Wow, who could have ever guessed you would say something like that? It'll take a great amount of time and gold to buy nine gems and imbue them into the weapon, especially with the new stealing mechanic. If someone is willing to go through the trouble, he or she has definitely earned the weapon. I probably won't be taking him or her to any of my quests after that, though.

The Crystal Titan has awakened! Good luck trying to beat that one.

CURRENT SIGN-UPS FOR QUEST #85: 1. Arasmyth RuGard, Level 15 1/2 Evoker (Kadabra) 2. Atramor Gibbin, Level 30 Regulator (CallMePie) 3. Sorrow, Level 24 1/3 Assassin (Endgame) 4. Althior Emorith, Level 36 2/4 Necromancer (K-Nut) 5. Grimwald Gjinko, Level 12 1/2 Cleric (LordoftheNoobs) 6. Nyx, Level 28 1/3 Battle Mage (Pandora) 7. Avalanche, Level 1 Barbarian (Dragonfire) 8.

Ellaria's troops enter the building to the north-east (if I've deciphered the hexes correctly) and engages in a battle with Pongcanis Spearmen (A).

I already asked her to take the upgrade back. I don't know why she didn't edit the post, though...

Dual Strike only affects normal attacks, it doesn't apply to Shield-skills that already deal damage to multiple enemies. On the contrary, maximum health is restored to the normal value once Cursed-effect is remedied. The current health is not, though. Cursing does not mean permanent loss of max. health.

Ellaria's group gathers around her, awaiting orders. The situation feels overwhelming to her, but she gathers herself. Then she sees Arthur and his troops nearby. "Arthur! It seems it's advantageous for us to move in unison. We should probably move ahead and clear the way from enemies so that the ambassadors can advance in. Troops, let us advance north-east!"

OoC: I'm confused, does Ellaria, Arthur and Throlar lead three different groups of resistance members, or do we three work together with one battalion? Also, I will be away for the entirety of Saturday and most of Sunday, so I cannot check back on the quest until Sunday evening (my timezone being GMT +2). If needed, I hand over control of Ellaria to Flipz during my absence. Ellaria turns to the resistance members. "I'm not much of a leader, but I'm pretty good at keeping people alive. If you follow me and my friends, I promise you that we will make this city a lively place again. No more raids, no more mindless murders, no more Pongcanae. I can give you that, in the name of Sylvania." Ellaria hopes that her little speech would at least somewhat boost the morale of the group she was suddenly supposed to lead into battle. Even though she was still unsure, she had never felt such determination before. These people deserved better than a life like this.

Meh, I'll just get the minifigs separately from Bricklink. The sets don't do anything for me, being nothing but vehicles.

Here's the victory conditions for each alignment: Your allegiance is with Heroica, so you and the other loyal heroes need to find and kill all Nephilim hiding amongst your organization in order to win. Your allegiance is with the Nephilim, so you and your companions need to outnumber the other players in order to win. The other Nephilim are: Corelin Moordog (CorneliusMurdock), Level 25 Warden Cromeo Nightingale (Chromeknight), Level 35 Harlot Fernandu Elysiam (Fred Daniel Yam), Level 18 Shaman Ezeal (Etzel), Level 14 Barbarian Retak Ysp (PsyKater), Level 37 Necromancer Shadir Oswain (Shadows), Level 21 Mystic Knight Zpilf (Flipz), Level 29 Black Knight One of you also carries the Angel’s Whisper, an item that can convert a loyal member of Heroica into a Nephilim when used. Geosmos: Your allegiance is Neutral. You win if you survive to the end. O'Blix: Your allegiance is initially with Heroica, so you and the other loyal heroes need to find and kill all Nephilim hiding amongst your organization in order to win. However, you can change your allegiance to the Nephilim and back by using Internal Conflict. If you side with the Nephilim, you have to survive until the end in the case they win. You will not learn the identities of the Nephilim by switching alignments.

Well, there's nothing stopping dwarves and gnomes who have assimilated into the culture in the surface to call their gods different names than their underground-dwelling brethren.

From the library topic: OLEG the Creator Some myths name him the forger of the world, while others say he is the inventor of inanimate objects. He is also associated with the earth and the underground. His symbols are the hammer, the flame and the golem. Many myths are told of the legendary artefacts crafted by Oleg. He is naturally the patron deity of smiths, architects and artisans, and his worship is concentrated to their workshops. He is known by the dwarves and gnomes as Orrik, the Earth Father.

Thanks! Just don't think I had all of that in my mind when I started this game two years ago. A lot of it has come along on the way, and I've sort of "connected the dots" between the new stuff and what I originally had planned.

Ellaria heals herself. "Alexander, I hope you can still see the tracks..."

CURRENT SIGN-UPS TO QUEST#85: 1. Elgar Gligin, Level 24 2/3 Druid (Jedi master Brick) 2. Sarge Mcency, Level 18 Witch (Pyrovisionary) 3. Thothwick, Level 24 1/3 Black Knight (Professor Flitwick) 4.

Ellaria will heal herself as Sir Abarlomi continues to attack the Swordsman.

"Don't worry, Gutter. The book will never leave my sight. Which reminds me..." The librarian scurried off, back to the Library. The book had told him that he had stretched out enough.

There's a few sidepaths to take, so it's hard to estimate, but the main story includes three battles. There can be many more, though, depending on the choices you make during the quest. And yes, it is Part II of the Pandemonicon storyarch.

Byblos turned his head to the speaker. "Gutter, was it? I... just need to go out more, I reckon. See the world again. This quest in particular intrigues me. Azzurat - a kingdom buried under sand... I have always wanted to visit the ruins." It was a blatant lie. In the past, Byblos would have never dared to venture into such a dangerous place. Things had certainly changed from that.

Here's to adress some of the questions and feedback you have given: I didn't plan it as far as that, since it was uncertain whether Geosmos would make it alive or not, but his report certainly did not make the Town Watch trust Heroica more. Especially Captain Lilbelly was always suspicious (and envious) of Heroica. Captain Patricia has given them more of a chance, even though the heroes have disappointed her almost every time. This was the "good ending" I had planned for, and I didn't want to make arbitrary exceptions based on personalities, so I had everyone just quit. The whole story of this event was about why Heroica was almost done for before the current heroes stepped into the picture. I needed to get rid of the old heroes one way or another, no matter what the outcome of this game was. By all means, all QMs should feel free to include any of the player characters that survived this game into their storylines, if they want to. I'd be honored if my cavalcade of zany ex-heroes made such an impression on someone! Everyone would have gotten one vote, and all of those who wouldn't get any votes would have won. Actually, nobody that was killed saw their killer during the course of the game. As Weyrdág is closely connected to one of the Veterans, it is entirely possible that we will see a cameo of her in the upcoming quests. So please let me know when you have plans for her in the future, so I will know how to portray her then.

With C.A.T. over and done with, I can finally pitch my latest quest. If you've ever wanted to share an adventure with Byblos, now is your chance!

~Two new quests have been posted on the Quest Board (#84 by Zepher and #85 by Sandy)!~ It had been ages since Byblos had stepped out of his Library, but something told him that this day would be a perfect time to stretch his legs - if only with a walk around the Hall. Heads turned as the librarian emerged from his hiding place, his clothes tattered and cheeks hollow, and dark circles around his eyes. The looks on the passers-by reflected pity and disgust. As he passed the Saloon, Scheherazade greeted him and made a comment, but Byblos ignored it completely. He was inexplicably drawn to the quest board to read the latest quest pitches. Immediately his eyes spotted a word. "Demons..." Byblos took out a pen and scribbled his name, signing up to Quest#85.

And here's the last batch. Damn I hate this Rich Text Editor and all of it's excessive coding! Werther Brickton (Waterbrick Down) - 49 years old male zombie Assassin - Once you were a happy man with a loving family and a considerable fortune. Then an envious wizard took it all away from you and turned you into a zombie so that you would be miserable for an eternity.

It seems I have to do it in several parts. Here's the second patch: Lorth-Anoob (LordoftheNoobs) - 42 years old female Pantanan Witch - Your home at the Marshlands of Pantana was nothing more than a hollow tree, so moving to a big city like Eubric was a huge change for you.

Maxi Ebdul (Masked Builder) - 35 years old male Asteriad Rogue - Once you sailed the Crystalline Sea on a pirate ship. However, the Bonapartes sunk it down, drowning your crewmates.

Scamander Taurros (Scubacarrot) - 34 years old male satyr Minstrel - You constantly wonder when world became so complicated all of a sudden. You used to just entertain people with your songs and ditties, now you use them in battle to keep up the morale.
