Endgame

QM Note: No, you aren't supposed to be like that. My mistake. I'll move this along and post the final party when everyone gets a chance to gear up.

"I'll target the Fantome again from the back row, hopefully my next mug will kill his little lackey. Nagure, Mcency, take the Dark Croise. I'll take another cannonball. Order: Mcency Nagure Fantome"

"Here *wheeze* I gowwwwyrrhghghghghghuuurglelelelleleghgh..." Punii leaps into the Fountain. At first his jump appears graceful, but he is suddenly sucked down the drain. Minutes pass. The party twiddles their thumbs and paces nervously, wondering what fate may befall the little yellow chap. Galen, his eyes on the window, suddenly sees a door creak open... and a soaked Punii slips in! He scurries across the tiled floor and heads to the door... where he detonates a bomb, blasting the door off. The charred door falls over, and a triumphant Punii stands behind it. "Backside of the door *wheeze* was iced over too, so I blew it up. We should probably prepare before we head deeper *cough* into the bank..."

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist Jellies: Green x2, Blue x1

"Huh. I'm pretty sure those tubes lead to a giant basin of water. Ayla had that *cough* thing installed because people would throw gold in there and we *wheeze* wanted to reap the benefits. And now, flooding the bank probably isn't a *wheeze* good idea! First of all, I live there. Second, that'll alert Rhodus. Third, what if Ayla is down there and she got hurt? With that little *wheeze* rant aside (sorry ) shall I head down the tubes?"

Looking over Punii, Sylph sees the water feeds into some tubes that seem to feed underneath the Commerz Bank.

Hearing Lycan's proclamation, Punii gets on the fountain's edge and looks at his reflection. What he sees is a small yellow creature covered in dirt and dust. "I really should *wheeze* take a bath, but probably not in here..."

Elgar attempts to lightning a hole through the wall, but it is to no avail. Putting his hand on the wall, Sylph can tell the entire building was coated in a thin layer of ethereal ice. The nearby fountain gurgles...

Lycan runs, roaring like a madman (madwolf, rather) and slams his hairy body into the door. He slumps down lamely, his attempt a fialure. he pulls out a sword and swings at the hinges. Th sword bounces off, and Lycan notices there is an ethereal ice coating the hinges.

QM Note: How, exactly, will you smash the door down?

Being careful to step over the dead, crippled, and disfigured Proggs, the party proceeds to the Commerz Bank. Squeezing through a gap in the bleachers, Punii leads them down a twisty path. They soon find themselves outside the Commerz Bank. What will the party do?

I believe when a player flees, they cannot come back if any other hero is in the battle. likewise, i think smoke bomb is a party-wide thing regardless if any heroes still want to duke it out.

Wow, Sylph, that is just cold. Great look into Sylph's mind, through.

"Ayla. *wheeze* her name is Ayla." Punii seems a tiny bit irked about you mispronouncing his adoptive mother's name...

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist Jellies: Green x2, Blue x2, Red x1 "I can only mix jellies in the thick of battle. Must be a defense mechanism..." Sylph flips through the journal and picks out a few key passages. Entry 01 Oh god help me. My first mission is going to be none other then the overthrowing of our own creators. I can't do it... Can I? Rhodus taught me how to spar well enough, but I've never actually been in the field before. They made us, so it would stand to reason they'd be pretty tough... Entry 02 It's over. We're free. All of us... all Proggs... free! Oh, it was glorious. I've never felt the thrill of the kill before. I bulldozed through them, their pitiful little spells just bouncing off of me. Skewering them, one after another after another... Sweet, sweet payback. Some blood splashed into my mouth during the entire thing. I think I'm developing a taste. Entry 04 Forget acquiring a taste. Blood is delicious. Entry 17 Rhodus has picked me to be part of the Royal's personal task force: the Gladius Unit! I think I've already gotten my pseudonym ready for my induction ceremony, too: The Bleeding. Entry 885 So, we're finally moving off this frigid dump and finally conquering greener pastures. Or should I say Luosher pastures, eh? I make myself laugh. QM Note: I'll move the quest on soon, got to build the next set.

Okay, 32 targets.

And you're on the finale, too. Compared to most plotlines, The Progg's plotline is relatively small compared to Haroka, Wren, etc. Just two quests, really.

"That's better, I thought my stats just went *poof* for a second there. Anyway, Mcency. you target The man with the Golden Handcannon. There is a 50/50 chance that you'll hit one of us instead of me, so your chances of getting blasted are slim. Nagure, you go for Dark Croise. rip him a new one. I'll get the Fantome from the front row. Fisticuff Order: Sorrow Nagure Mcency."

"Hey, voice in sky! Where'd we go?!"

Good to have you on board, captain!

QM Note: Rhodus escaped with Ayla, she is not currently with you.

"Please don't *wheeze* remind me of the broom. Uuugh. Well, just up ahead is the Commerz bank. Rhodus is a lover of sadism and irony, so maybe there...?"

Whew! 32 enemies dead in one battle? is that a record?

QM Note: You guys are waaayyy too lucky with Punii. Did any of you give him a nostrum while I wasn't looking? Round Thirteen of the Rally Battle >Punii mixes unlike jellies: 6 is rolled: 40 damage to all enemies, disregarding SP! >Galen VS Progg Z: Critical Hit (8x2=16+12=28x2=56-2=54 damage) >Johon VS The Bleeding: Critical Hit (8x3=24+19=43-6=37 damage) >Elgar VS The Bleeding (back): Damage (Too blind to do anything) >Elgar VS The Bleeding (back): Hit (17+11=28-6=22 damage) >Isabella VS The Bleeding (front): Critical Hit (8x2=16+14=30-6-6=18 damage) >Lycan VS Progg Y (front): Miss >Sylph blinds The Bleeding: Success! >Sylph VS The Bleeding (back): Critical Hit (7x2+17=31-6=25 damage, 1 gold earned) Punii slushes together too jellies, sending out a back-breaking boom. One of the Progg's is left ashen and incinierated by the blast, while the other one hangs on for dear life. galen quickly disposes of the last normal Progg, and the party shifts their attention to The Bleeding. They land a barrage of attacks on the blinded progg. Sylph blinds him yet again. "You... No... not here! Doomed by an arcane sheet of paper...?! I'll... I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" The Bleeding, Level 23 Beast *Blinded (3 rounds)* *Badly Poisoned!* HP: 79/635 SP: 6 Specials: Vampiric Cravings: Cuts open 3 random heroes, making them begin to Gush Blood. he proceeds to also drink it, restoring 75 HP.

Galen mugs The Bleeding, leaving him panting and gasping for breath. With a barbaric shout, a mighty leap, and a powerful swing, Johon slams his sword into the skull of The Bleeding. The beast rolls over onto it's side, bloodied, bruised, and defeated. The Bleeding pathetically tries to lick up is own blood as a final comfort before his death, but spits it out. "...It has come to this, hasn't it...? 853 years... and I'm going to perish at the hands of these.... things. All because one of them knew how to read a magic piece of paper. Hahh. Haaah. Haaaaaah. Look around you, "heroes." Roughly 32 Proggs here dead. Is extinguishing life like that make you feel better about yourselves? The weak are conquered and consumed. Life and nature dictate this. Why stand in our way...? Still, I find it kind of funny. 1,415 Proggs left to go...! Heh... Heh... Heh..." Sylph raises his merry bow and lets one last arrow fly loose. It sails right through the gap in the pathetic creature's face grid and kills it. His eyes roll up in his head and stop glowing. The beast's shall cracks open and falls to pieces from the abuse. All that was left of the soldier was his fleshy, slug-like black remains. Was this what all Proggs look like without their shells? The Battle has finally been won! All heroes regain their respective amounts of EXP. Party Leader, how will the loot be divided? 510 gold! Journal Of The Bleeding: The Bleeding's personal journal. Mead x3 Grand Tonic x2 The Bleeding's Hide: A bloodstained hide that belonge dot the now deceased The Bleeding. Weathered, but still in good condition. The wearer restores 10 HP and 5 ether for every enemy the wearer kills. Suitable for anyone, backwear. Sword Fragment: A sword hilt. Currently useless. QM Note: That came out to way more gold then I thought it would. Whoops. Also, since isabella has not contributed to the quest at all... With the slaughter over with, isabella falls to her knees. Feeling her forehead, the party deduces she has a nasty fever. Sylph calls up The Roots of Healing to remedy it, but not even they could fix up Isbella. Punii scampers back to the Town hall and summons Hal. "...This isn't a place where your friend can be sick. Having someone like that here, of all places, is dangerous. I'll escort her back and get another hero. You hold down the fort for a few hours. I'm going to have to break a few speed limits..." 4 hours later, Alexander stands with the party!
