Ah, okay thanks. Hybros, while respecting the ancient dragon, has little patience left for it. It should have realized its doom and fled much earlier. He was ready to finish it, striking it with Zoot's Reaper twice from the front row.

OoC: By absorb do you mean that the shield doesn't take any damage either, when the dragon is targeted? Or does it take the damage instead?

For those of you in the Wisconsin area, the Wauwatosa LEGO store's grand opening at Mayfair Mall is May 11-13 (see here). Also, it looks like both the exclusive minifigs and the Lego store set promos come free with a $35+ purchase. You can just keep checkingthis link to see if there's any official news on your store. I know the Wauwatosa store info wasn't there last time I checked (3 weeks ago), so they probably update it regularly.

Congrats Cornelius! I know you will continue to do an awesome job keeping the forum in tip-top shape.

Congrats Big Cam! It's quite the responsibility, but as an active member on EB I'm sure you can handle. And of course your previous experience with the pirates crew probably helps.

Clearly impressed by the heroes' ability to deal with the cave life, Russel rose his torch to illuminate more tunnels leading deeper into the cave. "We go this way." He lead the heroes for some time, until they arrived at a point where the single path they were on split in two. It was nothing unusual, Russel had led them through many splitting paths, but he stopped at the fork. "Heroes, I've led you far into this tunnel, and now we've almost reached the Cultists' lair. Actually, from here there are two different areas in which the Cultists hide. Now, our spies tell us that the Cultists have some sort of method of communicating. So if we all go to one of the two main catacombs, we run the risk of letting the Cultists, if any, in the other escaping if they become informed of our presence." "So, we must divide and conquer. Four of you will come with me, down the right path, and two of you will head down the left path to prevent any of these troublemakers from escaping. Who goes where is up to you. Any questions?"

Mages can't choose which element they use in a Magic Burst, it's random.

OoC: I'm fine with being PL, at least until Bioniclover returns permanently. It doesn't seem like anyone else wants the position badly, but I'm fine with Guts doing it as well. Seeing Knifk hesitate, Hybros decides to take action and draw his scythe, preparing for another attack by the dragon. The party seemed ready.

Ooh, I wanna play! 1. I've played through most games from Noir through the most recent Yakuza Mafia, details in my profile. 2. I'm free for this time. 3. Definitely Tammo's bomb claim in IMHOTEP. As others have said, it was a really awesome effort at surviving as the last scum player.

QM Note: Yes, the same goes for throwing weapons and failed heals, I believe. It was decided some time ago in the R&D thread. @Tanma: I looked through a couple of quests, the way Sandy originally did it was damage done, not damage received. Ans Xarrzan seems to be doing it that way for Quest 26. So I'll add whatever I missed with the last Mug to your gold.

Magic? Hybros grimaced a little and downed a mead, nostrum, and vial of smelling salts for good measure.

QM Note: The way I (and Sandy) have always done it is damage received by the enemy. I'll have to double check that, but I'll leave it for now. And it seems I've calculated the Ice Bomb damage wrong... oh well, too late now.

No. I would probably find him annoying after a while, even without considering the fact that he's an imp dressed like a kid going Trick-or-Treating. Also his lack of dialogue.

1) All your monuments belong to us (Lady Liberty) Entry (CamelBoy68) - 1 point 2) The ski jump in Holmenkollen in Oslo (Sleepyhead) Entry (Cecilie) - 1 point 7) Art Deco (Flamenco Dancer) Entry (lisqr) - 1 point Good entries all around, it was very hard to divide my three points. Thanks to WhiteFang and the EB staff for putting this together once again for S6, and good luck to all.

OoC: Yes, you're right it doesn't return to me, I just forgot to state my second action because I forgot Hybros was hastened. Thank you for making the most logical choice for that. Satisfied with his successful hits, Hybros draws his twin throwing knives, both between his three fingers on his left hand. He throws them both at the remaining dragonling.

11) Alien Entry (Darth Yogi) - 1 point 31) Sleepyhead Entry (watersnap) - 1 point 42) Minotaur Entry (Mr.Brickman) - 1 point Good luck to all.

Exactly. Getting double-mugs often really ends up paying for the consumables and more, even with one set of all three costing 75 gold. Plus it makes battling more fun with more successful roles. Even though Guts obviously looks down on such behavior. Agreed. The quests began just a few days ago, even if you think you might know what's going on chances are you do not. So just try to enjoy the quests please.

Cronk calls forth his Guardian Angel, to protect the party from harm for the next round. Xander smacks Cave Rat C with his Pongcanis Club (22), but De'kra takes a bite from the Cave Mongrel. Sarick's spell falls short, but Galen supplies the ice power instead by tossing a bomb, dealing 20 damage to all enemies because of their weakness to the element. Nerwen prays to the gods to perform a Miracle, restoring De'kra back to full health. However, snakes and spiders take their turns at the heroes, Cronk being the only one withstanding any damage thanks to his shield. All of the enemies still stand, looking even angrier than before.

QM Note: Oops, it's been fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

So what happens if it's in the middle of a quest? I'm sure most QMs would be none too happy if they had a high-level quest and one of their party members turned into a Level 1... Interesting stuff on the mancers, though.

The emperor seemed surprised at Sarick's 'vision'. "Yes, our spies have informed us that Sphinx is the leader of this cult. We don't know if he's in the hills here but the cultists, we believe, extend far beyond just this small group." "Certainly, we will provide you any equipment needed at the caves." "Now, I think it's best we head off. This news of the cultists summoning the chimera supports our suspicions further. If you are all ready, we will begin our ascent of the hill." Emeraldo and his troops led the party up the mountain, weary for any cultists or other attacks. After a long climb, they finally reached the cave that Roland spoke of. It was dark and dank. "As much as I would like to help you heroes, I cannot risk my life going in there. You're on your own, but one of my men shall go with you. He's memorized the maps drawn out by our spies, he knows the way." A man carrying an ax stepped forward. "Name's Russel. Stick close behind me and you won't get lost." He grabbed a torch, lit it, and stepped to the mouth of the cave. "We'll be waiting down the path a ways. If you don't return within a reasonable amount of time, I will assume something has happened to you and send in my men. Good luck." The heroes followed Russel into the cave. The darkness quickly swallowed them, and the lone torch illuminated the cave walls and many pathways branching off. It was clearly ideal to remain hidden, and to get lost if one didn't know the way. For some time the party took winding turns, and they wondered if they were going the right way. Suddenly Russel stopped. "You hear that?" A faint sound of tiny feet could be heard. The sound increased quickly, coming from behind the party. They turned around and were surprised by a pack of various cave vermin, looking vicious and very hungry. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

I just wanted to keep the quest moving.
