"Just because the Hall has a lot of coin doesn't mean I do myself. I'd help her too but I have business to attend to first. There's a creature out there that needs stopping right now, and the longer it's out there, the harder it will be for the common folk to make a living."

"I'm sorry, but she was asking for all the gold I had on me, and we need that gold to hire crew members for our expedition. We need able-bodied people to fight this sea beast, and unfortunately this elf was not able to help. When we are finished I would like to help you, but I can't do much until we stop this beast." Kiray then walked up to the Wolfgang members. "Reg... do you happen to know a Diana?"

Wow I just finished my first quest as a QM. Thank you guys in the party for playing. I'll have my thoughts and breakdown for you guys up later today.

Lacy takes the note from Benji an opens it. She starts to read it, but her eyes begin to water and her hand stifles back a sob. "Thank you for finding this," Lacy says. Tears begin to stream down her face. "Like I said, if you found something in the orchard, half off everything here. Now if you excuse me, I need to go." Lacy runs off, her cries echoing around the town. "I'm assuming you found Gregory, our head farmer. He picked and grew most of the berries that we use here." William looks off at where Lacy went. "Those two cared greatly for each other. Thank you for finding something for her to remember him by. Now, I'll take over the shop if you need anything, although since you all will be heading back soon you won't need anything." Supplies for sale Potion (Restores 10 health to the target.) Costs 6 gold. Remedy (Removes all negative effects from the target.) Costs 10 gold. Holy Bomb (Causes 5 points of Light-elemental damage to all enemies.) Costs 10 gold.

You guys can buy the stuff from Lacy Lane's store but it is still higher than anything in Eubric so I don't advise (mainly this is directed to Asphalt) buying stuff here, just had to finish that side quest. If you do buy anything. Please post here that you bought it and I'll update inventories appropriately.

Yes, sorry for not clarifying.

"Of course, Francis," Kiray called out to him. "We'll let you do that." She flashed him a quick devious smile. Kiray walked over to Mizuki and looked at the front page. She wasn't too surprised to see Count Shadeaux on there this soon. Where is Tridentia, she thought, I've never even heard of there.

Vindsa, eager to end the battle attacks to early and is instead injured and is almost knocked out. Miderun takes advantage of the distracted sorcerer and hits him over the side of the head. Stunned, the sorcerer falls to his knees. Bobby comes in with a lightning fa strike to Calder Den’s throat. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Party leader, please divide the loot: Soiled Smallclothes (WP: 3; has a 1/2 chance of causing target to be Afrai; ranged; retrievable throwing weapon; suitable for rangers, rogues, beast warriors, infiltrators, scholars and winged warriors.) 138 gold Fire gem Robe of the Archmagi (SP:3, Max.

Smoke Bomb x3 Ornamental Throwing Knife (WP: 6, has a 1/3 chance of causing target to be Confused; ranged; retrievable throwing weapon; suitable for rangers, rogues, beast warriors, infiltrators, scholars and winged warriors.) As Calder Den, II dies, his body and magic staff disintegrate. His gem begins to glow a bright, hot color. Everyone in the vicinity has to shield their eyes as the gem glows brighter and brighter. It seems to be glowing as if the sun was brought down to land. BOOM. The sound echoes through Tridentia and throughout the whole island. Seconds pass as everyone keeps their eyes closed, realizing they are still breathing. When they open their eyes, all around the color has been restored. The loss of color in the town has been fixed. Luke climbs up the side of a building and carefully makes his way onto the roof. "I can see green!" Luke shouts with excitement. "The trees no longer look ugly! They're bright!"

Round 5 >Benji (Meduaik) vs Shade of Gray II (back): Extra Critical Hit (60+45=105; 105-39-66 gold) >Vindsval (hammer) vs Shade of Gray I (front): Damage (4-3=1; 7-1=6HP) >Miderun (Club) vs Bessie (front): Shield – Frenzy (11 hit to all; Calder at 22HP, Bessie killed, Shade of Gray I killed) >Bobby (Dagger) vs Calder Den, II (front): Special – Adjust the Levels (6 was rolled, Special I was odd numbers, Special II was even; Townsperson joins the battle) Once more the party goes in. Benji eliminates the Shade of Gray that had been giving him trouble and picks up a modes amount of gold. Vindsval on the other hand is injured by his opponent. Miderun again shields the party and kills not only Bessie, but Vindsval's Shade of Gray.

"I'm just venting. These people are broken and most aren't going to be any help to us. We could impress them if we had to and use them for fodder, but I'd rather not do that. There just have to be people willing to help."

"Have you made anyway headway, Mizuki? I've got nothing here," Kiray replied before giving her two gold coins.

First: Lewa Nuva and the Lehvak-Kal for Christmas. Last: Skrall if I'm not mistaken. I'm also a fan of the air-based figures and have around half of them or just a little under.

I watched Eat a Bowl of Tea last night. Not the worst but not the best. Romance films really aren't my thing.

You could have made microscale or mid scale buildings for the background and start taller closer to the foreground and smaller towards the background.

Round 4 >Benji (Meduaik) vs Shade of Gray II (back): Damage (12-7=5; nothing happens) >Vindsval (hammer) vs Shade of Gray I (front): Hit (20-7=13HP) >Miderun (Club) vs Bessie (front): Shield – Frenzy (11 hit to all; Calder at 48HP, Bessie at 9HP, Shade of Gray I at 2 HP, Shade of Gray II at 39HP) >Bobby (Dagger) vs Calder Den, II (front): Shield – Mug (15 damage, 48-15=33HP) The bickering between the elf and the orc cause some interesting problems. Benji is hit by the Shade of Gray but shrugs off the attack as if it was a fly. Vindsval hits his own target. Miderun finally draws up on some hidden strength and injures every single opponent, a massive feat after not hitting the cow. Bobby also makes another strong hit on Calder Den.

"I'm really not liking the idea of it being just us five, Lane." Kiray whispered. "I'm also considering putting all of these folks out of their misery."

"We have no coin to spare for those who won't help us. You may not even need to fight, we just need people out on the ship able to help with something, be it steering or what have you. Do you know others who may be able to help if you are not able to?"
