Rumble Strike

The party decide to ignore the advances of the burly-looking men outside the Tavern, and head to the Magic Shop. By this time the woman is inside, so they all pile in. Inside, the shop is no less pink. The shop is small and charming, with stacks of scrolls and potions all over the place. There is an assortment of magical items for sale.

OOC: Yes the list is basically the same as the Marketplace. Thanks Sandy and WDB! The woman smiles at them and says, "I am Laxadaisi Velomptromp, proprietor of Laxadaisi's Magic Shop. Please have a look around the store, and if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them."

"I have to admit, for a few seconds there I thought I was a goner! So many people gone already, I though my time was up."

QM Note - I will assume in this instance that Nerwen actually wants to give Jurn's potion to Jui. It has been mentioned by others but not Nerwen who actually has the potion in her possession. Please make sure you state your actions in situations like these. With her best hopeful smile to Vres, Nerwen crouched down next to Jui, who was still and unmoving. She gently raised her head up and made her drink small sips of Jurn's potion. The yellow liquid was warm, perhaps the only thing in the town that still seemed to possess any heat, and she coughed. Vres immediately fussed over her but Nerwen stopped him with a gesture. Wait, Vres. Give her some room, and time for the potion to have an effect." Time seemed to pass very slowly in that cramped room. The party waited uncomfortably, some perhaps impatient to get going again, but they wanted to make sure Vres and Jui were OK. Eventually colour seemed to fill the frail woman on the bed, and she gripped Vres's hand with renewed strength. Tears fell down Vres's face as he saw that his wife was not going to succumb to the mysterious sickness, that Jurn's potion had kept it at bay again. Before she could say anything, Jui slipped into a deep, restful sleep, leaving Vres to thank the party. "I can't thank you enough for helping me, rescuing me from her," he glares at Sorrow, "and paying for this potion to revive my Jui. I hope you find out what is causing this sickness. If it is indeed this Darkstar gem, please tell me you will be careful. It seems no good can come of it." The party have completed the sidequest "Helping the Innocent". Nerwen has lost Jurn's Potion (Quest Item) Nerwen Calmcacil (played by Chromeknight) ** Party Leader ** Level 2 Cleric Power: 5 Health: 6/10 Ether: 5/6 Gold: 5 Inventory: Wooden Staff (WP:3), Potion x2, Remedy, Fire Bomb The party head out of Vres's house, leaving him reunited with his wife. They head back to the main street. The party cause quite a stir. They head to a pink building that they assume is the magic shop. A woman is outside waving, "Cooee!" However, outside the Tavern, two people shout out "Come over here!" With the party continue to the Magic Shop, or go to the Tavern instead?

Winston replies to Amber: "You think I will be able to sleep tonight after witnessing that horrible explosion? I feel sorry for those that died but I am so glad you are OK, darling. With so many deaths I'm not letting you out of my sight now!"

I would like to recall where we can investigate. "Did we finish investigating the Jordan residence satisfactorily guys?"

Well, you are a bunch of level 2s at the moment. It may be wise to have a look around the main street before rushing off into the mine, but if you can convince Nerwen then it's all good

Dak's doing well in Quest#13 I am pleased that you are reading all the dialogue, as there is a lot more of that than actual descriptions. Hope everyone is enjoying it.

QM Note - That was just a female torso I used, it's not a clue or anything. It was that or reusing the pirate girl torso

Nothing moved in Ve'er's main street. There was a chill in the air, a stillness that permeated skin and went deeper, into your core. It looked like a village that had suffered, and there was an emptiness about it that was quite eerie. Sorrow listened to the heroes discussion and let loose another long sigh. "I have no problem with you splitting up into two groups, but remember if you run into any kind of trouble you'll have less bodies. Anyway, Sarick, Nerwen, Gorg and Guts have all said to go to Vres' house first, so that's what we'll do. All together. Right Vres? Vres?" Vres had run off to one of the rundown houses that stood in a broken line just off the main street. He looked back at the party and said, "Come in heroes!". They follow him in to his small abode, clamouring for space with so many people present. Vres went straight to his wife. "Jui, Jui! Are you OK my darling?" he cried. There was no response, but the party could tell she was still breathing. Like the town itself, she seemed colourless, empty, devoid of any spark. Vres took her cold hand in his and clasped it tightly, tears pouring down his cheeks. What will the party do?

In order to treat this matter with a modicum of decorum, I shall not string the game along by not voting. In fact I vote Ra's Al Ghul (Fred Fred Burger) for being silent, then killed, then miraculously coming back to life, and wasting it by being quiet again.

I can understand why you are voting for me but come on people, think! This is a very unique game situation here with so many superpowered villains and it's more than feasible there are two town vigilantes, especially considering the fact that I can't guarantee the kill. Despite being the world's greatest assassin, I know. I expect the other vigilante has similar issues with their ability which is why only I killed. Look at Clayface, has he fooled the Creeper and everyone else? Mad Hatter has been sucked in, others must be too.

"I do not need to pack anything, Elf. Come on, Vres Halpo will lead us to his village." "Ve'er is not all that far, a night and a day to travel." The party leave Eubric and head towards Vres' village. They camp off the road, but with two Elvish heroes to call on for night watch they are uninterrupted in the night. Vres is very worried about his wife as they approach Ve'er. It is like a Western main street. The areas the party can go are: Laxadaisi's Magic Shop The Orcshead Tavern Vres' home The abandoned mine Where would the party like to go? Majority decision needed

My vigilante kill is not guaranteed, it's 50/50. My night one action targetting Calendar Man failed, but it wasn't a block, I was told it failed.

"Let's see. For this batch, Jurn used 1 x Essense of Elmstone, 1 x Highflower Herb, 1 x Spiderlily Petal and.... Jurn forgets other ingredients. Jurn sorry. Jurn not know what causes sickness. Jurn want to cure sickness as much as anyone!" "It's clear this... halfwit is of no further use to us. I suggest moving on."

Wait, I know Creeper has been pretty good for the Town so far, and I can certainly understand where he is coming from, but are we all just gonna believe what Clayface says? There's no proof that he is town, and he hasn't been very vocal in the last 3 days. I'm not saying his copying ability is suspect, just his allegiance. As we can tell, our abilities are based on our characters, and I know me being the best assassin in Gotham City isn't helping my case about now. There's not much I can do about that, but I am certainly no Scum. I am a vigilante, and I targeted Calendar Man because he, like some others, have not been speaking much or helping the Town cause. I am kind of surprised it actually worked, because it has failed every time so far. I can't help that our investigator died also, that's Clayface's deal.

Thanks for the pics everyone, some of the sets are looking really good. My favourite is still the Superman/Wonder Woman/Lex Luthor set with the mech, I think that's very well done. The Catwoman set is a nice cheap way to get Batman and Catwoman. The Joker, henchman and 'copter are actually really good in the Batwing set, it's the Batwing I don't particularly like Also not too fused on the Two Face set. I know the colour scheme is comic based but it makes it a little bit of an eyesore.

Lots of accusations flying about already, I see. I think it's clear that there are two people we need to look at, as I have said before. I don't think Ventriloquist's defence is strong enough at this stage, and who knows when Ra's will let us know what's going on with him, that's something I would really like to hear. I will admit I have not been talking as much as others due to other gaming commitments on EB, but I always try to keep on top of this discussion and vote for someone. So far one scum and one townie, I expect most have that record with Bane not convincing many people.

Jebs, I think Sandy was referring to the conclusion to the Donny Dozenhands Quest and how your party had the freedom to make the choice that "failed" the quest. With Masked's Centaur battle it purely comes down to dice roles rather than any discussion or consensus by the party.

With the selfless attitude of the party no more apparent than with the two Orcs, Nerwen gathers the necessary gold, pays Jurn and receives Jurn's Potion (Quest Item): Guts Holla (played by Scubacarrot) Level 2 Rogue Power: 5 Health: 8/8 Gold: 10 Inventory: Rusty Shortsword (WP:3), Potion, Venom, Bedroll Sarick Lanse (played by Xarrzan) Level 2 Mage Power: 5 Health: 6/6 Ether: 6/6 Gold: 15 Inventory: Healing Staff (WP:5, healing effect), Shark Fang Dagger (WP: 3),Opal Gem (Ice), Potion, Staff of Healing (HP:5) Dak Nikolus (played by darthnihilus) Level 2 Rogue Power: 5 Health: 8/8 Gold: 0 Inventory: Twin Longswords (WP:3), Venom, 2 Potions, Bedroll Nerwen Calmcacil (played by Chromeknight) ** Party Leader ** Level 2 Cleric Power: 5 Health: 6/10 Ether: 5/6 Gold: 5 Inventory: Wooden Staff (WP:3), Potion x2, Remedy, Fire Bomb, Jurn's Potion (Quest Item) Gorg (played by Lordofdragonss) Level 1 Barbarian Power: 4 Health: 8/8 Gold: 0 Inventory: Bone club (WP:3), a bottle of Mead, Potion Knifk (played by Bioniclover) Level 2 Knight Power: 5 Health: 9/11 Gold: 0 Inventory: Morning Star (WP:3), Wyrm Shield (SP:2), Potion The transaction then completed, the easy-going Jurn tries to answer their questions. "Jurn used to be apprentice for Guild of Invision. Guild full of Alchemists. Jurn had skill in alchemy and did well, but Jurn very clumsy. Poor Jurn kicked out of Guild for starting chemical fire. Jurn has to live in Hovels, but Jurn still has skills. Jurn takes ingredients and herbs to create special potions on order. Friend Vres say that in his village, several people get sick. Jurn creates potion to ease sickness, but Jurn cannot create potion to defeat sickness. Jurn has tried many things, many combinations, but none work. Jurn worried that sickness cannot be cured." Vres takes up the tale. "Jurn here has tried his best, but the ingredients he needs are not cheap. I used all my wages from the mine until it was shut down, but that has meant less money to pay for Jurn's help. Thnak you kind heroes for buying the potion. Can we go see Jui now? I am desperate to make sure she is OK."

Bane sure did a lousy job of convincing us he was a criminal :/ I agree with what's been said already, with Ra's back alive and kicking I'd like him to explain what happened, and if it had anything to do with those Lazarus pits he's so fond of. Wesker and his puppet are also highly suspicious. It will be interesting to see if anyone spotted anything last night.

Jurn beams a smile at the party. "Elf has so many questions. Jurn happy to answer them! Jurn likes talking to new friends! Vres is Jurn's best customer. Jurn sells Vres many potions for sick Jui and others. Friend Vres need another potion? Cost is 30 gold. Jurn not know why Jui is sick. Jurn unhappy about that. Jurn think Sorrow is good name for someone who doesn't smile." At this, Sorrow scowls. Vres looks at the others, distraught. "I don't have that kind of money. I was hoping to do some chores or something for Jurn to pay him off." What will the party do?

Oops, no idea how that happened. It should be WP:3, I will amend. Trust me I would have spotted it once there was another battle.

Sorrow frowns, she cannot understand Orcish. Vres leads them back the way they came. When they go past the makeshift prison area he shudders. The party travel deeper into the hovels until they come to a dimly lit shop. It's not a shop in the traditional sense - there's no need for those in the Hovels, where everyone knows everyone else's business and there's not much call for window shopping. It's not the touristy part of Eubric. A strange looking humanoid with green, pebbly skin waves at Vres from the arches of his shop. Clearly he recognises the poor, dishevelled man. "Hallo hallo weary travellers! Vres bring friends to see Jurn?" Sorrow puts her head in her hands and motions for the party to answer.

QM Note - Party after loot distributed. I gave Fenimor 5 gold as he did take part in the battle and Nerwen said 5 to each hero.

"No reward is worth this!" Gorg has joined the party!

Fill Gorg in on the way, we have tarried long enough!" The party heads back out towards the Hovels, Vres Halpo guiding them towards the medicine man.

Thanks both! Hopefully this stuff will all sink in and it should help speed things up
