Grimwald gets his bearings, unleashing several succesful spells with minimal failure. Arthur, in the meantime, lashes out. He first lobs his trident at one of the mechanical hands, but then switches to the far more powerful Zoot's Rebel. His arm twists and morphs as he draws out the choatic weapon, eventually sending the broomstick flying at one of the Dauntlets with a black tentacle instead of an arm. The Minoid finds himself marked for death, both Claw Dauntlets lining up to crush him. Erdathcath unleashes a series of shots at one of the Sword Dauntlets, but can't kill it completely. Knowing its death was inevitable, the Sword Dauntlet self destructs, the normally ravaging blast softened by Arthur's phalanx. "Fall!"

Fields of Gory: From Brickdoctor, a pun I made in the Heroica subforum. It's what happens when the Fields of Glory get a lot more violent.

"I got Kettle Helm. Everyone else but Erik, go for Burgonet." Nuitan, Sorsha, and Syrio all attack Burgonet, from the back row. I attack Kettle Helm from the back, twice. Battle Order: Nuitan Sorsha Karie Syrio Sorrow Erik "I hope you know that isn't true."

We've advanced sufficiently enough, however... I don't think it'd be that out of place, if we have automatons with exploisve dispensing arms and acurate analysis.

After 99 concludes. And it's the finale.

I can always drop them again.

"Good idea, Erik. Nuitan, Sorsha, and preferably Karie... draw Burgenet out of cover, from the back row. Syrio, you can for Kettle Helm, from the back row. I'll attack Bascinet twice from the back row, with my bow. Battle Order: >Nuitan >Sorsha >Karie >Sorrow >Syrio >Erik "This sound good to all of you?"

The Dauntlets all give Erdathcath an icy glare. These machines didn't seem to have nearly as much personality as the Oculoids... if you could call what they have "personality." "Sociopathic, abusive tendencies" would be more apt.

The sudden appearance of the swarm of hands disorients Grimwald, the gnome only capable of Blinding omne Dauntlet before he becomes weary. Arthur. Erdathcath, and the Minoid start trading blows with the Dauntlets. Each hero swiftly avoids the opposition's counterattack, each getting in at least one potent attack in. Arthur is the exception, but of the good kind. He puts up his shield, safeguarding the entire party with a sturdy phalanx. A good thing, too, as two Dauntlets were now on the defensive themselves...

For your delectation, Masson's motive speech... Gizoogled.

...Pyrovisionary, thank you. Thank you so very very much.

When dealing with The Regret, accept no impersonators.

Partially, I suppose. Masson fights more like a Samurai, but I digress. The dinosaur part is the important part in that sentence.

Some clarifaction on a few things: 1. Shouldn't Bascinet have taken damage last round? 2. Why didn't Kettle Helm take damage this round?

Wait, what?

QM Note: You wrote the stats up, not me. Also, Phoenix Essence fixed.

I'm not gonna vanish, so don't think you can make every Syndicate member a dinosaur ninja or something.

Unfortunately, but next quest (which may be my last) is reserved for heroes level 15+. You may want to start grinding fast.

Best give Lego Spy that potion back, Kintobor:

What do you think is underneath her hair?

To be perfectly honest, I've already double taked at 101 twice - once because of the lovely banner, a second time because bam, taurian.

The voice drones on after the pathetically small window of time to answer had passed. "CORRECT ANSWER: Daranza INPUTTED ANSWER: No answer recieved. INTRUDER! INTRUDER! INDTRUDER!" The tiles in the room bgin to shake and rumble, the floor seperating into partitions and spreading out. Before long, 6 mechanical apparitions slither out from underground spreading out their horrid claws. Two even draw massive swords, the security system humming to life...
