Roll Call: Darnel, report!

Prince Toad · #21

Yes, your free round counts. Once you hit him, he's up; it takes him one turn to gather his bearings enough to shout for help. So that gives you the surprise round and then one turn. Basically you get two moves-- once you hit him.

Rum? Check again... come on...

Lord Umbra · #22

Oh. You mean I have as many "free" turns as I want, until I hit him? That changes everything.

I'll make that a No Prisoners, Hurricane, Hurricane.

Prince Toad · #23

*sigh*

15 + 5 + 5 = 25.

Lord Umbra · #24

No Prisoners, Hurricane, Heavy Blow.

Happy?

Red (gasping): Whoa... hey... don't kill me. Let me go. I won't scream or anything. Ye can bound or gag me or whatever until you get back. Here, you can have my stuff too. Just let me live. Hell, I'll fight with you if you want. Don't expect this from the others though-- they're an untrustworthy lot. Uh... but you'd have to heal me if you're going to let me fight with you. So...

a) Let him leave
b) Bound him, gag him, leave him where he is
c) Give him a potion and tell him to fight with you
d) Something else

C) And by a potion, just one potion.

I'll try to keep an eye on him though. People say anything to save their life...

Red uses Small Potion. Heals 25 HP.

Red's HP: 26/80

Red: Thanks. So you want me to help you fight? We can take out that bastard Harvey over there. I never liked him... or any of this lot, really. But the plunderin' was good... arr. Got any specific plans?

"Well, Toblis has an issue with raiders... But for now, let's go get Harvey."

Prince Toad · #29

Red: Toblis, eh? Maybe they forgot me face. Let's go.

You approach to within a short distance. He doesn't seem to notice.

Lord Umbra · #30

Let's go get him? We'll approach with caution, and then engage in combat.

Red: I'm feelin' a bit stronger. Not quite me ol' self, but it shouldn't be too long. So you took out us lookouts. There's a pair up north, or we could go west and get up to that lone slinger over there. Me guess is they're sleepin', but we still have to be quiet. By the way, we're holdin' some prisoners at the northeast end o' the beach. Dunno if that's any interest to ya, but at the very least the guard might be awake. Also, our-- their-- leader, crusty rat named Shells, might be too, he likes to plan raids and all that at night. I'm guessing the rest o' these layabouts are flat out. So what now?

Lord Umbra · #36

"Let's go to the prisoners, and try to kill the gaurd."

Prince Toad · #37

Red: Aye, but that means goin' past those two pairs, and also gettin' by Shells'n'the guard. The pairs should both be sleeping, at least.

Lord Umbra · #38

"Arr. Let's get Shells."

I assume this will be a boss battle and I may be passing up exp. Ah well...

Prince Toad · #39

Red: Well... there's two pairs in between us'n'Shells if we walk straight up the east beach, where we are now. The two people on the west beach are sleepin' alone. If we're real careful, we might be able to sneak up in between, although ye can see for yerself it's narrow. What d'ye think?

a) Head up the east beach (ambush pair)
b) Head up the west beach (ambush single person)
c) Sneak in between (remember-- Shells is probably awake, so even if you do reach him without further bloodshed, you'll have to end him quickly or it'll be a tough fight)
d) Something else

Lord Umbra · #40

Hm... B it is.
