FYI: 1 canteen is only good for 1 day.... And the negotiations begin! "Excuse me disgusting pig? 5 gold? 5? Around 80 percent off? No way, I'll lower it to 24." EDIT: You can also trade items for priority items.

Mwahaha! Most fun challenge yet has got to be in Quest 8.

The adventurers decide to go shopping NOW. The party walks through the town. A group of men are huddled around, looking at the ground. Yelling and cheers start. A closer examination shows that a tortoise crossed a line in the sand, before four others. Money could be seen exchanging hands. They continue. "Hello, welcome to our stables." says a woman. Though they venture too close to the Town Hall, and another grumpy guard shakes his head. The adventurers go a different direction. They bypass a blacksmith and a residential section into a large square- the town bazaar. "Time to shop till we drop!" exclaims Nyx. "Umm.." Boomingham replies, "I think we'll drop BEFORE we shop, look." Though they don't see what Boomigham saw. "Greetings, heroes, please get what you need, I'll check you out." says a market worker, "What's wrong Boomingham?" asks Amorith. Realization hits them- the prices are jacked up. Adventurers- PREPARE FOR HAGGLE! Try and lower the price, and some items you can trade without using money. It's probably a good idea to get the priority items in red. Potion – Restores 10 health to the target. Costs 15 gold. Tonic – Restores 5 ether to the target. Costs 45 gold. Grand Potion – Restores 25 health to the target. Costs 30 gold. Grand Tonic – Restores 15 ether to the target. Costs 90 gold. (or trade) Elixir – Restores 50 health and 10 ether to the target and removes all negative effects from the target during a battle. Costs 120 gold. Remedy – Removes all negative effects from the target during a battle. Costs 30 gold. Phoenix Essence – Revives a fallen ally with full health during a battle. Costs 150 gold. (or trade) Venom – Use on a weapon to make it cause a poisoned-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle. A poisoned enemy loses 1 health each turn. Costs 15 gold. Shovel 31 gold *priority* Map 25 gold *priority* Water Canteens 28 gold *priority* NOTE: When you start searching in the desert, you will need water everyday! If the party leader forgets to distribute water, knights, rangers, and rogues lose 2 health, and mages and clerics lose 1 health and 1 ether from dehydration. On a map, each X represents half a day of travel, so remember to not waste water and drink only every other X. Each canteen heals 1 hit point or 1 ether- your choice. If you run out of water, you'll have to travel all the back to town.

Quest 8 is going well! I can't wait to see the result of this next challenge.

Then warm turns into unbearably hot and everyone gets sunburn and takes 2 fire damage! And shopping turns into a nightmare a walking in high-heals, shoppers lose 1 health from painful feet!

"I'm just asking when you get in the town if you want to shop."

"Thanks," says the guard. He takes the ring and dumps it in ink. He then presses the ring against a sheet of paper. He then takes a closer look at the seal. "Oh, this is the seal of the captain who transport those of Heroica! It's really you! In fact, I'm your guide to Carthago." The heroes exchange glances like he is out of his mind. "Sir, aren't we in... Carthago?" says Boomingham, helping with diplomacy. "Nope. Didn't your captain tell you? This is another port. You still need to go East. But it's not safe because of cow shooting crossbowmen corsairs. So we travel on land, and I guide you. Come." One day later, in a hot morning..... "There it is. There is Carthago. Don't you love seeing those domes in the distance? Quite a marvel. I must warn you, the villagers will want you questing the first thing tomorrow. You may do your shopping in the market now, or wait until the morning to get last minute goods. (you will)" informs the guide. EDIT: Pandora, my refresh wasn't working so I skipped your post. And I'll to go some slower. Sorry!

cralegoboy- I hope everything is okay and that you know that you are in everyones' thoughts and prayers.

"Right, right. Good enough answer. But! What is your identification to access this port legally? That will be your only warning. Now again! Stop. Who are you? What have you brought for identification? Where did you come from?" repeats the aggravated man. He addresses this to each member of the party. Be careful...

That's kind of funny though, because- is he really dead?

Sylph, the party leader, takes the ring and the dagger. "Land ho!" shouts a look out. "I'm afraid this is all the time we could spend together. Good luck! Don't let the captain's death be for nothing, I'm sure you will do well!" says the new captain. The heroes depart, though at the beach is a tough looking man, one who has been in the wild. "Stop. Who are you? What have you brought for identification? Where did you come from?" states the man. He addresses this to each member of the party. Be careful...

"I believe, that each province or ruler has his own special seal. As I work on a ship, I've never seen one before, this may be it, it grants access legally into a port or shows authority or something." says the first mate. "Yes, I believe, I should be captain." states the first mate/new captain confidently. "Look at charts? Go ahead." The charts show a map of the seas, wind forecasts, and personal letters. "I'd don't think he would like you reading those." says the new captain.

OOC: Ok, I'll change your power. Nope, no booze. The heroes crash the dresser. Contents such as papers, maps, charts, a ring box (inside is a ring embedded with a chariot hieroglyphic), and a rather fashionable dagger, though it appears it is more for shown than actual combat. (WP: 2) Heroes- you may discuss what you will do or what these contents could be used for. Everyone may put in their opinions/input. "We'll be reaching port in two hours." says the first mate.

The party walks into the cabin, it takes a few minutes to adjust to the dark. "My god," the first mate points to the floor. The captain, whom they never got to meet, is sprawled on the floor, a bolt in his side, and a hole and crack in the very small window facing him. Now that they have time to look, the chairs are knocked to the side and papers on the floor. The captains cold hand is clasped around a handle to a dresser, he seemed to try and open it while he was dying.

"Oh my gosh," says the first mate, "the captain!"

Nyx vs Bacari - Miss Amorith Marvelo vs. Swashbuckler - Shield Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs.Thug - Critical Hit Barur Tormek vs. Swashbuckler - Hit Sylph Solanum vs. Bacari - Critical Hit On the swaying decks, Nyx tries again, but her spell fails to hit Bacari. The mage Amorith uses his magical shield, causing 5 ice damage to all enemies in a sudden burst! Lord Boomingham does a 360 degree spin, and chops the corsair thug right in half! Barur Turmek hits the swashbuckler, finishing him off. The end is nearing, Bacari knows, he pulls off a rapid shot trying to hit something random. The bolt hits the back of the ship, but the heroes don't have time to ponder what happened. "Bacari you insolent dog! How could you do this! We quested together! We were allies! " Nyx screams as the battle rages. Bacari hesitates. Clank... the crossbow falls to the deck. Thwack! Sylph hits Bacari in the back. Bacari falls to his knees. Tears swell up in his eyes as he kneels, realizing why he chose this path, one of no return. Just one problem, his tears, and everything else, was a dark, red haze. His vision was contracting into a narrow tunnel. The dark tunnel kept reducing his ability to see. One last tear trickled down Bacari's face... then, he fell face down on the deck. The rough waves rock the boat during the eerie silence. The body of Bacari slides over the side of the ship. No one could see the body. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! How shall the spoils of war be divided? 95 gold Venom Bone Tonic "Nice, heroes!" exclaims to first mate, who watched the battle. Though the heroes don't have time to savor the victory. "Ahhh! Ahh! Ow..... help... me..." the pleading voice is coming from the captains cabin.

Ok, sorry for the confusion everyone!

I know, but tripleshot is power (in case of an enemy, it should be level, I assume) plus level. (6 + 6) So that is 12 damage, and it says per target. So 12 damage to each target. Is this clear to everyone?

At tripleshot it says- "(e.g. WP: 3 plus level 2 = 5 damage per target)"

Ok, then next time he gets tripleshot, he'll do 12 damage. I just did things based on Bacari's character.

I know. So are you saying that I do damage based on level? That would mean Bacari would do even more damage then 10.

No, tripleshot was a ranger skill- if you check the ranger stats, it is power (Bacari's was 4) plus level (6), so ten damage. As for the miss- sorry~ It was damage, but for some reason I added in miss. Though I guess it wouldn't matter this time, as Sylph healed everypne to full health anyways. I shall be on alert next time!

Adventurers in quest 8. You are all lucky Dannylonglegs rolled a shield, or half of you would surely be dead. The battle continues!

OOC: legobodgers, you won't make a fool of yourself, look at what the die rolled. The first mate says, "Boomingham! This is not easy!" Nyx vs. Bacari - Special Damage Boomingham vs. Thug - Miss/Damage Amorith vs. Crewman- Hit Barur vs. Crewman - Miss/Damage Sylph vs. Swashbuckler- Shield/Heal The heroes are about to face the most epic attack roll fail in Heroica History. Nyx's attack fails, and Bacari is able to use tripleshot, causing 5 damage to Nyx (backrow) 10 to Boomingham, and another 10 to Sylph. Boomingham, overcome with rage, tries in vain to cut the Thug, but the heaving deck of the ship throws him off balance, and the Thug gets him, causing even more damage. Amorith casts a magic spell on the Crewman, and kills him instantly. (-1 ether) Now Barur's attack switches to a new target- the strongest one, Bacari. The Barur is to slow and gets shot by Bacari's crossbow, the pain distracts him and cannot continue his attack on the pirate. Though it is not over! Sylph the Cleric decides to SHIELD his fellow heroes, and because of the effect, each adventurer is restored to full health. 3 enemies remain. Bacari Level 6 Humanoid Health: 10/10 Special: Triple Shot- Bacari shoots three times, at 1 or more targets Drops: 40 gold Corsair Swashbuckler Level 3 Aquatic Humanoid Health: 9/9 Special: Savage Slash- Attack does double damage Drops: 30 gold Corsair Thug Level 3 Aquatic Humanoid Health: 9/9 Special: Powerful Puncture- Attack does double damage Drops: 5 gold.

But it is balanced out with two level 1 people. We'll see what the dice says.
