"Likely story, Why would Lord Macros be expecting you bunch? I don't think so. I think you are just a bunch of looters attempting to fool me, Phoebus Equitablé!"

Thanks, the pictures are all taken with a four year old phone, often without good lighting in the room, so yeah.

Thank you, although I'm pretty sure I've copied the idea from somewhere else.

those that need it get some well deserved rest. When the party wakes up, they reckons it's morning. The four non-heroes are gone, but they left a single note, that says: "Northernmost Gate". The party gets up, does their thing, and they start walking towards Macros' Mansion. Eventually they find it. It's not that hard to find, as it is a big place. There are two guards in front of the gate, what does the party want to do?

Nyx's Book was the original. Before the weapon categories were actively enforced. If a new weapon category is made, why allow Pandora to choose if she wants her weapon to fall into that category?

"The Bonapartes can go pleasure themselves with their cannons. We're not here for getting a ship back, we're here to take out the Wolfgang, and take away the possible danger of this vault. Nothing more. I have seen no trace of Lorenzo or his crappy ship, and I am not going to waste my time looking for a man that could be half the world away."

There is no effect.

Paralyzing Venom, Venom x6 "Yes, we should. Let's go back to hideout." And so they do. After yet another completely unremarkable walk back to the secret temple, they discuss the day's events, and tomorrow's. "Right. So you will go to Macros' mansion, influence the politicians, or not, just make it through without pissing everyone off. Meanwhile, the rest of us will prepare the journey into the desert. We'll need mounts, water among other things. Better weaponry than this old caravan guard's garb. If you have anything to ask or discuss, now is the time, After you've got the passes we shall go straight there. If not, I suggest you rest up, you'll need it. Oh, and one more thing. Thank you, for saving Zoë." "Yes, I thank you, Heroes. I don't say all that much, but we can now finally finish this job, and I look forward to the end."

Oh I see. I do nothing of the sort. I thought maybe it was the fact that Phoenix Essences could insta-kill an undead monster (can they, actually?).

"I would act surprised... But I'm not. If you see my brother, you should lay this in front of him, and see his reaction."

What is the correlation, between those two, if I may ask? Between undead and insta-kill, I mean.

"If you ever find a single city without thugs, corrupt lawmen and imprisoned women, let me know... There's the problem. My brother cares more about presentation than content, what will he do if he has the throne? He wants to open the city's gates wide and free, lower the taxes on foreign ships, and allow everyone to be in the city wherever they want. You know Strivvi's reputation. Would you want Slavers and Pirates running through the streets, wreaking havoc, having the villages outside the walls that support us for meat and crops be in ruins? I have no nice presentation for you, but I will try to rule as my father did, justly, and with sense."

"You're a Hero of Heroica, why do you care who is the leader of Strivvi? Isn't it your spiel to get the job done with the most loot as quickly as possible? No offense. But very well, I'll tell you this: my brother is one of finest soldiers to ever be born in Strivvi, but ruling, is not the same as fighting a war. My brother's education consists of military training and storytelling by a fire. I am effectively ruling from the Sandstone palace already, the city is still doing well. I am the most qualified. YOU should support me, because I've promised you the passes, and my brother has done no such thing. I also helped you save Zoë. No big deal, and you're welcome."

So... Those grating stones are cheap as chips. I want some. Grating stones, that is. I'm good, for chips.

I see I forgot to include them in the picture very well. hm. "Roman dead... I see. Let me grab some clothes, we should be quick." As she says, she quickly puts on a dress that lays in a bucket, maybe to be washed, maybe belonging to one of the girls. "Don't worry, the spell should wear off in minutes, but the illusion has been shattered. Let's go." The heroes (and the three non-heroes) rush downstairs. Ignore Maxis in the picture. A man with long hair greets Maxis. "Ah there you are, I was about to go looking for you, sir, you had me worried when you went upstairs with that... Brute and did not come back." "I'm sure. You talk too much." Maxis pulls out a dagger from his belt, and in one smooth movement, slices the other man's throat! Shrieks and screams echo through the common room, as the dead man falls to the floor. Maxis turns to the bartender. "This man has betrayed me, and the city of Strivvi. His sentence is dead. Inform the captains, and have someone take care of the body." "But... He.. Edward... He was your most trusted advisor! He... He.." "Enough. I'll have figured out what your role in all this is, so if you want to keep your throat intact, be very, very helpful. Heroes, my apologies you had to see this, I'll explain outside." The heroes go outside, where they meet up with Nyx and Boomingham. The party is together once again! Zoë falls in the arms of Purple, clearly having some kind of moment. "Roman... Didn't make it. They shot both of you, but he died, and they took you... I'm so sorry." Zoë only nods, and leans against the wall. "So you did it. Very well. With Zoë back, the location of the Wolfgang base and the Keystone in hand, there is only one more thing we need. Passes to go in and out of the city. Perhaps your new friend can arrange that? And you are going to Macros' party tomorrow, correct? Either of them could provide passes, I would think." "Yes, both me and my brother can freely give out passes. This is true. I feel like I owe you an explanation. The spell used in the Bathhouse seemed very familiar to me, when it broke and the girls changed back to their original form, it was confirmed for me. This was the work of Edward the Free, Strivvian Wizard and my most trusted advisor, or so he'd liked to think. It was his spell that controlled Zoë, and the others girls there. I assume you have no quarrel with how I handled the situation. Now, onto the favour I wanted in exchange for my help, and possibly the passes. As you apparantly know, my brother hosts a party at his villa tomorrow. He will try to win over Captains to his side. I need you to prevent this from happening. No violence, no threats, no magic, just make sure my brother does not get his paranoid fingers in the captain's minds. I was going to arrange for a cover as a foreign trade negotiation party from the Nord for you, but it seems like you have already got an invitation, so that is unnecessary. If at the end of the day, the now contested captains have not sided with my brother, I will gladly give you all the Passes you might need to exit and enter the city." "Hmpf. It seems to me you can either take Maxis up on his deal, or you can probably get the passes from Macros. Red, blue, doesn't matter much, the end result is the same."

If a Regulator's OP-ness is not magic I don't know what is. "The last thing I remember is approaching the building of an official working with the Wolfgang, along with Roman and Purple. Now you're here, I'm here... Wherever this is, I'm wearing... Not very much, and my colleagues are nowhere to be seen. What happened?" "It worked then, he's right. We should get out of here. We can go right through the common room. There's someone I need to see there."

"A suicide mission?! Old man, check your words. I left the planning how to approach this in YOUR hands, you opted to leave me outside, carrying buckets towards a fire you created. You and Nyx went in together and did who knows what, ever think of blaming me again, and I'll make sure the Town Watch will think twice about rewarding your nonsense. I swear, if Zoë is hurt, you will be sorry. You better hope you are right." Skrall, Ellaria & Atramor "Very well. Brace yourselves. This may be... uncomfortable." Maxis takes the tonics, and gulps them down. The ether almost noticably in the air, the nobleman closes his eyes and starts focussing. Seconds later, the air in the room seems to change. What could best be described as a cold wave washes over the heroes. Skrall doesn't notice much difference, but Ellaria feels her magical powers disappear, and Atramor's arcane strength fades as well. The faint glow in the gems the Heroes' weapon carry dim, and powerful artifacts become useless keepsakes... And then, it is over. The heroes did not notice it getting darker, but all of a sudden the room lights up again. There are a few things different. Four of the girls that looked like Zoë seem unconcious, and from what the heroes can see, their features different. The four metal ornaments in the wall have smoke coming out of them, the other girls haste towards the unconcious ones, and the last Zoë, the one in the chair by the bookcase... She slumps forward, and looks drained, but is concious, she blinks a few times, and looks up at the heroes. "Heroes...? What... Explain, now."

Nyx & Boomingham It actually turns out that Boomingham can NOT cope with the damage thrown at him, and he goes down too... The battle is lost!

They're outside the building, feeling groggy and weak. It seems they got thrown out. The heroes quickly check their pockets, but luckily for them, everything seems to be there. They can be glad neither was carrying the Keystone, they reckon. Purple is standing over them. "I just saw a guard come out and throw you out here, what happened? Where are the others, where is Zoë?"

"Very well, as I said, I'd need 25 points of ether from tonics to be able to succesfully cast it. It's quite a resource intensive spell."

Should have stayed in the cave.

I can do it too! It's a secret. But fuck it, I ain't telling you jack.

It will affect you and your items as well, but the effects should wear off soon. I suspect the spell will disrupt whatever magick is going on here, so we can, hopefully, rescue your friend." Ellaria goes round the other girls that have not yet introduced themselves. "I'm Mel, Zoë? Who is that, a cliënt, a high roller maybe?" "I'm Bella. Zoë... I know a ... Oh no wait, that's a CHLOË... Sorry, no." "Sara, I don't sorry, but I can assure you I can outperform anyone named Zoë..."

Clearly your intention was to get it over with it. I pointed attention to the way that would be the quickest. Don't get your panties in a twist. Ill update, with every girl introducing themselves, later today. Me not getting stuff done is annoying for you, I am apologetic for that, and hope it wont happen again, but when things are moving, I see no reason for you to complain. If you need to be somewhere, you're free to go, I'm not keeping you or your character hostage. Just give me a shred of credit, okay?

The double water damage is just double his level. So 60 water damage. The ingredients take one random from each negative effect. So from the page in the statistics topic. There's a lot of different ones. If you want it to be over quickly, Maxis clearly gave you a fast option. The pie tastes very good. The girl sitting by the bookshelf shoots Skrall a weird look, but no one moves to interfere. If Skrall wanted, he could finish the whole cream pie by himself!
