Heroica RPG - Quest #97: Infestation
Comrade Commander replied to Endgame's topic in The Heroica Archive
As the bugs jabber on, Darksten stands still and looks around the room for any items that may be of use. He didn't know much about what was being discussed, and nor did he have much patience for an argument like this. He reaches over and pick ups the dice, turning them over in his hands, before pocketing them. "I'm sorry, did you just tell me to shh?" With that, Darksten crushes the bugs that had insulted him. As he moves behind the next pile of bugs, the party of humans moves closer to the table. Each with a lump of insects before them. "How would the rest of you like to play another game?"- 237 replies

As the party moves into the room, each member positions themselves within striking range of the gaming insects. Darksten speaks up as the group gets in place... "Good evening folks, what game are we playing here?" As he speaks, he looks over the papers laying on the table- 237 replies

Brethren of the Brick Seas?
Comrade Commander replied to Admiral Croissant's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Awesome! That is great news! I am looking forward to this kicking off! (Is there anyway the rest of us can still help/be involved?) -

Darksten waits for any inputs, but hearing none, he motions for the group to follow him up the stairs and through the door "We should finish up upstairs before working our way down" The ranger says OOC: Thanks for the clarifications!- 237 replies

"alright gents, we know there are more bugs left downstairs (I believe access is under the stairs) but there are two locations left unexplored up here. One is the top of the stairs, and the other is past the door to the right and through the door behind all the crates. Any suggestions? I for one prefer to finish up here before going down stairs." Darksten says. Ooc: can you confirm my geography is correct please?- 237 replies

Darksten looks around the foyer, trying to get his bearing Ooc: of the three doors visible, what ones have we used? When we were last in here we "went to the right" which is a door off screen I assume. Since we came in here from the kitchen, I believe we came in from the ground floor door on the left. This leaves the door at the top of the stairs, and the opening under the stairs, correct?- 237 replies

"Your a good man Crowley." Darksten says to the cleric "Since time is still ticking, and we are racing the storm, I think it's best we get moving so they have a place to stay." Darksten looks around the room for any unchecked hiding spots, and any doors the party has not gone through already- 237 replies

"Hmm, I am all for second chances, but one needs to be humble enough to admit when they have made mistakes. People should always be working to improve themselves, as well as the people around them. Hopefully they see that soon..." Darksten can't help but think at the same time.. "I hope they still plan on paying for this expedition..." But then he asks... "What made you stay around after you found all this out?"- 237 replies

This is a good diorama. I like how you mixed all the Lego Western sets in such a way that they all fit well together. This is especially impressive considering the cartoonish nature of the Toy Story sets. I also liked how you took known sets and expanded/tweaked them to make them unique. Well done! My one, minor, critique is that I feel that a waterfall of that size would warrant more of a river at the bottom. It seems to just abruptly end...

Darksten looks at the slaughtered worms, and then begins moving about the kitchen collecting the loot. He hands Crowley 15 gold, and 1x Grand Potion "You best be holding onto these in the event we need to use them in a hurry later" He looks over at Hoang Anh, the young knight was standing quietly in the corner. It appeared to Darksten that the kid was taking this adventure hard. These must have been the first kills for his virgin blade. Darksten was also sure that the worm's icy sleep had left a mark Hoang had yet to fully recover from. "I do not want him to have a sharper sword with which he could hurt himself" Darksten thinks "and he is already equipped with enough potions. So I might as well keep hold of these for the time being, and see how he feels later" He then turns to back to Crowley as the Cleric begins to speak "I am not too familiar with the situation here, I simply showed up where Heroica sent me. What more do you know? Perhaps we could take a breather for a minute and you can explain as you heal Hoang Anh's wounds"- 237 replies

"Your code of war involves stealing land from the innocent, and then robbing their pantry of their meager survival supplies? Even amongst your own kind you showed greed as you took double the amount of your followers, thinking only of your own lust. Now, as the end of the battle nears, you only look for ways to escape and feed your own gluttony. You have fought well, but a true leader would ration themselves, look after their followers, and admit defeat when it stares them in the face" Darksten says as he loads an arrow and points it at the white worm. Meanwhile, he quietly signals his companions to move into position If required, Order of battle Hoang Anh (Suggest he use potion on Crowley) Crowley (After being healed, Suggest Attack Frostbarb from Front) Darksten (Attack Frostbarb from Back)- 237 replies

Ok roger. Please don't interpret my last as trying to rush you. I am enjoying myself and have liked the quest so far! I am in for the long haul so do what you had planned from the start.

Thanks. I want him to be involved, but I also don't want to keep waiting around for nothing and then miss the next quest that is available for the "new" heroes coming out of #90

There isn't one. But Darksten likes to think of himself as one since he views himself as senior to Hoang Anh, and the NPC is by default below Darksten (in his mind) since Darksten saved him. Add into that the rolls Darksten has been getting (vs his companions rolls) tend to be better which only inflates his perception of superiority. Finally, I am really only playing vs the quest/Endgame since Hoang is inactive most of the time... so really it just ends up being what I suggest. (I am really looking forward to an active party next quest...)

Darksten eyes the silent knight, and then the dwindling pantry supplies. His mind racing to formulate a plan "Tell me Worm, what more do you have reign over? We already defeated the other worms, and thus I sense your remaining control is very limited. Your story of the ants clearly indicates that there are different factions at play here, so it might be better for us to make an example of you. Besides, where would you go off to? You too can see that there is not much food left here. It would be counter-productive for us to let you go, only for you to set up shop in the next hovel over."- 237 replies

"and then there was one..." Darksten thinks to himself as his arrow finishes off his target. "We have to defend that pantry! No more waiting around."

As Darksten draws his next shot, he sees the knight get stabbed by the icy spines of the crazed worm. He quickly shifts his aim towards frostbarb in an effort to help the fallen knight, but his shot fails to connect with its target. With a sigh, Darksten looses some of the confidence he had gained from the six rapid fire strikes previously. But he continues on... "Crowley, could you wake that knight up by using your remedy on him? See if you can get him to continue his fight with their leader. I will try to hold off the other worm" Suggested battle order Crowley: Suggest Remedy on Hoang Anh from back Hoang Anh: Suggest he attack Frostbarb once awoken Darksten: Attack Frost Worm A from Back- 237 replies

Darksten grumbles as he has to pick up the load for his party. His arrows pierce there targets, and he shifts to another worm "Hoang, we cannot wait for you to finish him off if that thing is going to keep eating. Say the word and we will jump in" Darksten and Crowley attack worm A from back (repeat battle order). Unless Hoang Anh requests help (or doesn't respond), then Darksten shifts to Frostbarb.- 237 replies

Ooc: ah ok. I had misinterpreted the rule and read it slightly differently. Since I had attacked C, I thought the next two would move to the top of the list and thus frostbarb and worm a. Thanks for the clarification! The free hit makes sense too as I was already accounting for that even with the triple shot, just didn't see it my first look through- 237 replies

"Worm, it will be you who will fall to our feet." Darksten replies "More specifically, fall under them as we squish you" ooc: endgame, I think we were both editing our posts at the same time. I have now changed my previous ooc comment to reflect triple shot question and not the original free hit (whose answer I had either missed the first time or you edited while I was typing)... Haha- 237 replies

"You fool, you just cost us needed time!" Darksten shouts, the adrenaline of battle starting to flow through him "Crowley needs to take full advantage of his powers while he can. Given his strength he can absorb more hits than I, and with his elemental damage he can pack more punch than you ...if given the opportunity to get in close. We could have had more of an advantage by now if you hadn't restrained him! Let him fight close, and if he takes hits he can step back and heal himself" Darksten shakes his head and wonders if he was like this young knight when he was at that age. But he tries to push it aside as he lets another bolt fly at the slow moving worm Repeat Ooc: also, shouldn't Frostbarb be at 5hp and winter worm A be knocked out from my triple shot?- 237 replies

"Hoang Anh, are you going to take that challenge? ...cause clearly someone needs to keep his ego occupied" Darksten says as he moves to position himself to defend the pantry. As he does, he hears a faint clincking that draws his eyes the slow moving worm that seems to be weighed down by a mass of objects in his stomach. "Easy pickings" Darksten thinks to himself as he lets a bolt fly at the slimy creature ATTACK WINTER WORM C FROM THE BACK Suggested battle order: Hoang Anh Crowley (Suggest: Winter Worm A from the front) Darksten OOC: If I am understanding this right, Hoang Anh's power should be six (6) because he has a sword with WP: 4 and is level 2 right?- 237 replies

Darksten hears the bugs and swings his crossbow around so that he has a clear shot on the insects "What right do you have to claim this area as yours?" Meanwhile Crowley joins the group and passes a potion to the knight, and a remedy to the ranger, keeping the tonic for himself- 237 replies
