Well my first quest is live. Wish me luck and keep me honest.

​There is little to distinguish the Inn of the Wayward Knife from any of its brethren with the city. The heroes walk through the front door, across the common room and out of the back to the Walled Outdoor Pavilion. Their boots clack loudly on the bare cobbles beneath their feet. The night is deep, with only the barest hint of a moon to light one anthers faces as they await the arrival of the Caliph's agent. It would seem their eagerness for battle has brought them early, as the bell has not yet begun to chime the changing of the watch.

Actions written in Italics Character Speech written in a single color Decisions bolded so I see them easily. I know I have some experienced players in the group, if I screw something up please let me know so I don't form any bad habits. Good Luck and Let's have some fun.

There is a swoosh and a pop of displaced air. When the heroes turn in the direction of the noise they see that a new notice has replaced the Caliph's call for aid. It reads. I thank you all for your interest in my cause. It is true what they say about Heroica. There is never a shortage of those willing to come to the aid of one who is willing to ask. I have selected the Heros, Kelim the Cruel, Calamity, Rethinal, Terry Yelnats , and Muradin Falstad to represent you in this matter. My agent is awaiting your arrival at the stone pavilion behind the Inn of the Wayward Knife. Please meet him there before the mid-night bell chimes this very evening. I shall eagerly await your arrival. ~by the hand of the Scribe of Scribes ~By the Will of the Great Caliph, Benin Abal-Kasir ​I couldn't bring myself to leave anyone behind so I am taking everyone. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me. I will be posting the quest thread shortly. I hope all of you are as excited as I am to get my first quest underway. ~Asphalt

Annienal Attacks Cole From the Front Row. OOC: Lind I would also say go ahead and Autoroll after this round with Vindsval attacking the healer until dead and then healing the lowest health player.

"How excellent to have a Giant's strength, but how tyrannous to use it like a Giant. It is the Duty of those with power to use that power to protect the weak or afraid. Perhaps, our display will give these people the strength they need to protect themselves."

Any experienced QMs want to take a quick look at a couple of my battle set ups to give me feedback?

OOC: incidentally Vindsval would get another X2 from being encouraged in addition to his X2 against humanoids. But dead is dead.

Posting for Warlen as he requested. The mage watches two more opponents fall at the hands of his companions, he is still headily drunk from his overconsumption before the battle. "Way to knock those two up guy!! Wait no I mean way to get knocked up. No, I mean way to knock them down. Yeah that's it." He turns to Cole. "Time for me to blow you good, ready to have your socks, err hat knocked off?" Warlen Attacks Cole with a Wind Element Attack from the Back Row. Vindsval looks down at the slain highwayman. "Goodbye human, may you find grander things than this on your next journey." He turns from the dead knife slinger to the healer. "As I told you earlier, a man who brings aid to the injured should be wiser than to join with those who are causing the hurt." Vindsval targets and attacks the Healer from the Back Row with Verkenner. Battle Order 1. Annienal 2. Vindsval 3. Warlen 4. Miderun 5. Bobby

Not the Duck song, anything but the duck song.

Vindsval catches Verkenner as it returns to him. He squints his eyes, attempted to clear them. It must be all the sand and grit. His aim is normally much better. "Let us see if your Luck holds again Master Fletcher." Vindsval attacks Patrick from the Back Row with Verkenner. Battle Order 1. Annienal 2. Warlen 3. Miderun 4. Vindsval 5. Bobby

So I was right. What do you know?

But I think all enemy weapons not marked, "Ignore Row" do half damage. But you may be right.

OOC: Pat's knives say pierce SP, but you wrote it as ignore row. Shouldn't the damage have been halved since they pierce not ignore?

This is the most straight forward explanation of elemental multipliers I have seen. Each zero negates one multiplier. Perfect, thanks.

See this is why Vindsval is a northern half giant, not a desert half giant. Stupid sand must keep getting in his eyes.

Excellent, especially since one part requires for sets of hands.

I will look forward to the chance to apply for another opportunity.

Is a woohooo premature?

oneil ran into that scenario in an episode of SG1.

Vindsval reaches up and pulls the small blade from his shoulder. "A foul strike manling, a foul strike indeed. Allow me to return in kind. The Half-Giant picks up his Rock broom from where he had rested it while removing the blindness from his old friend Miderun. "Fly true and strike hard Verkenner." He hurtles the weapon at Patrick Fletchings from the back row. "The only rolling I care to see is my enemies head from their shoulders." Vindsval growls through gritted fanged teeth. His eyes flare red. It seems he might be having a hard time keeping his calm. Battle Order 1. Annienal 2. Warlen 3. Miderun 4. Vindsval 5. Bobby

One would have to die first. But I guess if there were enough end of reound negative effects it could happen. Depends on if the negative effects still go into effect if the fight is finished.

fantastic work. The glyph pieces fit perfectly and the color accents look very clean.

Vindsval steps back from the flailing woman so as not to be struck accidentally. "Calm yourself Miderun, allow the Remedy to take effect. That which can be seen can be more easily destroyed."
