Yeah, it makes it far more enjoyable to watch a game without being biased...if it's a decent game. I really felt bad for Italy at the end though. Again, though, we see the importance of scoring the first goal. As Italy did look quite threatening before Spain scored. Do any of you know who is qualified for the Olympic football? How do the qualifications for Olympic football work anyway? I don't know how I don't know this, but somehow I don't.

From what I can tell Jones is scum and needs to be lynched, if he does turn up town, then either Walter is scum or Wheeler and Holloway are. Of course, Jones flipping scum does not confirm the towniness of Walter, but it does, perhaps, confirm Wheeler a bit. That short bit is just to say that it seems to be the right idea to lynch Lt. Jones. Vote: Lieutenant Zachary Jones (Flipz) Oh, he has also gone all head-banging and eye-rolling on us.

It doesn't have to be this way at all. The vig could have just gone after Lt. Wright, right? Would the redirectors know if he successfully redirected someone?

"That's why I'm having you do it."

Just wondering, is it a normal thing that the scum only have one killer? I haven't watched as many holo-vids as you all have, but in the one that showed it all from the scum's perspective anyone on the team could kill, I think.

Oh, would the English get that thought out of their heads. Man, that was not at all what I expected today, although I have to say that I was expecting Spain to win. Italy did some good things, but were actually quite poor. It was a real disappointment to see them go a man down due to the coach having made all his substitutions already. In this particular game though, Spain deserved to win. So Viva to them...I guess. Now that it is over, which game was your favourite of the cup? I have to say that my favourite was France-Spain. Spain practically handed the game to France on a silver platter and begged them to take it doing so tremendously bad. And France, offended by it, just had to pull off an even worse performance. Actually, really thinking about it, I don't know which game I would consider my favourite.

"Let's go with Daxus' plan. Erik push the said button. All this button-pushing is a bit hard on my finger."

Welcome back to Heroica Fred. I hope you can get on that quest. You are a knight after all.

Wow! That was quite unexpected. One evil guy dead and no good guys. What a relief. Do you think there is a chance that there was only one Purist and we got him? Oh, come on it's a nice thought at least! More seriously, I hope that the lack of a kill is the work of our blocker or protector and not that the scum did a conversion instead of killing.

I hope they will make a new minifig for Gandalf the White.

Just a quickly written list. What the character loves: God, Gold, food…good food, Racism (a hell of a lot of you seemed to be putting this in the “Hates” category, so I had to do this) What the character hates: Any freakin’ folks who don’t look human, but who have intelligence. E.g. orcs, trolls, undead, Thotwick, etc. Also Necromancers and magic wielders in general, some tolerance towards mages. Fornicators. Anyone who defies God. Annoying heroes who don’t seem to see the need for salvation. what the character fears: That the world will succumb to the likes of the above-mentioned. That he will die of starvation. That he will run out of gold, What the character believes: God is Master of all and everyone not serving him has got serious issues and should be ultimately killed if it is impossible to convert them. Conversion non-human looking folk is impossible (they are just bad). That it is important that everyone in Heroica pays him their tithe. What the character values: Others who believe in God like he does, gold, books, wisdom. What the character wants: Power…unlimited power! (Just kidding) The world to become fully subjugated by people who believe in God. That non-human looking intelligent folk be driven out or enslaved. What the character knows about: A hell of a lot. He has been around for a number of centuries already. People who made a difference in the character's life: Arasmyth. I won’t go into the rest now. You guys will all look at me. Discoveries that made a difference in the character's life: The power of the almighty. That there are humans, etc who like orcs and the like. Decisions that made a difference in the character's life: Coming to Heroica Hall and a ton more.

Endgame, I did want to push the other button, but I suppose it's fine. "I believe that I wanted to push the other button, but it's fine." I call as one of the others pushes the wrong button. "I guess we have no choice now, but to push it again." "Daxus keep moving forward, if you can. We should be able to meet on the other side...somewhere."

Oh, no, why do I get the impression that I should anticipate a brick-built wall of text. Hmmm, interesting regarding the book. Will have to look it up. Thanks, Flipz!

"Daxus, try pressing the button in that room again. See what happens. Apart from that it doesn't look like we'll have to enter this trap and hope that one of those two buttons opens the door up. The question is, should the three of us go together? I don't see any other way for the us to be able to get in otherwise. So let's all three of us go straight forward, and push the button closer to the closed door. If one of you disagrees, speak up now or forever hold your peace."

"Okay everyone, step out of the room and Erik use your spear to poke the button. Before you do so, though, Daxus look for traps, etc because you like doing that."

Some good quests coming up. Unfortunately, even if Monk Pretzel were back in the hall he would not have had the ability to go on any of those quests as they all have requirements that he would not be able to meet. I would have really liked to go on the rescue the damsel in the tower though. Who knows, we may have decided that she was taken rightly and leave her there. I wouldn't put it beyond Pretzel to do such a thing. How far along would you say you are in the Dastan trilogy?

So ahead of tomorrow, who are you supporting to win the cup? Italy or Spain. I have to say, I'm for Italy, but I don't think I'll be particularly disappointed if they lose. I only really started enjoying the Italians' style of play this Euro Cup as even in the matches leading up to it they did somewhat poorly (thinking of their 3-0 lose to Russia here ).

"Um, I believe that is an open passage right in front of us. It looks like it, anyway. Let's go through there."

"God!" I plead. "I was being specific just a little while ago. Was that not good enough? I gave you several ways in which you could answer my prayer."

Seriously, Tamamono, you should know that only I am allowed to joke during Mafia games without everyone running around like headless chickens.

We puzzle this one out while the room begins to brighten so we can see what is around us. "Sorry, Daxus, someone divied up the loot while I was not looking. If you want this cannonball though, I will exchange it with you for that Fire Bomb."

"Agreed! Erik could use the smoke bomb, and the Smelling Salts are all yours, just keep them away from me." "The distribution of the essences is perfectly fine. However, I have to disagree with the distribution of the Cannonballs. I should get one, because I'm the least heavy-hitter in the group. Also, I don't have any damage-dealing bombs anymore while you all have at least one. Therefore, I'm inclined to keep one for myself. Otherwise, perhaps, you can hand me back the Fire Bomb I sold you. "It only makes sense that the least heavy hitters are the ones that throw the bombs. "Eric and Daxus attempt to push the barrel down together and let us see whether or not you will have the strength to bring it down. Otherwise, Daxus, attempt to hack the barrel apart with your sword. I don't see why it wouldn't work. If all else fails, Erik can try to hook it out with his spear. If even that fails, I will try to fly into the barrel on my flying cross and retrieve it."

But that was both team's first game and they were both desperate to get the competition to a winning start. A battle for third place, almost as a rule, is always an exciting encounter. The defense is usually not particularly strong as neither team are clinging desperately to get third place, but at the same time both sides want to go out with a bang so usually the attack is strong. This is also, often, a chance for younger players to get chances on the pitch. Besides, third place game, again almost as a rule, have more goals than the finals.

I heal the whole party with a miracle. I heal Daxus. "Alright then, great moves all. Daxus, you should have taken a potion when you were so low on health, but all is well. Here, each of you take 9 pieces of gold. I'll take that key. Daxus and Erik, stay here and converse with the progg if you will. Make sure it doesn't get back on its feet and start fighting again. Mizuki and I will go back into the other chamber and attempt to open the chest using this key. It looks a similar size to the lock on the chest, so I think it should open."
