Assassination, or causing doomed or petrification, as it was immune to none of them.

The heroes stop by at the bar to see their acquaintances in Farzibar for one last time. Hathor rushes to hug Byblos as soon as the party steps inside the bar. "Byblos-baby, you made it back! I was beginning to worry! You look much better now, too! Nothing like a good healthy trip to the outdoors to clean up all the dust gathered from the years spent with the books, eh?" "Eh, of course, Auntie Hathor. That must've been it..." Meanwhile, Nizam is on his good way back to total drunkedness. "Friendsh! What a great pleashure to shee you all in one piece! I don't remember there being sho many of you, though... Did you run into a multiplying demon or shhhh...?" Nizam's head hits the table, and within seconds he begins snoring. "Dear old Nizam... Oh! By the way, I saw the demon huntress you hired run past the bar earlier. She was after some man with a wide-brimmed hat. They both entered the abandoned house, the one with the... you know... secret portal", Hathor taps the side of her snout. "What was that all about?"

They see Ixion's twisted body sprawled on the floor. Joy's sobs turn into a desperate wail. The mysterious event has gotten it's first victim. The entrance hall has six doors. One on both ends of the gallery, one on both sides of the hall, the large main doors that would normally lead outside, and a back door that for some reason now has a demonic face on it.

The figure is too far off for any spell to reach it. "None of us packed a telescope, huh? We could have gotten a better look at who Miss Everdream was chasing with one, but no use crying over spilt banana juice. We should probably head back to Farzibar. That is where that pursuit seems to be headed, after all..." The night fell upon them as they trekked through the desert. No longer needing to drink up or cover themselves from heat and sandstorms, the trip back was uneventful. The village of Farzibar was fast asleep. The only source of light and noise was the Drunken Monkey Bar. "Can we go and bid farewell to Hathor and Nizam, or are we in a hurry to return to Eubric?"

"Ah, of course! All or nothing, then." Ellaria winks at Boomingham and moves closer to her target, attacking Itsuki from the front row.

I'll try to answer more letters tomorrow. Just for the record, the letters still take place during Grogmas, ie. before Quest#93.

QM Note: Ixion's body was thrown off the balcony, so you can't reach him for as long as you're in the battle.

QM Note: Fixed. Byblos turns towards the others. "Aren't we done here? We vanquished the demon that had been plagued the Oracle's dreams, as well as the one that caused this cursed desert to appear in the first place - and on top of that, I can now finish my studies on the Pandemonicon, just like the Veterans wanted me to do. I almost faltered at my personal mission, but I had you backing me up. I cannot thank you enough, my friends. I know you had your doubts, and I don't blame you. Just trust me that I can handle this book from now on. I will not become another King Haeresias or Nebukadnezzar." After they had packed all the loot and gold into the bags, the heroes exited the ziggurat and walked to the gates of the city. In the horizon they spotted two running figures as a stark contrast to the monochromatic desert. "Isn't that Miss Everdream? Who is she chasing? All I can make out is a wide-brimmed hat and a flowing cape..."

The Reaper changes it's form back to the original. The demon is kept at bay for the time being by the sleep spell. Noel looks at Professor Abbot desperately. "Prof, can't you figure out something?!" "Umm, I am not an expert of supernatural beings, but from what I can gather, it is impervious to all kinds of damage, but seems susceptible to negative effects. It also seems to be some sort of personification of death, but I don't know how you can counter that... except maybe by living."

OoC: If someone doesn't post their action in 24 hours, the QM has the "right" to have their character repeat their previous action or just do nothing to keep things moving. It's kind of an unwritten rule in this game, except that it actually might be written somewhere...

Results of Round Seven of the Naamah Battle: Saladdin hits Nebukadnezzar - (Nebukadnezzar: 69 health-(50x4=200 dmg)=0 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) >Namyrra uses Remedy on Byblos - (Byblos: negative effects removed) Byblos retrieves Pandemonicon >Atramor does nothing >Atramor does nothing >Docken vs. Naamah - Special Damage (Sands of Time - Naamah: hastened; Atramor: hastened; Docken: slowed; Namyrra: hastened; Nyx: slowed; Byblos: hastened; Naamah: -3 ether) >Nyx (Healing Staff) vs. Atramor - Counter (Nyx: no effect; Atramor: +37 health) >Namyrra does nothing >Byblos goes into trance Naamah - Free Hit vs. Namyrra (Namyrra: 40 health+10 SP-(76/2=38 dmg)=12 health) The undead Nomad Prince defeats the corpse of King Nebukadnezzar. Namyrra removes Byblos' sickness, allowing him to retrieve the Pandemonicon. "Thank you, my friend. Now I just have to... focus..." Naamah the Greedy Widow laughs at Byblos as the Metasimian squeezes the tome against his chest with eyes shut tight. The archdemoness turns her hourglass again, making herself hastened as well as Namyrra and Byblos, but slowing down Docken and Nyx. Nyx manages to restore some health to Atramor in the meanwhile. Suddenly Byblos's eyes open with a blast of light. He has gone into the trance again. "It is now or never! Prove thyself or die!" Naamah ignores the librarian, instead attacking Namyrra. Results of Round Eight Byblos uses Pandemonicon on Naamah The entranced Byblos opens the Book of Demons from the pages that used to be sealed from him. Now he understood them perfectly. He spoke to the archdemon, this time with his own voice. "This tome was created by the Dark Angels in ancient times to give mortals power over your kin. But mortal hearts are easily seduced, so the power of this book became corrupted. Only those with the purest soul can use it for its original purpose: to force demons to obey without question. Now I, Byblos of Heroica, command you, Naamah the Greedy! Return to Azazot, and never come back!" Byblos's words turned into a blast of energy that hit Naamah and twisted the surroundings, opening a rift between dimensions. The archdemoness screamed as she was forced into the rift. Only the hourglass she had been carrying was left behind. As the rift closes, the light fades from Byblos's eyes, and he looks at the other heroes incredulously. "Did I just do that?!" THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Docken and Namyrra gain three fourths of a level. Byblos gains two fourths of a level. Atramor and Nyx gain a fourth of a level.

It wouldn't be much of a challenge to the party if I outright told them what they needed to do to defeat the enemy, would it?

Not being a native English-speaker adds a whole new level of difficulty to giving characters recognizable speech patterns or mannerisms. The blatant, over-the-top accents of Umbra, Count Shadeaux and Dr. Cula relate to that - I wanted to make them distinctly "foreign" because I didn't want all my NPCs to speak the same way. That's also why Madame Butterfly "hmmm"s alot and Nuitan stutters. I know those mannerisms are quite clichéd, but it also sets them apart from the masses. As for Ellaria, she's not unique as a character when it comes to fiction, but in the context of this game, there are very few innocent, borderline naïve characters such as her. She's a simple country girl, but uneducated rather than dumb. I wasn't confident enough to give her a "doo-hicky" speach pattern, but her lack of eloquence surfaces at times (such as having a hard time to pronounce Vibrataphone).

"Sorry, but the animal must be packed in a box, and I kinda need a person to send it to. Don't look at me, I didn't make the rules. Blame my mom."

QM Note: I'm not trying to ruin your creative strike here, but please, let's at least follow the mechanics of this game and stop stripping underaged NPCs. Noel's shirt isn't an item that can be used like that, and even I'm not crazy enough to create enemies that can only be defeated by a shirt... You actually have several ways to defeat the enemy which are pretty obvious if you just use your logic.
