Palathadric

I miss Shoker86.

The party successfully exits the house leaving the three children in a groggy state. Where would they like to go?

"Okay. That is not going to happen. I thought you sounded funny at first, but you look like bad guys to me. You don't even have a nice face. I'm certainly not letting you go anywhere, as you can't mean any good to Doctor Cula or anyone else with your words."

Cree finds a pair of High Heels (Power +1; suitable for women; footwear) Kellim finds a Peasant’s Hood (Max. Health +1; headwear) and a Leather Cap (SP:1; headwear)

"Hmmm...perhaps we should have asked the doctor more questions. This could be tricky. "How long have you been here? Where did you come from?"

Kheyli finds two Golden Rings (Worth 15 gold; can be given to someone to make them enamored with the giver.) Kellim finds a Woodchopper's Axe (WP:8; Deals Double Damage to Plant-types; Axe), there is also an assortment of clothes which he may or may not want to bother to look through. Carefully wrapped in a napkin, Quintessa finds a Gold Bar Cree finds the greasy sausage quite tasty.

I turn worriedly to the others. "I thought this would be relatively simple and straightforward and that the problems in this equipment would be obvious, but I am beginning to realize that I am no engineer and thus have no idea how most of this stuff is supposed to work. Do any of you have any experience in dealing with these kinds of things. For instance, do you think we are actually supposed to, somehow, flush out that goo there?"

Cheapy doesn't respond, but just races away. Kellim opens the door to see a rather empty-looking room. What will the party do?

"Ezeran, do you think you could make a bridge of wood with your emerald?

By the heat of the "room", I try to determine whether the goo at the bottom is hot or not.

Loot: Ezeran: Ruby Timothy: Phoenix Essence Everybody Else: 1 Fire Bomb "So, let's keep moving everyone. I hope we don't run into more creatures like that.

Note: Updated Battle Order with slight change.

Suddenly, Cheapy rushes into the room, holding the statuette. He pauses upon seeing the heroes, and skitters about nervously. "Hey! Heroes. I have it. Let's beat it, quick. Whatever you do, don't go in that room! Good job with taking them out. Don't worry about them." With that, Cheapy turns and rushes down the hall. What will the heroes do? By placing is hand on the door, Kellim determines that it will open if he gives it a shove. Will he do so or follow Cheapy's advice? Quintessa makes herself at home and feels healthier for it. The greasy sausage suiting her fabulously.

Oops. Missed that post. Kid attacks from the back row if successfully healed. Otherwise, he does nothing.

It's rather amazing how Eubric is going to pieces and the heroes are in the hall chilling. The veterans be like, Eubric is going to hell and most of the heroes don't want to rescue it? Okay, that's cool. Just keep doing what you're doing.

"Oh, dear! Try to be careful as you hit him again." Petaldan moves to the Back Row to Attack Same Battle Order except Timothy goes before Kid

"Wow, Torald, you're on fire! Not literally, of course...yet." I continue hacking at it. Repeat Battle Order

Whoa! Here come the Heroica Papers exposed by yours truly

"Nice work. I'll hold up my shield as a defense and we can all rush him. Petaldan repeats Same Battle Order

Kellim doesn't see Cheapy in the immediate area.

"As an artisan, I can see such an artifact being useful, but ultimately I plan to go back to being a cleric at which time, encouragement may be more important. You see, I also have the Soul Link Chain, which I intend to use more regularly then I have been. It's not really a question of price."

Round 6 of the Farm House Battle Kellim vs Suzy - Shield (Frenzy: 13+5*2=36 Damage to Yaryar and Emilie; 34 Damage to Suzy; Suzy KOed) >Quintessa vs Yaryar - Shield (Frenzy: 3+5/2=4 Damage and *Bleeding 3* to All Enemies) >Kheyli vs Emilie - Shield (Frenzy: 5+7/2=6 Damage to All Enemies; Yaryar KOed) *Bleeding* Damage Emilie KOed The battle ends just as the heroes hear Cree puffing into the house from somewhere. The finish is glorious but somewhat anti-climactic from god's perspective. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS The three barbarians level up and natural respite does its thing.

"Um...Kid, there's absolutely no reason for you to move forward to shoot him. You're only going to get yourself killed. Why not stay back and fire your arrows from where he can't reach you as easily?"

"I...I think so. I have grown more resilient since then...I believe. I hope you would be willing to quest with me again should the opportunity arise?" 150 Gold, do I really need it? "Hmm...I'm actually not so sure about the Razor. It doesn't exactly encourage me."

"If you insist on opposing our work, we have to destroy you." I attack from the Front Row Battle Order: Torald - Sludge Glaive >Ezeran - Wood Spell Petaldan >Hunkan >Kid >Timothy
