Kintobor

Suggested battle order: Hoang Anh vs. Richard- Hit (4+3=7 damage) >Darksten vs. Sully- Shield (6+4=10 damage to all opponents) Kianu vs. Richard- Damage >Deus vs. Honest John-Shield Hoang Anh finally gets his head in the game and strike the werelion across the chest, sending him back. As Kianu and Deus both prepare their strikes Darksten steps in and with three successive strikes sends the remaining three highway men to their knees as they collapse together on the dusty road. The party had managed to stand their ground, and to show it, they knew that... THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!! All party members receive a level of experience!

A beat up scruffy tricorne hat. +1 SP) Party Leader, please distribute the loot. The party loots through the unconscious bodies of the four highwaymen. They wouldn't be waking up for a while. As they do so, Kianu stands back, moving about anxiously. "I just thought I'd say that you guys were awesome! When you, Darksten moved up to smack that halfling with that arrow, and when you Deus fired off those three arrows, and Hoang, you and your resilience! You guys are so cool!" A looming shadow crawls it's way through the forest. Kianu shifts around, looking beyond the mountain range past the fields. "Yeesh, it's getting late. We best get moving and find a place to sleep. If luck's on our side we may hit an inn and sleep their for the night. Why don't you guys divi up the loot and then we'll keep moving. You guys can do what you want with those four." She lightly kicks Honest John in the stomach, looking angered. OOC: Once the loots been divided I'll move you to your next location.

Don't do that, CMP! He may transform into the Red Ring of Death!

I think I got it. RainbowDash The Regret may hate all humaniods, but candy coloured equines are totally fine in his book.

The players actually become diagnosed with Endgame Syndrome. The party's stats change once they've hit half health, they betray the party, and they all turn into androids.

OOC: I can give you and Darksten some time to talk if you need to finalize your plan.

It's also immune to all types of magic, so there's not a whole lot you can do.

Usually. I've allowed it, and so has Endgame. Hell, the only reason the party of 79 succeed the quest was through a whole tree of conditional actions.

Kianu blushes immensely from Darksten's praise. "Oh, heh heh, it's nothing that special, really... just doing my fair share of the work..." Kianu's face still blushes a bright red as she tries to focus back on the fight.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere!

Only now do I realize the irony in that my newbie quest is #101.

Oh great, more spooky palaces. It's the Riddle Tower, guys. Better put your thinking caps on.

"We can deal with Djinnifer later, right now we can at least attempt to take this demon down." Karie strikes the Bagpipes from the back row.

OOC: Switched the die, and it seems we've gotten better results from it. Suggested battle order: Hoang Anh vs. Richard Lionhart- Miss Darksten vs. Sully the Stabber- Hit (6+4=10 damage) Kianu vs. Paula Madoka- Crit. (4x2+3=11 damage KO!) >Deus Spiranius vs. Honest John- Damage (3/2=1 damage) The dice goddess smiles upon the party, although not at first. Hoang Anh continues to miss his target, Richard beginning to taunt him. Darksten decides to move closer to his target, and smacks Sully right in the arm with an arrow. Kianu manages to miss Paula's magic burst only to swiftly smash her tree branch across Paula's side, sending her unconsciously to the ground. Deus fires an arrow, hoping to hit the once polite conman, only for his aim to go askew. Leaving Honest John the opening he needs, John nicks Deus in the stomach. The battle continues, the party's odds shifting in their favour... "Ack! Stay back!"

Everyone else, please choose an action.

I'd also ask does the demon's lucky effect affect Syrio and Karie's Nimble?

I think he's hoping the Goddess of Dice and Chance will smile upon him taking a risk and doing something different.

OOC: You don't appear to be. Also, don't even worry about casting spells, you're wasting your ether. The demons are immune to negative effects.

Karie thinks about her words carefully. Something about Djinnifer's wishes seems... curious. "I doubt she'd go with either. Djinnifer's asked on both occasions to have companionship. I doubt she'd turn my skin white since it doesn't line up with her other requests, and making me forget someone doesn't sound like something she herself would condone. She's lonely and wants companionship. And the only person able to do that... is knocked out." "Eh... sorry, Djinnifer." Karie blushes before regaining her posture. "Well, why don't we speculate? Say I became the master of the lamp? What wish would you want me to fulfill?"

"Heckz, if you're not up to dealing with the genie, I'll take a shot at it." Karie coughs. "So, Djennifer, if I wanted one of those wishes instead of that fop, what would I need to give you in return?"

Karie bursts open the doors to the music room only to cover her ears. "Oh god, that- that noise! It's actually hurting the musical theatre part of my talent! I can freaking feel it!" Karie turns to see Heckz with Djeniffer. "If you're going to do something with her, please do it now!"

OOC: If this keeps up I'll switch dies. I'm not out to kill you, I swear! "You should've been more careful, ranger! There's a reason they call me Sully the Stabber! Now get closer so I can gut you like a pig!" The halfling lets out a deranged laugh.

OOC: My die must be loaded or something. Suggested battle order: Hoang Anh vs. Richard Lionhart- Miss >Darksten vs. Sully the Stabber- Damage (4/2-2=0) Kianu vs. Paula Madoka- Miss >Deus Spiranius vs. Honest John- Crit. (3x2+1=7 damage) The round doesn't go to well for the party. Hoang and Kianu miss their targets, and if it weren't for Darksten's cape, Sully might of drawn blood. Deus continues on his success with another strike to Honest John, the conman beginning to slow down. The battle continues... "Remove your cape, ranger!"

OOC: You're allowed one action in a round, (with the exception of when you're hastened, which I doubt we'll get to this quest) so using an item is an action. You can change it up to the point where I post the round, so if you want to change your action, you totally can at this point. Good to see you're sticking around!

OOC: Lego Spy, it's important that you at least update once a day. If you don't update within a certain amount of time, I have the ability to kick you from the quest, and I know you were on yesterday. Don't make me do this on your first quest, because it looks bad in your case when other QM's see you don't at least give a brief update. If you're having trouble with the battle mechanics, either ask them here or drop me a PM. Also, yeesh. Not a good first round. Nothing you guys can't recover from! Battle Order: Hoang Anh vs. Sully the Stabber- Miss >Darksten vs. Richard Lionhart- Special Damage (2 damage to Kianu, 1 damage to Deus) Kianu vs. Paula Madoka- Miss >Deus Spiranius vs. Honest John- Shield (3+2=5 damage to Honest John, Paula, and Richard) The party stumbles during it's first round as Hoang and Kianu both miss their targets, but Darksten manages to unleash Richard's wrath. He strikes both Kianu and Deus, mauling them. However Deus manages to retaliate with three precise shots to three of the thieves. Kianu clutches her shoulder. "Crud this hurts like hell! Is this part of your job? Getting tossed around a lot?" The battle continues... "I'll get you next time, knight!"

Everyone else, please choose an action.

QM Note: Here's the official ruling on Stunned when dealing with enemies. You could leave Sully this round and not worry about a free hit, or Hoang could attack him and if he rolls Damage or Special Damage not take the damage he would receive. However, if he rolls anything else, Sully becomes un-stunned. So in all honesty, it's not a bad idea to strike Sully this round. In the end, it is up to you guys though. Just my two cents. Also, if Deus doesn't post in time, I'll need an action from him.
