I heal Johon, back row. OOC: Sorry for not posting, I can't access anything on EB. Each time I click on a topic, it takes over 5 minutes to load, and 5 minutes to post a sentence. It's so laggy it won't even let me log out...

Good luck quest 55! If it seems hard, just know, there is a strategy to beat it.

Edit problems, wait for next post. QM Note: Stupid thing won't let me fix something so I have to do an entire new post. Thailon sneaks away across the river, and can tell for sure that there is an army coming, but is there more?

Then the first again, then the last, and then the special is over. QM Note: The chevaliers are mounted, and they will remain as humanoids/beasts until they reach Health: 25.

Congrats 55 questers! You are almost victorious!

QM Note: Extremely sorry, today is really busy! I'll have to update again the evening. (US East coast time)

"Nice work everyone! I'll continue my attack on the juggernaut unless told otherwise."

OOC: I should be encouraged because I drank my mead. "Well... guys....once I feel the effects of my mead in my head, maybe I could think of a plan..."

Thalion vs. Elite Croise B> Shield (11+5=16 damage to all enemies) Alexander vs. Dark Croise B> Damage (10+2=12-6/2=9 health remaining) Nessa vs. Dark Croise C> Shield (6+5=11 damage to 3 enemies) Janek vs. Dark Croise C> Hit (5+3=8 damage) Dreyrugr vs. Dark Croise C- Miss Amma nothing> Thailon regroups infront of Amma, and powers a magical blast, then blows a wave of energy at the incoming line of soldiers. Some manage to keep going, and strike Alexander again. Nessa then decides to load 3 arrows at once into her bow. She releases, and the arrows fly everywhere, cutting down enemies and piercing their armor. Janek continues the attack, and drives a Croise onto the ground almost dead. It's time to press forward!

Alexandre drinks the mead and applies the deadly venom.

"You have 3 venoms and a deadly venom in your inventory. If you could distribute those out, we will have a much better chance of living. We'll pay you back of course."

Consumables not from a bad peddler.... "Thank you, this will make a perfect combination... Let's roll."

In the rules I'm pretty sure Cursed says "the maximum" health is decreased by 3.

You forgot to take my nostrum out of my inventory.

Because your broom is magically connected with your ice gem and you have wizardly properties. Dreyrugr vs. Dark Croise B- Hit (5+10=15 damage) Alexander vs. Dark Croise C> Damage (11+2 =13-6/2=10 health remaining) Nessa vs. Dark Croise B> Critical Hit (6x2+5=17 damage) Janek vs. Dark Croise C> Special Damage (6/2= 3 damage) Amma vs. Dark Croise C> Special Damage (6/2=3 damage) Thalion vs. Elite Croise B> Damage (12+1=13-7/2= 9 health remaining) Dreyrugr raises his Scythe and pummels it down on the Croise Soldier. Alexander, running low on arrows, looks around for some he could use, but that gives time for the enemy to advance, and Alexander is caught facing an enemy without any arrows. The Croise swings his weapon. Fortunately, Alexander's armor absorbs it. Nessa loads her bow, and shoots. The projectile soars and hit an enemy in the thigh, slowing hm down. Janek, Amma, and Thailon all group together, but they are surrounded and the Croise's hack at them with axes and maces.

I drank my nostrum as well, so I should be lucky.

Wasn't there a discussion awhile back that was something like this: Enemy..blah blah blah, health: 10/10 Hero Rogue Level 2 with WP:3 dagger rolls a shield. (3x3+2 =11 damage.) The rogue gets 11 gold correct? Because that was equal to his strike. But I vaguely remeber someone saying it's equal to the damage done (which in this case, was at most 10) Does any one recall that?

"I see...." "Fellows, I think it's time to fight."

Alexander vs. Dark Croise D> Hit 2(7+5)=24 damage Thalion vs. Elite Croise B> Miss Janek vs. Dark Croise D B>Critical Hit (2x3+5=11 damage) Nessa vs. Dark Croise B> Special Damage (6/2=3 damage) Amma vs. Dark Croise C> Hit (3+4=7 damage) Dreyrugr vs. Elite Croise A-Shield (5x3 +10= 25 damage, and 10 gold stolen!) Alexander keeps firing away, and his shot kills an enemy soldier. Thailon misses his spell. Janek raises his hands and utters a magical phrase that casts a wind spell across the battle field. But the wind magic only slows down the Croise, for he continues and slams his axe into Nessa. Amma looks around, and then casts an ice spell at the target. The Croise panics as his feet are frozen in ice! Dreyrugr steals a sack of gold off the elite enemy soldier, then sticks his scythe into his back. EDIT: Next post has stats.
