"It's a 2 day journey. You'll probably need supplies and some sort of ride if you plan in getting there any sooner. I don't know if there is a single person behind this, although I highly doubt it. We are being paid fairly well, all things considered, so I doubt it's one person behind this."

"I'd tell you if I knew. Also, you're probably going to need to wait until morning if you plan on going to the pharmacy."

"I don't know how much that will help. We've been doing this for the past 11 nights. We would have finished our work here within a few more nights to be honest."

"Normally I'd say no, but I do think she is different. Not when we met her, or even an hour ago. But once you cross a line you break someone. You just did that. You make them stupid so they won't question orders, but hold thier life in the balance and they realize. They realize you're not a savior. You're the monster. You are the enemy.

"Because YOU broke her."

Johon pushes Sarge backwards as he tries to charge at Iris. "Enough!" Johon yells. "I've had it with your qualms, and Iris, although she was on his side, had no control over it! She's one of our only hopes to find how to stop him!"

QM Note: I've been reorganizing my photos so it seems the links are broken. I'll fix that soon. "Indeed he did. Our criminal activities in Luosh are merely a distraction, the point of what we are doing is not what it appears." The mercenary pulls out a partially filled bottle and hands it to Mizuki. Bottle of Unknown Substance - A partially filled bottle, with contents unknown. "Ok, so the place is called Themor Pharmacy. It's about a 2 day journey there. Anyways, my name is Derrick. Anyways, the pharmacy hired us to spread this throughout food and drink and such. I don't know, or really care, why though. Just as long as I get my pay."

QM Note: Not normally (As far as I know)

QM Note: Romulus is still knocked out.

Why would he have such a scroll on him? I mean if he was a miner, it doesn't seem to make much sense...

I'm fine with big bads as long as they are original enough. After a while, they can turn a bit sour. What was this? Quick question, should we move this into the quest-masters lounge? It seems more appropriate there.

Wait a minute, why would no one have ever used that invincibility spell? Also why would Regret have it? I feel like I'm critiquing a movie now.

I have some plans for different types of antagonists for the future. Probably some reckless, some that have extensive plans and can improvise, and some that are in between. I'm sure there will be some saboteurs as well. For some reason I have a feeling my idea would work a lot better than his plan . And I just came up with that in about the time I wrote it; a lot shorter than, say, a few thousand years.

Oh I think I get that he is supposedly trying to use the heroes against the world, but it seems totally unnecessary. I mean he could just as easily kill the heroes and use their bodies as disguise if it had to be the heroes. Also, he could probably just as easily march into Eubric, kill the town watch, and hold the citizens of Eubric hostage. Then just use that advantage to wipe out the heroes at the hall. I'm assuming that since Eubric is a Trading city, many of it's supplies come in from outside the city, rendering the heroes helpless. Once that is done, they'd basically storm across the rest of Olegia and start killing the other bad guys.

I'm not sure I totally understand how this worked. I think it would have been better to have the regret already have the lifespark, and somehow trigger it after he dies. That way he is literally both dead and alive, also, the mechanics of the life spark make more sense. Just being really weak to use the lifespark seems to be a bit silly.

I too see the cliche as somewhat annoying, although it is not entirely bad. I personally like it more when the antagonists plan a capture or to be beat more than just beat and become stronger. To put it in simpler terms, I like characters that plan out their scheme beforehand, and improvise as necessary. Make the other guy think he's got the upper hand. The cliche however is where they are open about their plan, and don't really use strategy. Also, one of the major flaws of the regret and many of your bosses is their no-kill policy. Realistically, they wouldn't give us this many chances.

OoC: Let's fight him! What could possibly go wrong? "Yeah, I'd like to know how beating the everliving crap out of you did that. Who knows maybe I'll use it against you."

OoC: The_custimizer, they've already taken the majority of the proggs as slaves.

"Never. Never go there."

"You are wrong Regret... I honestly cannot tell if you believe the crap coming out of your mouth, or if you just say it to try and glorify your 'cause'... You are destroying us entirely for the sake of revenge on other people! And you can shut your damned mouth about your stupid throne! You aren't their leader, you maniac! You make them follow your orders! You are a disgrace to all of them!" Johon retorts, his anger bursting out in loud shouts.

OoC: Wait a minute, you used the Oculoids to steal the documents to the lifespark to make the oculoids??? "You did it? Since when did you do anything for the Proggs?! You helped bring them death, and now you are trying to destroy your own kind!"
