I'm in full support of the second character becoming available after 10 completed quests/5 hosted quests. That means a lot of players can start a second character right now. Let's see how it works out! On a side note, from the clarification of the second character only having to be acquainted with the first PC, does that mean NPCs from other QMs can become PCs with permission? Chromeknight could play Denerii if she wanted to for example and I think it would work out well. Or Thothwick with Hoptet, Nyx with XX... I'm undecided about changing the requirements for Veteran Classes, though. On one hand I'm opposed to limiting access to those who visit the Fields (it isn't everyone's cup of tea and it's not fair to exclude them), but on the other, it would go a long way to changing the essence of the Fields. The purpose and accessibility (along with other things discussed in PM) need to change for the FoG, and I think that the Veteran's Badge could be a good step towards that. On the subject of slowing down, I have to agree with Pie and others at the near-impossibility of advancing in this game after a certain point - both stats and roleplaying-wise. I plan on sticking with Hybros for a while, but I'm not really interested in leveling him up for another 4-6 years just to reach the Master Classes. And the game's slowness affects the interaction and development of characters, too, so I agree with Kinto that more "short & sweet" quests need to be around. I do also agree that easier accessibility to second characters will (hopefully) liven things up.

Was just about to update - been busy with work. Thanks for keeping an eye on the calculations, Q! I've accounted for the corrections this round. But Mushroomhead C should have 105 health, not 110.

"Dead. Do you understand? You can not find them, and you will not have answers. There are Moon Elves, living today, not far from here. But you can not kill or capture them, or anyone else. Now what is your plan?" Hybros glances sideways to Soryx. "Hm, I think you are right. Their minds are limited to only what they have experienced, it seems. Which would also mean that they do not know of any consequence to their actions. Will they learn? They may cause too much destruction before they do..."

"They are dead. Anyone connected to that event is long dead or unreachable. You will do no good searching for answers, though no doubt that will stop you. And you cannot continue to terrorize people for the sake of this. It seems you will stop at nothing and as though your... existence depends on receiving this answer. Is this true?"

Hybros shifted uneasily. The Moon Elves' - and these creatures' - connections to the moon was uncanny. Lunacy. "I do not believe any of us, nor the people of Zylstra, nor any living being for that matter knows the exact reason for the death of the Moon Elves. It was a long time ago," he answered the astronomer (whatever that was). Recalling his trawls through the Heroica Library, he continued. "The was a priest, demons, wizards, and the sinking of this whole city. Beyond that, I do not know." "I do not understand why you had to multiply an army, possess the Moon Elf corpses, capture the people of Zylstra, and create imitations of them. If an answer was all you were looking for, why imprison an entire city? They do not know the answer, as I am sure you discovered. So if not to kill them, then for what reason?" Hybros made sure to draw his Sword of Ancestral Hatred a little out of the sheath, so a band of the dark metal glimmered in the moonlight, trying to be as intimidating as possible. "And we did not appreciate having to deal with those minions out there. I would speak quickly and truthfully if you value anything that you have worked for, hehe..."

"Ehem, okay... I do not really understand... what are the Shades? They seemed to... share one mind, and the one possessing the painting device talked to us. And the Shade in Zylstra was speaking in some sort of Elvish to us. What does that, and the kidnappings, and the Moon Elves have to do with this? And, ehehm, who is this?" He didn't have to indicate who he was talking about.

Yeah, if the HP boosts stacked everyone could just switch to their Knight/Cleric-based advanced class before going to an expert class to get the biggest boost.

Nur is awesome. I like how he does his own thing without much regard to other PCs, but still leaves an impression. He's always reminded me of this guy.

Hybros nodded to the U'Kin. "I hope I can say that it is good to see you, Doctor, eheh... Would you mind explaining all this? The kidnappings, the painting device, the shades, the elves... all of it." His voice was amiable but his crimson eyes burned with intimidation. He ignored the Moon Elf before him for the time being, trying to feint the uneasiness she was giving to him. He could see her intense gaze out of the corner of his eye as he spoke. Instinctively, he gripped the hilt of his sword.

I'd also prefer continuity, but yes it's possible the Fenarian is lying...

"Fine, stay here. We are going." Hybros swallows his Fenghuang Essence, a Meaf, and Mulled Wine before entering the forge.

Good choice for the armor, MDM. A while ago you posted all of Hoke's appearances side by side - it was neat to see his transformation from a simple knight in peasant's clothes to a heavily-armored flag-bearer. The full-body armor is even the right color. One thing to note though, is that shields can't be imbued with gems or scrolls. On another note, I'm really liking the fortune teller in 102. The interactions with her seem authentic, as in the QM's knowledge of the character's past/present/future isn't too obvious through the teller, while still having the fortunes be helpful and entertaining. Nerwen's dream is especially intriguing. I seem to remember Nerwen talking to a priestess from Quest 44 about her dreams, is this a continuation of that? And are the dreams your own creation, CK, or something a QM passed onto you? Either way, this, too, seems authentic.

"Neither do I, eheh... the old men in our party would seem to think differently." "This is as much your problem as anyone else in Zylstra, Melvin. What were you doing there anyway? I thought you had a ship or something, heh." "I have no intention of killing the doctor before he has had words to say. Anyone who attempts to do otherwise will have to deal with me. Those who are coming under those conditions, let us go."

"Well then, what do you think, Soryx? Your mission and ours are the same - to stop the threat to Zylstra. Do you think killing the doctor will achieve that? And you, Wally? Eva, Melvin?" "I still do not believe we will know we have made the right decision until we enter that room. It appears as though some of us have made up our minds already, however..."

"Fine. It is not my decision what is best for the people of Zylstra. We do not have time to go and ask them, and I doubt they would be in a condition to answer. But the doctor's fate is not in my hands, nor will his blood be." Hybros pulls off the Baron's Pauldrons, dusting off his Cloak of the Red Assassin in the process in a showy manner before pulling his Sticky Gloves on. He looked toward the forge doors, indicating that he was ready.

I think that was a good call. I agree that all battles should be winnable.

96: There is absolutely nothing Atramor can do to win that fight. Regulators: all attacks are light/dark elemental by default. Enemy: immune to Light and Dark.

Hybros looked down, knowing the irony of that statement, for he planned to do the same thing. What if he did actually find his people, and they were infested with a similar magic? Or worse, they themselves were hostile... He shook his head. "Killing him is not the answer. As I said before, killing without sense is never the answer. Every kill I have claimed has been for a good reason - can you or the Blue Assassins say the same? If you are going to insist on killing the doctor, then I will not let you in those doors. There is no doubt that if we get out of this alive, you will try to kill the doctor anyway. I can not let that happen. Not without knowing the full story behind this." "You have helped us this far. You need to help save your city. It will be difficult to defeat whatever is in there without your help. But I need your word that you will not kill the doctor, not without knowing what he has to say first." Hybros tries to sound as commanding as he can. (OOC: is Command not working?)

QM Note: Will update first thing tomorrow. Sorry guys, just don't have the time today.

"You will do no such thing." Hybros commands Posco. "The threat has been defeated. We will see about this Doctor before we make an death threats. I doubt these circumstances were as much his fault as Wally's... I do not believe they intended for this to happen."
