Back in the Saddle

I think? I’m reactivating my Tumblr so I can post whitty stuff here about my fanon stuff on the Moon Guard RP server in World of Warcraft, but also my own writing and other stuff I’m working on.

I also have the headcanon that they don't kiss much?? Idk they don't strike me as the type to do affectionate things very often, but when it does happen it's not a big deal? Being comfortable around each other for them is probably the biggest show of their "relationship". Least I think so? idk.

Yeeeees. Yes exactly. yeeees.

[RP] The Longest Night

Jaguaro Isle July 8 Night

Taz stared into his small fire, exhausted but unable to sleep. The battle had left him battered, burned and bleeding…but losing Kael hurt worse, far worse, than any wound the warlock could possibly have inflicted. Taz had always idly wondered how the ancient Zandalari sacrifices of old felt, as the high priest ripped their still-beating heart from their chest; now he knew. There was no pain in the world, none, worse than being forced to watch a friend—a brother—in distress and be unable to help. He had seen it all from the ground, lying helplessly on his back where the warlock’s Fel-fire explosion had thrown him, as Kael was dragged into the portal. Taz had stumbled to his feet, trying to throw himself in after his friend…but by the time his rattled brain had put his muscles to work, it was already been far, far too late. His brother was gone.

 Gone like Umcha was gone. Gone like his brothers as sisters at the Wrathgate were gone—and so many others, in so many other battles over the years. Gone, gone, gone--

 A choking sob wracked his body, and he struggled mightily to inhale through the spasms in his chest. But the thought of Kael, the image of him being torn away, the thought of what might be happening to him, even now, was stronger even than his body’s need for air. He fell to a knee, caught halfway between abject despair and desperation. His hands dug into the earth, digging into the rich jungle soil, without his conscious control as he simultaneously tried to sob, and scream.

 What felt like hours could, in reality, have been no more than a minute, if that. The spasm was broken, quite abruptly, when his naked palm clawed mindlessly into the edge of the fire, and a true scream—more full of grief than pain—tore from his throat. He tried to jerk his arm back …but found, suddenly, that the limb seemed to be under his control no longer—or at least unresponsive to his instinct. He writhed on the ground as the flesh of his hand smoked, but the pain—and the unmistakable odor—seemed almost outside of himself in the oddest way. “FIGH’ IT!” he roared, almost mindlessly and at the top of his lungs, into the jungle night. “YA BETTAH FIGHT DIS KAEL! YA FAMILY WAITIN’ FOR YA! DON’ LET DIS RED MUDDAH FUCKAH SEE YA SQUIRMIN’!” And then, just like that, it was over. He was curled up against the side of his favorite boulder, clutching his burnt hand and screaming again—but it was the pure, primal, defiant cry of trollish bloodlust that tore from his throat now. “WE COMIN’ YA FUCKAH! DE WHOLE FAMILY BE COMIN’! AN WEN WE FIND YA, NOT EVEN DE LOA-FORSAKEN TWISTIN’ NEATHAH GONNA SAVE YA!”

Encounter 2.5: Battle on the Cursed Seas

Description: This is initially a 1v2 encounter with various people acting as crewmembers and having specific roles. The second phase becomes a 1v1 with Netherus and Taz’jin Darkspear.

After Kael’than’s defeat at the hands of the Fel Lord at the Throne of Kil’jaeden in Hellfire, Ilrethar ordered Netherus to tie up loose ends. On the back of Dreadtalon, the Fel Lord flies to destroy Emberglory’s ship ‘The Turncoat’s Folly,’ however, the Fel Lord did not expect resistance. The remaining of Bladeborn stand united on Emberglory’s ship, arming the cannons and preparing to blast the Fel Lord from the sky, sealing his fate at the bottom of the sea and securing them one step closer in rescuing Kael’than.

Phase 1: Burning Sky Meets Vengeful Ocean

During Phase 1, the encounter is essentially the Turncoat’s Folly versus Dreadtalon.

There are people aboard the ship assigned to different duties, the success of those tasks are decided by rolls. If the Turncoat’s Folly is destroyed during this phase, the encounter is over.

The Turncoat’s Folly: 10 HP

Dreadtalon: 10 HP

Turncoat’s Crew

Three crew members can go each turn, the Captain will be able to determine who at the beginning of the turn. The gunmen count as one unit.

Captain Emberglory (‘Roll’ Call): A successful roll allows Emberglory to select another crewmember who succeeds on rolls above 5 on their next roll. Does not apply to the gunmen.

Quartermaster Darkspear (De Dark Spear): A successful roll allows Taz’jin to chuck a spear instilled with dark voodoo energy at Dreadtalon, causing him to take an extra .5 damage from cannons next turn. If Dreadtalon is not hit by a cannon next turn, the debuff drops. A 20 roll doubles this effect.

Sailing Master Stormheart (Vengeful Ice): A successful roll allows Arcadius to coat the ship in a shield of ice, reducing damage taken by .5 next attack. A 20 roll allows the ship to absorb all damage.

Eviarra the Boatswain (Hat Trick): A successful roll allows Eviarra to lunge from the masts of the ship, striking Dreadtalon, causing Dreadtalon to miss on rolls under 15, a 20 roll causes Dreadtalon to become disoriented and not be able to attack next turn.

Surgeon Mandragoran (Deadman’s Prayer): A successful roll allows Nynaevve to pray for the lost souls of the sea, summoning them to repair the ship 1 HP. A 20 doubles this effect. If a gunman is down, Nyn can use the roll to bring them back up instead.

The Gunmen (FIRE!): 3 Gunmen arm the cannons, if called upon by the Captain, each gunman rolls. The gunmen firing counts as a turn for the Turnboat crew. A successful roll does .5 damage, a roll of 20 does one damage. If all three cannons fire, they hit with such force that Dreadtalon takes an extra one damage. A 1 roll causes the cannon to misfire, causing a gunman to fall. Busted Cannons: If all three gunmen are down the cannons bust, causing them to be unable to fire next turn; however, the turn after causes two gunmen to man their stations once again.

Dreadtalon

Dreadtalon chooses abilities to use each turn, in order to assist in his destruction of the Turncoat’s Folly:

Fel Quills: A successful roll causes fel quills to launch towards the ship, exploding on impact. They deal 1 damage, an odd success roll (11, 13, 15, 17, 19) allows for a reroll. This can keep stacking until an odd success not rolled. A 20 does double damage but does not allow for a reroll.

Sky Shattering Screech: A successful roll causes Dreadtalon to focus the screech at a gunman, causing them to fall and dealing one damage. A 20 causes two gunmen to fall and deal two damage.

Deck Destroyer: A successful roll causes Dreadtalon to unsheathe his talons and rake them against the deck of the ship, dealing damage to the ship and incapacitating a crew member next turn, not allowing them to roll. A 20 does double damage and causes Dreadtalon to snatch a crew member with his talons and toss them into the sea, removing them from the encounter.

Bird of Prey: On a successful roll, Dreadtalon submerges under the water, catching a school of fish in his mouth, healing him for 1.5 HP. A 20 doubles this effect.

Ram: A successful roll causes Dreadtalon to ram the ship’s side, dealing 2 damage to the ship, a follow up roll will determine if he is stunned next turn (a successful roll means he is not). A roll of 20 does 4 damage and there is no follow up roll.

Phase 2: Bye, Bye, Birdie!

This phase turns the encounter into a 1v1 fight. While the rest of the crew is assessing damage to ship and healing the wounded, Taz’jin Darkspear finds the Fel Lord at the helm of the ship and engages him after the obliteration of Deathtalon.

Taz’jin Darkspear 8 HP

Da Voodoo Shank: High end rolls, 18, 19, 20. Cause Taz’jin to do double the amount of damage.

Bwonsamdi’s Revenge: Upon falling, Taz’jin is reinvigorated with Bwonsamdi’s rage giving him 1 HP and is allowing him an immediate attack. This can only happen once.

Fel Lord Netherus 8 HP

Khothec’s Last Stand: Odd success rolls (11, 13, 15, 17, 19) causes Khothec to cripple Taz’jin, making his next hit do half the damage.

Fel Fire Defense: At 4 HP, the Fel Lord combusts into Fel Flame, burning attackers for .5 HP when they successfully strike him.

Bird Brains: A 1 roll causes the Fel Lord to take double damage.

Encounter 2: The Fel Lord

This is the encounter, revised after testing.

Location: The Throne of Kil’jaeden (Hellfire)

Fel Lord Netherus

After being enslaved by an Eredar of the Burning Legion, Netherus had no choice but to carry out his task. Now hunted down by the Bladeborn Concurrence, he issues his final challenge to Kael’than Embershield to ensure his Master’s will be done and the Bladeborn leader drinks of the blood.

Description This will be a standard 1v1 DnD duel with two phases and perks associated with each side. Kael’than and Netherus’ HP has been increased to 10 for this encounter.

Mechanics:

Khothec, the Doomguard (Cripple): On odd numbered successful rolls (11, 13, 15, 17, 19) Khothec cripples Kael’than, removing his ability to call for aid his next turn. (Active in both phases)

Final Fate: If both Netherus and Kael’than fall on the same turn, both roll again, the highest roll wins the encounter.

Phase 1: Burning Skies

Dreadtalon: Every three turns Netherus will mount Dreadtalon, his corrupted raven, and ascend into the sky above the throne. Netherus becomes unattackable this turn; however, Embershield can use an ability from the sides. The next turn, Dreadtalon descends from the skies dealing 1 damage to Kael’than. Dreadtalon always goes first and does not need to roll to deal damage from descending.

Terror of the Skies: Upon a successful roll, Dreadtalon grabs an assistant with his massive talon during his descent and tosses them from the Throne, removing them from the encounter.

Phase 2: WE ARE LEGION!

Fel Fire Defense: At 4 HP, Netherus combusts into a fel flame, burning Kael’than for .5 HP every successful attack made against Netherus. The fire causes Dreadtalon to flee the fight.

Final Chaos: Upon falling, Netherus launches a Chaos Bolt that does 1 damage.

Bladeborn Concurrence

Kael’than will be able to call on assistants from the sidelines in place of his attack. He cannot call on assistants two times in a row.

Eviarra (Leeching Poison of Shared Fate): Eviarra rolls to attack, if she connects successfully she heals Kael’than for 1 HP and deals 1 damage to the enemy. If it is a 20 roll she does double damage and heals Kael’than for 2 HP.

Nynaevve Mandragoran (Prayer): A successful roll causes a prayer to heal Kael’than for 1 HP and reduces damage taken next turn only by half. A 20 causes Kael to be healed 2 HP and take no damage next turn only.

Taz’jin Darkspear (Da Voodoo Surprise!): Taz’jin appears from the shadows, attempting to wedge his dagger into the Fel Lord’s hipbone. A successful hit causes the Fel Lord to miss any attack 15 and below his next roll. A 20 roll, incapacitates the Fel Lord his next turn.

Lurlei Emberglory (Cap’n’s Revenge): Upon a successful roll, Emberglory shoots Dreadtalon’s wing, causing the Fel Lord to immediately dismount and allowing Embershield to follow up with an attack. In Phase 2, Lurlei’s successful roll will allow her to douse the Fel Lord with sea water, causing his flames to die down and not burn Kael’than when he attacks (Lasts 1 turn).
