopped. And I will continue to judge until I die. That is my duty."

Gabriel looks at the golden dragon.

"Immortalis became what he is now because he took responsibility for lives that weren't his. You want to go down that path, little dragon?"

Siercon gets an incredible hit on Immortalis, but the dragon soon retaliates. He brings his lightning bold sabers down upon Vindsval, instantly piercing his impressive defenses. Only the Fenghuang Incense prevented his obliteration. Immortalis' quick movements undo Thormanil and Siercon as well. Almost all of the party's lifelines were now cut. Things were growing dire...

"..."

Ikarus, Father of Dragons, Level 200 Ancient *Bleeding 13!* *Poison 80!* *Fragile! 2 rounds remaining*

*Immune to Instant Kill, Minimization, and Hexed!*

HP: 10,360/50,000

SP: -200

Specials:

The Sky Is Falling: Immortalis calls forth a barrage of lightning strikes, smiting the heroes. All heroes have a 1/2 chance of taking electrical-elemental damage equal to their level times three. This attack also temporarily changes Immortalis's type from Ancient to Electric for 3 rounds.

Fade To Black: Immortalis calls down the storm, cloaking the entire battlefield in electric black clouds. All heroes reciedve the Electrified 10 effect, and for the next round, all of Immortalis becomes Shrouded (1/2 chance to evade damage)

Judgment Day: Immortalis deals 9999 damage to the hero who rolled Special Damage, and passes his verdict upon the party, Dooming all of them.

Specials decided randomly.

Passive Specials:

Last Stand: All of Immortalis' limbs share the same 50,000 HP. Limbs cannot be taken out individually - All of his body parts fall when the collective HP hits zero.

Adapt: All negative effects last two rounds on any of Immortalis' parts - when they expire, they will be permanently added to that body part's list of immunities. An insta-kill attack will not destroy that limb, but it will reset its immunities back to the default ones. (Immortalis cannot adapt to Bleeding, Poison, Burning, and Fragile, so those effects will work as they normally do.)

Torn To Shreds: All attacks reduce the SP of the limb being damaged by 25; SP can go into the negatives, adding to the damage of attacks. Targeting and successfully hitting Immortalis' head reduces the SP of all body parts by 50. Bombs do not lower SP or recieve extra damage due to negative SP. Negative SP will be added before multipliers when calculating damage.

[Asphalt]

The green giant claws the ground, forcing himself back to his feet. Black blood flows from the corners of his mouth, staining his fangs as he grimaces in pain. The massive charred wounds in his chest closes, the flesh turning from charred black and red to the healthy green. He brings his flesh hand to his mouth, wiping away the blood.

That was far from pleasant. I would prefer that not become permanent.

​Vindsval removes a Fenghuang Essesnce from his pack and Drinks it down.

[Flipz]

Lind shook his head.

"Arthur, I don't want to argue with you now, just when we're on speaking terms again, but this is a group. Not a monarchy. And your dragon is not our party leader. She doesn't get to call the shots on who kills what, when, and why.

This isn't a family squabble, this is a massive event that will, in all likeliness, reverberate across all of Olegia for decades. What to do when - if - Immortalis falls - is something that we will need to decide as a group, through our combined wisdom - or whatever we have that's closest to it.

Not through leaving it up to the youngest member, and "just hoping she makes the right decision"."

"Yes, and I'm sure that when your grandfather goes rogue and tries to conquer the Free Islands, when you face the shame of your flesh and blood becoming a blight upon the world but despite the shame and guilt you fight on against him anyway, when you face possibly the most emotionally fraught conversation you've ever had in your life stripped of the only family you've ever known with only a stranger to back you up...when all that happens, I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine with everyone else trampling all over your chance at absolution."

Miirym raises a wing to stop Arthur. <I'll take it into consideration. But it has to be at my hand.>

"For once, the kid is right. Buzz off, little dragon.

"Tch. From the look of it I've known him for longer than you've been alive."

"...For once, the kid is right. Keep your pet on a leash."

"...Screw you, you arrogant--" Arthur stops himself before his anger gets the better of him. "She's a person, you soulless psychopath! And she's apparently a damn sight better at it than you are, from what I've seen tonight."

Miirym rolls her eyes. <Father, please.> Miirym stares coolly at Jinnipher. <If this is about what my blood father did, I'm sorry, but you've had your vengeance. He's dead. You won. You don't have the inherent right to kill his entire family just because of what he did. Right of vengeance only carries so far. I, on the other hand...>

"I... Am not in control of these memories, right now. With telethia dead, they're running wild."

The dragon draws a deep breath.

"You think I want to die? I am tired. I am so very tired. I will confess that. But I promised Eyva that I would protect this world, and I will continue to just that. Lethauros hunted until he was bested. Vorpalis conquered until he was stopped. And I will continue to judge until I die. That is my duty."

Gabriel looks at the golden dragon.

"Immortalis became what he is now because he took responsibility for lives that weren't his. You want to go down that path, little dragon?"

<This is my blood. It's my responsibility to repair the damage he's caused...or in some cases, to return it.>

"...wait, that sounds like you're already planning to--"

<My uncle was the Hunter, my blood father the Conqueror, my grandfather the Judge. I am the Guardian. My duty is to protect the world. No matter the cost.>

"Miirym--"

Miirym turns slightly, making sure everyone is paying attention. <Dragons are not like other beings. We are not born blind and helpless babes like the mortal races. From the time we emerge from our shells, we have been the recipients of strength, emotions, whispers upon the Spirit Pools, and it is those strengths that first shape our path. When I hatched, I knew what I was meant to be. And when I spoke with my grandfather, I realized what this moment was--a fixed moment in time, unaffected by vision, prophecy, or any other means that might otherwise change it. The universe allowed me life, so that I might cleanse my blood of our sins, closing the era of my forebears so a new one may flourish without them.>

"Miirym...you're not making sense. If you kill him, it won't...that's not the right reason to do it."

Miirym snorts in exasperation. <What happened to 'I'm backing her up in this'?>

"..."

<Fine. I already promised consideration, but I will accede to Karie's order as party leader. But it will be me that ends this, no matter the decision made. On that, I will not be swayed. I do have the right to that much.>

OOC: Arthur shouldn't have taken damage--Mail of the Renegade Commander.

Arthur pauses in consideration, when he sees his opening. "Get Arx up--I can guarantee this battle ends, right now." He carefully switches his weapons, double-checking his plan--but it is solid. "If Karie plays a Lucky Chant, then Thormanil or Karie uses a Jinxy Juice on the Left Wing, I can take him down in one solid hit that's almost guaranteed to hit--the poison will finish him off. We just need someone to get Arx and Karie healed, and anyone else who'd be taking the Free Hits."

"Oh...hadn't noticed you were out of Ether, Karie...okay, but still, even with just the Jinxy Juice this should work. Thormanil would need to go first and use the Jinxy Juice from the Back Row, then someone else can revive Arx, three other people who can handle the claws' hits would go next and heal people up, and then I'd take the wing, with Lind and Vindsval tanking the Wing and Stormpiercer Free Hits respectively and Miirym going between them to handle the tail."

Arthur attacks the Left Wing from the Front Row with his Spider Leg Spear. Miirym does nothing in the Back Row.

[Lind Whisperer]

"Yes, and I'm sure that when your grandfather goes rogue and tries to conquer the Free Islands, when you face the shame of your flesh and blood becoming a blight upon the world but despite the shame and guilt you fight on against him anyway, when you face possibly the most emotionally fraught conversation you've ever had in your life stripped of the only family you've ever known with only a stranger to back you up...when all that happens, I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine with everyone else trampling all over your chance at absolution."

Lind looked at the entranced father.

"Arthur, there are more people here today than just Miirym. This affects more people than just Miirym.

I'm glad her world, and your world, apparently, revolve entirely around her emotional struggles. But they're getting in the way of our mission, and you're loosing sight of the end goal.

This is not about your wonder child's feelings. This is about saving Eubric from imminent destruction - and ultimately, deciding what is to be done so other cities don't suffer the same fate. And your child, wonderful as she may be, is not experienced enough to make that kind of seasoned judgement."

Miirym raises a wing to stop Arthur. <I'll take it into consideration. But it has to be at my hand.>

Lind stared at the arrogant little dragon.

"You aren't in the position to "take things into consideration". You don't have that authority.

This is a team. You may have the backing of one of the more experienced members, but you still have to make your own way. Get yourself elected as a party leader someday, if you want - but until that day, you do not have the kind of authority."

<Fine. I already promised consideration, but I will accede to Karie's order as party leader. But it will be me that ends this, no matter the decision made. On that, I will not be swayed. I do have the right to that much.>

"Again, you don't have the authority to ever-so-graciously "consider" our flat-out telling you that's not your place."

He shook his head. "I'd vote for it being Karie who decides "who ends this" - but that wouldn't really be fair on her..." He shook his head again, and returned to the battle.

Arthur pauses in consideration, when he sees his opening. "Get Arx up--I can guarantee this battle ends, right now." He carefully switches his weapons, double-checking his plan--but it is solid. "If Karie plays a Lucky Chant, then Thormanil or Karie uses a Jinxy Juice on the Left Wing, I can take him down in one solid hit that's almost guaranteed to hit--the poison will finish him off. We just need someone to get Arx and Karie healed, and anyone else who'd be taking the Free Hits."

Arthur attacks the Left Wing from the Front Row with his Spider Leg Spear. Miirym does nothing in the Back Row.

"On it." Lind steadied his shield, and waited for the blow.

OoC: If Arthur fails, Lind uses Severa Slasher against the Left Rapturewings from the Back Row. If he succeeds, he uses a Grand Potion on whoever Arthur or Karie directs him to.

[Kintobor]

This is not about your wonder child's feelings. This is about saving Eubric from imminent destruction - and ultimately, deciding what is to be done so other cities don't suffer the same fate. And your child, wonderful as she may be, is not experienced enough to make that kind of seasoned judgement."

Lind stared at the arrogant little dragon.

"You aren't in the position to "take things into consideration". You don't have that authority.

"Again, you don't have the authority to ever-so-graciously "consider" our flat-out telling you that's not your place."

He shook his head. "I'd vote for it being Karie who decides "who ends this" - but that wouldn't really be fair on her..." He shook his head again, and returned to the battle.

Karie looked at Lind with a loss for words. For once, she simply gave him a hopeful look and nodded her head. She looked genuinely impressed behind her battle-weary eyes.

"Right, well, let's get this over with." She calmly exclaimed.

Karie tosses a Phoenix Essence Arx's way from the back row. She then tosses a Jinx Juice at the Left Wing from the back row.

Masson uses a Grand Potion on Karie from the back row.

Gabriel uses a grand potion on Jinnipher from the back row.

[swils]

Karie should use the Jinxy Juice (or Phoenix essence) then play the lucky chant, I'll handle the other consumable

[Asphalt]

Enough of this Gods Blasted Posturing. This is no Lordling's boar hunt where there is a kill to be claimed. I came late to this team, but a team we are meant to be. We must fight as ONE if we are to prevail. We have all fallen to the claws of this Demigod. We all know his power, and we are learning his history. We have nearly triumphed, but this derision will leave us vulnerable. Focus your Minds, Your Wills, and Your Blades to the task at hand. No one being here has the right, the power, or the privilege to claim this fight as their own. We all have a stake in this conflict, be it for love of country, for personal glory, for want of power, or new found familial obligation, we all wish to see Immortals fall. It matters not from where the killing stroke falls, it matters only that it does fall. We must make the city and all of its people safe again.

[Endgame]

Gabriel shakes his head. He stays moving, watching the sky for the lightning bolt that could claim his, or Jinnipher's, Masson's, or anyone else's life. He reaches through his things, trying to dig up a grand potion.

"...You're making all the same mistakes as your grandfather."

Ikarus sadly nods. He pauses.

"We all only wanted the best for the world. I should not have let it come to this."

[JimBee]

Jinnipher simply shrugged, smirked, and drew her blade. "This blade was given to me for a reason. I will see it's purpose through to the end regardless of your relations to the high and mighty lizard."

With Beheader, Jinnipher strikes the Left Claw in the front row.

[Flipz]

Karie should use the Jinxy Juice (or Phoenix essence) then play the lucky chant, I'll handle the other consumable

OOC: Karie's out of Ether. Also, running the numbers, I'm not sure we can handle the Free Hits unless Siercon throws his Cataclysm Bomb as well, that will deal 3600 damage total and allow my attack to finish him off even without poison. Also, Endgame, are the claws Stunned despite their immunity by last Round's Special?

Gabriel shakes his head. He stays moving, watching the sky for the lightning bolt that could claim his, or Jinnipher's, Masson's, or anyone else's life. He reaches through his things, trying to dig up a grand potion.

"...You're making all the same mistakes as your grandfather."

Ikarus sadly nods. He pauses.

"We all only wanted the best for the world. I should not have let it come to this."

"Then stop," Arthur replies Diplomatically. "You have had that power since the beginning. You've simply refused to use it."

<He can't. This is his destiny. From the moment he made his ill-advised deal, I have been the price he was destined to pay. He could not stop himself any more than I could stop being a Dragon.>

"...that's not how destiny works, Miirym."

<If you say so,> she replies dismissively.

Arthur frowns at the rebellious reptile. "We're going to have to have a serious talk once we get home."

Jinnipher simply shrugged, smirked, and drew her blade. "This blade was given to me for a reason. I will see it's purpose through to the end regardless of your relations to the high and mighty lizard."

With Beheader, Jinnipher strikes the Left Claw in the front row.

"...If we get home," he amends with a mutter, a wary eye on the psychopathic elf and her shield-sundering sword. "Whatever your 'purpose' is, Jinnipher, it had better not involve Miirym, got it? Touch her, and it will be your life, Veterans and spells be damned. However...mistaken she might be, she's still my little girl, and I will protect her."

Miirym snorts again, not sure whether to be irritated or bemused by her guardian. She deliberately looks away from Jinnipher as she addresses the elf. <You were given a blade. I was given my life. Somehow I doubt those claims are even.>

Will you please stop making things worse?? Rather than voicing the argument--time enough for that at home--Arthur devotes his energy to the solemn strike he is about to launch.

[Asphalt]

Arthur, I fear for your daughter should she continue down this Path.

[JimBee]

"...If we get home," he amends with a mutter, a wary eye on the psychopathic elf and her shield-sundering sword. "Whatever your 'purpose' is, Jinnipher, it had better not involve Miirym, got it? Touch her, and it will be your life, Veterans and spells be damned. However...mistaken she might be, she's still my little girl, and I will protect her."

Miirym snorts again, not sure whether to be irritated or bemused by her guardian. She deliberately looks away from Jinnipher as she addresses the elf. <You were given a blade. I was given my life. Somehow I doubt those claims are even.>

Will you please stop making things worse?? Rather than voicing the argument--time enough for that at home--Arthur devotes his energy to the solemn strike he is about to launch.

Jinnipher scoffs. "My intention was never to harm the little lizard. Just keep it out of my way."

[swils]

OOC: Whoops, didn't catch that. Blame mobile.

Arx recovers in the back row while Thormanil repeats his attack.

[Endgame]

"...No matter the outcome of this fight, there will be no more judgments after this. I grow weary. But Eubric remains doomed. And thus the Storm stays."

Edited August 10, 2016 by Endgame

[Asphalt]

One last chance to flaunt your power and your right of judgment, is that it Dragon. You meet your fate and like a child, break the toys you want no one else to play with.

[Endgame]

"Believe what you will. Stop me, you are the keepers of your own future. It will be hard to remain ignorant forever when true armageddon is knocking on your door."

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon repeats

OOC: sry for the short reply, moving on Monday O.o
