Heroica RPG - Quest #127: A Light in the Darkness
Chromeknight replied to Zepher's topic in The Heroica Archive
Nerwen hears Kiray muttering to herself. You're the knight Kiray, this calls for diplomacy. More than that, you're young and human. As the witch has already pointed out, elves are often too set in their ways to be the right kind of crazy fun, Grimwald is old for a gnome and may be close to his end. The Monk is, if you believe him, even older than me, which makes him both more set in his ways and even closer to his end. But you, you've got a whole lifetime ahead of you to be crazy fun in... Nerwen draws breath, her reply ringing with diplomacy. Yes. Simon is crazy and fun. For now. But he is beaten. If the darkness was not here, he would have fallen by now. He is enpeesy, not fit to lead the order, no matter how many times he is blessed. You have already suggested the order will move on without him and that you do not care if he wins or not. Like Simon, Yu Shu has lost a sibling. She will be just as passionate about rooting out the reminants of the order as Simon would have been crushing the warrior priests. But beyond that you have the golden crusade, buoyed by success, by marred by Mitchell's loss. Who knows what they will do. You have Avery, undead assassin with motivations of her own now. And you have heroica, despite the veterans boring blessing, one of the greater forces of love, hate, war, passion and change. If this battle does not end cleanly you'll find it much harder to meddle with heroes in the future. And think of all that passion going to waste, cooped up in the hall instead of running free in the world.- 607 replies

I didn't mean to have Grimwald do nothing, I was posting late at night. But then, he didn't choose a target either... Grimwald. The darkness is not a foe to be beaten back. It is not an evil thing of itself, just as light is not always good. Balance is the key. Use the darkness around you. Shape it and direct it. Nerwen draws out her battered wooden flute. The band of amethyst set into the body pulsing darkly in time with the roiling billows of murk. She plays a simple tune, improvising, concentrating and attempting to take power not from within but from the benighted air around her. With a discordant note, she casts what power she could gather downwards into the earth, grounding it out.- 607 replies

No I do not know her powers. I have seen her do nothing but make snide and cryptic comments. That does not mean that she is not powerful. I believe her when she says she could best anyone here. Only one who could do so would be so calm in the face of imprisonment, torture and captivity. But perhaps she can reach all the way into the realm of chance. Where the fickle breezes and zephyrs of fate play games with the lives of mortals. Surely some hand is against us. Were it not so, Grimwald's spellcraft would have prevailed by now. Suggested Battle Order Abel v. Kiray - heal Samuel v. Avery - heal Nerwen v. Party - Lucky Chant Grimwald v. Calm A - Darkness (Single Fang) Grimwald v.

Calm A should be cursed by Avery's dagger. Not that I expect it'll make any difference. Monk. I know your feelings about Marcellus. But do you think Grimwald is unworthy? Get him up. I will let the witch convince you regarding the yohdah.. Suggested Battle Order Pretzel v. Grimwald - Essence OR Party - Incense Abel v. Pretzel - heal Samuel v. Pretzel - heal Kiray v.

Suggested Battle Order Abel v. Grimwald - heal Samuel v . Grimwald THEN Pretzel - heal Marcellus v. Simon's Battle Angel - Whip Kiray v. Simon - Katana > Nerwen v. Stunned - recover > Nerwen v. Party - Lucky Chant > Grimwald v. Calm A - Darkness (Single Fang) > Grimwald v. Calm A THEN Calm B THEN Simon's Guardian - Darkness (Single Fang) > Avery v. Stunned - recover Avery v. Calm A THEN Calm B THEN Simon's Guardian - Dagger > Deborah v. Simon's Guardian - Crossbow > Pretzel v. IF Grimwald rolls no shields THEN (enemies -sleep bomb) ELSE Simon's Guardian - Flying broomstick The first shield Grimwald rolls KOs 8 enemies which would drastically change targeting for everyone else. But if he doesn't there'll be free hits galore. I think I've accounted for everything, sorry for all the conditionals Zeph!- 607 replies

LotN, let's wait until the first round is fixed and we can see how the board lies. But yes, you're on artillery duty, keep the bombardment up. Nerwen says, half to herself. The sun is for walking under, not staring into. Speaking to Monk, she says Dont waste your breath. He is a prophet. He has seen how this ends.- 607 replies

Hastened minstrel's song lasts until their second turn (if first turn was a song) or until the end of the round. Stunned makes a character take no action on their turn, but they still have a turn recovering from stunned. Minstrel songs will need a clarification now they're per target costed. Technically Marcellus and Kiray weren't targeted since they went before the song in the battle order, thus Nerwen spent 10E not 14. Kiray is now immune to blessed since she's wearing never-blessed armour. Also I forgot to task Abel, but since I've healed Kiray, it doesn't matter. Does Abel's healing remove debuffs? But the big thing is Grimwald is encouraged, throwing darkness at holy enemies, thus does [21+20+6]*2*2=188 damage to defensive A&B and Guardian A&B. KOing them all. Pretzel and Deborah's subsequent hits on the calm Angels also do damage. Free hits will also need recalculating and Kiray won't be stunned. Out of the corner of her eye, Nerwen sees Seraphiel nod in satisfaction. Well done Grimwald.- 607 replies

Sorry for the delay. I made a plan based on using Nanny's lullaby, then remembered Nerwen's forgotten it... Nerwen watches the Angels troop in. She spends a moment watching their circling, gaining a feel for who is protecting whom. Another angel shimmers faintly into sight at the edge of the battle. Seraphiel, with her hands behind her back, watching impassively. That one she says, pointing. That one is the key. Suggested Battle Order Marcellus v. Angry Angel A - Whip Kiray v. Simon's battle angel - Katana > Nerwen v. Self - Smelling Salts > Nerwen v. Party - Lucky Chant > Avery v. Self - Smelling Salts Avery v. Defensive angel A - Dagger > Grimwald v. Guardian Angel B - Darkness (Single Fang) > Grimwald v.Guardian Angel B if standing otherwise v. Calm Angel A- Darkness (Single Fang) > Pretzel v. Calm Angel B - Flying broomstick > Deborah v. Calm Angel A - Crossbow Samuel v. Simon's Guardian Angel - sword As always, the first round is scariest. If we get good rolls, we're set. If we get bad ones, we're stuffed...- 607 replies

In case you can't tell, I love diplomacy as a skill. I've ended battles with it, avoided them and started them. The key to QMing diplomacy is, if a player uses it (and they do need to say they're using it, make 'me work for it!), if a player uses it, let them know if it worked or not, preferably with some hint that further diplomacy might work, or it's a situation where it won't work at all or whatever.

Nerwen hands Kiray the never blessed armour and helmet and a mulled wine. Just because I know better than to play your games, I get tagged as a know it all. Don't be offended Monk, he seems to think greenskinness is a state of mind rather than literal colour of skin. And he hunks that's everyone but him.- 607 replies

[color#008080]I don't deny Ennoc's right to judge, but it is rare that he intervenes to bring judgment before death. And even rarer that he would act openly against the servant of another. Yet perhaps Avery belongs to neither Helvetia or the Red One any longer and he wishes to claim her for himself.[/color] Team, Samuel and Nerwen are still under etherwise, but everyone else seems good to go? Zeph expects consumable use to win, so be prepared to use stuff.- 607 replies

Nerwen doses Kiray and Monk with soma. That should hold some of the symptoms at bay. Yu Shu, Is that seal of the warrior priestess having any effect? Would tiger balm have any affect on Yu Shu's posion counter?- 607 replies

I believe you have the answer of the party. Yu Shu has our support. And Avery, whatever she has done here has been at Yu Shu's command. Whatever she has done elsewhere is not yet Ennoc's to judge. Before combat can we have an updated party stats please?- 607 replies

I take it you're aiming at something like A USRA 0-6-0. I thought it looked wrong because I've been looking at too many British designs, but what you've got going there is some good work!
