Heroica RPG - Quest #159: An Unexpected Return - Hovels

[Alfadas]

Torald straightens his back and lets out a big sigh. If it must come to this, so be it. He downs a mead and tries to Doom the enemy, back row. 

Skuld heals anyone who gets injured, otherwise she does nothing, back row.

WBD why is their so many ??? I would think they are connected to the item(s) drop(s) it seems natural to me at least.

 

QM Note: They represent the Passive Specials which will get revealed as the Party triggers them.

[Palathadric]

I equip the Slimy Sword and attack from the back row.

"I don't think we can win this."

Edited March 24, 2018 by Palathadric

[Zepher]

Noting the young Paladin’s concern Boomingham grins and slaps him on the shoulder. “What’s got you worried? She’s only an original Veteran who should be dead. What’s there to be scared of?”

OoC: I guess I usually travel with higher level parties - are we genuinely nervous about the battle? Open to suggestions! I won’t cry if we don’t get a chance to fight her right now.

[Palathadric]

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I do think we will have a very hard time winning this.

[Khorne]

OoC: I don't know if we can take this. It's been a while playing Heroica and can't remember fighting an enemy like this before. But let's try anyway, we can still run if needed.

Eric eyed Lady Luck, measuring up his opponent. She seemed incredibly light on her feet and there was something about her that belied incredible nimbleness. This wasn't going to be easy. The Nord cracked his neck and then attacked Lady Luck from the front row, using Conspirator.

[Alfadas]

Maybe we won't have to kill her, just show her we are strong enough? plus if I doom her, we just have to survive 3 turns and she is dead. 

[Waterbrick Down]

The heroes spread out and surround the Founder, in a quick succession of swings and cleaves, Boomingham and Eric both manage to bring their blades down on the nimble fighter as Ezeran momentarily stuns her saving Petaldan from a rather nasty strike. Torald utters a spell in the language of the void, but Lady luck manages to dodge out of the way. Elphaba quickly steps out of reach as the Founder's daggers go whizzing past her ear. Germ munches on a mushroom and feels light on his feet but at the same time strangely vulnerable, the thought registers for only a moment before four daggers sink into his back downing the black knight in an instant.


"Is this really the best you've got?"

Party Leader, please determine the battle

[Alfadas]

Torald tries again to Doom Lady Luck, back row. 

Skuld heals any wounded ally.  As suggested, Skuld attacks Lady Luck, Front row

if she keeps one-shotting people... this might be tough. 

Edited March 29, 2018 by Alfadas

[Palathadric]

I attack from the Front Row encouraged by the generally positive results of the last round.

[Khorne]

Eric swears an Oath of Retribution against Lady Luck and uses a Mead on himself.

[Zepher]

Boomingham swears an oath of Retribution against Lady Luck and continues his attack. Elphaba repeats her attack.

"Keep it up," he says as he stares at the Demon Germ. "She's blind for the moment, at least."

Same Battle Order

OoC: Yeah, looks like a tough battle actually but we should keep up the attack for at least this round - she's blind and sealed. If we have to run after this we can, but there's no point wasting the advantage and hopefully she'll be weakened if we take her on again down the line.

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran casts a fire spell from the back row.

[Zepher]

OoC: Khrone and Alf if you see this before the round starts have Eric and Skuld attack - we should press this advantage.

[Alfadas]

22 minutes ago, Zepher said:

OoC: Khrone and Alf if you see this before the round starts have Eric and Skuld attack - we should press this advantage.

Aye, changed. 

[Palathadric]

By the way, while Elphaba is with us, let me mention that I think it's entirely unfair that she doesn't have a Healing Staff along...plus some to hand out.

[Waterbrick Down]

Torald, try as he may, still can't manage to pull of the hex correctly as Ezeran steps in and blasts the founder with a fireball to the face. Petaldan and Boomingham land tremendous strikes on Lady Luck sending her staggering. Eric takes the opportunity to down a mead as Elphaba swings and misses the founder. Skuld attempts to land a hit, but swiftly retreats as more daggers thrown wildly about barely miss hitting her.

Party Leader, please determine the battle order. Everyone else, please state your action and the row from which you are performing it.

[Zepher]

OoC: Since my hits landed she should have a bit less health. Round 1 she should have been poisoned by 10 and bleeding by 10. Added to fragile, she should have lost 40 health that round. This round I hit again, adding another 20 total bleeding/poison damage. Again with fragile, she should have taken 80 damage at the end of the round. So she should be down 120 health, but with immunity to both bleeding and poison.

Boomingham watches with trepidation as Lady Luck's eyes grow focused again. "Alright, folks, decision time. We cutting and running, or bringing this lady down? You know which way I'm leaning, but..." his eyes stray from Eric to the younger members of the party and the one already unconscious body.

[Palathadric]

"I..." I hesitate for just a second. "I follow you, captain. I will swing my sword until you tell me to do otherwise."

QM Note: You are correct, fixed.

[Alfadas]

Torald messes around with the Tome a bit. Why won't you work, dammit, He mumbles. He tries to Doom the Lady, once again, back row. Screw it, Torald casts a Water bolt at Lady Luck.

Skuld heals whomever gets injured, back row.  Attacks Lady Luck, front row

May I ask why Ezeran fires a fireball? Wouldn't an attack with the Amethyst (dark) be more effective?

I'm just wondering how doomed would work on her...would she die before she is immunized? I suppose so...or?

QM Note: Doomed takes 3 rounds to take effect, she would become immune before it finished.

Ahh, well. Then I guess that's useless. Okay cool.

“My concern is that once things start to go south, they’re likely to go south fast. The longer we fight her the bigger the hill we have to climb grows. Still, press the advantage while we can.” Boomingham glances at Petaldan as he drags his shield out of his pack and holds it in front of him. “I think you and I are going to get roughed up a bit. You ready for that?”

Boomingham and Elphaba repeat their attacks.
