Alright, Ill make Rufindel heal nyx.

Yes, But I have no idea what Rufus would do, there are a couple of people that could use some healing, so...

Can I get an action from Rufus, please, so I can move my quest along? , If it's a problem, can maybe Pandora do his actions if needs be?

Guts moves onward to the tunnel they had not explored yet!

I'm confused now

We were talking about the mechanics of the Battle Mage, something else entirely .

Oh, I did not see the your weapon is Light elemental. In that case, you would be right :)

I don't think thats right... You are assuming you are level 15, your WP is 8, and the gem is extra effective, correct? WP = 8 x 2 = 16. + level 15 =31 + same elemental damage= 31, double that for being extra effective, and you get 31 + 62 = 93 damage. Still a lot ;)

Makes me wonder, does Thotwick have any ties to Eubric's Metasimian gang? Or does Byblos?

The Metasimian Swordsman is my new favorite character in the Heroica RPG

"All right then. Does, uhm, the voice in the sky have two options where we can go?"

I think CMP meant these posts. Note to LEGOman273, you can not post in the library while on a quest, since the library is part of the hall, and you certainly can not make magical letters :/ . @xxlrocka If you have read the first post of the treasury, you can see the topic is to make it easy to see what every item does/means, it is an index, of sorts.

I already have some thoughts on two of the advanced classes, QM'ing them really makes it good to see how they work. Battle-Mage: It is an interesting class, It works quite well, the Spellblade shield effect is nicely done, and I definitely like how the magic counter works, but the only gripe I have with it is that the player will probably always stay in the back row, casting spells like a normal mage. (This actually is not that smart, as the Shield effect is 1/4 stronger when in the front row). And the Battle-Mage will always never use its weapon, unless it is out of ether, but that is not a big deal, I feel. Keep it as is!. Paladin: I like it, it is basically the best class for all-round. It can take hits, so its ok to be first to take free-hits, it can heal allies and self, and it can deal decent damage as well. And that is my tiny problem with it. I fear BECAUSE it can do all these things, it will be chosen a lot. There is no problem with that, because it is actually nicely balanced, I feel. It's offensive damage is not super, which is good , otherwise, it would not be balanced. Having seen only these two advanced classes, I think these are very balanced and fun to play around with. I hope the others are as balanced as this, it is a bit tricky to figure that out without actually rolling the dices in battles, and of course there is always the luck part... But yeah, keep up the good work Sandy!

He has become a solid force in the party, and once again heals for 11, at the cost of 1 ether. Nyx gets hit by the Metasimian's blade however, taking 8 damage, but she counters his attack with a darkness bolt that deals 16 damage right away, at the cost of 1 ether. Cronk tries to bash his foe, but in his frustration he does not pay attention to his opponent's feet, and is kicked down by the swordsman, taking 7 damage.

I don't suppose the digging got us anything? ;) "Alright, so what are our options from here?"

Loot, according to me, not taking in account mugs: Knifk 10 gold, Venom, Bedroll Tarn 10 gold, Ruined Map Dak 10 gold, Mead Aberforth: Ruby, 15 gold, Potion, Venom Guts 10 gold, Venom, Potion Dek'ra 10 gold Dek'ra definitely got the least loot so far, with Tarn right behind him, as I don't the map actually does anything.

"That went surprisingly well. Good job." Guts digs for treasure.

Oh, I missed that Atramor used his Shiv to throw, he basically cannot use it now... right, he would need to spend a turn to pick it up?

Results of Round 8 of the Metasimian-Gang Battle Cronk heals Atramor - No Healing Rufindel heals Nyx - Heal Less Atramor vs. Metasimian (Sword) - Miss Nyx vs. Metasimian (Crossbow) - Shield Spellblade Cronk tries to heal his new friend, Atramor, but is distracted, and fails. Rufindel has more luck, and manages to heal Nyx for 11, at the cost of 1 ether. Atramor charges once again at the swordman, but he simply steps aside, leaving Atramor to hit nothing. Nyx gets her act together, and first hits the guy with the crossbow with her weapon, and then a magic attack shortly after, knocking out the crossbowman. Only one enemy remains...

Battle order please?

What is the deal with everyone wanting pet-sidekicks all of a sudden. If you are going to do it, do it carefully. And also since they don't serve any useful purpose in Heroica, their only use is comedic value, using them as character development is a bit lazy, to be honest. So please, think carefully if you want a comedic sidekick. Look at Atramor and his chicken, Althior and Finnegan or Boomingham and Barty for how it is done right .

Im assuming Cronk bashes swordsman from the front row ;) Results of Round 7 of the Metasimian-Gang Battle Rufindel heals Atramor - Heal Less Cronk vs. Metasimian(Sword) - Damage Atramor vs. Metasimian(Sword) - Damage Nyx vs. Metasimian(Crossbow) - Magic Counter Rufindel heals his roguish companion for 11 points, at the cost of 1 ether. Cronk and Atramor once again try to break through the swordsman's defenses, but they fail. The swordsman's blade is larger than Cronk and Atramor's weapons, and he is as strong as Cronk, and as fast as Atramor. Two quick strikes against the heroes bring them back a notch. The blade of his sword hits Cronk's helmet, causing him to take 7 damage, and the Metasimian hits Atramor on his head with his weapon's pommel, dealing 14 damage. Another crossbow bolt finds his way to Nyx, causing her to take 7 damage, but Nyx automatically responds with a magic darkness bolt, dealing 14 damage back to the crossbowman, at the cost of 1 ether. The battle has certainly taken a turn for the worse, and the voice in the sky loves it.

"Hehe, Wrong. Killing them is not what I meant... But let's just kill this thing, and worry about the fun stuff later."

"Hehe, I might even be able to teach you a few things. And believe me, the smaller the weapon, the more damage you can possibly do... Heh."
