Palathadric

"Oh...um...interesting. How many of you have met him...or her...or whatever, before?"

"I could have sword, from the histories I read, that Passion was supposed to be a man, not a woman..."

I use a Phoenix Essence on Boomingham

I repeat and then Dual-Strike Dark Druid B. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but it doesn't appear as if the other Dark Druids used their passive specials... ...not that I'm complaining.

I attack Boomingham from the back row?

Is Boomingham still supposed to be fast asleep? "We go back in there, that is what we do." I say determinedly.

Something I don't understand, please forgive me if it's staring me in the face and I failed to see it, but is it +10 max HP? I wouldn't have thought so, but I don't see why else Throlar would want to be healed. Also, both the positive and negative "boosters" just last for one round and then go back to normal, right?

I throw a Smoke Bomb from the Back Row If we're going with the plan of Petaldan throwing a Smoke Bomb, then there's not a whole lot of point in drinking a mead.

I think he can because of this: Multi-tool Attachment (Artificial arm, Enables user to ignore the weapon restrictions of their class excluding Shields, Handwear, Suitable for Vindsval),

I drink a Nostrum and dual-strike Dark Druid D from the Front Row with the Dual Staff

"Yay!" Indeed.

Just wondering does "Permanently Hexed" mean that he can't be remedied this battle, or just that it won't wear off after one round?

I equip the Cape of Extravagance

"How did that work out for you? If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine...I understand. For the record, the demon we destroyed was the Archdemon of Wrath, Marilyth (Forgive me if that isn't spelled right). And yes, it was with one of those things. That chap Atramor just sucked that devil down after we battered him heavily. It was quite a sight!" "I think the problem with Heroica was that it accepted just anyone. In the past, I thought it was a horrible thing, but really it seems that it may have been a good thing in some ways. Many people who started out with Heroica operating with selfish interests turned around and realized some form of humanity. Now of course, in times of crisis people begin thinking about why they joined Heroica and if they are really here with the same goals as others, but the fact is that, though we have made our mistakes, Heroica has been, overall, a force for good in the world, I believe, and that was even though it bore many 'Heroes' with a capital 'H' but not necessarily of a heroic nature. Nevertheless, Heroica did have a way of bringing out a heroic nature in people...most people at least, even some who never had it before... but maybe that is just the way I see it." Did Benji give Pretzel the Cape of Extravagance?

I laugh. "No. I too have experience in such dealings. Though I have to say, a good friend of mine turned the last archdemon I met into a decamon playing card, so..." "It actually worked pretty well last time I faced an archdemon in his lair...but we don't have the same party as I had with me back then."

I give a Phoenix Incense to Karie, Vindsval, Lind, and Benji, and both a Phoenix Incense and a Phoenix Essence to Kiray and Throlar. "Let's spread these out a little." I hand Benji the Prophet Imperial's Armour. "I...well, it's not the happiest of tales. I don't like to think about it...and no, I don't need anything...Well, actually that Cape of Extravagance looks like it could be a useful addition to me, since you aren't wearing it anyway." I give Benji any gems that are supposed to be in my inventory which he doesn't have.

"Throlar, I believe you can equip another artifact. Take this Darksteel Armour. ...Benji, do you want this Imperial Prophet's Armour?"

"Or...actually, you could try to extract him without me using a Smoke Bomb. We can then see whether these beings try to resist our efforts."

I turn to Ezeran and Torald, "Do you think that you would be able to extract him from the root mesh if I throw a Smoke Bomb?"

"May I ask just how potent the power of the Fairy Dust is...Is there any chance it could restore the dead to life? "An archdemon out on the loose, eh? I have a feeling that destroying this 'Rosier' and their fortress/factory/whatever it is will go along way in ridding us of the problem in Eubric. It would seem as if we have been sent for a reason, don't you think?"

"Well, well, well, Benji! I never would have guessed that you were of the Fae, but surprises are constantly there for us..."

"Oh...hi Guts!"

I accept the Totem, but store it in my bag of holding.

"Alright, miss!" I turn back to the Walking Mountain. A part of me wants to stay and fight it out with him, but I pull myself away and rush after after the scientist.

"Um...Boomingham...um...are you alright? Can you hear me? Do you remember why we're here?"
