Part IX: Caught in a trap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTYg2Q-vDJ0
Replace the word trap with web and you've got today's update sans some of the interesting stuff.
Alright back in town to fight a replacement for KalosKagathos.
: So were are we going to find a new bard?
: A bard you say? Then you might be interested in my talents, my name I reject and I'm the finest bard there is around these parts.
: A dwarven bard , now those ain't common!
: Well thats because I'm not a dwarf I'm a half elf
: Me thinks you look a bit short and hairy to be a half elf, neither elves nor men are so short nor so hairy.
: Thats because you assume that all half-breeds are half human, I'm half elf half dwarf, thats also why my name is reject since neither of them wanted me.
: Welcome aboard our merry band, whatever you are
Reject, the short hairy half-elf bard.
He gets Kalos old stuff.
: There is an awful lot of holes in this here mail hauberk, oh I suppose that is what makes it enchanted.
: Exactly!
Alright back to kick ass.
: What a nice cave, I'm sure that I ever had a home it would nice like this.
: It's not always so nice, or at least not the inhabitants...
: What are all these people doing here? Do they live here or something? Damn I had hoped I could claim this cave.
: Well you see we rescued them earlier, I just think they haven't realized that fully yet.
Down the rabbit hole.
Looks like we got a welcoming committee, just lacking the red carpet.
As usual the squishes are up front when we go through the door, retreat!
: ... my blood is supposed to be inside my body.
We bravely retreated and regrouped. Alright if we put the melee fighters at the bottom that should make them spawn first?
Apparently not, seems it's based on their position in the character creation screen, fuck this popamole crap.
With the low health/AC character sup front the damage is :extreme:
and resting is required since were out of healing spells among other things.
Alright in again, and the enemies seem to have pulled back a little this is our chance to strike!
A grease spell makes them a bit slower, those that get through though seem to really really hate Alais though, they don't even have a reason to!
This is horrible no space to organize or to pull back to.
Back again.
Alais is cooking up trouble...
: See how you like some fire you damned undead!
A second fireball and the zombie horde is almost decimated.
: Fire in the hole, assholes!
Human/elves/dwarves/strange half-breeds: 1
Zombies: 0
THough we are attacked by some kind of suicide bomber skeleton, whats with all these religious fanatical undead?
Skeleton archers with fire arrows and longbows, oh joy!
: No more mr.Nice dwarf... not that ever was all that nice
I remember this place as being full of very painful traps, think they cause a lethal disease if I remember correctly.
: I hate this job.
: One day I'm gonna walk right into one of these...
The rest of the party moves on up.
: God job with the traps up there, don't worry were right behind you, if you get hit by one I might even have time to heal you!
moar traps
and suicide skeletons
... and more traps, and a single one of these is enough to kill a character. fun fun fun.
Lovecraft walk into one, though is lucky and saves vs death.
and some more explosive skeletons
: See told you I would heal you.
: If I die and become an explosive skeleton your the one I'm coming after.
Just another horde of undead nothing to worry about, since this time we've got room to maneuver.
This one kinda fails but it still does some damage.
: Staying alive, staying alive. alright could use some healing I'm gonna continue doing that.
: Seems I have to do everything around here.
Almost done here, though we walked into our own web in excitement to finish them off.
The last ones are destroyed.
We encounter another weight, and Reject for some reason doesn't quite understand the concept of getting out of the way...
After a few painful blows he gets the idea though and survives todie fight another day.
Aghar levels up.
Suicide skeleton, and Reject would not survive another hit form one of those.
: Oh shit oh shit oh shit...
: You run, we will distract it.
Damn that hurt
: Alright maybe we should pull back and rest just a little
: I second that motion
: hah we hardly begun this no way were stopping theres no risk in that.
Luckily we don't listen to the opinion of mad men or women.
Back and ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum.
:... I wonders whats up here
an explosive skeleton
Were not gonna get caught in that trap
: Aha a bridge keeper so what do we do? I heard something about questions and stuff
: Don't let him ask you any inane questions, any way I'll handle this.
Well we beat him up good and decide to finishing exploring this part before corssing the bridge of doom and gloom.
: Ahh don't let that explosive thing get me!
: Don't worry I'll handle this bitch.
Seems very hard to hit it...
Hvae to run through half the map before he gets in a good hit.
: Took you an age to get that one down
: Yeah but I did didn't I? You afraid a little exercise?
Now to deal with the last unguy
Some more undead, Darth distracts them while a web spell is cast on the area. His ring enables him to simply move out of the area unaffected.
: Every one got their safety goggles on?
After pulling back to a safe distance, Alais unleashes hell.
One of the skeletons that got through was an explosive one though lots of damage.
MOst of this side is now cleared
Alais levels up
First time I got a shot of this, should have these in the future mostly for level up/death
: Ahhaha I am now able to cast the fourth level of spells fear my wrath!
: Do you actually know any fourth level spells?
: ohh... yeah... but thats just a detail, the point is that if I knew any fourth level spells I could cast them
The explosive ones do firendly fire however of course they are all immune, how pop-a-mole.
Almost out of spells (at least disables and AoE ones) so it all ends up in a melee fest.
: Who wants some?
One left
: We continue to explore whats left of this side
Nothing much
Seems thats pretty much everything here, we can now continue without fear of leaving something at our backs.
Back to the bridge
: I've got a bad feeling about this, we are doomed, DOOMED i say!
: yes this place give me the creeps
: Nothing to worry about, just a trap
: Ah but is it a deadly trap?
: Looks like some sort of arrow with some disease carrying agent on it, nothing to worry about it would probably just turn your guts inside out.
Lets look ahead
: This structure is clearly man made or by some other sentient being.
: Yes like the ancient cyclopeans, I wonder what horror dwells within
Tetris found out.
: Hmmm... That's gonna leave a mark.
Doesn't look so bad.
More of them keep comming but we've got the solution for that.
: Burn you undead freaks burn!
Suddenly from behind!
: Pull back!
: Burn burn.. huh what?
Alais was a bit distracted by the whole destruction thing and lagged behind
Fortunately she get though and unleashes her fiery wrath once again.
: Seems we've got them all, excellent.
: Oh there are a few more over there.
: The hell, they make poisonous zombies these days?
: Maybe I can't cure it but at least I can hinder it
Eventually it wears of the edge of the poison take off by the yellow bearded fellow. And Darthowicz move in to finish the last zombies.
: Do you smell something?
: Some rotting zombies, but they don't smell they stink.
Then from nowhere, cloud kill. Instantly killing Darthowicz. Good night sweet prince.
: The hell was that?
: It's called cloud kill, cause it's a cloud and it kill get it?
: yeah I do and I think we should revenge Darthowicz by killing whoever did that, we could use some rest and healing first though.
: Wouldn't just who ever just cast that spell cast it again after that person has rested as well thus killing us?
: Excellent point, we charge for glory!
Aghar levels up
Lovrcraft levels up
: I dont want to die.
Lovecraft having scouted out the interior the rest follow.
: Try to cast those spells of yours now bitch!
Miss cast magic is pretty sweet since it gives a 80% chance of spell failure for the target, and unlike silence which merely delays the spells any spells that are miss cast are wasted.
Some more spells though she resists them
: My magic it does nothing!
: I'll get you for that.
Alais is hit by some magic missiles and retreats to hide using LOS
Sadly she is struck down just before she makes it to cover. , the fallen shall be avenged
: Nobody kills our chicks... and lives!
Aghar whacks the necromancer good with his mace, causing here to fail her spell
: you have been terminated
: Alright every one alive and kicking?.... oh to bad that she was quite the fiery one
: Indeed and in more than one way, she shall be missed.
: You don't mean you actually had time to...
: I always got time for hot babes, even between killing monsters
Some loot
: Well if our friends got killed over this it better damn be worth it, lets check what she had in her stash
The place is trapped to hell and back.
A rather nice spell among other things
Heading out, oh wait there is a troll over there!
: Don't worry about it, saving chicks is what I'm all about!
Once back we get some of the stuff we got of the necromancer identified and it is some pretty sweet stuff
Though the only improvement over the other crossbow is +1 damage, though the speed factor is different, I suppose the attack speed is faster? Though it still says the same number of attacks, am confused.
Darthowicz death stats
Alais
Yeah I saved and paid to have them resurrected then reloaded, just to get that info.
The necromancers Journal
and mysterious bottle of wine, is it good for anything?
Next update we recruit some newunfortunate fellows and continue into the depths of the eye.
Don't worry he will get his chance soon enough
