"Ah, good work guys! I knew my luck hadn't deserted me completely." Erik grabs an amulet on a chain around his neck and kisses it. "I will attack Snowy from the front row again. I don't think me or Nagure have gone into a frenzy at all this battle. It could be something to do with not fighting living enemies, but we have two in 6 chances of one of us getting worked into a frenzy this round, so we could consider hoping that the remaining flamepots from getting free hits, and we could all attack Snowy. However, that would be a risk, so I will leave it to you guys to decide. Either way, I think Drake should finish the other flamepot, as he does the least damage." Though maybe the fact we haven't rolled frenzies means we are more likely to get one this round - http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0099.html

"Ah thanks Mizuki!" "Don't worry about it, Drake."

"Huh. Drake, could you change that to Flamepot C? Unless Sorrow is fine with taking a free hit."

"You lost me at 'I'm in Sorrow's body and I a fraction of Sorrow', so you could explain it more, but I wouldn't understand anyway." "SSH! Don't let the dice know I'm targeting Snowy, not myself! I only do damage when they think I'm stabbing myself!"

"Wait what? Aren't you Sorrow? Are you still here for the same reason as Sorrow? Will you be wanting hot chocolate also?" "Well, I will swing my spear at myself Snowy from the front row. Nagure, since you're in the back row, maybe you should try and finish off one of the flamepots, maybe Flamepot E?"

"Hey Drake, Maybe you should also target Flamepot E from the front row next to Nagure!" "Don't know where we could get chocolate, Mizuki. When we get back to the hall, at least, though."

"AARGH! Always going backwards, and getting hit! I will target Myself from the back row this round Target Flamepot C from the back row!" Glad you're better

"Sorrow, perhaps you could try and mug Flamepot D again?"

"Ah, Drake, Perhaps you should change your attack to a Flamepot, so we don't risk Snowy's special making more of them. Sorrow, as I'm too far away to do much damage to an enemy this round, I should take the free hit, while I attack Flamepot C with my spear from the back row." Hope your feeling better Rumblestrike.

Could be an oil fire - that would float on top of the melted snow, and do that sort-of explodey thing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_pan(bottom of the article)). Also, does Syntax talk aloud, or is he just a voice in Sorrow's head?

*Ahem* "Nagure, he was saying you smell bad FRIED. Not that I think Human smells any better, but I wouldn't have thought you like the smell of yourself burning." I like the guardians, too, but it took me until this one to realise where you got the eyes from .

"Oh No! I liked this cloak! It was warm. I suppose now it's warmer, but Nyah!" Erik attempts to simultaneously extinguish his cloak's fire and an enemy, by droping to the ground and rolling on Flamepot C. (Spear, Front row). Reminds me of Tintin's dog.

Erik leaps off the rock and onto the slightly strangely named Snowy and from this vantage point stabs at Flamepot C. (Front row). He yells to the party "We are going to take a free hit this round, because there is 1 more of them than there is of us. I think that we should take out the Flamepots first, and not target Snowy, so we don't risk him making more Flamepots and being swamped by free hits. As Drake has a shield, I think he should go first and take Snowy's free hit, but maybe he should do this from the back row, as this may be a long fight." He can then be heard to mutter "Really? His name's Snowy? He breathes FIRE, and his name's Snowy?" (4/2=2, -2=0.+ 5/2=3, -2=1. 0 damage from Flamepot, + 1 damage from Snowy.) - From the back, Drake shouldn't take more than 1 damage. I think this is right. If me standing on one enemy and attacking another is confusing, Erik is attacking Flamepot C from the front row with his spear.

Erik says softly "What's that creaking noise? Lucky we're on top of the mountain - don't want to get caught in an avalanche. Still, I think I will climb onto that rock and see if I can look around for the children in the distance, or a giant snowman or something that is likely to be the guardian. Drake, if your worried about the cold, you do have a torch strapped to your back, and while it probably won't burn bright enough to illuminate dark places, I'm sure it will keep you warm."

*Ahem* Erik turns to Mizuki. "I think we decided we wouldn't bring the torch. Especially since we seem to have time between entering a realm and being attacked, and we could possibly retreat and grab the torch in that time. Also, if anyone were to carry the torch, I think it should be Drake, not you, as your Mug does a fair amount of damage with a good weapon, but less with a measly WP1 torch, while Drake's Sentinel does not depend on the strength of his weapon."

No-one is holding the torch. I hope I don't regret this...

"Well guys, since you have all said something since coming out of the Bee room, and 2/5 people have voted to go through the second door on the left, with no-one voting against it, does this mean that no-one disagrees and we will go through the second door on the left? I don't think there is anything to be done in this room." "Oh, yes sorry, that should be 3/5 people."

"Hey guys, if I remember what the building looked like from the outside correctly, and if you assume that the rooms we have been in are separate to the rooms in the wider section of the building with the tower on top of it, on the first level there was 1 window sort of thing, matching the one door to the left in the room we started in and on the second level there were two windows, matching the two doors on the left of this room. That would mean that the second door on the left has a strange golden protrusion or balcony of some sort, which may mean that it is a warping door. I still think we should try it though, as the warping door seemed to have no consequence. Also if I am correct about the windows matching the doors, there are still 2 more rooms we haven't explored aside from the one up these stairs." OOC: Rumble, if we find all the children, can we keep exploring the building?

"Well, now I'm uninjured, I agree with Nagure. I think second doorway to the left."

"I wonder what's in the next room? An ocean with a giant squid? Or something else? I don't mind which door we try next. Thanks for the potion and gold, Sorrow! I will use my natural respite trait to rest." Erik's current health went up 4 after the battle. I think it should be 6/11. But it doesn't matter if he can still rest here. And yes, I meant before Mizuki, not before everyone. And can I grab the torch, but not have it equipped?

"If you don't mind, Mizuki, I will also target Creeper D (Front Row, Spear), as Sorrow has said he is willing to take the free hit from Creeper E since his poison will be killing it this round. I would also rather play it safe by not attacking Buzzy, as she could knock me out if I'm unlucky. This way, as I am first on the battle order, your attack will only be on Creeper D if my attack misses, otherwise you will hit Buzzy or another creeper, both of which you can survive easily. However, if Sorrow is unlucky enough to take damage from Buzzy, he will be knocked out by Creeper E's free hit on him." "Oh, and Hlin, I assume you are attacking Buzzy again?" OOC: Finally got around to updating picture for Erik.

I'll go for Buzzy then, from the front row, with my spear

"Oh, Sorrow, maybe I should be before you in the battle order, with Nagure after me in case either of us get a Frenzy, because then we will kill Creeper A and B and you can target a different one. However, with Drake protecting us from damage this round, we should win either way."

"Yes sorry I'll attack Creeper C" "Front Row, spear."

Erik stabs at Creeper D again from the front row with his spear.(the same thing I did last time) "Good work everyone!"
