Palathadric

"Not exactly immune," I state in a low voice, almost a growl. "But the decent Town Watch wouldn't want to enter this place because of the characters here and anyone who would give us problems is similarly terrified. Besides, who would want to make enemies with anyone in this hall knowing full well that all of Eubric's best warriors are or have been within these four walls?"

Is trading of cards allowed between games?

"Well, if you don't believe they will of course they won't," I taunt.

Thanks, Sandy! Wait a moment. I'm confused now. I thought we weren't supposed to base the card we put down on the card the first person put down.

"I'm not sure if such a 'disease' can be 'cured.' What you need is an exorcism."

I stare at the bottle inquisitively. "What is it? "I have some experience as an alchemist, perhaps I should have a sniff."

I excitedly snap up the gold and return with 4 potions for Benji. Returning to the hall, I hand Benji his items. "What's with the robes? Are you becoming soft? The ways of the beast no longer your thing?"

Heading into the marketplace, I head over to Portia's and quickly select the following: 4x smelling salt 3x nostrum 1x grand potion 2x potion 4x elixir 3x grand tonic 3x stun bomb 3x sleep bomb 1x Robe of Archmagi I then remove the Opal and Aquamarine from Benji's Nordic Stomach Guard and the Emerald from the Brown Dragon Girdle for a total of 100+105+10+10+160+90+90+90+300+150=1110 * 0.75 = 833 944-833=111 profit!

I had to take a sampling of him myself.

Seeing Benji's sign, I stroll over. "How have you been of late?" I query disinterestedly, examining the wares for sale. "A major clear out, I see. Troubled with your life, perchance? If you happen to be in need of items to replace these that you're selling, I can fetch you a good deal...85% off the marketplace value." "Why is it that everyone feels compelled to bring their pets into the hall these days. Can't animals stay outside? Next thing we're going to have that little progg back in here again after it took so long for me to get rid of him."

Hey maybe we should have a build swap thing going on for people who have similar reputations but very different builds. That way you get a chance to test out classes that you don't otherwise have a build for.

It has to be one of the best quests! I liked the ending and didn't realize at all who the monster was. The party was absolutely superb and the QMing was topnotch. I've always liked Hoke, Althior is quickly becoming one of my favourite PCs, especially after the events of 100, and Benji is getting better and better. I still have a hard time understanding what exactly he's thinking and how strong his loyalties to anyone apart from himself are, but that's great.

I play my Woodrose (Plant 7) before playing my Sylph (Plant 6) and then ending with the Electriphant (Electric 6)

Yep, but 3 HP won't account for much when you're at Level 50.

Oh no! Bobby is paired with the Lector!

I play my Sandman (Ethereal 4) before pulling out my own rock card, the Mud Frog (Rock 2).

For some reason I thought I recall him dying. Maybe I need to read it again. Awesome quest!

I support Ginger all the way!!!

"Sure, if you're giving them away for free!" I snigger.

Very much agree.

"Do you want my Dryad (Plant 6)?"

I'm freakin' out!!! I paid 75 gold pieces and up until now I haven't gotten any cards!!! The whole tournament is a farce. Ye be warned!

Not that we should change everything now, but wouldn't it have been a better idea if everyone's hands were kept secret between only a few "hosts"? But really, I'm only part-way joking.

It is.

I'm using strategy! My strategy is to play my cards randomly. Who can beat that!
