Heroica RPG - Quest#2: Looking Through the Wares

[Khorne]

Yes, let's move on to Aisle 2.

Eric will receive the Venom.

Thanks !

[JimBee]

Well, those last two rounds weren't so great. Somehow we had the worst luck that time, especially with Rufindel going first and scoring Miracle, before we took damage. That's just our luck, though.

On to the second aisle, then.

Yeah, with hindsight I should have gone at the end. But then I probably wouldn't have achieved a miracle.

There's no way you could've known. I thought for sure we would've defeated those vermin right away.

[Khorne]

Indeed, the rats gave us a harder time than the guard dog did. Maybe the Shadeaux should start using rats instead of dogs to guard their warehouses .

[Masked Builder]

"Yes let's move onto aisle two."

Indeed, the rats gave us a harder time than the guard dog did. Maybe the Shadeaux should start using rats instead of dogs to guard their warehouses .

"Yes, but battling rats all the time would get a bit boring."

[Sandy]

The party rushes to search the second aisle, and fails to notice the tripwire that alarms two of the Shadeaux guards and a guard hound.

"Halt, intruders! Thieves will be dealt swift justice!" the other guard shouts. A battle ensues.

Party Leader, choose the order of action.

All of you, choose your targets and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone have acted.

[Khorne]

Eric grinned at the sight of fresh blood to be spilled. He gripped his sword tight once more and anointed the blade with venom. He opened the intricate metal clasp holding his heavy fur cloak and threw it off, it would only impede his movement during the coming battle.

Eric will attack Shadeaux Guard (Sword) from the front line.

[JimBee]

Hybros followed Eric's lead and took out his own bottle of Venom. He poured out the whole bottle onto his scythe, and stowed the glass container.

I will attack the Shadeaux Guard (Spear) from the front row.

I will attack the Shadeaux Guard (Spear) from the front row.

~Note: Using an item during battle takes one turn. You may not attack in the same turn.~

[JimBee]

Oh. In that case I will just attack the Spear Guard from the front row.

Is this okay?

[CMP]

Atramor quickly decides to attack the Shadeuex guard (Sword) on the front row, while saving the Bone for his next turn.

[Khorne]

~Note: Using an item during battle takes one turn. You may not attack in the same turn.~

Oh, okay. In that case, nevermind then .

Eric will attack Shadeaux Guard (Sword) from the front line (without venom).

[Rufus]

Battle Order:

Eric

Atramor

Hybros

Boomingham

Alexis

Rufindel

I shall attack the dog from the front row. Let's see if we can finish off both the dog and one soldier in one round - thus I'd suggest three attack Sword, one attack Spear, and two attack Dog.

[JimBee]

That sounds like a good plan to me, Rufindel.

Oh, and by the way, you may need to tell Boomingham what to do, as he seems a bit...er, absent-minded.

[Rufus]

That sounds like a good plan to me, Rufindel.

Oh, and by the way, you may need to tell Boomingham what to do, as he seems a bit...er, absent-minded.

Very well! I'll wait to hear what Alexis wishes to do first.

[Masked Builder]

"I shall attack the dog from the back row."

[Rufus]

Then I suggest Boomingham targets the Sword Guard from the Front Row (assuming he can't speak for himself).

[Sandy]

[Khorne]

Eric roars as blood gushes grom the enemies' wounds. He notices one guard dropping to his knees and falling on the ground due to Atramor's doing. Eric then focuses on the remaining guard, seeking to kill him.

Eric will attack Shadeaux Guard (Spear) from the front row.

[CMP]

Atramor pockets his gold (slightly stained with the guard's blood), then whirls the chain whip around, striking the Shadeaux guard from the front row again.

[Rufus]

Atramor, don't you still have a bone?

Battle Order:

Eric

Boomingham

Alexis

Atramor

Rufindel

Rufindel will bash the dog again, from the back row. Boomingham should attack the Guard from the Front Row. (Unless Alexis wants to attack the guard, in which case Boomingham should attack the dog.)

[Masked Builder]

"No, I'll attack the dog from the back row again."

[JimBee]

All I can do is watch as my allies battle... I feel so helpless... Hybros though to himself, lying paralyzed on the ground.

And shouldn't Atramor have more gold? His attack was pretty powerful, I'd think he'd have 15 gold...

[Sandy]

Results of Round Two of the Shadeaux Guards & Hound Battle:

Eric vs. Spear Guard - Special Damage

Boomingham vs. Spear Guard - Miss

>Alexis vs. Guard Hound - Shield

Atramor vs. Spear Guard - Miss

>Rufindel vs. Guard Hound - Miss

As the battle rages on, the remaining Shadeaux Guard manages to sneak behind Eric and Stun him, preventing him from acting in the next round. Lord Boomingham misses his attack on the guard, but Alexis' Tripleshot takes care of the Guard Hound with one arrow and causes 12 points of damage to the Shadeaux Guard, as two arrows hit him. Both Atramor and Rufindel miss as well.

One enemy remains, so the battle goes on.

Results of Round Three of the Shadeaux Guards & Hound Battle:

Hybros vs. Spear Guard - Shield

Boomingham vs. Spear Guard - Miss

>Alexis vs. Spear Guard - Hit

Atramor vs. Spear Guard - Damage

>Rufindel vs. Spear Guard - Damage

Hybros recovers from being stunned, and gets back at the Shadeaux Guard by Mugging him. Unfortunately the guard only has 1 health left, so Hybros gains only 1 gold from the kill.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

All party members gain a level of experience. The enemies drop one bone, two potions and 20 gold.

20 pieces of gold
