"Grr... this rat is sure elusive. I'll attack the dark grey rat once more with Zoot's Reaper from the front row!"

Well that was fast, thanks a lot! I'll look forward to them. Yes, but I was kidding about the sleeves. The only "skin" showing is on his hands and face.

Sleeves? Hybros has black skin, remember? Oh, yes, I don't need the bandanna, I'm sure it wouldn't fit. Didn't know if the cape would fit, but I guess you never know until you try. Would you mind seeing if it would work with a regular black cape (just to see if it would work with the vampire one)?

First off, I have to compliment you, Sandy, on the MOCs of Quest 14. Really nice job on those. Second, I would like to ask a favor of anyone who can do this for me: I've been trying to come up with a minifigure for Hybros' Black Knight form, but I don't really have the pieces. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to build the minifig and take a picture for me, when someone had the time. Here's what I would need: Torso Shoulder armor Shield (or this, which would look better?) ...with Hybros' parts that he already has (black skull, black witch hat, vampire cape, short black legs, and his scythe). Here's the full picture. Any help would be much appreciated.

"Patience is a virtue, young man. You're time will come."

"Indeed! I am quite surprised at the lack of heroes around lately, though of course they must be on other quests. For their sake, I do hope a cleric signs up!"

No, it wasn't me, I can assure you that. Well, I can't really assure you, but I can at least tell you. So about this Scum thing... I wonder if, after resurrection, Ra's was transferred to this "Scum" side, perhaps by himself. I wonder if his requirements were to team up with the Agents, but didn't know who they were. I forgot the term, but we've definitely seen it in these games... of life before. Otherwise, there really is a third faction, and they're the ones who we haven't been catching.

"I will attack the dark grey rat from the front with Zoot's Reaper again!"

"Heheh... looks like that practice paid off. Now I'll attack the Kitchen Rat (Dark Gray) with Zoot's Reaper from the front row."

It's no problem, I was just teasing you in character.

Hybros rolls his eyes. Deaf and blind? He started to have second thoughts about this elf. Of course, he tried to sound polite as he pointed out that there were still the Light Gray and Dark Gray rats that had yet to be targeted. "Save that bomb for when we really need it, friend."

Hybros wondered if Erdathcath was deaf. He had always heard that elves had extremely sensitive hearing. "Eheh... I'm already targeting the brown rat..."

"Actually, I think we could focus on the most dangerous enemies since I have this skeleton decoy here, but of course it's up to you, Eric. Maybe we should attack one enemy each while we can, and save the decoy for later." Hybros hopped to the back row, drawing his throwing knife. He hadn't used it yet in battle, but had hopefully perfected his aim in practice. "I'll throw my throwing knife at the Kitchen Rat (Brown) from the back row!"

Ah, yes, I do think that would be a good idea. I hope Doc's new quest will bring those enhancements he spoke of... Well, I didn't realize that the Assassins didn't really have that much power, so personally I think the Assassin is fie (though non-Rogues might disagree ). As for the Berserker, I guess we should see it tested before any changes are made, like others have said. I guess I got a little ahead of myself when suggesting changes already.

"Yes, I think so, Eric. Looks like we fought Umbra for nothing, hehehe..." "Thanks for the rum, though of course I won't be drinking it, hehe."

Might as well not split the vote, so I'll Vote: Ra's Al Ghul/ Fred Fred Burger Nothing more I can do on Ivy.

Right, of course. I do think the instant KO would be hard to deal with at times, but at least it doesn't affect multiple enemies. Like Jeb said, a good solution might be to just add more enemies, and make them more powerful. But is that really balancing to all the other factors? One enemy is normally focused on anyway, and the Berserker can attack multiple enemies at once. I realize this too. Venom has become mostly useless for harder quests now, maybe something could be done to give it more of an effect (more than 1 damage). Maybe determine the severity of the poison by the WP of the weapon that inflicted it? What are those distinct weaknesses? The ones already mentioned, with the Berserker only being able to target one enemy at a time? As I mentioned before, maybe their Natural Respite skill could be lessened to only half of their level value to regain health. Or, the Battle Cry causing a stunned effect for a turn. On another note, the Bonapartes are a little sad that they're getting fewer sign-ups. Is it something about the sea that really scares people? Let me tell you, the quest will be very hard without a cleric.

I'm still very worried about Ivy. I don't buy into a word she says, and if she really is a bomb, then targeting her tonight would be foolish. That would mean the only way to safely take her out would be to lynch her. But, now you bring up the fact that Ra's was unable to be killed last night, that's also concerning. I'm all for lynching either one, but like I said... Ivy could be the bigger threat.

*sigh* Now you're just making things difficult. Behind the scenes... hmm, now that rings a bell. Possibly, maybe, I've told you everything I know, and in return you tell me nothing. Gasp! Yes, I'm the one acting like a five-year old. That is, if trying to completely understand where someone is coming from is considered a tantrum.

And as I've said, mere hours ago, I don't know what my night actions do in the first place. Does me not being open about that fact, and everything else I've shared with you, make me more unhelpful than, say a vanilla townie? Me at least trying to reach out and give you what I have... not once did I think that I was being unhelpful by doing that. If it helps, I'll be glad to not tell you anything anymore.

I was actually talking to those who've openly accused me, Doll and Music Man. So... I'm different from anyone else, how? That is what I'm trying to figure out, and you still haven't specified how I've been especially unhelpful. If that makes me bitchy, scummy, and whatnot then so be it. I'm just trying to understand what you were getting at in your initial... accusation, comment, whatever you would like to call it.

Again, really? I had already stated my suspicions on Ra's, and I do believe him to be scum. As I said, I find Ivy to be the bigger threat, and if the blocking/whatever is going to be done about it tonight fails and five or six Criminals suddenly explode... well don't say I didn't tell you so. And I'm sure if Ivy really is the arsonist, then the scum will do everything in their power to make sure that bomb goes off tonight. Excuse me for trying to look at all of the threats here. And, it's a little insulting that you think that I would just come out into the open and "flail", as you say, if I were scum. Obviously I would have just ignored, but no I'm being as open as possible about it. I'm not disagreeing with you on that, I am defensive and uppity. But as I said it was because of your accusation, and later your high-and-mighty attitude. Geez, no wonder why everyone's so bitchy. You've been right most of the time so far, but let's not start accusing everyone of treachery. We're not all scum, and I really don't understand how you find me to be so unhelpful.

Which is why I said "if". And why not? It might only be a one-shot thing, so why not take your chances and prime everyone you can? You're welcome. Well excuse me if I'm not even told what my night actions do. Hell, I even attempted to investigate Deadshot, but as I told you, I was blocked. Believe it or not. In addition, I had stated that I would target whoever you would like me to, but you haven't said anything to me except ask for results, which I've so willingly given to you. Unhelpful of me, no? It was never my intend to "extend the life of a scummy". As you've so kindly shared, I clearly was suspicious of him before his name was even brought to the table, publicly. Fishing for information? Sounds more like trying to avoid a conflict to me. I was simply asking in case you didn't want one of the ones I had suspected to be brought up in public, so that there wouldn't be a contradiction come voting time. And I haven't pressured you at all for that information--you didn't want to share so I left it alone. Unlike when you demanded to know what my night action was. Oh, right, besides the fact that I was "cleared" by an investigation, have given you all of the info concerning my role and actions, and have voted for scum every single day. But other than those things, you're right, I don't have any info to share. Does that make me unhelpful? Nope, still don't get it. See above. Yup, haven't really done anything to bring down scum. And it sounded a lot like an accusation to me: So excuse me if I'm "uppity" to an accusation. Your condescending tone doesn't really help anyone, either. Oh, yes, I've voted out... what's it? Five of my own teammates, fairly early in the voting process each time, just to save myself? A wonderful conclusion, well done, you caught me.

If you're being protected by a doctor, you're not actually safe. Usually, the arsonist action ignores any protection since the targets are already primed. Are you serious? Yes, I'm being completely unhelpful by voting for scum every day, giving you my night action results every night, and--what's that, I'm being obtuse today? By that you mean helpful, right? I'm taking the information and forming a conclusion. Ivy is obviously the biggest threat today, so that's where my vote is going. On top of all that, I never once tried to get information from you. So no, I'm not working with you I'm working for you. What a joke...
