Welcome to Gaia! ::

This thread is the continuation of the hard fought battle against Emu. So far some of the adventurers have found themselves in the basement of the tavern and are searching for clues as to what the strange school girl is looking for.

Note that this event is still only for acolyte members and below, no minor or major DM’s are permitted to participate.

Search results so far.

The will o wisp searches the cabinet and does not find anything of interest. (Since you are incurring AP and MP between the actual fighting during this I expect you to have to pay the MP cost to have actually summoned the will o wisp for one round, but with that in mind I will allow it to also get one search.)

Bellamin searches the box to the north but it is empty.

Xi searches the pile of wood creates and finds an old looking sword under it. The sword while not rusted has many dents in the blade and one of the hand guards is missing. It looks like it has been down in the basement for some time without care.

Kail looks though the book shelf and fines that it is mostly full of magazines and other not so interesting material. But in the middle of one of them he does find an advertisement for the SOM School for girls. Inside is a map there as well! (Kail now has special location: SOM School for girls)

Basidia checks out the bowl in the middle of the room but finds nothing interesting about it.

1. A pile of wood creates in the middle of the room.
2. A wood cabinet against the north wall.
3. A wood chest laying against the east wall
4. A suit of old looking armor standing against the west wall.
5. A brown cloth bag in the north east corner.
6. A book shelf against the southern wall.
7. A door under the stairs in the south east corner.
8. A small night stand with drawers in against the west wall.
9. A painting hanging against the west wall.
10. I large pile of cloth laying on the floor near the middle of the room
11. A statue of a gargoyle in the south west corner of the room.
12. A single box lying against the wall on the north side of the room.
13. A large wooden crate against the southern wall.
14. A statue of an angel against the west wall
15. A single wooden bowl turned over in the middle north of the room.

Upstairs there is a loud crash as the door to the inn is blasted to smithereens. Threw the threshold walks none other than everyone’s favorite copycat school girl Emu! She immediately starts walking straight for the door leading to the basement. If she is not stopped she will reach the downstairs of the basement in one more turn (you would have one more turn to search but after that you would have to deal with her).

(Yes there are two adventurers taverns at the moment. I just wanted the event to keep in its own threads and not to interfere with what is currently going on in the normal tavern. And yes you can be in both taverns at once.)

(also, if nobody can stop Emu for a round FARGORE himself will do it. That’s right, the Major DM will step in and hold her off for you for one round, but there will be consequences. It’s up to you players, but the offer is still on the table.)

((Alright, I don't know if the stuff she emulates applies before or after each round so I'm just going to go for the overkill to be safe. If someone can tell me this before Fargore posts I might edit my post a bit. ))

Kail hears the explosion from up stairs and Listens to Bellamins order to blast her. Being new to the situation he decided to go ahead with his plan. Though he didn't know if attacking her was the best option. If she did indeed did emulate the attacks of her opponents, there were some powerful things she could learn form him. Kail checks the brown cloth bag (*5) lying in the middle of the floor and then aims his hand at the door. It begins to glow with the eternal flame, ready to incinerate the first target to walk through the door. "Basida, hide behind that suit of armor. I want you to stay safe."

Spell: Incinerate (-2mp, 48 magic damage)
Action: none
Item: Kail uses spirit bracer's to block 5 damage. If enough damage is done to Kail to knock him out, then he will use the signet ring to summon Miztka to cast rebirth on him.

Basidia nods at her father and does as he commands. She hides behind the Suit of armor (*4) Examinaing it as she does so.

She does not gain the emulations from that turn until the end of the turn when I declare what it is she gets, so you just have to go off the stats that have been posted.

Bellamin: your round for your character was kind of confusing to me. I’m reading it as the will o wisp will heal you, so I put that in. Just for fun I’m going to say that your summon was still out (this event is kinda odd because we are using combat turns outside of combat) and that means you cast heal on yourself (the spell heal if I’m reading this right). So for the other heal I’m assuming since you said it was on another member of the party that it was the heal ability, so you have the arm guard equipped? It makes no difference really because everyone who falls this round started with full life (unless Basidia lives in which case you can heal her back to full at the end of the round)

Kail: I’m actually going to let you do it for now since you have been gone for so long and this was fixed while you were gone. But the Spirit bracer has been fixed so that it can only prevent damage to another member of the party and can only heal the user. You can check out its description in the special items thread if you wish. It does not make a big difference in the grand scheme of things really.

Since you have Master Caster, Incinerate the spell should have only cost you a total of 1 MP to cast. (3 – 1 from Master caster – 1 from skilled caster = 1)

The Aráethos Famly Signet Ring is on hold till I am done talking with kail about it in privet.

Emu lifts her hand in the air and points it at the suit of armor, in a flash it flys backwards and crushes Basidia against the wall before blasting to pieces. The bits of armor fall around on the ground and Basidia collapses unconscious. Amongst the bits of armor also falls a strange multi colored stone about the size of a golf ball and the shape of a perfect oval. Then the spells hit and she is engulfed in a blaze of white hot fire. Erupting from the fire are two fire spells that collide with Kail and Xi, when the spells explode both are left on the ground. following the two spells the school girls leaps from the fire in a straight line passing by Bellamin and his pet while wielding the short sword in one hand and the energy sword in the other. There are two streaks across the air and the will o wisp falls to the ground, and Bellamin takes a nasty wound to the stomach. Completing her strike the girl instantly falls to the ground and explodes in a puff of black mist that seems to dissipate.

Emu uses Rib of the Crypt to gain 1 AP this turn.
Bellamin casts heal
will o wisp heals bellamin for 5 HP.
Bellamin cast heal on self for 4 life.

Damage:

Bellamin: 7 damage from normal attack (11 + 6 combat = 17 – 6 combat – 4 resistance attack = 7 damage)
Will o wisp: 11 damage from energy sword
Xi: 36 damage from overbalst
Kail: 36 damage from overbalst (-5 from spirit bracer, still dead)
Basidia: 6 damage from SA

(Kail: in all fairness if you want to use your spirit bracer on Basidia instead and prevent 5 damage she will live and it would actually be following the rules of the item. So you may continue roll playing her if you wish to do that)

A search of the gargoyle statue reveals nothing of interest.
The brown cloth bag had nothing inside of it.

1. A pile of wood creates in the middle of the room.

Bellamin is holding an old looking sword
The magazine Kail was holding was thrown from his hand and is lying on the floor.
There is a strange multi colored stone on the ground in front of the broken statue.

((Hehe I know I died but that was great RPing of Xi, thanks!))

Emu smiles as the older girl rushes in at her and crosses her two swords in front of her. The huge sword smashes into the energy sword and short sword causing sparks to fly in every direction. With a hard push Emu forces Evangeline back and with a swing of her energy sword creates a slash of telekinetic energy and knocks Evangeline off her feet. As Evangeline falls there is a sudden whooshing sound as the air in front of Emu parts and a slash appears on her chest. The black wind starts pouring from it and she smiles “Your pretty good, NOW DIE!” forming a ball of white hot fire in her hand Emu points it at Evangeline and fires it at her. Evangeline’s eyes go wide but before getting hit she reaches her hands above her head holding her sword up and throws it with all her strength over the fire spell and right into Emu’s chest. The sword pierces Emu and pokes out her back as the ball of energy strikes a kneeling Evangeline and all but disintegrates her. Emu reaches up to the sword in her chest and pulls it out as black mist spills from the wound. Placing her hand against the opening her wrist glows, a bracer appears there and she uses it and a healing spell to help stop some of her energy loss. She looks at the sword for a moment and smiles then drops it to the ground. As she takes a now struggled step forward the mist still leaking from her back takes shape and forms another sword identical to the one that had caused the wound strapped around her shoulders just like Evangeline. She lifts her head to look once again at the inn “They are all going to pay.”

((You serious?! Well, now I'm just gonna go on a wing and a prayer...))

Bellamin held the old sword and the colored rock in each hand. After leaving a small vial which read "SMOKE" on the ground on top of the stairs, Bellamin rushed towards the painting; he flourished the old blade. With one fluid motion, he stabbed at the painting. "What do you mean I've gone insane..."

Checking painting
Energy-burst if she gets in THIS round
Attacking painting ((=3))

*Hurryed foot steps can be heard aproaching the door to the basement, they grow louder and louder as they drum on the floor boards. As the shadow belonging to the foot steps washed over the door frame the familiar form of Firu apears at the top of the stairs.*

"Whats gong on in here!? I heard a lot of loud noise and somethign that rattled the intire tavern." *Looking around he sees unconsious bodies on the floor and notices that those still active are franticly searching the room, so not waighting for a responce he begins looking around as well.*

(If she attacks again this round I will do the following...)

Varnis hears commotion coming from down stairs as he sits at the table curious as to what is going on he walks over to the stair well and sees what seems to be a fight with a girl. Seeing her walk up the stairs holding something he charges at her with his void blade drawn and his shield out by his side. Running down he slashes at her with his sword and follows up by smashing her before he uses power up to increase his defense. "Don't think you can just get out with out a fight!" he shouts as he does this. Finally smiling as he has something to do now, although he knows his defeat will soon happen.
