Shining Force RPG session 22
Text version
===== SESSION START =====
The caravan drives towards new Granseal... A large camp of monsters can be
seen ahead... Surrounding the town...
* Baine raises an eyebrow and hauls up her mask...
ooh.. blood. ^_^ We get to kill things soon
Huh?
* Chamolo sighs. "Well, we knew we'd face opposition..but.."
Looks like its time for another fight, *Sigh*
* Kodah puts the book aside and looks out the window
Erk! o_O
* Baine idly removes herself from Cham's arm and peers at the monsters..
* Kiwi pokes his head out of his shell... "Meep?"
Where'd they all come from?
A really big bitchass mother fucker monster?
Probably from the tower
* Indigo looks at the monsters, then goes up and sits next to Baine, poking her.
Probably.
So, after all this time, do you still believe in fighting and killing?
o_O
* Baine blinks..
Fighting and killing?
Fun, isn't it?
* Chamolo looks out the window, sizing up the enemy...
* Baine 's eyes darken a bit.
....depends.
How are we gonna get past all those monsters? o_o;;
* Lara drives the Caravan towards the monster encampment...
We'll hack our way through, Kodah.
Hmmmm.......
How else?
o_o;;
Relax, it'll be fun
Sacrifical lamb?.....no...
Fun? ^^;;
Don't worry, the light will shine on you too Baine, and then you will
understand the power of life and goodness.
Indigo, shut up. Okay?
Aren't we gonna need a tactitian for this fight?
* Chamolo looks at Baine, sighing. "She's got a point..."
who cares about life and goodness when we're out to do death and destruction?
Yeah. Where is 'ole Wings and Hooves?
* Baine glances at Chamolo..
Erin?
* Indigo sighs and shakes her head, patting her shoulder, then sitting down next to
Crest.
* Erin wanders in... *
Erin, we have a bit of a problem...
Hmmm.......
* Chamolo points to all the monsters.
I hope she finds her light one day. She could do so much good for the world,
but is so....moody.
Why don't we just "bum rush" these critters from behind
* Erin surveys the enemy's layout... *
* Kodah looks at Erin and waits o_o;;
* Baine awaits Erin's suggestions.
Heh....in the old days, I would've snuck around the camp and doused everything
with gasoline....then light it up...
* Chamolo puts all his faith in Erin to make her feel more pressure =D
Maybe then get some marshmellows..
So Erin, what do you think?
The back lines are weak monsters... Around 50 goblins and archers... Front
lines have Wyverns, orks and a few lesser demons... A group of around 30...
O_o
* Erin hmmms... *
* Kiwi pokes his head back in his shell... ^_^;
. o O (Kiwi no see that... ^_^;)
I'd flank them on either side, personally.
Are you suggesting we split up?
And close them in from opposite sides?
That could be dangerous..
There sure are a lot of them ^^;;
Sounds like an okay idea Erin, if there were more of us
I say we split them up and take ten of a time
* Indigo frowns, falling back into insanity.
* Baine taps her chin.
* Indigo jumps up and down like a little girl.
* Chamolo looks at Indigo...
Ooooo..... let me play with the monsters! I'll call Apollo!
The groups are on stand still, holding siege to the town... Noone is
fighting....
Her sanity was so nice while it lasted...
Okay... new plan... we agitate them... and piss off little small groups of
them... lead them a ways a away, and slaughter them... then go back, and lure more
away...
Well anyway, might be best to split them up and split ourselves up as well.....
Erin...how long would that take? ^_^;
* Chamolo hmms.
I like the idea of tackling a few at a time ^^:;
I say we split up...take 'em from opposite sides....but...you're the
tactician..
Rinse, lather, repeat as necessary...
Lather?
* Indigo prepares to summon Apollo, then stops as her sanity returns.
We should take ten at a time....
* Darton wags his tail in anticipation of the slaughter to come
This way might the best course, right Erin?
* Baine eyes Chamolo, grinning lustfully. "Lather. Shower. Rubbing of liquid into the
scalp until it bubbles."
A yelling, whining, agitated black sorceress is heard and seen in the front
lines!
* Lara stops the caravan.
* Baine raises an eyebrow at the yelling. :P
* Kodah holds up a hand as if to ask a question ^^;;
* Indigo looks to the sorceress.
It would seem ideal, provided our opposition is as dull as I think they are.
* Crest looks out
* Indigo thinks.
Ow....my ears...
Why not simply summon Neptune and wash them away, or Omnislash them?
The voice seems oddly familiar... Sounds like Indigo...
* Kiwi growls...
O_o Oh no..
Hm. The bitch is back?
We're going to have fun -_-
* Baine grins rather evilly
Who?
Yes, yes we are.
What?
Oh no, my opposite.
We can kill her too... let's go on out there
Of course... what would really be nice would be a catapault...
I like the way you think sometimes, pup...
Um...Professor Erin....can I ask a question?
Could we catapult Darton there? He seems to want to fight so badly.
Crest, I have an opposite named Indigo. She is my evil twin you might say,
created from my dark side.
Load it full of Granseal Fire... and we'd waste a whole lot of them first...
Ask away, Kodah.
Well, *opens the book* it says here, "Strike when your oppnent does not expect"
Hmmm, good idea, but uh we need wood to do that
Shouldn't we take out their patrols or something so they won;t know where we
are?
* Indigo nods.
* Baine raises an eyebrow at Kodah
^^;;
* Darton ignores Chamolo and continues staring out the window, panting and wagging his
tail
Hmmm, sounds like an idea, but it could take awhile
* Kiwi lets the "humans" come up with the strategy, and'll just go along with it... ^^;
I'll summon Atlas and create a rainstorm that will mask us, and have Dao rip
open the ground beneath their feet to distact them.
If they had patrols, that army would be all over us a mile back... it's just
the mass...
Why don't we just go in there and kick some ass?
* Kodah looks a bit dissapointed, "Oh"
* Chamolo sighs.
Because that's suicidal, Baine.
Let's break into groups and attack them
Flank them on three sides
Suicidal is fun!
True. But I don't like the time we're wasting discussing this..
* Baine nods to Crest.
Toothpaste boy has a good idea.
* Kodah shuts up an lets the tactician do her work ^^;;
Three would spread us far too thin...
Two, then?
One on each side?
East and west?
* Crest glares at Baine "Don't make me hurt you"
* Chamolo looks at Baine, wondering what's up with her...?
I'm shaking Crest. Really. But before you "hurt me", why don't we get outta
this first.
Now now, behave children.
I'd prefer hit and run over a direct attack...
* The hand of the Narrator baps Crest! "She can cripple you and castrate you without
you even knowing it... Don't look for a fight, kid..."
* Indigo steps between Crest and Baine.
^^;;
* Baine grins oddly at Indigo.
* Baine turns back to Erin, thinking..
Hit and run?
Hmmm..
* Crest shoots a needle through the Narrator's eye "Shaddup ya damn Narrator!"
* Narrator blocks with the hand of the Narrator.
Yeah... like poking a wasps nest with a stick... piss them off a little bit at
a time.
That would make this far more manageable.
Yeah...I can see the advantages of that.
Perhaps..but there's still so many..
The orks at the front start to dispatch and go to attack the front gate to
weaken the opponent's forces!
what's wrong with just running up and killing them all at once?
Oh shit.
We have to act.
NOW.
And my opposite commands them, and she is as powerful as I am.
* Baine stares at the orks, eyes flashing..
big deal, we take her out first, they have no order, mopping up is easy
Oh my goodness...
Um....
But Volcanon said only I can destroy her.
then you destroy her! :P
I say we split up, still.
* Baine shrugs.
* Chamolo hmms..
Okay... they've made a mistake... we're flanking.. Two groups, either side.
Hmmm, they left the weak ones behind, we should attack them now
* Baine nods.
Good..
Okay...
let's split up
Who is going with who?
* Baine draws AmeShi and grins.
Yes, let's do that.
whatever, just lemme know when we can kill stuff
Um....who's going with who?
* Chamolo picks up his staff. "Who's going with who?"
What about the people in the city, maybe they can weaken them first, then we
fight.
We need to balance out our fighters with our healers/mages
Hit hard, and fast, press the attack until the tougher ones intervene. Fall
back if you need to once they arrive.
== Team split up. Name the two groups
We shouldn't involve cavillians, Indigo..
Erin, Indigo, Kodah, and Baine in one group, rest with me, there's my
suggestion
* Baine shakes her head.
Fighters one side.
Magic users the other.
Hmmm......
But what if we come across a strong offensive group?
We'd be creamed.
Indigo goes with Chamolo. Darton comes with us.
* Kodah looks at Erin, "What do you think?"
Baine, I, Kodah, Darton, and Erin should go with me
Thats why you have Indigo, babe.
* Chamolo shrugs.
Kiwi say balance on both sides... or one side get smushed if magic users
present and other side get smushed if big mean warriors attack.
Me, Crest, Dart, Erin.....Chamolo, Indigo, Kodah, Kiwi?
We'd better hurry...
Baine, I, Kodah, Darton and Erin, in one group, the other group should be Lara,
Indigo, Chamlo, and umm.......
Those Orks look angry.. O_o
Kiwi
^^;;
Yes...okay. That works. Nice and balanced.
. o O ( dammit, I don't want to be with the prissy horse girl... )
The orks bash at the wall relentlessly, one or two being knocked down by
archers on the palissades...
* Baine growls and leaps out of the caravan.
* Kiwi looks at Crest. "Yup?"
That works well right?
Kiwi, go with Lara, Indigo, and Chamolo.
Right!
* Kiwi shrugs.
* Baine glances at Chamolo..
I'll be fine, Baine. Be careful!
Aren't I always?
* Baine grins.
FlameStrike is nowhere to be seen...
Since you have Baine, we get the giant lizard!
Since you have Baine? Ehhh..
Can we just MOVE?!
* Baine twirls AmeShi and then sneezes.
Augh
Baine, I, Kodah, Darton and Erin, in one group, the other group should be Lara,
Indigo, Chamlo, and Kiwi, I think that's the best arrangment
Shut up and make up your minds so we can kill things
Bless you.
^_^
* Baine sneezes again!
Bless you. ^_^
Nnh... -_-
Yeah, I think Crest's divisions will work...
Okay.
Then lets GO.
Okay.
Okay?
Right
* Baine heads to the east of the monsters..
* Chamolo follows his group
* Indigo goes off with her group.
* Crest doesn't follow Baine, but heads east
* Kodah heads out, following his orders :\
* Darton trots along with his group in a general way
* Baine approaches the monsters carefully, AmeShi flaming darkly..
* Baine glances at Erin..
== Team seperations: Baine, Crest, Kodah, Darton and Erin, |||| Lara,
Indigo, Chamlo, and Kiwi
* Kodah sneaks a peek at the enemy from over a ridge ^^;;
The two teams split up in different directions, ready to commence the
offensive...

Team #1 starts their fight...
* Crest looks over the army "This is gonna be the big one...."
^^;;
* Baine narrows her eyes
* Erin launches herself into the air, feeling more at home there than on the ground...
* Kodah ulps, and clumsily draws his sword
* Crest pulls out his flute.....and waits for the attack
* Darton grins and wanders out to meet the enemy, grinning like an idiot
* Baine grins and takes off for the enemy ^_^
So much for organization... :P
* Darton is in front of Baine, happily, and runs off! :p
* Erin takes off after the other two.. *
Hey! Wait for me! o_O
* Crest sighs and follows "Idiots"
* Kodah runs after the others ^^;;
* Baine grins evilly
A band of goblins turn around and attack the team!
* Crest plays a battle tune

* Baine growls and ducks into offensive stance.

ball of energy hurtling towards her opponent!! *

thingies! Stupid green munchkins!

* Baine's eyes flicker into a red color and she gazes coolly at Crest..
== The ice freezes the goblins, dealing 12 damage each.
...you want feeling? Fine...
oh damn it, they're still alive!
* Kodah steps back, and is transformed into a massive ball of lightning. He surges
forward, blasting through the Goblins with amazing strength!
== The lightning attack, directed at 1 goblin, expands to hit the whole
goblin team, melting them to a puddle of green puss! 11 damage on each! Dispatched!
* Baine clenches her fist around the hilt of AmeShi and the blade's flames suddenly
flicker to life again, darker and angrier..

Ow... ^^;;
