Heroica RPG - Quest#15: Hoisting Down the Jolly Roger

[JimBee]

"Erdathcath... we've already explored this floor fully, besides the areas behind locked doors. We can go upstairs, downstairs, or fight the toughest pirates that we've encountered already."

"As I've already said, I think we should explore more of the ground floor, past the dining hall."

[ADHO15]

"I concur. I always find it best to be fully aware of my surroundings before deciding on the best course of action. Let us fill in the unknown areas of the map, so to speak. Hopefully then we shall be able to identify where to go from there."

[Sandy]

OoC: Here's the area you've covered downstairs. The crossed off enemies are the ones that you have defeated.

[ADHO15]

"I propose that we fight the group of pirates guarding the centre door."

[Khorne]

"Yeah, we'll go back down and fight the group guarding the door. Then we can search the rest of the ground level for keys and whatnot."

[JimBee]

"Agreed. They may even hold the keys we're looking for."

Hybros wondered if the pirates had felt wrongly invaded by the heroes. They had it coming, by stealing from everyone, but did that make them so different from anyone else in Eubric? It seemed that every house was trying to out do their rivals. The heroes, it seemed, were often asked to compete against other houses. So was Heroica actually doing good, or was it just fueling the fire?

[The_Customizer]

Yeah, I agree, we should continue searching down there. Though I doubt they would just leave the keys laying around somewhere....

[Sandy]

Confidently the party approaches their chosen group of pirates. This lot is lead by a ghastly undead pirate who is impervious to normal attacks.

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

[JimBee]

"I will attack the Pirate Sniper from the front row with Zoot's Reaper."

"I suggest that Maurice and Ad-Hoh focus on the Zombie, since they're the only ones who can damage it. I have two remedies if you happen to encounter its special."

[The_Customizer]

I shall attack the Filthy Monkey from the Back Row.

Also, are bombs able to destroy the zombie?

[Sandy]

Also, are bombs able to destroy the zombie?

OoC: The undead can be damaged by elemental attacks and healing, so all spells, bombs and weapons with elemental affinity will work.

[ADHO15]

Ad-Hoh attacks the Pirate Zombie from the back row with Darkness.

[Khorne]

Abhorred by the resurrected zombie warrior, Eric's resolve strengthened to rip this party of pirates to shreds. The Dead should not be disturbed, let them rest in the cold care of lady Helvetia. Only she can deem those worthy of eternal life and grant them the Undeath. Disturbance and resurrection of the dead by necromancers is heinous and vile deed and should be ended. Eric unsheathed his weapons and prepared to assault the pirates, keeping both Godricsleif and Grom and the ready.

Eric will attack Pirate Ruffian from the front row, using Twin Axe.

Battle Order:

Hybros

Eric

Christopher

Ad-Hoh

Erdathcath

Maurice (best is if you attack the zombie, too. Your light spells will do extra damage)

[Fred Fred Burger]

I will attack the Filthy Beast from the front row, Best if we finish off the weakest target first.

[Sandy]
