Again!

[Costy]

I attack Night Mare with my axe from the front row.

[KotZ]

"LEt's do this again."

Kiray attacks the Horrapple from the back row again.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald repeats his actions.

[Sandy]

Barty disappears again. Boomingham, still drinkless, opens up one of his meads and takes a long drink from it. The party is weighing on his nerves. He glances up at the other balcony, just to see if there is anything worth seeing. He then makes his way over to Lady Shanxian.

"I have heard of your troubles, my dear lady. A number of my old friends were on the quest to retrieve your boy. I would like to offer my apologies on behalf of Heroica, and also my own personal regret. I am Lord Lawrence Boomingham of the Paladin Order. I imagine it must be hard to enjoy the evening with such a heavy heart. I commend you for still attending." Boomingham raises his glass. "No drink for you?" Boomingham also nods politely to Lee Long as a greeting.

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Boomingham. I am contemplating on recruiting Heroica to help me retrieve my son for the second time - although this time I imagine he will be brought home in a coffin. What comes to drinking, it is uncustomary for us Aoi to celebrate or consume intoxicating substances during a mourning period. The memory of the deceased must not be hazed, it would be disrespectful. I am only attending this party as a representative of my nation - my mind and heart are elsewhere, making preparations on how to avenge the outlaws who took my son away from me. I hope everyone here understands that."

Lee Long stands in position behind his blue-skinned mistress. The stoic monk answers Boomingham's nod.

Bilbert Wigglepike takes the stage again.

"Ahem! I apologize, but there seems to be a minor delay with the hors d'oeurves. Please enjoy another round of drinks in the meantime!"

Results of Round Four of the Dark Night Battle:

Nagure (Axe of the Croise) vs. Night Mare - Shield (War Cry - All party members: encouraged)

>Arthur uses Scroll of Weakening on Dark Night - Success (Dark Night: weakened; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Arthur (Light) vs. Night Mare - Special Damage/Confuse (Night Mare: Confused; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Arthur (Light) vs. Dark Night - Special Damage/Spell (Dark Night: 974 health+1 SP-(33x8=264 dmg)=711 health;Arthur: -1 ether)

Nagure joins the action, and howls a terrible war cry that nevertheless encouraged him and Arthur. Arthur on the other hand weakens Dark Night again, and then confuses the steed. Sorrow finally manages to assassinate Night Mare, and earns a hefty amount of gold in the process. Arthur also earns some gold with his Magnetic Mojo that unfortunately has no effect on the Dark Night. His light-elemental spell does, however. Arthur's ether is burning up very fast, though.

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

[Endgame]

OOC: Sandy, our plan is just to allow Nagure to counterstrike the Dark Night to death. Also, how'd my bow get poisoned?"

I stand back as I watch the black raider tumble off of his dead horse, the Night Mare gutted and killed.

"Hmm... This battle is just about over. Nagure, kill him."

I turn around and watch the door as the Black Night rams his skull into Nagure's fist.

[Sandy]

OOC: Sandy, our plan is just to allow Nagure to counterstrike the Dark Night to death. Also, how'd my bow get poisoned?"

QM Note: Apparently not. I don't decide your battle actions, remember.

Flipz made Arthur to attack Dark Night if Night Mare was dead. And he also used the Scroll of Poisoning on your weapon on the previous round.

Oh, and if you don't want to automatically change your target once the intended one is dead, you have to say so.

[Endgame]

OOC:

Sorry, I just see all those scrolls and my eyes go a bit hazy.

Yeah, I figure we can keep Nagure sitting against the door doing nothing while he Counterstrikes the Dark Night to death.

It appears we've had a miscommunication somewhere down the line, Flipz. Ah well, we can definitely trump this guy no matter what.

I startle back as the smell of poison curls up my every arrow, my bolts suddenly coated in a deadly toxin. For a split second I debate just dropping the bow and switching to another weapon, but then I realize it was our sorcerer's doing and not the Black Night's.

"Helvetia almighty, I know I grew up in a necromancer community... but how do those scrolls even work?"

Edited May 4, 2013 by Endgame

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Sorry laddy and lassie, I must be a bit rusty in me battle abilities..."

Grimwald repeats his actions again.

[Shoker86]

Arnulf attacks Bananasty from back row again "Do not apologize, you healed me, you're not useless"

Battle order

1. Arnulf attacks Bananasty BR

2. Kiray attacks Horrapple BR

3. Grimwald attacks Cherrible BR

Edited May 4, 2013 by Shoker86

[LordoftheNoobs]

Ooc: haha, didnt even realise I rolled a shield till now XD

[KotZ]

"I agree; don't apologize. You're a vital part of this party."

Kiray attacks Horraple from the Back Row again.

[Zepher]

Boomingham chews on his lower lip. "I hope the young chaps and misses aren't in any sort of trouble. We could be helping them instead of whatever we're doing here." Boomingham makes his way over to Patricia. "Hello there, dear, I thought I'd check in. I've made the rounds and talked to all the guests, or at least all the families, and I've tasted some of the wine. There doesn't seem to be any foul play, yet. Is there anything else you can think of that needs doing while we wait for whatever might be coming?"

[Professor Flitwick]

Thothwick attempts to walk up to the balcony level, to get a good view of everyone there. If he fails to find an enterance, he'll simply crane his neck to look at who is on the opposite balcony.

"Helvetia almighty, I know I grew up in a necromancer community... but how do those scrolls even work?"

"I have a few theories, but I haven't had time to fully research them. Byblos knows even more about the subject than I, though."

"If you could let off a shot at this guy using that Longbow, it'd be most helpful, get him Deadly Poisoned even though it won't cause any damage. Nagure and I both have Light-elemental weapons, and we're Encouraged, so we might be able to take him down faster than Counterstriking."

Battle Order (and suggested actions):

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night, Back Row)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night OR if Dark Night Sealed, Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night OR if Dark Night Sealed, Scroll of Frailty vs. Dark Night, Back Row)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night OR if Dark Night Sealed, Scroll of Frailty vs. Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night already Sealed and Frail, Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

>Sorrow (Mockthril Longbow vs Dark Night, Back Row)

>Sorrow (Mockthril Longbow vs Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night already Deadly Poisoned, guard door (do nothing), Back Row)

Nagure (Axe of the Croise vs. Dark Night, Front Row)

"Let's strategize ahead while we have a moment to do so."

OOC: We can autoroll with the following strategy until a Hero is in danger of being KO'd

Autoroll Battle Order:

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night is Sealed, nothing)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night is Sealed, Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night is Sealed, nothing)

>Arthur (Scroll of Sealing vs. Dark Night, Back Row OR if Dark Night is Sealed, Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

Nagure (Axe of the Croise vs. Dark Night, Front Row)

>Sorrow (guard door (do nothing), Back Row)

>Sorrow (guard door (do nothing), Back Row)

OOC: And if Arthur runs out of Ether, the plan will be:

Autoroll Battle Order 2:

Nagure (do nothing, Front Row)

>Arthur (Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

>Arthur (Healing Staff vs. Nagure, Back Row)

>Sorrow (guard door (do nothing), Back Row)

>Sorrow (guard door (do nothing), Back Row)

...again, autorolling only until a Hero is in danger of being KO'd.

Edited May 5, 2013 by Flipz

[Costy]

I attack Dark Knight from the Front Row with my axe. If Arthur runs out off ether or someone is in danger of being KO'd, I do nothing from the back row.

[Endgame]

I shoot the Dark Night until succesful then watch the door (do nothing), back.

[Sandy]

QM Note: I edited the autorolled results of the Fruit Salad-battle to have Arnulf and Kiray attack from the front row.

Boomingham chews on his lower lip. "I hope the young chaps and misses aren't in any sort of trouble. We could be helping them instead of whatever we're doing here." Boomingham makes his way over to Patricia. "Hello there, dear, I thought I'd check in. I've made the rounds and talked to all the guests, or at least all the families, and I've tasted some of the wine. There doesn't seem to be any foul play, yet. Is there anything else you can think of that needs doing while we wait for whatever might be coming?"

Captain Patricia frowns upon seeing Boomingham walk out of the Theater.

"What are you doing here? Assume your position back, now! I don't need reports, I need you to keep those people inside there alive and happy."

Thothwick attempts to walk up to the balcony level, to get a good view of everyone there. If he fails to find an enterance, he'll simply crane his neck to look at who is on the opposite balcony.

Thothwick finds the access to the balcony. He finds out it's U-shaped. It is filled with tables for the lesser-known guests who are chatting amongst themselves.

[Sandy]

[Endgame]

My shoulders sag as I realize I pocket more gold - instead of, you know, shooting the enemy.

"Erm... uh. Reflex, maybe?

Are we going to keep this up? Either way, Nagure, show this fool what happens to those who try to attack a hero on duty."

[Flipz]

OOC: I'm an idiot. This is, like, one of the best artifacts in the game, and I keep forgetting to actually use the damn thing!

"The strategy is sound. I just hope the other Heroes are faring all right." In addition to his battle actions, Arthur uses the power of the Jester's Cap to copy Nagure's immunity to Blindness.
