~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#67 by Capt.JohnPaul)!~

Tomorrow. After I get some sleep and come home from work and take some more pictures and compile all of your stats. So yeah, about 24 hours from now. Sorry.

Vincent Legonardo's head drops. "I feared as much. Young Master Jun is a resilient warrior. He might have recovered on his own and continued the fight by himself. He is in the care of his forefathers now. I just don't know what I will say to his mother..." It took them another week to get back to Eubric. It was no surprise that Shanxian Ji Pei was heartbroken upon hearing the news of her son. "Jun, my only child... If only he hadn't chosen the path of his father and become a warrior, he would still be here with me." Shanxian's lament soon turned to rage. It looked like Jun hadn't inherited all of his temperament from his father, after all. "But by the names of every Aoi that has ever lived and ever will, I will rain revenge upon the bandits that took away my son! Vincent, prepare your automatons! I want the latest models with me when I fly to Hoshin to avenge my son! I will tear down the entire Pagoda of Nine Elements stone by stone if I have to until I've found every single one of those bandits. No one crosses the Ji Pei!" The heroes see it best to leave the palace quietly to recover from their ordeal. THE QUEST HAS FAILED! ... Meanwhile, somewhere in the Hoshin region... "Jun, get up!" "Xiaolin! Master Kai Tsi! I thought you were both dead!"

I have to apologize for the length, I did not anticipate it would be drawn out that much. It was the sum of many factors, which we can analyze later. At least it gave me important information about what works in the context of this game and what doesn't. Sorry you guys had to become my lab rats.

"Oh right, I am strong enough to equip a third artifact now", Ellaria notes. She then dons the Spirit Robe and attempts to get some rest to recover her ether.

Actually, yes. I don't think I will do a continuous battle again for it, though... Quest #50 was just getting to the meat of the story, and I'm not willing to throw that away. Just wait for the "conclusion" of Q#50 to see what I'm talking about...

Ellaria walks up to John. "Have you any idea what our options are? Are we to stay here and fight off wave after wave of the mad wizard's minions or what?" Ellaria feels at lost about what to do. She fears for the young alchemists, the burden of responsibility weighing heavily on her shoulders... She thinks that maybe this quest was too much for her, so soon after losing her child. These young people had parents too, and their friends at the Guild. How could she ever return to Eubric if they died under her protection?

QM Note: I wish you guys would have said something sooner. It's just sad to end it like this... Results of Round Two Hundred and Thirty-Five of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: >Cinna vs. Fiery-eyed Lion - Critical Hit (Lion: 770 health-(64x2=128 dmg)=642 health) Tesni vs. Ten Feet of Blue - Defended Counter (Tesni: 48 health+12 SP-32 dmg=28 health; Blue: 354 health-(56x8=448 dmg)=0 health) Double Spears+Faceless - Free Hit vs. Cinna (Cinna: 10 health+10 SP-(45+33=78 dmg)=0 health) Double Spears+Touching the Sky - Free Hit vs. Tesni (Tesni: 28 health+12 SP-(45+29=74 dmg)=0 health) Double Spears - Blessed (+3 health) Fiery-eyed Lion - Blessed (+3 health) Ten Feet of Blue - Blessed (+3 health) Touching the Sky - Blessed (+3 health) Cinna and Tesni fight the best they can, and they even manage to take out the Ten Feet of Blue. Tesni gets a Remedy and a Star Coin! Ultimately both women fall before the overwhelming power, and darkness consumes them... THE CONTINUOUS BATTLE HAS FAILED! 73/108 Stars Defeated! ... Bright sunlight and a loud noise wakes up Hybros. The last the imp remembers is the white mountain of fur approaching him with two mighty spears and piercing his small body. He opens his eyes to see the sun and pure white clouds above him. Then a face appears. "Wakey wakey, Signore Hybros! Don't worry, your friends are all with us here." Hybros gets up to see that he is once again aboard the Destiny's Bounty. Cinna and Namyrra are talking quietly, Tarn is pouring Tesni a drink, and even Sir Christopher is there, sulking away in a corner. The cabin's door opens and Vincent Legonardo steps out to the deck. "Ah, I told Monalisa that fresh air is all you required to come to your senses, Hybros. Your wounds were great, but I know a bit about the magic that binds you Heroica warriors. I don't know how long it could have protected you if we hadn't been there to pull you out. It was quite a havoc you caused at the pagoda. The remaining bandits were in such a disarray that it was no problem to fetch your bodies. But please tell me, what ever happened to Young Master Jun?" Hybros looked around, and did not see the blue-faced warrior among his companions.

Everyone, post your actions and targets.

Ah, now I get it! This is a topic made so that Hinckley can smash his face on the wall...

OoC: Yeah, Ellaria cannot damage the enemies so she should not have attacked in the autoroll. When autorolling, the QM should be mindful of not making players do unsensible things. Aren't you glad you chose the game manager as one of your players now? Ellaria takes the loot from Atramor. "Thank you for the robe, Atters. It could prove helpful in the coming ordeals." She then checks if anyone's hurt. "It appears we were largely unscathed by that assault. We have no reason to assume Marc has given up, though."

Doesn't the fact that nobody should post here kinda beat the purpose of having a "discussion topic" in the first place?

I hope to be able to launch Quest#66 on Wednesday at the earliest. Sorry for the wait, but it'll be worth it - I promise!

You obviously don't understand the whole point of shipping. It has nothing to do with realism. The first option. When minimized, the total power (WP+Level+bonuses) is reduced to 10%. Any multipliers are then added to that number.

Ellaria tries weakening once more, this time aiming at Major Spirit B. From the back row, naturally.

It was really hard to make the choice, though, with that many spots. I apologize to those few I had to leave behind, there was nothing personal involved, just a matter of getting three balanced teams of three.

QM Note: I have a nasty surprise for you. Results of Round Two Hundred and Thirty-One of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: Jun moves downstairs to the Tea Room *SLIP!* Hybros uses Phoenix Essence on Tesni - (Tesni: revived with full health) Hybros moves downstairs to the Tea Room Tesni moves downstairs to the Tea Room Tarn moves downstairs to the Tea Room *SLIP!* Cinna moves downstairs to the Tea Room Namyrra moves downstairs to the Tea Room *SLIP!* Xut moves downstairs to the Tea Room does nothing Double Spears+Fiery-eyed Lion - Free Hit vs. Jun (Jun: 14 health+5 SP-(0+35=35 dmg)=0 health) Double Spears+Ten Feet of Blue - Free Hit vs. Tarn (Tarn: 34 health+15 SP-(0+32=32 dmg)=17 dmg) Faceless+Touching the Sky - Free Hit vs. Namyrra (Namyrra: 25 health+10 dmg-(33+29=62 dmg)=0 health) Double Spears - Blessed (+3 health) Fiery-eyed Lion - Blessed (+3 health) Ten Feet of Blue - Blessed (+3 health) Touching the Sky - Blessed (+3 health) Hybros revives Tesni and leads the others downstairs to the Tea Room where it would be less slippery, but ironically Jun, Tarn and Namyrra slip before making it to the stairs, and are left on the mercy of the enemies. Xut remains behind as well, not being able to leave its summoner behind. Unfortunately, none of the enemies slip, but take out Jun and Namyrra. Xut disappears too.

Phew! That was some heavy-duty-update to the first post of the Heroica Hall topic I just did! Everything should be in order for the time being.

You two are a tremendous help to me, I couldn't have kept hosting the Fields if you hadn't come to my aid.

So please hang tight!

OoC: Scrolls cost ether no matter if they hit or not, so Ellaria should have 10 ether less. Also, weakened lasts for three complete rounds. Ellaria continues to attempt to weaken the Spirit Leader with her scroll from the back row.

QM Note: K-Nut, Necromancers cannot equip daggers, so you need a new weapon. Masked Builder, you still need to keep the 50 Shades of Bley in your inventory for future's sake. Congrats on becoming the first people to change into expert jobs, though!
