HumenQuest - Ironhide: Thread 2 DM No.363330[Last 50 Posts]
As we last left our heroes, they had retrieved the Shard of Light, stopped a major Drakin cultist assembly and found information pointing to Ironhide being Sir Valiance, thought long since dead.
Now they are joined by the spymasters Cloak and Dagger, as well as a nameless necromancer prisoner. Their mission: enter the Grand Capital Necropolis and awaken Commander Glory, Valiance's mentor, to aid in the coming battle.
Time grows short
Ironhide will soon reach Grand Capital.
AND NOW FOR THE THRILLING CONCLUSION!

The necropolis entrance is built into a large, ornately carved boulder.
The spymasters drag the iron gates open after unlocking the three locks that kept them secure
>The hero crypts are our destination
>Commander Glory rests among the highest of honors there
>Bring the prisoner
>We will scout ahead
They leave the prisoner's chain to you and slip in.
>The locks…
>I know. Let us be wary…

Your shot slams into the base of the wing joint, ricocheting off the bone and smashing one of the wings, ripping it in half and revealing more bleeding meat.
Roaring, Ironhide blasts the Stormherald with dark flame
"HIT THE DECK! HOLD ON!"
Roll to stay safe
Shard: 85/100
Ironhide: heavy damage to right wing, notable damage to the left wing, minor damage to head and body
>>365184
We started just a moment ago
>>365175
>>365173
Though your efforts drain you, you press on, helping the other mages to fill up the power needed.
Aeathertwist gets up and looks at the shard
"Enough! It is ready.
Now help me get the lens in here."
He turns to the other mages
"The rest of you, get the shard to the window!"
>>365172
You skitter down the Hork and grab the nearby railing.
This proves to be a bad call, as the massive force of the black flame almost knocks the ship over, blowing you against the mast and igniting your clothes.
The ship is on fire.
"EVERYONE LEFT ALIVE, PUT OUT THOSE FIRES BEFORE THEY BLOW US UP!
I'LL FLY IN CLOSE! GIVE IT HELL! THROW ANY BURNING GUNPOWDER BARRELS OVERBOARD!"
Shard: 106/100

"The lens was being calibrated in the upper floor. We should hurry."
>>365205
"Sir! The Stormherald is on fire!"
"…hurry indeed."
>>365196
You roll around a bit and toss the burning garments before you suffer any horrible damage from the fire.
Ironhide swoops in at the ship
"THE HOLD IS ON FIRE!"
"DUMP THE BURNING AMMO! JUST THROW IT AT HIM IF YOU MUST!"
The captain tries to gain altitude
Shard: needs the lens

Burning. Ammo.
Just how awesome is that?
LOAD IT IN MY DRAGONSLAYER!

You pull a flaming magazine of high-caliber ammo out of the hold and load it.
The intense heat of the flames slams against you as you take aim and let loose, emptying the entire thing in one massive burst.
The shells explode on impact, blasting apart flesh, bone and iron, ripping the right wing and causing Ironhide to dive.
"FORGET RELOADING THE CANNONS! DROP EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON IT AS IT GOES UNDER US! PREPARE THE MAIN GUN!"
>>365225
>>365226
You rush up the stairs with Aethertwist, with you hear a window shatter above
"No… NO!"

No dice.
Too much fuss going on.
>>365246
You kick the door in to see several bloodies drakin cultists, and the bodies of the mages who were working on the lens.
The lens itself is securely in a case on the far side of the room.
>>365254
Your shot blasts the left wing's bone asunder, raining gore all the way to the side of the ship.
The dragon buckles, knocking the Stormherald, before diving again.
The crew members throw burning barrels onto it, blowing apart its back armour and parts of its face.
It dives down, and for a moment, there is silence.

As you calmly observe the area, one leaps on you and smashes you against the floor, leaving you helpless

Your bolt shocks him into a paralyzed state, leaving him helpless
Aethertwist fires a magic bolt at one of the culstists
'1d10+2'
"GET THE LENS TO THE SHARD! HURRY!"
>>365289
After a moment, the cloud of smoke disperses, revealing Ironhide.
You have his undivided attention.
It begins charging another fire breath

You get up as Trillian punches the cultist aside
>>365324
You grab the lens and bring it to you
"GO! GET IT TO THE SHARD! I'LL HOLD THEM OFF!"
>>365317
You scurry off and hide behind a hatch.
The fire blast leaves you unharmed, but you can feel the Stormherald dipping. The balloons are deflating and the propellers are shattered. This ship is going down fast.

Time for desperate actions I guess. I still got my gun, no?
Blow the hork a kiss on the forehead.
"See ya on the ground!"
Run out of my hidey hole.
The dragon is still around, no?
Jump on top of it. Try to land on its back.

"Cultists WHAT?"
"The mounting is ready, it is by the window"
"Where is Aethertwist?"
>>365376
You fight your way down and rejoin the others, leaving Athertwist to hold the top
>>365373
The dragon is in front of you, hovering upright.
Your leap manages to catch its tail.
Looking at the Stormherald, you realize the captain has steered it into a crash course with the dragon
"EAT FLAMING DEATH YOU IRONCLAD SALAMANDER!"
You have a few turns until impact.
Use them well.

The tail whips you into the air.
As you fly up, you realize you have an opportunity for a good shot at its head.
>>365424
With the aid of the mages, you attach the lens to its mounting by the window.
The shard crackles with power, and looking through the lens, you can see Ironhide.
"Look! The Stormherald!"
"On fire? What… what is it-"
"They're going to ram Ironhide!"

You load a new magazine, the second to last one you have, and pull the trigger.
The recoil sends you flying backwards in a wide arc, sailing clear over the flaming Stormherald as Ironhide's face explodes into gore.
Below, you see the surviving crewmen simply stand and salute among the flames.
>>365452
The warship slams into the massive dragon, exploding into a colossal fireball as its ammo detonates.
The sheer force of the blast rip Ironhide's damaged wings asunder, and it begins to fall, desperately flapping to regain altitude.
It lands with a thundering crash, the sound of shattering bones echoing all the way into the city
"UNLEASH THE SHAAAAAAARD!"

Salute back while I fly, and watch them.

Unless I can use my gun to fly, I see no way to make it out of this alive.
Trees nearby?
Try a smooth landing from a few hundread meters fall?
Roll #1 9 + 1 = 10

The recoil of the gun is enough to toss you around in the air, so shooting it downwards should act as an air brake.
Loading your last magazine, you time your shots and make a landing after emptying the last round.
Also, Arnim kinda falls down like a rock, breaking the soil with a hard thump, but remaining unharmed due to game mechanics.
>>365492
Lets wait for Freke

The Shard unleashes the immense magical charge it contains.
Focusing through the lens into a single beam of iridescent energy, it blasts clean through the wounded Ironhide, causing its flesh to begin disintegrating.
The army charges forth as they see the beast fall, intent on defeating it as it lands.
Burnt, blasted, pierced and maimed, Ironhide cannot withstand the onslaught for long. In its wild, hate-filled eyes, not a single echo of fear or remorse is seen.
And in the aftermath, from deep inside the mangled carcass, Commander Glory walks out, carrying the earthly remains of his greatest pupil. Sir Valiance.
The body was consecrated and laid to rest in his tomb. The small note on the door removed, for his body had at last been recovered.
Commander Glory returned to his rest as well, to oversee his newest band of legendary heroes - those brave men who died on board the Stormherald, to sell their lives in order to buy victory for the Empire.
And what of our heroes?
Well…

Mollika the dragon slayer went back to town and got drunk some more with Arnim.
Over time, she opoened a school to teach capras how to fly.
The key, she always said, is to have a gun at least as big as you are.
But then she got bored and hit the road once more, I guess she tried to climb some impossibly high mountain or something.
While riding on Arnim's back, of course.
Oh, and she totally kept the dragon-slayer and the trick of the burning ammo, but she's not teaching that to nocapra.

Rale and his minion went back to traveling the world and killing stuff when they could get away with it. The two of them grew closer together, their plutonic relationship strengthened by the fact that they both inhabited forms that should not be able to support life.
