Surely we scored clean hits, thought the cleric. A gust of wind swirled around her elven companion and he was whisked away out of the fight. She saw the other enemy mage consume a blue liquid from a vial. A remedy no doubt. Her attention returned in time to partially deflect a crossbow bolt from doing its full damage. The dwarven cleric lowered her shield and looked to her elven counterpart. She too managed to lift her shield in time. But as for fervent Richard, he took a quarrel right in the neck. The women of Squad III continued on against these recruits who sought to replace them. The Enemies: Akkaba Cleric (Elf) *Immunity: Scroll Spells* - "It's just you and me now, Petunia."

Akkaba Cleric (Dwarf) vs. Elgar - Free Hit (13/2 rounded up =7 damage) It may be a song about Akkaba, but Ennoc seems to favor the tune as well and blesses the ranger that has been so devoted to him. Elgar kneels beside the fallen tank and administers the reviving elixir. To protect the knight while he recovers, Elgar fires a shot into the human zealot. The elven cleric rushes to her comrade to offer protection. Disgusted by her weakness for caring, he lashes out at her with his dagger. Thormanil restores Ad-Hoh to full health while Arasmyth directs his comrades from the back row. The evoker hits his target but there is a sort of backlash to the spell and he receives the mark of the betrayed god. Elgar returns to check on Knifk and receives a cheap shot from the dwarven cleric for his efforts. The battle continues.

The encouraged religious zealot manages to get around Knifk's defenses and takes him out. Kadabra seeks to avenge his brother's character. Thormanil successfully keeps the dwarf cleric at bay and forces her to retreat backwards. The elven zealot begins his blood letting ritual in order to receive Akkaba's blessing. Kadabra, still in full control, wills Arasmyth to produce a burst with his signature element. Ad-Hoh interrupts the zealot's ritual which doesn't sit well with the elf. The Elven cleric closes the distance between herself and Elgar and manages to clip him with her mace. Elgar returns the favor with the butt of his crossbow. The heroes are deducted a health point from the poison and the battle continues. The Enemies: Akkaba Cleric (Elf) *Immunity: Scroll Spells* - "Way ta be, Squad III!"

He'd heard a sound but his adrenaline and focus were trained on his spell casting. But after his target had been hit, the noise in his head grew louder. Nur clutched his ears and grimaced, unable to continue until the pain subsided.

Elgar points his teammates in the right direction. Perhaps his growing knowledge of other classes will benefit him in the near future... Results of Round One of the Akkaba Patrol, Squad III: Homer Singerson uses Skill - Song: Bridge Guardian (Enemies lose 5 health) Knifk vs. Akkaba Zealot (Human) - Special Damage: Insane Fervor (Special Dodge=Yes, Leadership=No) Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Cleric (Dwarf) - Meditate (+1 ether) >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Zealot (Elf) - Great Spell (8x2+15-5=26 wind damage) >Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Zealot (Elf) - Hit (27x2=54 darkness damage) >Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Cleric (Elf) - Critical Hit (11x2+16-5=33 damage) The human zealot pulls a knife and Knifk dodges the human's swipe. Unable to hit his target the zealot beings letting his own blood to show the level of devotion he has to his god. This process somehow magically pumps him up and encourages him. Thormanil takes a moment to recover some ether while the mages let loose their devastating spells. Elgar spots an opening and scores a critical hit. A decent start for the heroes, though the battle continues. The Enemies: Akkaba Cleric (Elf) *Immunity: Scroll Spells* - "We're still in the fight!"

OoC: Haha Nur lay on the ground a moment looking up through the trees. That hurt. He sat up. These women were formidable. Other than Johon, Nur was unsure of his other comrades' ability versus thinking opponents. "Fortune is on our side gentlemen, bountiful bosoms aplenty! Choose your dancing partners!" Nur got on one knee. "Hooter, Bosom Danab, Wilma, Alanna, Twin Mountains it is nice to meet you. Jane, would you do me the honor?" He hoped he hadn't lost all of his rogue-like quickness in his battle mage training but he was the least likely to be struck by the beastly woman. Although, despite her comments thus far, perhaps Wilma would be more receptive. En Sabah Nur targetted Wilma Scarletta from the back row with an earth spell. "Eh, your loss LJ, Wilma is the one for me. And yes I am attempting to take advantage of a drunken lass." Nur looked up and to the left at nothing in particular. Boomingham would love to face these opponents. He looked to the girl holding a lute. "You there, Nubile one, a tune for our makeshift ball?"

OoC: Lol, you guys... Nur wasn't quite intimidating and had never been diplomatic but with the Party's knight unwilling to lend his voice he had to try something. He sighed. "I am afraid these dullards are correct. They are here to bring in the boys. I was not to reveal myself until the task was completed but I am here to observe and insure the job is done. I have been a member of the Wolfgang for some time now but I am also being tested. I am new to the 'Gang as well as I've been a member for under a year. Things must have changed greatly since your time us Wilma as testing new recruits has become commonplace." Nur glanced at his friends a moment before looking back to Robina. "A part of our test was for us to be stripped of many of our valuables and supplies so we do not have much on our persons now, but perhaps you would accept a donation to your cause at a later time?" He eyed the Mountain. "Quite an impressive lass. Although, childhood must’ve been awful for you! Were you a foot taller than all the boys? They laughed at you, called you names. Some boys like a challenge. One or two must’ve tried to get inside big Brienne Little Jane. I wouldn't mind adding my name to that list." He just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

OoC: I'll defer to Bricksandparts' judgment. :) Nur stowed his slab of Raw Meat. Maybe it'll be more healthy when cooked. Or maybe he could start a career as a chef. If only he had a frying pan... From his position in the bushes he looked down to the rock that lead his comrades to his location. It sat motionless. It seems like Nur must put his garnet directly into the rock for it to have any sort of personality. En Sabah Nur attempted to discretely cast luck on Johon for 10 ether. He consumed a Grand Tonic and washed the disgusting taste down with a Mead. He winced at the thought of his Party Leader casting sleep upon the archer. He's going to fall hard. The mage was taking a more relaxed approach to this quest and let his teammates call the shots. He nodded in approval of the druid using his scroll. This is going to be good. En Sabah Nur grinned.

@DD: Do you know how far your current team plans to go in the Field? I'm interesting in reading about a team going on at least a scouting mission to one of the Threshold monsters.

"Show it your backside, Shadeaux! Distract it for Johon and me! Hah-ha!" En Sabah Nur let out a guffaw and wiped the sweat dripping into his face with his gloved hand. He continued his attack from the front row with the Stealth Dagger he picked up on a treacherous island so long ago. His mirth filled moment seemed to make him oblivious to the bear's returning eyesight...

Aesthetics? Though I don't know why anyone would want to look like Alexandre...

It seems they have one more go at the Trainer before he retires for the evening. Where will the Party venture to next?

I now say YAY. For the heck of it. The reverb/vibration/recoil from the strike jangles the bones and muscles. -1 damage. Good ol' muscle wear and tear.

How does the Lucky effect on an enemy NPC work? Does it cause a temporary Jinxed effect on a player that targets it?

Blasphemy! Did you all read what I read? Is Zephyr saying that those who haven't QM'd before aren't intelligent enough to vote on the matter?! For Shame! ( ) I say, a vote for 'yay' is a vote for Wren! VOTE: NAY! on ALOD.

QM Note: Thormanil's WP upgrade from the previous round has been applied to the correct weapon.

Though sealed, you can't stop Thormana's blood letting or rain dance or whatever happens during a SHIELD roll. She heals the tanky dwarf. Arasmyth feints allowing his fellow mage to connect with his strike. Unfortunately it does nothing as Hoh needs to hit the gym and pump some iron. The Trainer clumsily hurts himself twice more before the hexed effect wears off. - "Did you have fun last night? You'll pay for it in the mornin'! Hangover Management."

Homer Singerson has 6 songs that can be sung, each usable only once per battle. Akkaba’s Delight - A delightful diddy about Akkaba before he was betrayed. Causes the blessed effect on a random ally for three rounds. “Oh! You doth have a friend in me...” Truth Of Akkaba - Reveals the horrid truth of Akkaba. Hexes a random enemy for three rounds. “See the face of Akkaba, see his true visage...” Shameful Secrets - This song reminds all combatants of a shameful secret they hold (like hitting a boy in the head in the sewer) . 50% chance heroes have their level halved for one round and 50% chance enemies have their level halved for one round. “Let your secrets out I say! Let them see the light of day!” Sewer Slide - It seems that Singerson might have entered through the sewers as well. All heroes are hastened but also poisoned for one round. “Sliding down the sewer luge is fun...but dirty.” Bridge Guardian - A familiar song about a giggling guardian. All enemies are magically burned for 5 damage regardless of SP. “Giggle giggle giggle, all she does is giggle as you fall in a pit and are burned for a bit” Righteous Reverb - The song reverberates off the walls, vibrating the heroes. All heroes get the immune to physical damage effect (physical based free hits included) for three rounds but take double damage from magic based attacks (magical based free hits included). "Caaanaaanaaan yoooouuuuuuuu feeeeeeeeeeeeelllll theeeeeeeeeeeeeee viiiiiiiiibrrrrrraaaaaaatiiioooooooonnnnnsssssssss?!" Party Leader, choose the order of actions. Also choose the song Singerson will sing. It will take effect before the round begins. Knifk, state if you want to sacrifice any additional health for your attacks. All of you, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal, or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. Check your stats. If the trainer is not targeted he will deal a Free Hit in addition to his hastened Free Hit after everyone has acted. QM Note: As you've already completed the primary encounter with the Trainer, failing this battle won't result in failing the quest. He'll just throw you out and you won't be able to return to him a third time.

Jules made it through the Akkaba sewer exit. She ran to the forest never looking back once. Once she felt she was safe, she began to walk while catching her breath. The unfamiliar forest suddenly gave way to a bustling city. She looked to her right to see a group of women laughing, and to the left were children playing. She looked behind her and the Akkaban Forest was gone. "Uhh yeah...rotating magic portal of some sort? The Children of Akkaba are crafty bastards." A group of armored men were headed her way so she darted into the first building she saw. It was a type of grand hall. A pair of Town Watchmen passed by and spat before continuing on their way.

Jules inched her way into the Hall. She cautiously worked her way upstairs and observed heroes through the railings. "Is that Chirpina...? Nah, couldn't be." She saw them ordering food and drink without paying so she went to the bar and did the same. She pretended like she belonged there. Jules ate her fill then left the Hall. She looked around once more before taking a road headed east...

Amen sister! Jumpstart the Heroica RPG Civil War.

I don't understand your comment about Sarick needing to change substantially since his first quest. Like you mentioned he's only really been on two quests. Other than gaining levels, my char didn't change from his first quest to the end of his second. Cronk's always been virtuous. Docken's always been Docken. Sarick is motivated by the rights of reptiles. He bonds with them so it's natural for him to bond completely with a sword that has a dragon spirit in it. Don't see why you consider his final actions "out of the blue" either. I see a lot of chars celebrating how they whooped the other team of PCs and blew 'em up good but it was Sarick who made the right decision by siding with Constance. He's been in the right since then. An evil needed to be put down for good and his blade wanted revenge. His comrades passed on an item so he kept it. S'not his fault others are indecisive about something that he can use for his future class pathway.

"This is quite fun! I can't seem to find an opening just yet..." Nur takes another swing at the Hungry Bear from the front row with his dagger.
