"Miss Calmcacil is right, besides, I already said we'll help Syrma. Master Pretzel, your objections have been noted." "Master Nihai, it does look like your dragon has found something, I say we follow him."

Loot distribution: Johon: Brimstone armour Namyrra, Pretzel, Thormanil, Syrma: 1 dragon scale Nerwen: mulled wine, 1 dragon scale "Rastaban, do you know the way out by any chance? And Syrma, I very much would like to help you, so unless anyone has some very good reasons for why we shouldn't, I say we will help you." While waiting for answers Namyrra summons Mediq to heal Nerwen.

"Don't worry old man, I can handle him."

Namyrra and Rastaban repeat. Same battle order.

"Right, almost done I think. Master Nihai, if you and master Johon could throw one water bomb each I believe we'll have the wisps covered, Syrma, perhaps you could use your scroll of frailty on Flamboa B? Miss Calmcacil, as lovely as your singing is I guess you'll want to conserve your ether for now, but do as you please." Namyrra repeats Rastaban attacks Flamboa B Battle order: Nerwen Thormanil Johon Syrma Rastaban Namyrra Pretzel

"Excellent work master Nihai!" "Now, I really want to have that pesky dragon as a pet, so it would be nice if we didn't end this just yet.. miss Calmcacil, please keep singing that lucky song of yours. Master Pretzel, please continue whacking that Flamboa A, the rest of you, please take down those wisps!" Namyrra sends a water spell at Flamboa B from the back row. Battle order: Nerwen Pretzel Namyrra Thormanil Syrma Johon

"That could most definitely work." Namyrra uses a grand potion on Thormanil. Battle order updated.

"Oh bugger, I was sure master Pretzel had both flamboas covered, sorry about that miss Calmcacil, I should be able to heal you in a bit, just keep singing please. Syrma, it would be great if you could attack will-o-wisp D. The rest of you, keep up the good work!" Namyrra repeats Battle order: Pretzel Namyrra Nerwen Thormanil Arx Syrma Johon

"Oh right, I had forgotten about that staff of yours, that simplifies things a bit. Master Nihai, it would be nice if you and Arx could target will-o-wisps A and B, master Johon, please target will-o-wisp C." Battle order updated

"Well, well, well. I shall slay you like I've slain countless foes before you, and then I'll raise you from the dead to have you as a pet." "Now, to business. I expect us to suffer two free hits this round, but as long as they're from will'o'wisps they hardly matter. I'll target that oversized flying bad breath, master Nihai, master Pretzel, please take care of the flamboas. Miss Calmcacil it would be excellent if you could sing that same song as you did in the previous battle. Syrma, it seems we're on the same side for now, we can talk about our differences afterwards, but for now it would be great if you could target Rastaban with your scroll of frailty." Battle order: Thormanil Nerwen Pretzel Syrma Namyrra Arx Johon Namyrra sends a Wind spell at Rastaban through her Crystal Mace from the back row.

Namyrra stands quietly at the back, content for now with letting Thormanil do the talking.

"I'll go to whoever that person is, the flames can't hurt me. The rest of you can choose if you want to follow me or get to safety."

"Well, I got devoured by an archdemon once, can't say that was an experience I want to repeat." Namyrra looks around for any kind of features in the Void that can help them figure out how to get out.

"Good job gang, and master Pretzel, it's good to see you're still alive, I'm happy we managed to rescue you from the belly of the beast. I'll split all the loot evenly except the tonics since miss Calmcacil and I are the only ether users around I figure it's in everyone's best interest to make sure we can replenish our etherial energies from time to time." Loot distribution: Everyone gets: 3 potions, 2 remedies, 1 Phoenix Essence and 100 gold. Namyrra and Nerwen each get 5 tonics. "Now, does anyone have the slightest idea where we actually are?"

"Almost done now guys, just need to avoid that little teddybear devouring us all, snatching our victory into its jaws of defeat so to speak. Miss Calmcacil, keep singing, I'll replenish your ether now." Same battle order. Namyrra uses Ether Core on Nerwen Namyrra attacks Void Eater from the front row with Empyreal Staff

"Miss Calmcacil, I'll get your ethereal energies replenished once we're done, don't worry about that, as long as you can keep singing we have a much better chance at taking this thing down." Same battle order. Namyrra repeats both actions.

"Ok, this might still work. Miss Calmcacil keep singing that song." Same battle order Namyrra hits Left Claw from the front row with Empyreal Staff Namyrra hits Void Eater from the back row with Empyreal Staff

"Oh crap." Same battle order. Namyrra uses smelling salts and attacks Void Eater from the back row with empyreal staff and prays to gods she doesn't believe in that it the strike will land true.

"Drats, I don't think this little teddybear can be targeted with my usual attacks." Namyrra hits Left Claw from the front row with Empyreal Staff "Master Pretzel, you have the thickest armour of us, so I think you should engage the Void Eater. Master Nihai, if you could take on the right claw that would be most excellent. Master Johon, feel free to attack whichever enemy you see fit, but with your lack of armour you might want to avoid the Void Eater. Miss Calmcacil, if you know any suitable songs now would be a good time to start playing." "Of course, if any of you have better ideas feel free to speak up." Battle order: Nerwen Pretzel Namyrra Thormanil Johon OoC: I'm going on vacation for the next two weeks, but as the general plan is to just relax in the middle of nowhere I should have plenty of time for Heroica, so I don't expect there to be any problems. Will let you know if that changes. Secondly, is this a record for shortest time to get to a battle? Post 7 in the thread and a battle already.

"Let's go then."

Having heard she'd be going on a quest again Namyrra quickly went to the market and sought out Fabian to have him: Remove topaz from Golden Dragon Crown (-50) Remove sapphire and garnet from Desert Cloak (-100) Merge topaz, sapphire, garnet, ruby and aquamarine, and scroll of confusion into Robe of the Archmagi (-300) And also bought a Paper Doll (-40) She then went to Anwyl and sold him her Pongcanis Spear for 45 gold, and her silver ore for 60 gold (+105) (OoC: I think I've never sold that silver ore, will look and subtract 60 gold if it turns out I already have) With 546 gold left she then went to find her quest mates at the Veterans' Chamber.

Having overheard Arthur talking about how he was leaving Heroica Namyrra sought him out. "Since you're leaving.. does that mean you'll be willing to let go of some of your equipment? Like, say, those overkill gloves, or those speed reading lenses?"

For what felt like the umpteenth time Namyrra sought out the Copper Fox in the training room. "I've decided I don't want to be an archmage, too many boring restrictions, I'll rather go back to being a Necromancer."

Namyrra suddenly woke from her trance-like slumber, were her ears deceiving her? Had really someone mentioned Fenario? A quick look at the questboard confirmed her ears were indeed still working. "Certainly didn't expect to go back to Fenario any time soon, but the Dragonlord did ask for Fenarians and highly experienced heroes, and I do think I qualify on both counts." she quietly muttered to herself before signing up for quest #135.

I'm thinking the same thing, always have a hard time getting things done when I'm leaving on a trip right after work.
