Heroica RPG - Quest #110: Color Me Gone

Recommended Posts

Round 3

>Vindsval vs Heal Bobby [back]: Heal Less (Bobby +1 Health, 5HP; Vindsval -1 ether, 5-1=4Ether)

>Miderun (Serstyral) drinks a potion (back row): Restores Health (+10, 3+10=8HP)

>Bobby (Dope Dagger) vs. Tom Dale (considered Level 2) [front]: Critical Hit (3x2+1=7 Damage to Tom)

>Benji (Meduiak) vs. Tom Dale (considered Level 85) [back]: Shield—Beast Unleashed (Benji turns into his beast form until he rolls a Shield or Revert again)

The heroes, worried about the previous round, take a breather before charging again. Vindsval manages to help Bobby out a little while Miderun manages to get back to full strength. Thanks to Vindsval's boost, Bobby is able to make his strongest hit on Tom. Benji uses his special Beast Unleashed and transforms, ready to rip Tom to shreds the next round.

Run over there little one, I will come for you soon and return you to your father and home.

Vindsval watches Luke scamper to safety, takes his hammer in a two handed grip, and swings it mightily at Tom Dale.

>Vindsval (Hammer) vs Tom Dale (considered Level 2) [front]: Special - Teenage Angst (Vindsval -3 HP, 9-3=6HP; Miderun -3 HP, 8-3=5HP, Bobby -3 HP, 5-3=2HP)

>Miderun (Serstyral) vs. Tom Dale (considered Level 2) [front]: Shield - Frenzy (Tom Dale loses 6HP, 21-6=15HP)

>Bobby (Dope Dagger) vs. Tom Dale (considered Level 2) [front]: Special - Teenage Angst (Vindsval -3HP, 6-3=3HP; Miderun -3HP, 5-3=2HP; Bobby -3 HP, 2-3= 0HP, Knocked Out)

>Benji (Meduiak) vs. Tom Dale (considered Level 85) [back]: Bite (Tom Dale loses 43 HP, Killed; Benji reverts to humanoid form after Tom's Death)

Vindsval, distracted by setting Luke down, isn't completely ready to attack Tom, allowing him to hit the Heroes in the front again. Miderun, ready, weakens Tom as he falls back, swinging Sertyral and giving him a good shake up. Bobby on the other hand let's Tom attack the three of them again, but Bobby was do weak to take a hit. He falls to the ground unconscious. Yet Benji, pulling up the rear, leaps towards the teenager and delivers a massive bite to the side of Tom's abdomen, ripping out his intestines, instantly killing the abusive male. Benji also finds Tom's hidden coin purse, taking 43 gold.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS.

Everyone except for Bobby (Zepher) has gained a level of experience.

Luke Zent lets out a small huff and reaches his arms out to Vindsval.

Bobby doesn't gain experience, having been KO'd at the end of battle. I should also gain 2 health thanks to Natural Respite. :thumbup:

Miderun smirked as Tom's blood splattered all over the place as Benji tore the fool in half despite the injures she's sustained. Slinging Serstyral over her back, she looks around to find Bobby on the ground.

"We've got things to do, get up."

She reached down and grabbed the rogue's collar, pulling him upright with little effort. The orc then glanced at Benji and motioned to Tom and Flora.

"And now we divy up their stuff, right?"

I mean current, not maximum health, sorry. :blush: You had the max health right, I should just heal by 2.

That is not how I would have wished for that to end. Vindsval looks sadly at the remains of the two dead. One a pompous youth with something to prove, the other an estranged mother at her wits end. He moves to Luke, picks him up and places him on his shoulders. I will take you home now young one. I believe your father would like to see you again.

Before leaving he kneels down, wraps Flora in her tattered dress and lifts her body gently. I'll not leave her for the carrion eaters.

Miderun, if you would carry Bobby back to the village, I believe we have some news to deliver. A nights rest will do use good, and then we need to be on with our mission.

Benji transforms back into his human state and spits as he tastes blood. He silently hands out the loot to the others.

"Aye, let's head back to the town, and we'll see the reaction of the citizens. I regret the loss of life that took place here... not..." Benji looks carelessly at the dead bodies, not exhibiting a sign of compassion. But if the others paid close enough attention, as he looked at the child he looked at it with pity, but then again grouchily glared at the corpses, and starting coughing away again.

Miderun glanced at Luke, hesitantly giving him a somewhat rough pat on the back, before shuffling behind the rest of the party. She kept a close eye out for any trouble as they returned to town, letting the club hang from her belt as she examined the strange weaponized shoes they had looted.

The four heroes and the little boy make the journey back up the coast towards Tridentia. Luke says nothing as they travel. He just sits there, eyes glazed over.

Finally they reach Tridentia, and only Lacy, William and Daniel are there to greet them.

TailorWilliamMorrisCU_zpsd7cee3dd.jpg

"We were worried you weren't going to find them!"

CobblerDanielCasoCU_zps408e56fc.jpg

Daniel, in his old age, notices that Luke is quieter than normal. He looks around for Flora. "Good Heroes, where is the boy's mother?" He clears his throat. "Son, why don't you come to your papa over here?"

"Flora and some idiot sarkuun were trying to flee the island with a rowboat. On the open sea, they would've been dead. Luke says they hit him. So...we hit them." Miderun crossed her arms as she bluntly explained the situation.

Benji puts on a formal manner and tries to act comforting, although it is obviously an act. "We're most deeply sorry to inform you that regretfully the poor mother of this here darling child has been, um, sadly, and unfortunately, um, well, killed." He puts on a mournful look and continues on in a most pitiful manner. "We tried to save her, but she and her lover refused to return with us, and resorted to violence. We did all we could do protect the child and his mother, but the violence shown towards us was resentable. We defended ourselves and attempted to not hurt them, but sadly they were killed in the attempts on our lives. We did all we could to try and revive the mother, but sadly my arrow was in her nervous system her signs of life fleeted rapidly and despite our half-giant cleric's best attempts on healing her, she passed away. I mournfully bring you this news, but on the positive we were able to save poor Luke to bring back to you. He was brought against his will on an escape from the island, and I'm sure that he will be glad to return to you." Benji motions to Vindsval to let the child down by his father.

He coughs as the orc bluntly speaks the obvious truth. "And don't listen to my orc companion, please, she has no sense of manners! Ha! You know most orcs never do."

"I'm being honest with them. Hiding it in that pile of aepyornis shit you call manners isn't going to change what happened. You sound like one of those two-faced human diplomats."

Miderun shook her head.

"Vindsval tried to save her but she was already gone. Shame, but I'm sure you'll take far better care of Luke."

Vindsval walks forward and eases the body of Flora onto the cobbles in front of townspeople. He gently unwraps her face.

It is true what both of my companions say. We were not the aggressors, but we did defend ourselves. I attempted to call her back, but it was not the Wanderer's Will. I pray that my protection of the son will ease the loss of the mother.

He reaches up onto his shoulder and picks up the boy. He steps forward and hands him down to Daniel.

You will be fine now Luke.

After letting go of the boy he reaches into his pouch, and removes a small carved stick. He hands it to William. In his hands it is nearly as big as a hammer handle.

Give that to the boy when he has calmed. It is a mark of the Wanderer. It will protect him.

Luke carefully went to Daniel, the old man scooped him up and gave him a hug. Luke studied the stick Vindsval gave him before uttering a thank you.

CobblerDanielCasoCU_zps408e56fc.jpg

"I only wish it hadn't happened this way. Who was the man with Flora? Now I'm also a man of my word, so here is 10 gold for each of you. Half-giant, you seem to be smart, so give these two remedies to who you see fit in the party."

LukeZentCU_zps25855927.jpg

Then, Luke went up to Vindsval hugged his leg and looked into his eyes. "I want to be a hero like you someday." And with that, Luke ran back into Daniel Caso's house with his gift of the Wanderer from his new friend.

TailorWilliamMorrisCU_zpsd7cee3dd.jpg

"I'm assuming you all need to rest, it is late and it will be easier to really start tomorrow morning. You all can sleep in my house if you wish, I have enough room. Though you, Vindsval, may find you may have to duck to get through the doors. What would you like to do?"

"We don't need to rest. I think that we should be heading to the graveyard tonight, I wonder if the source of the monochromization could be there." Benji looks at the others to see their opinions. "What do y'all think?" he asks them quietly.

"Rest would be nice," mumbled Miderun, rubbing her fractured shoulder briefly. "Then tomorrow we'll head to the orchard."

Benji looks over the crew, just now realizing their situation. A cleric without ether would be of little use, and didn't look like he had a tonic. Of course Benji wouldn't have one of him, so as the orc said, maybe it would be better to rest.

"Alright, I don't want to wear you fellers out, so I think that it would be lovely to rest. Thank you for your hospitality!"
