I have a background story, some motivations and general character outline for Eric, but I just let the game kind of shape his future and person. I never planned him to be anti-Bonaparte and pro-Wolfgang, that just happened because of game storylines.

Eric shrugged and rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Dwarf. You know nothing, Throlar." When the Nord would be made jarl under king Ulric, he'd make sure the Dwarf was going to be the first to taste his justice. Eric was sure of what he saw. He was certain it was an omen and a vision of things to come. The cup had to be destroyed and a glorious future would await him. Why else would the gods come to him in his dream? The Raider raised an eyebrow an smirked. He held the cup in front of Rollinger's face. "It's a cup. Seriously? Think I can't handle a cup?", he viciously snorted. No way he'd let the Ennoc-worshipper lay his hands upon the item again. From now on, this was Eric's task. Not waiting for Heckz to give the signal to leave, Eric motioned "let's go".

Again, thanks for the head's up. I adjusted the poison damage for the last round, but I didn't check the other rounds. I don't think it'd matter much now, since the fight is practically over. Any suggestions for Lynne?

Shouldn't I be at full health? Raider have Natural Respite and heal after battle. Also, Eric had a "good" night's rest . Eric grinned widely and chuckled as Rollinger berated Heckz for throwing the mask out. He found the antics of the bumbling mage genuinely funny. "I believe I had a small vision of the future. I sat upon a throne which was crowned by a golden, snarling wolf's head. I was like a king and all served my every whim. It's my destiny that I have seen. That is until it all started to rot and come down. Then I woke up and saw the cup was it the core of spoiling my dream." The Nord smiled softly as he reminisced about his dream. Eric was now fully awake and it became clear to him. The cup wasn't his means to power. "The cup is in the way of my future. It should be destroyed."

They're poisoned by 1. I'll add the number in the next round. Speaking of which, I'll just run it with Lynne healing Polly. If you'd like it otherwise, please let me know . I'm wondering, though, do I need to list Polly in the battle order "doing nothing" or does she perform an action? I'm asking, because there's nothing bolded. I'm guessing she does nothing, but I just want to be sure.

QM Note: Tomorrow there most likely won't be an update, because I have to work all day 'till pretty late in the evening and probably won't have time to check EB. Sunday's will be back as usual . You're nearing the end.

I was going to say that Polly's modifier was negated by the fact she attacked from the back row, but as I was typing I remembered magic does full damage from the back row . So, you're right. I'll fix it . Right again in this case, I did forget to check for SP and Row. Like the first case, I'll fix it. They don't ignore SP and Row, I would've added otherwise, as is the convention like you said. .

QM Note: Ah okay, even though you say you mentioned it a dozen times, I still missed it . Sorry, didn't know you were moving. Anyway, it's not that big an issue . I totally understand .

Results of Round Three of Brawl with Steppe Cyclopses Orel Cayne vs. Rhozz Da Boss - Miss (Nothing happens.) >Polly vs. Rhozz Da Boss - Hit ((WP3 + lvl 3 = 6 Dmg) Leofwein vs. Cyclops Brute - Special Damage (4 Dmg to all, Cyclops Brute KO) Lynne vs. Cyclops Spearman - Damage (Lynne takes 6 Dmg) The Brute goes down, but at a heavy cost for the heroes. The heavily-bleeding Cyclops swings around his mighty cleaver one last time, one last act of defiance, hurting all those participating in the battle. Careless, he is even responsible for his own death. Only Polly manages to hit her target, but the heavily armored chieftain simply shrugs after being hit by her bolt of Dark energy. Lynne gets stepped by the Spearman, which brings her on the verge of being knocked out. The battle continues and two enemies are still facing a badly hurt party.

Could you give it a background color? A shade somewhat darker than the general background color of the Wikia. It'd make the infobox stand out more and differentiate from the other text on the page .

QM Note: I'll just run the round with Lynne repeating her actions, seeing as there's no real danger of her getting knocked out. Plus, I really want to end this in November, preferably .

Rhozz Da Boss - Free Hit against Orel Cayne (Orel Cayne: 12HP + 2SP - 8 Dmg = 6HP) Orel manages to break the prisoner's shackles and quickly pulls over the weakened man to the side of the party. There, Polly pours a potion down his throat to get him back on his feet. Leofwein continues his Frenzy and hack away at the opponents, leaving the Brute badly bloodied and an inch away from death. The other Cyclopses are still standing strong.

Okay, I'll check . Sandy, I like the premises of those 2 new quests. Can't wait to see the floating city! EDIT: You're right, Flare, I forgot to deduct Poison Damaga for all opponents, not just Rhozz Da Boss. I really suck at maths .

QM Note: Gah, you're right. I deducted all the damage first and then restored the heroes' health because of Lynne's Miracle, but of course, Free Hits come after the Actions. I'll fix it.

Leofwein vs. Cyclops Brute - Frenzy (WP3 + lvl 3 = 6 Dmg to all opponents + all opponents Poisoned) >Polly & Mr. Sanders vs. Cyclops Brute - Special Damage (4 Dmg to all) Lynne vs. Cyclops Spearman - Miracle (WP3 x 2 + lvl 3 = 9 Health restored to all Allies) Rhozz Da Boss - Free Hit against Orel Cayne (Orel Cayne: 14HP + 2SP - 8 Dmg = 8HP) It is as if though the party starts this battle truly blessed by higher powers. Leofwein goes into a frenzy and manages to both damage and poison all of the opponents. The Cyclops Brute retaliates and also swings around his huge blade. However, he does so in an uncontrolled manner and also cuts his own allies. The effects of the Brute's attack are then negated by Lynne pulling off a miracle, healing the party.

Arthur's a Zoot's Plaything? The character's actually been through so much, I didn't even really know what he is anymore. I thought he was a planeswalker that came from an important family in a distant Chaos kingdom (or other dimension/plane?).

The party left the remnants of the settlement behin and trekked north. The sharp icy wind had laid down, greatly easing the travel, the party suffers no penalties. After some time of walking, the party spotted life on the horizon. As they got closer, they could make out that there was but one Human amongst the other group. Worse, he was bound and shackled in chains, dragged behind a horse. The party had stumbled upon a marauding band of Cyclopses, who had taken a straggling Polkung man from the camp as their prisoner. Slowly, the party tried to sneak up to the strangers, but the wind was not in their favor and their scent got picked up by the chief Cyclops' horse. Wary of their hostile environs, the gang of Cyclopses were quick to assume battle positions and the Heroes lost the element of surprise. PREPARE FOR BATTLE !

Okay, thanks for the advice . Those LEDs you linked to are kind of expense, Zeph . I'll see if I can find something similar here, but cheaper . I correct the lighting in Photoshop, too, but the result can be sloppy if the basic pictures aren't very good to begin with. Lighting is my biggest issue, so hopefully I can solve it . Thanks again!

Just a general question regarding photography, but what lights do you use for your scenes? BrickDoctor, Pyro, Sandy and WBD (to name just afew): your photography is always excellent, so I was wondering how you pull it off? I have lots of difficulty decently lighting my scenes .

"I'm not sure I quite get your question, m'lady", the Paladin shrugged and looked confused, "The mountains are in the east and I guess they slowly rise up from the steppes." "Polly makes a good point here, you guys", Orell stated as he hung in the back, following the party's footsteps as they made way north. "If I had to guess, I'd say he's probably where the camp is. We'll see what we find at the end of these tracks, though." QM Note: I'll roll for effects and give you the full update tomorrow. I hate it when I get home and it's too dark already to make photos. I definitely need new lights for my photo setup.

The party sets out, trekking across the vast sea of grass that are the northern steppes. Their voyage started off on a positive note as nothing strange occurred to the party. The second part of the journey was harder as the foursome of heroes made their way deeper into the grasslands. Icy winds battered the party, slightly denting their morale. Their hope sunk somewhat deeper when they reached the speculative campsite and only remnants of habitation remained. The camp had been packed up and moved to another location, only litter being left behind. Picture coming this weekend! After quickly investigating the grounds, the party could discern tracks leaving the location. Most of the tracks were headed east. The eastern tracks consisted mainly out of hooves and grass that had been crushed by the wheels of wagons. This was most likely the direction the camp had taken off in. The other tracks were heading in a northern direction. There were some tracks of hooves sunk in the mood, but their were also a lot of regular Human foottracks. What will the party do? Where do they head next?

"Yeah, yeah, whatever", the Nord told the Paladin. Not wanting to stay behind with Throlar, Eric made his way to the bed, too, but not before he informed Saskia that :"She doesn't know what she's missing." Eric went to his room, even though he wasn't really that tired, which was odd because the company sure was tiring.

QM Note: Yes, it takes two turns to get to the location. The only things that matter are the green 2x2 tiles with the stud in the middle. The rest is solely decoration, so the snow will not hinder you in any way . However, each time you move one square, I will roll to see what fate awaits the party. So, if you move 2 squares (like you're planning in this case), I will roll twice. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear .

QM Note: Full update! In search of the missing priest, servant of the deity Ennoc, you will traverse a part of the windswept steppes of the Northern March of Dastan. These lands are the wards of the Polkung, horsemen who protect the realm from attacks. The old man in Farrech gave you the directions to a known Polkung encampment. It is believed the priest resides with the Bloody Blades tribe. The location of their encampment is marked on the map. To reach their goal, the party must specify which direction they choose to head: north, east, south or west. When traveling from one (2x2) square to another, the party will have a 1/3 chance of encountering prowling inhabitants of the steppes, 1/3 chance of suffering 1 damage from the icy northern winds or 1/3 chance their travels go well and nothing happens. The party's starting location is the bottom left square. What direction will the party head first? "So this it, then. I've never been this far up north, I think." The Paladin looked around and up and down. He closed his eyes briefly and smiled. The only noises heard were those of birds and the whistling of the wind through the grasses. "It's so...silent here. Peaceful. Hard to believe this place has seen so much bloodshed. May Ennoc watch over us."

Love the texturing on the walls! I second Vladivus' thoughts on the big door, though. The big smooth surface kind of looks out of place next to the textured walls. Also, those swords are kind of big to be hinges. Still, awesome build overall .
