Heroica RPG - Quest#1: Harvest Time

[Sandy]

Okay, let's go for the middle of the back row.

Bartholomew takes another arrow, and aims it to the pumpkin in the middle of the back row.

*SQUASH*

That pumpkin shatters as well. Five more pumpkins remain, and the party can only afford one mistake now.

[Brickdoctor]

Alright them, what do you guys think? Shall we go for the next darkest one, or make a bold choice and go for a lighter one?

[Tamamono]

"I don't know, we only have two more tries, so we have to be extremely careful. Which one does everybody else want to squash next?"

[Fred Fred Burger]

Told you so:tongue:. Anyway I say we go either for the middle front or top right, what do you guys think?

[Brickdoctor]

The second from the right of the foreground row is a good as any, if you still want to go for the dark pumpkins.

[Tamamono]

The second from the right of the foreground row is a good as any, if you still want to go for the dark pumpkins.

"Sounds good to me. The old farmer did say that we have to make a bold choice."

[Fred Fred Burger]

well we've already used are other 2 tries on dark pumpkins so why not use the last. Sure lets go with top right.

[Brickdoctor]

"Sounds good to me. The old farmer did say that we have to make a bold choice."

That depends whether he meant it figuratively (but not like suspense, so shut up)* or literally. I suppose considering that this Quest was designed for new heroes, I shouldn't be misinterpreting things by trying to evaluate them too much, though.

*shamelessly stolen from Baritones 3

well we've already used are other 2 tries on dark pumpkins so why not use the last. Sure lets go with top right.

Top-right is a light pumpkin.

[Fred Fred Burger]

Whatever:tongue: I still think we should go for it.

[Sandy]

The old farmer looked at the heroes.

"I'm right here, you know? Don't have to talk about me as if I'm not present... Anyway, just make it clear which pumpkin you want to target next. The monster is not going to show itself if we just stand here."

[Brickdoctor]

So Mr. Donauld, what exactly did you mean by 'bold choice'?

Or was that the narrator speaking?

[Sisco]

"Front row, second to the right. It only has four stripes. Should we go for that one?"

[Fred Fred Burger]

Anyway I still think we should go top right.

[Tamamono]

"Front row, second to the right. It only has four stripes. Should we go for that one?"

"Don't you mean the front row on the right? And that one actually does have more than four stripes, but the shadow makes it look like there's four."

"We can't seem to agree on a pumpkin to smash, so I suggest our Party Leader make the final decision."

[Fred Fred Burger]

Yea none of us can really agree so why don't you decide Bartholomew?

[Brickdoctor]

I'm going to wait to see if Mr. Donauld can answer my question.

If he can't, I pick the second from the right of the front row.

[Sandy]

I'm going to wait to see if Mr. Donauld can answer my question.

If he can't, I pick the second from the right of the front row.

The "bold choice" turns out to be a correct one, as Bartholomew sends a third arrow flying towards the second pumpkin from the right on the front row. Instead of squashing the pumpkin, the arrow gets stuck in it. The pumpkin starts shaking. As it turns, an evil grinning face is revealed. The Pumpkinface jumps up from the ground, but it is not alone. Two other Pumpkinheads follow it up. The party draws their weapons for the very first time.

Party Leader, choose the order of action.

All of you, choose your targets and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone have acted.

Note that the battle may not last more than four rounds, or the field will be ruined.

[Sisco]

"I'll attack pumpkinface C, from the front row."

[Fred Fred Burger]

I will stand in the first row, and I will target pumpkin Face A.

[Tamamono]

"I'll attack Pumpkinface C from the back row."

[Peppermint_M]

I will target pumpkinface A from the front row

[Fred Fred Burger]

Next person to attack should attack pumpkinface B so they don't get any extra attacks:thumbup:(where's our beloved party leader when we need him:tongue:).

[Brickdoctor]

Order of Action is Knight Daggerfall, Knight Longbeard, Ranger Docken, Barbarian Hightribe, Rogue Islanti, and Cleric Tomas.

I'll take Pumpkinface B, from the back row.

[Fred Fred Burger]

OCC:Sandy how about for the rest off the quest the order of operation remains as Brickdocter just said unless otherwise stated, which will save time and allow us to continue with battles if the party leader is busy. That is of course only if you have no objections and our party leader agrees to it.

[Sandy]

~Note: Since Lego Pinocchio is taking a break currently, I'm choosing his actions for him until he gets back.~

Party Leader, how will the spoils of the battle be divided?

3 x Tonic (Restores 5 ether to the target.)

OCC:Sandy how about for the rest off the quest the order of operation remains as Brickdocter just said unless otherwise stated, which will save time and allow us to continue with battles if the party leader is busy. That is of course only if you have no objections and our party leader agrees to it.

~The Party Leader will still have to choose their own target, so there really is no time saved by skipping the order of action input.~
