Rather than attacking, Arthur uses another Ice spell to freeze the hallway behind the guard, making it very difficult to walk or even stanr. "I've been waiting to get this information to the Emperor for FAR too long! If you insist on standing in my way, your blood is on your own head!" Count Knyghton, meanwhile levels his crossbow at the guard from the back row, and, with a murmured apology, opens fire. Luke casts a Light spell from the Back Row, with even more hesitation than Knyghton had shown. Battle Order Arthur Alexandre Knyghton Luke

"Yis, I agree wi' tha laddie. Bring on tha redshuirts!" Yes, I agree with the boy. Bring on the redshirts!

"Ah! I've an idea! Wha don' we feed i' ta tha Puirists? We can afford ta risk them! " Ah! I have an idea! Why don't we feed it [the Dubious Chili] to the Purists? We can afford to risk them!

"Too complex. I am a rampaging, psychotic, sociopathic megablockshole, after all."

Arthur raises his staff to strike the door. "I've got one right here. Just keep playing the good cop."

"I don't feel like waiting." Arthur casts an Ice spell to freeze the door for 1 Ether, then signals the entire party to strike the door simultaneously to shatter it.

Arthur and the rest follow Alexandre through the door. Would Roland's information clear anything up, or simply muddy the waters further? "One way or another, things are coming to a head. We must be ready."

Does it say something bad about me that I've found new motivation for my character through his decision to snap an innocent guard's neck?

"Too late. Hey, you were the one willing to get into a noisy fight with him. This way was quieter. C'mon, let's go through."

Arthur waits until the guard with the message would be out of earshot, then uses his Scroll of Sleep to put the guard to sleep at the cost of one Ether. He then gently cradles the guard's neck before snapping it in one swift movement.

"Yes yes, all right Alex. Feh, you always were one to tolerate incompetence in others..." Arthur goes along with Alexandre's plan.

...oh. That makes sense, then.

"We ALREADY told you, we have sensitive information concerning the activities of the Heroes of Heroica, idiot. If you MUST have a name, I'm the Battle Mage Arthur of the Rogue Lions."

"Oh, I see. You're the stupid one." Arthur rolls his eyes in a most exaggerated manner. "Hasn't the Emperor been secretly funding our movement this whole freaking time?" "Listen, either you tell the Emperor that the people HE hired to do his dirty work are waiting and get us in to see him in TWO minutes or I will PERSONALLY hang your intestines along the walls as interior decoration, you pompous, incompetent moron."

Sorry, I meant within game logic, should have made that clearer. Obviously it wouldn't affect it in mechanics. I.E. would the Sealing still seal their mouth shut, in that case?

"Aye, sirr. In my reckonin', I'd say we're tha moost impuirtant members o' tha crew! " Agreed, sir. In my view, I'd say we're the most important members of the crew!

"Already on it," Arthur says with a wink; Poletad is already hidden. "Indeed. Surely the Emperor is aware of the current...arrangement with our knights. We bring urgent news of the activities of several Heroes of Heroica in the realm--news that is for the Emperor's ears only. Do you understand, or will we have to inform the Emperor that you've unnecessarily detained and delayed some of his most vital allies?"

I'll be off and on today, if the plot needs to move forward, Zeph or Doc or JimB can dictate Arthur and Knyghton's actions.

"Run fer yer lives!"

Duly noted, do spoilers work or should I just use this color? "Ah, mebbe ye're righ'. Next time, we use tha name bran' lube." Ah, maybe you're right. Next time, we use the name brand lube.

"Oi! Don' ye be questionin' tha authority o' tha Admiral an' tha Uni'ed Earth Nevvy!" Hey! Don't question the authority of the Admiral and the United Earth Navy! "Ih's b'cause I beat ya at droonk strip poker a' tha ship's lounge las' week, 'member?" It's because I beat you at drunk strip poker in the ship's lounge last week, remember?

"Och, ye tell 'em, sir! Th' daft Purists'll be outed befuir ye know it, joos leave it ta oos!" Translation: Ah, you tell 'em, sir! The crazy Purists will be outed before you know it, just leave it to us! Note: further translations will appear in white and/or in so as not to clutter things. "Ah, I'd bes' intr'duce meself. I'm Lieutenant Zachary Jones, junior engineer o' this fine wessel. Reportin' fer du'y, sirs!" Ah, I'd best introduce myself. I'm Lieutenant Zachary Jones, junior engineer of this fine vessel. Reporting for duty, sirs!

"Yes, once we have the disguises." Arthur waits with the rest of the party, and helps the rest of the party put on their disguises. once everyone is suited up, he leads the party to Emperor Roland. EDIT: I'll be off and on today, if the plot needs to move forward, Zeph or Doc or JimB can dictate Arthur and Knyghton's actions.

It's a gem with all of the things all of the Elements. It HAS to summon something crazy and QM-created. :D
