There was no mention of anyone recognizing the bearded man, just noticing him.

Alright, since you asked for it, JimBee... It's about time I delve into these suggestions, anyway. I'm most curious about how you will explain the heroes suddenly sprouting wings. I take this job class is related to the Rito Clan, right? The choices for weapons and the job traits seem fine to me. The Shield-skill is good too, although it could use some rewording to make the effects clearer. The flying skill seems excellent, but in my opinion rolling 1, 5 or 6 on the next turn should negate it. The point of the skill is that the W.W. flies up and plummets down upon the enemy, right? So if on the next turn the enemy gets to attack the W.W., by all logic the warrior isn't flying anymore. Do you understand what I mean with this? I'm also confused about the lined-up shot. It seems out of place, especially since the class doesn't even specialize in ranged weapons. It's also very powerful for a fourth tier skill. Maybe "AIM" would suffice instead? That's about it. If you can answer these questions, we can start negotiating about getting the class to an approvable stage.

Did for example Count Shadeaux die when the trio of rogues defeated him with poison at the end of Quest #34? There's your answer.

QM Note: I believe the redefined description was "enemies less than half of the wearer's level will not target the wearer". We can always check that, though.

A Dryad lashes Xander with a briny vine, dealing 3 damage. Dyric mugs the Unicorn for 23 damage and 35 gold. Althior musters up a great icy spell and hurls it towards the other Dryad for 92 damage. The Creepers shirk away from Docken, who loses 10 health as a result of the poisoning. Eight enemies are still left.

I apologize, I mixed up you and Capt.JohnPaul, as Brickdoctor kindly pointed out.

Endgame, don't force it. You don't seem to have a clear idea for an expert class, so why do you want one as a reward so badly? Of course, if someone is willing to help you out with the brainstorming, then its another case completely... Bleh, a mix-up.

Great job with the game, TinyPies! The townies were a bit too happy lynching their own during the process of this game, but I'm glad they got their acts together in the end.

"Hmm, it is unlike anything else I have in stock... How about 30 gold for it?"

A Dryad tries to attack Docken, but only scratches his shield. Dyrickeeps a safe distance from the Unicorn and hits it for 13 damage, while Althior's dark spell deals 72 damage to another Dryad. The Black Adder takes 1 health from Xander, and the remaining Creepers gather to assault Docken, but are scared away by his hat. Eight enemies remain.

It's alright, Terra Chima is an actual location in Olegaia, populated by who else than the beastmen of "Legends of Chima". In my thoughts its a savage land of jungles and pampas, and the culture there is inspired by the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas. Sorry that I'm not making Byblos take Arthur into his studies of the Pandemonicon, but I'm thinking of a new plotline based on it and it wouldn't be fair for one player to be so heavily involved in it from the beginning. I also have to question how a 20 year old man seems to know everything about everything, but that's your choice as a player of Arthur, I guess.

A soldier wearing the Ji Pei emblem of a bundle of thunderbolts posted a list of accepted champions for the quest that would take them to the distant land of Xu. With the list there were instructions to arrive to the Ji Pei Palace on the next morning. CHOSEN PARTY FOR QUEST#50: 108 Stars of Destiny ~ Tesni Hightribe, Level 25 1/3 Berserker (Peppermint_M) ~ Tarn Valco, Level 17 Berserker (Rumble Strike) ~ Hybros, Level 21 Assassin (JimButcher) ***Party Leader*** ~ Cinna, Level 21 Mystic Knight (Darkdragon) ~ Namyrra Uq, Level 21 Evoker (Quarryman) ~ Sir Christopher Daggerfall, Level 15 Paladin (Fred Fred Burger) OoC: The quest will launch tomorrow on Sunday. Sorry Endgame, it was a choice between a healer and another assassin for the party.

Thanks for the compliments on Quest#44. I thought it was about time for the main storyline to move forward and for the players to get to know who the mysterious Veterans were, and how they were affecting the events from the background. The story of Sküld and Shaun was just a backdrop to all of this, but I thought it was a rather good way to get all the exposition through. I admit the quest could've gone much quicker, since it was just three battles in total, but the sheer amount of players on it made it slow down, since I wanted to give everyone a chance to add their input. Some players "dropped out" without ever saying so during the quest, but Chromeknight was a clever enough party leader for the last battle to post their actions for them. I really wanted to test out the limits of this game system on how many players would it be possible to take into a quest, but after this experience I still recommend all QMs to stick to the maximum of 8 players for one quest. This evidently wasn't just any quest, though. There will be more "main story quests" in the future that will include big parties, but I will have to find a way to better manage them before that. Thanks to everyone who participated and watched from the sides, I really hope you all got more motivation for sticking with Heroica RPG from the quest!

Byblos is reluctant to say anything. It seems Arthur already knows too much, but right now the librarian does not bear to think of losing his grasp on the book. Not before he has had a chance to read it cover to cover. "Come back tomorrow, Arthur. I mean it", Byblos says, more impolitely than he means. He then turns away from the young mage and locks the door of the backroom behind him.

The flustered Metasimian comes out of the backroom, tying up his robe. "Arthur? What are you doing here in this late hour? I was... asleep. Please, come back tomorrow morning. Or in the afternoon, rather. I am busy... with my studies. Yes, my studies of... mapping out the far west. The realm of Terra Chima, and beyond." It was obvious that the librarian was lying his teeth off.

That means there is one spot left for my quest.

The Metasimian Librarian takes the tome that Guts hands him with intrigue, but when he opens the front cover, his eyes widen with shock. "This... This is the Pandemonicon! The demonic scriptures of the Moon Elves of Mercution... Where did you get this? I was under the impression that the Wizard Priests of Ennon destroyed every last copy of this book centuries ago. To see one emerge now is worrying indeed, but I suppose it is better that we have it than the Zootists... I will have to find a safe place to store it, though. I do not dare to leave it unguarded." "Read me, and you shall become the emperor of the whole world..." "Read me, and you shall become the emperor of the whole world..." "Read me, and you shall become the emperor of the whole world..." "Shut your trap, foul grimoire! I will not listen to your lies!" Byblos carries the grimoire to the backroom of the library, and locks it away in an iron strongbox. But the next night he lies restless in his bed, listening to the whispers from the book. It calls to him, begs and pleads to share all the knowledge within it with him... Losing all self-control, the librarian gets up, takes the Pandemonicon out of the safe, and begins to read it...

QM Note: The healths have been fixed now, it was simply my omission. And yes, the untargeted Creepers will all get their Free Hit on the hero that the first of them normally targets.

Just been busy with concluding Quest#44. It seems you guys aren't in any hurry to leave the Fields, so I thought you could wait. But you shan't wait much longer, as I'm about to post your next battle - without the location picture, since I really haven't had the time to build it. Luckily I've taken pictures of almost all the enemies already.

QM Note: Thank you for participating on the quest! And don't forget to update your information at the Hero Statistics topic! Cinna headed to the Ziegfried Manor to return the bones and rags of Sycamore to her family. Thothwick, Namyrra, Nerwen, Thalion, Benji, Dreyrugr, Christopher, William and Alexander all decide to accompany her. At the manor, their news are met with horrified gasps and cries. "Oh mother, what did you do...?" "I cannot believe our family's name was tarnished so!" "Mother... I don't want to remember... I just want... to go ride on an unicorn..." "We thank you for bringing this to our attention. Sycamore's remains will be restored to her grave, to sleep next to her husband, my son. No matter what the two of them did, they were still family and deserve to rest in peace. I have to admit that necromancy is not an unknown art to the Ziegfrieds, but it is dangerous to dabble with such matters. If any of you ever aspire to become a necromancer, please remember Sycamore as a warning example." The heroes heed the words of the Ziegfried matriarch.

CURRENT SIGN-UPS FOR QUEST#50: 1. Tesni Hightribe, Level 25 1/3 Berserker (Peppermint_M) 2. Tarn Valco, Level 17 Berserker (Rumble Strike) 3. Hybros, Level 21 Assassin (JimButcher) 4. De’kra, Level 19 Assassin (Tanma) OoC: Sign-ups will continue until there's six sign-ups. Sorry, Wedge09, you're not eligible for the quest because it requires an advanced class to participate.

You got all the Veterans pegged down, as was planned, but please remember that what you know as a player is not the same as what your character knows. So I don't want anyone walking into the Heroica Hall going "neener neener, I know all the Veterans personally!"

QM Note: You will not be required to make anymore posts after this, you just need to declare if you will accompany Cinna to the Ziegfrieds' house and receive reputation among that faction. Benji is unable to track down the man, since he moved on with the party.
