Endgame

"Guts, I've been meaning to ask you. ...In which way does the dancing help, exactly? i think I saw Sorana snickering at your little jig once..."

...6 moves. In one turn. Hot damn.

"Battle order, Guts?" "by the way, if we can leave Rex at the brink of death instead of dead, maybe we can utilize him somehow. As a mount, maybe?"

"Selfast, front." "Disregard that, me and Maurice spoke at the same time. Rais, fornt. What a bloody good mess this is."

Considering the most up-to-date version of my stats is in the quest thread, I typically just update after a quest is done.

I believe I established at one point all Sorrow had was a hammock.

"He is the one who breached this manor first, if I recall. Big, 8 tentacles? He was always clapping his tentacles to a weird rhythm for some reason. I believe he likes to lounge on the island in the middle of the pond. me and the missus sometimes take the kids over there to do some crayfishing if it was sunny out."

QM Note: He only has 2 artifact slots, I believe, so he'd have to dequip the weaker one anyway if he wanted to put on the hide. Galen straps the crystalline hide to his back and Lycan powers up Combrys permanently with his grating stone.

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1 "Yes, indeed. I am Gregory Rihts, and these are my children, Kyle and Sophia Rihts." Kyle still seems to be in awe about the spectacular bout he witnessed. "Wait til' I tell all my friends about this! You guys are so cool!" "Don't you get any ideas, Kyle: I don't want to see you fighting all sorts of big meanies like these things! You'll get hurt!" The two Riths children bicker back and forth. Ah, sibling love. While his children were quarreling, Gregory answers their other question. "Yes, I am quite alright - they roughed me up a bit when they dragged me out for execution, but luckily, when they heard you turn the doorknob, I was able to break free and hide in the closet. Not one of my finest moments, for sure... If you had come a minute later, it may have been too late. Thank you, heroes." The aristocrat turns to his two arguing children. the topic had shifted from heroism to which one of the Proggs was most dangerous. "That Wound guy was the worst, by far!" "Nuh-uh. That Blade Cart was way worse!" "Stop it, you two: now is not the time to argue!"

To quote its exact description... "A trophy that shows you have slain the mighty Death Progg. Worthless, but worth 30 gold in magic shops." A glorified bone, basically. I look as the impressive claw skitters across the floor to the... "dog". "Great idea, Mizuki! Where'd you get the claw? "

QM Note: Sylph, I'll just assume you get the journal and sword fragment. Galen, please note, you already have backwear and 2 artifacts on. Will you dequip the leather armor?

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1 With one final devastating lash of Galen's whip, The Wound is on death's door, seconds away from dying. Summoning up the rest of his dwindling strength, he decides to use it to mock his killers. "Gah... gahhah... Oh, I... wish i could see it... the battle between you little rats and Aquous... it'd be the show of a lifetime! The cacophony of your demise! GAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAA HAAAAA! It'll be beautiful... it'll be a masterpiece! Oh, how I long to see it...! *hack, sputter, wheeze* Enjoy your last few hours, heroes... Aquos will destroy you! Aquos will destroy you! Aquos wil- HUURRKKK!" The Wound draws a sharp gasp in the middle of his maniacal ranting, the arrogant abomination snapping in his final moments on this Olegaia. With one final spasm, he succumbs... The Wound was vanquished at last. In the corner of the room, the party hears a door swing ajar, and see 3 figures stepping out. "Jolly good show, heroes!" "Dude! Can you do that again?! That was awesome!" "Are the mean monsters gone, daddy?"

I stare in awe at the reptilian beast. "That... is not... a dog..."

Looks awesome, Skyrimguy.

Yes please, Skyrimguy: sounds interesting!

I'd personally love to host Pretzel (again), Boomingham, Nyx, Arthur, Skrall, or Ellaria, and pretty much all of 55.

"Lovely. I went to Charis twice in a month, and I didn't see that; thankfully. Atleast that Fantome had the decency of stopping rubbish like that. Did you ever go to Charis?"

"You shouldn't trust anyone who locks up children with man-eating beasts. Harumph."

...Adamatite for all people who sign-up for Progg Quest 0! Okay, that reward is a bit farfetched, but there probably will be a Progg quest 0 - a gaiden smaller then 36 and 48 of sorts showing what effects 48 had on Progg civilization.

Sandy, weren't you on Quest 40? Zepher, you must not like Combrys or the Gladius Hides, then. To be fair, I try to just repackage existing items (Spellbound gloves into Wound's hide (now it is just throwing weapons instead of spells) and dual-strike into Dualis scepters. I think the only 3 items that use anything new are Shrapnel bow, trail brew, and dapper hat; and even then, they are pretty simplistic (and I checked with sandy on the brew! )

It all makes sense now! The reason why Red Robot's head is shaped that way is to signify to the other Galaxy Squad members that it is a trap!

Byblos? Fighting? Nobody try to take that book away from him, people...

Well, something is off when I edit 4 numbers, and suddenly the entire post is a scramble of Bbcode tags I never even used. :skeptic: Not to mention 99% of the post deletes itself.

QM Note: Okay, I don't have the entirety of rounds 10 & 11 nor their rolls, but I rewrote the last part of the post, so it'll have to do. Sorry, folks. Refer above for the loot list and leveled-up party.

I love how as technology advances, it becomes more and more unreliable and more and more prone to flights of fancy. Do as you are told, strings of 0's and 1's!

Allow me to go on record here: Color-coded battle orders are not a QM's bane. Docken is not the QM's bane. It's the megablocking text editor. Welp, rounds 10 and 11 are now somehow lost to eternity, even though I just fixed Galen's HP.

"Yes. I HATE YOU ALL."
