Mark Twain, AKA S. Clemens, nice one. I'm still not sure if there was ever an official ruling on the genie lamps... was it three "wishes"/uses for the elemental jinns and infinite usage for Mediq and the like?

Hybros wandered aimlessly through the streets of Eubric. Guts had taken them back to the docks on his ship. "I am fine, really," the imp told the human. But Guts seemed eager to return to the Hall, so Hybros didn't say anything else. Perhaps they would quest again soon. After what seemed like hours, Hybros returned to the Hall. He noted Guts seated next to Docken, both talking in hushed voices. He also saw the red-headed woman who had tried to steal from Guts's ship. He rolled his eyes, and asked Shcherezade for an apple. He tossed it to the masked woman and nodded pointedly.

Clerics can't advance to making gold, either. Like I've said before, I totally agree with buffing the Black Knight. It's weaker in every way from another AC, and their mortal hits ability only allows them to deal the same amount of damage that they would normally do in two turns, in one turn.

QM Note: Sorry, no update today. But I'll autorun and hopefully finish this battle tomorrow. Thanks for your patience .

"That is true, I suppose. But then, what does it take to make a good king? Leadership, strength? You have both Guts, but somehow it seems more fitting to have you lead with a dagger in your hand and a group of heroes behind you. Does Eubric, or Olegaia for that matter, even need a king? It seems rule has only benefited the top individuals and suppressed the rest. I have experienced that, Guts. Would you or anyone else as king fix that?" "Me, well, taking on 108 insane ninjas can not be good on the body... but we are all getting older I suppose eheh."

Hybros tugged on the rope a little more, and the ship picked up speed. It wasn't long before the outlines of the buildings of Eubric faded from vision, and the island of Goland was quickly approaching on the horizon. "A king?" Hybros thought for a moment. "It does not quite suit you, eheh. Though you certainly have the riches to become one. No, you are much better off doing... good on the front lines." Thinking of combat again made Hybros' chest ache in pain, and he coughed a little.

Possibly one of the worst characters in that game, IMO. Right after Kelly Chambers... Wrex is a much better Krogan to have. (Currently playing ME3 for the first time, so no spoilers! ) I wonder how long Guts and Hybros will have to sail the seven seas before Guffy needs their help again? Yes I must nag.

Hybros yanked the rope to let the sails of Guts's ship loose, and the ship took off. The shake caused Hybros to lose his footing and fall to the deck. "Oof!" He quickly got up to see the docks shrinking into the distance behind them, and the sea growing wider in front of them. His stomach did a few somersaults, so he quickly made his way to the railing at the edge of the ship and sicked overboard. Wiping his mouth, he mumbled. "Uh, never got used to sea travel..." He picked up the rope to the sails again and adjusted them slightly, before yelling to Guts at the wheel, "King of the world, eh Guts? Hehehe."

QM Note: Pumpkinfaces' HP fixed. I remember that happening last time.

Alexis takes a nasty bite from sharp fangs, and Stigveladi becomes infected. The remaining horde of enemies takes their turns throwing themselves at the heroes.

"Of course... though I have never sailed by myself, eheh..." Hybros picked up the rope he was holding earlier and looked to Guts for instructions. "Two people can get this out of the docks, you say?"

Hybros watched as Guts sliced and threw the young woman overboard. "So, a hero from Heroica... she does realize the food is free at the Hall?" Hybros grumbled. "All that trouble for nothing. Oh well, eheh." He shrugged. "No. I used to steal plenty, from the rich and the poor. How else was I to survive? But you can be sure that I was careful about it, and who exactly I stole from, hehe. I did not always get off... how do you say it? Free Scott?... but that human is just asking for trouble. You were right to protect your own property. I suppose... you could say I have not yet stopped stealing, heheheh."

Hybros looked uneasily to Guts, to follow his lead. He certainly couldn't condemn someone for stealing out of desperation; he had done so many times himself. But this was Guts after all. "Starving or not, you must consider who you are stealing from, eheh. Who are you anyways?"

Hybros was about to respond to Guts when the raider looked past the imp, then retrieved his trusty dagger. Hybros turned around just in time to see a pale female human with her hands plunged in a barrel full of apples. He raised his eyebrow at Guts, then drew Zoot's Reaper as he stood beside his old friend. After Guts waved Lifestealer threateningly, Hybros added. "I would choose your next words carefully. This one here has already pried the ship from the cold dead hands of others; it would be foolish of you to try to take it for yourself, eheheh." He pointed his scythe's upper tip towards the woman with fiery hair.
