Heroica RPG - Quest #105: Eternal Reaper

[Zepher]

OoC: Apologies, I guess I was confusing it with the Bravado Brew Alchemists make... which I hope is an understandable mistake given the same exact name.

"Let's keep at it," grunts Boomingham as he does his best attempt to jog back towards the monster, zigging and zagging so as to avoid the terrible claws that could probably crush him flat. "I'll give you this, chappo, you're the biggest thing I've ever had to kill. Biggest ego, smallest brain, biggest body. How do you like that?"

[Emjajoas]

"I suppose that tiny brain has to find ways to compensate," Mortimer adds, hopping backwards and raising his shield as debris flew around him. "Throwing a tantrum wasn't a good one, though."

[Zepher]

"I don't know, big boy, you did a whole lot of talking when I thought the outcome was inevitable too and I only gave you a little bit of lip about it."

[Kintobor]

OOC: Am I still stunned? Doesn't stunned last one round?

[Emjajoas]

"If this is a win-win for you, why bother trying to make us lose?" Mortimer shakes his head, raising his shield again. "Tch. Lie down and die if that's what you want. Humanity as a whole is a stain, but each individual is a treasure. Even your minions, to some degree, understood as much. You're a child, Regret. Quit throwing your tantrum and sleep."

Elemental Attacks:

-At the end of every round, the Eternal Reaper chooses an elemental attack to prepare, decided randomly.

-In order to prevent the attack, the heroes must hit each limb - area of effecs attacks such as Ravage disable only the targetted limb.

-Every single limb hit reduces the probability of the attack launching. (Example: Hitting 3 limbs next round reduces the chance of the attack launching form 7/7 to 4/7.)

-As limbs die, the odds scale with each death. (Example: After 3 limbs are destroyed, the odds start out as 4/4 and drop by 1/4 for every limb hit instead of starting at 7/7 and dropping by 1/7 for every limb hit.)

-If the odds are reduced to 0, the spell back fires and all enemies take 100 damage (disregarding row and SP), and have their SP reduced by 10! (The 100 damage burst is affected by Fragile, and SP can be dropped into the negatives.)

Wind of Destruction (Wind): A squall rips through the party. Three random heroes take damage equal to their level (disregarding row) and have all of their artifacts removed.

Boomingham dodges in close and repeats from the front row.

[Bricksandparts]

Johon rushes forward, slashing at the foe, before getting whacked suddenly, knocking him to the ground. Getting up, he manages to land a hit, before retreating a few steps.

"Keep at it! He's going down, one way or another bloody other!" Johon shouts, somewhat wondering if they would actually win.

OoC: I should attack Apex tail from the FR first because it's hexed, and then Claw A/heal from BR

[Kintobor]

Karie shakes out of her daze, feeling disgusted.

"Ugh... and there I was thinking I was... never mind what I was thinking." Karie strikes the Apex tail from the presumed safety of the back row.

"I'm going to need a heal soon, guys!"

[Zepher]

"I'll be getting rid of these tails soon enough, my dear, and then we can all patch ourselves up a bit."

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: You still have my order switched, Em

[Endgame]

QM Note: I'll give you folks until tomorrow morning to get that battle order sorted out.

[Zepher]

OoC: I don't think we're changing anything - I believe all our actions are in, and the order will remain the same regardless, it's just that Em doesn't have everything written up perfectly. I'm sure you can run it with that order and just plug in individual player actions where Em's order contradicts them.

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: The only problem with mine is that my first and second action are switched.

[Emjajoas]

OOC: I fixed it. My bad; was in a bit of a rush.

[Zepher]

OoC: The only problem with mine is that my first and second action are switched.

QMs, in my experience, will always over ride the PL's suggested actions with the actual submitted actions of the player. They should, at least, since it is their character.

Boomingham tries his best to scale the beast in order to get near the tails again.

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: In the update, you can add scroll of anti-magic and luminous bow from the tourney.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Update tomorrow afternoon. Unexpected family emergency.

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: I hope things work themselves out

[Endgame]

QM Note: Working hard to sort things out, and trying to keep you folks posted. I know how frustrating six days without any progress in such a long quest can be, so thanks for putting up with my recent onslaught of issues and distractions. I hope to update tomorrow morning.
