Endgame

QM Note: Now that that little venom issue has been resolved, shall I run this or would you like to adjust your actions??

I don't unfortunately: and I have no clue where in these 600 pages it'd be. But for now, I'm going to act on the assumption they wouldn't. I've never seen it happen besides the AC battle, and even then I believe they shouldn't have as Sandy later commented.

The only time I've seen it is the Ancient Dragon battle, and even then I believe sandy said they didn't.

I'm pretty sure Deadly Venom would overwrite the Venom, but my memory is real bad.

QM Note: Your Venom and Deadly Venom wouldn't stack.

Zepher has started an epic series of quest featuring Dark Lady Wren, a cryptic character whose desire is to cause choas and summon the God of Choas, Zoot, into our world. The finale to the series of quest is coming after Christmas.

No, it's fine! JUST DON'T DO IT AGAIN OR YOU'LL BE SOOOOORRRRRRRRY.

I'm suddenly reminded of Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2.

QM Note: Dannylonglegs, can you post a Battle Order and an action for Isabella? EDIT: Gack, ninja'd on both accounts! I thought you were a druid and not an infiltrator, Dannylonglegs...

QM Note: The Bleeding will only join the fray when you kill 25 enemies. You currently can't even touch him.

Okay, battle 2, here we go! If you need any clarification on any of it, don't be afriad to ask.

She can't hear you.

"...Fair is fair. Keep the teeth, mcency. I don't have enough accesory slots room to keep these any way."

Quest 50 sounds a lot like 43, but I may be completely wrong.

Writing for Rhodus again was really fun! Also, that rally scene is almost 3,000 pieces.

They were so many of them - would they be able to take them all on? They can see a figure with her hands bound and her feet being pressed down in a mound of rock. Distinclty female grunts and screams can be heard from under the bag they tied to her head: this was Ayla Commerz.. In the center of the Rally was a formidable, blood-red Progg. The party recognizes his face as the pair of red eyes that assaulted their chariot: this Progg was a member of the Gladius Unit! "Big thanks to the comedian - that was bloody hilarious! Now then, all you wonderful people didn't come here just for a few quick gags, am I right? You came here for a little bit of bloodshed. and bloddshed you shall get!" The crowd goes beserk, cheering and pumping their fists. "Now then, ladies and gentelemn. Tonight's featured event. You know him, you love him, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits... RHODUS!" A blur of black and blue bursdts out from the ground, It's landing making the earth shake and tremor, and the heroe's get a chill up their spine. It unfurls it's tail's and roars, causing the onlooking Proggs to go even more nuts. The beast is coated in ice in some places. His formidable frame towers above even the two-story tall bleachers. All other Proggs are dwarves by comparison to the massive beast. His piercing blue eyes glow like a flame. It seems as if his very presence has caused the temperature to drop signicantly, and the heroes begin to shiver. The heroes are left in shock and awe at the sight of the garguntuan Progg. He appears to have hacked off one of his own hands and replaced it with a stalagmite, and replaced a claw with an icicle. He takes center stage and begins his rally speech. "Ladies and gentlemen. To start off, and "break the ice" if you will, I just want to give you my sincerest thanks for attending this event. Now, I am not here to bore you with formalities, as I'm sure you all know. 3,000 years ago, the first Progg - my father - was brought into this world. Our existence back then was that of endless servitude and slavery. indeed, we were born into oppression! Forced to endlessly toil away for our ungrateful masters simply because they were too stupid to survive on their own. We were a replacement mule. We were a replacement cow. We were a replacement horse. But look at us now! Little did those idiotic mages now they engineered the greatest species to ever exist! We are masterful predators, acute tacticians, and sharp of wit. We may have been slaves at one time, but no more! We are the architects of our own fate. And I propose we give all other species a taste of their own venom. Damn them for thinking they could crush us and our hopes and dreams! They will pay. All of them will pay. We will spread like the plague, our numbers growing higher and higher. We will overthrow every civilization we can get our claws on. We will rise above all other pathetic, squishy races and build Olegaia in our image! I have a dream. The dream that one day, Proggs will not only be the architect of their own fate - but the architect of everyone else's. A dream that Proggs will one day control every last inch of Olegaia! We have risen above our oppressors in the past many times before. And we will do it again. And again. And again. There is nobody that will be able to stop the juggernaut of a species that is THE PROGGS!" The crowd goes absolutley haywire in their bloodthirst, chanting "RHO-DUS! RHO-DUS! RHO-DUS!" They chant and stomp and cheer and scream in celebration of their leader. "Now, we have one of our oppressors here today. Let this execution be an example to those foolhardy enough to those who dare stand in the Progg's way." Rhodus picks up the terrorfied Ayla and rips off the bag on her head. The blood-red Progg holds her down on the turf while Rhodus raises his massive tail in the air. Ayla looks around at her surroundings for what she believed to be the final time and spots Punii in the bushes. Her expression lights up and suddenly changes to that of confusion. Rhodus notices this and follows her line of sight to the bushes. He insturcts his accomplice to keep Ayla held down, and walks over to the bushes. Reaching in with both hands he scoops up the entire party and throw them into the middle of the Rally. Rhodus grabs Ayla and makes an announcement. "I should've known you'd Heroica vermin would come here, of all places, first. You fleshy little runts are always a constant annoyance. But now, my fellow Rallyers, there is a slight change of plans. I will handle the execution of Ayla myself, behind closed doors. I'll let you wonderful folks execute these pathetic, So-called heroes in the meantime. Enjoy your substitue. Oh, and Ayla? Any last words for your treasonous little pet?" "Punii, I-" Rhodus covers Ayla's mouth. "Tut-tut, Ayla." With that, Rhodus hops back underground. Proggs jump out of the bleachers to aid the blood-red progg in battle. "I'll get you, *wheeze* Rhodus...!" "As you daft little creatures may have deduced, I am The Bleeding. Pleasure to be of your acquintance. Any last words?" QM Note: Last call for preperation!

"Great idea, my friend. You can have the axe and the metal teeth, just give them back when the quest is over, okay?"

Thanks for the concern, capn! Also, it is all in the technique. Now to give the Fantome a good curb-stomping.

I go over to the limp, hardly concious Scipio and lean over him. He groans in dismay and embarassment. "Next time, please do not push me. Or I will have to remove more from you then your false teeth and dignity." I turn to address the crowd. "Thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen! Fantome... I just wrecked your quirky little sidekick without breaking a sweat. Give up while you have more dignity then your toothless mook! I buy and chug a Nostrum, mead, and Smelling Salts, sell the axe, then equip the teeth. Thanks for the concern, Capn!

A state of emergency has just been declared over here, with widespread power outages expected. I may go inactive.

"I'll get you from the Front Row."

Sighing, he lays the Mage on his back and thrusts his katana through it's chest, piercing his heart. QM Note: Sylph, please decide if Dharkan will prepare anything. When B&P posts, I'll begin the rally...

He'd probably go absolutley insane with rage. You'll see soon how he fixed himself up... in my next post in 48 most liely, in fact. Also, can everyone tell I hate bees yet?

Agreeing on a course of action, Elgar raises his bow. Closing one eye, he focuses on the beehive... and fires. The arrow sails through the sky and hits the bullseye, causing the beehive to drop. It lands right on the face grid of the poor Progg Mage. A swarm of bees come out and fly right through his face grid, stinging his fleshy interior over and over again. The Progg Mage begins running around madly, the beehive wedged in his face blinding him and the bees causing him exccessive amounts of pain. "OH GOD! OH GOD! BEES! BEES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAH!" In his crazed sprinting the Mage rams into the house the heroes wer ehiding behind. Lycan has to sidestep to avoid getting run over. The Progg Mage rebounds off the wall and falls unconcious. Will the party prepare before heading in to the rally?

Hurricane Sandy (No, not our Sandy. ) may hit me on Monday. This can swing three ways. 1. School is cancelled. I have power. Quest continues at a quick pace. 2. School is cancelled. No power. No quest. 3. Normal day. Just a warning.
