Or worse, if our blocker gets us to bandwagon our doctor! Say, has anyone seen any Zeltrons around here? I'd really like to see some Zeltrons... Not to mention the attempted use of Occam's Razor! Vote: The_Customizer

Holy. Freakin'. Heck. Dude, you could upgrade Zoot's Reaper to something like WP: 16 with that, and still have enough Gold to upgrade all your throwing weapons to WP:6!

Assuming Lion Pikemen D move out of the way, Imperial Pikemen B will move into the hex currently occupied by Lion Pikemen D, and Crossbowmen B will move into the hex currently occupied by Imperial Pikemen B.. OOC: Would a position atop hills, by any chance, increase line-of-sight to two hexes when you are on top of them?

Really? For me, the lag just ended about five minutes ago. May just be my end, as far as lag goes, though.

Another long one, went from sometime around 4:15 PM Pacific to at least 4:30 PM, possibly a bit later. EDIT: Yeah, I think we're all talking about the same thing... It should be noted, EB was REALLY laggy in between the 2:30-3:00 outage and the 4:00-ish outage...

Arthur follows Skrall's orders. "You can do this, men!"

Happened again, sometime between 2:30 PM Pacific time and 3:00 PM PAcific time (I didn't watch the clock too closely, sorry.

"Actually, now that I think of it, perhaps Master Skrall and I should take a unit of crossbowmen each, Master Alexandre and Miss Isabella should take a Knight unit each, and each of us should take a unit of pikemen, though which ones I cannot say. I would be willing to take a unit of Imperial Pikemen."

Quick, ask him how many Power Roles there are and see if he starts fishing for names!

"Master Skrall, if I may? I would suggest a unit of crossbowmen, two units of Knights, and a unit of pikemen, this would be ideal." OOC: If another unit of Lion Pikemen drops to half health in battle, when we get back to base can we combine that unit with the other half-health unit to get a full-strength unit?

We're just goofing off; none of it is serious.

Now you know how I felt halfway through every "preparation" period on Quest 17.

Wait a minute, stop playing the game outside the day thread, you're going to get penalty votes!

Arthur followed, quiet and obedient, lost in thought.

"Anything else she mention that might be of help? Secret caves in the mountains, that sort of thing? Where did she learn about the legend of the Chimaera anyway?"

It's OK, I'm just glad I actually came up with an explanation for everything that actually tries to tie in to Arthur's existing backstory. Although, the more I look into it, the more messed-up I find out he is. And honestly, I'm extremely pleased with how Skrall's been playing this, it really helps me keep this story going without turning completely into Spider-Man 3 Peter Parker.

"With all respect, Your Majesty, I feel it would be more conducive to your safety to keep the pedestal with us, and to publicly remove it and all other potential chimaera-producing artifacts from your palace. It's the artifacts they want, so they'll come after us instead of you. As an added benefeit, if we have to deal with any unrulay mages--" at this he shoots a dirty look at Arthur "--we'll be prepared. Besides, I look good with a 'shield.'" He chuckles at his little joke. Arthur does not. "I'll do my duty, you can count on that, Master Skrall," Arthur said in a quiet voice. "No matter what the cost."

More accurately, it's because Arthur tortured and then ate that Rebel. Unless someone asks about Arthur's backstory, I think I've done all my setup now. The only difference is that Count Knyghton no longer trusts Arthur, and Arthur's all...emo moody now. That may have been one of the strangest scenes I've ever had to play.

"Glad to know it's him and not Wren. Ever since we came to this godsforsaken desert, I haven't been able to stop thinking about her, and home, and Chaos." "Shut it, mage. If you're so worried abou' darkness an' evil, why'd ya torture and eat that Rebel?" "I don't know. Something's not right here. I've been feeling...strange...ever since I saw that thing at Bric'bay." "The thing no one else saw?" "The 'thing' that sent De'kra into a coma and amnesia any time I mentioned it. It was a sign...I...I shouldn't be here. I just want to go home..." Arthur breaks down crying. "What, a 'great' Hero like yerself wantin' ta run home ta Eubric? Quit the act, ya clone freak." Knyghton turns to Skrall. "I, uh, borrowed tha' book about yer Quests, Skrall. I couldn't make sense o' it, but it mentioned somethin' about evil clones o' folks? Anyhow, thought ya might be one o' them, an' in league with tha Rebels, but now I'm inclined ta think otherwise. Arthur here, on the other hand..." "Eubric's not my home. I'm not a coward, and I'm not a fool. I know what you think I am. Thing is...I'm starting to think you may be right. Not a clone, per se, but..." He pauses. "I don't feel like myself. Like there's a part of me that's...evil. That's takin' over. Look, I'm not backing out of the Quest but, if any of you think I can't be trusted, I understand if you want to leave me behind, or tie me up or something. I'd do the same in your position. Now, if any of you want to waste your time dealing with a foolish Mage like me, go right ahead, but if you're not interested I suggest you get back to the Emperor before he starts to worry." "Firs' reason'ble thing he's said all day." Knyghton pushes past the others and heads back inside.

I have just one thing to say about that micro Vader: ...d'awwwwwwww!

I've got a nasty mid-Quest boss in the works based pretty much around RotMG... Well, that and Order of the Stick, which demonstrates clearly one of the most horriffic attacks an enemy can perform on a player.

You mean a critical pirouette? Sorry, couldn't resist!

"You saw what he did, back at the camp. He's not right. Either somethin's really messed 'im up, or it's not really him." "What are you talking about, Knyghton?" "I'm talkin' about tha Tethusial, 'Arthur.'" "The Tethusial? What did...?" Arthur suddenly recalls what happened. His face goes white, he drops the books he had been holding, and he rushes outside. The sounds of heavy vomiting can be heard. Knyghton rounds on Skrall. "As fer you, I'm begginin' ta wonder abou' you as well. You seem ta know an awful lot o' things tha rest of us don't. Apparently there's traitors all 'round, here, and until I figure out who ta trust, I'm trustin' no one, aside from Luke." He turns to the Sage. "Keep an eye on tha Emperor, friend. The so-called 'Heroes' an' I are goin' outside ta have a little chat." The moment the group was out of the Emperor's earshot, he stops the party. Arthur is slumped against the wall, across from the mostly-digested remains of his meal. "All righ', both of ya, the truth. All o' it. Now. We can start with you, ogre, since yer askin us ta trust you with leadership. Start talkin'."
