Alexis digs and finds nothing. Nur leads West again. This time three paths branch off: East, Southwest, and Southeast. QM Note: Sick of the same picture yet? I'm going to take a break until tomorrow, allow the other players to participate if they so wish.

Alexis digs, and finds a Silver Ore! Silver Ore (worth 60 gold) The elf then tries her pickax on the thick rock and tree wall, but it seems solid. The pickax barely makes a dent. The party then heads farther south, and comes to another clearing. Two paths lead West and South. What will the party do?

Another clearing. This time there is only one other path, South, besides the way the party came, East. What will the party do?

They all mean the same thing. I can kind of understand where you might have misread it, but you probably should have looked at the official description (Jeb's) and asked questions if you were unsure of the effect before buying it from Masked. I'm not sure what you're complaining about, exactly. Even if the wording was extremely different (it's not), it is neither the party members' nor my responsibility to ensure that you fully understand the effect of your own weapon. Are you trying to imply that someone tricked you?

The party heads East, and comes to anther clearing. Alf does his customary search, and finds two tonics hidden in the bushes. He wonders how they got there, and hands them to Nur. Party Leader, how will the loot be divided? 2x Tonic (restores 5 ether to target) The clearing, unsurprisingly, offers two more paths, leading Southwest and East. What will the party do?

Whoopsie. Nadir meant that the person with the most votes gets lynched. Please reread remember what I said with that in mind.

A roll of 3 is a hit... You spend 5 ether to garuntee a hit. Useful in circumstances where the battle might depend on it (i.e. Mirror Battle in Quest #10).

Alf digs, and finds nothing. He searches the surrounding area, which yields nothing. Atramor searches for enemies, but none in are in the vicinity.

Nadir doesn't know... to him, it still seems like this argument is a battle of egos. Mehmet does make some strong points, even though they count on references to books. Then again, so do Patrick's... For one, Nadir does not think Penelope is a Cultist. Her reasoning is solid; why would she get in the middle of an argument when she could sit back and watch like the other Cultists? That is, assuming both Patrick and Mehmet were innocent, and Penelope was a Cultist. Another possibility is that both Patrick and Penelope are Cultists, but Nadir doesn't think it likely that two Cultists would so blatantly look... well, allied. Something just doesn't add up here. Nadir hates to "split the vote" more, but he must speak his mind. It seems to Nadir that the wrong choice will be made anyway, with votes going in different directions. Yes, we need a majority, but if the votes are so evenly split that gives the Cultists more power, since ultimately they can have a huge part in who gets lynched. On that note, Nadir will switch votes. Unvote: Toulouse Leplot (WhiteFang) Vote: Patrick Fitzwilliam (def) Nadir will just see where this goes...

QM Note: Quarry, I did do that originally, but I changed because I thought it would be out of my boundaries as a QM. I'm sure you would've used Lightning, but is it up to me to assume that? In any case I will follow what you said from now on.

Alexis finally ends it with a swift arrow. The Phoenix screams, and bursts into flames. The party members shield themselves against the extreme heat, and when they open their eyes the jungle has been defrosted and the Phoenix has disappeared. Ellaria spots a pile of ash on the ground, but it is swept away by a sudden gust of wind before she can do anything. There are, however, three phoenix feathers left behind, which can be made into Phoenix Essences. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! All party members gain half a level, and the enemies drop 3x Phoenix Essences.

"Well done heroes, it's just a shame that phoenix isn't around anymore. A purty bird it was, I'm sure it woulda made fer a decent price 'round Eubric harbor. It oughta show up someday, though." The once-frozen landscape offers three more paths, as the party has become accustomed to since their arrival on the strange island. Will the party go East, Northeast, or North?

Results of Round 3 of Phoenix Encounter Ellaria Arbour vs. Snake A - Miss Namyrra Uq vs. Snake D - Great Spell En Sabah Nur vs. Phoenix - Miss Special Damage Ocven the Ice Dragon vs. Phoenix - Spirit Attack Alexis Fenral vs. Snake C - Summon Burst While half of the party is stunned, Ellaria tries to hit Snake A with her fire staff. It evades, but Namyrra manages to cast a Great Spell, finishing Snake D instantly. Nur also misses. Ocven attacks the Phoenix for another 17 damage, and then something magnificent begins to happen. Ocven starts to glow with brilliant light, and suddenly bursts in a flash of energy. The once tropical environment has now become a barren snowy wasteland. The trees are frozen in place and even Ignus Fatuus is dimmed by the blizzard. Both remaining snakes are first frozen solid, then shatter into a million tiny shards. The Phoenix is also damaged, but Ocven is nowhere to be seen. Despite the cold, Atramor, Alf, and Alexis thaw from their stunned states, and jump back into battle.

QM Note: BAP, first, Alf cannot act this round because he is stunned. Second, it would also take Nur's turn to recieve the staff. Third, I don't believe that is the correct effect of the Focal Staff, as seen here. On that note, the official description of the Stunned effect says that the stunned character loses their next turn, so Alexis may act once the next round in addition to Ocven's turn.

QM Note: My apologies for another mistake. Alf should not have received damage from the free hit last round because of Nur's Magic Burst. Fixed.

Nadir knew someone would say this. Nadir isn't being a hypocrite. At all. Just because we voted for the same person doesn't mean we voted for the same reasons. Jennifer was voting just for the sake of voting. She didn't seem to care who it was--she was willing to follow the vote on anyone. I actually had reasons. The difference is not in who, but in how. What makes you think he knows better than any of us who is innocent and who isn't? He even said himself that he didn't, so this sudden utmost faith in Patrick is really uncalled for in Nadir's opinion.

"Right, odomanons," Hybros said, clueless. He wondered at the strange devices humans seemed to come up with. "I think we should try to sway them another way," Hybros whispered to the party. "They're supplying weapons, and that could mean trouble for both us and the Bonapartes distracting the ships for us. That means less time we have inside here. So... we could try to persuade them to stop. They seem to think we work for Jolly Roger. Perhaps Christopher could help us on that front?". "Right, Erdathcath, exactly what I was going to say, hehe".

Hm. While Nadir was cleaning up after Aloysius, it seems that some heated discussions have been going on. Nadir, for one, thinks that both Mehmed and Patrick are innocent, and the real culprits are either watching quietly or fueling the fire that puts both Innocents on the line. I am not suspicious of one or the other, at least to the extent of voting for one of them. Soo... Vote: Jennifer Taylor (Sandy)? No? Okay, maybe it would have been funnier if Nadir had done it before the actual first vote had been cast. Or not... Unvote: Jennifer Taylor (Sandy) You see, Nadir was just pointing out the silliness of your... strategy. Surely, you must have some kind of suspicion after all of this talk and debate? It seems to Nadir that this bandwagon strategy is overly passive, even at this stage of our current crises. As for Nadir, he thinks that he will put his word in early and agree with the notion that Mr. Leplot seems rather... unhelpful and quiet. Vote: Toulouse Leplot (WhiteFang) Nadir is not saying that Toulouse is much more suspicious than anyone else, but at this point Nadir does not see a clear best option. Nadir is willing to change his vote should something more substantial come up (as unlikely as that seems).

Results of Round 2 of Phoenix Encounter Alf Gregory vs. Snake A - Special Damage Ellaria Arbour vs. Phoenix - Seal Atramor Gibbin vs. Snake B - Special Damage Alexis Fenral vs. Phoenix - Summon Ocven the Ice Dragon Ocven vs. Phoenix - Spirit Attack Alexis Fenral vs. Snake E - Special Damage Namyrra Uq vs. Snake D - Miss En Sabah Nur vs. Phoenix - Magic Burst (Water) The battle continues. Alf takes a nasty bite from Snake A, leaving him stunned for the next turn. Ellaria incapacitates the Phoenix further by sealing it. The mystic bird flies around in circles, unable to deal any damage for the time being. Atramor also becomes paralyzed, but Alexis calls Ocven the Ice Dragon to the field once again, which engages the Phoenix in a battle of mythical creatures and causes 17 damage. It will act in Alexis' stead for the next round since she joins Atramor and Alf, stunned. Namrrya's ice spell missed Snake D, but Nur is lucky once again and another tidal waves washes over the opponents, which kills Snakes B and E (18 damage).

"I think we should see what they're doing first. Maybe it can give us a hint on how they can help us," murmurs Hybros. He then looks at what the scientists seem to be making, and replies to the woman: "Yes, hehe... we were just checking on the progress of the eh... current project. Er... what do you call it again?".

So when's lynch lunch? Aloysius is getting hungry again. Nadir is also in favor of voting for someone, though just like everyone else he doesn't know who to start with. The chef did volunteer himself, though Nadir hopes he has enough Fiber One bars to last the rest of the journey with no cook.

Hey Doc, just curious, how is Spag able to attack from across the field? I looked for it but couldn't find the answer.

Cleaning up fecal matter, what do you think Nadir meant?

Also, Nadir is starting to think this Mehmed character pretty strange. He doesn't even know what year it is, so does he even know how to cook?

*Hands Amed a FiberOne bar*. Nadir thinks that he won't be cleaning up after you.

The expression/belief is pretty common... though I'm all for Lost Easter eggs. Also, I wanted to say that the MOCs for this game so far are awesome. Is that the Temple of the Crystal Skull base I see?
