KotZ

I'm fine with throwing another bomb and waiting it out, trying to whittle them down, or fleeing if necessary.

Kiray throws a fire bomb from the back.

I hope we do. I think it would be a great way to flesh out more story.

Kiray accepts the loot. "Yeah, this was about as far as we've gone. Any challenge works for me. Immortal seems like it could be fun."

Kiray joins in on attacking the mob with her crossbow, back.

Kiray repeats.

Kiray repeats again, blind as she is.

Kiray averts her eyes for a moment and then repeats.

Kiray repeats again.

Ok, Quest #152, this is going to be a short thought. I hope you guys had fun with it. I did (although some headaches, but hey that always was happens), and it was nice to do a quest away from Tridentia that I could be a little more loose and silly with. I really wanted absurd tasks so I hoped that panned out. I'm glad you guys ran with it and made choices (Hoke with the final task, for example). At first I was concerned about putting two barbarians in the party but it worked out well. Balancing the battles was a little difficult at points but I think you guys managed pretty well. I want to thank Flipz for the suggestion of a seating puzzle. Also, Heckz was hilarious.

Kiray nocks another bolt and repeats.

Fight club, EB style? Everyone meets up at a Legoland and we race in the driver's ed area in a MArio Kart-esque tournament? Complete with throwing bricks at each other?

Kiray repeats again.

Kiray targets Mudfrob B from the back.

Looks great! I like how open the streets now feel and big for adult hands to reach!

"Nice work, Ezeran," she says just before she sees him take a hit. "Well, suppose not now." She repeats.

Kiray levels her crossbow at Ally B and fires from the back.

"I'm fine with that," Kiray says as she puts her crossbow away.

"This is over just about now." Kiray repeats.

Kiray attacks the barghests with her crossbow. "LEt's not get confused again, everyone."

"So... close..." Kiray repeats, she hopes this will be more successful.

"Yeah, yeah you're right." At that moment, Lysa comes over. "So, how did it go?" Simon sits up straighter. "Well, I can drink. We fought some goons in a ring, and apparently I'm a disciple of Azazot. But, you know, I don't think Rebecca is a good person." "Oh?" "Yeah." Then, taking Torald's advice, "Would you want me to walk you home?" "Really?" her eyes light up. "Of course! LEt me finish up." With that, she scurries off to finish her work. "Thanks everyone." Simon smiles and pulls out some bottles of mead. "Here you are, two for each of you. I'd say you guys helped me. Looks like you guys are Matchmakers." THE QUEST IS SUCCESSFUL!

Kiray repeats. "Almost there."

"Excuse me?" "How dare you!" Simon nods, takes a swig from his bottle, winds his arm back, and a dark smoke goes around his fists. He brings it forward, smacking the man square in the jaw. He falls to the ground in a slump. Simon just stares at the unconsious man. Then, he looks up at Rebecca. "Well, that was cool." "Simon!" "We should probably go back to the tavern. Come on." With that, Simon leads the Heroes out of Rebecca's house and back to where they started. He was quiet the entire trip, but once they stat down at a table, he said, "You know, that actually felt pretty good. WOn't get me anywhere with Rebecca now. But it was cool. What do you guys think?"

"Well. this is, uh, wow." Simon shuffles back and forth. He turns to the Heroes, "This didn't go as I expected." The other man seems to notice. "Hey, just who do you think you are? You can't do that to my girl." "OH, here we go..."
