Heroica RPG - Quest #90: A Trip to the Circus
Chromeknight replied to Waterbrick Down's topic in The Heroica Archive
If the seal permanently granted effects, they'd pop back when revived. Does that mean I get another set of rolls to see if it works? Hoke catches a glimpse of Seraphael standing over Nerwen. The angel shakes her head once as Hoke looks toward her with an essence at hand. -
If you wanted Hoke, you should have been more open to the idea that the orcs needed stopping too rather than all rushing to face off against the kingdoms. From a battle perspective, Hoke is one of four people who can safely target Bastala and her 1hKO. And he's the only one on his side of the tower. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out who the other three are and which you'd swap for him.

Nor that it matters, since Tra-Serral still KO's me, but I changed my second target to Meld A when I posted my recentest battle order. Which would mean Hoke takes hits from Aep A and Kastrin B and Nerwen takes Tra-Serral only. Question. Can shields deflect damage from free hits? If so, did you simply roll for it and not note it? Nerwen turns her head to reply to Gocklo, as the orc's cruel blade stabs into her and she drops to the ground... -

Cinna, I am glad to have you with us. I listed those not yet targeted so Boris and your self might choose targets that reduced the number of free hits we might take. Gocklo and I have chosen new targets given your choices, you need not change. But it would be helpful if your spellspin thinned the ranks further.

Gocklo, take the mercenary. Try it rogue style if you like. Gocklo vs. Mercenary (as rogue) -
Almost every hero sided with the orcs because we had to make a blind choice before we understood what was in play. My guess is, if you ran it again with a neutral option on the table, that's what most would plump for. No one made a good case that the whole of high kingdoms needed to be burnt to the ground, but that's on players, not QMs. Are you suggesting that it should have come down to PC vs PC combat? Or does having heroicans stand on the bridge not letting orcs (or kingdoms for that matter) cross actually provide a good reason for protecting a bridge from vengeance blinded allies?

Alexandre, leave off the Oshuultar, he is poisoned enough to drop him soon. Get some poison into someone else and cut down our free hits. As for the other end of the bridge, we will help them when we can spare someone while not putting ourselves in unnecessary danger. I know Benji has an incense, and he is a compliant fellow, he will do as directed.

Given the battle is being fought on two fronts, you may want to give some guidance on what you'd like those actions to be. -

So it is. See, that's why you're the QM and I'm the arrogant elf. Nerwen notices Raguel has stepped into the fray over the other side. She itched to confront him but was needed here. She also wanted to dissuade the others from attacking David, but David surely knew what he was doing in battle and besides, Valentino, holed up in the central tower could speak up for his son if needed, that's what fathers were for. -

not that it matters, since it did no damage, but the ostrich shouldn't have free hit hoke, it was targeted by Mirona. Seraphael! I come to protect. Forward then. All on Bastala. Nerwen and Gocklo (as barbarian) attack Bastala Same Battle order. Any hero on the west who does not submit an order, attacks Bastala. Any hero on the east border who does not submit an order moves west, and if they have an action remaining, attacks Bastala. Given how quickly Guts has been slaughtering everyone and they're now out of reinforcements, anyone who wants to stay on that side can submit an action and do so. Otherwise, we could use the help and earn ourselves a neutral victory like most of us want -

Hoke, have Heweyrt encourage Cinna. And get that electro gear on. You will be immune to electricity then. And if we do not target the Ogre, he will still get a free hit before he succumbs to poisoning. Are you happy to take it? West Battle order Hoke - Amethyst, Musalnav Karstirn A Nerwen - pheonix essence Tesni Hoke - Amethyst, Bastala (All Enchantment rolls apply to Flagpole WP) Tesni - Dyrok A, Qilin blade Nerwen - Karstirn B > Boris - Scroll of Weakening Dyruultar B > Cinna - Darkness, Dyruultar B > Cinna - Darkness, Dyruultar B (Enchantment rolls apply to Turtle Shield.)

Heweyrt, I have the luck I need. You should encourage Tesni. Tesni, use that armour cutting blade on the leader. We will get to the paladin in good time. West Battle order Hoke - Amethyst, Grunt B Hoke - Amethyst, Dyrok A (All Enchantment rolls apply to Flagpole WP) Nerwen - oshuultar A Nerwen - oshuultar B Tesni - Dyrok A, Qilin blade > Boris - Scroll of Weakening Tarokin Dyruultar A Cinna - move to West Front > Cinna - Tarokin Dyruultar A with Darkness (Enchantment rolls apply to Turtle Shield.) Alexandre - Dyruultar A Alexandre - Dyruultar B Baradock - grunt E Mirona - grunt E Gocklo - grunt A (as barbarian) Free hits Grunts B and C - Hoke Hoke, you should be able to withstand hits from two grunts. Cryos, swapping weapons is free (unlike swapping artefacts). So Mirona can keep her attack. -
The thing to remember is. You'll likely never see the kingdoms again in game. But you have to quest with players whose characters you screwed over if you 'just let the orcs take the bridge'. And given some of those characters think that'd be a terrible idea (and I'm sure they'd be shown to be right)* they'd never let your character forget such a betrayal. (Constance the Dragoon anyone?). *(the kingdoms under Raguel taking the bridge would be equally bad) Short answer : loyalty to fellow heroicans (who are the only really real people! ) trumps loyalty to Orc or Kingdoms or even circus NPCs

Nerwen isn't surprised to hear Guts barking out orders anyway. At least the gnome was paying attention too. They are not witches, precious, but I am sure you can have fun anyway.

Calling Boris closer before the battle starts, Nerwen hands him her robe of the archmage to wear. Raising her voice again she says. Make sure you are equipped properly, there will not be much time one this starts -

Just so it's clear to everyone (I expect SC knows this already, we've quested together before) Nerwen's move wasn't aimed at ScubaCarrot in any way. Chromeknight likes Scubacarrot and thinks he's a great player. It was an in-character move. Plus it'll develop the Guts/Nerwen relationship. Nerwen is impressed by Matthias' summary, calls out to him. Gnome. You are paying attention and you will be standing back from the thick of it. Take the Eastern side. Do not forget some of your group are hastened and can act twice in battle orders. We should keep some in the tower until the first wave arrives and we know what we are facing. Hoke. You and Cinna should tag team, one at the front, one at the border. The front tanks, the border casts and scrolls. Swap when the tank is hurt or ether drained. The one in the border has Captaincy of this side and I will watch over the battle as a whole. Do not forget to make suggestions for your circus performers if you have one! Italicised are suggested placements WEST BORDER Nerwen (25 Paladin) Gocklo (52 Mime -Nerwen) Alexandre (25 Black Knight) Hoke (30 Mystic Knight) (West Captain) Cinna (28 Mystic Knight) Baradock (8 Barbarian) Mirona (10 Barbarian -Baradock) Tesni (34 Berserker) WEST FRONT Boris (25 Sorcerer -Cinna) TOWER Heweyrt (Non Com NPC - Hoke) Benji (38 Beastwarrior) Jess (22 Assassin) Alexis (42 Harlot) Dyric (24 Assassin) EAST FRONT Purpearl (7 Mage) Matthias (6 Ranger) (East Captain) EAST BORDER Haldor (31 Shaman) Guts (30 Raider) Thormanil (35 Dragoon) Dreyrugr (21 Black Knight) Glup (6 Rogue -Matthias) Nelvyn (15 Assassin - Purpearl) Olmsytr (29 Warden -Suggestions, Guts?) Zeph- Nerwen is mounted on horse, does that mean speedier movement between zones. Can Nerwen dismount and someone else mount (much like swapping artefacts)? QMs. There's a good list of suggested artefact swaps. How much time do we have to action those, or are we ready to run? -

Nerwen raised her voice, heard by all on the bridge. New rules. Our one and only goal is to defend this bridge as best we can. From both sides. Our current party leader does not care about this goal. I will take over as party leader. If he wants to argue about it he can come over here and try it. -

I am glad you are here little one. This battle makes nearly ever other I have been in seem tame. Thanks Zeph. Just wanted to collect the whole set of positive buffs. Who lines, maybe I'll get some luck after last battle's shocking rolls. -

Nerwen checks her horse (stats Zeph?) and her Seal of the Warrior Priestess (don't forget to roll. Did praying over it make a difference?) and moves to the west border of the bridge. Seraphael flickered in and out of visibility, the angel's light causing a halo around Nerwen's pale hair. Thus far you have come. But no further. Turn back and live free. -

Seeing all the heroes moving toward siding with the orcs, Hoke standing alone, Nerwen speaks up.If we all side with the orcs, why not just let them cross and destroy the High kingdoms. Was nothing I said about the folly of such a move heard. I do not want either side to cross, but at the end of the day I know who must be removed from the Kingdoms leadership to bring about a more peaceful outlook. I cannot say the same about the orcs. Their heedless charge must therefore be checked by main force. Though I swear I will not lift weapon against any heroican. Nerwen moves to defend the bridge against the orcs -

Nerwen nodded in respect. I have misjudged you Olmstyr, you have my apologies. I look forward to meeting again under better circumstances, in the peace we both desire. She then remounted her horse. I shall stand to prevent the kingdom forces crossing onto the bridge. I want a chance to strike down the apostate paladin. -

Nerwen rounded on Olmstyr, her voice raised. Wah Wah Wah. I hear you waving the dead of Imaestym around like a tattered flag. Fine. You have the right to speak. Speak then. What is it you want? And do not give me any whining about how you should not bother asking me, I cannot provide. That is dishonorable and you know it. I am the one before you. I stand between you and what you want, if you can even say what it is you want. I am the one you must deal with, and whose hand can help you gain your desire. Name it. Or leave.
