Results of Round 7 of the Basement battle. Cronk vs. Scorpion - Shield Guardian Angel Nyx vs. Rat B - Greater Spell Atramor vs. Rat B Scorpion - Shield Mug Rufindel uses Scroll of Sealing on Poisonous Snake B - not successful. Cronk starts the round off by once again calling forth his Guardian Angel. Nyx shows off her skill by completely blasting the rat to bits with her magic wind spell, at the cost of 1 ether. The blast causes Atramor, who failed to hit the rat for so long, to be covered with the blood of the rat, along with the innards of the other creatures Nyx caused to explode in gory mess. The perplexed rogue recovers quickly, and switches his attack to the Scorpion, which he stabs right through the body, dealing enough damage to take it out. For some reason, Atramor sees a bag with 36 gold lying next to his feet, which he quickly grabs. Rufindel tries out his Scroll of Sealing, but unfortunately, he can not get the spell off.

The irony!

I have considered it. and it were two posts.

And you release that 4 days after I place my order . They look great!

There is a slight difference between 'humour' and 'stupidity'. 1337speak, or whatever that was, falls in the second category, as far as I am concerned.

Alternate account of one of the staff? And he is not funny, by the way.

Maybe 'Sandy' is two people! It would explain so much!

I would love to see a quest along the lines of this: There is a fortified castle, that needs to be captured, for some reason. The heroes are given a handful of npcs, to train or to work, several things to start with, an explorable land/island and a couple of game-months (?). During this time, they need to prepare for the assault as best they can, being as creative and resourceful as they can be. What do people think?

I thought it was a general rule, but after some reading, I found out I was wrong, I will fix it next turn, thanks for pointing it out.

Considering the other 'males' are either animals or a wooden puppet, I won't get your hopes up

Don't get me wrong, I was not bashing Brickdoctor or the players in any way. I was just wondering if the XP reward was not excessive (Which I still think it is). And to clear things up: For roleplaying with great detail, especially when mentioned beforehand, hell yeah you should get XP. I just think that you should be (more?) careful with handing it out.

"I suggest we move on to the important bits. If I remember correctly, Mr Silverpick, you mentioned an extra reward if we did well? We have explored your entire mine, every tunnel, every corner. And we have dealt with any threat we could find, so how about it?"

With all due respect, looking for wikipedia for siege engines, meh. Last thing ill say about all this, about the second point, how about this: "Sirs! On the last wave, one of the enemies' artillery strikes has breached a forgotten chamber, here is a chest we found there!"

My opinion is this: You should have thought of a different reward, here is why: For example, it seems kind of... unfair, If for example in quest 23, the heroes are fighting a week long battle for half a level, and someone gets 2 in 2 days for writing 2 lines of text. Also, Sandy's system for xp is really good, because it basically is the fairest system you can get, for this sort of thing. If you wanted unique rewards, I would have given character customization (things like +power or something) or just think of a few items. I think the XP should just be from winning the battles, because obviously not all quests are going to have this sort of thing, and who is to judge of what is creative?(In other quests I mean) Last thing I'll say, I like your quests, they are very good, but you want the quality and setting to be a reason people sign up, not the rewards...

Sure, I get that, but that does not disprove my point. For example, Sloop's character is level 3 already, without even having fought a battle, and joining a few days ago, and Volcanicpanik's character just got 2 levels in 2 days for instructing soldiers? It just does not seem balanced/fair, however you want to put it.

I'm not sure I approve of all the free xp. Sure, if your quest is low on battles, or the battle take very long, you could add a different way to earn xp, but this just seems easy/random to me. Prove me wrong, but that is what it looks like, to me... I personally think the levelling from battles should be it, but yeah...

Nyx opens the chest on the right, and... as soon as she opens it, the book she looked at earlier starts to glow, and creatures start pouring out of the chest! PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

There does not seem to be a title on the cover of the book, and opening it reveals that the book is in a language none of the heroes understand. On the cover are drawings of what seems to be a spider, and on the back a lizard. Nyx can not hear anything in any of the chests.

Sarcasm smilies are for the weak. Sorry if it was not clear!
