"I see, eheh... But what good is a ship if you are not going anywhere?"

:shrug: Go Necromancer and have your undead army be vampires.

Hybros snickered. "Well with all the gold you have, it could be. I never thought about buying a boat - ehm, ship - myself though. I do not suppose those slavers took too kindly to you taking their ship, hehe." Hybros squinted his eyes and grinned a little. "I am no sailor, but perhaps we can take it on our next journey, wherever that may be. If you are still sticking around, that is, eheh. It seems to me like you are planning on going somewhere."

The party decides to sit back and let the poison do its work again. The battle is over before they know it. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Each hero gains a partial level. Amma levels up! Alexis gains 27 gold. The enemies drop five Fire Bombs, two Chicken Drumsticks and three skeleton decoys.

Avatarmaker.eu is a great site for free 100x100 cropping and zooming (there's other sizes too). It takes me about one minute because there's usually very little quality loss and I don't need to go back to the editor to touch it up.

Hybros turned around and dropped the rope. "Hehe, so this is your ship, after all. Or did you... Comandeer it? Hehehe... You will have to tell me how you got it."

Hybros made his way from the Marketplace directly to the harbor, and began searching for Guts's ship, or what he claimed it to be. His head bobbed up and down as he slowly made his way through the thick crowds of various races in the Fishmarket. Only his hat could be seen by those who were looking through the movements of people at him, although he doubted anyone was watching him. It was impossible to see where Guts's ship was through the people, so he headed in the direction where he thought the sea was. Slowly but surely he reached the boardwalk that connected all of the docks, and looked around for a green and red vessel. It wasn't long before he found it. He looked around, and peeked on board. No one was in plain sight, so he helped himself to explore the ship, lifting lids of containers and poking things.

QM Note: As CMP pointed out in R&D, Poisoned and Badly Poisoned do not stack. Poisoned-effect removed from all enemies and the 1 health they lost is restored.

I think they're fine as they are. The Jade Lamp of Summoning (Mediq) is fine to be permanent, because all it does is heal at a moderate ether cost. The battle lamps, on the other hand, I think should be consumable. They're not that powerful either, but they could be lifesavers (like we saw in Quest 53). I just think it would be OP if they could be used in every battle.

Eager to get out of the Hall, Hybros made his way back to the Marketplace once again with the 1103 gold, including the profits he had made from selling Elphaba's goods on the secondhand market. He casually strolled down the street lined with market stalls until he reached Anwyl's. "Ehem, excuse me. Down here, please! Yes, I would like this new blade of mine to be imbued with these two gems." Hybros unsheathed the Sword of Ancestral Hatred and his last two loose gems; the amethyst and the diamond. He handed over 100 gold for the job. While he waited for Anwyl to do his work, Hybros headed over to Portia's. Although he wasn't lacking in supplies, he looked around at her new items anyway. He pulled a bottle of Mulled Wine from the shelf, uncorked it, and smelled it. He was never a drinker of alcohol, but the scent was potent and sweet. He read the label on the back which said that it would allow the drinker to stay up later to drink more. "Or participate in a battle longer, eheh..." he mumbled. He traded 275 gold for 5 bottles of Mulled Wine, and returned to Anwyl's to pick up his sword. Anwyl handed it over, and Hybros took it by the hilt and rose it towards the sky. It's aura seemed to glow brighter now with the power of light and darkness, and Hybros was sure it would deal some good damage to the likes of ninjas. Hybros prepared to return to the Hall, but turned his head the opposite direction, towards the harbor. Guts said he had a new ship, but Hybros would have to see for himself. He sheathed the sword and began walking with the salty scent of the ocean in his nose.

Erm, what's power creep?

Alexis does her... thing again, this time infecting all enemies with an additional disease. Gotta catch 'em all. Nur focuses in on his target, but takes too long and leaves himself vulnerable for another crow to swoop down on him. It would appear that his beard has made a nice place for a nest.

No, because she can't love anyone but Docken. As for cleric weapons, yeah they can also use hammers and maces which are useable by Alchemists, Regulators, Imfiltrators, and maybe a few others.

Hmm, combine that with the Dancing Shoes, and Guts could have potentially... hmm, a lot of turns. Let's see: Round 1: (Already Hastened), rolls two misses (and gains gold from Crysopheia) Round 2: Gets four turns, maybe one is a miss, and gets four additional turns for using items. And goes on and on... it's unlikely that Guts will ever have more than eight turns as an Alchemist with the Dancing Shoes, but still that's a lot. That means you have to roleplay it! Docken's confessing his love for Karie! Indeed. Much easier to host than I thought, but Harlot is simple compared to Alchemist or Necromancer. They all get pretty hefty health boosts, though.

Hybros glanced at the list for the chosen heroes to deal with the rat infestation, and noticed Atramor had been chosen. "Too bad..." he mumbled. At least he would have Tesni with him. Ellaria, the girl with that disgusting fetus, seemed somewhat capable, if lacking in confidence. And this Althior person... Hybros eyed the man robed in black with a peculiar floating... ball of gas? behind him. Hybros felt that he had seen him before, but the man seemed changed, somehow. He would have to keep an eye on that one.

QM Note: Alexis's health fixed, thank you Jeb.

Of course, but I have to at least be able to scratch you.

I'm actually really interested to see how the Moon Elves develop. @Unlimited Quest: I take it Alexis won't be changing her action?

Thanks again to all of the players who participated in Quest #59, it was a blast hosting you. Once more I am very sorry for the slowness towards the end, the last few weeks have been hectic for me IRL. I personally think this one went well, but I'd love to hear feedback from those who participated as well as those who followed along from the sidelines. I wanted to keep this one short, and it was, but still twice as long as I planned. There was one battle that you opted out of by using Diplomacy on Umbra, but the trade off for that was gained reputation with the Shadeaux. It's just too bad you didn't get to see my brick-built dragons. Overall, I was impressed with the participation and roleplaying. Especially during some of the breaks, you all did a great job taking the opportunity to have some interaction with each other and the NPCs. I particularly enjoyed the chemistry between Monk Pretzel and De'kra. It was a little bit strange to have a few of you give up some valuable loot, but all for the sake of roleplaying I suppose.
