Heroica RPG - Quest #43: Protect My Brother

[Jebediahs]

OoC: Put me first in the next round and I'll get Johon up. For now, attack or heal.

Nur watched as the bomb he threw seemed to travel in slow motion...

[Dannylonglegs]

I'll heal Dak.

[Sandy]

Results of Round Eight of the Merry Women Battle:

>Dak uses Phoenix Essence on Sylph (Sylph: revived with full health)

>Nur uses Fire Bomb (Robina: 77 health-5 dmg=72 health; Alanna: 3 health-5 dmg=0 health)

>Sylph nurtures Dak - Nurture More (Dak: +29 health)

Robina Hooter - Free Hit vs. Dak (Dak: 30 health+12 SP-18 dmg=24 health)

After seeing two of their companions fall, Dak and Nur take drastic measures. Dak uses his only phoenix essence to bring Sylph back to his wits, while Nur throws a fire bomb, causing 5 damage to Robina and defeating Alanna. Sylph restores Dak back to full health, but Robina immediately shoots the black knight for 6 damage.

The party faces only Robina Hooter now.

Party Leader, post the order of action. Everybody, choose your actions and targets.

[Jebediahs]

"Back on your feet, my friend." En Sabah Nur uses a phoenix essence on Johon from the back row. "Who knew Hooters could be so much trouble."

[Dannylonglegs]

"Ok, let's finish our job and get back to the kids. We've wasted enough time and resources on these low-lives. Nur, you've got Johon; Dak, Johon take Robina down. I'll bring up the rear and finish her off if she's not already dead." Barks Sylph as he readies himself to whack Hooter from the front row.

Order: Nur, Dak, Johon, Sylph

[Bricksandparts]

Johon rushes forward to deliver one of the final blows to knock Robina out. Normal action.

[Sandy]

Results of Round Nine of the Merry Women Battle:

Nur uses Phoenix Essence on Johon (Johon: revived with full health)

Dak vs. Robina - Mortal Hit (Robina: 77 health-(25/2=13 dmg)=64 health)

Johon vs. Robina - Special Damage (Steal From the Rich - Nur: -29 gold)

Sylph vs. Robina - Critical Hit (64 health-(29/2=15 dmg)=49 health)

Nur revives Johon with one of his phoenix essences. Dak delivers a hit on Robina, causing 13 damage. Robina follows by stealing 29 gold from the richest party member, Nur. Sylph continues with a hit that deals 15 damage, but the merry woman leader just won't go down.

One enemy remains, so the rest of the battle will be played automatically.

[Dannylonglegs]

"You have got to be kidding me Johon. Stop dying! Nur, I don't know if you want to revive him or not. I would, but then again, it's your potion..." Sylph attacks Hooter first row.

Nur, Dak, Johon, Sylph

[Jebediahs]

"You have got to be kidding me Johon. Stop dying! Nur, I don't know if you want to revive him or not. I would, but then again, it's your potion..." Sylph attacks Hooter first row.

Nur, Dak, Johon, Sylph

Nods to the archer. "You're quite impressive." Nur's stare doesn't leave Robina. "Sylph, is Johon beyond the help of your druidic magic? Try to revive him first. If you should fail, then I will use a Phoenix Essence on Johon from the back row, else I attack Robina Hooter from the back row with my dagger. He can't learn from this combat experience if he's sleepin' and we need everyone at their strongest if we're to succeed in our quest."

[Sandy]

Results of Round Eleven of the Merry Women Battle:

Sylph vs. Robina - Aim (Robina: 7 health-(7/2=4 dmg)=3 health)

Nur uses Phoenix Essence on Johon (Johon: revived with full health)

Dak vs. Robina - Shield (Demon Within - Robina: 3 health-(45x2/2=45 dmg)=0 health; Dak: stunned)

Johon vs. Robina - Steal

Sylph aims his rod at Robina, but the 4 damage it causes is not quite enough to take her down. Nur revives Johon back to full health. Dak summons his inner darkness to finally take care of the remaining enemy.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

All party members gain half of a level. The enemies drop a Merry Bow, a Ranger's Quiver, a Quarterstaff, a Grand Potion, a Grand Tonic and a Lute.

The five Merry Women are left lying unconscious on the small forest glade, as the party dashes after the two boys. The path they had walked on leads to a fork, where a smaller path leads to the right. There's a broken pole stuck on the grass next to the crossing.

Will the party continue forward or turn right?

[Dannylonglegs]

"Loot: I'll take the bow and the quiver, Nur gets the quarter staff and the Tonic, Johon gets the grand potion, and Dak gets the lute. Everyone Ok with that?" Having settled that issue, Sylph examined the pole.

Sylph takes a closer look at the pole. It looks like it has been cracked from the middle. The position of the pole suggests it might have once acted as a signpost.

[Jebediahs]

Nur's Actions

• Attempt to cast luck on Johon OoC: I like that scroll. Diabolical in design X_x
  
• Consume a Grand Tonic
  
• Consume Raw Meat
  
• Give Helmet (+1hp) to Sylph

Nur attempts to cast a beneficial spell on Johon. He opens his pack and drinks from a grand tonic. He unwraps the raw meat and shovels it down his throat so he wouldn't have to share. Nur sees the three throwing shurikens in his pack then looks to his throwing arm covered in stone. The strength was better than before but any bit of finesse he had was gone. He wouldn't be throwing them again soon, not that he was any good with them in the first place. Then he eyed his helmet.

"Here Sylph. If you're going to try out your skill with the bow now from the back row, might as well have some extra protection." Nur hands Sylph his Helmet. "It's a momento from the quest I met Johon here in...keep it." Nur looks back down the path they just traveled. He thinks an opportunity was missed by leaving five merry women unconscious in the middle of nowhere with no law enforcement or other witnesses in sight. He grinned and returned from his daydreaming. "Anyone have a compass?"

[Bricksandparts]

Johon pukss his magic compass off of his neck.

"I was just thinking the same thing."

Johon examines which way his compass says to go.

[Sandy]

Nur attempts to make Johon luckier with his scroll, but fails to do so, losing 5 ether. He quickly fixes the situation by consuming a Grand Tonic.

Meanwhile, Johon uses his Magic Compass to deduce that the boys have indeed turned right from the road leading to Brobric.

[Bricksandparts]

"I'd personally like to find the boys, then come back and see if we can find anything of any use on the other trails."

[Dannylonglegs]

We chase after the boys to the right, but stay on guard for traps.

I drink a tonic.

"Thanks Nur," said Sylph pensively. He took the helmet into his iron gloved hands, looked it over and stepped into the bushes. He emerged adorned by a forest coloured hood draped over the helmet over his head. His animal skull-shaped helmet was strung across his back. Although the helmet he received was only somewhat obscuring, his face could not be seen through the umbrage of his fabric canopy. "It's temporary." he assured the awed party. "Let's go." He grunted in a voice that was somehow different. More pained. Had anyone glanced back, they would have watched the vibrant bush wilt, turn grey-brown, falter, and die.

[Sandy]

The party decides to hurry after the boys, turning right from the Brobric road. Not bothering to look at the shrubbery behind the broken pole, they miss the signpost that warns about an old, rickety bridge ahead. The four men continue along the trail, until they hear a loud cracking sound and screams from up ahead. They rush forward and come to a ravine with a fast stream running in it.

Nuitan and Lyren are hanging onto the remains of a bridge that had broken as they were crossing it. The ropes on the bridge are giving in, so it wouldn't be long before the boys would fall into the deadly, cold mountain river.

"Nute, take my hand!"

"I got it! What now?"

"Uh... I dunno. Let's scream for help. HELP! HEEELP!"

"Ly! Who's going to hear us?! We're in the middle of nowhere!"

"I dunno... But I won't let you fall, you hear me? Our adventures have always had a happy ending, and that won't change now! I've still got the magical Hinckwell luck on my side, remember?"

The party barely hears the conversation across the roaring river. The boys have not noticed their presence yet, but if they get too close they will be spotted. They have to help the boys somehow before they fall. How will they do it?

[Bricksandparts]

Johon whispers to Sylph.

"Quick, call on the tree right there, cause it to bend over and help them get up."

[Dannylonglegs]

Johon whispers to Sylph.

"Quick, call on the tree right there, cause it to bend over and help them get up."

Is that legal? I'll totally do it if it is!

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: I think so, you probably have to use ether, but this isn't a battle or anything, I think you could.

[Dannylonglegs]

If it's legal: Sylph nodded at Johon. He raised his arms and called out to the tree besides the rope bridge. He willed its roots to pull out of the dirt and provide a stable rope for the boys to climb. The effort was taxing and Sylph gasped for breath.

[Sandy]

If it's legal: Sylph nodded at Johon. He raised his arms and called out to the tree besides the rope bridge. He willed its roots to pull out of the dirt and provide a stable rope for the boys to climb. The effort was taxing and Sylph gasped for breath.

Sylph tried to conjure the tree next to the broken bridge to bend it to their aid, but unfortunately spellcasting was not one of the tricks of his trait. However, someone else in the party could be able to pull it off...

QM Note: Your job traits define your ability to manipulate the environment beyond what's normally possible for a human being.

[Jebediahs]

Nur winked his left eye to jut out a foothold for Nuitan on the right side of the destroyed bridge. At the very least it'd help stabilize the bridge a bit in the wind. He set his new walking stick against a tree. "Sylph, I believe it is working. Keep at it!" En Sabah Nur squinted at the tree nearby the broken bridge. With his right hand behind his back, he discretely cast a spell on the tree. Working the incantation with his fingers as he mumbled, he hoped to use the water absorbed by the tree to bend it enough for the boys to get a firm grasp and pull themselves to safety.

[Sandy]

Nur's spellcasting works, and the tree next to the bridge bends down to help the flabbergasted boys up.

"Well, that was a nice tree! Hehe!" Lyren said when they were safely up.

"One thing's for sure; I will never again trust you when you say 'it's okay, it can hold both of our weights'. If it weren't for that tree, we would've both fallen into that icy river!

"Chillax, Nute! We didn't - thanks to my inherited luck. Besides, adventures are supposed to be full of perils and excitement, eh?"

"I suppose so..."

Lyren bumped Nuitan's arm, and the two boys walked off. The party, however, was trapped on the other side of the deep ravine. How will they plan on getting across?
