QM Note: I forgot to add in the effects of Alexander's blessedness, and Boomingham being poisoned, so I updated the post. Also, we are waiting on Alexander... (ugh, we always are waiting on someone aren't we!?)

Sandy, don't do it!

*looks at calendar* *sees that it is the first of April* Do we all get free hamburgers? And giant drinks?

You're just biased

I think it does, now that you mention it...

Benji repeats his action. Same battle ordercas round one.

"Bah! I don't fear you. Now shut your piehole foolish mouth and prepare for an eternal death to come upon you..."

"Your pathetic organization will have no interest in an undead like me. I don't know what your past is like, but I doubt its anything like mine. I would still be serving the wolfgang until they kicked me out... in fact that is what happened to most of us here..." The two werewolves nodded seriously as they listen to the undead speak. Sancho grimaces. "This battle must continue. No more idle chatter, lest we make a fatal mistake. You heroes have no chance to defeat us."

"Oh, we are important aren't we. Do you really think I'd be hanging around Triad Park if I had other opportunities? Unfortunately, unlife is not so kind to some of us."

QM Note: Sorry about the petrifying stuff. Anyways, since you're petrified, you don't need to give an action.

Random.org's dice were against you Also, I forgot to add something to Haman's drops, so I added it in now Round One of the Pond Scum Boss Battle! >Boomingham vs. Haman - Damage (42/2-12=9 damage, poisoned-effect to Boomingham) >Riley vs. Greedy Gremlin - Critical Hit ((9*2+18)*2=72 damage) Riley vs. Pongcanis Scum - Hit (27*2=54 damage) >Nagure vs. Deathbringer - SHIELD: Frenzy (29 damage to all opponents, but only 29/2=15 damage to Haman) >Sorrow vs. Pongcanis Scum - Special Damage / Special Damage (17/2=9 damage, bound-effect to Sorrow) >Sorrow vs. Pongcanis Scum - Damage / Damage (17/2-1=8 damage) >Sancho vs. Pongcanis Scum - Aim (14 damage) >Thalion (Ice) vs. Wulfeo - Special Damage / Special Damage (Petrified-effect to Thalion) >Alexander vs. Greedy Gremlin - Damage (8/2-3=1 damage) Free Hit: Wulfiet vs. Boomingham (26/2=13-12=1 damage) Boomingham counterstrikes Wulfiet (21/2=11 damage) Alexander - blessed +3 health (in reality +1 to health) Boomingham - poisoned -1 health Bringer of Death - 3 is rolled (nothing happens) The battle starts and ends badly for the heroes. Boomingham is damaged and poisoned, most of the party receives damage, Thalion is petrified, and the assassin Sorrow is also heavily damaged by the strong pongcanis brute, and is bound by fear for the next round. As Sorrow is beaten down, the undead whip bearing fiend speaks up. "You and I are pretty similar, my undead friend. We should be fighting together, not against each other. We have both already experienced death, and should be working together to share that experience and not against each other..." As his pongcanis ally knocks Sorrow off his feet, the vial of Golden Scorpion Venom falls out of Sorrow's gear. "Thats some pretty powerful venom you have there, mind if I borrow some? Pour a little on my whip and it would make my whip very powerful... heahahahahahehehae...." The Deathbringer grins evilly at Sorrow but doesn't attempt to do anything else, as the battle between the other heroes and enemies gets between them.

XD Quest 57 - that was an awful first round... I guess its because of Endgame

QM Note: If Boomingham doesn't have an action specifued within 5 hours, Costy please fill in for him. Thanks.

Someone call my name? Hey, don't push it

Benji attempts to repeat his action. Battle Order: Docken Emorith Nihai Carvenhall Unthor

Are you reading Capt's and my PM thread or something!?

Thats given me a great idea for an enemy

Just!? is it just me or do you overdo your battles, slightly...

If you want to funnel some revenge through me via quest 57 then send me a PM

Yeah, well then, we should've got to counterstrike if counterstriking isn't a turn Either we get to counterstrike because it doesn't count as a turn, or we don't get to counterstrike because it counts as our next turn. I think it counts as a turn.

I think that Bart and Benji should be un-stunned, since we should've counterstriked (counterstruck? counterstriken?)...

I loved setting up this boss battle. I think this might be my first battle to use passive specials

Also he should've been at full health since Riley used a potion on him. And also I added the 8 gold that Sorrow found in the bag. This battle is a bit harder than the other ones, but I'm confident that you fellows can win. You've got a good set of heroes and allies... for some reason I feel that this will end up being easier than I planned Good luck guys! Everyone choose an action. Party leader, please list the battle order. Any untargeted enemies at the end of the round will get a free hit.

"So he's yourssss is he!?" Haman sneers angrily. "Yes, I do think I will pry him away." He whistles a short but sharp whistle. Suddenly, some wicked figures jump out of the trees. The party is surrounded by scummy fellows. "Yesss.... I don't think you'll be leaving here so quickly... eheheh..." QM Note: Any roleplaying opportunities right now. Battle will be soon... (no need to use your cloak on them Thalion, because my next post will be the start of the battle no matter what)

Croak croak! <"Yes its me!! But watch out..."> At that moment a nasty one armed figure appeared silently above the pond. "Stealing... MY frogs!?"
