Part 007
Victory conditions
Total Failure: Gus or any one of his mercenaries escapes.
Results: They will return with the entire army and capture the
ship. The Nobles will not help return the children home.
Partial Failure: Gus or any one of his mercenaries has to be
run down, and are captured or killed in Paris in front of
witnesses.
Results: The furniture auctioned off
will only bring in half the expected value due to rumors. The
children will still be returned home.
Partial
Success: Gus and his three mercenaries are all killed or
captured.
Results: The auction will bring full
price in the bidding. All the children will be returned home.
Total Success: Instead of being killed,
all four are captured alive. They are stripped of their magic
items, and held till after the auction.
Results:
The auction brings full price. All the children will be
returned home.
Experience points:
For
the fight: normal experience is awarded for fatigue, damage done, and
target DX on a killing blow.
For each child returned
home (16): 80 points to be divided between the Captain, Uncle, Gail,
and Ada (or just the survivors of that group). This is a total
1,280 exp to be divided.
For each one of the
antagonists captured alive: 40 exp to be divided.
Auction
Value:
The entire barn full of furniture will bring
in a staggering $260,000. About half of this will be in gold.
In the case of a partial failure it will only bring in $130,000 and
there will be no gold. Of course the captain has to divide this
money among himself and the other pirate captains.
Bonus
Secret:
In the case of a success with a live
captive. After the auction, their memory can be altered by one
of the characters looking into their eyes in dragon form. This
will make them safe to release. But in the process of doing so
their memories will also be revealed. The characters will find
out about poor old Mr. Marious looked up in the basement of Gus'
villa.
A rescued Mr. Marious will be most grateful
and very willing to transfer his entire library to the ship. He
has read of Gigamax(uncle) and will recognize him from wood cuts in a
hundred year old tome called "The council of True Lords."
He will do all he can in the way of research to help defeat the
demons, and will become a very loyal ally. Later, after Uncle
captures his first iron demon ship, Marious will come forward with
new techniques for fighting the demons.
