"Hmm, Brew that restores. Could mean a remedy. What do you guys think?"

"Thanks Sir!" Erik looks in the barrel in the front left corner of the room.

"My Frenzy wouldn't kill any of them anyway, so it makes sense for the rogues to go first, so if they get a mug they steal more money." "But It's probably too late to change (Endgame is posting), so don't worry about changing anything. Maybe just keep this in mind for later battles."

"Daxus, I'd advise you to finish off larva A, while I take a potion from the back row." "Sir, feel free to put me first in the battle order, as I'm in the back row anyway, and my health will be back up, though if I'm taking that free hit from the pupa, I don't think I'll be much help if those vermin are still alive for the fourth round. That one will do least damage anyway, so I think you or Mizuki should target him if possible."

"Once you guys have killed the eggs, you can help me with these two. I'd rather attack the pupa from the front row, and then next turn you guys can finish off the pupa and larvae. I'd need a Critical Hit to finish off the Larvae anyway, or I could hit the Pupa for 32 damage instead." "I'm sticking to attacking the Pupa from the Front Row"

"If I'm going first in the battle order, I'd rather target the pupa to make sure I survive to kill the rest of them." Erik swings at the Progg Pupa from the front row with his spear.

Erik turns to the rest of the party. "If it's all fine with you lot, I want some revenge. These creatures seem particularly vicious - they attacked us on sight last time, and the only reason they haven't done so now is because they don't stand a chance. Besides, we were hired to get rid of all of them. If we want the quest reward, we're going to have to kill these sooner or later. I vote we kill them now, and destroy those eggs before they get the chance to hatch."

"My spear thirsts for blood! I will avenge myself by killing the murderous Proggs!" Erik roars. "Oh, and thanks for the heal and loot, Sir." Of course I would like to head inside!

"Oh, Sir, could you give us a battle order?"

"Mizuki has a poisoned weapon, so I think she should target the big one. I will go for Larval Progg B, from the front."

"Yeah, I don't really see any other options. I think we should go through that door."

Erik quickly closes the door, and turns to the spiders. "What about the other doors? Do you know what's through them? We were hired to kill those beasts, so eventually we will be going through and killing them, but it wouldn't hurt to get free loot first."

So there are only doors at the end of the green paths? Erik examines the far right door for a lock, and to see if the white thing is another one of those drawing puzzles. He also puts his ear to the door, to try and hear anything that sounds like a Progg.

Erik mumbles something about paint, and also mutters a strange word that sounds like micro-soft.

Erik looks at the rock pad, and says "I think we should try this later when we have more information." He looks around, trying to see if the arches in the walls are doors, and if they are, which ones are open. He then walks to the table and, looking suspiciously at the dragon, tries to open the box on it.

Erik goes and looks in the chest, carefully avoiding the two spiders while he does so.

Erik is somewhat taken aback by Mr Pretzel, but having seen his fanaticism against Sorrow, he decides always suck up to the party leader lots of compliments is probably the way to go. "Ah, you are too kind, Sir. I only wish now that I had saved some money, as I am sure you could get me some good deals on things. If only I had known I would have such a money-wise leader on this quest."

"Thanks, Mizuki!" "I think she has already taken the money for the reward from the well." "I'm sorry, I must not have heard - my name is Erik, and I'm 18. What about you? As to the money, I spent it all preparing for this quest. Why do you want to know how much money I have?"

"Yes, that answers all of my questions also."

I hope your first battle isn't going to come down to the 1 extra damage per round from the venom!

"Ah, of course. Silly me, I forgot it said that the vault was a secret on your note. The beasts in the vault aren't spiders, are they? I don't want to get them confused with your fathers pet spiders. Do you want the spiders brought out, or just left where they are? And there isn't anything else fragile in the vault, is there? In case we need to remove the spiders and then flood the vault, or something?" "Ooh, Cookies. Yes please!"

This probably is not going to be game-changing, regardless of the answer, but at the end of quest 32, Mizuki's dagger was envenomed. It's been upgraded since then, but hasn't been used in a fight. Is the venom still on it?

"Nice to meet you, Mrs Commerz. We just have to go in and kill everything that moves, right? Sounds like a nice change from my last quest. But why do you need us? Yours sounds like a rather wealthy family, I'd have thought you'd need to employ some guards - why couldn't they do the job?" OOC: Stats are good. I believe the arm-mounted shield, and the Viking helmet, simply give +1 to health each. Which also explains the +1 +1(base health=13, +1+1=15).

Erik looks on in concern at the baby and the sick sage, as he doesn't really know much about childcare, and is no expert in medicine. As he backs toward the window, he is glad to be distracted by discovering that he has been accepted for a quest, and also that he will have a cleric to patch him up if necessary.

But you can only cast spells using one element at a time, so I'd have thought you can only summon creatures of one element at a time?
