Hybros narrows his eyes. "No! Leave the Sicarii, they can not harm us. Best to target other enemies right now!" He wiped the blood of his enemies on his cloak, which did not stain because of the color, and went after Acolytes A and D with his Sword of Ancestral Hatred. Red attacks Chemist B.

Okay. Then no, sorry MDM and Quarryman.

Hybros grimaces as both Guts and Wally go down. He uses a Phoenix Essence on Guts. "Get up, there is work to be done..." He then attacks Acolyte A (and B) with his Twin Kunai. Red attacks Chemist A. "Everyone leave the Sicarii, they can not harm us now." ...Right?

As MDM asked in the Fields of Glory, do heroes who had their gold stolen by an enemy special get it back? I would say no because then there would be no point in the special, but I didn't design the enemy, nor do I remember how these cases were treated in the past.

QM Note: MDM: I don't believe you get your gold back, unfortunately, but I'll have to double check that... I don't see the point of that special if you get your gold back anyway.

As retribution, the creature makes even Skrall look small and slams a huge rock fist into the ogre. Stigveladi whacks the Titan with her wand, but to little effect.

Yes.

Hybros attacks both Sicarii with his Eye-poking Sai from the back row. Red attacks Chemist A from the back row.

People can disagree with you, but it doesn't mean your opinion isn't heard.

Says you... Rolled Up Newspaper (WP:1, suitable to Hoke, must be equipped at all times, cannot be sold or dropped, is automatically the weapon that Enchantment upgrades).

Oh, gold stealing. I thought there was some way your items could get permanently stolen by enemies because of some new mechanic.

What new stealing mechanic?

Err... I would check your computer for bugs.

Actually I would be more okay with that one. You would have to spend a turn each giving her the gems, give up some spellcasting ability, and Alexis would not gain GP or XP. But yeah I know you guys will at least try to be fair about this.

No. That will result in permanent ban from Fields of Glory as well as forfeiture of any loot. Kidding of course. But come on, you guys are better than that.

"I will take care of the Apostle for now, perhaps you and that alchemist can deal with the Acolytes...."

Well it was worth a shot. Skrall doesn't have any Nostrums, by the way. The heroes prepare themselves as best they can for the upcoming trial: the third and final Threshold Monster. They come to an exit in the Forsaken Mine, and walk along a deep chasm for a while. It is a true mountain pass: there are no footholds on the enormous walls on either side of the narrow pathway, and the only way is forward. Eventually, the heroes come to a dormant rocky mass blocking the way. But it is no boulder; eyes suddenly light up on the face of the rock, and a huge, humanoid form rises from the ground. Crystals shine on its face and back, and it lets out a rumbling roar that causes the mountains themselves to tremble. It is the Crystal Titan of the North! PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!

OOC: Grrr. "Maurice, grab the device and stand in front of us to block the hits with your shield. You also really ought to put something useful in that glass sword of yours once this is finished, heheh." Red attacks Sicarii A from the back row.

"Red Assassins? No..." Hybros quickly uncorked and swallowed a Nostrum, and threw his Banana Bladerang at the Crimson Crown Apostle from the back row. Red grabs the device.

I don't get why the Hat would be of any use to you. All it would add would be immunity to cursed, which isn't a big deal unless you have Golden Armor or some other such thing. It's not like the Hat is specific to Guts' build, either. I disagree, Just because an item isn't designed specifically for your class or build, doesn't mean it isn't useful. Raider is a pretty straightforward class: deal as much damage as possible. Gold-stealing helps with buffing in order to do that. As it is, Guts has the most powerful weapon in the game, is immune to everything, etc., etc. And he was never at any shortage of gold; I remember before Raider was nerfed he gained 2000+ gold in one roll. The Dancing Shoes are an incredibly powerful item. And back to class-specific artifacts and items, and because Raider is simple, the only artifacts that would tie to that are Barbarian Boots or Sticky Gloves. I just don't see what there is to complain about when you have the strongest character in the game. Besides, this is only the beginning of the quest, maybe something cool will show up later.

The heroes rest and distribute the loot. QM CHALLENGE: Forgo the use of any consumables before and during the final Threshold battle for double Glory Points! (20 battles x2 for QM Challenge +10 for Threshold battle=50 total GP) QM Note: Yes you may retcon if you are planning on going to the Crystal Titan of the North now.

Yeah, I just want the Hat to free up my accessory spot. Plus Intimidation is nice. Yes? Hybros used that strategy, in combination with the Banana Bladerang, as far back as before Quest 50.

"Guts, I believe you are quite intimidating as it is... heheh... if it is the voodoo magic you are worried about, feel free to have my Blessed Amulet."

"Ehehm... that Black Hat could be useful for me..." Hybros said as he sheathed his weapons. He then looked around for the gnome photographer.

Again! "Right..." Hybros rolls his eyes as Guts misses the enemy and does a little dance to recover.

OOC: Red was in front to deal full damage, but I doubt it'll matter much. And if FInn was defeated by Hybros last round, SOAH should have gained 1 WP. "You may claim to be getting old, Guts, but it does not show much in battle, hehe." After slashing the Black Hat's eyes, Hybros sheathed his Sai and drew his Twin Kunai, copying Thalion's dual-wielding moves from the front row. Red attacks from the front row.
