Hybros nods. Pride in work, now that was something. "Nyx, I hope you come with us. You have a... strong heart, and we will need that when dealing with someone like Guffington, eheh." Hybros watched as a familiar U'Kin stepped into the Hall to post a notice to the Quest Board. "Well it appears we do not have to hope. Welcome to the team, Nyx." Hybros also noticed that he was marked as the party leader. It must have been some sort of mistake... clearly Guts was the better leader. But if it wasn't... he frowned, remembering the first and only time he lead a party, on his last quest. A failure.

Cookie to anyone who can fine the movie quote in my latest post in Heroica Hall.

Hybros shrugged. "It is just who he is. He has it where it counts." "Mmm, that would be one way of saying it. Another way would be to say some came here to find purpose." Hybros nodded. "I see. And what are your plans, Nyx? What do you hope to... accomplish here?" "No one knows anyone, not that well, eheh. I do not know if he is capable of murder, but I imagine many people would want to kill him for his money. Perhaps we are there to protect him." Hybros turned his head. "Thothwick, it has indeed been a long time. Since that... awful arena, eheh." He gave a simple wave to Hoptet, who seemed to be a little silent.

Seems a bit too complicated for me, why add another die roll to calculations when Counterstrike Gloves can do the same 100% of the time and without the added complication with elemental type match-ups?

It's a common marketing technique to make the product look its best in the pictures. I don't really have a problem with TLG's pictures - I enjoy the well-lit pictures that show the set elements in detail. I don't think there's any false advertisement as far as the condition of the pieces, either. They come shiny ( ) and get duller the more you touch them, and that is of course to be expected. However, I do think that it's an issue if entire colors are changed between the box art and official pictures and the actual set. I remember there being a huge problem with people getting dull gold coins in the first wave of Pirates of the Caribbean sets instead of the chrome ones shown on the box. After all, though, that issue was fixed with free chrome coins upon email or phone call to customer service, so so far I don't see a huge issue with any of TLG's representations of the sets.

Hybros watched Guts leave as he spoke. "...Yes, all three of us were asked for help from the Great Guffington, about a year ago. He is an... interesting man. He showed us his past, present... and perhaps even his future." Hybros omitted the part about the strange machine that allowed them directly into Guffy's dreams. "A man who has seen many times and places, and has riches beyond your imagination, yet has never lived a day in his life, if you can believe it, eheh. I am still unsure of what that means, but perhaps he felt as though he never gave much meaning to things." The imp reflected silently on that for a moment, comparing Guffington's ails to his. His entire life was dedicated to finding some meaning, perhaps with his own people, but... had the past fifty odd years truly been meaningless? "...Perhaps life you gives you meaning without you even knowing it..." he added. "And it will be interesting to see how Guffington has changed since we last saw him. An... extravagant event waits, it seems. I wonder what meaning that has to him. And there is the part about murder... what do you make of that?"

Totally agree. And while I don't mind it terribly, I do wonder sometimes what Docken would be like if we hadn't encouraged him to not roleplay. Of course that's Brickdoctor's prerogative. I know! I don't think Boomingham and Hybros have had much interaction since their very first quest. That needs to change. Aw thanks guys. I also like how Scuba's characterized his aging. Badass and still tough as nails, yes, but by the age of 45 there's no way you can match what you once were. I've seen people "pay back" Phoenix Essences before out of their own gratitude, but yeah, when you buy one don't expect to make any sort of return. They're purely support items. Only? That's five more than I need. Seriously, they're not really worth the investment for Assassins.

"Oh I see... hehehe. Well then it appears that you would fit in well with--" Hybros stopped as Guts interrupted. "Yes, indeed. This looks like as good of an opportunity as any to get out of here, and see the world, eheh." Hybros turned to Nyx to excuse himself, but it appeared that she was already making her way to the quest board. He signed his name for Quest #72 beneath hers, and nodded to her in approval. He also confirmed that he would be signing up with the party of Guts and Docken, as well as one other. Hybros and Nyx made their way back to the table upstairs. When he returned, Guts and Docken were speaking to a werewolf...? About politics. A subject he was not versed in, so he turned his attention back to Nyx. "As I was saying before, I think that you might make a good addition to the team that we're hoping to take to this... party of the Great Guffington, you may have heard of him... well no doubt you have now, heheheh. If Lawrence can vouch for you, then I say that you join us." He looked to Guts and Docken, who were whispering to each other again. "No need for secrecy here, I think, eheh."

"I see. Well, I hope that you had more success impressing the house than I did, hehe...And I have heard much of Dastan, though I have never been there myself. Perhaps one day." Hybros frowned at the mention of the Wolfgang. "A Veteran, in the Wolfgang? Well, perhaps they know something we do not. We must question what this organization stands for, yes, eheh... but I am sure many would not be pleased to know that one of our own is affiliated with, what some might call, conniving criminals, hehehe." "Well, if you will have me, I would be happy to join you aboard your ship. Just say the word, and the destination matters not. Although, I would not mind a journey to this Dastan I have heard so much about, hehe." Hybros turned his head back to De'kra when Guts put emphasis on 'stowaways'. "Guts, this is De'kra... what he is, I am not sure, but he has been a friend." An impressively beautiful young woman sat down at the table. Beautiful... for a human. "Well met Nyx. No drink for me, thank you, but a friend of Lawrence is a friend of mine, hehee. He and I go far back, to our first days in Heroica. We stopped a shipment of Shadeaux goods at their warehouse on our first quest together. He is a noble man, if a little... bombastic at times, hehe. And you, what is your relationship with the 'King', hm? You seem a little young to be a... mate."

Hybros can only nod and wave goodbye. He then mumbled something about 'fleeting'. "De'kra, it is good to see you again. I have been... well. After our quest below this city together, I ventured to the Ji Pei palace, and then to their homeland, Xu. It was... a long, and unsuccessful trip." Hybros coughed into his elbow, then took a sip of water. "And you, my little friend, where have you been?" Hybros leaned back and turned his head slightly speak over to Guts. "Perhaps. Water and the sea have never been my element, but your ship... I admit it would be nice to see the world outside of Eubric on one's own terms, eheh. I traveled a lot before Heroica, but getting from place to place was no easy task. And stowing away on a ship, not knowing exactly where it will lead... well, let us just say that that way offers little control of your destination."

The heroes split the loot and trade items before heading to the Sheep Meadow. The clouds and chill have faded since the battle at the windmill thanks to Hoke's light spell, and a soft breeze rolls through the large field of grass where a herd of a sheep are peacefully grazing. But the serene environment is like a wolf in sheep's clothing, as a pack of Direwolves comes rushing out of the nearby woods. Howls pierce the air, and several sheep join in the attack to avoid being eaten along with the heroes. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

"Eheh, we all are getting older. It never gets easier, does it?" Hybros thought about Guts, and himself, both seemingly losing their strength. Had it really been a year since he last saw Boomingham? Hybros nodded. "I suspected Shanxian Ji Pei would be there. I hope she did not seem too upset..." Hybros cast his eyes downward. "It was a great dishonor that I had done to her and her family. As for change, well, sometimes we are just too swept up in our own lives to make any real difference, heh." Although he let out a small chuckle, he still frowned. "Yes, good to see that you are still in one piece after the theater, heheh. You will have to tell me about it." Hybros instinctively reached for Zoot's Reaper at its mention, and patted the hilt once he knew that it was safely sheathed on his back. And in a moment, Arthur was gone again.

I'm not usually a big fan of sci-fi parts used in medieval MOCs/figs, but I think a few of them work well here, especially the alternate Mystic Knight. Very cool, although they remind me a little of Zelda: Four Swords. And that Paragon looks great! Everyone's posting future appearances of their characters, but I don't really have any for Hybros. I had one that I didn't really like for Chi Monk, but it's hard to come up with new designs for such a restricted combination (he must have the vampire cape, pointy hat, and usually the bandanna). There's got to be a trope for a character who never shows their face.

Hybros, lurking in the shadows, as usual, notes the group of heroes who had gone to the Foundation Day Ball at the theater return through the Hall doors. Boomingham's thick eyebrows seemed to weigh down on his eyes. He held a bottle in his hand, so Hybros approached, pulling a chair gently from the table and sitting in it. "Lawrence. Eheh, it has been a while. I must have just missed you before you went to the theater, how was your quest?"

QM Note: Actually it does. You cast the spell but it misses the enemy.

I would actually say Hybros could win against Dyric: permanently hastened, pseudo-perma-lucky, actually more lucky, and immune to more things. Plus, Hybros has the Bladerang which he could demolish a good amount of heroes with. And although immune to all elements, Hybros would be weak to the likes of hard hitters like Skrall and Guts. So I would say Docken, Guts, Hybros, Tesni, Nagure, and Skrall would be the ones to win gameplay-wise. As for RP-wise, Guts is getting old it seems, so I would agree on Tesni. Nagure, Skrall, or even Thothwick might be good candidates as well. And strong with ether are Cinna, Nyx, and Arthur. Hmm, sounds like a good quest idea. Oh wait.

Alexis plays a sleepy tune on her flute, which sets all of the enemies to sleep. A ball of ice narrowly misses on of the Big Rats, but Nur makes up for it with his next move. The winds in the eerie setting pick up, and a tornado rapidly forms. The windmill begins to spin again. The derelict windmill can't take the force, so the old and rotting wooden blades fall clean off their fastenings with a groan, and onto the entire enemy party. Only a few lucky zombies are left to fight.

Many people had done it before her, I believe. I've seen many many people do it on Flickr, when I still went on there. Beautiful figs, anyways. Not sure how I feel about the chrome black legs on the minotaur, but those blue knights look especially nice. I played around with a second character that used the chrome legs and arms from the chrome Stormtrooper for armor, a la Quest 17, and that works really well.

The party heads south towards the Derelict Windmill. A spooky chill suddenly sets in, and several decaying zombies moan and limp towards the heroes. They call to the vermin living in the rafters of the abandoned windmill, who swiftly attack the heroes. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
