"Command your men to ensure those two do not exit the premises," I shout to the captain. I rush t the window to check if the men had exited the premises yet. Just for the record, I'm not sure what my movement will be like at the end of this week and next week. I might be in the bush somewhere without an internet connection...

Whoa! We're not callous, we're just tough. Heckz and Eric are hilarious!

I would agree. The confused effect doesn't really do much to heroes as of now.

Gonna miss you, mate. Good luck!

"I wouldn't oppose ridding ourselves of the wretched being," I mumble so only my party, if that, can hear me.

"Good sir, how can you be sure which ones are infiltrators? Or can your spirit detect that? "In any case," I turn to the others heroes, "if there are heroes about investigating, we could save them a lot of trouble by letting them or the city guard or whoever know that there's no danger to the inhabitants of the city and perhaps collect a small reward ourselves. Who knows?" Turning back to the captain, I query, "Is there anyway to find out why members of the Ironwill are seeking refuge in this city and what from?"

Underground Eubric is a little bit like a hero's bag of holding.

"Do you and your men still get out and about sometimes? The smithy wondered why you had not come to pick up the 'package.' He wanted us to ensure that all was well."

"Besides, it's one thing to have weapons and another thing to know how to use them...not saying that we don't know how to use them, mind you."

"Maybe that's why the package is still here."

When you think 'god,' think Docken.

"Yes, perhaps we should just take the captain's order and be gone. I apologize if my companions appear rude. It's just that we came here expecting weapons of almost magical properties from the stories we had been told. It seems that you have quite a reputation for making reliable weapons, though the stories maybe somewhat exaggerated. In any case, most of our weapons have proved rather trustworthy as of now. So I don't know if any of us will be indulging you at this point. Thank you kindly for your help and if you do happen to get any of your machines running before we leave that would enable some of the finer smithying arts, then do not hesitate to let us know. "...you don't happen to have or have had any weapons that would deal the petrified effect or a kind of mummifying one for that matter, would you?" I scrutinize his eyes for any sign of reaction, without appearing to do so.

I don't see anything wrong with encouraging people to play whichever kind of character they want or feel comfortable playing as. I do admire the fellows among us who have gone the length to write for female characters well. I don't mind them being rewarded for their efforts, but I can understand those who feel otherwise. For people whose main joy out of Heroica is min-maxing, then it can be annoying to not have the options others have available just because of their role-playing choice at the beginning of the game. By the way, since we're talking about it. I would very much like to applaud Sandy for creating so many female NPCs! It certainly does add variety to Heroica's world. I have to agree here too. There are sometimes when female characters can just come across as forced, especially when one writes for too many of them. That's another reason why I appreciate Sandy's female NPCs a lot. I don't see that "forcedness." What? Skimpy armour iz da best eva!!! Actually it is quite realistic. But I suppose in a fantasy world it might not be. But let's not go there. I was just going to say that. Well said! Well said! Emoticons help too. Who can get worked up when they see this little thing in a post: Dawww!!!

Sorry if I'm not quite catching all that was said, but are we allowed to change weapons to a different type now or not? "Do you happen to have any already forged weapons lying about for sale?"

I don't really have a problem with gender-specific classes. It's not like an all-female class is going to affect Pretzel (although if its a really great class I might complain ). If people want to spend their time coming up with gender-specific classes that's fine, but I don't think too many options for classes/items should be restricted by the character choice a person makes before even starting to play the game.

"Yes, that would make it easier on all of us. So how much would it cost to change this Shadeaux Mace into a different weapon, keeping its fragilizing effect?"

"We are actually working for the overwatch, in case it wasn't clear." "So if I were to hand you, say, a mace with certain properties, would you be able to craft me a staff, let me use as an example, with those same properties? I am also interested in what you mean by upgrading armour, I have a couple breastplates that could use some more thickness."

"Someone who we were supposed to be meet up with...of course," I add.

...but...

"Hmm...these weapons are rather unusual. Why did you select this choice of colour? To whom do you usually cater as well, if I may ask?"

Capt.JohnPaul, you may want to check your PMs for ones you've not read yet.

I shake my head to clear it of the confusion. "So, men are deserting the Ironwill and are getting killed in this city from the looks of it? That's not good...not good at all," I muse. "I have to wonder why the city guard didn't mention some of these things."

I use a Potion on Nerwen and a Grand Potion on Dyric. "This should keep you going," I try to say gruffly. I handed over the Magical Staff (WP:15) and received the Splinter Broom (WP:8; broomstick; defies SP) and Shadeaux Mace (WP:9; deals fragile effect) I also received: 2 Health Cores, 2 Phoenix Essences, and a Demeter Bomb from the Decamon Tournament

Wow! That battle was more awesome than I even remembered it being. Yeow! This is one nasty assassin.

That's what I thought too.
