Endgame

"You tempt me, Mr. Boomingham. Pay me back when this is over." I rustle through my pouch for 390 gold, placing it on the counter. I pick up the vial of Golden Venom, 10 Jinxy Juices, and a Sapphire. I toss the Sapphire to Boomingham and keep everything else for myself. While I'm at it, I uncork and swallow a Mead and Nostrum, and take a whiff of some Smelling Salts.

Mayor is essentially a power role we get to distribute; therefore, no matter how unlikely the chane of a tie there is, the mayor should always be scrutinized heavily. What I would find interesting is if the Mayor doesn't end up dying. Since Mayor is literally a revealed power role, assuming it isn't their own, chances are that the Mayor will be killed.

Flipz, I see your offering and raise you my favorite soundtrack from my favorite game: Far more fitting for the character and battle in a whole, in my mind. And perhaps this while she is on the ropes:

Will Arthur have to go... Deeper?

Round Nineteen of the Final Battle! >Sylph heals himself (back): Greater Heal (x2=18+21=39 HP healed) >Sylph heals Romulus (back): Heal (9+21=30 HP healed) >Alex heals himself (back): Heal (10+19=29 HP healed) >Elgar blinds tail (back): Failure! >Galen VS Eidolon's Tail (back): Miss Critical Hit (10x2=20+17=37x2=74-12=62 damage) >Johon VS Wing L (back): Damage Critical Hit (8x3=24+22=46/2=23-10=13 damage) >Johon VS Eidolon (back): Special Damage Special Damage (EMP: Johon's positive effects nullified, 24 damage to entire party) -Sylph: Safe! -Johon: Safe! -Elgar: Confused! -Alex: Safe! -Romulus: Safe! -Galen: Safe! -Hal: Safe! >Punii makes jellies: Blue jelly made! >Galen VS Wing R (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (10x2=20+17=37x2=74-10=64 damage) >Hal VS Gauntlet L (back): Damage (27/2=14-3=11 damage) >Romulus VS Gauntlet L (back): Critical Hit (15x2=30+14=44/2=22-6=16 damage) >Eidolon shouts down an order: Reinforcements! This battle with Eidolon has proven to be the most taxing yet. Sylph expends the last of ether with his healing feats at the round's beginning, undoingthe wounds left the previous round. Johon stands Eidolon, and swings the Sword of Decay at him. The Emperor lurches backwards out of the sword's range, and with inhuman roar lets out a EMP. The static frays the entire party, the white noie causing them all to lurch back. Elgar stumbles around, boggled by the sudden burst of static. The party wasn't faring well, and Eidolon was revelling in his current advantage. The storm seemed to pick up along with the gigantic Progg's sadistic joy. "Hah hah... You were warned so many times heroes, but you chose to ignore every single one! Give up already!" Emperor Eidolon, Level 39 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* *Crumbling!* HP: 1389/1850 SP: 8 11 Ether: 20/70 Specials: Emperor's Wrath: Attacks the hero who rolled Special Damage for damage equal to the combined level of every single hero on the field. This massive hit discourages the rest of the party, each hero having a 1/6 chance of becoming Jinxed. (Can be remedied or removed for 5 ether each.) EMP: At the cost of 10 ether Eidolon sends out a burst of static, nullifying the hero who rolled special damage's postive effects and dealing 24 damage to all heroes in the row of the hero who triggered the special, that hero included. All heroes have a 1/6 chances of becoming Confused from the white noise. (Can be remedied or removed for 5 ether each.) Charge Up: Eidolon builds up electric energy. At the end of the next round he releases it in a devestating bolt of energy, dealing 29 damage to the entire party and spending 20 ether. Specials decided by die roll. If there isn't enough ether for Eidolon and all of his appendages to perform a special, nothing happens. Immune to all scroll effects! Passive Specials: Hanging On A Thread: Eidolon cannot be vanquished until all of his other appendages have been destoryed. Until then, he has a minimum of 1 HP. You Don't Amuse Me: Eidolon means business, and is more than eager to annihlate you. Eidolon's free hits cannot be prevented by healing. War Tactics: At the end of odd number rounds, Eidolon will shout an order to the legion of Proggs below. A die will be rolled to decide which command he will shout down: -6: Arrow Storm: The archers fire off a blitz of arrows, doing 19 damage to the entire party. -5: Bombs Away: The bombers fling sharpnel bombs at the heroes, doing 12 damage to the entire party - disregarding SP! -4: Hail To The King: The Progg Mages cast a spell over the party - all heroes have a 1/6 chance of becoming Hexed for the next round. (Can be remedied or removed with 7 ether.) -3: Medic! The Progg Mages heal their emperor, resotring 120 HP to himself and all of his appendages. -2: Reinforcements: Eidolon calls for reinforcements, 2 Aerial Proggs swooping in to their master's aid. -1: Ten Hut: The next time Eidolon shouts out commands, he will get to shout two. (If the same command is rolled twice, it only occurs once.) At the end of even number rounds, the order he shouted previously will be acted upon. Inner Rage: ??? Drops: Phoenix Incense, Nostrum x2, Mead x2, Smelling Salts x2, Topaz, 600 gold Gauntlet L, Level 27 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* HP: 58/650 SP: 6 Specials: Shock Therapy: Grabs the hero in its clutch and electrocutes them, using 5 of Eidolon's ether. The roasted hero takes 32 damage and loses all of their positive effects. Shock Skewer: The hero who triggered the special, and all other heroes in his row, get impaled by one of Eidolon's electrifed Harpoons, at the cost of 10 ether. They all take damage equal to their level +2 (Disregarding SP), and all recieve the Shocked staus effect. (Shocked heroes take 8 damage per round until remedied.) Specials decided by die roll. Immune to Blindness and Sealing! Passive Specials: Catch!: Catches and throws back any of Punii's bombs, the blast doing no damage to Eidolon and 18 damage to the entire party. Block: The Gauntlet's presence boosts Eidolon's SP by 3. Drops: Nothing. Wing L, Level 25 Ancient *Decaying! 3 damage (3 rounds remaining)* HP: 96/725 SP: 10 Specials: Ether Drain: The runes on Eidolon's wings glow... And seem to sap ether away from the party! All ether-users have their current ether total cut in half. Galeforce: Eidolon's wings flap, stirring up a mighty gust that threatens to blow the heroes way! All heroes have a 1/6 chance of having all of their artifacts and shields dequipped. Specials decided by die roll. Immune to Sleep, Blindness, and all Venoms! Drops: Nothing.

Emperor Eidolon's Tail, Level 29 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* *Sealed! 2 rounds remaining* HP: 129/900 SP: 12 Specials: Lightning Rod: The Tail raises itself into the sky to collect lightning. A jolt of lightning courses through Eidolon's body, restoring 30 ether and boosting his and his appendage's levels by 2 for the next 3 rounds. Shockwave: With a slash of his tail, Eidolon produces a shockwave. The hero who tirggered the special and the heroes above and below him in the battle order (skipping Punii) all take 23 damage and are stunned the next round. (Can be remedied or removed for 4 ether.) This attack expends 10 of Eidolon's ether. Jab Cataclysm: In a flurry of light and electricity, Eidolon's Tail jabs every hero for 22 damage. Drops: Nothing.

I chuckle softly beneath my hood. "Worry not, I am an assassin. Finesse is my livelihood - I wouldn't be so clumsy to drop that. I think 200 gold is a tad steep without knowing its exact propertires, so I'm afraid I'm passing on this one." "Cheapskate." Brushing off Syntax like the annyoing gnat he was, I whisper to my party. "I'd be happy to put 50 gold or so towards whatever future-reading this Mandrel is offering..."

Since I am unsure and a bit iffy on why CM wants to repeat history.... Mayor: Li'l Walter Kovacs

I pick up the vial of scorpion venom, swishing the golden mixture in front of my eyeyes. I tried to discern its properties, but it seemed to no avail... "Mandrel, do you have any idea what this venom does?"

That plan would only doom the Mayor to being tempted to the ~dark side~ by the scum recruiteror get shot. I'd say investigating the mayor Night 1 would probably be a good idea. If we wanted our verified mayor to live, we'd have to spend a fair amount of our night actions trying to sustain him from that plan alone.

Round Eighteen of the Final Battle! >Sylph heals Galen (back): Heal (9+21=30 HP healed) >Sylph heals Hal (back): Heal Less (21 HP healed) >Alex heals Elgar (back): Greater Heal (10x2=20+19=39 HP healed) >Elgar seals Eidolon's Tail (back): Success! >Galen VS Eidolon's Tail (back): Damage Hit (10+17=27x2=54-12=48 damage) >Johon VS Wing L (back): Special Damage Hit (8+22=30/2=15-10=5 damage) >Johon VS Eidolon (back): Hit Hit (8+22=30/2=15-13=2 damage) >Punii makes jellies (back): Green jelly made! >Galen VS Wing R (back): Hit Shield: Mug (10x3=30+17=47x2=94-10=84 damage, 84 gold earned.) >Hal VS Gauntlet L (back): Hit (10+19=29x2=58/2=29-6=23 damage) >Romulus VS Gauntlet L (back): Shield: Mug (14x3=42+14=56x2=112/2=52-6=46 damage, 46 gold earned) >Bombs away! The battle rages on. Though disoreitned by the defeaning weather Sylph focuses and manages to heal, Alex following suit. Elgar seals the Emperor's tail, the impaling appendage going rigid from Elgar's magicks. Galen chcuks his wrench at the tail, the Sealed tail still managing to jerk a few inches out of the way. Galen's trusty wrench only grazes Eidolon's tail, another wound added to the collection. Johon takes on both Eidolon and his wing, giving little dmagae and taking none. Eidolon's defense proves tough, but the venom coursing through his veins is weakening it... Galen chucks his wrench at Eidolon's right wing while Romulus and Hal dish out some pain to the fragiled Gauntlet. After recieving a clean hit from Romulus the gauntlet finally shakes off its fraility, slashing at the air. It seems to leave visisble red rends in the air, the claw marks hovering in the sky for a few short moments... The Bombers hand place their bombs on a bucket on a Progg Trojan's tail. With a great yank the operators of the Trojan pull the tail upward, launching the bombs like a catapult. The bombs hit dead smack in the middle of the party, the Proggs' aim impeccable... "You're tenacious, at any rate!" Emperor Eidolon, Level 39 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* *Crumbling!* HP: 1399/1850 SP: 9 12 Ether: 30/70 Specials: Emperor's Wrath: Attacks the hero who rolled Special Damage for damage equal to the combined level of every single hero on the field.

Friday is Sloppy Joe day... With our numbers, I can't imagine a Mayor actually performing his duty this early. At the current juncture, we are basically just elevating someone as a target.

Pfft, amateurs. Kickball is the best thing about recess.

Round Seventeen of the Final Battle! >Sylph heals Johon (back): Heal More (9x2=18+21=39 HP healed) >Sylph heals Galen (back): No heal >Alex heals Galen (back): No heal No heal >Galen VS Gauntlet L (back): Shield Shield: Mug (10x3=30+17=37x2=94-10=84 damage, 84 gold earned) >Johon VS Wing L (back): Hit Critical Hit (8x3=24+22=46/2=23-10=13 damage) >Johon VS Eidolon (back): Steal Hit (8+22=30/2=15-14=1 damage) >Punii makes jellies: Red jelly made! >Galen VS Wing R (back): Damage Miss >Hal VS Gauntlet L (back): Damage (27/2=14-3=11 damage) >Romulus VS Gauntlet L (back): Damage (27/2=14 damage) >Eidolon's Tail: Free hit on Sylph (29/2=15 damage) >Eidolon shouts down an order: Bombs away! The storm rages on, the hurricane building with Eidolon's rage. His focus shattered by the storm, both Sylph and Alex fail to heal anybody. The party continues to weaken Eidolon's limbs, but Johon's attacks to his main body are literally laughable. The Emperor howls laughter along with the storm, lightning striking with every cackle. "Is that really the best you got?!" Emperor Eidolon, Level 39 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* *Crumbling!* HP: 1501/1850 SP: 10 13 Ether: 30/70 Specials: Emperor's Wrath: Attacks the hero who rolled Special Damage for damage equal to the combined level of every single hero on the field. This massive hit discourages the rest of the party, each hero having a 1/6 chance of becoming Jinxed. (Can be remedied or removed for 5 ether each.) EMP: At the cost of 10 ether Eidolon sends out a burst of static, nullifying the hero who rolled special damage's postive effects and dealing 24 damage to all heroes in the row of the hero who triggered the special, that hero included. All heroes have a 1/6 chances of becoming Confused from the white noise. (Can be remedied or removed for 5 ether each.) Charge Up: Eidolon builds up electric energy. At the end of the next round he releases it in a devestating bolt of energy, dealing 29 damage to the entire party and spending 20 ether. Specials decided by die roll. If there isn't enough ether for Eidolon and all of his appendages to perform a special, nothing happens. Immune to all scroll effects! Passive Specials: Hanging On A Thread: Eidolon cannot be vanquished until all of his other appendages have been destoryed. Until then, he has a minimum of 1 HP. You Don't Amuse Me: Eidolon means business, and is more than eager to annihlate you. Eidolon's free hits cannot be prevented by healing. War Tactics: At the end of odd number rounds, Eidolon will shout an order to the legion of Proggs below. A die will be rolled to decide which command he will shout down: -6: Arrow Storm: The archers fire off a blitz of arrows, doing 19 damage to the entire party. -5: Bombs Away: The bombers fling sharpnel bombs at the heroes, doing 12 damage to the entire party - disregarding SP! -4: Hail To The King: The Progg Mages cast a spell over the party - all heroes have a 1/6 chance of becoming Hexed for the next round. (Can be remedied or removed with 7 ether.) -3: Medic! The Progg Mages heal their emperor, resotring 120 HP to himself and all of his appendages. -2: Reinforcements: Eidolon calls for reinforcements, 2 Aerial Proggs swooping in to their master's aid. -1: Ten Hut: The next time Eidolon shouts out commands, he will get to shout two. (If the same command is rolled twice, it only occurs once.) At the end of even number rounds, the order he shouted previously will be acted upon. Inner Rage: ??? Drops: Phoenix Incense, Nostrum x2, Mead x2, Smelling Salts x2, Topaz, 600 gold Gauntlet L, Level 27 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* *Fragile! 1 rounds remaining* HP: 163/650 SP: 6 Specials: Shock Therapy: Grabs the hero in its clutch and electrocutes them, using 5 of Eidolon's ether. The roasted hero takes 32 damage and loses all of their positive effects. Shock Skewer: The hero who triggered the special, and all other heroes in his row, get impaled by one of Eidolon's electrifed Harpoons, at the cost of 10 ether. They all take damage equal to their level +2 (Disregarding SP), and all recieve the Shocked staus effect. (Shocked heroes take 8 damage per round until remedied.) Specials decided by die roll. Immune to Blindness and Sealing! Passive Specials: Catch!: Catches and throws back any of Punii's bombs, the blast doing no damage to Eidolon and 18 damage to the entire party. Block: The Gauntlet's presence boosts Eidolon's SP by 3. Drops: Nothing. Wing L, Level 25 Ancient *Decay! 1 damage (2 rounds remain)* HP: 118/725 SP: 10 Specials: Ether Drain: The runes on Eidolon's wings glow... And seem to sap ether away from the party! All ether-users have their current ether total cut in half. Galeforce: Eidolon's wings flap, stirring up a mighty gust that threatens to blow the heroes way!

Emperor Eidolon's Tail, Level 29 Ancient *Badly Poisoned!* HP: 211/900 SP: 12 Specials: Lightning Rod: The Tail raises itself into the sky to collect lightning. A jolt of lightning courses through Eidolon's body, restoring 30 ether and boosting his and his appendage's levels by 2 for the next 3 rounds. Shockwave: With a slash of his tail, Eidolon produces a shockwave. The hero who tirggered the special and the heroes above and below him in the battle order (skipping Punii) all take 23 damage and are stunned the next round. (Can be remedied or removed for 4 ether.) This attack expends 10 of Eidolon's ether. Jab Cataclysm: In a flurry of light and electricity, Eidolon's Tail jabs every hero for 22 damage. Drops: Nothing.

Endy is back, with a 2nd Place trophy in tow! I'll run a round in a few minutes. Also, it seems my name has gotten tangled in another QM debate... just remember Endy has a knack for making some pretty mean encounters...

QM Note: I'll run a round tonight: today is a very busy day for me!

The child gives a little twirl, apparently oblivious to the state of the mansion around her or the reggedness of the magician in front of her. Things were not adding up in Dini's head. Roni's appearance was unexpected to say the least - not to mention nigh impossible! Even with The Suffering dead, Proggs still milled about the manor. Even without leadership, they would still be competent fighters; how did this young girl get through? She must've walked through a complete genocide... Howard spoke gently, not knowing what Roni had seen on her way to this room. "A very pretty dress for a pretty young woman, Roni! My name is Howard Dini, and although it is in a bit of a bad condition right now, I am the owner of this manor." Howard still speaks gently, but a hint of grimness leaks into his voice. How had the child gotten in here, of all places? It was a literal fortress.... "Are you okay, Roni? I have no idea how you got here... Could you tell this old wizard how? You... you didn't see anything, did you?" Roni shakes her head. She spots a fragment of a banner caught upon a bejeweled chandelier high above, and jumps futilely towards it. Confused, Dini glances around for the girl's point of entry--and when he looks back, she is gone! With the young girl vanishing as quickly as she had entered, Dini rubs his temples and mutters to himself. Today was not a good day for the sorcerer. "Okay... so maybe "hunger hallucination" shouldn't have been ruled out..." By chance, the magician looks up, and to his great surprise, the little girl sits atop the chandelier, fiddling with her ribbon. She waves to Dini. "Hiii!" A lightbulb goes off in Howard's head, and he smiles. For the first time that day, his bad mood melts way and he lets out a laugh from the bottom of his being. The young girl reminded him of Natasha, when she was in her early years. He speaks to the child warmly: "Ha! Quite the young little magic user, aren't you Roni? You know, you remind me a whole lot of my niece when she was in her early years...Do you need any help coming down, my dear?" Roni is too busy swinging from the chandelier to pay much attention to the magician. Suddenly, though, a glittering jewel, tied to a scrap of ribbon, slips from the child's grasp. "My necklace!" To Dini's horror, Roni leaps from the chandelier to grab her trinket in midair. The shock makes time seem to stand still, as the girl reaches out toward a banner impossibly far away...and yet, at the last moment, the fabric moves of its own accord, placing itself securely within her grasp. Roni swings down to a safer height, but the battle-tattered cloth cannot hold her weight, and she hits the floor with a thud--unhurt, but still traumatized. The necklace lies abandoned at her feet, and she looks to Dini on the verge of tears... Dini gets down on his knees, scooping up the dropped necklace in one hand and stroking the hair of the saddened Roni. The child was still a complete enigma to the magician, but Howard treated her just like he would treat his niece, when she was Roni's age. Though he didn't want to entertain the notion, the sorcerer felt that the young girl had a very hard life at home... "Shh, shh. It's going to be okay Roni, it's going to be okay." Dini consoles the sniffling Roni for some time. He didn't need to say much - it wasn't necessary. Sometimes, all you need is someone to be near, someone who'll listen to whatever troubles you... and Howard was happy to be that person. After a few minutes Dini places the young girl's necklace back around her neck, and they both stands up. Roni's face had lit back up again, having gotten all of her sorrows out. "You know, my dear? You really do have the makings of a great mage. Some people never reach the level you have already gotten to in their lifetime. Although your stunt was a tad dangerous, it was mighty impressive! Whether it didn't quite work out or not is irrelavant. You're still young Roni, and you have a long way to go. I've got some experience dabbling with magic myself, you know. What do you say Mr. Dini teaches you a couple of spells?" For one of the first times in his life, Howard Dini was being modest. Roni wipes the tears from her face, and nods. "...OK, Uncle Dini." "Okay. I want you to focus on that banner over there..."
