Turn 29 :Robobert the Green Sylvan Clay Golem Take a life fruit, and crush it, being sure to pour the juices of Ako's face. Afterwards, crush all the humans to even up the numbers
[4] You rush toward Ako. Like this time with Arbos, he is so injured he can't even talk, just mumble some muffled sound.
You don't waste time and take a life fruit -your last one-, reduce it into paste and pour it on Ako's afflicted body parts.
The healing magic inside the fruit begins to take effect, and the withering stop. Ako seems to calm down, his life state stabilized.
You then immediately charge at a group of five humans fighting three Sylvarians !
[6] They don't see you coming, and you send them flying in all directions ! But because of your momentum, you also crash into the Sylvarians and then into a tree.
[4, 2, 2, 6, 5] : Three humans manage to get up without so much as a bruise, but two others are badly injured.
[2, 2, 3] : The three Sylvarians slam violently on the ground, and they all end up injured. One of them barely avoided a dangerous injury.
General battle rolls :
Sylvarian : 3d6 + 3 [terrain bonus] - 3 [Injured]= 7 + 3 -3 = 7 (-1 d6 because of loss of leader)
Human : 4d6 - 1 [fire magus dead] - 2 [Injured]= 15 - 1 -2 = 12 (-1 d6 because of loss of leader)
=> -1 in each camp and -5 in Sylvarian camp (not counting Robobert and Ako battle result -Robobert fruit support included-)
Sylvarian numbers : 4 + Robobert
Human numbers : 14
The battle is looking really bad for the Sylvarians. They are suffering heavy losses, and the enemy managed to regroup.
The four archers in the rear are unreachable.
Bob up and down, and blurble happily. I made "friends"! If they try to attack or capture me then purge them with mana spark based fire.
[1] ((the [1] of death hath come))
"No. The order are clear. Exterminate this monster." suddenly says the Magus Captain.
"MAGIC SQUADS ! OPEN FIRE !"
The four trio of battlemagi unleashes their spells at once, and the dozen of armored knights charge toward you.
Spell dodging rolls : [5, 1, 2, 2]
A huge orb of energized mana, a flurry of rock spears, a wide thunder bolt and several fire bolts fly toward you.
You don't react in time to dodge the energized mana orb, and it explodes with force on you ! The large cyan blast cover a large area.
You lose 12 HP
You manage to nullify and absorb the energy from the Earth-based magic, quickly converting this mana into life.
You recover 4 HP
You manage to dodge the spells, but are still lightly injured by them.
You lose 2 HP
[3] The knights are within range of your Mana Spark, you unleash your mana spark, but disturbed by the explosion, you can't muster all your forces.
You lose 6 MP
Arc of energized mana fly from you toward the incoming knights ! They raise their shields, but are surprised by the power of your spark. The metal doesn't stop the attack and they are directly injured ! Some of them cough blood, but it only slows their advance.
(( Plot is getting really interesting. I'd want to reach next stage before getting to Fenia. Also, waiting for basic map of the world. ))
When the morning comes, thank Darakion, say goodbye politely and head west, towards village of Doro. Find something to eat on the way, then look for Fenia.
You recover all your MP
It's not morning yet, but you decide to go anyway. You thank Darakion for his hospitality and knowledge, and you head east, toward the village of Doro.
"Be careful Snehk, I hope we will meet again. Good luck on your crazy quest, you will need it."
[6] The night is silent, it's a soothing silence. You feel good hidden within the shadows, like in your natural environment. You head west, toward Doro. You eventually exit the forest and locate a road. Remembering what Darakion said, you know that this road head directly to Doro. You see a group of people walking on the road, they seem to have a carriage of sort, they are branding torches to light the way.
As the sand golem's cease pursuit, he would turn around and stare them down, angrily.
"You will regret having attacked me and my kin unprovoked. And I will grant my kin vengeance.."
He would then ready his wings and attempt to Distort the group, uncertain if it would work due to the nature of the creatures. If it did, it might provide ample opportunity to strike at their cores.
[5] You deploy your wings, facing the motionless sand golems and make them vibrate at a specific frequency. Suddenly the sand golems twitch uncontrollably and begin to lose sang, like if they couldn't maintain their integrity !
You aren't aware of it but your Distort disturbed the core of the golems, they are losing control of their own sand !
They retreat to get away from you.
Dahak ponders for a second. He felt a power surge recently. Did that thing just try to mind control the Delinde? Even though it seems to have failed, thats mighty rude to try and mess with your shenaningas twice with mind control,. She may even be Dahak's potential ex-girlfriend (much to his chagrin) for crying out loud! After all he went through, this is like a sandwich of rude with extra rudeness and rude sauce thrown at his face.
Now lookie here, I may have no actual brain, but I'm not stupid! You just show up out of goddamn nowhere, try to mind control me, suceed for a bit, then when I finally manage ot get away from that corruptor retirement home of a village, you chase me out here and try to mind control my only other ally? There's no hasty decisions on my part, thats for sure, you floating chump >:v!
Dahak pulls his holy dagger from inside his ribcage, carefuly unsheating it. A light seems to glow from inside his skull, illuminating his two pairs of eyesockets.
Do you have any idea of what I went through? I just got up from my grave and I've been assailed by multiple undead indigents, accosted by the clumsiest knight duo in existence, had to fight off a mind rapist with the stupidest heart expression ever, hit in the soul with God's holy dickslap thanks to those human hunters and their priestly tricks, and now THIS. You'll have a lot to explain IN HELL
A faint sound comes from inside Dahak's skull, its time to be an all skeletal badass again!
SPOOK your deformed oponent, then watch the smoky thing delinde summoned up and flank the enemy as it attacks, and throw your knife at him!
Ulkas chuckled eerily, amused by skeleton behavior.
"Heh. As you wish... I'm probably in no shape now for taking both of you on, thanks to your freaky skeleton powers interfering with human minds I controlled. But I'm more than certain that I could eliminate you before dear death fairy gets to act... So, shall we cease hostilities for now, to meet the other day, or do you insist on returning to your grave now?"
Fight: Concentrate on eliminating the skeleton, since fairy tries to protect him. Mind-control (self-stabbing) & acid for the win.
Cease hostilities: Go back to the village to feast on human corpses and recuperate.
Ultimately, the decision to kill or spare Ulkas is up to Delinde. On one hand she agrees with Dahak, the monster in front of them can't be fully trusted. But on the other hand, she doesn't know the true power of this monster, maybe he could actually kill Dahak before she could react. After all, he demonstrated a great physical prowess earlier.
Delinde roll : (1-3 = Kill; 4-6 = Spare)
[4] Delinde quickly evaluates the situation. The fog reaper is far from the monster, and Dahak is critically injured. There is a high risk Dahak will get killed if she decides to keep fighting. She made her decision rationally.
She apologizes to Dahak.
"Dahak, I'm sorry but this is too risky. I can't risk your life so soon."
"I will spare you for now. Leave at once !" she shouts to Ulkas.
She is still on her guard though, wary of Ulkas move. Ulkas then walked slowly backward, and bowing gracefully he said :
"You are a wise one, Death Fairy. I will take my leave then. As of you skeleton, we will meet again, you can count on this..."
He then left, heading to the village.
[1] But in the village, there were no corpse anymore. Only another Corruptor standing in place of the battle. This one was large and bloated, like a blob of ectoplasmic matter. You noticed it from afar, but it doesn't seem to have noticed you.
((The dice is making this village a true eldritch location, I love it))
As for Delinde, she called back the fog reaper once she confirmed Ulkas had left.
"With some luck, you won't have to meet him again. If he truly headed for the village, he will have a nasty surprise. Let's not waste time Dahak, let's go."
((Yep, the dice are trying to kill me again. Also, I just rolled a die to see what I can expect from my luck and I've got a 1. Dammit.))
"No! I cannot let his sacrifice be in vain!"
Eat the priest. Hell, eat the closest person there is.
[1] ((okay))
Again, the same situation. The bindings. The knight. The priest.
You swear and shouts word of hatred and rage. But you can't break the bindings, no matter how hard you struggle.
Revick the Knight roll : [4]
"This time, you will be gone for good. This is for Kyle." says Revick, pointing his sword toward you.
He yells as he rushes at you to impale you. The blade pierce you in the breastplate eye, and exit through the other side.
"I'm sorry Kardassus...I wasted your sacrifice... Ah, here I come, my friend."
As your soul disperses into the sky, you feel nothing but tranquility.
You lose your remaining HP. You are dead for good.
Throw some elemental breath at the reptile from the back of the cave, and try and signal to the child that he should run. Proceed to draw the the reptile away- keeping at a safe distance, of course.
[5] Charging your elemental breath, the child notices you and your subtle signal. He immediately runs away, and you unleash a full power elemental breath of ice and electricity on the monster !
You lose 7 MP
He screams in pain and is projected on the wall. But he is not dead, and despite his serious wounds, he stands back up. His body is covered in ice and electricity is seen coursing on his body.
"WHO ARE YOU !" he shouts at you.
