Endgame

Round Three of the Guards Battle >Arnulf guzzles down a Potion (back): 10 HP restored! >Brickington VS Hard Head (front): Special Damage (Sentinel, all damage will be halved next round.) >Jeaux VS Daulo (back): Damage (4/2=2 damage) >Karie VS Pinhead (front): Hit (3+2=5 damage) >Em VS Beardy (back): Special Damage (4/2=2 damage, Bleeding!) Arnulf guzzles down a potion, only for Brickington to provoke hard Head's sentinel. Jeaux attempts to plunge an arrow into Dualo's shoulder, but he proves too swift for the novice ranger. The dual-weilding foe evades and stabs Jeaux in the stomach. Karie subdues pinhead, only for Em to be struck down by Beardy. "One down..." Town Watchman "Beardy", Level 4 Humanoid HP: 3/15 Specials: Deep Wound: "Beardy" stabs the hero for 4 damage (disregarding SP) - the piercing blow leaves a deep gash, causing the hero to bleed out and take 1 damage each round until remedied.

QM Note: I'm really sorry the quest has slowed down a bit as of late, folks. Life has been busy, but I'll try to pick up the pace! Round Thirty of the Fungeon Battle! >Punii makes bombs: 1 of every jelly made! >Sylph blinds Progg Mob (back): Failure! >Sylph seals Progg Mob (back): Failure! >Elgar seals Progg Mob (back): Failure! >Alex seals Progg Mob (back): Failure! >Johon VS Progg Mob (front): Special Damage Critical Hit (8x3=24+21=45x2=90-6=84 damage, 21 damage decay placed) >Hal VS Progg Mob (front): Hit (10+18=28-6=22 damage) >Hal VS Progg Mob (front): Special Damage (Mob Mentality: 250 HP restored to self!) -Sylph: No jinxing! -Johon: No jinxing! -Alex: Jinxed! -Elgar: No jinxing! -Galen: No jinxing! -Romulus: No jinxing! -Hal: Jinxed! >Romulus chugs a Mead (back) >Galen VS Progg Mob (back): Hit Critical Hit (10x2=20+16=36x2=72-6=66 damage) >Galen VS Progg Mob (back): Miss Miss >Johon VS Progg Mob (front): Critical Hit Shield: Ravage (8+21=29x2=58-6=52 damage, 35 gold earned) >5 Proggs join the fray: Progg, Progg, Progg, Artillery Progg, Progg Archer The battle with the gargantuan Progg Mob begins. The huge crowd of ravenous beasts refuses to allow itself to be sealed, but do take some damage from Johon and Hal. Hal misses in his assault at one of the mobbists. The Progg, happy that his life was spared, begins a chant, the rest of the mob joining in on the bloodthirsty war cry. Their morale boosts, and Alex and Hal can feel their lukc plummet... the party proceeds to do some steady damage. By the round's end, 5 Proggs split off from the main Mob; one away from forming a Progg mini-mob. It looks like it was time for crowd control! Enemies in the Final Area: "Surrender, and allow yourself a swift death!" Progg Mob, Level 35 Beast *Decaying! 21 damage (3 rounds remaining)* *Badly Poisoned!* HP: 1053/1200 SP: 6 Specials: Split Off: Creates 3 random Proggs. Stampede: Reduces the hero who rolled Special Damage to 1 HP and does 17 damage to everyone else. Mob Mentality: The entire mob rallies together, restoring 300 HP to itself.

Passive Specials: Divide and Conquer: Every 50 HP lost spawns a random Progg. A die will be rolled to determine what type of Progg it'll be: -6: Artillery Progg -5: Progg Archer -4: Progg -3: Progg -2: Progg -1: Progg 255 HP lost so far!

Round Two of the Guards Battle >Brickington VS Hard Head (front): Hit (3+2=5/2=3-1=2 damage) >Em VS Pinhead (back): Special Damage (Wide Sweep - 3 damage to entire party!) >Jeaux VS Beardy (back): Hit (3+2=5/2=3 damage) >Arnulf VS Dualo (front): Damage (4 damage) >Karie VS Beardy (front): Critical Hit (3x2=6+2=8/2=4 damage) This round proves to be a bit polarizing, a contrast to the excellent round the party had last time. Hard Head's sentinel severely weakened all of the attacks landed on his men, saving many of them from unconsciousness. The party gets tripped up with a wide sweep of Pinhead's axe, dealing moderate damage to the entire party. Jeaux plunges an arrow into the bearded soldier, only for Arnulf to lock blades with Dualo. The struggle was soon over, however, considering it was 2 swords versus Arnulf's one dagger. Karie swoops in for the kill, attempting to knock out Beardy, but her critical strike was once again weakened by Hard Head's sentinel. The battle rages on! "Uuurggh..." Town Watchman "Beardy", Level 4 Humanoid HP: 3/15 Specials: Deep Wound: "Beardy" stabs the hero for 4 damage (disregarding SP) - the piercing blow leaves a deep gash, causing the hero to bleed out and take 1 damage each round until remedied.

Witches are incredibly scary to host for. If you mirrored the Progg Glutton's special, you would've gained a permanent 3 levels.

Makes you wonder: Is Atramor powerful enough to hex and manipulate an entire mob? And yes, Sylph, I shattered the internetz. Whoopsies! And Eidolon (Not edilion, that sounds like a flower or a breakfast burrito of some kind! ) is pretty genre savvy. He had enough sense to fry you earlier, anyway...

QM Note: Thank CallMePie for fixing that one up, not me!

CallMePie, you are a wizard. Thanks a lot for that! And what are you talking about? Those are the bestest drops ever- and they won't be defective this time!

...Is there any way to repair the post I just made in 48, or is it broken for all of eternity? I hate this text editor so much.

"You think mankind has cleansed itself of its sin since we overthrew our master? You think there is no longer any slavery or oppression? Fools! Mankind has done nothing to help this world... every good deed soon being erased with an atrocity! Speaking of your precious hall... We've been making some plans to strike Eubric next for some time now. What other way could we kick off the Era of Eidolon then the destroy the biggest cesspool of villainy and deceit then Eubric itself? A place where its very guardians are corrupted, and it is held in thrall by nothing more then a few bickering families - just barely being held together by a petty family feud! I will personally burn your hall to the ground, and crush any of the heroes dwelling within. Your veterans will hardly be effective against an entire army of Proggs, methinks. The original veterans may have cut through the entire Goblin army and assassinate Tarokai... but do you think they'll be able to handle the situation in reverse? Hahaahahahaha... there is no better way to begin the Era of Eidolon to destroy Eubric! Luosh fell in a matter of hours... and your precious Eubric will fare no better." The heroes stagger back at the Emperor's revelation - even if Eidolon failed, the death count in a crowded city such as Eubric would be enormous. And there were some heroes simply not experienced enough to even stand against the Emperor...They, too, would perish from Eidolon's killing spree. The party looks in disgust at the crazed emperor. "But, there is one little thing I have to do before I decimate Eubric. Namely, kill you. My subjects: HAVE AT THEM! CARRY THEIR HEADS BACK TO ME ON A PIKE!" At their master's command, the Proggs vault out of the crowd, condensing into a massive amalgam - a gargantuan mob of blood thirst Proggs. With a sarcastic wave good-bye Eidolon flies through the ceiling, bursting out of the room. The Suffering, who had been relatively quiet until now, flies to the front of the crowd. He had several syringes sticking out of his arm . Clearly, he had been boosting himself with steroids... he lands into the center of the mob, and they advance on the heroes. "Are you ready, heroes?" Prepare For The Final Area! "For Eidolon!" Progg Mob, Level 35 Beast HP: 1200/1200 SP: 6 Specials: Split Off: Creates 3 random Proggs.

In retaliation, their leader enters a sentinel position, ready to soften any damage directed towards himself and his men. "Why do I feel so... sluggish...?" Town Watchman "Beardy", Level 4 Humanoid HP: 10/15 Specials: Deep Wound: "Beardy" stabs the hero for 4 damage (disregarding SP) - the piercing blow leaves a deep gash, causing the hero to bleed out and take 1 damage each round until remedied. Drops: Remedy, Grand Potion, 20 gold "Lets go." Town Watchman "Pinhead", Level 4 Humanoid *Poisoned!* HP: 2/16 Specials: Wide Sweep: "Pinhead" performs a wide sweep of his axe, doing 3 damage to the entire party. Drops: Smoke bomb, 30 gold "Psst, call me!" Town Watchman "Dualo", Level 5 Humanoid HP: 3/13 Specials: Slice n' Dice: Runs around the heroes, attempting to stab each one.

Town Watch Captain "Hard Head", Level 5 Humanoid HP: 14/17 SP: 1 Enemies take less damage equal to their SP. In other words, "Hard Head" takes 1 less damage per attack. Specials: Sentinel: Halves all damage dealt to enemies in the next round.

"You people amaze me. I burned to death and I have been persecuted for more then 400 years, every single one of my loved ones dying or being crippled at one point or another. Why so bitter?"

"I apologize if this is getting a tad too formulaic for your tastes, but I'm afraid you'll be dead soon enough anyway! I don't suppose any of you were ever born into slavery. Poor Aquos wasn't even fully aware what was going on... Rhodus has tried to blot all the memories out. But I realized that those memories gave me purpose, they guided me. "Slavery" is too light of a word for what hell me and my people went through under man's rule. Day 1 of my life and day 1 of servitude were one of the same. We were performing labor you filthy vermin were too weak to. We were beat constantly... instead of our slave masters doing it, they forced family to. Proggs who were no longer proving to be useful were murdered and just harvested for ether. We were allowed not even an hour a day to relax, and even then it wasn't relaxing... just mending our wounds so we may once again go out and do our "master's" bidding. Progg suicide was not an uncommon thing, the battered and bloody souls either drowning themselves in the island's icy waters; or, they'd just continually slack off, knowing that eventually their master would end their misery. Dead proggs were usually piled up in plain sight as stark reminder to the rest of us. Though my father, the Mythrogg, was king, his treatment wasn't any better. He was the only one keeping the Progg population from tearing apart and splitting at the seams. Though he was a peaceful man, he knew that life could not go on for us like this... so it was he who orchestrated the rebellion. We prevailed, as I'm sure you know. As I said before, you humans are the plague of this planet. Your dreams and ambitions outgrow the bounds of your feeble bodies, and lust drives your every action. All you ever do is hurt yourself and those around you to achieve your own greedy goals of self-satisfaction and transitory pleasure. Your purpose is not to change the world or leave a legacy... it is just to obtain as much greedy satisfaction as possible."

"Ohh, we'll see about that, evoker." QM Note: I'll give everyone a few more hours to RP before I kick off the final area.

One of the four men begins to walk over to Karie, but the heavily armored man - perhaps their leader - holds his spear in his subordinates path. "Do not fall for this witch's schemes. Sir told us to kill them on sight, and we've disobeyed enough already." The halted guard turns to his captain, his tone having a hint of childlike whininess in it. "But, captain - !" "No. I and Sir have given us orders, and I expect you to follow them to the letter." The armored man steps forward, brandishing his spear - his 3 officers follow about him, similarly showing their weapons menacingly. Though resolute in their desire to kill the heroes, their movements are sluggish and a tad mechanical. Obviously, whatever the Apprentice did to them was having ill effects on their coordination. Prepare for Battle! "Why do I feel so... sluggish...?" Town Watchman "Beardy", Level 4 Humanoid HP: 15/15 Specials: Deep Wound: "Beardy" stabs the hero for 4 damage (disregarding SP) - the piercing blow leaves a deep gash, causing the hero to bleed out and take 1 damage each round until remedied.

"Thousands? You are woefully underestimating me. I plan to do more then petty thousands. Far, far more, in fact." Eidolon makes a sweeping gesture with his claw, laughing cruelly as he does so. "Look at the forces I command and cower, heroes. This is a mere portion - a fraction of the grand army I know control. You may be paragons among your verminous species, but how do you think the rest of mankind will fare against the Proggs? We were able to subjugate Luosh to our will within a few hours. The rest of Uland will topple just as this filthy town of aristocrats did. Do you think that the average man could take even a Progg larva on in fair combat? He'd probably be too busy cowering in fear to even fight for his life! What a pathetic species you are - weak and fragile, yet harbor dreams of greed and power far bigger then you could ever hope to achieve. Dreams that corrupt and kill yourself and those around you! Mark my words, heroes: I shall be the executioner of mankind!"

People still seemed to not realize I was present in the hall. Or, they were purposefully being ignorant of my existence. "Tell me, do you think it is simple to locate and stab an enemy's nerve cluster from a single run-by?"

QM Note: Sorry for the massive delay! The party, geared up and ready to rumble, proceeds down the bend and through a hallway. After this short walk, they come across the source of one of the voices... the one who was receiving the orders, apprently. 4 Town Watch guards stand in the room, their weapons beared. There is a dull sheen of obedience in thire eyes - though some of them smiled or frowned, it was clear they were not right in the head. "Hm?" "Who do you think you are?" "Hmph. So you are the ones Sir warned us about." "Halt. Any last words?"

QM Note: Apologies for the absolutely massive delay, folks! Bug Obliterater proved to be a more time consuming build then expected. Round Twenty Nine of (the now INCREDIBLY long) Fungeon Battle! >Punii makes jellies: 1 of every jelly made! >Sylph heals himself (back): Failure! >Sylph heals himself (back): Greater Heal (9x2=18+20=38 HP healed) >Alex heals Elgar (back): Heal (10+18=28 HP healed) >Romulus chugs a nostrum >Johon gulps down the Taboo Apple The party prepares themselves for the impending coronation clash, knowing the Suffering - and perhaps even Eidolon himself - lingered behind this door. With their consumbales chugged, their wounds mended, and their new found loot distributed, the party braces themselves for the trial ahead. They push open the door, and are immedaitely floored by the scene around them. They were in a massive room,a huge chamber that was lined with tiered seats. Entire militias of Proggs lined the walls, are glaring down disapprovingly at the intruding heroes. Hundreds, perhaps even thousands of eyes locked on to the heroes the second they entered the gargantuan room, waiting to see their next move. The Suffering proves relaively unfazed by the heroes' enrance, and he and Eidolon proceed on with the ceremony. The winged warrior seems toi be on the last few sentances of the presitgious coronatiom, moments way from crowning the despicable abomination as Emperor. "Eidolon... Do you accept the title of Emperor, and to be crowned supreme ruler of all proggs." Though Eidolon answered in a single word, the party can see the triumph and pride in his eyes. "Yes." With that, two Aerial Proggs burtst in from behind the heroes, gracefully swooping over their heads. They carry with them an massive crown, ornate yet savage in appearance - for it was covered in barbs and spikes, practically a lethal weapon on its own. The place it atop Eidolon's head, and soar into the crowd. Eidolon - no, Emperor Eidolon - has been crowned! The new emperor, hardly taking notice of the miniscule heroes, moves to the center of the room. He looks from the room, side to side, taking in all of his subjects. He raises his arms into the air, blinding coils od red electricity suddenly slithering up them. They crackles and sputter, electrifiying the air of the grantuan room. Eidolon utters his first words as new Emperor of all Proggs: "Ladies and gentlemen! Proggs of all sizes and ages! Meet... Your new emperor! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The formerly silent crowd erupts at the sight of their powerful new leader, the species not having a true king for the past 800 years. But at long last, they finally had one now - and with his coronation, a glroious new era would engulf all of Uland, and perhaps even Olegaia! The crowd of hundreds of Proggs go absolutely haywire, celebrating over their new monarch. After all of the random outrubrts, the hundreds of Proggs synchronize into one chant: "EI-DO-LON! EI-DO-LON! EI-DO-LON!" The chant proves defeaning, the sound of hundreds of screaming creatures riccocheting off of the high walls and lofy ceiling of the gargantuan room. The very room seems to shake from their bloodlust, the party covering their ears and staggering back from the noise. This was no crowd whose lust for violence would be quenched easily! The heroes look on as history was being made... a dark day in history indeed. QM Note: I want to let you roleplay before I initiate round 5. No consumables though, please!

Sorry, folks on 48 and 56! I just recieved both the Bug Obliterator and the Swarm Interceptor as a gift, and I've been building them. I'll update tonight.

Jeaux throws the now adhesive device at the key, the head of the Cymbalroot plant catching on the key. It seems to have a bit of residual consciousness left: at the uttering of Em's rather corny pun, it clamps shut in an attempt to play its signature rimshot. With a triumphant tug on the rope Jeaxus yanks back the key, the Cymbalroot's head clamped tightly on it. They pry it off with Karie's dagger, and take the prize inside: the key! They hastily insert it in the lock. With a twist of the key, the lock becomes undone and clatters to the floor. The party swings the jail door open - they were free! They stride out of their cell, victorious... but still not having a single clue where they actually were. They can hear voices around the bend... "So, you see, it is literally that simple. Just stand here and thrash whoever decides to pass by, like a good little boy." "But is this right, sir?" "Ohh, very good. You're calling me "sir", just like I instructed you to. Yes, this is right in every definition of the word." "Dead or alive, sir?" "Dead. I have no use for lab rats strong enough to escape. Now then, I must return to my business. Do not fail me." "Do not fail you. Yes sir." With that, the party can hear footsteps as somebody walks away. Will the party prepare themselves before going around the bend?

Okay, everything should all be fixed up now - sorry for the flub!

The device seems to grab for a moment, then slides off the key. Were they forgetting a step of the procedure...? The slight failure did make a pretty jazzy sound, though. QM Note: I am incredibly picky.

Woah there! Are you implying a harlot (like your girlfriend Alexis, Mr. Regulus. ) would want a piece of Rhodus, a hulking 3-ton, 2 story tall monstrosity of ice? ... Thanks, Kintobar! So far, 56 has been all about first blinding your high horse... then drop kicking you right off it.

Karie fiddles with the lock, but it doesn't prove cooperative. Jeaxu's retrieval device hits the key, but the blunt arrow simply doesn't stick to the key. No matter how much he fiddles with it, it doesn't provide and desirable results whatsoever. They would need some sort of clamping deivce to grab to and stick to the key so they could pull it back.
