Endgame

The Wound's facade of superiority wavers momentarily, but he quickly retorts. "My mother and father were two delusional idiots who didn't understand what a prodigy their child was. Oh, and I'll gladly skin you alive! Just come a little closer..."

No, I don't load my dice. My die wants you to use it's name as a verb, apparently. I'm preparing a little something for the holiday season. I'll have it up soon enough!

"Oh, I see you still remain rebellious. It is always so much nicer skinning people like you when they are dead. Much more rewarding, I find."

With a tug of a chain, two harpoons shoot forth, slamming into Alex and Galen. Galen, in his rage, swings at the Blade Cart, only for the operator to grab him by the neck. Seeing this calamity unfold, Johon swings at the Blade Cart, shattering one of it's wheels before the operator can drop Galen into the sharpening blades. However, the throttling still hurts Galen, and he sussumbs to his wounds. "Die!"

I just roll a d20 and multiply the result by pi.

QM Note: The holidays are upon us! I'll try to update later tonight.

"Consumables. Meads, Nostrums, Smelling Salts. We all need them."

QM Note: ...Sylph, you don't have a Phoenix Essence. I'm going to go see the Hobbit soon, so chances are this'll be my last update tonight.

"Aaahhahahahah! Already ready to flee?! Where has your god been this etire time, paladin? Perhaps you abandoned such a weak follower of his..."

It actually just disabled their SP and burned them, but yes, that sounds about right. I have something similar-ish planned for later in 48.

Pfft, thunder? Just plain, tranquil rain is far more atmospheric!

Already planned, actually.

Note to self, make enemies that Jinx heroes.

Yeah, Lycan went from in dept to having a nice retirment fund.

"I'll slice it with my fan, front row."

"Put Nagure at the end of the Battle Order. We all wail on the Vortex barrier. If it pops, Maurice runs off with us. If it doesn't, we escape anyway. Put Nerwen attacking it first, so she may make it fragile."

"What about Maurice?" I look towards the Cleric, held hostage in some peculiar... rectange... bubble.. thing...? "Something tells me Sorona won't be too eager to let him go."

Wow, 48ers, this battles is actually pretty interesting: about half of the fighters on each team are dangerously close to dying.

Round Four of Battle With The Wound >Sylph heals Galen (back): Lesser Heal (19 HP healed, 1 ether lost) >Alex VS Red Inferno (front): Damage (15 damage!) >Johon VS Red Inferno (front): Damage Hit (8+20=28x2=56-12=48 damage) >Galen VS Blue Lightning (back): Special Damage Miss >Lycan VS Blue Lightning (front): Miss Shield: Mug (11x3=33+11=44x2=88-4=84 damage, 84 gold earned, Combrys = WP: 12) >Punii mixes jellies: 4 is rolled: 25 damage to all enemies! >Galen VS The Wound (back): Hit Shield: Mug (10x3=30+15=45x2=90/2=45-6=39 damage, 39 gold earned) >Johon VS Blade Cart (front): Special Damage Critical Hit (8x3=24+20=44x2=88-3=85 damage) >Sylph heals Elgar (back): No heal >Elgar VS Crystalline Progg (back): Special Damage: Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Crystalline Progg is now counterstriking for the next 3 rounds) Yet another mixed bag round for the hereos. Sylph pulls off a less then spectacular heal, the medical help still being enough for the crippled Galen. Alex swings at Red Inferno, but the Progg barrel rolls out of harms way. With a chuckle he raises his jewlwed scepter high into the air and swings downwards, his lust allowing him to pierce the paladin's exorbitant defense. Alex staggers backwards from the blow, rubbing his head groggily. Johon hits the sorceror back as retribution. Galen attempts to whip Blue Lightning, his whip wrapping around the Progg's scepter. However, the wily beast jerks his scepter away, freeing him from the whip's grasp. Lycan strikes Blue Lightning with all of his force, Combrys once again humming with raw power. Punii detonates a powerful blast, doing decent damage to all combatants. The Wound, using his tentacles at air cannons, fires knife after knife at Galen. The rogue narrowly slides under the knives whizzing overhead and pulls off a tremendous attack... that doesn't do much to affect the prestigious soldier. Since his cart was bristling with knives, daggers, and all things pointy in all shapes and sizes, the Blade Cart operator tosses The Wound a few blades. Johon slams his blade into the Blade Cart, cracking an axle. Sylph fails to heal Elgar. The evoker, battered and dazed, provokes the Crystalline Progg to go into a defensive stance. The battle rages on - all of the heroes and Proggs still standing, but both sides had wavering fighters... "And that was the be-all end-all of Rogue attacks. How... underwhelming."

"Okay, some stuff to keep in mind. The two lowest level enemies are currently 30 and 36 respectively - yikes. Nobody should target the debuffed skeletal stag, since it is actually now the weakest of these abominations. Also, we must keep in mind that currently Sorana and the buffed skeletal stag can pretty much trample us. Considering he is lucky, Guts should target one of them - I'm not sure who should target the other. For now, I got Dreina, back.

QM Note: There you go, B&P: your pockets are now lined with gold! Unfortunately, your party's faces are also being lined with scars... The die hates you, apparently.

The party opens up with battering the two formidable sorcerors, but their luck quickly turns rancid when Johon once again rushes the Blade Cart. Tired that his precious creations was getting demolished by, of al things, a filtyh human, he decides drastic measures are neccsary. Laughing a harash laugh, he tugs on the chains with great force. Dozens upon dozens of arrows fly into the air, seconds later raining down upon the already weary heroes. Elgar takes another harsh jab to the ribs.

That, I admit, was a mistake. I thought that Undead were weak to ice for some reason, so I decided to take a risk and try to finsih Dreina.

I can understand why "Guards Round 2" was so difficult (I don't think we were even meant to complete that, considering you already had a major NPC antagonist there! ) but, considering none of us are really buffed, the Sisterhood battle seems rather harsh: especially now that they are all (nearly) insta-kill machines.

QM Note: FFFFFFFFffffishsticks. I can go back and tally up all of the gold you should get, if you'd like. Also, note: the Blade Cart's drop has changed. It is supposed to be a Grinding stone, not a grinding blade. My apologies for the mix-up.
