Before departing, Ellaria glanced at the dwarf that was left roomless. Then she winked at Boomingham. "Lawrence, have some pity. I'm sure a battle-hardened warrior such as Mr. Wineghlim would not mind sleeping on the floor."

"It sounds us three girls will fit snuggly to one room with two beds. Here's 15 gold for it. Now all we have to do is wait for the others to come around."

I have nothing against collaborative quests, at least if the division of who does what is clear (to avoid any conflicts between the hosts). In fact, there has been a few suggestions about some people collaborating on a quest, but they have all gotten cancelled for some reason. Fitting together two viewpoints isn't easy, but if for example one is in charge of the story and the other of the game mechanics, then it just might be a match made in heaven. Sorry, I had no way of knowing, since your host never informed me about it. Please QMs, if you award your players reputation with a faction in the middle of a quest, mark it clearly at the conclusion as well or PM me about it. I really cannot actively follow every quest that goes on, I just don't have time for that.

"Pray tell me, what kind of rooms do you have, then?"

Ellaria nods to Throlar as they enter the Inn. "I am glad to see you are making acquaintances rather than new enemies, Mr. Wineghlim. Oh, have you seen Nerwen, Arthur or Ahvialyn around? We need to gather our information to decide our course of action." "Yes. How much do you charge for a three-bed room with a personal lavatory? I think us three women in our party could use a little time to ourselves."

Nobody touches my quest ideas! I honestly don't see the value of swapping quests, either, but more collaboration would of course be nice to see (and do it myself as well). f you read it, the party in Quest#74 had an option to go visit the Masked Man, but they chose not to. I've been meaning to do a short epilogue featuring him and Dr. Cula, but I haven't had time to build anything whole week.

It was established that it does not. The Town Watch performs any and all rulings themselves, which is understandably one of the biggest causes of unhappiness against them. That and the fact that a lot of the guardsman are self righteous and corrupt. Also I imagine some of the temples do limited rulings, on spiritual and perhaps magical matters, the Paladins for example. Eubric has no laws, so naturally it cannot have a courthouse. However, it is not just the Town Watch that's punishing people for ill behaviour. At least the Bonapartes, the Hinckwells, the Shadeaux and the Ji Pei have their personal guards that go after people who have wronged the houses (not that Invision and the Ziegfrieds don't, they just do it personally), and like Scuba said, I imagine religious institutions have their own set of rules and punishments as well. Not to mention the Wolfgang and the rest of the criminal gangs using their power whenever they can. So despite it being a Free City, it doesn't mean anyone can go around doing anything they want with no consequences.

Except Jensen has been born and raised in Eubric, and has never done a single crime in his life - if drinking in public is not counted. Why would Pretzel want to murder him? Which you have yet to run through by me.

The heroes deal massive damage to their opponents, and one of them, the Panther Head, is slain. Tarn steals plenty of gold, and Lee heals and buffs himself with Chakra.

Moon Elves all have "fleshie" skin color, as do some of the other elves in my quests, but there are yellow and brown skinned elves as well. Please don't feel restricted by Tolkien or any other reference material when creating stuff for this game.

We can expand it to that, if it's the most logical solution to you guys.

Ellaria nods to the resistance members, giving Benedict Garrie an encouraging smile. "Rest assured that we will find a solution that is in the best interest of the citizens of R'kilf. We only want peace for this town." She then followed Boomingham into the night. "Fancy meeting you back there, Lawrence and Alexander. What goes around comes around, eh? Why don't we try that Inn marked on the map to find ourselves some respite. Who knows, maybe Nerwen, Arthur and Ahvialyn are there. Oh, and that brutish dwarf as well." Ellaria directs the two men towards the Inn.

"Doctor Parathelthior wath none other than the vounder ov our guild, and one of the virtht people to rethearch alchemy in the Vree Ithlandth. Hith perthonal noteth were hidden in the archiveth ov our guildhouthe, but I... dithcovered them and began to continue hith vork in thith dungeon. Thpeaking ov which, the imprithoned wererat you apparently killed wath the previouth inhabitant ov thith abandoned cellar. I did not have the heart to kill him, thince I'm altho interethted in rethearching werepeople, but I guethth I have to vind another tetht thubject vor that purpothe ath vell." Jensen returned just in time to hear the doctor's words. "Give me a break! Do you really think the whole world and all the people in the world are yours to dissect and experiment on?" "Hmmph! I uthually athk permiththion virtht bevore diththecting anybody!" "Whatever... The wagon's all loaded up with the missing bodies - or what's left of them. We should head back to the graveyard now, so bid this lunatic and his dimwitted assistant your goodbyes." "Goodbye, my vriendth! I theriouthly owe you one!" "Byyyeeehhh!" The dawn was breaking when they got back to the graveyard. At the church's backdoor, the party explains everything to Father McCreary. "So the alchemists were behind this? Color me surprised... I suspected necromancers, and gods know those two professions hate each other's guts. But you did a good job in recovering the missing bodies, although save for Dame Frimelda, it is impossible to discern who they belong to after the treatment they got." "And now I have to get back to work and bury all of them - again. I'll have to take a rain check on that visit to the Merry Mermaid, lads - unless you of course want to help me with the shovelling." The heroes politely decline, and make a hasty exit from the graveyard. New adventures wait for them, and all of them hope they would be a little less gruesome the next time around.

"I think we should regroup with the others to find out what they have learned, before making any decisions. So far I've personally only learned one side of the story, and although the resistance seems to be siding with Sir Isaac, I'm not convinced his plan is in the best interest of the town." Ellaria looks at Shawe and the resistance members. "Our only problem now is whether these people are willing to let us go..."

Fabian also has facial hair, but I don't think he's a pure-blooded elf anyway. As for Arasmyth, he must have a dwarven ancestor to grow that long, bushy beard.

Are there enemies that do that? But if there are, then yes. Free Hits work differently, when several enemies attack a hero all at once. The hero can only defend once, whereas with two consecutive hits, the hero can defend from both. 10 in total. Like I just said, the SP is reduced from both hits.

Ellaria's eyes widen as she listens to Shawe's plans. Again she turns to the other resistance members. "You are okay with this? Doesn't assassinations and sieges sound a bit too much for honest farmers and artisans like yourselves? I was raised in a village even smaller than this one here, so I know what it is to lead a simple life with none of the worries of the big world. Would you rather return to that sort of life, or become underlings to one of the great houses of Eubric? I am asking you in all sincerity, what do you want? We cannot help you unless we know what you really think about this all." To Isaac Shawe Ellaria gives a suspicious look. "It sounds an awful lot like you're trying to form a kingdom of your own right outside Eubric. I wonder what the other houses would have to say about that. They are all only a day's ride away."

I ran into yet another new situation during rolling battle results, when a dual strike weapon was used against an enemy who has SP. Naturally, since it's two separate hits, the SP would have to be reduced from both of them. I updated the FAQ accordingly: Q: How do weapons with a "dual strike" effect work, exactly? And can a shield be carried with "twin weapons"? A: "Dual strike" deals damage to either the targetted enemy and the enemy next in the order OR two hits to one enemy upon a successful roll. Note that an enemy's defense reduces the damage from both hits. A shield can be wielded with any weapon that doesn't specifically negate its use.

Thalion's scroll-casting fails, but Tesni's minimizing dust works wonders on the Panther Head. Unfortunately Tarn fails to kill him, but he does ravage all enemies, gaining a hefty amount of gold. Then the Great Blade lifts up his great blade and splits all heroes's healths in half. Otherwise both sides take and deliver small hits. There are still ten enemies remaining.

Ellaria pouts her lips. "It is true that Eubric has gone from crazy to even crazier during the two years I've lived there, but if Eubric falls to the hands of the Wolfgang, isn't R'kilf and all of the Free Islands a little too close for comfort for the Shadeaux? I've learned that once your employer, Count Shadeaux, was sent into exile from his homeland of Charis, so fleeing to start over again would probably not be such a big deal for him. But if I were in his position, I would flee as far as I can, not to the next town down the road." Ellaria turns to the other members of the resistance in the room to address them. "I want to know how you all feel about this? Are you aboard on Sir Isaac's plan, or how would you rather see the future of your town?"

"Vell, thombieth do not die ov thicknethth or old age, that'th vor thure. I am convident I wath able to thtop the deteorating prothethth ath vell, but thinthe you vent and kill all my thpethimen, I cannot be one hundred perthent thure." The doctor glances nervously at Jensen. "But I vill do ath you vith, and vill not thteal anymore corptheth vrom the graveyard. I vill vind another vay to continue my thtudieth. Thank you vor your underthanding, and iv you ever need alchemithtic thervitheth, jutht contact me, Doctor Alphonthe Cula." The zombie boy takes out little cards from the pocket of his jacket. The cards have the name of the doctor and the address of the alchemists' guildhouse written on them. "Taaakeee buuusshineeessh caaarrddssshh." The three heroes feel that their reputation with the Guild of Invision has increased. Jensen still does not look pleased, though. "Now that you're all buddy-buddy with the perpetrator, would anyone care to help me deliver these corpses back to the graveyard? Dr. Cula, you have a horse and a cart upstairs. You won't mind that we borrow them." "No, not at all! Be my guethtth!" "That was not a question. Alright boys, time to get our hands dirty!" Jensen grabs the body of Dame Frimelda and starts to drag it out of the room. What will the heroes do? QM Note: This is your last chance to tie up any loose ends for this quest. Next up is the conclusion!

My plans are constantly evolving, but the direction of the story is still the same as in the beginning. Patricia, Baba, the Pandemonicon, and all the other stuff that has been added to it on the way have only spiced it up and made it better. And just so you know, there's still quests that I planned two years ago that haven't seen the daylight yet.
