"No, I don't want any trouble; I'm not a very skilled fighter, just a courier." You realize that you'll have to persuade the hobgoblin to see your point of view if you want him to join you.

- On a Title Roll [ I gave out a couple titles. From Pandora. ] First post updated.

I was replying to Flare. Assumed it was clear enough without the quote.

I...played...like a man on a phone? I suppose that would be accurate for some of the latter portion of my playing time when I was on vacation.

Welcome, and congratulations, Jim!

And now we know why a carrot needs scuba gear. It was from me.

QM Note:Whoops. Fixed!

QM Note: Oh, on that note, Wedge, here's a Party Leader tip: This is why the healers usually go last.

Thanks for letting me play, Sandy!

Round One of the Skirmish near the Warehouses: Sir Abârlômi vs. Unarmed Pongcanis Warrior — Extra Critical Furious Hit ((8*3)+20=44 Damage dealt; must target Unarmed Pongcanis Warrior) Ellaria Arbour vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Roots of Life Hit (22+10=32 Health restored; all allies revived; all negative effects removed; -1 Ether) >Alexander Vandagant vs. Pongcanis Spearman — Critical Hit ((((7*2)+15)*2)-10=48 Darkness-elemental Damage dealt) Ahvialyn vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Damage (15-3=12 Damage taken) Sir Abârlômi eagerly leads the charge in front of you, his sword slicing through cloth, leather, fur, and skin as he becomes furious and focuses on the sword-wielding Pog. Ellaria, your skills cause powerful roots to come up through the stones in the road — unfortunately, the party is already in perfect health, so your Ether is needlessly spent. Alexander, you draw your bow and fire a arrow imbued with dark magic that strikes the spearman in the chest, leaving him only barely alive. As the surprise of the assault wears off, the swordsman recovers in time to send Ahvialyn flying backwards with one sweeping blow of his sword. The battle continues.

"Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Thank you."

I was sure I'd taken a picture of all the varieties of Pogs at the beginning, but then I looked in my folders and there weren't any, and it was too dark to take some. So I went with this for now to keep an already slow quest moving and figured I'd update them when the battle started.

Ooh, that's a good idea. I'll have to remember that for a future Pog battle.

That was the original plan, and I even made a finalized map for it, but that was in the brainstorming stage a good while ago, before Sandy did the map of Olegaia. Plus I'm considering moving it in case I want it to fit into a potential storyline for an insane five-part Zeph-Pandy-Scuba-JimB-Doc quest.

"Ah, yes, thank you, Master Hybros."Recalling the feeling of holding shimmering blue Mythril Ore for the first time in Salmanda, I hold the shining silvery Adamantite Shard up for a moment before slipping it into a pouch.

It's okay; I'll use a different host. I'll get Sandy's side up first, though; that party's been waiting longer.

Is anyone else getting a message from flickr about their servers being too busy to allow uploads at the moment?

I'm fine with that, as long as drinking together will give me a stat boost.
