Heroica: Glory Amongst The Stars - Mission #5: Slay Ride

[Duvors]

OoC: Ronin will move to C3 and attack Hurler A.

[Waterbrick Down]

MM Note: I'll autorun the next round with everyone moving to attack the Shaman, unless you were wanting to try something else @Duvors

The heroes surround the second to last monger with attacks from all sides and the creature falls to solid hits from Ronin, Aysu, and Decker. Enson heals Ronin before advancing on the Shaman as Polaris calls down a thunder strike upon the monster with shocking power. The Shaman takes a moment to meditate, hoping that it could survive the next few seconds.

Round 4
Ronin moves to C3
Ronin attacks Glacier Monger Hurler A - (5,5,+2) 4 Successes vs. (6,4) 2 Success = 2 Damage
Aysu vs. Glacier Monger Hurler B - (5,2,1, +2) 3 Successes vs. (6,3) 1 Successes = 2 Damage
Enson casts Sustaining Healing on Ronin - (6,5,+1) 3 Successes = 3 Vitality Restored (-1 Spirit)
Enson moves to F2
Polaris moves to F5
Polaris casts Elemental Bolt at Glacier Monger Shaman - (6) 1 Success = 1 Damage (-1 Spirit)
Decker moves to E4
Decker vs. Glacier Monger Hurler A - (5, +2) 2 Successes vs. (5,5) 2 Successes = 1 Damage, KO'd

Glacier Monger Shaman Meditates - (4,2,6) 2 Successes = 2 Spirit Restored

"Graahg!!!"

"Fine, I'll speak your language."
And with those words Enson took in a deep breath and howled in the shaman's face.

Enson will make an Intimidation check in the hopes of getting the Shaman to give up.

[Waterbrick Down]

Enson Intimidation Proficiency vs. Glacier Monger Intimidation Proficiency - (2,5,2) 1 Success vs. (5,4,1) 2 Successes

The creature roars back at Enson unflustered and now even more angered. Ronin rushes forward to encourage the Quo'ri to press onward as Aysu fires a debilitating shot into the monster. With a final swing of his hammer, Enson brings a crushing blow down on the monger as it sinks to its knees in the snow and then topples over dead.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS (+1 Character Point to all players)

Round 5
Ronin moves to E2
Ronin Rally's Enson - +3 Dice to Enson's next Offensive Combat Check
Aysu moves to F4
Aysu vs. Glacier Monger Shaman - (4,3,6, +2) 4 Successes vs. (6,4) 2 Successes = 2 Damage
Enson vs. Glacier Monger Shaman - (5,5,1,5,+1) 4 Successes vs. (4,1) 1 Success = 3 Damage

"Phew. Next plume of smoke, I say we steer clear!" Aysu checked her rifle and put it back over her shoulder. "At least planetside you don't havfta worry about your ship getting holed and leaking atmosphere."

I think so, thanks to Enson. Taking out the Field Rations. If no one else desperately wants this, I am going to eats this... Part of me thinks the salvagers should look at the old speeder bike. Those "mongers" don't look like the type to use or even fix a speeder bike properly... Should we put out the fires or just leave it alone? 

If their is nothing else to do, I am going to try and do some meditation until we get to the next area.

@Waterbrick Down Shouldn't the Intimidation attempt have used my action?

"Oh just..." Enson tried to speak, but his voice was so hoarse that he could barely get the words out.  Holding up a hand to indicate he wasn't finished, he reached into his pocket, withdrew a canteen, and took a quick swig from it.  With a cough he replaced the item and said "Just leave it.  There's no-one here for it to harm and it'll burn itself out eventually."  Taking a moment to assess the situation, he sighed and made his way back to the sled.  Upon reaching it he sat down cross-legged in the vehicle and began to meditate.

"Hey, woah, don't put out that fire yet." Decker says, walking over and holding out his hands to the burning wreckage. It was radiating sweet, sweet warmth. "Ah, toasty, much better."

"I'm ready to leave when you folks are, aye."

"Still feels off though, usually mongers are less organized and I don't think I've ever seen one lay out an ambush like this... where did you say we should be heading to next?"

Enson waved his hand.  "I've heard of spiders that use the husks of their prey as puppets to lure in more victims.  This isn't too different, and quite frankly the addition of the crashed speeder isn't that out of place.  They make weapons - not tools, weapons - and wear clothes.  They're clearly more intelligent then I think you're giving them credit for."
He turned to face Sigrún.  "Well," he said, "I seem to remember we were heading for the pass, unless this is it.  In that case I'd actually like to swing by the lake briefly."

[Peppermint_M]

"I'm good to go wherever. Exploring places is interesting, part of why I joined Heroica!" Aysu watched the others, she wasn't sure why the cold was not too much of a bother for her. Maybe it was living in a ship for most of her life? Or maybe temperature changes didn't matter.

"Yep, this be the Pass. We can continue on through and then swing south across the northern shore of the lake."

The snow begins falling rather heavily as the party loads back onto the sled. Enson and Polaris take a few moments to meditate as the Chimeran chows down on some of her Field Rations. Hours pass as the wyrms pull doggedly onward the white landscape zooming past. Here and there trees intersperse the landscape, but for the most part the hills roll on and on. Eventually Sigrún turns the sled southward.

"So tell me heroes, what were you thinking rushing down there? How do I know you aren't going to get us into any more trouble?"

"So tell me heroes, what were you thinking rushing down there? How do I know you aren't going to get us into any more trouble?"

What? Maybe it is because I been in similar situation and want to repay back the "cosmos" if you will. And probably will do something like it again, no matter what the danger could be. Call it being trained with military thinking leaving no one behind. Plus, imagine if that was you. Would you want some one to ignore you lying somewhere hurt just because it might be some dumb trap? If you really don't like any of this, maybe you should turn around and head back to your little village and we will get some one else to help us. 

[Peppermint_M]

"I didn't want the team to get hurt because I held back from battle. It looked like a trap to me, but if others put themselves at risk, I will help them back." Aysu shrugged. "The first time I went on a mission, we were able to talk to and help someone. Now we were lured into danger. It is a lesson learned."

"I would have to worry about lying there hurt, because I wouldn't get myself in that sort of situation in the first place. You paid me to help you stay alive out here, I can only do that as much as you trust me. There are worse things that mongers out here, let me tell you."

"It's a valiant spirit, but courage means nothing if your dead in the snow with monger spears in your back. Perhaps next time you and your companions can evaluate the situation next time. It only takes a few moments to spot the clues for a dangerous situation."

[Duvors]

"If anyone here is at fault, it would be me.  I guessed it might be an ambush, but I failed to act on that properly.  In future I think it would be best to follow your advice and check beforehand, and I certainly should have asked my companions to take up defensive positions instead of hanging back."

No one plans on getting hurt but it happens. You think I planned on stepping on a landmine and have my right leg get turned into some type of crystal? No I didn't, but it happened. And random stuff happens to creatures all the time... Maybe next time just say it could be a trap instead of saying "something funny here". 

Basically talking to the rest of the party members. I am starting to think this might be the wrong person for this mission...

"Then boy, it's a miracle you've made it this far."

After a while the sled steers up to the northern shore of the lake. Jagged pillars of stone jut out of the icy frozen landscape before them. Ice flows slowly meander across the lake cracking and groaning as they slide past one another.

"Huh, usually it's completely frozen over this time of the cycle, something must be busting parts of it up. We can get across those flows, we'll just need to make sure we distribute our weight appropriately."

Ice Flow Puzzle
In order to continue onward the party must proceed from the north east corner of the map, to the south west corner. Due to the weight of the party, not everyone can be on the same ice flow at the same time. Thus an alternating path between ice flows must be plotted. Send your path to me via PM, either as a picture, or a set of steps. Cardinal direction movements only (N,S,E,W), no diagonals. Everyone with a correct answer will receive a character point. You cannot cross through the rocky peaks. Let me know if the picture is not clear and you're unsure if squares are part of the same ice flow or if you have any other questions.

"Then boy, it's a miracle you've made it this far."

Giving Decker a see what I was talking about look. Right...

After a while the sled steers up to the northern shore of the lake. Jagged pillars of stone jut out of the icy frozen landscape before them. Ice flows slowly meander across the lake cracking and groaning as they slide past one another.


"Huh, usually it's completely frozen over this time of the cycle, something must be busting parts of it up. We can get across those flows, we'll just need to make sure we distribute our weight appropriately."

  

Ice Flow Puzzle
In order to continue onward the party must proceed from the north east corner of the map, to the south west corner. Due to the weight of the party, not everyone can be on the same ice flow at the same time. Thus an alternating path between ice flows must be plotted. Send your path to me via PM, either as a picture, or a set of steps. Cardinal direction movements only (N,S,E,W), no diagonals. Everyone with a correct answer will receive a character point. You cannot cross through the rocky peaks. Let me know if the picture is not clear and you're unsure if squares are part of the same ice flow or if you have any other questions.

You mean besides drowning? MILES, I hope your boosters are working, probably we will be hovering over most of this thing. 

/// We are about to find out. 

OoC:

I guess what the what the what? I am not seeing what you are talking about "ice flow"? Right now from my point of view my character is just going to jump over / on stuff.

MM Note: You are in the North East Corner. You need to jump from square to square (4x4) and get to the South West Corner. Some of the 4x4 plates are connected to each other constituting an ice flow (i.e. iceberg). Your path can't be from one square to another one that's connected to it because of the weight of the party, so you have to alternate from one iceberg to another iceberg.

Should I go first since MILES and me are the heaviest? Then when we are near the other side someone else can start. 

Ok Sigrun, you are spouse to be the expert here you got any advice for this ice. 

Polaris starts to check the ice for any instability and how thick it might be. 

OoC:

 

I guess I am not seeing the point to this, if nothing is moving and we can not tell ware the other players are located. Why are we not just going one at a time? This doesn't seem like one of your typical puzzles Water Brick Down.

Since I am not getting it I will just put my path here in the spoiler section. I go south four times (I should be on the big iceberg in the middle). I stay on it moving three "places" west then turning south moving three "places". Turn again to the west and go four "spots" and I should be at the exit.

Edit - Is that to simple of a solution? Do I need to at least make twenty moves to get it right?
