Palathadric

"But surely you could not part an old man from his walking stick!" "Follow Daxus, lead, everyone. I've got you covered, Daxus! I have no clue as to what happened that first time around. Must have said something wrong, eh? I think I am more of a healer."

"Assuming there is nowhere else we have missed. Yes. I think we should save any consumables to strengthen us in our fight against the progg of death himself. I wonder if he is the devil himself. If so, some of you may know him. He used to hang around the hall in Eubric. Devilish fellow."

"We can't be certain."

"Agreed, but be careful. Let's explore the room cautiously. If we're just facing ordinary proggs we needn't prepare, but if it's the death progg then we may want to get a bit more in shape, especially you rogues." If there is nowhere else to explore, we cautiously turn the keys in the door and peer inside to see what we can see.

I add my pretzels to the snack, but then eat them all anyway. "What was the place that the devilish punii progg wanted to blow up with the bomb components? Didn't it appear to lead to an underground river? Maybe we should go back there and examine what the situation was like? That's where we got that swords Erik now possesses, correct?" "I would like to see some of those digital renderings of that place."

The" "lining" part made me believe it was the path, but I was uncertain as to how we would draw a picture of a path. But I guess I did do it in the end, didn't I? "...Oh, and I almost forgot. 30 gold to everyone. Eat, drink, and be merry!"

"The words on the trunk are odd indeed. What does it mean by, "guide through this vault? How, would you consider, the green dragon to have guided us?"

"My eyes fail me yet again," I complain. "Give the smelling salts to Mizuki and ten of her gold goes to Daxus." "I don't have a grand potion with me, but if one of you thinks it necessary to give Punii a grand potion instead of a regular one, then I'd be happy to give you one of my potions to, somewhat, compensate."

"Daxus, I believe you wanted the nostrum earlier, so I will give it to you. I will take the smoke bomb since none of the rest of you need it. 20 gold to myself, Erik, and Mizuki. Sorry, none for you, Daxus. You've already received a lot of loot and that nostrum is worth more than 20 gold if I'm not correct. The smoke bomb we can probably use to make one of those bombs, but I'm not sure whether to use a normal potion or a grand one. Perhaps a grand one would make more sense."

I may have missed something in this thread, but does anyone know when it will come out?

"Wait a moment fellows, we are practically letting a whole clann of proggs escape without resistance. We all know how fast these things can breed. Is it really wise to let them go like that? Well, on second thought, I'm guessing that all of these are males and we killed the spawner and the eggs, so that is a good thing, I guess, but still, do we want to risk it?" Adding to the insanity of the moment I frantically search the shelf on the left, the barrel atop it, and the statue next to that. "What are those green stripes on the wall?" I query aloud to no one in particular.

It's the principle of the matter.

So sorry fellows. One computer I had been using crashed and more recently the one I had LDraw installed on and all the LDraw models just crashed three times in a row. Both of them seem to be hardware failures. Trying to get the latter back up and running, but it's a slow and tedious process. Apparently the former owners of the computers were not very gentle with their equipment. Thankfully, however, I managed to backup most of the LDraw models, however I cannot install SR 3D Builder anywhere at present. Hopefully, that will change soon. Models are still coming. I'm almost done with the Castle sets and also have done most of the Pirates 2009 already and the Islander sets too. Just need to add the minifigs. Thanks for your understanding.

"No fair. We fought your kind before and got SP from it. "What good are you anyway! "Deal with them as you will, Daxus. I will search the room for any loot or any XP."

My chest swells with pride. "I've done a lot of studying, you know. It takes years to acquire the mass of knowledge I have stored in this brain. But I guess you wouldn't know. I've devoted decades of my life to the faithful study of history and the arts among many other things. That was while I dwelt in the quiet of the Abbey in Monaestiasco." "Now that we have the bomb components, we would actually very much like to kill you, as far as I'm concerned. Easy way to gain extra XP."

Really, but would you know what his back printing is? I'm all with you on that one.

"I believe it is the Ziegfrieds, Master Daxus. One of the quests was riddled full of their members. I didn't read all the quests, but I didn't see a whole lot of Hinkwell names, but I sure did see a lot of Ziefried ones. I would go with the Ziegfrieds." "Let me summarize the list: There was: The Miracleworker The Doomsayer The Golden Dragon The Walking Mountain Lady Luck and...what was the last one again? Somebody...? I always forget that one. Must not have been so important." "No idea. I have no following for pagan religions. Could it be "Temple of Mercury," or something. This is purely guesswork, but I guessed one of the other answers already. Otherwise I will go with Daxus' one. I don't think it makes much sense, but Daxus would know better about these things, I could imagine, than I."

I grow quiet at the mention of the 6 "Founding Fathers" (and mothers )of Heroica. "...The missing one is the Miracleworker," I say stoicly. "You all really should have known that. No self-respecting cleric would not remember him, nor should any self-respecting hero. He was the most heroic of the lot, he was." I sigh reminiscently. "How would you know that no one knows their true names," I fumed indignantly. "Just because you never knew them and the vast majority of people on this earth are not old enough to have met them does not mean that we are all as young as that." I groan. Memories and recollections flood to mind. "Ennoc is the God of light. The God of the paladins. Whether He is the same as the God I know though cannot be ascertained. My God has many names. God of Light is the meaning of just one of His names. All that to say though, yes, Ennoc is the God of the paladins," my voice is still shaky and quiet.

"Are you looking for the truth here? I guess not. The truth is that it was the cleric. The righteous one who received much slander after he went and lived the life of a hermit. Otherwise, the common fable is that the dwarf did. That's a lie though, but you said "was said to". "If you're going to scram when we answer the questions correctly why not just do so now? What will asking questions of us help you any?"

"Ummm, sorry proggs for attempting to teach me grammar, but I gave it to you in three separate sentences. You haven't answered my questions yet either. I will guess that you haven't heard of the band of roving horse herders, so I guess I'll go with the eye for now. Devilish symbolism by all means!" Endgame, see my above post, I had edited it with further questions to the proggs. Also, you mentioned that there were other symbols. I am guessing an eye is one, another I was thinking of was a flower, but what were other correct answers?

"Apart from wind though, the only thing I can think of it being associated with is the tribe of horse herders far to the north that I encountered in my travels. Their name sounded similar to this. Otherwise Isiris could have something to do with an eye." "Don't give me that snotty look, devil. The only reason we are bothering to take this little quiz of yours and not downright kill you, is that you are freakishly jittery and may bump into any of those explosives whether suicidally or not. If you hate the death progg so much then scram. I'll give you a minute's head start before we come after you. At least you will have had a chance unlike here." What are you hoping will happen once we answer the questions anyway? Huh? What will you do then? What does such knowledge mean to you anyway? Is Isiris your god? Perhaps his symbol would be a demon then, or perhaps not a regular demon but one that looks similiar to yourself. Hmm?" I'm seriously clueless here.

"I would not know this. I don't spend a lot of time reading up on false gods, but I do believe an acquaintance of mine was devoted to him/her. That person embodied wind, but that doesn't seem to have anythign to do with it, let us see if one of the others would know."

Zakura hasn't been online for a while, but I gave her the potion in exchange for one gold coin, just so you know. Also Zakura, since a lot of pages have been added today Monk Pretzel was asking Mizuki if she wanted so sell her smoke bomb to him for 5 gold.
