QM Note: You're right, it's fixed now. QM Note: Then why does Nerwen dress like a druid? Sorry, I just keep mixing up Nerwen and Erdathcath for some reason... You can always heal the Pheles Rod to keep it in the battle longer. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if Sküld tries to Arc Heal the enemies...?

Immediately Namyrra, Benji and Guts are wounded. Hybros takes out two of the lesser demons with his assassination skills (while getting richer at the same time with his Gold Reaper skill). Thothwick musters up his own inner demon, but his dark-elemental force is all directed at the Pheles Rod that suffers great damage. The Skeleton Knight renders itself indomitable with its Skull Guard stance. The heroes fight valiantly, causing damage here and there. Sarick runs out of ether in the middle of it all. Mizuki manages to mug one of the demons, Arioch. Unfortunately, Dreyrugr becomes faced with the four-armed demon as well, and it's too much for him. Arioch knocks out Alexander and Raven who were standing close to Dreyrugr, and severely damages the vampire. It even takes a slash at Sküld, but Sir Christopher takes the damage for her. The untargetted scorched skeleton gets a free hit on Namyrra, but her helmet blocks the blow. Fifteen enemies are left, against sixteen heroes.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do in a roleplaying game? RPG Rule #34: "When entering a house of an NPC, take everything that's not bolted to the floor."

QM Note: That's some hard-megablocks party leading.

Actions speak louder than words, my friend. If you want specifics, I currently think Dragmall and Petrus are the ones to follow. If I'm sadly mistaken, then so be it. It's not like anyone has shared any information with me, so how could I know better... Finn actually made a pretty good case for himself just now, I think. Unlike Carl. Carl smells scummy to me. But if Finn is your choice, then I will vote for you. Just for today.

I've got my plan figured out: I now know whose judgment I can trust (at least as far as trust goes in this game of life), so I will be following those people today. If they turn out to be wrong, I will have to change my tactics.

"Hmm..." Ellaria tries to pick up the stone cup. She also picks up the bone and stashes it in her bag (OoC: hey, it's a free 5 gold from Elphaba's store )

"Aha! So there are numbers hidden here, after all!" Ellaria exclaims triumphantly. She investigates the items on the table (the maps, the cup, the coin (?), the brush and the bone) to see if there is any numbers marked on them, or if they are peculiar in some other way.

Ellaria takes a closer look on the coffin lid. "Odd that it's fixed to its place... Maybe its a hidden door?" Then she turns to the books and papers and tries to find numbers that would help open the chest. She also examines the picture on the wall, giving it a gentle push.

QM Note: I've decided that Phoenix Essences do not affect the undead. It would just make battles agains the undead too easy. So please change your action.

Alright, then. I was merely playing with the thought of allowing Phoenix Essences to instantly kill the undead when I posted that bit to the Library (hence Byblos is asking, not declaring). Now I've decided against allowing it, simply because it would make battles against undead too easy. Potions still work on the undead, though. When I reminded the players of Quest#44 about their Phoenix Incenses, I meant that they were going to get knocked out a lot, so they should use what was given to them.

Looks absolutely great! But when an NPC entry is updated, you will have to remember to edit all the quests related to that NPC. I fail to remember if a Phoenix Essence has actually ever been used to instantly kill an undead enemy? But a Phoenix Incense would hit all enemies, meaning it would be redirected at the Pheles Rod. I'm doing my damnest not to make this battle too easy for you. I do, in the QM Notes below the battle listing.

After Hervi's passionate speach at the end of yesterday, I was sure we had made the wrong choice, but color me pleasantly surprised! But why did Hervi go to such great lenghts to give us the "when you find me innocent tomorrow, do this" -speech? Did he expect people to change their votes in the last minute? Did he want to throw us off the tracks? But there are perhaps two or three more Servants to go, so we have to keep our heads cold even though it years to celebrate our victorious night. With the Einherjar investigator gone, it will be that much harder to find the remaining few.

QM Note: One more thing: I did not give you those Phoenix Incenses for no reason!

What? Do you think my humble little boss battle is too much?

QM Note: Alright, I will fix it so that Shaun will flee once Sycamore is defeated. She's the one forcing Shaun to fight, after all.

QM Note: Yes, but the battle won't end until all the other enemies are defeated. It's all about choices. Remember that the promised reward for the quest is 1 gold each, so failing the quest only affects the story aspect.

I'm not sure, but to me it sounds harder. But if you put the alphabetic listing I suggested on top of the index, and then the "order of appearance" for the entries, it might work.

Scubadoo got it right: This applies to all effects that work for a specific amount of rounds (except the Shield-skills Sentinel and Guardian Angel that only work on the following round).

Sycamore Ziegfried shakes her skull. "Again it comes down to this. You just cannot accept the facts, can you? You living may wriggle all you want, but in the end Zoot will prevail. He always finds a way to return, he is indomitable. This temple got buried under rock and waves over a thousand years ago by the forces of Ennon when they sunk the entire kingdom of Mercution into the Crystalline Sea. Yet here it still stands, protected by Zoot's blessing. Zoot is in no hurry, and neither are we Undying. We've got all the time in the world. But that does not mean I will stand it when pretenders sully the name of Zoot!" The necromancer raises her staff. "Abraxas was not the only archdemon sealed to this temple. There were three of them left here to guard it, and two more are still dormant inside. You may defeat me and my flock, but can you oppose an archdemon? We shall see about that... I summon thee, Mephisto! Prince of Gluttony, awaken from your slumber and rise to defeat the infidels!" The ground begins to grumble, and suddenly all the heat is gone from the cave. Chills run down the heroes' spines, and not just because of the sudden coldness. A gut-wrenching moan fills the cave as an icy-white shape rises from the ruins. Towering almost as high as the temple itself, the archdemon steps over the walls, crushing a few skeletons under its massive foot. It's piercing blue eyes scan the surroundings. When it speaks, the voice rings inside everyone's head. "WAS I AWAKENED FOR THIS WORTHLESS HANDFUL OF MORTALS? I, MEPHISTO, WHO USED TO DEVOUR ANGELS OF ENNOC FOR A LIGHT SNACK BEFORE THIS WORLD WAS EVEN BORN? I MAY BE WEAK FROM MY THOUSAND YEAR SLUMBER, BUT THIS IS LAUGHABLE! I AM THOROUGHLY INSULTED!" "Consider this a mere chance to stretch your muscles, my Prince. Abraxas would be grateful if you got rid of these pests while he is away." "ABRAXAS?! BAH! THAT POMPOUS JESTER CAN RUN BACK TO AZAZOT FOR ALL I CARE! YOU WILL BE UNDER MY COMMAND FROM NOW ON! LET US GOBBLE UP THESE MORTALS LIKE THE TASTY MEAT THAT THEY ARE!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Everyone, choose your action and target. Remember that you can choose to protect Sküld. You also need to keep Shaun "alive" until Sycamore is defeated to successfully complete the quest. Note that as long as the Pheles Rod is in the battle, all attacks that hit all enemies will be directed only at the rod. This means that if for example a Fire Bomb is thrown on the first turn, the Pheles Rod will receive 16 times 10 damage, 160 damage in total. Also note that you can only damage undead enemies with elemental weapons, items and spells. Good luck on this final showdown of the quest!

OoC: CMP is correct. I apologize for the confusing terminology, but you can equip three artefacts, out of which one can be an accessory.

"That's crazy talk. If I reverse Helvetia's blessing, the boy will wither away in seconds. Who needs life with all those pesky bodily functions and diseases when you can exist in this higher state of being, devoid of everything mundane?" "What way? That's Shaun right there! We must get out of here with him before the skeleton lady gets angry!" "My patience is running thin. Now prove that you are true followers of Zoot and join us. You must willingly give up your lives so that the conversion is successful. If you resist or hesitate, I cannot guarantee that you will be resurrected with everything... intact." What will the party do?

Ellaria looks at the others. "I think we should all enter together." She then turns to the rat, who is happily nibbling his piece of moulded cheese. "[Not you, little fellow. You're safer here.]" The druid then follows Skrall and Atramor inside.
