Having hosted Guts now, I must say that I really like the way Alchemist has been balanced. Guts is extremely powerful, but that's lessened somewhat by the fact that Alchemist serves more as a support class. Even with the Perquisite trait that makes purchasing buffing consumables easier, a Lucky Alchemist will produce a lot of items (which he can then use in battle while attacking/creating more items). Explosion is a small but effective balancing factor. Everything about the class is synergistic, and the way it turned out is far superior to its original rendition when it had ether for healing and scroll casting. That role has been divided among Chi Monks and Scholars in the Expert Classes, I think, so Alchemist is a unique class that's really fun to play and host. I meant to comment on Demonologist earlier, but here it is now. I really like the idea of gaining and spending health instead of ether for the class - it makes a neat combination of Rogue Thief, Cleric and Mage. I do think that the rolls need to be better - compared to the other Master Classes, they're pretty weak. I like the idea of the Cursed effect on the SHIELD roll, but the 2xWP+level AOE damage seems out of place. How about something that drains health? Mirroring the Cursed-effect itself, the Demonologist could gain 1/10th of all enemies' max (or current) health. Rift also seems superfluous - Mortal Aim/Spell Aim/Lesser Heal would seem more appropriate. Maybe Special Mirror could be thrown in for the chaotic flavor as well.

Results of Round 1 of Battle 9: >Hoke vs. Aepyornis A - Spell (126 lightning dmg, -1 ether) Tesni vs. Hungry Bear - Counter (21-17=4 dmg Tesni, 512 fire dmg Hungry Bear, KO) >Guts uses Purging Water (all positive effects removed from enemies) >Guts vs. Raindeer A - Special Damage Critical Hit (328 dmg, KO, dual strike: Raindeer B KO, +3 health) >Guts vs. Volt Ant A - Hit SHIELD (Mixture: Explosion!

The enemies take their chance to pound on the remaining heroes, leaving Atramor and Tesni severely weakened. For once, the battle seems dire for four of Heroica's best.

"I would disagree, Em. I have found many answers and friends below, despite my troubles..."

"Thank you, both of you. They are... like me in some ways. But they have not seen this world like I have, though I think they were watching me somehow. They do not realize that the world has changed much since they left it. They have... ideas about what to do next that I am not sure are wise." "Ehehm, demons, no, erm, not exactly. We were originally from Olegaia. Though I think our appearance had to do with our departure..." "There are many tunnels and passageways below this city. I have been through many of them, but no one can know where they lead or what is down there. I will tell you that there are many secrets down there, and ancient history. These streets that we walk on and the people of this city... Eubric, is only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, heheheh..."

QM Note: Still waiting on Pie's input. I'll run the round in a few hours with him targeting the first enemy if he doesn't post.

Hybros nodded. "I have, after a very long time of searching. As I was telling En Sabah Nur here, they have returned. I am both glad and nervous. What now? I have never thought about what I would do if I actually achieved my life's goal, heheh... So I am here. I feel I am needed in Eubric and the rest of the world still. Perhaps that will become clear to me soon, but for now I am content."

"I see..." Hybros didn't really know what to say, or if he should console his friends. "Ehem, yes, actually, we trained together as alchemists not long ago. I suppose I could have a small amount of mead... eheh. For you? And Nur, Em?" He orders from Schezerade. "A quest or two since we last met. On both times people seemed intent on creating life in ways that they were not meant to be created, at least not as we know it, heh. And since then, well... I have been below ground again. My people... they have returned to Olegaia. I have much to learn from them, and they from I. The change has been... Well, erm, I guess things are different now."

An Artisan with the Tin Knight set, Marauder's Mantle and Shadeaux Cape? *crunches numbers* 96 SP...

"Hm, I have not heard of many heroes dying on a quest... Interesting... How did it happen? Eheh..." "Boomingham." Hybros grinned, and raised his teacup. "So good to see you again, heheh." He looked between the Paladin and the Warden as they conversed. "It seems that you two were on a quest together... and came back one less..."

"Well enough, eheh. I have had some quests of my own as well. It seems you have seen better days... heheheheh." Hybros grinned, but then looked away in embarrassment of his pun. "Ehem, how are you, Em?" He looked around the table. It seemed that the dwarf from earlier must have slipped away during his and Nur's conversation.

Hybros signaled 'Em' over. He explained to Nur, "He is a strong-willed hero. I was with him when we ventured below Eubric to find Moon Elf ruins."

"Hmm..." Hybros nodded as he listened to Nur. "I am also a traveler, like you. For a half-century I roamed the High and Low Kingdoms and their surrounding lands before coming here. So I think you could say that we live longer than that amount of time, eheh... although I am not sure. My people have been through some... special circumstances. Maybe even they do not know, but we are similar in stature to gnomes, and they only live up to 40 years." He took another long sip from his tea, this time gazing at Nur over the rim with his crimson eyes. He put the cup down and noticed Em enter the Hall. He nodded to his former questmate. He would have some stories to exchange with the Warden.

I'd prefer those pretty renders over the raw LDD shots (no offense to QMs who do that).

QM Note: Oh, yes, my mistake. We can assume that.

"Hm, it is not a matter of being unique. My feelings are... mixed. My people do not understand what the world has become since they were gone. So much has changed, it seems. They do not know this land like I do. But it has been only goal for entire life to find them, and now that I have, I still feel that I have something to fulfill. I was drawn to this city for its many secrets and extensive history, and I have found many answers here... Yet, I think I was drawn here for another reason. Do you feel this way, Nur? What is your purpose here?"

"Heh! You could say that. But really my people are from Olegaia, and were here before many. Until recently there was only me, but my people have returned to Olegaia. Few know my people today, and most records of us have been lost to time..." Hybros became a little uneasy, shifting uncomfortably. He wondered if he should be revealing this information to a stranger.

"Erm, probably not too well. They have... just experienced recovery from dark times. Perhaps another time in the future, eheh." Hybros takes a long sip of his tea, looking to the bottom of the cup to avoid Nur's eye. "Where is it that you are from?"

"A member, well, no, but I am in their good graces, as it were, eheh. I and another hero finished learning their ways recently, but I have yet to test these skills in battle." Hybros ordered a tea and turned back to Nur. "I am many things, and I used ethereal power not long ago, as my people once did - ehem, do. Like you, we specialize in manipulating the earth, as well as plants and trees. I am also a skilled Assassin, but I have long since hung up the cloaks of other assassins from which I procured them from, heheheh..."

QM Note: I've fixed last round. Hoke is not Afraid, and targeted Woodwose B instead. He's not poisoned because Woodwose B was stunned. Would you like to put Atramor higher in the battle order? I'll run the round as soon as someone okay's the BO.
