No, it should not.

I'd say no. By that logic every melee weapon every mage got should be changed.

Ooh, ooh! The least Carly can do is work with us here, she is not doing that, so that's more reason to assume this is the right thing.

Hey! Guts did a tactical flee. Once.

I don't see what the big deal is, I thought it was obvious to begin with.

Sandy's getting a red texted name? The banner is really beautiful! I'm just wondering why Rufindel and Nyx are accompanied by a character from the Steampunk Mafia, but there you go.

Thanks guys. Results of Round Ten of the Warehouse Battle: Skrall vs. Metasimian (Flail) - Critical Hit (WP: 20 x 2 + Level 21 x 3 = 123 Damage dealt) Atramor vs. Metasimian (Scroll and Spear - Poison (No Effect.)

Skrall runs up the silent metasimian with the flail, and sends him flying and takes him out with one massive swing of his broadsword, but he gets hit for massive damage by the halberdeer in return. Atramor manages to get more poison into the magicuser's veins, but it does not help much. Ellaria double teams with Nyx, and while Nyx has to suffer a hit, Ellaria manages to hit the Metasimian with the shield with her fiery staff. Boomingham stands back and heals himself succesfully, while Rufindel's healing attempt fizzles. The three remaining enemies are now driven into a corner, Stim takes poison damage.

Guts watched with an eyebrow raised how Tarn drank the strong alcohol straight from the bottle, it was not long after and the barbarian was snoring in his chair. The Raider shook his head, kids these days.

"Hmpf, who I help is my own business, and you have not the slightest clue what I am, undead." With that, Guts turned his back at the thing, clearly not interested in more talk.

Guts said dryly: "I really don't care."

Guts raises an eyebrow, this should be good. "So. You can read a note I just put up or you heard others call me that, good job. And those gloves sure look gorgeous on you, but I have you know that before you could even come close to steal from me your neck would either be broken, the usual option of a slit throat is unreliable when dealing with something like yourself, or your right arm would be severed, all depending from which angle and with which hand you would come at me. You are clearly not living, but not really dead, which puts your age at unknown, but by the way you wear your cloak and something in your speech I'd say you are quite old. Still, the way you act, I'd say you died at moderate young age and haven't outgrown the behaviour that comes with it, despite the years. Now, I'll be honest, I'd prefer to have nothing to do with you, sure, but I have no reason to turn hostile on you here, now, as long as you don't... inconvenience me. So, undead, Helvetia's creature, or whatever you call yourself, begone. "

Guts throws an annoyed look the dead thing's way and says: "I'm having a conversation with this man here, it's rude to listen in. And this stuff's expensive and more importantly rare. I'm not saying I'm an expert, but I somehow doubt you need sustenance, or alcohol, judging by the way you look." Guts paused for what seemed like a long time, before adding: "No offense."

Guts muttered under his breath, barely hearable to anyone: "Course I wasn't there, beating up my friends, in another country ,sounds like a terrible idea..." More clearly, with an expression only slightly more grumpy than usual, Guts held up the clear bottle and said to Tarn: "You know why I brought this stuff to the table? You know I usually drink wine, imported from Charis, the good stuff, if at all possible. Scheherazade won't like that I took the whole bottle... But this, Valco, is what they call Ennoc's Wine. It's not even wine, more like a kind of gin, but besides the point. The thing that's special about this stuff is that there is a special kind of plant in it, one that for some reason only grows near temples and shrines dedicated to Ennoc. Stuff is supposed to kill your inner demons, figured you could use it." Guts nudged slightly in Hybros' direction, and added out of the Imp's field of hearing: "Yeah... I'm kinda wondering what it does to ACTUAL demons." Guts turned his head back to Tarn, and said: "The least it can give is a full night of clear sleep, you look like you could use that as well. "

Awesome photo's and presentation in general, Khorne. Can I hire you for my next quest?

Rufus, can you please be more clear as of your action next time? Results of Round Nine of the Warehouse Battle: Boomingham vs. Metasimian (Halberd) - Critical Hit (WP:9 x 2 + Level 18 + 4 extra power = 40 damage x 2 = 80 damage dealt) Rufindel heals Skrall - Heal More (WP:10 x 2 + level 13 = 33 Health healed, 1 ether) Atramor vs. Metasimian(Scroll and Spear) - Poisoned Hit (WP:10 + Level 21 /2 = 16 damage dealt) Ellaria heals Nyx - Nurture (WP: 10 + Level 16 = 26 Health healed, 1 ether) Skrall does nothing. Nyx uses Remedy on Atramor. Metasimian (Scimitar and Shield) - Free hit against Boomingham (32 + 5 SP - 26 = 11 Health) 18 - 7Counterstrike Damage Metasimian (Flail) - Free hit against Rufindel (23 + 2 SP - (18/2) = 14 Health) Finally things seem to go slightly well for the Heroes, Boomingham continues to drive the Halberdeer back, and manages to get another slice in, dealing quite a bit of damage, he has to quickly parry an attack from his side, which strains his arm, but he ripostes and deals some damage back. Rufindel heals his target this time, the big ogre, but does not see the Metasimian with the flail coming, and thus suffers a hit from his weapon. Atramor hits his opponent, but not poisoning him more than already happened. Ellaria finally gets her heal off, and nurtures Nyx succesfully. Skrall stands back, and Nyx throws a remedy at Atramor, who turns his head when Nyx calls, causing the vial to break right on his forehead, causing tiny cuts from the glass and causing the liquid to spew all over his face and into his nose. At least he is no longer slowed. Two of the remaining opponents suffer poison damage. Enemies: Metasimian "Slim"(Halberd) "I not feel so good."

OOh, ooh! My love, may I ask why you think that?

Ooh, ooh! Good points were made, insufficient defense was given. Vote: Carly Cow (Tamamono)

Don't count on it, for the foreseeable future, Atramor's stuck getting his megablocks kicked by monkeys.

Guts puts up a small notice, that reads: WILL BUY MITHRIL SHARDS AND AMETHYSTS, COME SEE GUTS HOLLA.

"Of course, I have already counted out the coin, here you go." Guts reached into his coat and gave Hybros a coinpurse containing 200 gold, and accepted the Mithril Shard. "Feel free to count it out, and have a drink, while you are it." Guts, seemingly out of nowhere, put a second mug on the table, and poured in both from his unmarked bottle. The others could smell the strong scent of alcohol, and a hit of something else, a herb maybe.

Guts held his head with one hand, the other hand resting on the hilt of his dagger "Bloody hell Valco. What were you thinking? Fighting your fellow "heroes"? You... All of you who took part in this... Should be ashamed. You acted like common mercenaries, how I hear it. I need a drink." Guts shoved aside the flagon with a look of disgust, to the others at the table it was clear that look was not meant at the drink. Guts walked to the bar, and returned shortly with a wooden mug and a bottle of a to the others unknown spirit.
