Ding ding ding! I've also got an announcement or few coming up.

Very good, Pyro! Ten points to you! Now, do you know what it means in relation to this game?

A Random Question for the Day : Does anyone know what day tomorrow is?

QM Note: My apologies, you actually had 505 gold before the two gambling games, during which you lost a total of 50 gold, so you now have 455 gold. I just copied your stats from a wrong page, that's all. Getting fed up with Lucky Clams, Throlar had a chance to check the two other game stalls. Or would he rather just go to rest now?

I remember that discussion taking place years, not months, ago. But my memory is selective, as we have come to see.

It has been that way for years now. How have you missed it? The logic behind it is that the enemy is stunned until it gets a chance to act. Then, instead of acting, it recovers from stunned. There-in lies the problem. All these "unintended" prepercussions are exactly what cause confusion. Healing Staff was meant to be a simple "heal instead of damage", but it opened a whole can of worms. Dual Strike weapons are causing the same issue - there's constantly new contradictions and unclarity rising from their use. That's why I aim to keep things as simple as possible. Taking every single different scenario into consideration when creating a new mechanic is just impossible, that's why we need these rule clarifications all the time.

Perhaps that's the simplest solution...

I see your point. Satisfy and Pessimism should be susceptible to Dual Strike, since the hero has two targets. Dragon Aid isn't, because it's not the hero who attacks but the dragon pet. Remember that single-target Shield-skills are also affected by Dual Strike. It's the same deal. I guess I have to add this to the FAQ to make it clear. Thinking about it more, it's not clear that the hero is using their weapon with these aforementioned skills. Now I'm confused. Any skills that use ether are considered magic, that should be clear, anyway.

OoC: Sorry to butt in on the discussion, but Thalion's weapon is a "Dual Cast/Heal" weapon, not "Dual Strike". So it allows casting spells and healing on two targets. Sleight of Hand is considered a magical attack because it uses ether. In Quest#93, I played it so that Thalion could confuse both targets with the same weapon. OoC: Pretend I was never here.

QM Note: Why couldn't you just say "second from the left", then? I haven't heard anyone use that phrase before, so I couldn't have known. I can't change it now, sorry. You just have to use clearer words from now on.

Reading the rules, I thought it meant that rolling 4 twice or 5 twice would end the game. I give up...

"A red one and a second white one! You could end the game with three prizes now, if you wish. You still have four openings left, if you want to keep on."

Quickdraw quiver is only suitable for rangers. Zakura seems to have slipped it out of the item's description. Mizuki can thus use the item only as long as she's an assassin. Sorry that you don't like to see another Lucky Die in the game, but what's done is done. You didn't understand the rules. Only 6's could win you a round, so the winning combinations would be 6666, 66646, 66656 and 666456 (and their variants).

QM Note: Totally forgot to write down the current weather condition. My apologies! Walbartan looked ill at ease. "Please, we have to stop this and just leave.

The enemy type rule page has been updated a bit. I didn't realize how confusing and cluttered it must have been until now.

"That is the second yellow, meaning you have a match! Also, you found a white pearl that can be paired up with any solitary color you find. Six openings left."

It was approved on the condition that it would be nigh impossible to get the item. Quit your whining, Flipz, you're not even on the quest yourself!

Enemy is still an enemy. Even if you "benevolently" try to heal one, they will still want to see your guts spilled on the ground. Very well, I will add it to the FAQ that healing an enemy makes heroes susceptiple to DAMAGE and SPECIAL DAMAGE.

Althior decided that the party would journey to Port Taboo straight through the forest without stopping. The woods were thick and hard to pass, but the party had their magic compass to keep them in the right direction. Eventually they came to a formation that looked like two trees conjoined from the middle. Looking up along the trunk, the heroes saw two large owl-like eyes staring down at them. "BURRRR.... WHOOOO DISTUUURRRSS THEEE PEEEAAACEE OOOOFF OOOZZMAAATH?" "A treant! They are guardians of the forest! We must not make it angry!" "RUBBISH! My axe will CUT it down in NO time!" "OOOZZMAAATHH DEFEEENDSS IIITSSEEELFF! BUUUURRRR!!!" The treant rumbled, and the forest around them came alive as creatures of wood and a flock of owls rose to defend their home. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

The world explodes. Nothing, of course. Isn't that kinda obvious? Necromancer's Shield-skill has nothing to do with gems, though.

"That's a yellow and a blue, again! You have eight openings left."

It would be an exception to standard rules either way. We just have to finally decide in which way we should confuse people.

Taking a stroll through the Marketplace, Ellaria stops by at Fabian's to sell her Tricorne for 60 gold (78+60=138 gold). Then she goes to Portia and buys a combo of Mead, Smelling Salts and Nostrum for 75 gold (138-75=63 gold).

Maybe it should be ruled that while the healer cannot get damaged when healing an undead, the healing does not negate the enemy's Free Hit. I know I've been going back and forth with this issue over the years, but would that sound fair to you guys?
