No, "Spellspin" is literally a spell, so it's long-ranged by default. Cinna just caused 1630 damage, that doesn't seem unfair to anyone? But as far as "War Cry" goes, I'm thinking of making it cause damage to all enemies in the case that all allies are already encouraged. So it would be "Frenzy" with a twist.

QM Note: Please be more specific. You can see everything there is to see in the room from this picture:

~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#54 by Waterbrick Down)!~ After a sleepless night, Ellaria came back to the Hall yawning, hoping to find another quest offer. She needed to find another place to live in, but with her current income she couldn't afford anything outside the Hovels. Seeing the odd request for retrieving a missing piece of cloth, Ellaria shrugged. It seemed like a simple enough task... Without thinking it further, she signed up for Quest #54.

Okay, so it seemsto me that the Mystic Knight's shield-skill is currently too powerful, while the Berserker's shield-skill is too weak. Do you agree with me? Should I modify them?

They can also move upstairs or return to the Entrance Hall. 12/108 Stars Defeated!

Everyone, post your actions and targets. QM Note: Just to be clear, if a hero is knocked out when the party levels up (ie. when the amount of enemies defeated can be divided by six), they will miss the gained experience. So there's no individual tally, that would be too complicated for me.

~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#53 by Zepher)!~

QM Note: Yes, if you specifically say so.

Namyrra jolts as she grabs the Pheles Rod, and the voice of the archdemon she recently fought booms inside her head. "AH, ACCUSTOMED TO SUMMON THE DEMONKIND, ARE YOU? TRY SUMMONING ME NEXT TIME, AND I'LL LAY WASTE OF ALL YOU ENEMIES. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW, THE PANDEMONICON IS THE KEY..." Not sure if it was just her imagination running wild, Namyrra shakes off the disturbing feeling and continues the fight. Results of Round Eight of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: Xut (Darkness) hits Cave Dragon - (Cave Dragon: 646 health-(22x2=44 dmg)=602 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) >Namyrra (Darkness through Pheles Rod) vs. Iron Whistle - Shield/Spell (Summon Burst - Cave Dragon: 602 health-(22x2=44 dmg)=558 health; Iron Whistle: 293 health+6 SP-(22x2=44 dmg)=255 health; Smiling Tiger: 293 health-(22x2=44 dmg)=249 health; Xut the Daemon leaves the battle) >Namyrra (Darkness through Staff of the Necromancer) vs. Smiling Tiger - Spell/Special Damage (Smiling Tiger: 249 health-(34x4=136 dmg)=113 health; Namyrra: -1 ether, aura removed) >Hybros uses Health Core on himself - (Hybros: full health restored) >Hybros (Clock Cog) vs. Iron Whistle - Damage/Lethal Hit (Iron Whistle: 255 health+6 SP-(36x2=72 dmg)=189 health) Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Shield (War Cry - All party members: encouraged) Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Shield (War Cry - All party members: encouraged) >Cinna (Darkness) vs. Smiling Tiger - Enchantment (Cinna: Mauryl +1 WP, -10 ether) >Cinna (Darkness) vs. Smiling Tiger - Spell (Smiling Tiger: 113 health-(41x4=164 dmg)=0 health) Tarn vs. Smiling Tiger Cave Dragon - Extra Critical Furious Hit (Cave Dragon: 558 health-(57x2=114 dmg)=444 health+stunned) Christopher heals himself - No Healing Xut deals heavy darkness-elemental damage to all enemies before it bursts away. Namyrra switches the demonic staff to that of the late Sycamore Ziegfried, and casts a mighty spell on the Smiling Tiger. Hybros heals himself and then throws his clock cog at the Iron Whistle. Tesni falls into a total battle frenzy and just lets out terrible war cries for quite a while. Cinna enchants her weapon once more, and then blasts the Smiling Tiger into oblivion with a spell. Cinna gets a Mead and a Star Coin! Tarn finally hits something, although it is not his intended target, who just died. Instead, he deals heavy damage to the Cave Dragon, stunning him even. Christopher fails to heal himself again. 10/108 Stars Defeated!

Ellaria looks at the strange dwarf intently. "Thank you for this insight. There are so many cultures and beliefs in this world that I know nothing about... So your goddess was once a living creature, raised as an object of worship? I've heard stories similar to that about my goddess, Sylvania. Some say she is the almighty Queen of Fairies, residing somewher beyond our realm in the Faerie. But I don't know if that is true. I would probably have to find a way into the Faerie before I could find it out. No, I still have enough faith in my goddess so that no minstrel's tales sway me. Anyway, it was nice chatting with you, Stigveladi. It has been a long day for me, and I must retire." The druid got up and gave the dwarf a courteous smile before departing. Returning to the emptiness of her room above the apotechary frightened her, but she knew that she would have to go there sooner or later. One must face her inner demons if she wishes to beat them...

Yay, I'm back! It'll take me a while to get back on track with everything, so bear with me, please... Well, you already bought it, but yes, the multipliers are damage x 2 (from the cowl) x 2 (from wind) x 2 (from ice) = damage x 8 (in total).

"Don't worry, be happy!" "Just whistle while you kill! *whistles* " "Focus, you two!" Results of Round Seven of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: >Hybros (Ancient Throwing Dagger) vs. Iron Whistle - Damage/Damage (Hybros: 34 health-(28/2x2=28 dmg)=6 health) >Hybros uses Remedy on Tesni - (Tesni: petrified removed) >Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Furious Hit (Cave Dragon: 1110 health-(44x4=176 dmg)=934 health) >Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Extra Critical Furious Hit (Cave Dragon: 934 health-(72x4=288 dmg)=646 health) >Cinna uses Grand Tonic on herself - (Cinna: +15 ether) >Cinna (Fire) vs. Dry Land Alligator - Special Damage (See You Later! - Alligator: flee) >Tarn vs. Smiling Tiger - Special Damage (Just Smile! - All enemies: encouraged) >Christopher heals himself - No Healing >Namyrra (Darkness through Pheles Rod) vs. Iron Whistle - Spell/Damage (Iron Whistle: 455 health+6 SP-(42x4=168 dmg)=293 health; Namyrra: -1 ether, aura) >Namyrra (Darkness through Pheles Rod) vs. Smiling Tiger - Special Damage/Shield (Summon - Xut the Daemon joins the battle) The Iron Whistle greatly damages Hybros, who decides to take a break from murdering and use a remedy to cure the petrified Tesni. The recovered berserker immediately returns to attacking the Cave Dragon, causing a total of 464 with her two strikes. Cinna restores some ether to herself, and then attempts to cast a spell on the Dry Land Alligator. But before she can do that, the beast waves its hand as if to say "See you later!" and runs up the stairs to rejoin the battle at a later stage. The Smiling Tiger grins again, replenishing the enemies' encouraged statuses. Christopher tries to heal himself, but to no avail. Namyrra blasts the Iron Whistle with a dark spell that causes 162 damage, and then summons Xut the Daemon to join the battle. Three enemies are currently left in the battle against six standing heroes and a summoned spirit. 9/108 Stars Defeated!

Scroll of Frailty has 1/2 chance to cause the fragile-effect (which makes the enemy receive double damage from attacks for 3 rounds), while the Scroll of Weakening has 1/2 chance to cause the weakened-effect (which halves the enemy's level for 3 rounds). Both cost 1 ether to use, if I recall correctly. You can always sell the scrolls for 25 gold each.

Elphaba has left the Marketplace, to return in the spring. I will be leaving to the aforementioned wedding for the weekend tomorrow straight from work, so after today you won't get updates from me until Sunday.

Portia couldn't help herself when she saw Elphaba lifting her wares into her wagon, but walked over to the witch to gloat. "Leaving so soon?" Portia remarked. "As a matter of fact, yes. There are many other cities waiting for my arrival. A rolling stone gathers no moss." Taking this as an insult, Portia got all flustered. "Speaking of mossy, have you checked yourself in the mirror lately? Why do you even come here twice a year, Elphaba? There's plenty of magic shops in Eubric already." "I have made a pact with Heroica, the same as you. I'm obligated by the benevolence that the champions have shown towards me. What is your reason for staying here, from year to year, Portia?" The green-skinned witch smirked at the potion seller. "I... I have a job here, and a home. I... like it here." Portia knew she was lying both to Elphaba and herself. But admitting she was jealous of the witch was the last thing she would do! "Yes, this is a lovely city - if you ignore all the crime and poverty around here. But have you seen the golden domes of Salmanda? The soaring dragons of Drakencourt? The white walls of Strivvi? The great tower of Miranda? Have you travelled to the far ends of the world and back? If you want to, I can take you with me someday." Shocked of the witch's offer, Portia took a few steps back. There was no chance in Portia's mind that Elphaba was being genuine. "Don't mock me, witch!" Watching the potion merchant march back to her stall, Elphaba shrugged and finished loading her wares. Then she rode out of the Marketplace for another half a year. ~Elphaba's Magic Wagon has left the Marketplace!~

I'd say stun applies to both the current round and the next round, but I don't know if I've always done it that way. You're correct. The strike that causes the fragile-effect does not deal double damage, but the following ones do. Ooh! Can I get a sneak peek?

"RAWWWRRR!" "I agree, Alligator. We must depose these intruders before they reach the upper levels." Results of Round Six of the 108 Stars of Destiny Battle: >Namyrra (Darkness through Pheles Rod) vs. Short-lived Second Brother - Spell Aim/Great Spell (Second Brother: 242 health-(62x4=248 dmg)=???; Namyrra: -1 ether, aura) >Namyrra (Darkness through Staff of the Necromancer) vs. Iron Whistle - Spell/Special Damage (Iron Whistle: 641 health+6 SP-(34x4=136 dmg)=511 health; Namyrra: -1 ether, aura removed) >Hybros (Banana Bladerang) vs. Iron Whistle - Damage/Lethal Hit (Alligator: 715 health-(31x2=62 dmg)=653 health; Cave Dragon: 1172 health-(31x2=62 dmg)=1110 health; Iron Whistle: 511 health+6 SP-(31x2=62 dmg)=455 health; Smiling Tiger: 355 health-(31x2=62 dmg)=293 health) >Hybros (Shuriken of Mercutio) vs. Dry Land Alligator - Lethal Aim/Special Damage (Alligator: 653 health-(5x2=10 dmg)=643 health) Jun vs. Smiling Tiger & Dry Land Alligator - Dual Damage (Jun: 39 health+5 SP-(26+18=44 dmg)=0 health) Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Shield (War Cry - All party members: encouraged) Tesni vs. Cave Dragon - Special Damage (Dragon's Claw - Tesni: petrified) >Cinna (Fire) vs. Dry Land Alligator - Enchantment (Cinna: Mauryl +1 WP, -10 ether) >Cinna (Fire) vs. Dry Land Alligator - Great Spell (Alligator: 643 health-(57x4=228 dmg)=415 health; Cinna: -1 ether) Tarn vs. Smiling Tiger - Special Damage (Just Smile! - All enemies: encouraged) Christopher vs. Smiling Tiger - Defended Damage (Christopher: 33 health+9 SP-(18x2=36 dmg)=6 health) Namyrra deals heavy damage to the Second Brother with her dark-spell, but again the bandit vanishes without a trace before his body hits the ground. Then Namyrra turns her spell to the Iron Whistle, dealing 130 damage to her. Hybros' bladerang rips through the enemy line, dealing 62 damage to all enemies except 56 damage to the Iron Whistle. He fails to assassinate anyone this time around. He throws a shuriken at the Alligator, but only does 10 damage. Jun is knocked out by the joined attack of the Smiling Tiger and the Alligator. Tesni lets out a war cry that replenishes the time of effect for the encouragement on all allies, but the Cave Dragon immediately shuts her up by petrifying her with his weapon, the Dragon's Claw. Cinna enchants Mauryl again, and follows with a great fiery spell that causes 228 damage to the Alligator. The Smiling Tiger then smiles encouragingly to his allies, and strikes Christopher for 27 damage. Four enemies are currently left in the battle against five active heroes. 9/108 Stars Defeated!

Everyone, post your actions and targets. QM Note: Apparently the warm-up is now over.

It's been a general consensus that effects are applied immediately, with the exception of Sentinel/Guardian Angel.

Not far-fetched, just surprising. Funny how nobody even commented on her appearance in-quest... Or is the bigfoot race common in Miranda?

Are those her feet?

QM Note: No, that's not how it works. You can switch weapons for an attack without spending a separate turn, but you can't switch them twice in a turn. So if you use the Pheles Rod on both of your turns, you will have it equipped for the rest of the round, and up until your turn comes on the next round. But if you use Pheles Rod first, then switch to the Necromancer's Staff on the second turn, the aura will fade. This is probably FAQ material.

So, does anyone want to tackle the option of hosting a quest in December? Or will we have to wait until 2013 before new quests emerge? Please remember that not all quests need to be part of an epic trilogy or something like that. The players loitering in the Hall would be satisfied with just whacking some enemies or searching for lost treasure/relatives/pets, etc. Your quest can also be about exploring an unknown land, or visiting a distant city. Remember that outside of the Free Islands, you are free to envision any land to your liking.
