Endgame

It means the QM's hand slipped when going for the "M" key.

QM Note: The True Final Boss music (for this phase, at any rate) is brought you by this round's banner. Give it a click! >Alex VS The Regret (back): Special Damage Damage (42/2=21-13=8 damage) (42/2=21-13=8 damage) >Galen VS Romulus (back): Shield Shield: Mug (10x3=30+17=47x2=94-5=89 damage, 89 gold earned) >Hal VS Dead Hand F (back): Hit (10+18=28/2=14-3=11 damage) >Galen VS Romulus (back): Damage Damage (25/2=13-1=12 damage, Gushing Blood transmitted) >Elgar VS Daxus (back): Hit Critical Hit (11x22+21=43 damage) >Sylph heals Johon (back): Heal Less Heal Less (21 HP healed) >Johon VS Dread Hand B (back): Damage (25/2=13-5=8 damage) >Sylph heals Daxus (back): No heal Greater Heal (9x2=18+21=39 HP healed) >Punii makees jellies: No jellies made! >The Regret VS Johon: (8/2=4 damage) >The Regret spawns a hand: Dead Hand >Antagonistic Applause: Hal and Galen enraged! The frigid fraughts seem to increase in intensity, the heroes' vision blanketed by a speedy veil of white snow. Alex swings at The regret, but it is half-hearted - his soul felt like it was on fire, his very being feeling unhinged and weary. He misses, allwoing The Regret to follow up with not one, but two blasts of ether. The paladain rears back, his hand clutching the spot where The Regret reached in... Hal hits the remaining Dead hand with a dwonward slash, but it proves fairly weak. Galen lobs his wrench twice at Romulus, but the lycanthrope ducks down into the snow and dodges both attacks. With a howl he rushes Galen, plunging his cleaver into the Rogue's arm. Elgar lobs a ball of ice at Daxus, the fallen hero reeling backwards with a horrible maon as they orb of magic collides into him. Sylph heals Johon, only for the raider to get punched in the gut by a particularly irritable Dread Hand. Sylph causes pale tendrils to rise from the snow and wrap around Daxus, purging the unlife out of him. Punii, his entire body shivering in the deep freeze, is unable to make any jellies. The air distorts around The regret as he vanishes into thin air... only for him to warp right behind Johon, slamming the hilt of his blade into his neck. The Regret warps back to his normal expression, still unfazed by the collosal battle erupting around him. He wasn't even fighting yet. The battle rages on! "Do you still have hope? For any of your verminous kind?" The Regret, Level 42 Ancient *Crumbling!* HP: 370/700 SP: 3 Ether: Infinite Specials: Appease The Horde: Attacks the hero who rolled Special Damage for 42 damage.

Responses in bold blue because segmenting all these quotes would be incredibly time consuming. It looks like my pings were not unfounded. You seem to be purposefully blissfully unaware in some parts, but seem to have a bit too much information in others. Combined with pings I've been getting previously, as well as your iffy and indecisive behavior: Vote: Li'l Chromeknight (Chromeknight)

I down a Mead, Nostrum, and Smelling Salts. "The frog is ours. Care to try and pry it away from us?"

"Prey implies you're still alive. Your fate has been decided, and your death warrant written... the march of time simply hasn't caught up to you quite yet. Even if you best me at this phase, what do you think it'll do? Truly? My soul is already strewn across the planes of both the mortal and the dead, torn to shreds at Prometehus's hands. To make it absolutely clear: I am immortal, heroes. Unkillable. I'm an undying shadow, lost in a world so full of lights; I have been since that fateful day milleniums ago, and always will be. My fate was written that day, and its word is final. Why do you fight on, when you know the outcome? Even if I do fall here, what do you think will stop me from just getting right back up and fighting you again? No matter what, this battle will never end in my demise. This folly can only end in your deaths, heroes - there is no need to prolong this foolishness!"

QM Note: In that case, it would go away. The Regret merely cackles, a frightening chuckle that echoes around the snow-covered island. He shakes his head, as if dissapointed in the druid. "Ahh, I'm just so... underwhelmed. Dissapointed, really. You killed Rhodus, Aquos, and Eidolon... Cardic, Vanguard, Bellum... one by one, they fell at your hands. And yet, I am left so unfulfilled. You have yet to even lay a finger on me! I heard the rumors of the 7 - later, 8 - fighters simply tearing through or ranks, leaving a trail fo blood in their wake. And yet, I am faced with you sad lot. Patheitc, mewling creatures who can't hold their own in a fight." The Regret gestures towards a snarling Romulus, the hero more beast then human. "Even one of your own was so easily led astray. His despair led him to this terrible little fate... but mine only served to make me stronger. Stronger then I could ever dream... You think this is the extent of my power, you fools? Hah! The darkness can only run deeper - much deeper!"

"Oh, and you didn't try? You seemed so eager to waste your breath, trying to insult me. Needless to say, you failed. Miserably." QM Note: It'll last until The Regret is taken down.

Eager to do as well as they did last round, the party rushes the shrinking mob of undead. Knowing that the beast would soon increase his defense, they foucs more of their effort on the twisted Progg. As the party mows down some hands Alex, Galen, and Johon all circle the villain. Alex and Galen both get succesful hits, The Regret unable top parry two attacks at once. He takes the damage in stride, seemingly unaffected by the abuse he was taking. With a sinister cackle he approaches Johon. The raider, exhausted from his ravages earlier, can only jab at the Progg. The Regret quickly evades backwards and pins Johon's sword down with his own. With one hand free, The Regret takes a massive slash at the Raider. Blood spurts from Johon as he is thrown into the air, flung backwards by the sheer force of the attack. He stumbles upwards, the world practically spinning as he staggers up to his feet. The sorceror Progg twirls his blades, ready to strike Johon again... "I'm sorry, Druid, did I pinch a nerve?"

This is the True Final Battle. (Phase one, of course!) Eve is dead, Punii is just a baby and not a supreme commander, and the Mythrogg... well, we'll just have to wait and see. This is the last battle though - I love this quest and you guys, but it has got to end at one point.

Argh, you lucky little 48ers... Since I no longer have to worry about keeping another final boss waiting in the wings, I can give an ETA! I expect 48 to last 2, maybe 3, more weeks. I have a long weekend ahead of me, so we should be able to blitz through phase 1 of The Regret battle.

"A healer who willingly spearheads a genocide. Intriguing."

The party stares down the eldritch creature before him - The Regret had seen and caused a thousand hells, and we cause a thousnad more if allowed out of here. The party has a fantastic round, not a single scratch inflicted upon the party. Johon releases the bottled up barbaric fury he had held inside of him for the entire quest. Johon lets out a war cry and arves up his enemies, hitting them all not once, but twice. The regret seems to feel no pain from the wound sinflcited upon him... did he simply have high pain resistance, or...? "A wonderful effort, but I fear it won't be enough!" The Regret, Level 42 Ancient *Crumbling!* HP: 485/700 SP: 5 Ether: Infinite Specials: Appease The Horde: Attacks the hero who rolled Special Damage for 42 damage.

Okay, to break some of the silence and to provide some food for thought: I've been in contact with Chromeknihgt. or, rather, he contacted me. To interject here, I'm a QM in the Heroica RPG - and Danny is one of my players. We have a running gag of me trying to be a sadist via enemy encounters, and then him making them moot through his strategy. And, yes, I didn't see Chrome's sign-up: I saw his avatar before I looked at the friend, and looked at his profile from reflex. Because I'm worthy of trust. I was poking you to get a reaction so I'd have something to get a sense of if you are scum or not. You seem to have taken it all in stride and not got defensive, which is a good sign. And that is where the convo ends. I was getting pings throughout, but maybe that is just because I'm paranoid. I know probing isn't necessarily a capital offense, but I started getting iffy around the part where Li'l Chrome was checking if I was the vig and said he was trustworthy "because he was trustworthy." I didn't unveil my suspicions in the PM, and not here because I figured I was just being overly paranoid throughout the entire set-up, but... Now, I'm not quite sure.

What do you mean it wouldn't be funny? Shoot, I even place my Boss Monsters first on the list - and Eidolon was a possibility at this juncture! Quest 60 was a different kind of flavor of quest from you, Capt. I can't put my finger it... The Noir feel was evident, but it felt like a departure from your previous quests. That said, though, it was also an excellent departure. You did a good job balancing the enemies for such a varied group, and the lesson at the end was very well written.

"Not particularly, Druid. I must admit... when I think "heroes", I think a gallant group of men and women fighting for a greater cause. Not a verminous band of sellswords hellbent on propagating the disease I've been trying to snuff out for quite some time. You're just a band of broken souls, fighting for what you think is "right". Nothing more. You may not recognize the hands of the dead, heroes, but they most certainly remember you." Round Four Of The True Final Battle! >Alex VS The Regret (back): Damage Critical Hit (10x2=20+20=40/2=20 damage) >Sylph heals Johon (back): Heal less Greater Heal (9x2=18+21=39 HP healed) >Sylph heals Daxus (back): Heal Greater Heal (39 HP healed) >Galen VS Dead Hand E (back): Hit Hit (10+17=27x2=54-3=51 damage) >Hal VS Dead Hand D (back): Critical Hit (10x3=30+19=49-3=46 damage) >Galen VS Vengeful Hand A (back): Hit Shield: Mug (10x3=30+17=47x2=94-5=89 damage, 89 gold earned) >Johon VS Vengeful Hand A (front): Special Damage Hit (8+21=29x2=58-5=53 damage) >Johon VS Romulus (front): Steal Hit (8+21=29x2=58-5=53 damage) >Elgar VS Dread Hand A (front): Damage Damage (25-5=20 damage) >Punii makes jellies: No jellies made! >The Regret spawns a hand: Vengeful Hand >Antagonistic applause: Elgar and Johon enraged! The battle in the snowy wastleand rages on, this round proving to be more positive then the previous one. The party has a streak of good fortune, succesfully hitting all of their foes. Several hand go down in the fray, and the rest of the enemies recieve some damage. The party's luck continue until Elgar, frustrated about the undead mob's arrogance, goes to the front row. The Dread hand spots the oppurtunity and siezes it, suddenly jabbing outwards out of the snow and delivering a harsh haymaker to Elgar. The Evoker stumbles back and collapses into the snow as a Vengeful hand emerges from the icy depths... "I grow tired of this folly."

...Aw, crap. Zepher, most of what needs to said has been said: That was an amazing quest. Some variation to the spires would be great (perhaps make some puzzles/puzzle battles?), but the story-telling in the quest was superb. I believe making Wren female was probably the best bit of improvisation in the entire saga - it allowed a flighty personality that really made the Dark Lady a lovable, yet hate-able, villain. Wren probably is the best villain Heroica has had to offer, and it is indeed a bit bittersweet to see her go. Maybe it is just because you and I are both QM sadists, but I didn't see the issues others had with your fights. The only question I have for you is: why lock them in so rigidly? I'm very curious to see what each of the spires did exactly, if you're willing to share. Once again, excellent quest, Zepher. :thumbup:

Argh. Looks like we used up all of our luck one Night One. I'd agree that the best place to start is the lynch candidates from yesterday - most of the attention got diverted away from them as soon as we began focusing on Palathadric. On the subject of Mayor... I'm perfectly fine with Zepher being Mayor, but I'm weary that whoever we elevate to that status is going to be dead by tonight.

This round is a bittersweet one. Alex rushes The Regret, but the beast cordially sidesteps out of the Paladin's range. he thrusts his claw forward, a torrent of air coming from it - sneding Alex reeling into the stone ridge surrounding the battlefield. The party mows down 2 hands, slowly decreasing their population. Romulus's mind has almost given in completely, content with acting under The Regret's thrall. He draws Johon's blood, leaving a deep gash with his steel cleaver. "Just a little dab of wind magic. Eventually, you are able to master the elements without gems... though I suppose you humans lack the cognition needed to do so."

QM Note: I thought for sure I rolled for him. Maybe either my memory or my copypasting skills are wonky. Looks like there are still a few snafus to iron out in your course of action, so I'll wait until this afternoon to run this one. Also, DLL, you are right - Romulus is now a Beast Humanoid. Enjoy your double ice damage, you crafty druid.

The battle rages on. Galen and Sylph stomp to the front row, practically fuming - but lady luck seems to give them a helping hand for most of the round. They repel back the growing horde of undead, Johon even slamming his blade into his every opponent in a barbaric ravage. Unfortunately Sylph, unaccustomed to being on the front lines, lets his guard down. The dead hand of a particularly crafty Progg hides in the snow and springs up, grabbing the druid by the neck and dragging him into the snow. As Sylph gets smothere din the snow's icy embrace, Punii pipes up: "H-hey, listen!If we *wheeze* take The Regret down, his aura will be *cough* gone - it'll stop the hands, too! Maybe we should try doing a bit more damage to him?" "Heh. Was the journey worth it, heroes? You struggled and toiled against all odds... only to pave the road to your demise."

Sylph starts off by uncorking a Nostrum and handing it to Galen, knowing the rogue was devestating with that brew in his system. Alex, murde in his eyes after what The Regret did to his soul, callously approahces the ancient Progg. In a storke of luck he manages to parry a strike from The Regret and counterattack back, the blow not doing much. However, some venom seeps into the gash he leaves behind... In a cruel twist of irony, Johon and Romulus, the two heroes who bickered most during this genocide, go face-to-face. This time, though, it was not Romulus's will. Johon, with more epxerience ender his belt, amnages to duck under Romulus's flailing cleaver and strike back with his sword of decay. Galen flings his wrench at one of the putrid Dead Hands, the claw withering a bit after the hit. Elgar lobs a ball of frigid ice at the Vengeful Hand, his spells' potency increased by the freezing environment around them. Hal swings down his Halberd on another Dead Hand, but the undead being quickly hifts to the left to evade. Johon goes against the Dread Hand. The gauntlet grabs Johon's sword and pulls the Raider to the ground, where it delivers a harsh jab to the windpipe. Johon scurries up to get out of the hand's range. The Regret summons another hand, and the entire mob of enemies slowly appauds the heroes. Its intent was obvious: The Regret was simply taking time out of the battle to mock the party. An uncharacteristic rage fills Galen and Sylph, and they rush to the front row to confront their enemies... "Can't take a little applause, I see..."

I'm still curious about your fixation on me - you even mention others who you finds similar to me, yet continue to go after me. You seem very sporadic, vote for a hypocritical reason, and now being a bit passive aggressive. You seemed to have brewed more confusion then discussion... and the discussion that did occur due to you has led to several people voting for you.

Vote: Li'l Palathadric (Palathadric) This is not for voting for me specifically - it is your behavior and the reason behind the actual vote itself. Your entire behavior seems iffy and indecisive, and you seem quick to accuse and vote for people who are guilty as the same behavior as you. Your entire demeanor is just causing my scumdar to go off - thus, my vote.

All the good loot comes later in the fight! Just wrap up the easy part now and we can talk loot later.

True final battle, and it is only phase one. Come at me, bro.
