Job classes are public information, no worries. Their abilities can be somewhat different from the main game, though.

Phew! 42 private messages later... Everyone should have their characters now, so please put the character's pic as your avatar or into your signature asap. You still have to wait for a moment for me to get the first Day-topic up. Glad I didn't have any other plans for this evening...

Bah, I haven't even begun sending them yet.

Ellaria kneels to check the remains of the guard for any anomalities. She then grabs the spear and the sword, investigates them and takes them with her. "Alright, ready to go now!" she says cheerfully as she gets up. "The warehouse on the left, we'll begin there."

Welcome aboard at the last minute, Masked Builder! I'll start sending those character PMs as soon as possible.

THE SIGN-UPS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER! However, there's room for one more player, as I have to sleep and go to work before I can start sending the private messages. So the next person to post into this topic that they want to play will get in. If nobody else signs up before I get home from work tomorrow, we'll start the game with "just" the 41 players that have signed up until now. Thanks again for signing in, we'll have a great (if a bit gory) couple of weeks ahead of us! FINAL SIGN-UPS: 1. Brickdoctor 2. CallMePie 3. Capt.JohnPaul 4. Chromeknight 5. CorneliusMurdock 6.

The sign-ups to Cruel Angel's Thesis end within an hour. If you want in, now is your last chance!

The last hour to sign-up starts now! I've got 42 characters prepared, so at least one more player would be appreciated in order for me to get to show them all.

QM Note: You're right, my bad! Matching six elements to two different types isn't a simple task.

Ellaria looks at the aloof dwarf. "Let's just go, he'll follow with us if he wants to."

What does it matter how it's pronounced? Nobody is going to say it out loud anyway, we're all just typing the name. But I guess your pronunciation is correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifuge_Rofocale I vote Lucifugay.

Ellaria looks at the elf, puzzled. "Why didn't you say anything sooner? Very well, let us go to these warehouses you speak of first, then. Ahvialyn and Throlar, are you with us?"

QM Note: Sorry, Fiery Thunderbolt should obviously not be hexed anymore. I just forgot to edit the effect out of her stats last round. Results of Round Eight of the Constellation Battle: Thalion uses Scroll of Frailty on Fiery Thunderbolt - Failure (Thalion: -1 ether) Atramor vs. Fiery Thunderbolt - Damage/Hit (Thunderbolt: 895 health-(48x4=192 dmg)=703 health+poisoned) >Atramor vs. Protector of Justice - Critical Hit/Poison (Protector: no effect) Tarn vs. Tianlong (twice) - Steal/Damage (Tarn: nothing to steal) Tarn vs. Tianlong (twice) - Damage/Hit (Tianlong: 287 health-(34x2=68+68=136 dmg)=151 health) Tesni vs. Tianlong - Deflected Counter/Extra Critical Furious Hit (Tianlong: 151 health-(62x2=124 dmg)=27 health) Tesni vs. Tianlong - Extra Critical Furious Hit/Deflected Counter (Tianlong: 27 health-(62x2=124 dmg)=0 health) Nagure vs. Tianlong Fiery Thunderbolt - Deflected Damage/Deflected Counter (Nagure Atramor: no effect; Thunderbolt: 953 health-(29x2=58 dmg)=895 health) Nagure vs. Tianlong Fiery Thunderbolt - Furious Hit/Deflected Counter (Thunderbolt: 703 health-(29x2=58 dmg)=645 health) Benji (Beast Form) vs. Tianlong Fiery Thunderbolt - Counter/Bite (Thunderbolt: 645 health-(37x2=74 dmg)=571 health; Benji: +74 health) Benji (Beast Form) vs. Tianlong Fiery Thunderbolt - Counter/Shield (Beast Unleashed - 1 hit; Thunderbolt: 571 health-(37x6=222 dmg)=349 health; Benji: revert) Lee vs. Tianlong Protector of Justice - Martial Counter/Martial Counter (Lee Atramor: 130 health+6 SP-(60/2=30 dmg)=106 health; Protector: 1825 health+6 SP-(52x2=104 dmg)=1727 health) Lee vs. Tianlong Protector of Justice - Critical Martial Hit/Martial Hit (Protector: 1727 health+6 SP-(52x6=312 dmg)=1421 health) Emeray vs. Fiery Thunderbolt - Special Damage (Heavenly Fireworks - Atramor: no effect; Thunderbolt: -1 ether) Topazor vs. Fiery Thunderbolt - Special Damage (Heavenly Fireworks - Atramor: no effect; Thunderbolt: -1 ether) Fiery Thunderbolt - Poisoned (-1 health) Lee - Blessed & Transcended (+3 health, +1 ether) The celestial dragon finally falls to Tesni's blade, and evaporates into a wet mist that reflects rainbows all over the room. The heroes have no time to marvel at the beautiful sight, though, for two more Stars remain. The dinobeast Benji let's out all his fury, but cannot defeat the Fiery Thunderbolt before reverting back to his human self. The rebel wizardess attempts to cast her fireworks twice, but Atramor absorbs them both times.

In this game's lore, angels are said to be creations of Ennoc, while demons originate from Azazot. That doesn't mean that all angels are perfectly good, and all demons completely evil.

Ellaria thought Nerwen was being awfully indecisive for a party leader, but then again, maybe her long life had taught her that people tend to respond better when you gave them options. She still felt the party shouldn't split up like that in such a hostile environment, but apparently her opinion mattered little to the elf. "I already said I am willing to go where you point me, so apparently it's back to the Marketplace for us. Come, Ahvialyn and Misters Vandangant and Wineghlim, let's go chat with the merchants some more." Taking matters into her own hand, since their party leader refused to do so, Ellaria walked out of the Inn and headed to the Marketplace, again only hoping that the others would follow her.

A good guess, but there's actually just seven archdemons, and Azazot is above them all. Abraxas is indeed the Archdemon of Pride, but his element is lightning. Mephisto, the Archdemon of Gluttony, was ice-elemental, and Marilith, the Archdemon of Wrath, is fire-elemental. An upcoming quest of mine will feature a fourth archdemon, but he doesn't dwell in Eubric.

Unfortunately that sounds like a problem, so it's better you sit this one out. Sorry! The turn-out has been great, and I think we have plenty enough sign-ups for this, so I'm going to close the sign-ups early. You have 6 more hours to sign up, if you want to play.

You still would have gotten the reputation, but Dr. Cula would have been in a pickle. You're ugly. The Masked Man is one of my favorite designs. He even sports all the colors of his faction. Fullmetal Alchemist was part of my inspiration, I admit.

I wasn't planning to. It's not my cup of tea to really evaluate people's performances, and of course there's never anything wrong with my performance or the stories I tell. I will say that had you let Frimelda live, she would have ended up joining Heroica. Besides the option to go to the Masked Man, that's the only thing you missed from the quest, you even fought through all the optional battles as well.

Quest #74 has now been updated with an epilogue that features the last major NPC that has not made an appearance in any quest yet: the Masked Man, the armoured leader of the Guild of Invision. Now that everyone has been introduced, it's probably time to start cutting down the numbers with a more heavy hand.

Epilogue: Invision Guildhouse After a full day's sleep in his coffin, Alphonse Cula was still exhilarated about the scientific breakthrough he had made the previous night. He walked to his workplace whistling merrily inside his mind - he had lost that ability when he was turned into a vampire, as the fangs got in the way. Alchemical lamps spread their pale blue light to the lobby of the guildhouse. "Nov all I need to do ith to repeat the prothethth!" the vampiric doctor chatted by himself. "But vhere could I vind a thuitably fretht body, iv the graveyard ith out ov the quethtion...?" Suddenly a hollow voice called him by the name. Dr. Cula froze, as he knew that voice all too well. "Good night, Alphonse. May I have a word with you?" Was the Masked Man onto him? Dr. Cula hadn't really asked his permission to dig around the guild's archives, after all. And the Masked Man was notorious for wanting to keep all the strings in his metal-covered hands. Crossing with him had been the last thing many ambitious alchemists had done in the past. Dr. Cula still remembered clearly the treatment that Nikolaus Steerpike had gotten from the guildmaster before he had been tossed out of the guild... "G-good night to you too, thir. Ov courthe I alvayth have time vor you, thir. Vhat'th on your mind?" "I was wondering if you have seen some old notes that have gone missing from the archives? They are very important, and extremely confidential, so I would not want them to get into wrong hands." "N-noteth, thir? No, I have not even been in the archiveth vor monthth. But I vill keep an eye out vor them, thir." "Good. I have always been able to trust you, Alphonse. It would break my figurative heart if that was to ever change." Dr. Cula gulped as he watched the guildmaster walk away with long, clattering strides. The Masked Man was still a big mystery to everyone, including Alphonse. The guild's annals revealed that the Masked Man had been leading it with an iron grip for over two centuries now. Dr. Cula would not be surprised if it turned out that the bronze armour hid the spirit of Dr. Theophrastus Paracelsior himself... How that would be possible, Dr. Cula could not say, but the notes he had acquired could provide one possible explanation to it.

Wow, I just love how the different colored leaves blend together! Thank you TLG for finally giving us the leaf piece in other colors than just shades of green! Truly a magnificent creation, great job! The minifigs are great, as well, very fitting.

Let me make it very clear: this is not a traditional Mafia game. You will not learn how to play Mafia games when you participate into this game. Likewise, it does not follow the rules and mechanics of Heroica RPG either, so participating into this game will not teach you how to play HRPG. This game only borrows elements from both games, and mixes them into a unique event.
