Ellaria blushes. "I'm not against being a party leader, although it is quite a responsibility. But it is up to you guys, of course. I do agree that perhaps Dek'ra would be the most strategically sound choice to carry the Vibrator, being the least experienced out of us."

The actual meaning of the sentence is still left shrouded in mystery, though. "I am not a widow, not in the literal sense. And it would be freaky if there was demonic writing about me on that obelisk."

Nobody has really asked me to put it into the officially rules before this. Plus the rule page for negative effects is full already. But I see what I can do... Are there anymore widespread effects that people feel should be made official?

"I'm sorry, Mister Hunkster, but I cannot imbue scrolls into shields, only into artefacts. Shields belong to Anwyl's field of expertize, but I doubt he can do anything with the scrolls, either."

QM Note: TheBoyWonder, why don't you try out the party leader position for a while instead of trying to give it away instantly? The Fields are a perfect chance to try your wings at it, since the battles are so simple. Sorry, but that's not how favouring works. You need to roll a Shield to be able to favour an enemy type. Please read the rules for the Hunter class again.

Everyone, post your actions.

QM Note: No, you can only perform one action per turn. Attacking is one action, and so is using an item like a bone.

QM Note: Of course there was a mistake in the puzzle. The correct version is below. Byblos spends 31 ether to focus on the cryptic message on the obelisk, then consumes the Ether Core Atramor tossed him to replenish his ether. "Alright, let us tackle this beast. First of all, Catnip sensed a demonic presence in the text, so perhaps it has something to do with this eye demon we are looking for. Secondly, the way the letters are arranged seems to indicate that each of them is simply a replacement of another letter. They should form a sentence in the common tongue, that is once the real letters are decoded. It is definitely not an anagram, and I don't think vowels and consonants make any difference as to which letter represents which. Is that enough to go on?" ARA UMZEBAK MYTHA, UNFTU ELNAK YASTU.

I think I have to feature a Bonecrafter soon, an NPC that can make weapons, artefacts and other items out of all the excess bones that heroes carry.

"Well, I'm stumped, but perhaps if I used some ether to boost my brainpower via the Arcane Wisdom trait we scholars have, we might get further with this... But how much ether should I use?"

QM Note: That earns you a frown on my behalf, since the quest is already underway. But I'll let it slide, this time. TheBoyWonder, you seem to have a Drumstick on your inventory from before. Is that a mistake or are you just saving it for some occassion? Also, what type of a weapon is your Dawnbreaker? PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

OoC: See the Spirit Robe I have equipped. "Hmm, I think the first obstacle we have to face is getting down these slippery stairs." Ellaria whacks the icy staircase with her fiery staff to melt the ice away. "I don't think Lawrence is the smartest choice for the carrier, after all. He's clearly our most potent damage dealer. I suggest either me or Dek'ra take the Vibrator instead. As for the matter of the party leader, I have never been one, despite being on multiple quests. I don't know how I would fare as one..."

QM Note: Do Palathadric and Wedge even know they're supposed to be at the Fields now?

"Hey, I'm supposed to be the feeble woman here, ready to swoon at your feet at any time. But luckily we have Lawrence here to do the heavy lifting. We are ready to depart, Dr. Telsa, as soon as you tell us which one of us is the party leader."

Sure they were, but that was before they became Veterans.

QM Note: Umm, be my guest...?

The seventh group to venture into the Fields of Glory walks into Old Mac's farm. The farmer-turned-monster-rancher greets them. "Howdy ho! Only a party of four this time?

Scheherazade was opening a window to let the cool winter breeze into the Hall when a rooster flew in from it. "Cock-a-doodle-doo! [i come bearing the names of the next party of heroes to venture into the Fields of Glory!]" Chosen participants to Unlimited Quest: Fields of Glory: ~Avalanche, Level 8 Barbarian (Dragonfire) ~Romulus Dean, Level 21 2/3 Raider (TheBoyWonder) *Party Leader* ~Alexander Vandangant, Level 19 Hunter (Wedge09) ~Monk Pretzel, Level 23 1/3 Paladin (Palathadric) QM Note: Sorry, Flipz & co, but I decided to take the less experienced party into the Fields this time for that very reason - they are less experienced.

The index of quests now marks which quests were successful and which failed, in addition to the cancelled ones. It was surprising to see that only a total of 8 quests have failed so far - three of which were mine.

"Sounds like an exciting machine you've got there, this Vibrator or what was it called again. Can you be any more specific about how it functions? I've heard of minstrels enhancing their singing voice with ethereal magic, is it something similar to that? Oh, and how large is the contraption? The trip isn't long, but then again, none of us have much in the muscle department." She looks over her shoulder to glance at Boomingham. "Sorry, Lawrence."
