Oooh this looks to be fun! That first prize looks really good.

Not to worry, we'll sell them so much delicious booze to drink, they'll pass out before they can even think of starting a brawl!

Thanks! Hey, being the best faction can take its toll, so we need some ability to wind down after a long day. Grand scale for a micro build! Thanks! And sure, we'll host the party.

Emile, We got a plot of land in Fatu Hiva that we could build on. It may not be profitable yet, but it will be as the village grows. It's a three story building with an extended addition to store the alcohl from our factories, so wjhen people ask for more hopefully we have more in stock. Three stories can you believe that? Maybe when can rent out different areas? There's so much commerce going on here. All my love, Elise Elise, Dear, this is fantastic news. Our business will expand soon to other colonies. Commerce from Oleon will grow so much we won't be able to manage it. Coudl you imagine? I'm doing my best here out in some of the furthest regions. You won't believe it. I'll be back soon, with gifts, mind you. But the only gift I can't bring back is you, as you're there already. Soon to see you, Emile

I thought I made that boss battle difficult... Apparently not.

Round 2 of Mural, Mural on the Wall Vindsval vs Pong Merc 1: Shiled Bash (Rolled a 4 and 5, went with 4; 20+9x2=58-10=48, 77-48=29HP)> Ezeran vs Pong Merc 1: Critical Hit (Rolled a 4 and 2; Pong Merc1 KOd; -1 ether)> Ezeran vs Pong Merc 3: Razzmatazz (Rolled a 1 and 2; 35x2=70 dmg to all enemies; Den at full HP; Mural at 106HP; L1 at 156HP; L2 KOd; Guy at 199HP; Pal at 139HP; Pong Merc 3 at 36HP; Excited at 90HP; All enemies slowed; -8 ether; gains 110 gold)>Matthias vs Bodyguard 1: Critical Hit (Rolled a 2 and 5; 12 (WP) × 2 (Critical Hit) + 30 (level) + 15 (bonus) = 69, × 2 (*Encouraged*) = 138-7=131dmg; 106-131=Mural KOd; L1 at 20HP and Fragile; Guy at 61HP)>Galedo vs Mural (I'll have him do nothing; you guys can withstand like everything)>Petaldan vs Bodyguard 2 vs Guy: Hit (36dmg, 61-36=25HP)> Addok-Zo vs Guy: Critical Hit (Guy KOd)> Jeremiah vs Pal: Razzmatazz (37 dmg to all enemies before SP; Den at 828HP; L1 KOd; Pal at 104HP; P3 at 9HP; Excited at 53HP; -5 ether)Vindsval vs Pong Merc 3: Hit (Rolled 3 and 5; P3 KOd)>Luke Heals Ezeran: Heal Less (Rolled 4 and 6; Ezeran healed by 15HP)>Matthias vs Excited: Hit (Rolled 3 and 6; 12+30+15=57x2=114dmg; Excited KOd; Pal KOd; Den at 718HP; +20 gold) Free Hits Calder: Free Hit vs. Vindsval (0 damage) And people though the last round was going to be one for the ages. Oh no, this one blows the previous out of the water. Vindsval and Ezeran eviscerate their targets. Ezeran's spell begins to sap the strength of everyone aside from Calder, and he even gains gold (surpised it could be found, actuually). Matthias loads up his cannon and fires off a shot, splintering the mural into tiny fragments, most of which end up embedding themselves in Guy and the first bodyguard. Galedo stands back, unsure of what to do now since his target has been blown across the sea to Baltarok, probably further. Petaldan sees his original target is gone and lays down a strong hit on Guy. Addok finishes off the smart mouthed guard with a shot some might consider to be overkill. Jeremiah, seeing the mural was gone gains the courage to unleash an attack almost as powerful as Ezeran's. He even strikes his own grandfather! More enemies fall by the wayside, until there is only Calder Den left...

"My second quest, actually," Kiray confirms as she nods her head. "Euflear was the name. A veteran. The last living founding veteran of Heroica. Really remarkable when you think about it. Euflear asked us to set a meeting with the Dragonlord if possible. Euflear's granddaughter Hope was there as well. We were trying to stop some dragoons, the Fey One helped a bit. A lot, possibly. Aside from Germ, most of the people on that quest are gone."

"Ah yeah, the Fey one. That was awhile back. A long while." Kiray sips on her drink, contemplating that time. "What exactly do you need to know? I'm no expert, but I'll do the best I can."

I'd love to see everyone come back that had loose ends and reveal what they were planning in their stories. Or in CJP's case, if Alexandre and Leufwein would ever have a Parent Trap-esque swap of lives.

"Well that was something alright," Kiray says after they leave.

Kiray decided to jump in at this comment with, "Loyalty to Heroica's values. I'm not sure if they're stated anywhere. Maybe there's a sign on the door, or in a codex we can read. But from what I've seen, no matter the background of a Hero, and with all of our own differences, we value a few things collectively. Getting the job done. Helping those who ask, whether they deserve our help or not. Sure, we're mercenaries with a heart at the core, but there's not many people who would do what we do. Finally, the most important value, loyalty to each other. There's occaisionally infighting, but we come together and work well. I think."

So lots of drugs?

Kiray watches the figures with a close, but she kept herself back, not wanting to intrude. They didn't seem unsavory--from what she could tell so far--but she still kept cautious. She wasn't expecting trouble, but who knew these days.

I'll be the first to argue the characters aren't bland, aside from Max and maybe Hornigold and Anne Bonny.

Sorry, just saw this. How'd I lose The Elise? Was she sunk?

Round 1 of Mural, Mural on the Wall > Vindsval: Wrath Lance vs. Buddy: Shield [Rolled a 6 and 1, went with 1; 16 (WP) × 2 (Arm) × 4 (Supernal Smite) + 40 (level) + 9 (bonus) = 177, × 2 (darkness) × 2 (*Encouraged*) ÷ 2 (back row) = 354 damage; Buddy KO] > Ezeran: Darkness Spell (Ooze Wand) vs. Pong Merc 3: Critical Hit [Rolled 2 twice; 10 (WP) × 2 (Critical Hit) + 22 (level) + 5 (bonus) = 47, × 2 (darkness) = 94 damage; 200 - 94 = 106 health remaining; Needs to roll 1 or 2 to cause Slowed, rolled 3, need a second roll (*Lucky*)] > Matthias: Extraordinaire vs. Bodyguard 1: Critical Hit [Rolled 2 and 4; 12 (WP) × 2 (Critical Hit) + 30 (level) + 15 (bonus) = 69, × 2 (*Encouraged*) = 138 damage] ----- Mural: 300 - 138 = 162 health remaining ----- Bodyguard 1: 500 - (138 × 2 (darkness)) = 224 health remaining ----- Bodyguard 2: 300 - (138 × 2 (darkness)) = 24 health remaining > Addok-Zo: Crossbow vs. Guy: Shield ----- Guy: 290 - 21 = 269 health remaining ----- Pal: 250 - 21 = 229 health remaining ----- Pong Merc 1: 250 - 21 = 229 health remaining > Jeremiah: Darkness Spell (Ancestral Staff) vs. Pal: Mirror Damage (25x2=50/2=25-3=22dmg, 30-22=8HP; Pal at 207HP) > Vindsval: Wrath Lance vs. Pong Merc 1: Hit (Rolled a 3 and 4; 16 (WP) × 2 (Arm) + 40 (level) + 9 (bonus) = 81, × 2 (darkness) × 2 (*Encouraged*) ÷ 2 (back row) = 162, - 10 (SP) = 152; 229 health - 152 damage = 77 health remaining) > Matthias: Heal (Stave of Grasping Thorns) vs. Jeremiah: Nurture (Rolled 3 and 6; 60+, Jeremiah at full) Free Hits Calder: Free Hit vs. Vindsval (0 damage) Pong Merc 2: Possible Free Hit vs. Ezeran (1.5*22.66 = 34, 34/2 = 17, 17 - 6 = 11 damage) Mural boosts Calder by 10HP, now at 860HP Perhaps it was knowing they were near the end, the Heroes double their efforts and put forth some of the strongest fighting this side of the world had seen. Vindsval annihilates his targets, tearing such large holes through their abdomens their guts fall straight out. Ezeran Injures a Pongcanis, but it's friend takes a swipe at Ezeran for pay back. Matthias manages to injure his target along with the Mural and another guard. Galedo tries to punch the Mural but does nothing, sort of like he's done the past few battles. Petaldan, the tiny knight, steps forward and protects his allies from damage next round, and Addok copies Matthias, only with his crossbow and some slightly different targets. It appears the Heroes found a way to work together. Jeremiah though might still be shaken and is hurt, yet Matthias patches him up. Luke, energized by the thought of his homeland, critically wounds one of the loudmouthed guards. The Enemies Calder Den *Immune to Stunned, Sudden Death, Darkness* *Attacks deal Lightning* *Deals double damage to Jeremiah and Galedo* Type: Humanoid Level: 3x Target Health: 860/860 Defense: 5 SPECIAL I (Rolls even): Color me shocked- Calder deals 10 dmg to the party, ignoring SP and row.
