[META] The Scathing Wrath of the Empress (N's N)

[nepsah]

Deimos attacks the Voracious, Virulent, Reanimated Helmsman!
{bonus attack}

HP: 7/20
Dmg Dealt: 3 x 2 = 6
Miniboss HP: 6/40

Using Trinket, Novice Offensive B - 2d6 Deal double damage on this attack, 1x per battle. 1 ongoing damage for all turns after.

Remembering the beamtube he carried with him, Deimos grabbed it, squeezing it until he felt his strength rejuvenate. He started forward, striking the helmsman hard in the head as he slid on past it across the smooth flooring. He then darted out of the way as the creature began to retaliate. "It's distracted, hit it now!" He called out to the others as he did his best to dodge incoming shrapnel.

MINIBOSS: 6 - 4 = 2

This helmsman just wouldn't let up. The yellowblood let out a groan of pain, wincing and struggling to keep pressure on the yellowblooded gash on her side. She readjusted her uniform before attempting another hit, leaving it almost down. "I-I cannot-- Could someone...?"

Caiden huffed and puffed as the undead thing finally went down. He held a hand to his side, feeling the bruises and, hopefully not broken bones ache. That one had really hit him around all over the place, it was no wonder too, everyone looked a little worse for wear. "Good job guys." the brownblood said, trying to straighten up and gather back some energy.

Caiden looked over Etsali. She had such a look of calm, collected-ness, and clarity. The brownblood watched her a little longer, still feeling his plumpbiscuit beating in a painful way in his chest. He just, he just needed to calm down. The brownblood fallowed Etsali's lead, closing his eyes and focusing on himself. Breathe in, breathe out. This was okay, they could do this.

Advance 9

Deimos looks around

HP: 7/20

God, he felt like he could just crumble into a million pieces. He rubbed at the cut on his head, bringing his hand away to examine the teal blood coating it. Great... he'd need to get that looked at as soon as they returned to the base. The hall that Faithe had taken them down seemed mostly empty, at least until he spotted an open door. "Hey, there's a supply room here." Dei stepped into the room, taking a moment to look around. Maybe there'd be some of those industrial bandages in here...

Caiden felt so much better now after he had taken a moment to clear his head, calm his plumpbiscuit, and see things clearly. The brownblood was relativity collected as he went ahead and looked at what was ahead. The boy pulled out something odd, giving it a look. As he went back to his team he grinned, holding it up. "Hey Guys! Look what i found!"

Advance 10
Looking for loot

Deimos advances the group

HP: 7/20

Honestly the entire group was looking a little worse for wear at this point. He eyed the gas they'd found, recognizing it from a previous ship he'd been on. "That s**t works nice to give a boost." They'd better... hold onto that. Stiffly, he limped his way toward the next open door. "Oh, boy. We got another fancy door over here." He sighed and leaned against the doorway- Faithe or Hifumi could take care of the door. He just needed to rest a little longer. Were they almost done yet?

Caiden had a more serious look on his face as he faced the next door. It looked a lot more sturdy than the last one. Most doors were rusted, or had obvious wires, switches, and degrading parts that let a troll tell easily if it was trapped. This door has a little of that, but to make matters worse it was also completely intact and sturdy. "This one looks like it has a lot more life in it as compared to the others..." He said with a frown.

Advance 11
Looking at the door
Its locked and trapped

"Got it!" The yellowblood responded, watching her take down the trap with ease. She thanked Caiden for his healing— She truly needed it, especially after that hard hit. Hopefully she could manage the lock with similar ease— She had a good feeling about this door. Like it held something important.

Maybe it did— And that was why she hadn't been able to unlock it. Vremea groaned inwardly, looking back at her team and realizing Deimos looked just as worn out as before. She shuffled quickly toward him, patting his shoulder again and managing to give him another quick heal. All these heals were truly tiring her out...

vrem slams in for -5 hp

It was okay, she had other ways of opening it— Like using brute force! Slamming her other shoulder into the door, the yellowblood stumbled in with a groan before realizing— Whoah, what the... The amount of gerbils in the ship was almost too large for her to comprehend. She immediately dodged the onslaught of attacks, taking the chance to catch her breath after slamming the door in. Her shoulders were both sore now...

This is a mini-boss battle, the full rules and mechanics of which can be reviewed here.

1 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the ship away.*
2 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. As the screens boot up however, dozens of red warnings and errors flash across the screen. It seems like there has been critical damage to the ship in multiple places. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
3- The ship refuses to power on, even after you follow headquarters instructions to make sure they are plugged in, and hitting ctrl-alt-del. It looks like something core is not functioning. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
4- Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the boarding vessel away.*
If any troll in the party has helmsman authority, they can steer the ship to given coordinates, then return to the boarding vessel with the rest of the team.
Congratulations! You have completed your mission and returned back to the docking area! Squad commanders, be sure to report in!
