Heroica RPG - Quest #147: Judgment Day

Asphalt · July 18, 2016

Gods willing, let it be done.

Vindsval places his fleshy hand on Thormanil's head, and begins a Prayer of Healing.

Endgame · July 19, 2016

"Such confidence, Vindsval. I can see the future, and even I must not be so presumptious.

I did foresee the possibility of this battle, Jinnipher. There are many combinations of who may live and who may die, depending on who reigns victorious. But as I said, there are but two paths for the city of Eubric. I win, and it is erased. If you defeat me... The storm is far too powerful a thing to have existent without a master. To let it run wild would be a disaster. Thus, should I lose consciousness, the storm ceases. So which will it be? Will your city be sent to oblivion, or shall the Father of Dragons and his storm be subdued?"

Immortalis lets loose a deep sigh, clenching his claws into a fist. He bows his head lower, eyes downcast, that simple sound betraying aeons of exhaustion. The pitter patter of rain comes down from a seemingly clear sky. A veil of dark clouds unfurls, the beautiful skies of Eschaton quickly morphing to resemble that of Eubric's. Darkness surrounds the heroes as Immortalis beckons the storm back to its home realm. Electricity coursing through his veins, Immortalis turns to face his challengers.

He is silent for a moment. Only the pitter patter of rain - now a roaring downpour - and the crackle of lightning and electricity can be heard. Finally, the dragon speaks.

"Many champions have come and gone. All of them struggled and toiled to make it where you stand now. All of them perished in this garden, a field of my memories. And all of them wanted the exact same thing: to undo my verdict. You wish to carry the future in your own hands? Then prove to me, heroes. Prove to me you are strong enough to bear its burden!"

It was time to face The Father of Dragons!

Immortalis, Father Of Dragons, Level 200 Ancient

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

HP: 50,000/50,000

SP: 25

Specials:

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

Roar of Time: Immortalis unleashes a roar so strong that it can rend any armor. Three random heroes are reduced to 1 HP and lose all of their positive effects.

Final Verdict: Immortalis deals 250 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.

OOC: Arthur should be Encouraged, and I don't recall him using the Phoenix Incense he had in his Duplovian Swift Halberd's Hollow Blade? Also, "Bleeding, Poison, Bleeding, and Fragile"? Was one of those "Bleeding"s supposed to be Burning? Also, if Confused (say, from Noxious Venom and/or splattering Noxious Venom, hint hint Thormy :wink: ) tricks part of Immortalis into Electrocuting himself, would that fall under the same lack of immunity?

Miirym makes Arthur Lucky. Arthur attacks Immortalis with his Gladiator Trident from the Back Row. If given a second action, he repeats; if Miirym successfully made Arthur Lucky, she tries to make Siercon Lucky, otherwise she repeats.

Lind Whisperer · July 19, 2016

OoC: Does Immune to/Absorbs Electricity have any effect on Electrocution? And is

Null Beam: The Immortalis Stormpiercer shoots a beam of electrictiy at the hero who rolled Special Damage, doing 120 damage and nullifying their positive effects.

an Electric-element attack?

Lind swaps out his Skull Shield for his Plasma Shield. For his first action, (If it is not already Fragile), he attacks Immortalis Stormpiercer with Gladius from the Back Row. If Immortalis Stormpiercer is Fragile, he attacks it with Severa Slasher from the Back Row.

If he has a second action(and Fragile did not apply), he repeats with Gladius from the Back Row. If it is Fragile, he attacks it with Severa Slasher from the Back Row.

Endgame · July 19, 2016

QM Note: Yep, second bleeding is supposed to burning (although the exemption applies to all gradual damage effects.)

Also, attacks that are purely Immortalis using lightning (e.g. Wrath Of The Skies) were all supposed to be lightning elemental. Null Beam and Lightning Blast have been adjusted to do Electrical-elemental damage, because I forgot the tags the first time around.

"We need to spread our attacks out! Make sure every part of Immortalis is covered, or we're going to be biting the dust!

"I'm finally fighting in a real battle..."

The Black Knight's eyes were slightly misty.

"Get your head in the game, Lind! You've been in real battles before this, and I need you to put your experience from those fights into this one!

Lind, I'll try my best to set you up, give me a second!"

Karie casts Fragile on the Storm Piercer, then plays a Rapid March.

if made lucky by miirym.

Action 1: Siercon attacks rapture wings A from the back row with svens dagger (etherial opal)

Action 2: If action one is successful, Siercon does the same switching to wings B, otherwise he repeats.

If not lucky

Action 1: throws muddy bomb

Also, if Confused (say, from Noxious Venom and/or splattering Noxious Venom, hint hint Thormy )

QM Note: I wish to clarify something about the Splattering Venom, before the next battle: It's meant to only synergize with the damage poison spurts out - in other words, if you apply a venom that gives your weapon Poison 5/Blindness, and apply Splattering Venom, only the poison 5 will splatter.

I'm not seeing the two Splattering Venoms that I bought, actually. Should be at 1799 gold with two of them.

Arx attacks the Tail, back row.

Thormanil swaps the Tin Greaves for his Winged Sandals (+a bunch of immunities, -Tin multiplier)

Flipz · July 20, 2016

OOC: Yeah, Confused doesn't splatter, but by splattering Poisoned across all body parts we massively increase the damage over time, which is the best way to get his health down.

Asphalt · July 20, 2016

Ooc:get that applied and you can rely on vindsval's contribution.

Flipz · July 21, 2016

OOC: Bonus points for putting it on a dual-strike weapon that can splash the poison twice per successful hit. :wink:

swils · July 21, 2016

OOC: that's the plan, but I'd rather get my lightning protection on since there's a lot of potential AoE. I suppose I should submit actions for hastened...

If hastened, Arx pauses, while Thormanil applies Splattering Venom to Shishkebab.

Flipz · July 22, 2016

Arthur bounces slightly on his heels, eager for the rush of battle to distract from the tragedy that already had and would continue to unfold. Above him, unbeknownst to the Dragoon, Miirym's calm circling belies the same desire, merely better hidden. The Dragon notes her adoptive father's mild lack of composure. Like father, like daughter, she muses to herself as she continues to focus her will.

The final battle versus the father of dragons begun. Karie manages to get her voice to carry over the roaring winds, although Immortalis quickly silences her by quickly demonstrating his might. Spited by Arthur's assault, the sky opens up, and lightning ravages the battlefield. The party tears into the dragon, but Immortalis whips his tail around, knocking out Lind and wounding Jinnipher. Masson taps into his last reserve of strength and deals a massive blow to the dragon, only to find one of the elder dragon's wing scales impaled in his shoulder.

"A fine start. Keep it up."

Immortalis, Father Of Dragons, Level 200 Electric *Bleeding 5!*

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

HP: 46,392/50,000

SP: -125

Specials:

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

Roar of Time: Immortalis unleashes a roar so strong that it can rend any armor. Three random heroes are reduced to 1 HP and lose all of their positive effects.

Final Verdict: Immortalis deals 250 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.
