The LDD rendition looks great, nice work. Yeah, I think the tan would look good. If you wanted to try a color more similar to tan to try to mix the colors, try dark tan. One suggestion I have is to make the roofs of the sides more round, maybe by using half-domes instead of the slopes that you have now. Otherwise it looks very true to the real thing, and good luck in the contest!

Freedom. The answer came instantly to Hybros. It was something he could very easily relate to, much more than to loyalty. He himself had wandered alone for 50 years on the surface world, without loyalty to anyone. But what about his own people, and what about Heroica? He knew as a "hero", he had to do the right thing. But what was the right thing? The houses of Eubric would always be fighting, and who was he to say which one was right or wrong? But the mysterious technology and the raids... would letting him go only make things worse, more chaotic? Hybros thought about Wren briefly, and how she thrived on chaos. And before, when Umbra Shadeaux offered gold in exchange for the heroes' cooperation. Was he righteous then, by not accepting the offer? These thoughts swam around his head. A look of seriousness came across his face when he said: "I say we take his offer. We'd reap both rewards, and maybe letting Reno go wouldn't be a bad thing. We alone cannot decide to let these ideas of his die, and it will have to be up to the Bonapartes to settle this matter. We tell Nemo that we found Reno, and killed Jolly Roger."

It does cast the Sealed effect. That's what sealing does for enemies.

Brickdoctor, the Scroll of Sealing doesn't block magic, it blocks any enemy from using there Special Damage move for three rounds.

Ichirou is also the name of a character from the anime One Piece, I think.

Hybros marveled at the the forest below, and the airship above. Never had he seen such a thing, even in all his travels. Such technology... whoever these aoi were, he wished to meet one. "So what do we do...? I'm for fighting Reno, and taking him out once and for all. There's nothing worse than a traitor to his own flesh and blood... and we'd be doing the Bonapartes a great favor by not letting him escape. If we do decide to fight, I'll take the last of my Smelling Salts, Nostrum, and Mead, eheheh." Hybros reflected on his own flesh and blood. Had he betrayed his own people by living on the surface world? He had tried desperately for years to find a way to return to them, but no avail... they must still exist somewhere. He looked up at the airship again. Perhaps... if these aoi were so technologically advanced, there would be a way to find his people. Yet, the imp felt more kinship to the people he had met in Heroica... Eric, De'kra, and all of the others, even if he didn't fully understand the righteous actions of heroes. For all he was concerned, he still wandered the lands of Ennoc and beyond as a single entity. He had no true allegiance, only the drive for answers...

So is Quest 15 going to be updated soon?

Awesome, I'm off to build right away. What's the ruling on official Lego stickers? Do those fit under the rule of "no cutting parts"?

"It should be okay since we smashed that Tritech sorcery... I think."

Actually if he blinds you on Round 1 then the blinded effect should last until the end of Round 3. And I agree with lowering the scrolls' power in general. Like I said after Quest 18, it was extremely hard to balance things with them. I agree with the solution to limit them to one use each per battle.

"It's a four-letter word that continues to come up throughout this quest. And if what Sham says is true... ...then Eric was right after all and I see no reason to not try it. From what we know Reno is Jolly Roger. Let's head up the staircase in front of us." OOC: Etzel, I'm not sure if you can't really see that the letters on the door are letters or if Maurice can't read English... The door has ZZZZ AAAA BBBB ...meant to represent letters on a four-letter combination lock, each wheel having the 26 letters.

"They sure looked like letters to me... hehehehe".

Hybros' eyes widened. "Eric... you're right! We haven't found him the jail cells, and no really knows who Jolly Roger is... he has the motive, and the ability... it all makes sense. Let's try the password".

"Let's head up. Could the password to the door be 'Reno'? Or maybe somewhere they were going... 'Fang'?"

"I believe Erdathcath also wanted the other two Smoke Bombs... and if everyone is done here we should continue down the hall."

"Then come with us you shall. If I have enough coin by the end of our journey, I would certainly be interested in that Mytrhil." "Then we'll have to split the goods. Erdathcath, we'll each take 3 Potions and a Grand Potion, and I'll take one smoke bomb, two Remedies, a Phoenix Essence, and a Throwing Knife."

The Mythril gleamed, and Hybros considered. But he still did not have enough to buy it. Not wanting to push the half-orc any farther, he asked: "Are you going to be around? If so I would like to buy that Mythril from you when I have the coin, hehe... I do have these Hinckwell Wares, very valuable. You could sell them at twice the price to the family if you bought them from me for 300 gold now." "If not, I'll take 4 potions, 2 Grand Potions, a Phoenix Essence, 2 Remedies, a Smoke Bomb, and a Throwing Knife for a total of 107 gold." Hybros' eyes widened. What was happening to Eric? He offered his hand. "Come on Eric. Everything will be fine. I will do my best to lead when you're not, but in the meantime let's finish our quest and return to the Hall. It's going to be okay." Hybros said the words, but he was still unsure. Unsure of his ability to lead, unsure if Eric would ever be alright. He had only looked after himself for all these years, and now he had to be aware of others. Maybe he wasn't cut out for Heroica. But it felt... different. Hybros knew there were answers somewhere, and while Heroica was a change, it was a good place to look for them.

Hybros twiddles his thumbs. "So... will I be telling Sham about is mother?" Hybros whispers in Christopher's ear, who translates the speech to Sham in a noble voice. 'Yes, we are from Heroica and are in your mother's good graces. You know, she does provide food and drink for us heroes free of charge. I think she of all people understands best what heroes do and what heroes need. We save innocent people like you, and we need the equipment to do it. Now Scheherazade is doing fine, but say she needed protection from the evil forces? All the heroes in Heroica Hall would serve to this, but their capability in doing so relies on their strength and equipment. So, please understand that to continue to protect people like yourself, we will need affordable equipment. In return, we offer our heroic services to you and your mother. What's a few gold coins in exchange for your and your beloved mother's life?' Hybros grimaced at Ad-Hoh's words... but he was right. Perhaps a more forceful method would be needed...

Happy Birthday guys, hope it was a good one. No, it's the 10 year gap between them.

"What if we told him we needed the lowered prices in order to protect his mother? And besides, I think this situation calls for a more diplomatic approach... I have no doubt he would easily slip through our fingers if we tried to lock him up again."

That would be pretty interesting... especially since Docken would be able to fight from the back row. No enemy below Level 30 would be able to damage him.

Hybros glances at the party. He hoped that he could some sort of reaction out of the half-orc, but he had to tread carefully. "What should we say?" he whispers to the party.

"Wait a minute..." Hybros snatches his outstretched hand full of gold back. "Sham... you're Scheherazade's child, are you not?" OoC: Cancel that purchase of mine.
