Endgame

QM Note: Was originally going to be 3 gold per 5 HP, but I realized that'd be a little bit too little: after all, they automatically take 40 gold from the pile per round - thus, I set it to 5, but didn't realize they cancelled each other out. I'll clarify it.

QM Note: Say by the battle's end (when all other enemies except the mushroom pile have been killed) the Mushroom Pile has an HP of 104. I'd round that down to 100, divide it by 5, then multiply it by 5 to get 100 gold gained. Basically, you earn gold equal to the HP the Mushroom Pile has left, rounded down to the nearest 5. Don't let the Gluttons eat it all!

"And what shall we do with the ashes of Haroka's "lover?" I say we just tie a weight o the bottle and catapult it into the ocean, but who knows..."

For clarification, the Progg Lurker was the intended rare enemy for this battle: he had a 1/6 chance of appearing in every area thus far, but due to the basement's dark/musty nature, he had a 1/2 chance of spawning in this room. Rare Proggs are tough... but also drop sweet loot! Have at im', 48ers!

QM Note: How in the world did I do that?! Fixed. The party forges onwards, their preparations made and their resolves strengthened. They proceed down the hallway, deathly cautious of any assault their shelled adversaries may spring on them. Finally, they reach the end of the hallway, arriving at the pantry door. Reaching out to grab the doorknob, the door suddenly goes flying off its hinges, the party swiftly ducking to avoid the projectile. They turn to the now empty door frame, and take a step back when they see what was in the room - doznes of Artillery Proggs! The armed beasts begin to pour out into the hallway, demanding the heroes to halt and allow themselves to be executed. The heroes, having no interest in getting mauled by 60-something Artillery Proggs, begin sprinting back down the long hallway, the Artillery Proggs following in hot pursuit. Urgently the party spots a door and throw it open with haste. When all of the party enters, they slam it shut. They proceed to entangle the door in vines, sealing it off with ice, barricading it with rock, and bar it. Huffing and puffing from their mad dash down the hall, the party goes down the musty old staircase in front of them, the sound of the Artillery Proggs pounding and cussing on the door still audible. They find themselves in a dank, musty basement. A ravenous mantrap gnashes its teeth, a putrid purple smoke billowing from the center of the plant. A green-clad Progg covered in foliage carries a peculiar staff, a rainbow of ether rapidly ricocheting and bouncing around in the orb-tipped staff. The curious scepter seemed to dictate the Mantrap's movements: this Progg was most likely the one to have grown the foul plant. A pile of mushrooms sits beneath the staircase exit - part of Gary Reed's harvest! Perhaps this where the stolen mushrooms went? "Ah, it is you." "SHHHHHNNNNNNNARRRGLLLYYYYYYYBLEEERRRGH!" "Indeed, my friend. Let us make quick work of these fools. Come out of hiding - they're here! Four green Proggs carrying pitchforks emerge from the ground - as does a Juggernaut! The guests seemed to have not yet all arrived, however... A menacing black Progg with piercing green yes shambles out of the shadows, but even now the party couldn't get a clear look at him. The being seemed to be cloaked in shadow and veiled in smoke... the 4 spikes on his tail gnash in an unsettling biting motion, as if alive. As the bone chilling beast branded his massive claw at the heroes, they could tell: this Progg was a rare one! Prepare for Area 3! The Basement Enemies "GRRRRRRRROOOAGGGGHHLYGARG!"

I take a few steps back and look at the scene around me. Blaohoel was nothing but a dead pile of gills... Floodgate too was a crumpled heap. Wither lays in the debri dead, and even Haroka himself was vanquished, his giant corpse in the center of all this calamity. "Keep the Darkstar away from the Essence of Sorrow. The darkstar has revived someone before, has it not? Wouldn't surprise me if it does it again."

Translation: I return! Sir Slush, Level 20 Ice Summon The party begins their walk down the hall... QM Note: I'm really sorry folks, i wanted to get Area 3 started this morning, but I lack the time needed to structure the battle out - so for now I just updated the party and started you towards the next location. Feel free to roleplay about whatever, whether it be past quests are all the crazy stuff that has happened here. Just no taking any consumables! Also, Tuesdays are my busy days, so I'll have Area 3 up by tonight.

The Darkstar once again tries to pull at my mind, but I drive off the foul words. The infatuating voice of the Darkstar was lost in a sea of my own whispers - the biggest of which being, of course, Sorrow. However, even though I no longer showed it, my death still replayed dutifully in the back of my psyche, always reminding about what I was - but I wouldn't allow it to tell me who I was. "Syntax. Get a grip." I nearly doubled back - wasn't it normally I who was saying that? Am I really slipping? Although the Darkstar was not fully taking control, it was changing me into something even more ugly then I usually am. I take a deep breath in, allowing the elf's words process. I fix my posture, my normally crooked frame standing tall. I relax and spread out my shoulders, and unsheathe my fan. I spread my feet out and face my enemy. Had Nerwen been listening to the "natural rhythm of the world", or whatever she did, she would notice my "disharmonies" subside then nearly vanish - replaced by a simple but sorrowful rhythm. "Wither, front!"

Okay, first of all, my question still stands: how do you make all that gibberish?! I don't see a "witchcraft and sorcery" key on my keyboard... Serious question, though, I do kind of want to know how you make it. I'll use it incredibly sparingly, though ( ) - probably for one enemy in 48 that also appeared in another quest of mine...

Gah, sorry, my reading comprehension has gone down the drain. Also, I would put in some sort of max HP drop on that shield to compensate, since it isn't taking up the ever-valuable artifact slot...

I know - although it is pretty impressive you managed to fit that all together so nicely in Microsoft Power-point, of all things! I just don't like the idea of photo-editing figures when they actually exist... it just seems weird to me.

No thank you - i was contemplating adding them myself, but I felt that'd be too much of use of outside programs to modify an existent figure. I have weird standards but thanks for the offer!

Does he come off as that? I have a heart-wrencher planned for Sorrow when we return from our General-slayin'.

QM Note: I'll wait for everyone to say what they want to do.

I turn to face the Paladin, who even now still struggling with the tempting words of the Darkstar. "No soul, hm? No soul? Maybe your soul is what is making you so susceptible to the rock's temptations. Does it matter what I'm made of, what I am, or who I am? I've spent the last 400 years trying to do good for people, and what do I get? Rejected, spit upon, at best - and even then, it is incredibly rare nobody tries to take up arms and "slay the undead abomination". I'm so sick and tired of everyone being stereotypical fools! This 400 year folly has been nothing short of agonizing, and I'm growing ever so tired of it. A pipe dream it may be, but one day I hope baseless, idiotic prejudices would stop fogging you people's minds! I have done nothing but try to right wrongs and defeat wrongdoers - but they always seem to slip. First Eryl slithered away... then that blueskinned weasel Byverion talked his way out of his demise. Finally, the Fantome Croise had my party on their knees, begging for his mercy. Eryl is currently more dead then I because of I, and the Fantome sits in some dank cell, unable to move an inch - unable to commit anymore acts of evil and tyranny. Why? Because I stopped him. Hopefully, striking down this so-called Dark general would at least appease that Maginastra, and I can live my unlife a bit less guilty because of it! Helvetia will guide my hand and assist in undoing this freak of nature. Bloahel, back."

Awesome, Scubacarrot - I really appreciate it!

"No, it is thanks to your faith I am currently less dead. And trying to hit the foe is leagues above trying to hit us.Twice. Admit it, Maurice - you attacked me the first time you were infatuated by the Darkstar because I was undead! If religion and faith is supposed to teach justice and good will... why does most everybody hate me...?!" My last words are less aimed at Maurice and more at my lengthy past, only one thing remaining constant throughout the past 400 years. The hatred. The discrimination, the talking behind my back, the terrified screams at the sight of me and the knives pointed at my neck all because I was undead. The sorrow.

"Maurice, what is the point of having faith if you're just going to betray it for a rock every 2 minutes? Focus and fight the real enemy here!" Again.

QM Note: I'm sorry - remember, if you have any questions about anything (except the future of the quest, that is under wraps ) never be afraid to ask! And if I wanted to do an exorbitant amount of damage like that, I would always put down 999. Also yes, you did, Fugazi. Round Thirteen of The "Fungeon" Battle! >Punii mixes jellies: 6 is rolled: 40 damage to all Proggs, disregarding SP! >Sylph seals Crystalline Progg (back): Failure! >Sylph seals Crystalline Progg (back): Success! >Alex VS Crystalline Progg (front): Hit Critical Hit (10x2=20+18=38x2=76 damage, 1 gold earned!) >Johon VS Progg Archer A (front): Damage Hit (8+21=29x2=58-2=56 damage, 14 damage decay placed!) >Johon VS Archer B (front): Damage Shield: Ravage (21+8=29x2=58-3=55 damage to all Proggs, 56 damage, 14 damage decay placed to Archer, 51 damage and 12 damage decay placed on Crystalline Progg, 114 gold earned) >Hal VS Progg Archer B (front): Hit Critical Hit (10x3=30+18=48-2=46 damage) >Hal VS Crystalline Progg (front): Special Damage Damage (24/2=12-3=9 damage) >Sir Slush VS Crystalline Progg (front): 20x2=30-7=33 damage >Romulus VS Crystalline Progg (back): Miss Shield: Mug (18x3=54+13=67/2=33-7=26 damage, 26 gold earned, Combrys = WP: 19) >Galen VS Crystalline Progg (back): Miss Miss >Galen VS Crystalline Progg (back): Miss Hit (10x2=20+16=36x2=72-7=65 damage) The party, with the formidable Trojan's pathetic riders revaled, give it their all. Starting the round off with a devestating blast from Punii, the pain that the party dishes out continues to escalate, the group of heroes killing foe after foe. By the round's end the Crystalline Progg lies dead, he and his minions dispatched with ease. With the bloody scene in the foyer behind them, the party presses on... And find themselves in an anteroom. Two large banners are hung on the wall, each one bearing the symbol for "crown" Their meaning was clear: "Eidolon shall be crowned." Even in this brief lull of battle, urgency grips the heroes... they had a coronation to stop, and fast. "Lets take a *wheeze* quick break here... there seem to be no enemies yet." "Let's divvy up the loot and do whatever you need to do - but do it fast." Party Leader, please distribute all of the loot earned thus far... 155 gold Potion x1 Tonic x3 Mead Nostrum Smelling Salts Smoke Bomb QM Note: Basically, after Sylph distirbutes the loot, Anterooms act like a free round of battle with no enemies. This means healing and trading rules still apply, so watch out for that! After this "anteroom" round, you'll move automatically to Area 3.

Quadruple or bust, good sir! I'll make him level 438 too, to seal the deal!

You know, most people are happy when they receive already wounded enemies... *Scratch scratch* double Eidolon's HP *scratch scratch*

To be fair, Arthur did go Avatar mode once before. But he still got his megablocks utterly handed to him by someone who wasn't even trying. I love writing for antagonists so, so much... gets the stress out, y'know?

The party faces the battered Trojan, the contruct nearing the point of collapse. It's arms were chipped and scrpaed, splinters shooting off from them in every direction. Its tail was riddled with cuts and cracks, nearly ready to snap - and its face grid was just about the same. Alex and Johon both hit the Trojan at once, the force of their mighty strikes cause the Trojan to shake... then crack in half. The wooden machine falls to shambles, pieces of wood cracking and false limbs breaking and scattering every which way. Only it's 6 operators remain, all of them infuriated from the "death" of their ride - but also cut and bruised from the Trojan's smackdown. Time to take out the trash... Enemies in the Foyer: "Grr...
