Flare

That would be awful.

Sorry for triple post (where is everyone!?!?) but... Welcome to KingoftheZempk to heroica!!

I know... It's just weird that they haven't posted yet... If they don't post within an hour, then if the Party Leader would please provide their actions - the battle is really almost over...

What's happening here?

Meet Benji, warden!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments

Heres a really good third option: Make Wren the commander, then she'll forget her mad ambitions because she's got a business now and then you'd have solved two problems

Yrah, go 42!

Benji attacks the Hippogriff from the back row. Same battle order.

"Wait, if I'm the first one to attack an aepyornis, then why should I include that statement?

That's a unique idea!

OOC: To the one hero, it seems pretty clear to me. "I think we should get eid of those ae- ae- ostriches before anything rlse."

What about a honing and grating stone in one package

Not fair, I would do a lot to embue a weapon with the crumbling venom, but I have no chance to, and you're weighing the cost... Sheesh... Is it possible to send weapons via z-mail? Also, Drake as party leader? Oy va voy

*cough*Sandy*cough*CallMePie*cough*unlimitedquest*cough*soundslikeagooddrop*cough*forbossbattle*cough cough cough*

"Looks like a tough fight, but heck there's great loot! So, you have a plan, Docken?" Ooc: Also i have 2 health cores now

Battle order: Docken - throw smoke bomb

Honing stones would be so awesome

Benji leads the party location 13 (don't have time to look up name ATM)

We could travel either 13-14-15 or 18-17-15. Your choice, I don't care.

Waiting on the yeti...

I should have two health cores now Also, the loot here stinks. Anyone want to chuck a smoke bomb and we'll take a different battle? I'm sure there's a different way we could take to get to the dragon. (I'd look myself but I'm on my phone.) I'm not too eager to waste a nostrum on a nigh-lootless battle. As party leader, I'm in favor of fleeing this battle and looking for a more profitable one.

(I edited the loot distribution since the health core actually isn't in Althior's possession yet) Lets go!
