Althior repeats his action.

Althior sends a Wind spell at Battle Ant B from the back row.

Althior uses Wind On Battle Ant A from the back row.

Booze Buddies! I don't understand why, she was the one who caused the whole break up thing...

Dear Father Grogmas: Please give Alexis a Chastity Belt (Suitable for Alexis, grants enamored effect against PC's: Accessory). For obvious reasons. Besides, I may get some peace and quiet for once! Also give Arthur some Common Sense. Honestly, of all people, Alexis?

"WHO?"

Well said. In the Goblin Wars Story line, they had Harry Osborn come out of his coma (I think it was Harry, it may have been Norman, butt I thought he was in hiding). They didn't play on that at all for the rest of the series, when it would have been so much better if they could have made him spidey. Marvel's done something like that before (Bucky replacing Steve Rodgers as Captain America) and that worked out fine. I honestly have no idea how Marvel thinks this is going to last. On a better note, I read Justice League #15 and Aquaman #15 for Throne of Atlantis this week and must say it is off to such a great start! One of the thing I like most about it is not two different writers going at it, but being able to have Geoff Johns do it is wonderful. Definitely looking forward to the next part.

I've been playing for about 20 minutes a week for the past 3 or 4 months, so I'm lost like you. I've got a Level 20 Archer with some okay equips at the moment. There's also a new price guide I saw that has Speed being 0.33:1 with def. I'll see if I can find it. EDIT: I was wrong about the Spd, but now Ammy's are soulbound! LINK

"You wouldn't be interested in finding me a she-aura, would you?"

GM Note: When did that happen? I know we made that rule about one battle at a time, but I don't remember this at all. Results of Round 5 of Docken vs. Thormnail Docken vs. Thormnail: Aim (25 damage -3 SP= 22 Damage dealt: 18-22=0) Docken, you take to to aim your shot witch then deals 22 damage to Thormnail (which makes no sense logically, time to change that. ) which KO's him. Docken is Victorious! Both heroes are restored to full health, but consumables are not replaced.

GM Note: Fixed.

Althior sat at his desk in his unfamiliar room that night, staring at his funds and payments. Finnegan floated in right behind him, right into the silence. He admired the mantelpiece a bit before he began to talk. "So...are you going to talk about it or not?" "...not." he didn't bring his eyes up from his work. "You have to face the facts sooner or later..." "What facts?" "That your apprentice just ninja'd your ex-girlfriend." "What are you even talking about? I saw nothing" "Althior..." "Finnegan! Keep Grogmas in your own way, and let me keep it in mine." "Keep it! But you don't keep it...wait, what? When did we start quoting A Christmas Carol? " "Let me leave it alone, then. Much good may it do you. Much good has it ever done you." "Uh, we're not talking about Grogmas, here..." "You're quite a powerful speaker, sir. I wonder you don't go into Parliament." "Don't be angry, Althior! Come! Dine with us tomorrow!" Althior shakes his head "no". "But why? I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can we not be friends?" "Why are you so obsessed with the idea of she-auras?" "Because I want to fall in love." "Love! That is the one thing in the world more ridiculous than a Merry Grogmas. Good afternoon!" "But Althior--" "Good Afternoon!" "I am sorry, with all my aura heart, to find you so resolute. We have never had any true quarrel. But I have made the trial in homage to Yuletide, and I'll keep my Yuletide humor to the last. So a Merry Grogmas, Althior!" "Good afternoon." "And a Happy New Year!" "GOOD AFTERNOON!" He threw his ink quill at Finnegan, "And don't come back in three more times dressed as three different ghosts! I'll know it's you!" Althior thought on his current situation. Arthur had "ninja'd" Alexis, and he was in a state of denial. Maybe he ought to do something about it. OOC: MERRY CHRISTMAS! Also, Dialogue written by Flipz.

GM Note: Wait, if he rolls damage or Special Damage, doesn't nothing happen since you're stunned?

GM Note: Sorry, I haven't done this in a while. I don't think I used the new arena rules. I just used the ones from the first post. (Maybe I replaced them in the first post, I forget). I fixed it now. I'll also send a PM about the gold steal now.

Althior crosses out Finnegan's name and writes his own in it's place, confirming his place.

"Please don't tell me you thought I was Finnegan..." "How could he? I'm so much more handsome!"

Althior accepts the Grand Tonic. "Nah, I should save some of my gold for later."

"I'd be willing to take that Tonic from you, too. Never can have too many of those,"

"Well, after the whole limbo of Eubric, it was hard to find my text color again." "Yeah, and that's the last quest he actually succeeded in..." "Why'd that horse have to get nerfed..."

"Please, when we were at Bric'Bay, we were forced to create siege engines to fight back elves. You know nothing about torture..." "What exactly did you do again?" "Absolutely nothing!"

Althior walked back in the hall, tired and dragging his feet. He saw an apparent lack of Alexis, which was good. No awkwardness whatsoever, where's the bad in that? No Gibbin or Arthur or Haldor, nobody. Just a few wandering heroes and those he returned from the fields with. For once the hall seemed peaceful. Much more peaceful than it had ever been in the past year. More than anything it had been. It had already been a year since he stepped onto the infamous lands of Bric' Bay. He had forgotten all about that journey. It was the first time he felt real power. He had destroyed much of the final waves troops, and killed two of those three leaders. He was not proud of his past, any of it. As these thoughts continued to go through his mind, Althior grabbed a glass of red wine from the bar and sat by some heroes speaking of another way into the fields. He took a swig of the wine before sitting down. "If you guys are going to the fields, I want in. As Docken and I saw, you'll need at least one pretty good healer if you want to make it out with all of your limbs."

Althior looks over the loot, and none of it catches his eye. A pity, really. Althior slings his sack over his shoulder and starts on the long journey home.
