And Duchess "bamphed" away again. hahahahah.
Follows:
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY
(I/C)
Making a low whistle, Kovid fished out his vial with the 1 drop of giant growth potion in it and shook it. “Hang on guys, I’ll get you out.” He popped the top and tilted it back, "Lady Theystra, we need all the weight of your glory,” swallowing the minty flavored drop, feeling it fizzle in his throat.
Brendon took out another magic arrow and nocked it in place. “With all your command,” he called across the battlefield, “and the fancy title of duchess you can’t get anything right.”
“It’s my name you dumb hick.” She retorted, loading her own arrow. “Gods you’re stupid.”
“You failed to kill me, you failed to ever find us proper, and you failed at those fucked up writings.” He chuckled, “What the fuck were they supposed to be poems? Scratch crack hoe should be your title.”
“Did you read my shit?” She stomped her foot. “They’re PRIVATE you trumped up bilge choking barrel fucking loser! Stop reading MY shit!”
At this point, Brendon swapped over to goblin and said, “The Duchess has failed you before, kill the Duchess and I’ll reward you more than she ever could.”
(Reaction roll: 3+2, +1 Cha, -2 loyalty: 4 – no)
“We’ll follow Duchess without fail!” the goblins cried back. “Do your worst!”
And with that, the Scout smiled and released the bow string. The arrow whummmed again, a streak of gold and silver behind it (>+6 to hit, +2 Magic, Red 20 – Critical – Max Damage: 6+2 = 8 Damage and killed! (Provincially – down to -3), and then burst right below the Duchess’ chest, pitching her back with a gasping wail. As she fell, her hands went slack, and the empty vial that had been in her bow hand, slipped free…(excerpt from Post 349: . “You’re proving to be more a pain in the ass that the reward is worth,” she snarled, poking an empty vial out of her bandolier and into her bow hand. “But thankfully, I expected something like this.” ) and she disappeared.
“FUUUUUCK!!” Brendon wailed. “That fucking shot KILLED her! Where the HELL did she go!?!”
“Bet you it was a Recall potion,” Lannis’s voice came muffled from under the statue. “Most likely she’s in her room past Mirabellis’ room.”
“Bleeding out, I would ‘ope,” Wyn agreed. “Hey, Dwarffriend! We need you!”
"So Wyn, how ya doin? I feel like we never talk anymore,” Lannis said, trying to keep the statue from further crushing him. “Me, I feel like I've finally achieved parity. The two women crushing the life out of me are the 100 pound tit shaped reckoning for my constant misogyny and a wash board.”
Seeing Abraxas about to charge the goblin engaged with Kovid, Lyra grabbed him by the backpack with her free hand and said, “Hang on a sec. Aine! Gift this man with a Continuous Heal!” A burst of white energy and the smell of mown grass covered the Fighter (Heal 1d4+1 for 5 turns: White 3 – Heal 4!), adding some vigor to his step. “There you go, Big Guy!”
“Gracias!” He turned to the goblin spearman and smiled. “And now por tu, Time to die, puta!” His Scythe flashed in a figure eight, slicing and ripping as the Morrigaan weapon tore through the goblin’s defenses (>+7 to hit, Blue 10) and sprayed green blood in an arcing splash (1d8+4 Damage, Blue 2 = 6 Damage and killed!!), the goblin dropping with a whining gurgling wailing cry.
Still trapped, the sound of the battle raging past them, Wyn let out a shallow breath and replied to the Magic User. “Oh, you know, Monsieur Offop. Just contemplatin' a few life choices. You ever feel de gods might be lookin' down on wit a bit too much humor? Like... literally?”
Lannis grunted in agreement, “I can believe that. Maybe this whole thing was about finding the center. What do you think?"
“Mebbe, when we get outta here, remind me to buy ye a drink. I tink we be deservin' it after dis ordeal.”
“Hang on you two,” Kovid said as if in pain. “It’s like a Hallmark moment here.” He placed one hand on his chest and let out a small burp. “Ahh..Ah Hells. Here is comes!” And with that, the Dwarf suddenly swelled up in size, rising to almost 10 feet in height and easily over 7’ wide at the shoulder. He reached over and grabbed the Theystra statue with two big hands, giving the giant goblin a withering glare.
"Woah! Look how big you got!” Lannis exclaimed, looking past the statue’s bosom. “Kovid, you're a real boy!”
“Zip it, Big Brain,” the dwarf chuckled, making as if to walk away.
“Wait, pick it back up I'm still stuck! Kovid? Kovid!"
With that, the dwarf lifted the statue with some trouble, and hoisted it high, voice straining as he addressed the other giant, "You shouldn't take the Gods for granite... ore hard times will befall on you!" And then SLAMMED it at the goblin (>+9 to hit, Yellow 11), where it smashed the greenskin on its back (1d10+6 Damage, Yellow 6+6=12 Damage and killed!!) and caved its chest in, the goblin howling in agony as it died horribly.
“No Kovid,” Lyra moaned, “Please gods no. No puns please.”
With the giant goblin slain and Duchess missing, the 5 goblins remaining took a quick accounting with one another (Morale check: 6+6 – fail!) and then ran for the north door.
“Stop them!” Abraxas cried out, moving to charge across the chamber.
The one fleeing past Lyra had the cleric give her a passing shot with her flail (<+4 to hit, White 8), buffeting him and making him stagger, but he picked himself up and kept running.
But the door out of the Sanctuary was closed. And no matter how hard they tried, the door without a lock on it…refused to open.
(Initiative: Party Steel 4 vs Enemy Red/Black 5)
They turned back (no flee – cornered rats, fight) and seeing the giant Kovid there, his armor and hammer reflecting the light strangely in the Sanctuary, they fired their stones and weapons at him. “Kill that one!” They cried out.
Arrows slashed out (>+1 to hit, Black 18..<+1 to hit, Black 5), one of them cracking the giant dwarf in the shin (1d6 Damage: Green 4 – Take 4 Damage!) the other hitting and breaking apart. And two sling stones whirled in the air and were released (>+1 to hit, White 20 – Critical Max Damage 3) one of them hitting the dwarf right between the eyes, making him curse, “Thor’s Balls!” while the second stone (<+1 to hit, White 9) was deflected from his armor.
This left the spear wielder who charged the dwarf who was noticeably shrinking at this point (<+0 to hit, Teal 13) but Kovid was able to stop his attack, his glittering weapon and armor shimmering around the dwarf as he worked his hammer around to ready a follow up blow. “I’m not sure guys, but I think wearing the armor AND the hammer is allowing me to keep that door closed for now.”
Time now is Day 8, 1:16 PM
(OOC)
Continuous Heal on Abraxas – 4 more heals each 10 minutes apart. Giant growth potion is over for Kovid. You guys go! No WMC with the hammer in here – so this is it. But Duchess unconscious and dying body did Recall out of here – and she'll be dead/dead @ -6. Good luck!
