Please do. The Mr. Good & Evils are still up for grabs.

QM Note: I seem to have forgotten to add the health gained from the blessed-effect. The past rounds have been updated due to that now. Results of Round Seventy-Five of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: Hybros investigates the statue Hybros does nothing Jun moves to the Carp Pond Tarn moves to the Iron Gate Room Tesni moves to the Kitchens Namyrra moves to the Iron Gate Room Xut moves to the Iron Gate Room Cinna moves to the Kitchens Restrained moves to the Carp Pond Unrestrained moves to the Iron Gate Room Namyrra - Blessed (Namyrra: +3 health) Tarn - Blessed (Tarn: +3 health) Tesni - Blessed (Tesni: +3 health) Cinna - Blessed (Cinna: +3 health) As Tarn and the women move upstairs with the Unrestrained and Jun downstairs with the Restrained, Hybros waits for them to be reunited at the Stone Garden. His eyes are fixed on the stone statue at the center of the room. It is really skillfully carved, so detailed that it could very well spring to life at any moment. The imp approaches the statue and stares up at it. Something compels him to extend a finger and poke it. Suddenly a face forms into the statue's head, and two blazing eyes open, fixing onto the imp. Hybros doubles back as the statue stretches its rocky limbs and steps down from the pedestal it stood on. "Indomitable earth... Unshattering rock... Ageless memory of the stones... How can you... even imagine... defeating something... such as I?" With a gulp, Hybros raises his weapons against the mighty Stone General. 46/108 Stars Defeated!

"I will buy it from you for 15 gold, if that is suitable to you." OoC: I won't be putting it up for sale, though, since there's already an item called a Helmet and a headgear with the same effect.

QM Note: Haha, you're right, I'm sorry. My mistake, I guess I got confused because you've met these enemies before. I'll edit the Free Hits out.

I thought logical deduction was something we were supposed to be doing, or was I wrong? No, I have no evidence on anything yet, but the discussion about the numbers ended up being quite fruitful. Granted, people have acted pretty much the way I (as the Cruise Director who has done background checks on everyone in a totally non-stalkery way) thought they would, with certain people aggressively pushing others, while others making silly mistakes and getting their behinds served to them because of that. Voting someone off because they forgot their number or name does not hold much water, but we have to start scouring for the truth somewhere. Based on some of his reactions to the accusations, I'm going to Vote: Jordan (Tamamono).

You can hardly blame a girl for being cautious in a game like this. It's not like I was being uncooperative, I even told you the theme of the set related to my Crew Number (which is 3648, by the way).

Sorry I did not say that earlier. ( ) Unfortunately this brings us back to square one. Although something might be deduced from the reactions that these numbers inspired... Some people seemed very eager to justify a lynch based on the number, Michael and Richard for instance. I know we don't have much to go on with, but there's no need to be evil like that. As others has pointed out, a smart scum has lied about their number after viewing this discussion, making their number represent the theme with the most answers (and thus making the odds-one-out stand out even more). So I'm looking at the people who claimed their number was a city-set rather late in the discussion, such as Michael, Jordan and Paul.

You are absolutely correct.

I also have a crew number, but I'm a paranoid gal, so I think I'll keep it to myself for the time being. It's a City-set, anyway. So, the preparations for Furry Night are almost complete! Everyone's free to join us at Cabin 6969.

I'll take the bomb revision into consideration. Having them pierce SP is a good suggestion, anyway.

Yes, Fabuland month! Hands up, how many of you are furry fetishists? Anyone? ... Damn. Oh, there's one! Good, good... The plans for tonight are progressing nicely. And another! The more the merrier.

Absolutely beautiful, and chock-full of great details! Congrats on your hard work. The house somewhat reminds me of the old Victorian Playmobil dollhouse - not the least because of the way you've made it open up like a dollhouse.

The minifigures (especially Red and Tonto) are to die for. Luckily I can just buy them, sparing my life.

The women use their remedies to get rid of the poisoning, but Tarn and Christopher have no such amenities. The valiant but silent paladin staggers backwards as a wave of nausea hits him. "Urgh!" Unfortunately he ends up leaning on a trapdoor in the wall. The wall turns, tossing him out of the pagoda. The shocked party can only watch him disappear, and hope that he is alright. They will have to keep climbing the tower without Sir Christopher now... Upstairs at the Hot Baths, Jun finds a solitary woman scrubbing the spilled blood from the tubs. The Restrained gives Jun a hard glance. "I remember you, aoi. You used to come visit the village where I lived with your friends. You were a rowdy bunch. They are all dead now, you know?" "I know.

Tarn then goes and opens the third valve. This causes great pressure into the pipes, leading to an explosion. The whole party at the pipe room are showered with the mixed water, causing them all to become both blessed and badly poisoned. The pipes are damaged beyond repair, so even though Namyrra closes the left valve, the water does not run up any longer. Upstairs, Hybros remedies himself, but when he turns to the fountain, he sees that the flow of water has ceased. "Something has gone wrong, it seems." 46/108 Stars Defeated!

"Oh, greetings! Yes, it was Grogmas Time a month or so ago. It is not really something many people celebrate, since it is originally an orcish festival. But I thought the Veterans explained it all to you already. Grog the Red was an orcish tribal chieftain who once a year gave away gifts from his great horde of treasure to all members of his tribe, as well as to other tribal leaders he wished to keep good relations with. But few knew it was him until one fatal night he was murdered by a greedy rival. After the truth was revealed, a great feud erupted, but the spirit of Grog's generosity lived on to this very day in the form of Grogmas celebrations." "Hmm, what comes to your scroll, you can of course use it on anyone you choose, even yourself. Scrolls have been used since ancient times by mages and their ilk. Any person connected to the ether flowing all around us can incantate the powerful spells written on the scrolls and cause various effects on the desired target with the use of ether. A scroll such as yours are usually sold for a 100 gold."

No need to panic, people! I'm Stacy, your Cruise Director, and I'm here to make sure you forget all about these recent happenings. So free booze for everyone, yay!

"You've got yourself a deal, Miss Assassin! I'll take those two items and give a total of 30 gold to you for them." OoC: I won't be putting the necklace up for sale, since it's essentially the same item as the Heart Locket.

Yeah, when you go far enough east you'll come around from the west. Duh, the fate of Eubric and Heroica, of course.

QM Note: Haha, it figures that your idea of imps was opposite to mine. I wouldn't have thought Hybros' kind to be forest-dwellers, after all...

Beats me. As I said, it was just a name that Chromeknight threw into the discussion waaay back when. I think it had something to do with Nagas (whose homeland I've named Nagashan). Sorry, but that would only completely nullify the purpose of the reputation system. It's all about choices, people! And as I've said, the house reputation will have a meaning beyond the expert classes. We just have to get to the climax of the main story, first. But obviously there's still some problems with acquiring the reputation one wants. QMs, if you think your quest could include a chance for the players to gain reputation from some of the main houses, feel free to contact me about it.
