Sorry for the delays (yet again), I had friends over for the weekend and I didn't get a chance to update any of the quests. Do you think Zepher asked my permission for the fight? I forbade fighting gods because it's such a huge cliché in fantasy fiction - and being metaphysical beings with no actual bodies the gods cannot be killed, anyway - but I guess this "splinter" can be explained away by some sort of magical mumbo-jumbo. I really hope this does not start a trend, so that every quest won't end with a fight with a deity.

Not being able to tolerate the sense of terror that's haunting them, the heroes decide to push the lid back on the tomb. Soon the feeling evaporates, and the party is no longer cursed. Hastily they leave the king's grave behind and hurry after the boys. As they descend the mountainside, they suddenly feel the ground rumble, and a roaring laughter pierces the air. They soon see a hulking Mountain Troll on an upper trail, and a landslide below them. It looks like the troll is deliberately breaking the mountainside, and laughing on top of it. Then they hear the two boys crying for help among the stone rubble. Will the party go up to face the troll, or down to help the boys out of the landslide?

I would actually prefer if female dwarves also sported beards. This hasn't come up before because of the lack of female dwarves (except the one who was half-orc as well), but it would be cool to see in my opinion. I'm actually planning a quest related to dwarves, but it's far down my list of planned quests (there's about ten of them currently). With LEGO parts, you can easily put a female face under a beard-piece, after all. Thanks! I just love the Amidala-headpiece. I had to incorporate it into this game somehow.

Xander fells another scary crow, and has the option to mark flying enemies as favoured. Althior takes a moment to meditate and regain ether. Dyric deals 17 damage to the last scary crow. The birds flock to attack the heroes again. Only Dyric is harmed this time, suffering the loss of 3 health. Six enemies remain.

"Oh, I really shouldn't say. Her Holiness said it was... what was the word... spoilers?" The Oracle's eyes smiled at Sir Christopher. "You refused to fight the rioters, Christopher Daggerfall. Actions have consequences, but doing nothing has consequences as well. There will be a time when you must remember that, or you will perish." "Dreams are the mirrors of truth, Nerwen Calmcacil. But like mirrors, they can sometimes twist what is real and lead you astray. What you saw was a twisted vision from the forces of evil. When you get to the dark temple, you will find the black grimoire, but the powers it gave you in your dream come with a heavy price. Decide for yourself what is the cost you are willing to pay."

Maybe. I will let you squirm in the consequences of your greed for the time being.

The Oracle looks at Sküld and nods. "Your work is done for the day, Sküld. You may depart with these heroes, if they have no further inquiries from me. Just remember my advice." "Yes, Your Holiness. This is just something I need to do." "Yes, it is." The altar girl turns to the heroes. "Are you ready to leave yet? I must go tell mother that I'm going to search for Shaun with you. I will explain everything on the way home. I'm so glad you all came." Is the party ready to depart the shrine with Sküld?

The party decides to open the lid of the tomb. The stone slab is heavy, but together the four heroes manage to push it aside, revealing the skeleton of an ancient elven king. Suddenly there's a freezing breeze, and a low howling can be heard in the wind. The heroes get chills down their spine and a dreadful feeling in the backs of their heads. The whole party is permanently cursed. Trying to shake off the dread, the party checks what they can find from the tomb: Crown - Worth 300 gold Gold Chalice - Worth 100 gold. Skeleton Decoy – Can be used to absorb enemy Free Hits for up to 20 points of damage before it breaks. Will the party take these items, and if so, how will they be distributed?

Sküld looks up at the Oracle, not daring to speak without her permission. "To be a human is to err, Alexander Vandangant. It is something you all need to understand, but you learned your lesson well. This city is sick, and sometimes the only path to healing is to cut open the sores so that the puss may drain out." The Oracle raises an eyebrow. Her dark eyes, lined with red, seem to see straight into one's soul. "Guts Holla, you thrive to do the right thing, but your mind is clouded by greed and pride. There will become a time when you will put someone else ahead of yourself, Guts, and that will bring you the most suffering you have ever known. But you can find the right path through that pain. Self-sacrifice leads to true awareness."

The priestess looks puzzled. "Fabula Sibylla is the name of our goddess. There is only one altar girl here, and she is called Sküld. Is it her you are seeking? "Well met, Chris. My name is Liandra, and I am a priestess of Fabula Sibylla. You can find both Oracle Semiramis and the altar girl Sküld from the inner sanctum. Let me show you the way." Priestess Liandra took the party inside the shrine, and through an anteroom into the sanctum. There they met a tall woman with piercing eyes who wore an elaborate headpiece, a veil over her mouth and a brilliant red dress. Next to her was a young girl in a red cape whose hair was the exact same tan color as her skin. The girl was seemingly nervous, not daring to speak in front of her superiors. "Your holiness, I beg forgiveness for the interruption, but these people are here to see Sküld", Liandra said to the Oracle. "I am aware. The gods decided they needed a lesson in humanity, first." The Oracle then turned to the party. "Welcome to the House of Fabula Sibylla. You have been expected." There was something eery about the voice of Oracle Semiramis. It truly sounded like she was in speaking terms with the gods themselves. What will the party say next?

"Finally!" Ellaria sighs as the wooden deckboards starts to push sparkling roots out. The roots restore everyone's health and revive the fallen crewmembers. "Thank you Sylvania!" She then runs back to Mr. Whales, who is scrambling to get up. Ellaria takes his hand and hoists him up. "What in the name of Neron just happened?" the sailor wonders. "You just took a hard fall. There's still plenty of these greenskins left, so let's get at them." Ellaria and Mr. Whales both attack Orc Slaver E from the front row.

I'm sorry, but I've been adamant about not letting people host quests related to their own player character. Subtle references and mentions are okay, but it's not fair that a QM gets to raise their own PC into the limelight, when the focus should be on the players joining the quest. And as others have pointed out, your quest pitch is too similar to Quest#1. Go read it, and you will see the same thing. I will have to turn down your pitch, sorry. No, you don't get to keep class bonuses when you advance into "higher classes". That's why the class bonuses grow with each tier. There is no "bad reputation". There's just good, great and outstanding. If you have a "great" reputation with the Ji Pei, and you earn reputation from the Bonapartes, you will have a "good" reputation with both factions. This means you can never have a "great" reputation with both rivalling factions.

I'm actually in the process of reading Mockingjay, the third book of the series. I'm also contemplating on adding an NPC named "Catnip Everdream" to a future quest.

QM Note: Sorry for the delay, the quest will continue tomorrow.

QM Note: I already put it in your equipment, since you can equip three artefacts from now on.

The Shrine of the Oracle is a peculiarly impressive sight among all the rickety shacks in the Hovels. It's not small, and the dirt and the soot in the air have left their marks on the marbled walls of the Shrine as well, but it still radiates an uncharasteristic beauty to its bleak surroundings. The statue of Fabula Sibylla, the winged goddess of fate and prophecies, stares down at them with her signature owls. A woman dressed in red is standing at the doorway. She escorted the Bonapartes out of the temple and saw the entire battle. "Greetings, brave heroes of Heroica. May the odds be ever in your favour", the woman says, spreading her arms like wings. "You are here to meet the Oracle, yes?" The woman smiles benevolently as she waits for their reply.
