Flare

Same battle order & attack as before.

"The stories about shiny things might be interesting... but it depends on what type of shiny thing. "

Eugene clears away an area and starts making a small and pitiful fire. Only Almighty Bob knows where he got wood from, because there are no trees in the area. Also, to the casual observer that it is fairly obvious that genies have very bad fire-making skills. When he is finally finished, the night is quite dark, and everyone gathers around the tiny and rather dim fire. "Please enjoy this little campground I just made for you! I'll count that as one of your wishes, Pretzel... even though you didn't get any in the first place. Which means your in the minus. Which means you owe me a wish. Now let me think... I have been craving a pretzel recently, happen to have one?" He turns to the druid: "Of course everything will be explained when we get there tomorrow, unless you'd like me to try to explain myself, right now." Then he turns back to Pretzel: "My dear Monk, I'm afraid that it will be impractical for us to continue the journey to his place by foot. I need to get you there as soon as possible because I am needed elsewhere. Trust me, you'll have plenty of adventuring on foot in the upcoming week." Now sitting down, that is, if it was possible for genies to sit, he relaxes and exclaims: "Well well well... anyone have a good story?"

Same battle order. First attack: Fantome Croise from the back row. Second: Croise B from the back row. "Good job guys!!"

"Don't worry about being polite! He's probably going to be working on that staff through the night anyways. He's quite eager to have it finished. He's already been working on it for 3 and a half years, and he's almost finished."

Eugene glares at Monk Pretzel, somehow understanding what Pretzel more or less didn't say. He looks at the rest of the party and grins. Apparently genies have a tendency to be jolly. "No wishes, at least right now. Maybe later on, when you finish your task. You wouldn't believe it, but granting wishes is an extremely difficult and tiring task!" "But anyways, Dr. Trice lives in a place fairly far away, but thankfully the reason I was sent here to help you was because I am able to travel faster than your average bear. What I'm trying to say, lets all hold hands and then we can get a move on. I think you'll have to leave your cart behind, sorry. Dr. Trice will provide some pretzels if you ask nicely" The members of the party reluctantly hold hands, and of course its Pretzel's luck to be holding hands with Eugene. "Letsa go!" They lift off, and start flying through the air about six inches above the ground. They are moving quite fast in a West/North-West direction. The heroes notice that it is starting to get dark out, and also that they are slowing down. They stop. *phew* "Wow, I'm pooped. Do you know how much energy it takes to travel this far carrying three extra people? Insanely tiring! We're a little more than halfway there." He takes a moment to catch his breath. "We have two choices. We can spend the night here, and then continue traveling tomorrow, or, you could spare some of your ether to help re-energize me and we can finish traveling during the night. Which would you prefer?"

Battle Order: Benji Benji Sorrow Lycan I attack Fantome Croise, and then drink a grand potion.

Why are you giving me advice!? You're the quest master, your not supposed to give me advice I feel anxious about my health, I know its not low... but if I happen to get hit by two people then I'll be knocked out. But perhaps I should not worry about it. "Sorrow, do you want to revive Lycan? Its not like he's a big help, to be honest... but maybe it would help. I don't know." Well OK then. Same battle order. I attack Fantom Croise and then Croise B from the back row.

The three heroes leave Heroica Hall, and wonder where Dr. Trice's assistant, Eugene, is. They wander around for a couple minutes and then hear a voice calling them, in a quiet corner somewhat close to where they started from in the first place... They walk over and wonder how he got there in the first place. "Well hello there. I was wondering how long it would take for you to notice that I was just here waiting for you. Oh well. Anyways, I'm ready to go, and we probably should get leaving soon, Dr. Trice can get quite impatient sometimes! So yes... before we set off, anything you want to do or ask? Or are you all just ready to get going to Dr. Trice's place? Dr. Trice can explain things much better than I can." The Party!

"Hmm... perhaps I should drink a potion. What do you think, Sorrow?"

"Ouchee." Same battle order. First attack, Fantom croise from back row, second attack, Croise A from back row.

"Be quiet, your supposed to be partially dead. Anyways, your werewolf form was definitely against it. Now be quiet and go back to your knocked-out-ed-ness self."

Congrats on your 2222th post LOL OK this is getting confusing, isn't it? Well we might as well have Sorrow attacking Croise B from the front row, since I'm getting off soon.

"Ouch. Dang Sorrow, you're getting rich! Now I wish that I was a rogue " Same battle order. First attack, Benji attacks Fantom Croise from the back row, and with the second attack he attacks Croise A. OOC: Why didn't the potion heal Sorrow?

Same battle order & attack. (if Sorrow does not post soon, then I'd like to take control of his character and he would use a potion)

Same battle order & attack!

"Well that's good to hear."

"Yeah, but the weapon bump sounded pretty tempting... I doubt the princess will give us that." Benji shakes his head. What was happening to him? "Is there any chance that Syntax has infected my body?" OK, same battle and order! I'd like to say that if the next round turns out positive like the last two, then please continue doing battles until one of us gets something negative. Thanks!

"And by myself, I won't be far behind... good questing with ya, mate. Even if we don't win, the gold we've earned would almost make it worth it. Not quite though" I turn to the Croise: "You perhaps wouldn't consider us changing our minds would you? Maybe your cause really is the right one." "Its not like I haven't helped an evil force before..." A strange voice goes through Benji's mind. He hopes he isn't gaining an alter-ego like Sorrow/Syntax. Same attack & order.

OOC: Nice, an impossible battle. I should've known. Battle Order: Benji Benji Sorrow First attack, Benji fires an arrow from the back row at Fantom Croise, and during the second attack Benji fires at Croise B.

Fantastic work! Amazing build, Pandora & Rufus! Its just so totally awesome I can't get over it

OOC: Please note that we took the following: Benji - smelling salts (already noted), venom (!) Lycan - potion (already noted), venom (!), mead (!) Sorrow - venom (!), mead (!), nostrum (already noted) Battle Order: Benji Benji Sorrow Lycan Benji attacks Fantom Croise from the back row with the crossbow, and then the same for his second turn.

OOC: I think that my health should be 36/36...
