QM Note:I did; I just forgot to note it.

QM Note: You can only use a Bedroll when a QM says that it's safe to do so. In this case, you're in a street in the middle of the day and you just fought Pongcanae here, so I'm going to say that you can't use the Bedroll here.

In the chest, Ellaria, you find an additional 30 Gold. Searching the surroundings, you don't see much of interest. You realize that these must have been a couple Pogs bringing in the spoils of a small raid.

Pongcanis Swordsman B — Free Hit against Lord Lawrence Boomingham (20-12=8 Damage) Lord Lawrence Boomingham Counterstrikes Pongcanis Swordsman B (26-5=21 Damage) Boomingham, annoyed at the Leader, you swing Scupperer at his neck, and the Darkness cuts easily through with a trail of flame. Arthur, you prepare to fire another spell, but you see the crossbowman refining his aim and duck out of his line of sight. Nerwen, you make the spearman Fragile; although Elerylian is Knocked Back, Saeavel capitalizes and kills the vulnerable Pog, and you Meditate to regain the Ether. Kadarphazân charges one of the swordsmen, who stumbles backwards at the sight of the powerful knight and roars for help. A Pongcanis Swordsman will join the battle in 5 Rounds. The battle continues.

QM Note: On a Mac you can type the circumflex over the last 'a' with Opt+I. On Windows you have to use some longer number combo after Alt. 'Kadarphazân' translates to 'City-Prince' from Adûnaic.

QM Note:Chromeknight did submit two actions, albeit the second in the Order and not in conventional format.

Arthur, the Pongcanis Crossbowman fires a quarrel right at your head, but you bring your shield up in time at the right angle to deflect it harmlessly away. Sir Kadarphazân, seeing your initial lack of success, calls a truce to give you time to regroup. The battle continues.

Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, cast a magic spell, use an item instead of attacking, or attempt something else outside the box. Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

QM Note: It has the same effect, but I don't want to call it the Afraid-effect since it's based on a physical change and not a psychological one — I am, however, fine with going back to using the Knockback-effect term, so, yes, Special Guard would protect you. I'll edit the Special to reflect this. Just to make sure we're all on the same page, Initiative takes place at the beginning of the battle, not in the first Round, so if you plan to use a consumable, you should submit both that action and your Round One action(s).

QM Note: Actually, Kadarphazân as a Paragon has Initiative, which will let each of you use a consumable for free at the beginning of each battle. Ah, I forgot to assign control. I've been assigning control and Party Leader if necessary at the beginnings of battles and taking it away at the ends since the party members can split up as much and as often as they like. Your setup makes sense; I'll fix that. ...and fixed, though I gave control of Elerylian to Flipz to even things out. You had more interaction with Saeavel so, between the two elven NPCs, you got control over her.

Welcome to EB. At the moment, this topic doesn't actually contain any pictures related to the MOCs or WIPs, just a list of your plans. I'm going to lock this for now, and if you have pictures to post, then at that time you can PM myself or another staff member to unlock the topic for you. Thanks!

QM Note:Fixed, and noted, thanks.

I also made a Don Quixote reference in Quest 77, and no one appears to have gotten that either.

I made an I Love Lucy reference, but no one appears to have gotten it.

"Got it."

Do I get a stat boost?

"Sure. Level, XP, WP, Power, HP, Defense, Ether, Gold, Equipment, Inventory, GP, Reputation. I think that about covers the important stuff."
