Skrall finishes Archer A with a well-aimed crossbow bolt. Namyrra displays her new skills by stunning all enemies and drawing a decent amount of gold into her purse. She also cripples the second Chesire Cat. Alexis works her newly discovered "magic" as well, gains a small amount of gold, and whips all enemies into going against their will. Stigveladi and Nur dispatch a pair of Green Vipers, and the a few ignored enemies recover from their stun.

QM Note: It was a mistake brought on by thinking ice was super effective against beasts, but the vipers are only vermin. Regardless, Viper A is defeated. Gold edited.

Hmm, I've just realized how much WBD's avatar, this character, and that face print, wherever it's from, look strikingly similar to (click at your own risk - nothing terrible but to those of you who don't know, very creepy). Which is why I'm getting a very creepy vibe in Quest 65 from the character, expecting her to ask for rusty swords or something. On another note, on account of Doc's many references, I've started reading Darths and Droids. Very entertaining comic, now we need a Scroll of Summon Bigger Fish.

Hybros turned slowly to face Tesni calling him from her seat. The man didn't seem to notice his signal, and instead tacked a sale note to the board. Hybros grabbed his glass of water and headed over to Tesni. "Tesni, I am well..." his eyes shifted slightly. His body was still 'shaking'; it wasn't visible but it's what it felt like to the imp. "I look forward to another quest. I am anxious to... journey again. Too much idle time here in the Hall, you see, eheh... And you? You seem to have upgraded that new sword of yours." He nodded at the Fiery Sawblade, which seemed to resonate with heat and power. "You will be chopping enemies down with ease, I am sure, hehe."

*disappears in a puff of smoke* Yeah, I would have to say that I've thought them (the small factions or races) as a bit unnecessary. Why not develop the dwarves or elves (two species that have surprisingly not been touched on that much) before making another species that will only appear in a quest or two? I've never said anything because I figured, hey, it is everyone's world to create, so why not? But yes I think it's better for QMs to cooperatively develop pre-existing species before introducing new ones. Then again, my character is the only known member of his species in existence... so I'm one to talk. All in due time, though! I have made some big plans for Hybros recently, which I hope will take a more direct approach to roleplaying rather than waiting on things to happen.

QM Note: Fixed, thank you. I thought that was only for Free Hits that carry over in the rotation, but that makes sense too, thanks.

QM Note: Understood Etzel. Results of Round 10 of The Angry Dragon: >Maurice vs. Retraga - Special Damage (Deafening Screech - all heroes fragile for the next 3 rounds) >William vs. Retraga's Wings - Special Damage (Aerial Cover - Retraga and Rotten Core immune to damage next round) >Mizuki vs. Rotten Core - Lethal Hit Damage (7+16 = 23 dmg) De'kra vs. Rotten Core - Critical Hit (2x10 +20=40 dmg) >Monk Pretzel vs. Rotten Core - Miracle (all party members healed 2x6+15=27 health restored) Things start to get bad for the heroes. Retraga lets out a deafening screech that makes the entire party doubly vulnerable for the next three rounds. Mizuki and De'kra score some damage on the Rotten Core before Retraga retracts her wings to protect both her and the throbbing virus on her abdomen. Luckily, Pretzel heals the whole party with a Miracle to prepare them for what is to come. Fortunately for them, the Rotten Core seems to be hanging on by a thread. Enemies: Retraga the Angry Dragon *Immune to Sudden Death, Stunned, Paralyzed and Weakened* Flying/Fiery Level 38 Health: 401/1680 Special I: Deafening Screech - Causes the enemy to become fragile for the next three rounds.

Special II: Strong Gust – Retraga’s Wings flap mightily, dealing 15 wind-elemental damage to each party member and stunning them. Used only if Aerial Cover is in effect. Aerial Cover ends if used. Drops: Nothing Note: If Retraga the Angry Dragon is defeated before the Wings, they will automatically be defeated.

Results of Round 1 of Apple Orchard Attack: >Hoke vs. Dryad - Damage (16/2-12=0 dmg) >Skrall vs. Bugbear Archer A - Aim (11+4+2 x2=34 fire/lightning dmg) >Namyrra vs. Chesire Cat A - Great Spell Spell (2x15 +26 x2 = 112 light dmg, -1 ether) >Namyrra vs. Chesire Cat B - Confuse Confuse (Chesire Cat B confused for 3 rounds, -1 ether) >Alexis vs. Bugbear Archer C - Kiss and Make Up Kiss and Make Up (2x20+30 x2 x2= 280 ice/lightning/darkness dmg, Bugbear Archer C KO'd) >Stigveladi vs. Green Viper A - Spell (12+11 x2 x2= 92 ice dmg, Green Viper A KO'd, -1 ether) >Nur vs. Bug Bear Archer B - Meditate (full ether) Bugbear Healer A vs. Hoke - Free Hit (7/2-12=0 dmg) >Hoke counterstrikes Bugbear Healer A (7/2=4 dmg) Bugbear Healer B vs. Skrall - Free Hit (7/2-8=0 dmg) Green Viper B vs. Namyrra - Free Hit (6/2-10=0 dmg) Green Viper C vs. Namyrra - Free Hit (6/2-10=0 dmg) Green Viper D vs. Alexis - Free Hit (6/2-3=0 dmg) The heroes begin their assault on the Bugbears from the safety of the back row. Hoke takes some time preparing his spell, and has to spend his turn raising his shield against the deadly Dryad instead. Taking advantage of his Hunter's Crossbow, Skrall takes aim at the first Archer. Namyrra nearly destroys one of the Chesire Cats with a light spell, and confuses the other. Both Alexis and Stigveladi defeat their targets in a single hit, while Nur stands back coolly and watches. The many untargeted enemies charge at the heroes, but cannot penetrate their defenses.

I know, we were planning on maybe going on the Russel one, but now that you say it's only meant for three people we can't get that awesome party together. The wait for Guffy begins then.

Eh, not even close IMO. There are many more very powerful items, such as the Lucky Die, Yeti Fur Coat or even the Banana Bladerang. Although I will agree that Atramor is one of the most versatile characters. Special Mirror is just way too cool. I also think Docken (of couse) and Erdathcath (where is Customizer, anyway?) are good contenders. Cinna was also a very hard hitter and was able to soak up damage on Quest 50. And me. Trust me, that's been a long time coming.

Tough battles, bring em on!

We did! But apparently Guffy 2 is less puzzle-oriented. I would love to quest with Guts and Docken again, but I'm hoping to go on this Russel quest as well, just to get out of the Hall. I guess I'll see how long until Guffy 2. So is Umbra Shadeaux, but she's also still in Dastan. My quest takes place chronologically before Sandy's, so it's logically feasible.

Hybros catches the gold coins with a grunt as Benji snatches the Girdle from his hands and runs off. "Hmph." Heading over to the bar, Hybros gripped his shoulder. He had fallen hard during the final battle, and he could still recall the gigantic yeti beating him senseless. But it wasn't only a physical ache; his whole body seemed to shake and flutter from the inside. Feeling a little sick from it, Hybros made his way to the bar, tipping his hat slightly to the new arrival, a young armored man sitting by the door. Hybros ordered a glass of water and sat down.

You're welcome to sign-up for the Russel quest. I've decided that if Guffy 2 isn't quite ready to go, I'm going to go on that one. I know we just quested together but Docken's in the hall, maybe he'll sign up for it, and Ellaria, Atramor, and Guts will be returning soon.

QM Note: All stats should be up to date. Masked Builder, Alexis does not have any Smelling Salts. With all heroes accounted for, the party decides to head to the Apple Orchard first.

(For the record, PsyKater, I was being sassy, and you're welcome to purchase anything from the marketplace before I start the battle. It really is no big deal.)

None of the above. Make it easier on your QM by not changing stats after he spent ages editing them.

Essentially the move Rest in the Pokemon games. But then you get into the overpowered Sleep Talk and Dream Eater moves...

Yes, you are correct. I didn't realize that this wasn't made clear to you, and honestly some of us thought that you yourself were getting bored because of the spaced out updates. But yes, things could have been different if we the players had better communication with the Quest Master. On a completely separate note, I've had a few quest ideas written down. - An Uland Scavenger Hunt - This one is pretty well along in its development stages, and I plan to host it this summer. Basically it will be puzzle-based, and involve a lot of locations around Eubric and the surrounding areas. I hope to orient this one towards more experienced players, preferably ones with a good amount of knowledge about the ins-and-outs of Eubric, Uland, and their locations and people. I've also been playing around with the idea of giving experience for puzzles as well as battles since there won't be as many of the latter in this quest. - A Mystery of Chima quest - Just an idea that I had, focusing on the land of Chima that hosts many of the werefolk that we've seen throughout quests in Heroica so far. I'm not sure if Sandy or anyone else have made plans for this, but I for one would like to explore the origins and mysteries surrounding all of the werepeople in Olegaia. I'm hoping this one will be another mystery-oriented quest, although battles will have their place as well. I do not have any Chima sets (nor do I plan on buying any), though, so I've considered partnering up with another QM or just someone who can build with Chima sets for this one.

Well, now that your here, where would you like to go first?" QM Note: Welcome to the Fields of Glory! Please check your stats, as I've rearranged them to make things easier on me. A few notes: firstly, I'm using the "Power Bonus" method of keeping track of the arbitrary Power stat, because I like to calculate damage individually. Second, unfortunately effects do not carry over from quest to quest or Hall to quest, Jeb, so you are not encouraged. And finally, PsyKater, does your "Shard of an Opal" work exactly the same as any other Opal?

Maurice, William, and Mizuki all continue to attack the Rotten Core, while De'kra chucks a Remedy down Retraga's throat with his last conscious thought before succumbing to the effects of the deadly poison. Despite the dragon's size, the small bottle of brew seems to cure the fatal poison and hold back the Parasite Parricide, at least for now. However, Retraga's mood is still not improved, and continues to pound on William and Maurice. The poison has abated, but how much longer can the heroes hold out?

Finding himself in the marketplace once again, Hybros strolled towards Anwyl's. He put his newly acquired guitars on the counter, and requested that they be stripped of their gems. "You can also keep them for whichever purpose you need them, for 35 gold each, eheh." (Diamond removed from Starlight Guitar, Amethyst removed from Eclipse Guitar -100 gold, both guitars sold +70 gold). "I have no further need for these, either." Hybros sold his two Throwing Knives (WP:8 and WP: 8), Ancient Throwing Dagger (WP:8), and three Shurkiens (WP:5, WP:5, and WP:5) for a total of (40+40+40+25+25+25=)195 gold. Next, Hybros made his way to Portia's, from who he bought 6 Nostrums (35x6=210), 3 Phoenix Essences (3x50=150), and 3 Remedies (10x3=30) for a total of (210+150+30=) 390 gold. Finally, Hybros stopped at Elphaba's, and knew that she would be leaving soon. A good investment, he thought, would be to purchase some of her wares and sell it at an inflated price to heroes who missed her. He purchased another Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby, and Garnet for 400 gold. Hybros departed for the Hall once again, with a total of (978-100+70+195-390-400=) 353 gold.

"Yes, many thanks, eheh. I hope it served you well." "SERVED ME WELL INDEED, UNLIKE YOU, WEAKLING. YOU CANNOT EVEN FATHOM MY POWER, AT LEAST MY PREVIOUS SERVANT WAS TRAINED IN THE WAYS OF ANCIENT MAGIK."
