Heroica RPG - Quest #107: Deeper

[Sandy]

"This can't be happening! What's wrong with me?" Ellaria hisses to herself. Could it be because she pretty much insulted Ennoc's power? She gazed up to the sun above them, and suddenly saw it as a huge judgmental, unblinking eye.

Then she perished the foolish thought out of her head and concentrated to heal herself again.

[Zepher]

OoC: Have fun, WBD!

Angelic Ambush Round Five

>Deborah v. Ancient Angel - Shield (Aura)

Deborah silently but confidently steps before the party with a assured smile. From behind her Hybros is able to lash out at Silent Bull as Deborah drives him back. Skrall and Nyx land powerful shots once more, and Ellaria's goddess returns full force, restoring her to tip-top fighting condition!

Inventory: Mead, Grand Potion, Soma x2, Ambrosia

Loot

120 Gold

Feather of Lithe x2

Soma x2

Deborah nudges the downed body with a foot.

"That wasn't too bad, was it?"

[JimBee]

In case anyone didn't know what the Feather of Lithe does: (Makes the user nimble for three rounds, giving them a 1/3 chance to completely avoid rolls of COUNTER and DAMAGE and Free Hits.)

EDIT: I'm sorry but I didn't catch this til now, but Hybros was in the back row last round and Martial Hits are not ranged (magic or not), so the damage should have been halved. Doing the math in my head, with Skrall's and Hybros' hits from this round, I think SIlent Bull should be left with something like 3 health. I'm not sure if you just want to call it quits or autoroll, Zeph, but either way this battle is pretty much finished.

Loot Distribution:

Nyx - Feather of Lithe, 30 gold

Skrall - Feather of Lithe, 30 gold

Ellaria - Soma, 30 gold

Hybros - Soma, 30 gold

"Not bad, Warden, but I am afraid we will have to keep these items for now, eheh. At least, I do not think we will need the gold anytime soon..."

Hybros nods to the rest of the party. "Well done. I did not know about the Order Imperial before now, but they seem to follow their goals with the same determination and lunacy as the Crimson Crown. Good riddance, heh. Let us continue back to Daneeka's."

[Zepher]

OoC: With situations like that, I generally just give it to the players. I'm still learning the ropes with Chi Monk, thank you for the heads up! That makes sense, but I must have skimmed it as soon as I started reading about the elemental bit, having read about mages so many times.

"The Order Imperial are fools. We cannot learn from our past if we leave it buried. And if we can't learn from our past, how the Hel are we going to get stronger?" She smiles. "People like that piss me off, you know?"

[JimBee]

"The Order Imperial are fools. We cannot learn from our past if we leave it buried. And if we can't learn from our past, how the Hel are we going to get stronger?" She smiles. "People like that piss me off, you know?"

Hybros looks to the Warden, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He masks it by looking away again. "I agree... Perhaps the Order Imperial know something we do not, but if they believe in fate, then our victory means we were meant to continue. That other one interests me, however. His willingness to give us choice... still, we can not think about that now."

I too am still learning Chi Monk, so don't worry about it! I forgot that I could even attack without elements. We also forgot about the engine's stun effect (and extra damage) which would have changed things, but oh well...

Note that I also changed the loot distribution - I switched so that Skrall, as the tankier one, could have the Feather of Lithe and Hybros could have the Soma so that he will get Lucky faster if he's already Blessed and Hastened in the event of a Shield roll.

[Sandy]

"That battle was much ado about nothing, really", Ellaria huffed, disappointed by her own poor performance. "Let's just continue, shall we?"

[Pandora]

OoC: Natural respite brings Nyx back to full health please.

"Seems like Ennoc isn't much bothered about what we're doing. Either that or he wasn't even watching. Either way... whatever. Deborah, you fought bravely and honourably. I have a better measure of people once I've fought at their side, or in your case, behind you." Nyx grins and accepts the loot from Hybros.

"Let's get going."

[JimBee]

Skrall brushed himself off, making it clear that his natural respite helped his minor wounds heal quicker, and indicated that he, too, was ready to move on.

Hybros looks to the Warden, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He masks it by looking away again. "I agree... Perhaps the Order Imperial know something we do not, but if they believe in fate, then our victory means we were meant to continue. That other one interests me, however. His willingness to give us choice... still, we can not think about that now."

"Yes, but he keeps the company of fools, so he can't be that clever himself." She considers things for a while. "Though I guess if he believes in the big ideal, and he's not the head of Order Imperial some of the company he keeps is probably out of his control."

OoC: Natural respite brings Nyx back to full health please.

"Seems like Ennoc isn't much bothered about what we're doing. Either that or he wasn't even watching. Either way... whatever. Deborah, you fought bravely and honourably. I have a better measure of people once I've fought at their side, or in your case, behind you." Nyx grins and accepts the loot from Hybros.

"Let's get going."

OoC: No. I refuse. I have forgotten Natural Respite too consistently for too many years so it should no longer exist. But in this one case, okay, you can use your job trait.

"Thank you, Nyx. I'm the same sort of gal. And I'll always try to protect you, if I can." She bangs her fist on her armor. "It's what I'm here for."

The heroes arrive back outside Daneeka's workshop and are greeted by a friendly face, grinning ear to ear as always.

"Hey, looky here what I got! It's a real, gen-u-ine Minoid. Don't ever let it be said that Heweyrt doesn't put his banging buck where his mouth is. This baby will help with the drilling for sure. How'd you fare, heroes?"

"We picked up that engine."

"So it went swimmingly, is what you're saying. Good, because the Doc is already setting up his fantastical machine. Seems that there's some colony under Eubric that recently found a big old hole in the ground. It gives us a good head start. So, that's where the Doc is at, and I'm supposed to bring you there."

Heweyrt takes off down the alleyways of Eubric, leading the heroes forward.

[CMP]

I am assuming control.

Also, gnomes.

Heweyrt led the way through a few of the winding streets within the heart of Eubric, their short trip ending in a rather clean alley behind the apothecary. Two signs and a spiffy-looking gnome in a top hat awaited them near a heavy-looking manhole.

"Heroes, heroes, welcome to our fair city - and welcome back in your case, Mister Hybros. Well, this - it's mostly underground. Welcome to the fair door to our fair city, I suppose."

"Hard sell if your front door is a manhole. But maybe that's intentional." Heweyrt grins. The gnome adjusts his hat nervously.

"Yes, indeed. My name is Moke, I manage the funds of Zylstra, the City in the Sewers, secret haven for many - mostly gnomes. Doctor Daneeka is already down below assembling the, um, device. I'm here to take you to him."

The gnome tugged the lever at his side, and the large manhole slid outward on a mechanical arm of some kind, and the heroes were now looking down what seemed to be a set of sturdy stairs, lit by some rather nice candles mounted on the walls. Moke pried one of the candles free, carrying it down, leading the party down into a lengthy, but rather dry and warm sewer tunnel.

"Yes, we have lived in isolation for countless generations in these sewers, but as you can see, we've taken many strides towards greater contact with the outside world. And it is thanks to Heroica's many...er, heroics, in the past. We would not have survived beyond that had Mister Hybros and others from your organization rescued most of the city from a dark threat not more than a month ago, so the Baron was more than happy to let the Doctor begin his drilling here. Naturally, we have a great respect for you heroes. Who do we have the privilege of hosting here this evening?"

[JimBee]

"Hey, looky here what I got! It's a real, gen-u-ine Minoid. Don't ever let it be said that Heweyrt doesn't put his banging buck where his mouth is. This baby will help with the drilling for sure. How'd you fare, heroes?"

"A what? Is it like an auto... auto... machine?" Hybros followed Hewyrt through Eubric with the rest of the party.

"Yes, we have lived in isolation for countless generations in these sewers, but as you can see, we've taken many strides towards greater contact with the outside world. And it is thanks to Heroica's many...er, heroics, in the past. We would not have survived beyond that had Mister Hybros and others from your organization rescued most of the city from a dark threat not more than a month ago, so the Baron was more than happy to let the Doctor begin his drilling here. Naturally, we have a great respect for you heroes. Who do we have the privilege of hosting here this evening?"

"Moke! It is good to see you again. I never thought I would return to Zylstra so soon, but it is not unwanted, heheh. How are the people? And... Wally... is he still around?" Hybros' voice faltered a little, but he turned to introduce his companions.

"Skrall. I ain't one fer tight spaces, so I hope ye got room fer an ogre in here." He nodded in greeting. He looked up at the ceiling, seeming a little uncomfortable.

Hybros explained to Hewyert and his other companions. "Zylstra and its pathways run even deeper than this. The Doctor was right to start here, I think."

[Pandora]

"Sewers, yay. " Nyx mutters to herself, observing the manhole.

"It is good to meet you, Moke, you are very.. spiffy-looking. I am Nyx." Nyx performs her usual gracious bow.

[Sandy]

Ellaria was feeling somewhat claustrophobic in the sewers, having gotten used to a life outdoors.

"Ehm, it is a nice place you have here, Mr. Moke. I am Ellaria Arbour, a druid of Sylvania. I don't imagine many plants grow down here, do they?"

[CMP]

"A what? Is it like an auto... auto... machine?" Hybros followed Hewyrt through Eubric with the rest of the party.

"Moke! It is good to see you again. I never thought I would return to Zylstra so soon, but it is not unwanted, heheh. How are the people? And... Wally... is he still around?" Hybros' voice faltered a little, but he turned to introduce his companions.

"Skrall. I ain't one fer tight spaces, so I hope ye got room fer an ogre in here." He nodded in greeting. He looked up at the ceiling, seeming a little uncomfortable.

"Right in one. And built for mining. It'll definitely be of use."

"Most are fine, if rattled from their little venture into the Black City. Posco's....not well. And Wally seems to have run off not long after the U'Kin's burial, I'm afraid."

"Sewers, yay. " Nyx mutters to herself, observing the manhole.

"It is good to meet you, Moke, you are very.. spiffy-looking. I am Nyx." Nyx performs her usual gracious bow.

"Of course, thank you miss." Moke paused briefly to bow in return, and his hat very nearly fell off. "I may seem a bit...out of place here, but I assure you, our town is very, erm, civilized."

Ellaria was feeling somewhat claustrophobic in the sewers, having gotten used to a life outdoors.

"Ehm, it is a nice place you have here, Mr. Moke. I am Ellaria Arbour, a druid of Sylvania. I don't imagine many plants grow down here, do they?"

"Our town actually sits in what would be a cistern Miss Arbour. Our ancestors cleaned up the tunnels nearby, so we have only clean water running through our town. One of our food staples is actually mushrooms. And our tavern sits inside of one."

Up ahead, a dim glow of reddish light was visible. When the party finally arrived at it, they could see the gnome wasn't lying.

"Ah, here we are. Welcome to Zylstra, though, ah...I'm afraid we won't be stopping here for long. I just need to go inform the Baron - he's our mayor down here - that you've arrived, and then we can be off." Moke blinked at the heroes. "You, eh, seem to have been in a scrape or two before coming down here, haven't you? Why don't you go visit the Sluice while I go fetch the Baron? It's right up there - the big mushroom, as I said. Have a drink, relax - I'll be along shortly."

The gnome hobbled off.

"Got to wonder what they even have to drink down here."

[JimBee]

"Most are fine, if rattled from their little venture into the Black City. Posco's....not well. And Wally seems to have run off not long after the U'Kin's burial, I'm afraid."

"Hm, that is disturbing news... I hope they are both okay for now... though I would like to see Posco if he is around."

"Very well, we will go to the Sluice." Hybros thought about asking where they'd be going, but figured it would be answered in due time. He asked his companions, "How many of you knew this was down here? Hehehe... The gnomes are a good people. It is one thing if they prefer the underground but... they deserve to see the surface world as much as anyone else."

[CMP]

"Hm, that is disturbing news... I hope they are both okay for now... though I would like to see Posco if he is around."

"Very well, we will go to the Sluice." Hybros thought about asking where they'd be going, but figured it would be answered in due time. He asked his companions, "How many of you knew this was down here? Hehehe... The gnomes are a good people. It is one thing if they prefer the underground but... they deserve to see the surface world as much as anyone else."

Hybros led the way to the giant mushroom up some slimy steps and through a wooden door that had been fitted into the front of the enormous fungus. Inside was a warm and oddly homely, if rather musty, bar. Two dwarves and a halfling seemed to be talking over a few drinks.

"-eally don't know what ye mean, things have picked up quite well around here from what I've seen, considering what everyone went through."

"Aye, 'fraid I'm with Melvin on this one."

The halfling coughed harshly. He looked to be by far the oldest.

"Sentiments like that get people killed."

"Paranoid old bastard. And here I was thinkin' you couldn't get any more bitter, Posco. Need another brandy?"

"I'm fine, Vinum. And here's my justification, right on cue." The elderly halfling coughed again, but then only gave a twisted smile and motioned towards the party. "Heroes of Heroica, walking into a bar. I was a bloody assassin, but there's no surer sign of imminent death than that."

"Oh, stuff it you rotten lunatic." The bartender waved the heroes over in a more friendly manner. "Heroes are always welcome in my place. Hybros, not surprised to see you're back. Zylstra has a way of doing that. Is that an ogre? Mind the door, that thing's older than I am."

[JimBee]

"Melvin, Vinum... Posco. It is good to see you all." Hybros wore a genuine smile, even if it wasn't really visible beneath his bandages. "How has Zylstra been since the... incident? Melvin, how is the song coming? And, eh, Posco, you have seen better days... eheh."

"Is that an ogre? Mind the door, that thing's older than I am."

"That I am. What do ye got ta drink 'round here?"

[Zepher]

Deborah saunters up to the bar.

"Pleasure to meet the lot of you," she says with a nod to all. "I've never been in a gnomish city before, and I've got to say I like it. What've you got to drink? Mushroom brandy and all that?" She glances at Heweyrt. "Assuming I'm allowed something to drink?"

"Anything your heart desires and that they also serve." Heweyrt turns to the contraption to his right. "Anything for you, Minoid 2.0?"

"STATEMENT: I do not require drink," says the machine next to him in a clear deep mechanical voice.

[Sandy]

"I think I'll skip the drinks this time, if nobody minds", Ellaria said, smirking. She felt she needed to be on her A-game, for the tons of solid earth all around her made her fidgety enough.

[CMP]

"How has Zylstra been since the... incident? Melvin, how is the song coming?"

"It's quite a tune! Been a hit back on the ship. Gotta say I like the quiet down here though."

"And, eh, Posco, you have seen better days... eheh."

"Says the man with his face covered in bandages."

"How has Zylstra been since the... incident?"

"That I am. What do ye got ta drink 'round here?"

"Thing's've settled down since then, Hybros. And free drinks are the least I can do to repay you for what you've done for our city. Hell, all of you probably did somethin' or other to save this whole island at some point."

"Pleasure to meet the lot of you," she says with a nod to all. "I've never been in a gnomish city before, and I've got to say I like it. What've you got to drink? Mushroom brandy and all that?"

"Oh, the brandy ain't nearly strong enough for you lot. But aye, everythin' here's been whipped up by yours truly. It's a wonder what you can do with the mushrooms around here."

"I think I'll skip the drinks this time, if nobody minds", Ellaria said, smirking. She felt she needed to be on her A-game, for the tons of solid earth all around her made her fidgety enough.

Vinum shrugged, slinging everyone but Ellaria a glass of Mulled Wine that smelled a lot like the very air inside the mushroom. Posco leaned against the side of the bar, looking tired.

"Dare I ask while you're all here?"

"It's quite a tune! Been a hit back on the ship. Gotta say I like the quiet down here though."

"Eheh, I do not know if it is going to be quiet for much longer, I am afraid..."

"Says the man with his face covered in bandages."

"Mm, yes, heheh. I have changed since we last met, Posco. I see you are no longer killing things left and right. Do not worry, your secret is safe with me, hehe."

Vinum shrugged, slinging everyone but Ellaria a glass of Mulled Wine that smelled a lot like the very air inside the mushroom. Posco leaned against the side of the bar, looking tired.

"Dare I ask while you're all here?"

Hybros nods at Vinum. "Oh, um, thank you. It will strengthen us for the journey ahead." He sips the drink.

He turned to Posco. "Which is that we are digging. Searching for lost secrets."
