QM Note: I need specific, bolded actions, and the turn order, please. Also remember that you can only do one thing per round, unless you are hastened. The reaper is standing in between the heroes and the girl on the narrow gallery, it is impossible to pass him.

Noel looks at Heckz incredulously. "I'm fifteen! I'm not a bloody Wizard King quite yet..."

QM Note: The message loaded slow so I knew something funky was going on. Luckily I then copy&pasted the text, so the messiness has been edited away now.

Results of Round One of the Reaper Battle: >Karie uses Scroll of Frailty on Reaper - Failure (Karie: -1 ether) Sorrow uses Exterium on Reaper - (Reaper: confused and plagued for 3 rounds) Sorrow (Sharkjaw Scythe) vs. Reaper - Lethal Hit/Shield (Grim Reaper - Reaper: no assassination, no gold stolen) >Thalion (Light) vs. Reaper (twice) - Spell (Reaper: no damage; Thalion: -2 ether) >Noel uses Big Box on Reaper - (Reaper: no damage+stunned; Noel: -5 ether) >Heckz (Light) vs. Reaper - Sleight of Hand (Reaper: confused; Heckz: -1 ether, no gold stolen) Erik vs. Reaper - Special Damage (Reaper: recover from stunned) >Amorith (Light) vs. Reaper - Damage (Reaper: confused, no damage) Facing an enemy like none they have ever encountered before, the heroes give all they've got to save the Mopag boy, but their attacks seem to do no harm to the Reaper. Sorrow makes it confused and plagued, and Noel even manages to stun it for a while, but it shakes the effect off. In the end, the fate of the student called Ixion is sealed. With a horrifying crunch, the Reaper breaks the boys neck and tosses his corpse over the railing and onto the floor of the foyer below. "IXION! NOOO!!!" The Reaper then turns towards the screaming girl and starts to approach her. "Memento Mori", it whispers in a spine-chilling voice. How can the heroes defeat an enemy that cannot be damaged?

Drops: Reaper’s Scythe (WP:33, damages only humanoids; suitable to assassins only; scythe) Note: The Reaper will seize hold of the female student unless it is defeated or stopped in the next round.

Ellaria shakes her head to clear the fog as Boomingham revives her. "I'm so sorry... That didn't go as planned at all..." Ellaria then uses a Phoenix Essence on Hybros from the back row.

Professor Watt agrees to follow the party. He will not participate in battles in any way, though. The professor stumbles backwards as Sorrow approaches him, before he recognizes the assassin. "Gah! ...Oh, my apologies! You look... different with the hood down. As a matter of fact, the demon that attacked was also a skeletal figure clad in a black hood and cape, and carrying an enormous scythe." The party then hears a shrill scream coming from the direction of the Entrance Hall, and they rush through the door at the other end of the hallway. Arriving to the gallery above the entrance hall, they see the demon Professor Watt described with a chokehold on a male Mopag student. Another Mopag, a girl, stood behind the monster, screaming. "Ixion!!!" The panicking girl then sees the heroes. "It got my brother! Do something before it kills him!" "Joy... Run..." PREPARE FOR BATTLE! Enemy: Reaper Type: Demon Level: 99 Health: ?/?

"Uh, okay... I can follow you by all means, but I can't fight for the life of me. Didn't you see what that demon did to me when I tried to oppose it?!"

The professor gladly drinks the potion Karie offers him. His wound heals up right in front of everyone's eyes. "Ah, thank you, Miss! I was honestly quite surprised myself when I stood against that hideous monster. It ran after the students towards the entrance hall." Professor Watt points at the other end of the corridor. "May I ask, are you people from Heroica? If so, maybe you could find use of the artifact I have in the history classroom on the second floor of the East Wing. I found it beneath in the ruins beneath this city, so it must date back to the Nu Mercutian Era. I haven't uncovered it purposes yet, but it reacted to demonic ashes when I examined it, and that monster I encountered could not have been anything other than a demon. Umm, can you show me the way out now?" "Sorry, prof, but there's no way out except through the highly dangerous and super bumpy Z-Mail delivery. It costs me 5 ether to summon the big box to where I am, which fits up to six people at a time, and another 5 ether to send it to my mother. Cuts and bruises are guaranteed." "Really?! Oh dear... Should I just stay here, then, and wait for another demon to come and finish me off?"

Naamah laughs at Atramor's insult. Combined with the tears of sand rolling down her cheeks, the laughter is spine-chilling. "YOUR WORDS ARE MEANINGLESS TO ME, MORTAL. YOU MAY WIELD MEPHISTO'S ROD, BUT YOUR LIFE IS NO MORE THAN A GRAIN OF SAND IN THE GREAT HOURGLASS OF ETERNITY. THAT MAN WHO RETRIEVED THE PANDEMONICON, THOUGH, HE IS DIFFERENT. HE COULD POTENTIALLY TURN THE WHOLE HOURGLASS UPSIDE DOWN AND RESTART THE FLOW OF TIME. HMMM, MAYBE I WILL MARRY HIM NEXT..." Results of Round One of the Naamah Battle: Saladdin hits Nebukadnezzar - (Nebukadnezzar: 1283 health-(50x2=100 dmg)=1183 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) Pyromancer hits Nebukadnezzar - (Nebukadnezzar: 1183 health-(40x2=80 dmg)=1103 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) >Atramor (Pheles Rod) vs. Ghoul Guard Babool - Special Damage (Cover - Babool: cover Nebukadnezzar; Atramor: Aura) >Docken vs. Naamah - Critical Hit (Naamah: 2407 health-54 dmg=2353 health) >Namyrra (Light) vs. Naamah - Special Damage (Sands of Time - Atramor: hastened & slowed; Naamah: -3 ether) >Nyx (Darkness) vs. Ghoul Guard Abeb - Spell Counter (Nyx Atramor: 216 health+25 SP-(52/2=26 dmg)=215 health; Abeb: 852 health+4 SP-(47x2=94 dmg)=762 health; Nyx: -1 ether) >Byblos uses Banana on himself - (Byblos: full health restored) Nebukadnezzar - Free Hit vs. Atramor (Atramor: 215 health+25 SP-(64/2=32 dmg)=208 health) Being able to make use of her personal army again, Namyrra orders some of her undead to attack the ghoul of the late king. The Pheles Rod dons an Aura over Atramor, while the Ghoul Guard Babool covers his king from damage. Docken lands a critical hit on Naamah. The archdemoness then uses her hourglass to warp time, but Atramor draws the attack on himself, becoming both hastened and slowed. Atramor also takes damage for Nyx, who in turn fires a dark spell at the attacker. Byblos finally peels open the sole banana he packed for the voyage. "Farewell, my friend", the librarian whispers as he gulps the banana down. It has began to rot in the heat, but it still does it's job. King Nebukadnezzar lunges at Atramor, injuring him further. All enemies still remain.

The party exits the taxidermy storage, and come to a hallway. There are eight doors along the corridor, including the one they came through: one on each end of the hallway and three on both sides. The party came from the middle door on their side of the hallway. The hallway is empty except for a person lying in a puddle of blood. "Holy hell, that's Professor Watt! He's my archaelogy teacher!" As the party runs to the teacher, they see that he is still alive, but just barely - there's a gaping wound in his stomach. He looks at them with worn eyes. "A m-monster... attacked...

Ellaria attacks both Yeto and Itsuki from the front row.

Half-spider, half-woman creatures have actually been surprisingly common creatures of lore since the ancient times, like for example Arachne and Jorogumo.

I accidentally had the old version of the item in the stats. I thought it over, and decided that petrification was too much, even for an earth-elemental archdemon.

Atramor opens the webbing and finds the corpse of a man wearing an elaborate crown. He can determine that the man has not been dead for too long, a few decades at most. The dry desert air and the cobweb has conserved the body well. Since he hasn't been given a proper burial, it's not unreasonable to assume the corpse had been King Nebukadnezzar XIII himself. Besides the king, Nyx finds the corpses of two guards. There are also several heavy, gilded chests, but they are all locked. The corpses have nothing special about them, but as Docken looks up, he sees a pair of gleaming eyes looking down at the party. Then the still air stirrs, and a huge spider with a woman's upper body descends on a narrow string of webbing from the shadows above. As she got closer, the heroes saw sand dripping from the spider's eyes. She was also carrying a large hourglass. "SO IT WAS YOU WHO CAUSED THE RUCKUS ABOVE. I SENSED THAT AHRIMAN WAS BANISHED BACK TO WHERE HE BELONGED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE MAN HAD TO HIM BACK WITH THE PANDEMONICON HE TOOK FROM HERE." "W-wait! You are Naamah, correct? Are you saying there was a copy of the Pandemonicon in this palace?" "YES, I AM NAAMAH. SOME MOCKINGLY CALL ME THE GREEDY WIDOW. AND INDEED, A MAN TOOK THE LATE KING'S PANDEMONICON AND USED IT TO OPEN A GATEWAY TO AZAZOT, BRINGING AHRIMAN BACK TO THIS WORLD. ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH, FOR HE WAS TOO POWERFULTO DISOBEY. BUT THEN THE MAN JUST LEFT BOTH OF US HERE, TELLING US TO WAIT UNTIL HE GOT HIS INVESTIGATIONS DONE. AHRIMAN AND I AGREED TO CALL A TRUCE FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT I AM GLAD HE IS GONE AGAIN. THIS LAND BELONGS TO ME!" Byblos turns to the others with a worried look. "I I understood correctly, there was another Pandemonicon here which was taken by this mysterious man. He instantly used it to control Naamah and summon another archdemon here as well, which means he is powerful beyond belief. Do you see now what I meant by the book rather being in the hands of someone good rather than someone with malicious intents?! And to think there's two surviving copies now..." "AH, YES! YOU ARE A BEARER OF A PANDEMONICON YOURSELF! AND MUCH WEAKER THAN THAT MAN... I SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE DISPOSING YOU AND GIVING THE BOOK BACK TO MY BELOVED KING. RISE, MY HUSBAND THE RULER OF AZZURAT! CLAIM BACK WHAT IS YOURS!" As the archdemon turned the hourglass in her hands, the bodies in the room began to stir. Soon the heroes were faced with not only an spider demoness but three reanimated corpses as well. "Give... me... back... my... book!" PREPARE FOR OPTIONAL BOSS BATTLE!

"Uhh, sorry, Miss Karie, but I'm just fine. Really!" The young half-elf blushes. Apparently he's not as confident around young women as he leads on. "But yeah, I major in magic, but I also study monstrology and physics on the side. When I grow up, I'm going to take over the world and become a Wizard King. Mwahah!" "Like I mentioned, there's us black-clad Gothics, who have rivarly with the Chirls - that's short for Cheer Girls - and the greasy-haired Fonzies, who date the Chirls. Then there's the nerdy Foureyes. You recognize them from the glasses they wear. Then there's the different races: the orcish Greenies, the Midgets comprising of dwarves, halflings, gnomes and such, and the elven Pointers - I don't mesh with them despite my ears being the same shape. Oh, and finally there's the Rogues. They only go to this school because they have to, so they spend their days making it as hard enough for the rest of us as possible. That's why nobody likes them. There's plenty of students that do not belong to any faction, though. "I was in Professor Hawke's class in the Biology Classroom when the monster attacked. I don't know if he's there anymore, though. He's one of the few teachers that can look after themselves. I don't know where any of the teachers are, except maybe hiding in their respective classrooms or the faculty offices." "Stunkent's a wereskunk, so yeah, he smells pretty foul. But I don't think his stench encompasses the whole school, though..." Noel then looks at Heckz. "If there's no further questions, we should probably head out to look for the others." QM Note: From now on, I will keep tabs on your progress through the rescue of the students and teachers. It is not required to save everyone to successfully complete the quest - it might not even be possible - but saving people affects the bonus rewards you will get after the quest is over. Missing: 72/73 Found: 1/73 Saved: 0/73 Dead: 0/73

OoC: I'm back! Ellaria repeats her action like Zepher said, but you forgot to decrease her ether. Scroll casting spends ether no matter the outcome.

~Two new quests have been posted on the Quest Board (#94 by Kintobor and #95 by Bricksandparts)!~

Yes, the damage reflected is directly equal to damage taken. So if Docken's SP is high enough to block the attack completely, no damage will be reflected by the Iris Shield, either.

QM Note: Still waiting for Quarryman to divvy up the loot, but I'll move you on anyway. Alas, I will be away for the rest of the day and tomorrow, so the next update will come on Sunday. "Your ignorance breaks my heart, Atramor. Demons cannot be killed in the first place, only banished back to where they came from. Someone must have summoned them to this place from their own plane of existence. Why should only the villains be able to control demons like that, to do their dirty work for them? Would it not be only fair that heroes had the same advantage? Demons are creatures of destruction, I know, but I firmly believe that if they are properly studied, they can be used to oppose evil as well." Byblos tried to give the others an assuring smile, but pain made him wince. The party then decided to walk down the stairs and check the interior of the ziggurat. They entered the dark, dusty hall through the few windows that still remained above the sand. Inside, they found human corpses wrapped into something that looked like cobweb.

OoC: You forgot to mark Eddie as sealed. Also, I've got another busy weekend ahead of me, so Zepher will have control over Ellaria until Sunday. Ellaria feels elated for the successful sealing, so she decides to seal Itsuki and if she's successful, she will attack him from the front row, dealing double damage due to the Ignis Fatuus' elemental properties, otherwise she will attempt to seal him again.
