Should be able to. I'll see if we can do some auto-rolls if needed.

I'll definitely head back to the hall after this fight is over. Sorry doc , 105 is probably one of the best role-playing quests for me. Thanks for allowing me to join . *Cries tears of joy in unison with Flipz's tears of sorrow. *

I haven't been paying attention to the hall topic lately. 105 was closed?

"On it!" Fire Bomb back row

I wanted it to be the lucky die considering it was a chance game. I didn't expect it to be won, and I was expecting it have cost much more if it had been won in the end, at which point it's cost compared to nostrums wouldn't have been very over-powered. I do feel that the quick-draw quiver could have not been available, though. However, I feel that the majority of loot was was more balanced. Those two items not included, I believe the quest was very balanced in terms of loot.

"A mix of good and bad news is better than just bad news. Take your reward. Hopefully we can track down Quinton. Oh, before you leave, take this. The Bartender found it after that fight you had with those ruffians. He said you must have dropped it. I took the liberty of having it translated. It sounds like legend to me, but feel free to take a look." The Quest is Successful!

QM Note: I don't think anyone will mind if I just speak for the party, and they can say anything else if they want after. The party Returns to Hal quickly, passing groups of coughing citizens on the way. "So what did you find out?" The party explains that the break-ins had been a decoy, the purpose being to infect the city. They give him the vials of antidote, explaining that it needed to be used to cure the infected citizens. "Excellent work, This went farther than I'd expected, and you wrapped it up pretty good." Each party member gains 100 gold and a full level of experience. "So, who was behind this anyways?"

I'll start out by saying that I'm not disagreeing with many of these points, and that these became clearer as time progressed. I realized this was an issue A while into the parkour to get inside the pharmacy, and at that point wanted to end it, although it was already virtually over. And looking back on the mechanic itself, you are right, parkour in gaming should be kept to consoles, considering split-second decisions, and the utter time events will take. I definitely take partial credit for the time elapsed, considering it was extremely longer than I had expected. I underestimated the chase, the battles, the sneaking, etc. and the new mechanics involved took too long for this type of an RPG. However, I do feel that much of the time wasted was due to circumstances beyond my control, although I did bring the quest to last long enough to reach those times. Since this was mostly discussed already, I won't respond much, however I'll say that avoiding super-valued items is probably a good idea for anyone. This is somewhat similar to the parkour mechanics. I wanted to give the party freedom, but the choices were seemingly pointless overall, they may have just led to different loot and fights. I have an idea for a quest once I can fully work out getting models and pictures, assuming I will host it, and in it I plan for the quest to be very linear, hopefully not causing too much trouble. I honestly had an effort to try to create a more interesting plot with Jenessa, and even possibly a relationship with Romulus, but he decided to leave her in Luosh, even after her showing her abilities in combat. It is probably a good thing to note: If you're party is travelling in enemy territory, without any frequent NPCs talking, it's a good idea to have NPCs with the party to keep the plot interesting. I agree much of this was from my lack of properly thinking about how the plot-line, mechanics, etc. would play out in the actual quest. It's easy to make a plan, hard to execute it how you imagine. If I do plan to host my next quest, I will definitely be checking it out with some other QMs for advice, however my next quest is planned to be very straightforward, so hopefully it's execution would be easier.

I think that the quick-draw quiver should be limited to ranged weapons though, that might balance it out. Although then she will just fight from the back row as well...

I guess so, but I really never expected the game to be won. But Flipz, remember that it was a higher chance of winning considering the party could also roll a 4 or 5, so it was 1/1296. Still amazing it was won that quickly though

I think she was just really, really, really lucky.

QM Note: Gambling doesn't always pay, but sometimes it does. I hope the die is worth it! Although I will say in the grand scheme of things you actually got pretty lucky on how many times it took to win. I guess that's why that's the name of the game . Mizuki: 1 -10 2 -10 3 -10 4 -5 5 -5 6 -10 7 -10 8 -10 9 -10 (this game was really close, it got 3 sixes and then a 1 ) 10 -10 11 -10 12 -10 13 -10 14 -10 15 -10 16 -5 17 -10 18 -10 19 -5 20 -5 21 -10 22 -10 23 -10 24 -10 25 -10 26 -10 27 -10 28 -10 29 -10 30 -5 31 -10 32 -10 33 -10 34 -10 35 -10 36 -10 37 -10 38 -10 39 -10 40 WIN (and -10 ) -370 gold in total Will the party do any more shopping or will they return to Hal?

If that's how gambling worked, I think casinos would all have been sued. The game was approved by Sandy, and although it may be considered unfair, it is completely optional. I wanted to offer the possibility, and although tempting, it is completely a gamble, yet possible.

OoC: I don't know what I was thinking, I thought I needed a ranged attack to fight flying monsters Gladius

QM Note: I'll update stats when all shopping is done. I can roll multiple games if you want. It'll probably take a few if you aim to get the die , but it could be worth it... Or you might lose all your money Benji plays the game, losing all 10 gold. Will he play again?

Johon, unable to deal any damage, attempts to distract the bird again from the back row. Repeat.

Aepyornis A, muckraker, BR

QM Note: I'll be moving onto the party returning to Luosh for any shopping there and the completion of the quest sometime tomorrow unless the party has anything else they would like to do before then.

With a look of distrust, Quinton responds, moving to the front of the carriage. "It's code-name Cobra, you'll find it in those documents." He says, referring to a chest in the carriage. The party is distracted for a moment, looking through the chest for the documents, and when they look back, both Quinton and the guard driving the carriage are nowhere in sight, the two horses missing as well. Looking through the documents, Mizuki finds that it appears the cure would be from a combination of the Themor Potion type A and C. After examining it earlier, she realizes the potion apparatus would be able to do this.

"How would I have turned a profit if I didn't already have the cure? I thought you would have been sharper than this." Quinton replies, sighing heavily. "I'm the only one alive who knows which of the documents relate to the serum. You killed the only other a few minutes ago."

OoC: Incase I was holding hits back. Johon Does nothing.

Johon also throws a lightning bomb from the back row.

Mizuki looks around in the carriage, particularly finding a small box of syringes, apparently containing some more of the poison. "If you turn me in or kill me, we all lose. Six cities are already infected, not to mention you three. I doubt you'd even make it back to Luosh, let alone the hall. You don't have any leverage on me, but I have a few hundred people's lives on you. Let me go and you'll save them and yourselves.

That got me to thinking, couldn't a Health core, banana, etc. used the same way?
