Aw damn, from the frontpage I thought this was a real set. But still... That is just plain awesome. This is definitely something that TLG needs to make into a set. I haven't bought SW Lego in a long time, but I would get this in a heartbeat, even if the chrome bricks cost a fortune. Really nice job on the shape, too. There's no way to recreate the smooth contours of the film version, but I think you did really well with what you had. And the trans-light blue rings for the engines are a detail not to be missed.

Results of Round 5 of Grueling Grunts: Xander - does nothing De'kra vs. Summoner - Special Damage Sarick vs. Summoner - Special Damage Nerwen vs. Summoner - Special Damage (No direct negative effects - no Special Guard) The battle takes a turn for the worse as the Summoner performs an ancient ritual. The half-decayed corpses laying on the cave floor suddenly return to life, seemingly not with their previous souls. The once peaceful bodies of the villagers were now possessed by demons. The party braces themselves.

Come on now, no need to be shy cap'n! You can cheat with me any day!

Him and Polly. She's just staring at that chicken leg... Wonder if she thinks it's an Assassin.

Aye aye cap'n! Two pairs of goggles are better than one! All the better to see your handsome face, cap'n! Now, to see what the day holds, like a ship sailing towards a new horizon. If only we could see the horizon... can't see a thing with this white blanket o' fog. 'Cept that handsome face o' yours, cap'n! No one would miss it! No sir!

If you mean pointing out what I missed as far as stats, then please don't be shy with those. I know I make mistakes on those, and if I do I prefer it if you point them out to me.

Sarick performs a Magic Burst again, killing the Grunt and dealing another 14 damage to the Summoner. Both Nerwen and De'kra are bitten by the monster. With one enemy left, the party feels confident that they can win the battle.

Hybros repeats his attack. "Alf, you should attack the Amethyst Worm again with your Meteor Blade."

QM Note: I accidentally copied the wrong stats before, they should be accurate now. Results of Round 3 of Grueling Grunts: Xander vs. Grunt B - Miss De'kra vs. Grunt A - Mug Sarick vs. Summoner - Hit Nerwen vs. Summoner - Damage Xander swings his club at Grunt B but he ducks out of the way. De'kra leaps on Grunt A, stabs him with Kapura, and snatches a pouch containing 27 gold. The Grunt falls to the ground, lifeless. Sarick sends ice shards at the Summoner but the undead creature bits Nerwen again for 2 damage.

"This will take a bit of strategy... eheh. I suggest we wear down the least-threatening enemies first, those who can't eat our gems. I will be attacking the Ruby Eater from the front row, and then the Lightning Eater from the front row, because I can deal extra damage to them and none of us have an un-imbued gem that they eat." "Also, I suggest we save our shovels and pick axes for when the worms' hides harden." OoC: Hybros should be hastened, encouraged, and lucky.

Aye aye cap'n! Right away cap'n! Jane Phoebe Barnell reporting for duty, cap'n! I'm a pilot flying nowhere, but at least that's somewhere! Aye aye!

Results of Round 2 of Grueling Grunts: Xander vs. Grunt B - Special Damage De'kra vs. Grunt A - Miss Sarick vs. Summoner - Magic Burst (Lightning) Nerwen vs. Summoner - Damage The party's luck turns. Xander causes Grunt B to go berserk and attack both himself and De'kra for 4 damage each. This causes the echo to become off-balance and miss his target. Sarick overflows with magic, and sends bolts of lightning shooting out of his staff and dealing 14 damage to all enemies. Nerwen is distracted by the fireworks, and the Summoner bites her for 2 damage. The party sustains wounds but must continue the fight. Enemies: Grunt A Type: Humanoid Level: 8 Health: 21/80 Special: Crush (tackles the attacker to the ground, dealing 6 damage regardless of SP and row, and stuns the attacker for the next round.

Whilst keeping the 100 gold and Holy Bomb for himself... Well, I can't say from roleplaying perspective, because Knifk hasn't really developed too much, as far as I can tell, besides being tough and fearless. From a battle perspective, I think Black Knight is one of the best ACs. They can have shields, and they are unique in that the Black Knight is the only class that has all six rolls have some sort of special ability.

Hybros drew his scythe, and followed Knifk into battle, taking another set of mead, smelling salts, and nostrum as he did so.

I love how Maurice hoarded the loot for himself. It shows that even the holiest of holy, like Etzel's character, can have a darker side to them. EDIT: And also, Quest #32 looks promising. Nice MOCs, RumbleStrike. The plot seems very eerie so far.

QM Note: It was a critical hit, but I think I calculated it wrong anyways. It should be ((6x2)+7)/2= 9 damage. Thanks for pointing that out.

Results of Round 1 of Grueling Grunts Xander vs. Summoner - Battle Frenzy De'kra vs. Grunt A - Critical Hit Sarick vs. Summoner - Hit Nerwen vs. Grunt B - Critical Hit The battle begins well for the heroes. Xander starts by going into a frenzy, dealing 22 damage to both Grunts but dealing no damage to the Summoner because he is undead. De'kra takes a stab at Grunt A from the front row (23), and Sarick finally manages to find his inner ethereal strength by icing the Summoner (14). Nerwen swings at Grunt B, and Peace makes its mark in the center of his torso (9). The battle continues! Grunt A Type: Humanoid Level: 8 Health: 35/80 Special: Crush (tackles the attacker to the ground, dealing 6 damage regardless of SP and row, and stuns the attacker for the next round.

Hybros nods. He had been considering telling Elgar to try to talk to the dragon, but it didn't appear calm enough. His mind was put at ease knowing that the dragon was simply protecting it's own kind, and that it would return to its homeland. Though, he hoped he wouldn't be encountering such a fierce beast any time soon. "I am perfectly fine with my share, eheh." Hybros took the gold, and put the cat statue in his bag, not knowing what to do with it. He held the emerald up to the sun, to see its magnificence. At last, the power of the imps was fully in his hands. Within Zoot's Reaper lay a garnet, and now with the emerald he could wield the powers of earth and wood, as his people did so many eons ago to protect their home on the surface. Not long now, he thought. By either magic or technology, by any means necessary he would find the imps and bring them back to the surface.

QM Note: Yeah I'm pretty much going to update every 24 hours or so, or sooner if actions are posted sooner. It would be great if you could check in and post as often as possible. For the time being, since Cronk is not present, Xarrzan will control Xander's actions if you're not around (if that's okay with you two).

I'd prefer this one because of it's length. Come mid-June I will be out of town, and I'm not sure if I can squeeze in a full-length game before then.

The dragon let out a deafening roar, sending chills up Hybros's spine and disorienting him. It was a fierce creature, and he wondered if it was wise and intelligent as he thought dragons to be. Apparently, even the most awesome of creatures was still just a stubborn beast. Did it deserve the respect it's appearance and legends demanded? Hybros, shaking the thought, attacked the dragon again, from the front row twice. Surely, if he somehow missed and swung at one of his allies, Knifk's shield would protect them.

Hybros nods, and attacks the shield once from the front row, and the dragon once from the front row.

The heroes decide to split the group by sending Cronk and Galen down the left path. Russel pulls out another torch, lights it with his own, and hands it to Cronk. "Good luck. We will meet you back at this intersection. As far as I know there are no other paths branching from the one you're about to take." The groups departed, and the main group headed down the right path. Sure enough, after a short walk Russel stopped. The heroes could see flames illuminating the path ahead. The continued forward, and heard voices speaking. Hoping to surprise the cultists, they rushed forward into a well-lit catacomb. They were greeted by a group of scary-looking thugs, who were none too happy to see the heroes in their secret hideout. Near them, a grotesque scene of fresh corpses decorated the otherwise plain room. "Uh hey, you're not the boss! Uhhh... the boss told us to kill anyone who wasn't the boss. So uhhh... we gotta kill them!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
