Sandy

QM Note: Rumble Strike, please bold the final selection of party members when you've decided it.

OoC: Sorry, there's just so much going on that it's hard to keep track of everything. Hope you understand, Brickdoctor. Poor naïve Ellaria... Ellaria pouted her lips. "Well, this was the first time I've heard about any resistance - how was I supposed to know it was against the elves? Perhaps you should go with Mr. Regulus, Ahvialyn. Let us not stir the pot any more, and if the Magic Shop is really run by a monster, Mr. Regulus might need a hand in there." As Ahvialyn left them, Ellaria turned back to Benedict. "So you know where this resistance hides, then. Could you maybe arrange a meeting with your commander, so we could perhaps find an agreement to this mess. You and I both must agree that this status quo cannot go on for much longer, or else R'kilf will be doomed for certain. If you fear of assassins or spies or some other nonsense like that, I can come with you alone, blindfolded. In the name of my goddess, the Lady of the Forests, I swear I wish you no harm." Ellaria gives her most charming smile to the young man.

Ellaria looks confused, but then gets mildly irritated. It's as if nobody in this town even wants to do anything about the sad situation! "Don't be absurd, Mr. Garrie. Do I look or act like a spy to you? I believe I have been very upfront about my intentions. And might I remind you that 'your ranks' are all gone because of the Pongcanae? If you don't want to help us restore order here, I advice you to leave this town behind and go find your fortune elsewhere. The gold I gave you should be enough for a ride to Eubric. But I honestly hope you stay and help out. I fear we will need every capable warrior on our side when the push comes to shove, Sylvania forbid." Ellaria looks at her elven companion. "Have you any idea what this man is talking about, Ahvialyn? Spies, really?!"

"I already DIED a honorable death in combat. Now I've been woken up as a rotting CORPSE! How am I supposed to continue living from HERE?" The zombie paladin tosses the vampiric doctor aside with brutal strength and approaches the heroes in wobbly steps. "It is best you end my SUFFERING here and now. Draw your weapons and restore my DIGNITY by facing me in a DUEL!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Everyone, post your actions.

Ellaria shakes her head. "Actually, we were hired by the elves of Brobric. My companion Ahvialyn here can assure you of their noble intentions. Please, come with us. I'm sure we can find you something to eat and a proper set of clothes."

With the help of Tarn and Tesni, Atramor deduces that the words on the tiles correspond to the monickers that the 108 Stars used. Together they weed out the remaining eight that they have yet to face and defeat in battle. As the tiles are placed on the grid around the central tile, the whole platform starts to shake and slowly ascend towards the shadowed ceiling of the cave as a small geysir rises from the pool beneath the grid. "I think that's our ride to where the rest of the bandits are hiding. Jump on board, everyone!" But they are met with a devastating obstacle: the platform can only fit nine passengers. Nagure would take the spot of three people, but he could carry two on his strong arms. Which nine party members will climb onto the rising platform?

QM Note: You solved the puzzle, alright, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get everything prepared for you to move on. Tomorrow, then... "Our reports said that the Stars have been hiding in this cave for months. They could have easily carved those tiles during that time." "But what about all the reports about pillaging and murder? Certainly they killed all the Tao Warriors in the Pagoda, if nothing else. Since my banishment I've not been a friend of the government in Xu, but I can't imagine anyone be so foolish to try to bring down the Council. The Aoi have been in power for thousands of years, and all the progress and technology we have in this land is thanks to them. What would the Stars hope to accomplish by resisting the Aoi?"

Ellaria rolls her eyes as he sees Arthur dash into the Magic Shop before her and Ahvialyn, but speaks to the beggar some more, intrigued by his story. "So, you're a warrior then, Mr. Garrie? I'm sorry to hear about your squad. Me and my friends have been hired to restore peace and balance to this town, so would you maybe be interested in joining our efforts? We may be able to avenge your brothers-in-arms in the process."

"LOOK at me! This is no a new LIFE this wretched creature of darkness has given me, this is UNDEATH! Why couldn't he just let me REST in peace?!" "*gurgle* I... did it... in the name... *gurgle* ...ov thienthe! *gurgle*"

Ellaria drops two gold into the beggar's pot, and gives the man a smile. "May Sylvania bless you, good fellow. Might I inquire, what got you into this state?" Ellaria nods to Arthur. "Yes, that sounds good. Just a moment, please." She then turns her attention back to the beggar.

The vampire doctor shakes his head ferociously. "*gurgle* No! Don't kill her! *gurgle*" "Doocttooor..."

QM Note: I added the Mythril Shard Sarge gained from the Lottery to his inventory. "Back to LIFE? I am an ABOMINATION! This cannot be ENNOC's will!" "Is that a THREAT?! Go ahead, SLAY me and release from this CURSE!" "*gurgle* No, p-pleathe! *gurgle* Don't let my ekthperimentth go to vathte! *gurgle*" Heckz tries to look around for anything usable, but the room is too cluttered with various bottles, books, papers and surgery equipment to make any sense of it all. "Why? He did THIS to me. He deserves to be PUNISHED!" Jensen grabs his rusty shovel with both hands. "Well? Shall we put her down?" Party: Sgt Jon.

The heroes snap back from their battle frenzy as they hear the zombie boy scream. Turning their attention back to the vampire doctor, they see him being strangled by the zombie paladin he revived. "What have you DONE to me?!" "*gurgle*Th-thorry!*gurgle*" "Ssttooop, laadeeeh! Dooon't kiill hiiim - aggeeenn!"

Very creative! I especially love the use of the tool-pieces on the door and the shutter, I just have to copy that into my Heroica RPG MOCs sometime. All this lovely little house now needs is an old crone to live in it.

I have to agree, the color palette really makes this MOC rock. Gotta love the variation to color TLG has given us over the last few years (dark tan, dark green, olive green), this creation really wouldn't be able to reach the same level of authenticity with just tan, green, gold, brown and the greys. That isn't to say that the techniques used for the building and landscaping aren't superb as well. Beautifully done!

The heroes split up to explore the three tunnels. When they returned, they did not bring back a battle with them, but 107 tiles similar to that already on the grid, as well as a docile nian, presumably the same that went missing from Baokun. Lee investigates the tiles. "Some of these sound familiar, don't they?" he asked before reading the words engraved on the tiles.

OoC: By all means, do it as you wish. Don't expect for me to remember to remind you, though.

I like the style of this class, but the cleansing/dispel abilities are too weak and cost too much in comparison to Nurture for Druids, which both heals and removes all effects at the cost of 1 ether. I think it's too complex for the dispel to have three levels of effect, it should be restricted to just Dispel/No Dispel. That skill should obviously be called Yarr! Don't you know your pirate lingo?

Excited hubbub fills the Hall as the Veterans step out on the balcony again, accompanied by the wizard in a pink hat. "Alright, that seems to be all the tickets we're getting. Miss Valentine Ziegfried has agreed to be our Lady Luck this year as well and draw the winning tickets." "Keep those fingers crossed, everybody, because here we go again!"

"Yes. It is written in Xuish letters. It says 'Protector of Justice'. C-can I go now, please?" Lee walks to the others. "I could have told you the same thing. I was born and raised in this land, did you forget?"

Benji goes to fetch for their werepanther guide. "A-are you sure it is safe in here?" the boy whimpers as they walk back through the waterfall together.
