Endgame

"I didn't heal myself. What you've seen isn't restoration - it's a last ditch effort. Essentially, even if I were to best you here and now, you've already ruptured my heart - if I were to beat you, I'd collapse and die a little while later. I'm a dead man walking. It seems like the torture device The Regret installed inside my heart - the electroshock one - is malfunctioning... It is keeps my heart beating and throbbing due to electrical surges, despite it currently being cleaved in half. This whole "electrocuted limbs" thing, too? Unintentional, not to mention agonizing. Please, heroes, end this..." QM Note: I'll run the next round in about an hour!

I continue to panic. "So... You're telling me if we don't dispose of the menace behind this fast enough, this school will get eaten by interdimensional dinosaurs?! And the school is clay and brick! Inorganic! Don't tell me it'll be going after us soon..."

Why is nobody in Q100 asking for Adamantium? It'd be something like, 5,000 gold, but still.

"And second all... Bohring, how in the world did you know what this is?!" Suggested Party Split Door 1: Sorrow Karie Hugin Door 2: Heckz Syrio Sorsha Door 3: Drucilla Noel Amorith Door 4: Hynessamine Thalion Carrot Erik

QM Note: It does - as long as the electrocuted part is unhit, an EMP will be unleashed. However, down all the appendages, and he cannot do a thing - not even EMP, because it requires having an activated body part.

"Karie, could you lend Carrot Doppelganger, and Erik, could you lend Hugin your Twin Axe?" And then the brown monstrosity crashes through the building, disassmebling it brick by brick. "The hell?! Why is that... where did that... What? I'm too old for this... We... We're gonna have to have to split up fast, thanks to that... thing. Is our routes to the doors now cut off?"

Hey, that wouldn't be too bad! I've always wanted to ride crazy dinosaurs into the fourth dimension.

QM Note: I realize that you are getting bored (and I will speak more in dpeth on my thoughts about... everything in the QM Lounge when this is done), so I will try my best to run as many rounds as possible daily. No more than 10 days left of this quest. Round Six of the Final Battle! >Minoid retrieves the Unlucky Horseshoe >Arthur VS Monolith (back): Speical Damage Critical Hit (3x2=6+31=37 damage) >Grimwald blinds the Left Hand (back): Success! >Grimwald blinds the Right Hand (back): Success! >Arthur VS Mortar Cannon (back): Hit Critical Hit (8x2=16+31=47 damage) >Erdathcath VS Right Hand (back): Spoecial Damage Aim (21 damage) >Erdathcath heals Arthur (back): No heal Shield: Roots of Life! (21+15=36 HP healed to the entire party!) >Left Hand VS Minoid: Does nothing >Right Hand VS Arthur: Does nothing >Right Hand electrocuted! The party has a rather good round. Arthur staves off Monolith's devestating attacks, while Grimwald begins to incapicitate the hands. Erdathcath heals everyone with a roots of life - now, the party was back on their feet, and had an oppurtunity to dish out some serious damage. "Interesting. Keep it up! It's a damn shame this is the only way I can prepare you for the trials ahead..." "You're doing well."

I don't suppose the Void Eater fires Homing Shots, does he? (Sonic Generations reference)

That's actually kind of unsettling - I only played a bit of the app, and it was clear that Tremor actually had a career and an outside life besides being a villain. If he is just some monster/artificial human, well...

The exact wording from the faq list is that the free hit "Goes to the first hero, than the second." Arthur is one hero, therefore preventing him from eating two consecutive free hits. If there is a hero between the two actions, however, that would make Arthur the first and third hero, allowing him to take a free hit.

QM Note: I'm assuming you mean a situation in which there is three free hits, and it looks something like... >Arthur >Minoid >Arthur In which case, yes, you would have two free hits combined into 1, because there is another hero in the middle. I will read through the FAQ topic again for the sake of correctness, but I am fairly sure that is how it works. And I have to disagree. You do not have to hit a stalactite every turn. There is four offensive targets, three of which grimwald can take a hit from and still survive. (This is assuming they are not Electrocuted.) You have six actions - seven, counting Grimwald's scroll action - and every dangeorus enemy but the head can be Blinded, thus eliminating free hits for a decent amount of time. You have a lucky druid, a Phoenix Essence that can be used by the Minoid at any time, and the potential to deal huge amounts of damage to the heart in one fell swoop. You have plenty of options - I have four battle orders in mind right now that would all help you greatly. If you're feeling too spread thin by one strategy, try another.

Either way, Erdathcath managed to block getting spiked.

QM Note: I've always interpreted the rules as going hero by hero through the battle order, not action through action. Sure enough, Erdathcath's special guard kicked in!

Round Five of the Final Battle! >Arthur retrieves throwing weapons (back) >Arthur VS Monolith (back): Hit Critical Hit (11x2=22+31=53 damage) >Minoid VS Mortar Cannon (back): Critical Hit (6x2=12+20=32x2=64 damage) >Grimwald casts blindness on Left Hand (back): Failure! >Grimwald VS Needle Cavern Roof (back): Critical Hit (8x2=16+15=31x2=62 damage) >Erdathcath VS Needle Cavern Roof (back): Special Damage Hit (15+21=36x2=72 damage) >Erdathcath VS Needle Cavern Roof (back): Special Damage Special Damage (Spike Drop - special guarded) >Left Hand VS Arthur: Does nothing >Right Hand VS Minoid: 44/2=22-2=20 damage, Minoid Fragile! >Monolith's Head electrocuted! The battle conitnues. Arthur manages to repel Monolith's electric onsalught, the cavern roof falling around them rapidly. Both Monolith and Erdathcath find themselves imapled, the druid obviously recieving the smaller spike of the two. However, the Druid swiftly rolls out of the way of the plummeting rock, avoiding harm. "Hmmm..."

"To the students lounge. We can determine who goes where when we see how tough Hugin is."

QM Note: I'll wait until someone else confrims an action before I roll the round.

Any weapon that self retrieves would be an interesting mechanic. If the Bookmark from 99 became an actual usable weapon, I'd like to think that would be its ability - it just inches back to its owner after being tossed.

Last I checked, the Regulator wasn't banned from MLG tournament play.

"When I confronted you on the bridge back in the mines, I was deprived completely of any free will - moreso than now. There is a reason for that. I delibrately caused collapses instead of outright murder whenever my programming would allow. I tried to preserve as many human lives as I could... Without my resistance, you would've found corpses, not prisoners. I saved their lives, and in return, from when you saw me on the bridge from when you arrived here, I was a mindless slave. It seems The Regret has loosened his grip, all so I could realize the atrocity I am committing. Another act of sadism. I had also scattered The Regret's journal as well, so you could perhaps familiarize yourself with your foe. Preserving human life, scattering the journals, destroying the bridge, and now, combat...
