Or we could just talk to Miles and Keiko O'Brien from ST:TNG and ST:DS9.

Heroica RPG - Quest#66: WANTED! Steerpike the Poisoner
Flipz replied to Sandy's topic in The Heroica Archive
"Unfortunately, the bastards are immune to Jinxed." I wonder why? -
For me, I'd still want LEGO just for LEGO, but it would help remove the "parts ceiling" that I've experienced in trying to build MOCs as part of the AFOL community. You see, most of the MOCs I see here and on Flickr are MASSIVE, and require HUGE supplies of many different parts, supplies that I don't yet have the funding to amass. Thus, I find myself resigned to minifig design, small diorama builds that don't really merit their own topic, and virtual LDD builds. With 3D printing, however, I could print out backdrops and support structures compatible with LEGO, and then use my own collection to add a façade and details--sort of like how I used the Aqua Raiders baseplates and DUPLO bricks as a kid to help me build larger buildings when I knew I wouldn't have enough regular brick. Likewise, if I had the parts to build a section of wall but not the full length, I could scan what I built, and then duplicate it in cheap "throwaway" plastic to extend the length so I could get the photo I want, and then throw away the excess when I'm done.

OOC: As it has been more than 24 hours since LordoftheNoobs last posted, can we assume that Grimwald follows orders and attacks the Cosmosaur? I know we can't do anything about Kiray since she already posted her action, but... -
Nerwen is just so interesting, she always makes decisions you wouldn't expect of her.

As the above poster noted, this is basically the story of Data and Lore from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I, however, think this wouldn't be so bad; Zane DOES, after all, follow many of the same tropes as Data, and I'm certain there have been a few Shout Outs to Data via dialogue. The Lore counterpart will likely outmatch Young!Evil!Lloyd in terms of annoying-ness*, but there are plenty of good aspects to that storyline as well, so I wouldn't mind seeing a new take on it--provided it's new ENOUGH to make it distinct from the original. *because Lore himself was obnoxious in the extreme, and given Young!Evil!Lloyd as a baseline any counterpart could only be worse.

OOC: See the edit to my previous post. "I don't know...that's the worrying part. I hope this means the Wolfgang will be too weak to show their faces in this city for a while, but even I'm not that naively optimistic. It's likely that the other criminal elements, such as the Blood Paw and the Metasimian gangs, will move into the area...or worse, we may have somehow played into Ulric's plan. I hope desperately that that is NOT the case." -

"Masters Grimwald, Nastay, and Bishop, might I suggest you switch to the Cosmosaur instead? It can't harm you, and we need to take it down as fast as we can; additionally, it would leave the Chaosaur open to Nagure's Counterstrike."

I honestly have Drake on my forum "ignore" list. If he tries to interact with Arthur, canonically it doesn't actually happen, and I'll just ignore anything he tries to do. He's shown zero respect for other players' roleplaying at all, so in my book his character doesn't exist. Just for the record, it takes a lot to make me do that to someone. A lot.

Surprisingly, no. I have a set goal of Gold that I need to pay debts and make deals, and anything after that is bonus. That said, all other things being equal, if I can arrage things so I have more chances to earn Gold, I'll go with that. (You may have noticed that I was consistently putting Sorrow after me in the Battle Orders--that was because 1. we could easily take the Free Hits, and 2. because I wanted a shot at Magnetic Mojo-ing them before Sorrow assassinated them EVERY SINGLE TIME. ) Really, though, Sorrow has been epic this Quest, he really managed to nail pretty much everything he hit for instant kills, and even when he didn't Assassinate, it still hurt.

Well, yes, but it's better for you this way. Besides, you aren't even supposed to attack at all unless it's absolutely necessary, given...stuff. I'll shut up now. -

"Good point. I sometimes forget I'm not a Sage." Arthur blushes, then prepares to physically attack the Cosmosaur twice from the Front Row with the Staff of Ennon. "I really need to upgrade this thing..." "Agreed. Should I focus on dealing more damage, or should I use the staff to recover Ether so I can cast more scroll spells? And does anyone want their weapon Deadly Poisoned?" -

Doc. If you recall, you don't want to be able to damage Undead-type enemies, remember? -
Found the full version: http://vimeo.com/34924096 VERY interesting talk, I recommend it as well.

"Indeed. Violetta and Donny Dozenhands are both gone as well." If only there had been another way... "If only Ulric himself had showed his face...we could have felled the entire beast tonight in one blow. As it stands, he has apparently discovered a 'queen' for himself, one the other generals described as a 'witch'. I assume these are hers?" Arthur asks Boomingham, indicating the overgrown lizards in front of them. -

Arthur nods seriously to Boomingham, and focuses even more intently upon his actions. "Might I suggest putting Sorrow's first action before Nagure's, so Nagure can benefit from being Lucky and perhaps Encourage us all? If it comes down to it, it'd probably be best if he went before me as well this Round."

Arthur simply nods to Nyx, sensing that words would be of little use here. OOC: Just realized, the Cosmosaur should be Bleeding. -
Wow... There are not a lot of things that would make me willingly relinquish internet access...but to get pics like that might just be worth it.

"That would be Sir Thothwick, a brave, polite, and loyal warrior, with good instincts and an exceptionally perceptive mind. He's a good Metasimian to know, and a better one to befriend." Arthur exchanges a glance with Thothwick, and smiles hopefully. Arthur leans in to whisper to Boomingham, but to his surprise the Paladin was still wrestling with the Cosmosaur. He leans over to the Paladin's angel instead. "Excuse me, please tell Lord Boomingham that NEXT Round Nagure should go first, and his second attack should be from the Back Row. That way he can absorb most of the Chaosaur's hits, leaving me free to Blind and Seal the Cosmosaur this Round so that NEXT Round the other Heroes can join us in pummeling it. Please be sure to emphasize the NEXT Round part, we don't want to send the weaker Heroes to an early grave." Switching Scrolls again, Arthur casts Blindness and Sealing against the Cosmosaur, hoping desperately he'd be successful. However, when he sees Lady Nyx cradle her shoulder in pain, he turns to her without hesitation. "Lady Nyx, allow me." Arthur's Actions (formatted for convenience ) >Arthur uses Grand Potion on Nyx (Back Row) >Arthur (Scroll of Sealing) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) >Arthur (Scroll of Sealing) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) OR if already Sealed, (Scroll of Blindness) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) >Arthur (Scroll of Sealing) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) OR if already Sealed, (Scroll of Blindness) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) OR if already Blind, (Earth, Unlucky Horseshoe) vs. Cosmosaur (Back Row) -
Is it bad that I can't picture Dreyrugr as anything but a writer now?

"Lord Boomingham, is Lady Nyx all right? She seems awfully quiet..." Arthur murmurs to Boomingham as he moves to fire a spell over the Paladin's shoulder. He looks over to the Battle Mage, concern over her silence etched upon his face. If something had happened...

"With the weaker Heroes present here, might I suggest we take out the Chaosaur first? I know it'll be difficult, but they can't take many rounds of its passive special. Just a thought. I'll keep doing what I've been doing unless you order me otherwise, though." "Work, damn you, work!" he mutters, shaking his Scroll. He repeats his previous actions. -
He wants to know what the hell happened, how is asking him to fight dinosaurs explaining what happened?!?
