I'll be doing that once I get back to updating the Wiki. Most of the artifact pages still lack pictures altogether... I don't know if people know it, but I've also been making articles for enemies encountered in my previous quests and the Fields of Glory. The job is far from finished, but you can freely use the articles as inspiration for your own enemies. No, they have never been able to do that.

"Now that we know more about this case, I would like to return to the Sluice to interrogate the citizens again. Who will come with me?"

Ellaria looked at the magic-sapping substance closer. "So, if my hunch is correct, these wolves were put here to prevent anyone from getting too close to this matter. Maybe poor Maggie found out about it, and a wolf was sent to get rid of her? That's just a theory, of course, but something we should keep in mind as we investigate further."

QM Note: Fixed everything. And whoever came up with those Claws can get the hell out of my game. QM Note: Maybe coming into a Pandemonicon quest as a Necromancer wasn't the best idea.

Ellaria gives each of her allies one Mead, hands the Sharpened Fang Dagger to Hunkan and keeps the Ancient Bone herself. She then listened to Kid's explanation about the wolves. "Hmm, so who would have the power to command an entire pack of wolves? We should ask around town once we are done investigating this place."

"Don't worry, I'll get Hunkan up in a swift. Then we can finish off the last of these lupines." Ellaria uses a Phoenix Essence on Hunkan before repeating her attack against the Grendel. The battle order stays the same.

OoC: You forgot to reduce the bomb from my inventory. Ellaria repeats her attack on the Grendel. The battle order remains the same.

OoC: You seem to have forgotten that Ellaria can use an item along with attacking thanks to her job trait "Instant Items". "I can take care of the wounded ones with this bomb, everyone should focus on the big guys." Ellaria throws the Hot'n'Cold Bomb at the enemies and then targets Grendel with an attack from the front row. Battle order: Ellaria (instant item) Ellaria Petaldan Hunkan Ezeran Goliath Kid

QM Note: I'm back now full-time, so I'll be taking over the battle from Flipz. A round of applause to him for taking such good care of the battle! :applause: Byblos was sweating as he tried to lull the baby while casting a spell from the scroll. "Hush, little baby don't you cry, or else this spell will go awry..."

Advanced, Veteran and Master classes can always use any equipment that are suitable to their respective base classes. I believe the word "only" there is just for flavor.

OoC: My apologies, I meant to give the party leader reins to MysticModulus, but I totally forgot during the rush! Sowwy! I am back now and can take the duty back.

QM Note: Flipz has agreed to run the battle during my absence. I'll leave you in his capable hands. There still hasn't been a solution to the image problem. It would suck to have to leave Photobucket after all these years, since all the other picture links in this game would become broken...

Ellaria turned to the sole mage in the party. "Ezeran, perhaps a fire spell might light our way?"

Ellaria shrugged. "Well, I would rather have all the possible manpower we can get if we run into trouble there, but I guess you will do as you see fit, Kid." When they arrived to the dig site, Ellaria suddenly remembered her last visit there. "Oh, this is the spot where we descended to the ruins of Mercution below. Nothing good waited for us down there, so please be prepared for anything - visions, hallucinations, demons even. Let us venture in."

HELP WANTED! I need someone with time and patience to run the battle in Quest#148 for me for the remainder of this week. It is a beast of a battle, but it ought to be fun!

QM Note: Sorry for the constant delays. Photobucket keeps messing up my images still, I'm trying to consult with their help center to solve the issue. Also, I will be leaving to a summer cabin to celebrate the Midsummer Fest this Thursday and will be gone for the weekend with no internet connection or electricity, but I will try to get someone to roll the battle results in the meanwhile. Starting next week, I have two weeks of vacation so there will be plenty of time for me to dedicate to this quest and this game - finally! The party decided to check the source of the baby's crying, and as they neared the room where it came from, they started hearing whispers and sighs. Creaking the door open, they caught a group of demons gathered in the darkened room, staring lustfully down at a wailing infant lying on the floor amidst them. The demons were so concentrated on the child they did not even take notice of the heroes at first. "Such sweet suffering!" "There is nothing more precious than the slow death of an innocent child..." "I can feel the power surging back to me!" "Ah, the agony... This is the perfect starter for tonight's feast!" "This is just too much! Leave the baby be and pick on someone your own size!" The demons turned their heads towards the party and lunged to attack. One of them snatched the infant from the floor and dangled it from it's limbs. The heroes were heavily outnumbered, but the demons did not look particularly tough. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Ellaria couldn't help but to smile when the two younger imps barged in. "They look just the way my friend Hybros used to look when I first met him. It took him a while to get his wings and horns, too, but when he did, it happened almost overnight." "We will head to the dig site next, all of us. We have to find out what is going on there, and if it proves to be too much for me to handle, I have a few Smoke Bombs ready."

QM Note: I'll post next time on Sunday, as it's my birthday tomorrow and I have a couple days of festivities ahead of me. Be prepared for the quest to kick off big time! There was nothing Hybros could use in the bag. Monk Pretzel's artisan skills made quick work of the lock. It dropped to the floor with a clank and the door creaked open. There was nobody on the hallway, but the party could hear a baby crying somewhere in the castle. "Another trick, perhaps?"

"We went to see the Baron of Zylstra, and also met a mysterious woman from the Crimson Crown organization there, calling herself the Cardinal. She seemed to be very much against magic and had obviously inflicted the Baron with similar thoughts. I am sorry to say that the head of this city seems to be expecting for you imps to be guilty of this murder. In any case, we then went to the Sluice tavern and chatted with some of the patrons. They seemed to be worried about the recent events in this city as well, but also pointed us towards some strange noises coming from the mining tunnels, just like Queen Nahzka did. I reckon we should head there next, but I wanted us to gather our forces before that." When introduced to the High Scholar, Ellaria nodded. "Well met, Master Tyrfrix. Please, do share your knowledge with us. The Queen told us about the origins of the imps, but perhaps there is something more to it?"

Upon trying the door, Hybros realized that they had been locked in. "So much for hospitality", Byblos muttered. "We seem to be officially prisoners now."

Ellaria thanks her drinking companions. She then looks at Petaldan and Goliath. "Looks like the tunnels are where we should investigate next, but I don't want to venture there without our comrades. If we are done here, let us return to the imps and wait for the others there."

Monk Pretzel saw that they were high enough that jumping down from the window would be fatal. There was nothing else to be seen except the surrounding hills basking in the eerie light soothing from the rift. There was a leather bag full of everyday clothes and utensils in the wardrobe, as well as a dead moth. There was only a chamber pot beneath the pet - an unemptied one. The dressing table had an unsent letter on it.

Ellaria raised her cup to the others on the table. "I am Ellaria Arbour, an alchemist at your service. Did we perhaps meet at the Three Dwarven Cities, Thimlin? I was on a mission there to overcome a conspiracy about a year ago. Things took a surprising turn there, as the High Chief was found out to be stealing mythril for his own devilish causes, but eventually we managed to work everything out. Let us hope that such a conspiracy has not struck Zylstra. That Crimson Crown woman that the Baron was consulting did not seem like a very nice person, after all... Would you happen to know anything more about her or the murder of Maggie?"
