Heroica: Glory Amongst The Stars - Mission #1: Mercenaries On the Boreal Express

[Waterbrick Down]

Round 4
Zaria Uses a Plasma Potion - 6 = 6 HP Restored
Soren moves to B3
Soren rallies Yelana - 2 Dice added to next Attack
Yelana vs. Abam - (1, 5, 6, +2) 4 Successes vs. (3, 1) 0 Successes = 4 Damage, Knocked Out

Stowaway Maba moves to D1
Stowaway Maba vs Yelana - (6, 2, +1) 2 Successes vs (4, 1, 6) 2 Successes =  0 Damage
Zaria vs Maba (Opportunistic Attack) - (5, 5, +1) 3 Successes (1, 5) 1 Success = 2 Damage

Zaria steadies herself with a potion as Soren moves into position to encourage Yelana. The markswoman's shot flies true and she disables one of the heads of the Tvilgard. Maba enraged at his unconcious brother charges forward and fires off a shot that goes wide. Zaria sensing an opening swings with her sword and scores a hit on the other half of the stowaway.

Yelana lowered her voice. 
"Alright, I've got an idea. Zaria, grab that pack from the middle shelf and drop it on Maba - That should disorient him for a sec. I'll see if I can get him to stand down." 
Resting her rifle on her shoulder, Yelana addressed the conscious half of the Tvilgard. 
"Enough's enough, Maba; Abam's dead, so this is your last chance - Stand down." 
 

 

OoC: 

Spoiler

This is a Deception check, since Abam is actually still alive (Yelana just stunned him).

Soren smirks. The stowaway had ran directly into his range. With a breath of icy focus, Soren fires at Maba.

[Kintobor]

Zaria takes another swipe at Maba. She pivots on her foot, following her attacker into the aisle.

 

[Waterbrick Down]

Round 5
Zaria vs. Maba - (2, 1, +1) 1 Success vs. (6, 3) 1 Success = 0 Damage
Soren vs. Maba - (4, +1) 2 Successes vs (1, 1) 0 Successes = 2 Damage
Yelana Deception Check (DC 5) - (5, 1, 4, 1) 2 Successes

Stowaway Maba moves to C2
Stowaway Maba vs. Zaria - (3, 5, +1, -2) 0 Successes vs (5, 4) 2 Successes = 0 Damage

Zaria and Soren strike at the Tvilgard with some success, wounding the stowaway even more. Yelana tries to convince Maba his other half has bit the dust.

"You don't think I can tell when he's dead? We share the same body."

Maba moves to a more aggressive position, but fails to injure Zaria at such close range.

Zaria hustles to move into C3, and then to B2 to put herself between Maba and her allies. She then strikes Maba with her khopesh, looking to bring the fight to a close.

"You will need get through me before you even consider harming them!"

[The Legonater]

Soren pops behind cover to fire an icy blast into the stowaway’s face.

What-? No. I have a practically guaranteed hit on this thing, meaning we just need to hit it once more. Between you and Zaria, that should more than cover it.

[Waterbrick Down]

Round 6
Zaria moves to B2
Zaria vs. Maba - (3, 2, +1) 1 Success vs. (5, 3) 1 Success = 0 Damage
Soren casts Elemental Evocation - (4) 1 Success = 1 Damage (-1 Spirit)
Yelana vs. Maba - (6, +2, -2) 1 Success vs. (6, 4) 2 Successes = 0 Damage

Stowaway Maba moves to E2
Zaria vs. Maba (Opportunistic Attack) - (4, 4, +1) 3 Success vs. (3, 3) 0 Success = 3 Damage
Stowaway Maba vs. Zaria

Quickly repositioning herself into a defensive position, Zaria interposes herself between the stowaway and her companions, swinging her khopesh threateningly. Soren releases the last of his magical reserves in an icy blast nearly downing the Tvilgard. Yelana tries to find an opening in the foray, but her shot goes wide as she attempts to avoid hitting her own companions. Maba attempts to roll away to setup a better shot with his rifle but Zaria catches him with the blade of her weapon removing his head.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

'You feeling a little more cooperative, now?

[Kintobor]

Zaria relaxes, straightening her posture and exhaling. She closes her eyes and levels her left hand to her face and raises her index finger, middle finger, and thumb, leaving the remaining two fingers squeezed into her palm. It almost looked like she was pointing finger guns towards the ceiling. She lowers her sword and begins to utter a prayer. "Varuth, Father of Wisdom, Companion in Travels, Shower of the Ways, deliver this wayward soul from this life and unto the next. Guide his spirit away from damnation and suffering, and to the place where all journey's end. Ro uk fouso. Be at peace."

Zaria lowers her left hand pulls out a cloth which she uses to wipe the blood off of her khopesh. She sheaths her sword and begins to distribute the dropped items.

Soren observes the prayer wordlessly, before catching the vibro dagger tossed to him. He takes a quick glance at it.

Neat, he said. It's unclear whether he's referring to the dagger or Zaria's sacrament. 

Just figured I would check - is the knife meant to be electric, or kinetic? I only ask because the FAQ has Vibro-Knife listed as a kinetic option.

Zaria turns to face Yelana, looking at her directly, her pensiveness giving way to an edge in her voice.

"Varuth has much to say about wayward travellers, Yelana. He speaks about how it is the duty of those more capable and able to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I considered Maba a threat as he moved in to attack you and Soren, so I acted. I considered him a threat should he be found by a member of the crew, or someone not as capable in combat as the three of us. I ended his life not to inflict cruelty on him, but to spare the passengers and crew of this train from a violent end. Do not mistake me for some traveller, as you referred to me as, and do not claim to understand my faith in Varuth when I doubt you have even opened the cover of His holy texts and scriptures!" Zaria ran her hand through her autumn red hair, frustrated. She took a moment to collect herself before crossing her arms and shaking her head. "Varuth is a god of wisdom, not pacifism. You must sometimes remove rowdy, violent guests for the safety of others."

For someone who fashions themselves a spy, you sure have a lot of hang-ups about getting your hands dirty. 

In any case, we should get back to our car and tell the attendant that things are taken care of.

Zaria spoke to Yelana in a hushed voice. "You had several opportunities to diffuse the situation. You did not have it under control." Zaria points to the place in her armour where Abam's dagger pierced her, near her armpit. The piercing wound may have been healed by a potion, but the blood stained hole in her clothing remained. "They were not making moves to defend themselves, they attacked me, one time nearly severely enough to potentially drop me." She took in a deep breath, frustrated. "We can talk about my faith later."

"I thought you managed to obtain the data from the key card?" Zaria whispered. "There is too much luggage in here to search while the attendant watches. Your stress is pushing you to rashness. Relax. We have time until we reach our destination."

Zaria turns to the attendant. "What my friend says is correct. I must ask you to fetch a bag, one big enough to fit a watermelon. I do not wish to distress you or anyone else, but I would hate for you to stumble across his severed head." Zaria motions to her healed wound. "He managed to nick me fairly well. I hate to imagine what he would do to you or any other passenger should you have found him instead of us."

Zaria ponders on the question longer than she'd like to admit before giving the only reasonable response. "I feel like that would be for the best.  As the individual responsible for killing the man, if need be, I will answer any questions they might have upon arriving. If you could get me the bag, I will place the severed head into it. I do not wish to cause you anymore undue stress than I already have. From there, I recommend placing the remains away from the stowaway if you could direct me in the location of someplace that could hold them. I believe the other stowaway should face justice, but I also believe it cruel to just leave a severed head next him for the remainder of the trip."
