[Metaquest Post]

Character sheet updated with Sireyi’s romantic preferences.

To answer some of the (very reasonable and well-worded) critiques from last thread:
First of all, thank you for the feedback.
I am aware that having Sireyi be open to multiple partners of both genders is going to result in waifu wars at some point.
I believe that the quest can survive it, and that although some players may go, there will still be enough people interested to continue.
I picked this for several reasons, firstly because it’s how I genuinely see the character. Secondly, I don’t see any option that will completely prevent an argument about romantic options. Even if I had picked the most restrictive preferences, some people would still be unhappy.
Finally, I believe that Sireyi’s preferences as written strike a balance between players having choices, and an established character preference to guide discussion, whilst giving me a believable and in-character veto on troll voting.

If you have specific questions or feedback, I would appreciate them, but please leave it until the end of the thread, or use my Ask.fm page.

Blowing the Horn is a free action in mass combat turns, the Heroes can act as soon as they arrive.

You have 1 hour (2 mass combat turns) before the Drache hit the beaches, what will you do?

Troops

>Everyone stays where they are

Sireyi?
>Teleport Giants in (40) – 1 turn
>Plane-shift Paladins and Knights of Konig in (2,000/turn)

>Other (what?)

Sofia
>Nothing
>Speech to bolster forces (affects all units in a single area, pick area)
>Other (what?)

Jal and Bokin
>Other (what?)

You have 2 turns, so can pick 2 actions (that require turns) for each character.
Teleporting the giants still takes a full turn due to the time spent convincing them to join the battle at all.

Combat rules here

If in doubt, rely on Autism Anon, he's read them already.

Apologies for not posting them earlier

So at least 1 turn spent evacuating civilians, and the other is either civilians, paladins or giants.

5 minutes to either change vote, re-vote and roll 1d20 to tie-break or I'll roll.

Rolled 13 (1d20)

>>34338768
Civilians.

>>34338768
>In order to move from the Shore to the Town, Drache forces on the Shore must outnumber Island forces on the Shore 5-to-1 or better, or there must be no Island forces on the Shore.

To be kept in mind! We need to get the civilians out before then.

>>34338644
The Elemental Nodes are where?
>Sirey has the Storm one, the rest are in the Fivefold Death of Cities

The Horn of Alzurad is where?
>With Sofia

Troops stay where they are. For turns:

Sireyi Planeshift 2,000 civilians, then planeshift 1000 konig pallies, and 1000 knights of konig.

paladins will shrek these guys, we need more of them ASAP

Sofia Speech at the keep, then continue speechinating next turn.

Jal and Bokin with the main force

>>34338768
Change Giants here
>>34338703

Into Paladins

>>34338781
We can evac all civilians before their non-flying units can possibly reach the town.
Trying to defend the shore is a bad fight for a lot of reasons.
Check the bombardment capabilities of Warships and Airships.

>>34338784
That's not actually a good idea, due to bombardment a fair amount of those summons would die before Drache's ground forces even arrive.

>>34338768
Add in that Sofia should take a Stormwing from one of the palace guards to my vote, since I forgot it.

>>34338801
>We can evac all civilians before their non-flying units can possibly reach the town.
Evacuating takes up Sireyis combar rounds though, which we will need most against the flying units when the town comes under siege.
I'm not saying to defend the shore,just that we don't forget the civilians until last minute when we would need Sireyi.

>>34338624
Finally, the quest that ruins my sleep cycle ARRIVES.

>>34338806
That's why Sofia takes a stormwing, to make her flight-capable.
Alternatively, Heroes of the Horn are flight-capable and probably necessary if you seriously plan on fighting the flying demons in the sky.
Hero units can't inflict the kind of damage we would need by themselves.

>>34338841
>That's why Sofia takes a stormwing, to make her flight-capable.
I don't think Sofia can do much in the sky. Seiryi can fight that massive amount because of her AoE with Storms, anyone else I would not like to see try to fight them in the open air.

>>34338768
+1 to Sofia with Stormwings though.

>>34338867
That's not how the mass combat rules work.
Sofia inflicts nearly as many casualties (literally only 10 less maximum) against demons.

>Storm Powers – Sireyi has wide-area lightning powers that can kill a lot of ordinary troops but is less effective against demons and sorcerers. Costs 20 Divine Energy
>Less effective against demons and sorcerers
I know the meta-rules, trust me, her Lightning is not the answer to demons.

>>34338890
I meant the Stormwinds for defence though.
But I take your point regarding Sofia.

>>34338768
>Sireyi
>only a 4 and 8 at best
what?

You give the Horn of Alzurad to Sofia, telling her not to blow it until you give the order, or if she thinks it is needed.

You keep the Storm-powered Elemental Node on you, the rest are in the Fivefold Death of Cities.

Sofia begins riding through the Town, encouraging those she finds there and bolstering their courage. Jal and Bokin accompany her. Sofia takes one of the stormwings with her.

You cast a spell to keep in contact with your allies (Telepathic Bond) and allow you to direct the course of the battle.

You cast your planeshift spell and start evacuating civilians to the Kingdom of Dornmer, on another plane. Casting the spell the first time is incredibly difficult, and as the first few civilians disappear you feel something break around you. After that casting the spell is much easier and you are quickly able to move them through in groups.

After a half hour, you switch your focus to summoning in the paladins and knights of Konig.

You focus on your arcane energies, chanting out the words that describe what you want to happen. As you complete your spell you feel the energies within the Elemental Node dip before recharging itself from the storm overhead.

As lightning dances all around you, faint outlines of knights atop warhorses become clearer and clearer until the Paladins and Knight surround you.

An old man in full plate atop a truly vicious black warhorse trots up to you and lifts his helm.
It’s Sir Orville Cadgoras, Paladin of Konig and Hero of the Realm. You once sat in a lecture he gave concerning the duties of Paladins.
“Well girl” he demands “Where are the demons we came to face?”

>>34338934
We are not using the FDoC, it's not even that good. Only 50x won't do much with this combat system. Like 5000 casualties maximum, it's a piece of shit.

>>34338943
Giants aren't very good, we'd be better off summoning 2k knights.

Am I overlooking something ?
Giants seem like a good addition to Paladins to smash the normal Infantry so the Paladins can reach the demons. Considering the 5xCasualties the Giants inflict.

>>34338921
ITS FUCKING TIME BITCHES. I have been ignored and vetoed for so long, now is my time to shine, no-one will have my glory.

Blow the horn

More Clarifications: Isla, Jianxi & Matthias are not present unless you choose to summon them.

Sireyi can only summon or evacuate once per turn, not twice.

Initial option was because you had 2 turns.

Get your shit together OP

>>34339008
Oh good, you killed one guy.
How do you deal with the other 150,000?

>>34339010
Their numbers are too low for my tastes.
They aren't bad honestly, I just never got much use out of them in the simulations.

Still not an insult, especially since it's a label I wear with pride.

Also, where is morale in the rules?
Nowhere.
Not even in the meta.

Using FDoC is also a bad idea since it would drive the Ruler underground, we agreed to not use it except as a last resort.

I think you might be a bit too thinskinned if you consider this a "shitstorm", hivemind is nice, but so is a bit of discussion.

>>34339075
Okay to stop all you autists.
Does moral exist?
Will the demon army be affected by the death of Warrior since hes the top Chain of Command?

>>34338624
i heard from qtg that this is a smut quest, wheres the smut?

>>34339171
Look up the combat system. There is no mention of that, we don't even know how visible his death would be. And the panicing troops on the island won't flee into the ocean, they will at best keep marauding on the island or keep attacking at worst.


>>34339194
gr8 b8, just a bit too late, or to early.

You decide to keep the Knights and Paladins of Konig at the Castle for now. They chafe under such a restriction, wanting to go forth to keep the enemy, but Sir Cadgoras keeps them under control.

You move to the Town and keep casting your spells to evacuate the civilians.

Sofia rises into the sky wearing a pair of stormwings, and blows the Horn.

The loud, clear note of the Horn of Alzurad sounds. You feel a strong pull towards it, but as you are alive, its call does nothing to you.

All around the Heroes of the Horn appear. Sofia sees:
Several dozen paladins and priests of Konig, some from centuries ago. They wield a variety of weapons and wear different armour styles, some are on foot, others are mounted on horses, or griffens, pegasai, or other fantastic beasts.
Towering above them is the mountain giant, Moknathal, the only giant to become a hero of the horn, his silver-bound warclub over one shoulder.
With their bows of white wood, arrows notched and ready to fly, come the twin rangers Simon and Samuel, their pack of hunting dogs following in their wake.
A glowing longsword in his hand, the martial-arts master and psionic, Sifu Kybec.
Hefting waraxe and shield and wearing his horned helm, the dwarf fighter, Stubble, notable for his clean-shaven chin.
Tattoos covering his skin, the sorcerer-fighter, Janus.
In a long black robe, and with arcane energies crackling around him is the lizardman sorcerer Arzad.
Shadows curling around him, his true appearance concealed, the illusionist, Handers.
Standing seven feet tall, dressed in fur and leather and carrying a double-headed axe, the fighter and war hero Dunahk.
Wielding two blades of magical force, and garbed in glowing armour, the inquisitor-priest Jhazard.
1/?

>>34339199
not that anon but I think hes just following logic. agreed about the fact that not everyone would see warrior's death.

>>34338624
So this is the infamous paladin of sluts quest huh?

Great we blew the horn....
Now The Warrior demon lord will just wait out the duration and then crush us due to its cooldown period.

>>34339206
Long metal claws extend from his gauntlets, the snarling, scarred visage of Hurlayk, the half-ogre pit fighter.
His longsword sheathed, at his hip, both thumbs tucked casually into his belt, and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, the orc blademaster, Tirland.
More heroes, humans, elves, dwarves, people unknown, those even Sireyi wouldn't recognise. one hundred and fourteen in all, the heroes of the horn.
And last of all is Alzurad, the first sounder of the horn. He doesn’t appear very impressive at first glance, just an old human soldier with greying hair and too many scars. When he turns to look at Sofia, she gets a good look at his eyes. He has the look of a man who has seen the worst the world has to offer, and he wasn’t impressed the first time either.
“So” he says in a gravelly voice “who do you need us to fight, young lady?”

The Drache Elite and the Demons advance into the Town.

The Infantry, Sorcerers and Siege Engines disembark, accompanied by the Warrior.

Pick actions for units and characters for next round, as well as Sireyi's actions.

And decide which units of yours attack which of the enemy - if you want to choose, otherwise I'll decide.

Drache Elite will attack the Town Guard, Demons will go for the Militia, next round.

Morale is factors into casualties, killing the Warrior may break the army, it might not.

Error: I believe the Knights & Paladins of Konig are still at the castle, apologies for my mistake

I see no green text or anything...

Anyhow

Sireyi will keep evacauating
Sofia will give a rousing speech
Everyone else will fight to the best of their ability

Not that I care, its more important that the fucking horn was finally blown, I can rest in peace.
blow the horn anon is out, I stayed up purely for this.

>>34339296
Sireyi keeps evacuating.

Troops focus on keeping the enmy out of the town until the Warrior approaches.
Sofia and the Heroes keep back.
Wizards and all ranged troops pick out the flying enemies.
All other troops in town keep out of range of the Siege engines, otherwise keep the enemy as far out as possible.

Ok, so Sireyi evacuates civilians.

Sofia attacks the flying demons and uses her paladin powers.

Heroes fight the demons

Jal fights the Elites

Bokin fights the Elites

Town Guard fight the Elites

Militia fight the Elites

Knights + Paladins enter town to fight demons

Civilians hide

Split on Wizards flying up to fight and helping evacuate, no action taken.

>>34339579
Sireyi can planeshift people in large numbers due to the Elemental Node, some of the other wizards can, but only a few people at a time, and they will quickly exhaust their powers doing so.

Please roll 8d20 for results

>>34339579
Maybe none of the other wizards know plane shift ? If they could, they would have broken the barrier and gotten the hell away centuries ago.

Could we send Jal please into the castle to take care of the kids ? Where one traitor is, there are usually more, and that would be a significant problem. And Jal has a combat ability of only 2 anyway.

Overhead in the skies Sofia attacks the flying demons using her paladin powers, taking down 195 of them, temporarily exhausting her powers.

The Heroes of the Horn attack the flying demons, wiping them out.

Jal attacks the Drache Elite, killing 13 of them.

Bokin attacks the Drache Elite, killing 85 of them.

The civilians hide away from combat

The Island militia are fighting hard to defend their homes, though they are not professional soldiers they fight the Drache Elite, killing 90 of them.

The town guards are fighting as hard as they can, though more used to ejecting drunks from taverns they fight against the Drache Elite, killing 95 of them.

The Paladins of Konig charge into the demons with a loud crash, killing 240 of them.

The Knights of Konig also charge into the demons, killing 95 of them.

Palace Guards

Heroes of the Horn
The legendary Heroes of the Horn

Enemies

Elite Infantry
The Drache elite are veterans of many battles and their expertise shows. They attack the Town Guard and wipe them out, the few town guard that remain are too wounded to fight, have fled, or are captives of the Drache.

Air Cavalry
Mountain on their flying beasts, the Drache aerial cavalry swoop down upon their foes. Attacking the Heroes of the Horn they manage to kill 1 of them.

Demons
An eclectic variety of monsters and freaks, the demons attack their foes with claws, misshapen limbs, acidic and/or poisonous excretions and dark magics. They attack the Militia, reducing their numbers by 240.

I didn't count the vote saying Jal was useless as a vote either way, I read it as "I don't care what she does", I'm sorry I misinterpreted.

Get everyone out of the way and use the five fold and wipe out the warrior. We need the morale boost hard after what happened to the town guards.

Shut up about that thing, morale has no indication of mattering and the town guards always die.
Every.
Single.
Time.

>>34339841
Nonsense. The warrior dieing won't win us the battle. There is still 120 THOUSAND! enemy soldiers. We can't defeat them, we need to wait for Seiryi to be ready, wipe out the warrior, and then retreat to the castle and get everyone out

If we use it at all, then only to sink the entire damn Island, in the worst case scenario.

theres like literally no way we can win this whilst saving the death ray, I vote using it

>>34339904
No it won't because the Warrior spends all his time on the border fighting anyway. Only killing the ruler will provide some discord, and even that won't do much because the evil of this empire is pretty much institutionalised and won't go away in many years.

>>34339861
Don't send Sireyi into battle with the Warrior.
I can't go into meta, but it's a super-bad idea.
HotH are made to destroy him, use them.

>>34339885
This is the new blowing the horn, isn't it?
That thing isn't even useful, it won't win the battle and we can kill the Warrior without it.

If we're going to use it, we should've used it from the start.

>>34339904
He's going to, but there's no reason to make the Ruler into a problem by using the FDoC.

>>34339916
We can't win this with the death ray either.
I tried, it doesn't work.

>>34339812
>these odds
okay yeah I'll bandwagon this, shoot the thingy magingy that wipes out the warrior
also besides wizards and heros fighting airships, I don't really care

Let's have Bokin pick the death ray up and point it at the demons when it goes off. That should solve the stationary one-shot problem.

I had no intention of that, we need Seireyi ready because she needs to evacuate people into the castle and then plane shift them out. Not to mention taking care of the sorcerer.

I agree about the death ray. We desperately need it for the Ruler, otherwise killing the ruler will become a (You may fall) option for killing all the civilians inbetween.

>>34339922
The Ruler going into hiding would only make any assassination attempts more problematic. I say that him going into hiding weakens the hold he has on Drache, allowing Ellahi more wiggle-room to start that Cult of Joy and win the people to her cause.

>>34339934
I ran simulations under the assumption it can strike anywhere on the Island, kills the maximum amount of units each round, and has 11 shots.
It just doesn't work, there are too many dudes.

Firing it more than six times also risks freeing the Sorcerer, though he's not as much of a problem as it weakening the Island's incredibly useful defenses.

Ok, roll 7d20 for combat.

And because it’s being voted on

Use Fivefold Death of Cities on Warrior? (or other target)
Y/N

>>34339872
I'll add that I'll agree with spamming the death ray if only to save more lives and give us a better chance.
It won't make us win the battle but it certainly will help.

>>34339962
He still can

>>34339979
we already have by way of In-character questions, and we got told its a horrible terrible idea against the warrior, because it sends the Ruler into his fortress in the middle of a populated city, where we would have to murder at least hundred innocents to get to him.

The warrior isn't even an issue right now, we can wait to kill him with the Heroes and lose nothing. If he dies it won't change shit because the over 100k soldiers are still on our frikkin island and are not going to leave.
So tipping our hand with the FFDoC is aterrible idea just for that.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

>>34340002
Well, we can beat the Warrior when it comes to warring, and we can beat the Ruler when it comes to ruling.

N

It won't accomplish anything except make it useless against the ruler, where we have no other option.

>>34340031
We get it out, its still in the castle, we plane shift/telport it out like everything else.
And if we cant we just take the Nodes with us and the thing becomes utterly useless.

C'mon guys, let's go lure out the Warrior into the line of fire by challenging him to a fight, and then swiftly retreating.

>>34339996
Use Fivefold Death of Cities on Warrior? (or other target)
Y

No use thinking about the future when there are lives at stake now.
Stop thinking of this as if its a game, lives are at stake.

>>34340019
But we can't.
What about my repeated declarations of "The FDoC doesn't actually win the battle" don't you guys seem to get?

>>34340031
Then nothing, it doesn't work without the cores which we'll take with us.
The defenses will get the demons off the Island fairly quickly, assuming we aren't stupid enough to take them down by firing the idiot cannon.

>>34340044
The civilians have been evacuated, and that thing will just mean more lives suffer in Drache for far longer.

>>34340032
The Warrior will be dead, and the Ruler's power over the Empire will be shaken. That is what using the death ray will accomplish.

>>34340044
>No use thinking about the future when there are lives at stake now.
>Stop thinking of this as if its a game, lives are at stake.
The warrior isn't attacking anyone, killing him with the death ray won't save any lives.
Not to mention, far more lives get lost trying to get to the ruler afterwards.

>>34340059
Winning this battle involves retreating while showing Drache what we're capable of.

>>34340067
Why exactly do we have to use the FFDoC on the Ruler?

>>34340060
>The Warrior will be dead, and the Ruler's power over the Empire will be shaken.
Thats meaningless bullshit, we have no idea how much that would affect the rulers control, except that he will be far harder to kill. And we have other options to kill the warrior.

>>34340073
Because we have no other way of getting to him except a BFG to blast through his defences while he isn't prepared for a BFG.

>>34339996
no

>>34340072
Yes, let's show our opponent our entire hand all at once.
Instead of killing the Warrior with our own means and finishing off the Ruler with the ray, let's win the battle and not the war.

>>34339996
on phone, very conflicted
cant decide

>>34340067
>>34340073
Yeah, I myself fail to see why offing the Ruler with a death ray in the future is so important. Plus, the Warrior will still be running around in the future, and won't he do something about the death ray? We have the chance to take out the Warrior right now, let's not waste this golden opportunity.

>>34339996
I think we will need longer Pally.

>>34340111
>mfw I normally lurk and now have the chance to tip the scales for either the yes or no sides
>yfw I don't even care about the this vote and just want this war to be over

>>34340117
He won't be.
We can kill the Warrior either way, without much difficulty.

Nobody but the Demon Lords will recognize the Huroni construction.

>>34340104
They don't know that we're showing our entire hand, and how can we expect to win a war when we hold ourselves back?

>>34339996
Okay, I'm going to act as MEDIATOR.
How about we only use the death ray if warrior is going to escape?

>>34340153
or the conditions are impossible to kill him otherwise*

>>34340153
No, if he runs with his tail in between his legs, that's even better than if he gets obliterated with a death ray.

>>34340121
We don't the vote has been cast.The majority said no.

>>34340117
Huh ? The entire idea is to kill the warrior now with the Heroes who are made for that kind of thing.

>>34340146
If our opponent knows our full hand, it'll be detrimental even if they suspect we have a better weapon.
They have no reason to suspect that, since the FDoC is the most destructive weapon any of them have ever seen.
Winning this battle isn't about killing everyone, it's about completing specific objectives without using the retard ray.

>>34340153
He won't try to, that would be entirely out of character.
If he does, then I might be less opposed to it.

>>34340153
He is not going to, its what we were told about him, he never retreats even if outmatched. He is a Warrior not a General.

>>34340146
The war isn't this one fight. The Death Ray is for the ruler. That will end the war for us.

>>34339996
okay still on phone but I will go for yes

You manage to evacuate the remaining civilians, you got them all out, just as the Drache infantry approached.

Sofia attacks the Airships, but isn’t able to accomplish much beyond killing a few crew.

Jal retreats back to the castle to ensure the children are ok, they’re fine, Ebonsong is curled up under the crib, hissing in displeasure at being kept from the battle.

Bokin tears into the Drache Elite, killing 125 of them

The Militia attack the Drache Elite, killing 90 of them

The Paladins attack the Demons, killing 170 of them

The Knights attack the Demons, wiping them out.

The Heroes of the Horn attack the Airships, and destroy 5 of them.

The Wizards fly up to engage the Airships, but have no effect.

The Drache Elite attack the Militia, killing 160 of them.

The Demons attack the Paladins of Konig, killing 80 of them, before being wiped out.

The Air Cavalry swarms the Heroes of the Horn, killing 3 of them.

The Warrior attacks the Militia, killing 170 of them, then he spots Bokin.

Reading vote as 5 Yes/5 No - so no shot, this turn at least.

The Airships start bombing the castle, but do only superficial damage (failed).

This battle scene is really dull.

>>34340592
QM's forte was never large scale battle

A huge black and red dragon approaches Sofia, swooping over her. He’s 40ft long from head to hindquarters and she can sense strong evil (demon) coming from him. He has long horns on his head and his body is covered in thick armoured plates, his glowing red eyes regard you balefully. On his chest-scales, over his heart is a complex arcane symbol.

“Princess” he rumbles “Prepare to die.” His jaws open wide and hellfire gushes forth.

So Sereyi x Warrior epic battle? I'm disappointed.

You attack the dragon again, drawing upon your powers to hurt hit, striking out with the divine power of Velya you wound it slightly.

Sofia keeps sounding the Horn of Alzurad, and tries to keep her distance from the fight, but fails.

The Knights and Paladins retreat to the Castle.

The Heroes of the Horn attack the Warrior, and bring him down.

The Drache Infantry attack the Knights of Konig as they retreat, killing 225 of them.

The Air Cavalry attack the Knights of Konig as they retreat, killing 50 of them.

The Warrior attacks the Heroes of the Horn, killing 5 of them.

The Airships continue bombing the castle, damaging its defences (1/3).

The Siege Engines attack the Castle, to no effect.

The Dragon breathes another gout of hellfire at Sofia, she drops to the ground, charred and blackened.

You swoop down to catch her, desperately pouring your divine energies into the burned and blackened body you hold in your arms.

With Sofia’s burned body held in your arms your pour your healing magic into her until you finally feel her struggle and cough. As you watch, burned and blacked flesh flakes away to reveal pink healthy skin underneath.

She’s alive, but unconscious and very weak from being brought back from the brink of death. You quickly fly her to the castle before returning to the fight.

As much as I want to violate that dragon, we need to confirm the kill.

Maybe we'll get the climactic battle that one anon wanted after all.

The heroes should be better fighters anyway. And they revive, making them the best choice for enemies with instant death attacks like the dragon.

With the Warrior finally brought down by the Heroes of the Horn, he lays on the ground, beaten, but not dead. You approach.

This demon is huge, perhaps 20 feet tall if he were standing. He has 4 legs and a lower body much like a dragons, all scales and armour plates, a long tail with a spiked club at the ends trails behind him.

His upper body is that of an armoured, muscular humanoid, and his face is a horrid twisted visage with fangs and burning eyes. His twin axes lie fallen on the ground, slick with his blood, and the blood of those he has slain.

His lifeblood oozes out of him, dissolving the stone it drips on. One side of his face is smashed in from a blow of Moknathals club

He looks at you with his remaining good eye “So” he rumbles “You’re the one that Ilkethian was so worried about, I don’t see why: you took no part in this battle, the dead Princess of Jalweyen did more than you.”

>Those sounds like the words of a defeated foe.
>I called in reinforcements
>Ilkethian?
>The Princess isn’t dead
>Kill him
>Other

Above you the remaining Heroes of the Horn face off against the dragon.

>>34341193
>The dragon has an instant death attack
That was the Warrior, though we (thankfully) never saw it in action.
Dragon got two good rolls and dealt 50% damage on each turn.

>>34341210
>Kill him
With smite, so he dies forever.

>>34341210

>The Princess isn’t dead, with the grace of Velya I was able to save her.

>>34341210
>"You're not very bright, are you?"
>Kill him.
Wish we had time to reform him, but them's the brakes.

>>34341251
I'd like to change "The Princess" to "The Queen."

Part of me wants to respond with something like "Long Live the Queen."

Another part of me thinks that's gloating before killing, and that we should just smite him. We're a good person after all, we don't brag before pulling the trigger.

“The Queen isn’t dead, with the grace of Velya I was able to save her.” you say “And you’re not very bright are you?”

You bring your Halberd down on his head, charged with the might of your goddess. His skull splits and foul-spelling ichor sprays out. The mighty Warrior is dead.

Overhead the Heroes of the Horn harass the Dragon until it turns tail, flying away from the Island. It flies faster than the Heroes of the Horn, but not faster than you.

>Let it go, you have a battle to get back to
>Oh no, you don’t get to burn one of my friends to death and get away
>Other

>>34341340
We are correcting him on a false assumption. Is that not benevolent?

>>34341358
>Oh no, you don’t get to burn one of my friends to death and get away

>>34341358
>Let it go, you have a battle to get back to
I don't think we can take him on alone

>>34341358
>He scorched our friend, it's only fair that he receives a zap. (Painful, but not intentionally mortal.)

>>34341358
I'd like to do a ranged magic attack (using all our magic) on one of its wings. Is that a thing we can do?

>>34341358
What's the range on our lightning bolts?

>>34341404
It depends on if we stick with the mass combat rules or not.

>>34341417
Yes, if you want to try and bring him down by attacking a wing, that's an option.

>>34341424
500 hundred yards or so.

>>34341430
>>34341440
I assume he's less than 500 yards away, or that we could catch up and clip his wing from a range he can't retaliate from?
Throw all our DE into a single Lightning Bolt. That hopefully factors in our doubled pool from the Lightning Core enhancements being active.
And the DE regenerates really quickly so long as the storm's up, don't worry.

Now that several of their leaders are dead, would

be a good idea? How many people can we affect? Could we fly around, regaining power through the lightning core, and continuously cast that one enemy leaders until they tear each other apart?

You decide you fly after him to give him a bolt of lightning on the wing.

Roll 1d20+13 and decide how much DE to use.

DE recovers each round, average of first 3 votes used.

>>34341453
He's further than 500 yards away, but he's flying a lot slower than you, you could catch him in seconds.

Perfectly valid tactic, yes

62 + 20 + 10 = 92/3 = 30.6, rounds up to 31.

Subtract 3 for the base cost (possibly) and that's 65d6 + 39 lightning damage.

Dragon is vaporized, holy shit.

“Fight me you coward!” you scream as you fly after the fleeing Dragon, that monster almost killed Sofia!

Summoning your elemental powers you pour as much energy as you dare into a powerful bolt of lightning, your attack strikes its right wing, causing the targeted appendage to spasm, and then hang limp, smoking.

The dragon plummets down to the ocean with a roar of pain and anger, hitting with a huge splash, by the time it has surfaced again you hover above it, ready to deal out punishment.

It comes up spitting seawater and cursing “Are you mad?” it exclaims “I was retreating – aren’t you paladins supposed to follow rules or something?”

>I’m only supposed to accept surrender, are you surrendering?
>Demons don’t count

>>34341584
>Hit him with another lightning bolt
He is evil, and attacked someone who was retreating.
And he ain't surrendering. No reason to give him a hint though.

>>34341584
>You nearly killed my friend!
>Hit him with another lightning bolt

>>34341584
>Hit him with another lightning bolt
Sure we follow rules, he just doesn't know them.

>>34341584
I burst out laughing imagining this scene.
>I’m only supposed to accept surrender, are you surrendering?
Oh wait i forgot
>Demons don’t count

>>34341584
>My God only has reasonable rules.
>I’m only supposed to accept surrender, are you surrendering?

Lightning Bolt it is.

Please roll 1d20+12 and pick how much extra DE you want to use. You're still within the storms effect.

>>34341641
How much do we still have anyway ?

30 give it to him.

Rolled 15 + 13 (1d20 + 13)

>>34341641
Surrender and we'll take it. Retreat and we'll try to take you down.

Retreat is a legal military manouver

>>34341641
Why did we hover over to him? No one wanted to do anything like that.

>>34341707
Most voted to fight him. So its a reasonable enough interpretation.

>>34341724
No, we only voted to shoot him down. But now that we are here even though no one stepped forward and said they wanted to taunt the dragon, we've got this awkward conversation.

You blast him with another bolt of lightning as he tries to dive under the water to escape.

You see the dragon illuminated in the water as your lightning dances all around him as he thrashes and twitches.

Eventually he floats to the surface, unconscious, you can still see his body moving as he breathes, so he’s not dead yet.

>Kill him
>Leave him
>I’ll come back with an airship or something to capture him later
>Other

Whichever choice you make, afterwards you return to the battle.

>>34341707
Majority vote was to pursue in one fashion or another, and I thought players would at least want to see if it had died or not.

My apologies for not putting a Fly Away and Leave option in the previous votes.

>>34341768
>Leave him.

>>34341745
Now that I think about it, that's true. I had intended for Sireyi to shoot it down so that the heroes can catch up to it while Sireyi focusses on other things. Not that I mind the current situation much (though not asking for surrender seems uncharacteristic).
