Oops. Looks like I hit post instead of preview before shutting down. Had to rush to hospital. Wife having baby. Ad-hoh can prep or sit out or whatever as if wncourwr didn't start. Battle is still happening. Will fix stuff later

Rogue applies venom to her weapons. Hound gobbles up the turkey leg and wavers a bit before recovering his balance and standing tall. Singerson sighs and moves back to his hiding space and pulls Nyssa with him. Looks like he's sitting this one out. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!! The Enemies: Maa'ri Rogue - "She will die!"

"The only way you're getting these boots is off my dead feet!" The Rogue's eyes had become crazed. Nyssa began to tremble and Singerson seemed to be a world away, twirling the Needlessly Large Rod. QM Note: I...can live with this solution. I will have to update later on in the day though. If you want to discuss using the smoke bomb solution versus fighting or murdering the girl, make sure to do so out of earshot of the Maa'ri so they can't prepare themselves for it. If no further discussion is needed, then I will update later on as if the smoke bomb was used.

Rogue visibly sulks. "Knifk, Ad-hoh! These others can not possibly understand our plight but you must certainly see our side. They took our family, we take theirs. It can't get more simple than that." Options: Fight Maa'ri (and win) - Girl Lives Ignore/Bypass Maa'ri - Girl Dies Any action other than fighting the orcs - Girl Dies Bold your choice, Arasmyth has no say in the matter but maybe Kadabra can call Bioniclover and post his choice for him. The Maa'ri will be at full health. They recover quickly.

OoC: He won it in the lottery. - "You greedy son of a *@!~#! We gave you that gold at the beginning of the quest!" "Come now, Thormanil. Where's the barbarian from earlier this evening that didn't think twice about striking down a youth? Surely one more youngling under your belt would add to your impressive career in child-slaying?

He does not look well." - "Ha-ta! *cough* Akkaba hass struck down another of your friends, Maa'ri scu-" The hilt of Rogue's knife stopped the man's speech as it slammed hard into his neck. Nyssa screamed and ran to the Archivist's side. - "Filthy abominations! My father will wipe you all from Olegaia!" She spat before lifting the Archivist slightly in an attempt to make him more comfortable. Ranger sighed and rolled his eyes. "You heroes've suffered loss as we have. Might as well know the truth." As per the advice received earlier, Singerson takes notes. "Originally, we had family members captured by who we thought were followers of Ennoc. It's been our experience that those bastards preach acceptance and the "light" but brutalize orcs in secret. As you can tell, we discovered these nuts worshipped Akkaba, an upstart diety I guess is trying to compete with Ennoc? Who knows but I tracked our family to the first Akkaban outpost. Two days later Rogue, Hound, our leader Warrior, Caster, the Goblin Twinz and I sneaked in to free hostages but found them to have been moved to another location. Unfortunately for us, getting out wasn't as easy as getting in. All of a sudden an army of those Akkaban pigs were upon us when it was supposed to have been lightly guarded. I don't know if as an orc I have trouble distinguishing human characteristics but every member of that army looked the same." Ranger shrugged as his mutt laid on its belly. "Our magic expert covered us with an impressive display of power, swallowing a hundred of them into the earth. The stress of it all must've been too much for him because the old codger had a heart attack on the spot!" He looked at Arasmyth. "Guess spellcasting should be left to the young!" Ranger laughed as Rogue retrieved her dagger. "We lost our demolitionist next. We'd found some strange kind of magic training facility slash supplies compound. We had one chance for the goblin to rig the whole place to blow but the remote detonator malfunctioned so he had to blow it all up manually. BOOM!" Rogue frowned as Singerson looked on visibly disturbed. "Our engineer died building a 'Final Solution' device as he called it. I still don't fully understand what happened to him." - "It *cough* was one of our most faithful who sabotaged his device!" "Wow, enough." Ranger takes an arrow from his quiver and casually walks over to the Archivist. He pushes Nyssa out of the way, lifts the Archivist's mask then shoves the arrow upward through the bottom of the man's chin. "During a recon mission we discovered that these bastards had killed our kin. With no one left to save we focused on revenge. During that same quest we found plans of how to reach this city of Nahrees. They detailed the route of the rotating portal entrance and exit points. Warrior declared a new mission: find out who led the Akkaba and take him out. Again, we had trouble getting out of that quest." Miraculously, the Archivist was still alive and managed a gurgling laugh despite the arrow through his head. Blood flowed from every orafice. "To his credit *gurgle*gurgle* your leader defeated over two-hundred of our guards to cover your escape. We eventually brought him down." Rogue had had enough. She took two of her daggers and jammed them into the Archivist's ears. "On our first visit we learned He-Who-Is-Closest-To-Akkaba had a daughter so we contacted Heroica to help us capture her. Now heroes, will you let us have our revenge and let us kill Nyssa or will you fight us to the death? We have nothing to live for but this." With their Party Leader dead and the option to kill yet another innocent child presented to them, What will the Party do?

Hound leaps at his target. It seems he'll actually connect this time but at the last instant, the Archivist hands glow blue. Using some sort of telekinesis spell, he redirects the Hound so that he connects with the petrified zealot instead. Thormana takes a moment to think of how best to proceed with this battle and decides to take a potion. Ranger is hit by the wraith but is still in the fight. It's 3 versus 3...+ a statue. The Wraith again rises high in the air and attempts to suck 14 ether from the heroes. The Wraith suffers damage from the poison as the battle continues.

QM Note: Oh yeah oops sorry. Ranger is supposed to unleash his shot before all actions at the beginning of the round AND is able to choose a normal target. Sorry the description...does not say that at all...whoops. So as of right now, Ranger will shoot cleric at the beginning of round 14 then his normal target/roll will default to the next enemy in enemy battle order which is the petrified zealot. Please feel free to select another target for Ranger, rearrange battle order or leave as is. Sorry for inconvenience.

Chuckles softly. "I figured the rogue in you would ask for more coin. Are you sure you're not a raider at heart?" The Archivist leans forward. "Same deal but for 1000 gold. It's as far as I am willing to go." QM Note: swils, go ahead and post the order of actions for the duration of this battle. Was trying to keep the others involved but you should decide your own fate.

The remaining ghosts dissipate for good as Thormana's enchanted totem cuts through them. Ranger gets a bead on his target and will surely finish the cleric at the beginning of the next round. The enemy paladin proves too much for Rogue and his weapon clubs her in the head. She goes limp and does not move. The Hound STILL can not seem to reach the Wraith as it floats out of his reach once again. The Archivist and Cleric do minor damage. The Wraith again rises high in the air and attempts to suck 13 ether from the heroes. The Wraith and Cleric suffer damage from the poison as the battle continues. Does the chin stroking motion which looks ridiculous as he's wearing a mask/helmet thing. "It seems you are running out of options my dear shaman. I'll offer you this, 600 gold in exchange for the greenskins and that mutt in your party. I'll let you, Aero-smyth, and Elgar go without further incident.
