QM Note: Sorry, no update today, because I have a workplace party to go to, but I'll update first thing tomorrow. My apologies, that's one of the bazillion details that are still up for interpretation. Thinking back, I probably should have let you act on the previous turn...

QM Note: Ahem, don't you read the flavor texts? When you're slowed, you cannot do anything on every other round. You're just too slooooowww... And Duvors, I've added this mysterious Potion to your inventory, but please keep a better tally of your items in the future. At the beginning of each quest, everyone are supposed to check if the QM got their stats right. Results of Round Four of the Fateful Four Battle: >Eric is slowed Althior is slowed Walbartan is slowed Nur is slowed Sarge uses Grand Potion on Eric - (Eric: +25 health) >Avalanche is slowed Throlar vs. Sir Tinkerman - Damage (Throlar: 20 health+6 SP-30 dmg=0 health) Loewe - Free Hit vs. Eric (Eric: 36 health+5 SP-(32/2=16 dmg)=25 health) Loewe - Poisoned by 2 (-2 dmg) The heroes affected by Sir Tinkerman's ability move too slowly to react this round. Sarge takes the opportunity to heal Eric with a potion, while Throlar goes head first against the enemies and gets knocked out again.

That's totally besides the point, but okay.

Walbartan nods to Nur. "Ally? Too early to say that. I just can't miss a good bout when I see one."

QM Note: Instead of being an megablocks about it, why not just do like the rest of us do and avoid the confusion?

QM Note: I seem to have omitted it from the rules and FAQ for some odd reason, but here's an explanation how the Battle Songs work: So Aunt Hymnessamine should not be included in the battle order if she sings a Battle Song.

Don't lick until it drops. With Aunt Hymnessamine, I'm determing if I should make the Battle Songs' ether cost work the same way that the Arch Spells/Healing does: the more targets, the higher the cost.

QM Note: The definition of "magic" in the context of battles is any attack or ability that is either elemental or consumes ether. The only Battle Song capable of damaging the enemies, "Angelic Aria", fits into both definitions, so yes. Remember that only the enemies are immune to magic, not the heroes.

Glad you're excited about it, I am too! It just came to me one day when I was thinking of a suitable new "gambling game" for the quest, and I fell in love with it so much I decided to make an entire sidequest encompassing the entire quest out of it. However, with such a bloodthirsty group we have in Quest#100, we'll have to see if there's anyone left alive in all of Babeleth to spread the game forward once the quest is done.

Round Two of the Music Classroom Battle: >Karie vs. Bagpipes - Shield/Shield (Mass Hallucination - no effect) >Amorith (Lightning) vs. Drum - Meditate/Damage (Amorith: 17 health+9 SP-(18/2=9 dmg)=17 health) >Drucilla vs. Flute - Meditate/Critical Hit (Drucilla: +1 ether) >Syrio vs. Guitar and Piano - Dual Special Damage/Dual Hit (Chaotic Concerto (twice) - Amorith: 17 health+9 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=10 health; Erik: 41 health+4 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=29 health; Karie: 39 health+2 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=25 health; Sorrow: 39 health+7 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=30 health; Noel: 10 health+1 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=0 health; Nuitan: 21 health+1 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=6 health; Sorsha: 20 health+3 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=7 health; Drucilla: 30 health+3 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=17 health; Syrio: 69 health+3 SP-(8+8=16 dmg)=53 health) >Sorsha (Chair) vs. Maracas - Damage/Damage (Sorsha: 7 health+3 SP-(8/2=4 dmg)=6 health) >Erik (unarmed) vs. Trumpet - Meditate/Shield (Erik: +1 ether) >Sorrow (Sharkjaw Scythe) vs. Saxophone - Lethal Aim/Shield (Saxophone: sudden death) >Nuitan uses a Potion on Sorsha - (Sorsha: +10 health) Bagpipes - Free Hit vs. Karie (Karie: 25 health+2 SP-(16/2=8 dmg)=19 health) Drum - Free Hit vs. Amorith (Amorith: 10 health+9 SP-(18/2=9 dmg)=10 health) Flute - Free Hit vs. Drucilla (Drucilla: 17 health+3 SP-(12/2=6 dmg)=14 health) Guitar - Free Hit vs. Syrio (Syrio: 53 health+3 SP-(10/2=5 dmg)=51 health) Piano - Free Hit vs. Sorsha (Sorsha: 16 health+3 SP-(20/2=10 dmg)=9 health) Maracas - Free Hit vs. Erik (Erik: 29 health+4 SP-(8/2=4 dmg)=29 health) Trumpet - Free Hit vs. Sorrow (Sorrow: 30 health+7 SP-(12/2=6 dmg)=30 health) The party braces for another round of attacks, but they get blasted with the terrible noise again, and this time Noel is knocked out. Just as everything seems lost, Sorrow manages to assassinate the part of the demon that plays the saxophone, and release the captives of the deadly dance. The students and Madame Feldspar look around, dazed and confused, but Aunt Hymnessamine grabs the saxophone that the demon dropped and joins the battle.

QM Note: The battle order and actions, please?

OoC: Good call! I edited my last post accordingly. Before rushing ahead, Ellaria also uses the Scroll of Inspiration on herself and Russus for as many times as she requires to inspire both of them.

QM Note: Yes, Althior will join the battle after the next round. Walbartan raises her eyebrow at the spiritual butler. "On the contrary. If we cannot trust our companions to look after us, then we might just as well give up." The druid runs after Althior. "Hey, sir! Mind if I lend you a hand as well?"

Ellaria hears a soft clearing of throat behind her, and is startled to see Russus standing there. "Sorry, Russus! I meant three against five, of course. Hehe..." Again, the blush creeps to her cheeks.

Ellaria holds Atramor back and whispers: "Two against five, don't you think that's a bit too much? But we can't back down now, so best get prepared" In preparation, Ellaria consumes a Smelling Salts and Soma, and applies a Deadly Venom to Ignis Fatuus. She then waits for Atramor to prepare before charging into the room.

QM Note: Since Eric initiated the battle, he can be the acting party leader, unless Althior jumps in.

The man's eyes light up as he sees Throlar's cards. "Mister Dwarf, ye've come to ta right place! I call meself sumthing of an expert when it comes to Decamon in this village. It doesn't please the missus, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, eh?" The man then goes on into an intricately detailed explanation of the rules of the game. "...And that's 'bout it! The kids play the game fer fun, but we adults like to spice it up wiv bets of gold. I've heard that in Vega, you can even exchange the cards for prizes! Too bad the missus won't let me anywhere near ta city. That's where this game came from in the first place, if ye didn't know. Too bad you only have three cards, I could've fetched me cards from home and take a match." "I'm afraid that's what it is. This whole village seems to be enthralled by a silly game of cards. Personally, I don't see the appeal. As for me, I am a druid, on my way to Ozmath Marchlands in search for rare herbs. Walbartan is my name." The pongcanis druid extends her hairy hand for Eric. "That does it! We'll take you on and see who's shitty and who's not! Fateful Four, to arms!" The four mercenaries draw their weapons, forcing Avalanche, Sarge and Eric to do the same.

QM Note: I'm not going to tell you, because you're supposed to find these things out through trial and error, and exploration. Otherwise, what would be the point?

"Umm, are you picking a fight? My name may be Loewe the Coward, but I'm not afraid to give arrogant old men a beating." "*clank* *cling* This. Is. Not.. Why... We... Arrrr....... Herrrrr..... *buzzzzz* *clunk*" The metallic knight stops moving mid-speech. "Skinny Joe! Sir Tinkerman needs winding." "Snickerdoodle! Why does it always have to be me?!" "Because I say so!" "Dagnabbit..." The living scarecrow starts to wind the key at the knight's back. "Yeah. They call us the Fateful Four. Got a problem with that?" Before Althior can make it to the landing where the Dockmaster is apparently sitting, a Pongcanis steps in his way. "Don't bother, sir", the pongcanis says, in a surprisingly feminine voice. "The Dockmaster said he was busy sorting out his cards, whatever that means. He told me to wait until he was done, so I don't think you would have better luck with him, either. I take it you need him to open the entrance to the surface as well? I saw you and your friends arrive just now. I've been stuck here for half an hour already." The pongcanis gives an irritated glance up at the Dockmaster, but the officer is still focusing on his cards.

The young woman's eyes widen and she shirks away from Sarge. She then tries to gather the remains of her dignity. "Excuse me! Dorothea Cansassy is nobody's servant!" "Err, can't we just throw the old man off the pier?" "Goshdarnit! Didn't you see the company he arrived with?" The group of four anxiously waits for Sarge's next move. "If ye want to learn more about that blasted game, ask me worthless husband. It's all he ever talks about nowadays."
