"Eheh, thank you..." Hybros grinned. "I would fill that glass dagger with something useful, Guts, in case we have to use it quickly."

I'm fine with the quest delay, Zeph. I also had a question about glass weapons, but I forgot it as i was typing this... Do smelling salts count as a liquid? And what are the rules concerning hollow weapons? If you want to use an item in your weapon during battle, does that mean you have to attack with that weapon? And do you have to use the item before you attack, or can it be after?

"Hehehehe, they should have thought thought twice before challenging us." He swung his scythe around in victory, but stopped quickly to grip his torso, beneath the cursed armor. He had suddenly remembered its pain, so he removed the Golden Armor. He loved gold, but apparently it wasn't very useful in battle... Hybros then drank a Grand Potion.

"Of course, eheh." Hybros attacks the Rogue twice with Zoot's Reaper, from the back row. OOC: You forgot to add my gold from the last two rounds, Zeph.

QM Note: Actually XX hasn't captured Nikolai. He is following the Emperor and XX.

I really liked Quest 36 as well. LDD models usually disinterest me, but you did a great job at keeping them simple while offering a lot of room for exploration. All of the battles were memorable, and the specials were really neat and well-thought out. I liked the additional puzzles, such as the fake Death Progg giveaways and the arcane unit. I think that there was the right amount of loot (just goes to show that one does not have to invent 10 new unique artifacts/weapons for a quest), and the story was entertaining. Overall, excellent job, Endgame, especially for your first time. I know you have other quests planned, and I look forward to them.

Hybros grinned beneath his kerchief. He wasn't going down without a fight. He remains in the back row, throwing his Cog and Bladerang at the Rogue. It was time to destroy this faceless enemy.

OOC: Oh, cool. "Guts, sit this one out." Hybros attacks the Rogue twice with Zoot's Reaper from the back row.

"Damn... since we can not do anything to hurt them, I will do nothing. Docken, you should target the Ranger once, and avoid the risk of receiving damage or special damage and take the free hits instead, eheh." OOC: Even if I roll a successful assassination, I wouldn't be able to perform it, right? I know I wouldn't be able to deal any damage, but is a OHKO considered damage? If not, then I'll attack the Rogue twice from the back row with Zoot's Reaper.

QM Note: I've updated the post with the new map. Please note that the Lion Knights have moved south to the North Corridor, I forgot to note it in their location stat.

Makes sense. I thought as much, which is why I wanted to ask. @Peppermint M: I remember you making a post in Quest 19 somewhere about the name of your Zoot's Plaything, but I can't find it. I used Google Translate from Welsh to English, and I got "Wren on" [Zoot], which makes sense but is that the meaning? I also looked up the name Wren, and it means wisdom. If that's what you intended, then the weapons so far are Zoot's Bane, Zoot's Reaper, and Zoot's Wisdom (translated), which I think is kind of cool.

OOC: Okay, that makes sense. Recalling another damage-all item of Sandy's, the Cat O'Nine Tails from Quest 34, I think she nerfed it so that the rogue using it couldn't mug all enemies it hit. Listening to his allies, Hybros decided to grab his Bladerang, but consume a Grand Potion instead of throwing it. He did so from the back row.

Hybros retrieves and throws his Banana Bladerang at the Rogue from the back row.

OOC: Hold on guys, let's just see if I can/have assassinated anything with the Bladerang. Depending on what happens, Guts can heal Hybros with a potion so that he can take two hits from the back row if needed. I would retrieve and throw the Bladerang in the same round, only leaving the Knight for a free hit. And sorry for the OOC, Jeb would be mad if he's reading this quest...

OOC: Of course I'm biased but I also think, logically, that assassination should be rolled for all enemies, because it technically hits all of them. That's the way I assumed it worked, anyway. Hybros took a turn to retrieve his Bladerang, and another to pour a Grand Potion down Guts' throat.

Very fun review, Kiel! I always love reading and looking at your comic-type pictures, like the minifig bios in this one. You have a really unique way of reviewing sets, and they are so enjoyable. As for the set itself, I'll pass. But there's a wealth of unique colored parts (light blue is a pretty rare color), and the new cape design is pretty cool.

Can there be a a Scroll of Cursing, just so I can imbue it into my Golden Armor? On a more serious note, would it be overpowered to have Gold Reaper do damage? There's a 1/6 chance of assassination, but that can be pretty useless against one enemy, especially if it's a boss with instakill immunity. Perhaps I'm biased about it, but what does anyone else think?

Hybros attacks the Rogue twice from the back row, once with his new Throwing Cog, and again with his Bladerang. "I will heal you next round, Guts." OOC: You forgot to update my gold, Zeph.

OOC: Oops, I got Jinxed and Cursed mixed up again... oh well. And no wonder he is cursed, with that amount of gold... Hybros twitched as the armor took its toll on his... body? It would be best to finish this battle quickly. He drank the nostrum , then attacked the Rogue from the front row with Zoot's Reaper.

Agreed with Zepher, a great quest, but a little too lengthy. I lost track of the story several times, but I did like how the heroes explored small segments of different stories. And of course, the sets were beautiful. I also agree that some of the players could have participated a little more, although I know Etzel is away from Internet access for a while (read: all summer).

"This will help us in the long run... do you think you can take a free hit from the Rogue, Docken?" Hybros spends one turn to retrieve a Nostrum, and the other to drink a Grand Potion.

Thanks for doing that, Oky! The other two are hilarious.

OoC: Well I might know since I designed the item. "A puzzle of time..." Hybros mused. Forgetting his disagreement with Guts for the moment, he said "It appears that as Gruffington gets older, he gets less cautious. If this has any resemblance to the real world, his recklessness is the reason why we're all here. Still, it can not hurt to try the armor, for just one of us. I suggest both of you decline the offer, in case there is some unfortunate side-effect, eheh. I will take the armor."

Doubtful, Hybros squints his eyes and continues to follow Guts silently.
