SteemQuest : The Church (part 1)
As you approach the church the cover of the trees makes everything look a big darker. As the sun sets and twilight begins the whole area takes on an eerie glow.
As you huddle together discussing your next move. Quaid discovers 2 gold pieces and Omar is distracted by a small pile of dirt near a gravestone. As he starts to kick the pile, aiming to flatten it athe doors to the church fly open.
You see 2 of the Lord’s Knight stumble back bleeding. As they regain their footing and brace for battle a 3rd knight flys through the open doors and falls motionless on the ground. He is clearly dead as his head is on backwards.
Then you see it. A black mist as big as the front of the church moves forward. It starts to solidify with red eyes and a sword the size of a horse.
You hear it’s laugh and you get a chill to your bone..
Here is the card for the new monster:
We are now using the board game rules.
You all have 4 actions.
The party goes 1st then the monsters.
Gravestones do not block Line of Sight but walls and buildings do.
Let’s Play !!
Omar is busy kicking the dirt. ses a dwarf ruining past him. ses the monster...
using 4 turns Charge the monster in a straight line.
OOC: dual attack is 2 turns or? 2 dice throw?
Dual attack is 1 action and 2 dice throw
Thunk takes 1/2 a step forward... Steps back.
OOC: According to the new rules I only have a range of 6 spaces and am 10 spaces away, so if new rules apply, I need to run 4 spaces. If old rules apply, I let loose with my fireballs. If I remember correctly, I can throw 2 of them in 1 turn. @rolld20 for attack.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
Success! Let the 2nd fireball fly! @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 8.
Boomshackalacka! Take that you monster!
OOC: How much damage do each of my fireballs do?
OMG... I'm blind! Thanks for answering stupid questions. And that thing has ... (how many hearts???!!!) I need to see the character card of that monster again. It's gonna eat us alive unless it misses LOTS.
I am increasing fireball to 2 ❤️ Damage and Range 10
Wait a minute... is that 1 heart per square? If that thing is spread over 4 squares at 1 heart per space hit, then each fireball hitting its target knocks off 4 of its hearts, meaning it is down 8 hearts already! Otherwise, a direct hit and a miss that still touches the enemy would essentially have the same effect.
It’s absorption is 10 ❤️
Yes 2 fireballs is 8 heart ❤️ of Damage across all of its squares.
It absorbs 10❤️ Before it begins to take damage.
I am changing fireball back to 10 Range so you are fine to shoot twice
Thanks! Much appreciated at this point in time.
Quick! While that beastie is distracted by those guards! Charge! Heh heh, that rhymes.
“Darn Dwarf. Ain’t got no sense.” Thunk charges after ET. Yells backwards, “Someone protect that healer gal. We’re gonna need her”. Running for all 4 actions
Hahaha Thunk, when did you become the brainy one? If we wait until he's no longer distracted then he'll eat us one by one. Me kin put on a play every year around the hearth.. and the bad guys always line up to fight the hero, we ain't no henchmen... CHARRRRGE!
4 actions of run is 7 squares of movement
Am I able to fireball it without hitting friendlies? Aim off to the side or something?
If you aim right at it you will not hit friendlies. The monster takes up 4 squares (2x2)
if you miss it will most likely still clip it.
The one knight on the ground is already dead. So you don’t have to worry about him
I am glad I am so far back on the map (maybe I should just slip away with my 2 gold?) Awwww, nuts. Quaid runs forward but not past any dwarfs or Thunks.
Also, what app do I need to read the rules?
They are just a pdf here is the link to it on my dropbox
Here is the current rules: (they are cleaned up a little, I am still adding things)

If you have trouble with that this post has the current rules
https://steemit.com/playbypost/@simplegame/steemquest-meet-the-players-core-rules-join-us
when I download from dropbox, it saves in a .page format.
Actually I tried again just now and this time it saved as a .jpeg but only the first page.
Ok let me work on that. I made it in pages and told it to export to PDF
Thanks for letting me know.
Give me a few minutes

Thunk looks back over shoulder. “Hey elf! This is the time for those fireballs. Let em fly.”
Hey folks... look. This place hasn't seen any traffic in a while. I would guess there are no church-goers in this town any more. Those coins are all dusty, meaning they were dropped some time ago and nobody has been around to find them until now. This all seems rather curious and I can see why we have been asked to look into this mystery. I've a feeling this is going to be some adventure!
Oh wow! And there it is... and it is HUGE!!! What the heck is that thing??!!
