"I can take a second hit, so I'll attack a Death Progg from the back. He isn't poisoned anymore, by the way, Sir, though I think the real one is not a. I think we will have to chose between A and B. No point just taking the free hits, as if we don't figure out which one he is, I doubt he'll change, though perhaps we should all attack from the back row."

"Would it be possible, under any circumstances, to convince you to leave the vault? Besides, I'm starting to feel fed up with all this trying to talk sense into crazy people nonsense. There was only 3 groups of people - sorry, Proggs, who I managed to convince to leave peacefully, and two of them didn't want to kill us anyway."

"Don't worry about me, it's more important you get unjinxed and heal Mizuki. I'll use my Grand Potion on you." Erik uses his Grand Potion on Pretzel. Daxus attacks Death Progg C from the front row. (Only once) Mizuki, if you could use a potion on Daxus, that'd be great. I know he has a grand potion, but that seems kind-of overkill.

"Daxus, use a potion on me and I'll attack from the front. Death Progg B."

"Only one target left, so we all attack him. Pretzel, seal the death Progg, and heal me, and I'll use a potion on Daxus, as neither of us can take a hit from the Death Progg. Daxus, attack the death Progg twice from the front row. Mizuki, do the same." Order Pretzel (seal) Erik Daxus Mizuki Pretzel (heal) Daxus Mizuki "If any of you guys want to do something different, go ahead."

"Sounds good. Let's smash some face-grills in!" Erik attacks Artillery Progg, Front row. Daxus attacks Death Progg, Back row, then Artillery Progg, Front row.

"If the Artillery Progg falls, those other attacks will be redirected to the Death Progg. So those people targeting the Artillery Progg may wish to be careful, though the Nostrums should keep them alive." Erik targets the Artillery Progg from the front row. Daxus targets the Death Progg and Artillery Progg from the front row.

@Endgame: Just clarifying "You hear that, other heroes? This monk here is fine with letting me leave and come back, as long as he gets his paycheck! How noble! How holy!" - does that mean we can avoid the final battle, and still get the reward? @Sandy and Zakura: What about flintlock pistols? Or Terry Pratchett-style pistol crossbows.

As the Death Progg throws Punii across the room, Erik draws Voltedge and points it at the Death Progg. "Stupid beast. I'm fed up with trying to reason with your kind. I'll kill you, but you can watch your two minions die first." Erik swings at Artillery Progg A from the front row.

"The Phoenix essence, Smelling salts, and Proggsbane should all go to Sir Pretzel, and the Mead to Mizuki, though I'm not party leader, so that's not really my call. Daxus, I suggest you drink that Nostrum, Smelling salts, and Mead, and if your mugs aren't increased by that significantly enough to cover the costs, I'll make it up to you afterwards. Meanwhile, Erik enjoys his Mead. So; If the consumables don't increase the money Daxus makes from Mugs by at least 75 Gold (total cost of consumables, Eubric Market value), Erik will make up the difference.

"Well, due to the lack of objections, we will make: 1 Mead, 1 Phoenix Essence, 1 Smelling Salts, Using Sir Pretzels Grand potion, and one of my potions. The other ingredients can come from anywhere." "I'll just go grab those bits from your cart, if that's ok with you, Sir?" Erik says, however he does not give Monk Pretzel a chance to reply, before reaching in and grabbing the ingredients. At the same time, he tries to take Pretzels Holy Bomb, and hand it to Punii. (@ Pathaldric: I don't see any disadvantage to Punii having all the bombs, and this way you can stay in character, but stop/yell at Erik if you disagree.)

"I think we should do our brewing first, as we can always chose who uses the Proggsbane later. Does anyone object to making a phoenix essence, a mead for Mizuki, and smelling salts for Sir? Mizuki can hit the enemy about as hard as me, and she has a nostrum and smelling salts to add to that. We could all benefit from Sir being able to heal two of us each round, and that would also let him use the poison on the Death Progg, which would free up Daxus to do some more damage as well."

"I can't say I like many of your race, but you guys were decent enough, I guess. Good luck." Erik turns to Sir. "Due to the Death Proggs armour, we will probably need to pour it directly down his throat for it to work. In that case, it should go to Daxus, as he does the least damage, aside from you, sir, but you'll probably need to seal it quickly, and the sooner we get it poisoned the better. As for the brewing, once we've made the phoenix essence, we'll have 3 green essences and 2 blue essences left. I think we should make a mead for Mizuki, that'd leave us on 2 green and a blue. Dunno what we should make after that, though.

"Haha haha. Who's laughing now, you stupid armoured slug?" Erik hacks at the juggernaut for a short time, but soon calms down. He uses the claw on Voltedge. "I reckon we should listen at each door we come to, before we go through, if we want to find out where the Death Progg is. Assuming he's bigger than that thing was, he'll probably make a lot of noise." With that, Erik listens at the door that the Juggernaut was guarding. "I don't suppose we could divert the water from that other room to flow under the door into the Death Progg's room, and I could electrify it with my sword?

"No need for me to take a potion just yet." Erik swings at Juggernaut from the back row.

"Sir, if you want to heal Mizuki, I'll distract him with this cannonball. Alternatively, if you seal him, I'll attack from the back row, and keep him distracted that way."

There's really no hurry. Enjoy your vacation.

"I'm ready to go and smash that filthy beast's head in. Oh, that's a good point. Here. Though I'm sure we won't need it this time." Erik passes his smoke bomb to Pretzel.

"I don't think we should use the bombs, because even if we do knock out Progg A, he might be revived by the Juggernaut after we flee. As for what I said before about cutting the head off the Progg, I meant the one that we already K/O'ed. He won't be able to fight back, so there is no chance of him getting a special damage hit. It would just ensure that he is not revived after we flee."

"I think it's too risky to keep going - two of those special damages could take us all out. We'll have to flee, I suppose. Suggested battle order/actions: Someone remove Progg B's head. I will do that, since I do not have a smoke bomb. Someone throw a smoke bomb. Mizuki? Pretzel? We will have fled by then, so it will not matter. Unless someone objects, I (Daxus) will remove the head from Progg B."

"If one of us gets the chance, we should make sure that any fallen enemies are dead. Maybe cut off their heads or something. Then if we have to restart the battle, even if these guys heal somehow between battles, I doubt they can bring their allies back from the dead." Daxus attacks the Juggernaut from the front row.

"Nah, I think we should try and K/O the last Progg, then flee, heal, and come back to fight the Juggernaut."

Daxus looks at Erik. "I don't care about Daxus! I want my XP!" Daxus uses his phoenix essence on Erik. "Yeah, you can definitely survive this round, and you have a smoke bomb. Another round sounds like a good idea."

"I reckon Sir should try and seal the Juggernaut, and Daxus should finish off that other Progg. Then me and Mizuki can attack the Juggernaut. Daxus can go first, then Sir, then Mizuki, then I'll go last." Erik attacks Juggernaut from the Front Row.
