Round Five of the Battle With The Tentacled Terror >Punii whimpers and wheezes >Sylph heals Aquos (back): No heal Greater Heal (9x2=18+19=37 HP healed) >Sylph heals Galen (back): Lesser heal Heal (9+19=28 HP healed) >Alex heals himself (back): No heal Heal (10+18=28 HP healed) >Galen revives Johon (back) >Johon revives Lycan (back) >Lycan uses a potion on Elgar (back): 10 HP healed! >Galen VS Right Tentacle A (front): Special Damage Shield: Mug (10x3=30+15=45x2=90-2=88 damage, 88 gold earned) >Elgar VS Left Tentacle A (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (11x2=18+20=38x2=76-2=74 damage) The battle rages on, the party using the brief lull in the battle to heal thesmelves back up. With all of their party members revived, Galen lashes at one of the tentacles with his whip. He is soon outdone by Elgar, who, with a mighty ball of ice, blows one tentacle clean off. The severed tentacle, even when seperated from its master, flops around wildly, spasming and convulsing. Aquos still remains calm, only slightly annoyed by this development. Aquos submerges his remaining tentacle and rises up with 4 slightly battered ones. "That was very naughty of you, heroes!" Aquos, Level 28 Beast *Counterstriking!* HP: 1055/1100 SP: 22 Ether: 20/30 Specials: 1-2: Tentacle Lash: Does 28 damage to the hero who rolled Special Damage. The heroes above and below him in the battle order take 14 damage. 3-4: Ruckus: The sound of Aquos's tentacles clapping shakes loose some stalagmites, causing them to fall on top of the party. All heroes take 11 damage, disregarding SP. 5-6: Rhythmic Rampage: Grabs the hero who rolled Special Damage with his tentacles and slams him into all of his party members. The entire party (including the hero who rolled Special Damage) takes damage equal to that Party Member's power. 7-8: Catastrophe Cacophony: Nullifies all of the party's positive effects, and does 28 damage to the hero who rolled Special Damage. 0: Tail Swing: With a swing of his monstrous tail, Aquos does 18 damage to the entire party. Every party member has a 1/2 chance of being stunned for one round. (Can be remedied or removed for 5 ether.) Note: Aquos's specials are not randomized! The numbers before each special is how many tentacles Aquos must have up for him to use it. For example, if he has 5 tentacles revealed, he will always use Rhythmic Rampage. He will only ever use Tail Swing when he has no tentacle revealed. Passive Specials: Tentacle Guard: As long as Aquos has 1 tentacle up, he will be counterstriking. Ethereal Immunity: Aquos is immune to all scrolls. SP Constant: Aquos's SP can only be lowered by destroying his tentacles, and nothing else. Each tentacle destroyed drops his SP by 2. Hanging on a Thread: Aquos can have a minimum of 1 HP when he still has tentacles active! All of his tentacles must be destroyed before Aquos himself can be. When Aquos dies, the battle is won. Drops: Peculiar Egg, Garnet Left Tentacle B, Level 19 Beast *Badly Poisoned!* HP: 142/250 SP: 1 Specials: Musical Mugging: Perfectly aligned with the beat, the tentacle slaps the hero who rolled special damage, stealing gold and doing damage equal to the hero's WP + SP. Stone Spike: Uses 4 of Aquos's ether to raise a spike of stone from the ground, doing 9 damage to the entire party, disregarding SP. If no ether left, nothing happens. Specials decided by die roll. Immune to Blindness and Sleep! Drops: 30 gold, potion. Note: When defeated, does an automatic 45 damage to Aquos and drops his SP by 2. Left Tentacle C, Level 20 Beast HP: 108/250 SP: 2 Specials: Musical Mugging: Perfectly aligned with the beat, the tentacle slaps the hero who rolled special damage, stealing gold and doing damage equal to the hero's WP + SP.

"I have prepared an entire crowd to point and laugh at you when that time comes. And it will be hilarious."

QM Note: Sylph, Phoenix Essences revive you with full health. Please adjust accordingly.

I murmur back. "I'm not sure what I am. For all I know, I may be an undead elf. And since healing doesn't seem to be harmful to me, I seem to be stuck in some sort of limbo: the appearance of the undead and the interior of a living person. Amazing how skin makes all the difference..."

Aquos yawns and continues to pound both of his two tentacles on Lycan as if he was a drum. QM Note: Knocked out means knocked out.

"Oh. I wasn't thorough enough..." Aquos slams both of his tentacles on Lycan's prone body.

Round Four of the Battle With The Tentacled Terror >Alex VS Left Tentacle A (front): Hit Critical Hit (10x2=20+17=37 damage) >Punii begins bawling >Slyph heals Aquos (back): Lesser heal Greater heal (9x2=18+19=37 HP healed, 1 ether lost) >Sylph VS Right Tentacle B (back): Hit Critical Hit (9x2=18+19=37-2=35 damage, -1 SP) >Galen VS Left Tentacle B (back): Miss Critical Hit (10x2=20+15=35x2=70/2=35-2=33 damage) >Galen VS Hostage Tentacle (back): Special Damage Special Damage (Rockslide: 13 damage to entire party, disregarding SP) >Lycan VS Right Tentacle C (back): >Elgar VS Left Tentacle C (back): Aim Aim (20-2=18 damage) >Johon VS Big Tentacle (front): >Right tentacle A: free hit on Alex: (18-13=5 damage) >Right tentacle C: free hit on Sylph: (20/2=10 damage) >Big tentacle: free hit on Galen: (23/2=12-1=11 damage) The round against Aquo's full arsenal proves to be disastrous for the heroes. they deal steady damage to the slimy appendages, but Aquos decides a new tactic is in order. Waving the big tentacle in the air above him, he slams it into the ground. Boulders split off from the ground and are then hurled at the party, downing Johon and Lycan. The untargetted tentacle scores a cheap shot on Alex, grabbing him by the ankle and sending him skidding across the floor. Another tentacle lashes out at Sylph, while galen finds himself getting jabbed by a particularly large tentacle. As Sylph predicts, Aquos submerges 6 of his tentacles back into the water, leaving only 2 to deal with. the situation was bleak, but was this brief lull in the battle just what the party needed? "Don't worry, The Regret will esnure you safe passage into the afterlife."

"Werewolf, rat, really, what is the difference? They are both just hairy little cowards. Oh, and come now, you are just generalizing for the sake of ticking me off - I believe "hit everything with your tentacles" has been effective thus far. I will admit, my first 100 years were torture for those around me. I was having tantrums, going into fits of rage, furious over my little plight. But there is only so much rage one being can hold, and it eventually it just seeped out of me, like sap from a tree. Angering me is no easy feat now, druid." QM Note: I'll run a round or two this afternoon.

A what?

...Holy cow! That is a lot of LEGO. I've decided that, since orange is my least favorite color, and the sets they come in are a bit too pricey/don't appeal (Obliterator and Summer Mech, respectively) I'll be focusing on just Red, Blue, and Green teams: and any duplicates I get from Summer wave I'll just do some head-swapping.

"1 more helper is better than none. We may be able to wipe the floor with Sorona yet. To the armory, I suppose."

"We are brothers. I taught him. Well, you are hairy like one, you are cowardly like one, and you are as weak and pathetic as one! Nobody needs sight to see that you are, in fact, a rat."

"Running away like the cowardly little rat you are! Delectable!"

QM Note: I fixed a typo regarding the use of Aquos's "0" special, Tail Swing: if he has no tentacles up, he will use it. Not all 8 tentacles have to be killed for him to use it. Round Three of the Battle With The Tentacled Terror >Punii whimpers softly, about to cry >Sylph heals Aquos (back): No heal Heal >Alex VS Left Tentacle C (front): Special Damage Critical Hit (10x2=20+17=38 damage, Badly Poisoned transferred) >Galen VS Right Tentacle C (back): Shield Shield: Mug (10x3=30+15=45x2=90/2=45-2=43 damage, 43 gold earned) >Sylph heals Johon (back): No heal Lesser Heal (19 HP healed) >Galen VS Hostage Tentacle (back): Miss Hit (10+15=25x2=50/2=25-3=22 damage) >Lycan VS Right Tentacle A (back): Critical Hit Shield: Mug (14x3=42+12=54X2=108/2=54-2=52 damage, 52 gold earned, Badly Poisoned transferred) >Elgar VS Left Tentacle A (back): Hit Critical Hit (11x2=22+20=42x2=84-2=82 damage) >Johon VS Big tentacle (front): Damage Damage (23-6=17 damage) the battle rages on. The group's luck increases exponentially against the 8-armed Aquos, slashing and stabbing at his slimy tentacles. After recieving a harsh ball of ice from Elgar, Aquos goes into a tranquil rages. Smashing one of his larger tentacles into Johon's head, all 6 tentacles go underwater... only for all 8 to come out! Aquos was now at his most powerful, his clapping shaking the entire grotto and forcing the party to cover their ears - one misstep and the party's fate may be sealed at this crucial stage. "Die, all of you!" Aquos, Level 28 Beast *Counterstriking!* HP: 1100/1100 SP: 24 Ether: 26/30 Specials: 1-2: Tentacle Lash: Does 28 damage to the hero who rolled Special Damage.

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist *Hostage!* Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1

I stagger up to my feet. "Hello Hlin, long time no see. Went off to do some adventuring, eh?"

"I have the wounds to prove it! My ribcage became concave from the entire fiasco..."

"Nerwen... let me put it simply. I got an ether core. Sure, I can resell it later, but... I once got crushed by 2 or 3 tons of these. Several thousand ether cores just dropped from no where and fell on me. I am serious. And now... Father Grogmas gives me one as a gift?! Some higher being is laughing at me, I swear..."

QM Note: ...Derp. I r smurt. Also, I apologize for these rolls, but they are legitimate. I'll be switching out dice soon... Round Two of the Battle With The Tentacled Terror >Punii resigns to his fate >Alex uses Mercuito's Blessing on Sword of the Elven Blade Master (back) >Sylph heals Aquos (back): Heal Heal More (9x2=18+19+37 HP healed) >Sylph VS Right tentacle B (back): Damage Critical Hit (9x2=18+19=37-2=35 damage, -1 SP, Poisoned) >Elgar VS Left Tentacle B (back): Special damage Special Damage (Musical Mugging: 11+6=17 gold lost, 17/2=9-6=3 damage) >Galen takes a Mead (back) >Galen VS Left Tentacle C (back): Special damage Critical Hit (10x2=20+15=35x2=70-2=68 damage >Lycan uses a Nostrum on Johon (back): >Johon VS Right tentacle C (front): Special damage Damage (20-6=14 damage) The battle rages on, the tentacled beast launching a more powerful assault. The party's pride swells at the sight of their grogmas gifts, but will it be their undoing? Alex enchants his blade while Sylph heals Aquos, confusing him further. taking advantage of this brief bafflement, Sylph sinks an arrow into one of the prince's tentacles. Elgar gets mugged while draing his bow, the tentacle stealing some gold then jabbing into his stomache. Galen takes a mead in preparation then lashes out at one of the tentacles, the tentacle recoling after being whipped by Galen. Lycan shoves a nostrum down Johon's throat, but it doesn't seem to do much good, as the Raider is quickly smacked back by one of aquos's more burly tentacles. Two tentacles go back into the water... only 4 more of them to emerge! One of them holds a struggling Punii. 2 tentacles look larger then the others, the most formidable of the bunch. They all clap above aquos's head, the beast quickly arranging the puzzle of sounds he was broadcasting in his mind. With 2 more tentacles in the mix, the beat was getting more rapid and frantic... "Give up, it'll make it easier for you fools in the end."
