Xander takes out the other battle ant while Dyric gulps down a potion to restore his own health. Althior's bright spell takes 70 health from the scarecrow. The remaining enemies assault the party, dealing 1 damage to Xander, 2 damage to Althior and 6 damage to Dyric. Scarecrow's poison does its job. Ten enemies remain.

It was you! From now on, Namyrra must only speak in iambic pentameter for the duration of Quest #44. Take that!

Thank you for a fun game with top-notch hosting quality! The forced roleplaying really made a difference, although it went a little overboard sometimes (where did the demand for me doing haikus even come from?! ). I liked it how it prevented anyone from getting lynched because they were posting in-character or being annoying - as everyone had to do it. I honestly don't know what came over me when I made up that claim about someone telling me iamded is scum. I just knew she was, from the way she posted and everything, but as a vanilla townie with no contacts to anyone, I couldn't prove anything. So I made up a weak claim to see if it would rouse up anything, knowing very well I would get killed over it. It was risky business for the town, and it probably did not change the course of the game much, but I'm still relieved I was actually right. It's obvious from the dead writeboard and this topic that feelings were hurt in the process of this game, but it just proves how gripping this game really was. The last few days were real nail-biters, at least to me.

Ellaria does not give up on Skrall, and tries to heal him again, standing safely behind him in the back row.

I too think it's a crying shame that the only bearded elf in the world must leave so suddenly, but if that's how you want to play the game, Kadabra, it's your choice. Exactly, but I don't want to see those items returned to the new character. If you give up your character and create a new one, you have to start from scratch - and getting your hands on a Staff of Awesomeness (WP:20) from the get-go is not considered starting from scratch.

The warden gets a good shot at the Scarecrow, dealing 45 damage and the poisoned-effect. Xander aims his arrow well at the first battle ant, but hits properly causing 29 damage. Dyric mugs the other battle ant for 44 damage and stealing 66 gold thanks to his sticky gloves. Althior zaps one of the Scary Crows into oblivion with a lightning spell. The crows gather to attack the heroes. Docken scares them away, but they deal 1 damage to Xander, 12 damage to Dyric and 2 damage to Althior. The scarecrow loses 1 health due to its poisoning.

From a QM's perspective, it would be simpler if stunned lasted for a whole round. Of course a player would wish it was just a turn. But if I have to make a ruling here and now, I'd say that stunning lasts for one round. That way it will apply well to both players and enemies.

It's because the rules were written in the time when there was no distinct separation between a turn and a round - mainly because the hastened-effect had not been invented yet. So I used the two terms interchangeably, although they no longer are that. I will go through the effect descriptions again when I have time.

I've hosted it so that the stunned player loses the next turn (no matter if it's in the same or the next round), but if the player is hastened, he loses both of his turns in that round. Is that too complex?

QM Note: Chromeknight, your statistics are correct. You had them wrong initially: your total health/ether is the class-related base plus one per level-up (not per level). See the numbers in parentheses for reference. Also, I renamed your Torch to Torch Staff to separate it from other items of the same name. Flare, you forgot to divide the High Heels, too. All the non-divided items are now stashed in your inventory. The heroes look at the carnage around them. The square is littered with the bodies of the rioters. Save for a few observers, everyone else has fled out of sight. Admiral Bonaparte turns to the party that is gathering it's ranks. "Thank you, champions of Heroica! You arrived just in the nick of time! I did not think the rabble would have had it in them, but times are desperate, indeed. You people are truly every bit as valiant as my dear wife has told." "Oh, you silly man! You've seen Heroica's feats countless times. You just don't want to admit that the Bonaparte Fleet isn't the only mighty force in the city." Everyone who fought in the battle now has increased reputation with the Bonapartes. The Bonaparte Cannoneers leave the party, and Sir Christopher and Thothwick rejoin. "But heroism is sometimes messy business", Hestia Bonaparte says, looking around at the bloodbath. "I know that well from my years in the organization. Luckily I have something that will fix this right up." The admiral's wife takes out a colorful orb from her waistbag. The orb radiates a bright light, and as Hestia rubs it, the light envelops the whole square. Much to the party's surprise, when the light subsides, all the dead people are revived with their gushing wounds healed. One by one the people rise, realize that they have been brought back from the brink of death and given a second chance, and run away. Only the four riot leaders are seized by the Elite Cannoneers. They are still too weak to fight back, especially since their precious weapons have been stripped away from them. "This is much more to my liking. The poor might be rising against us, but that does not mean we should mercilessly butcher them." "Wise you are, my darling wife. She's a true benefactor, you know? That is why we were here in the first place; to discuss donations with the Oracle. But what comes to these four..." ,the admiral says, glaring at the riot leaders, "- they will get what they deserve. They shall not be allowed to rile up these unfortunate souls ever again. We don't need any more troubles in Eubric than we already have." The Bonapartes bid farewell to the party, and leave with The Four tied up. The party can now access the Shrine of the Oracle.

"Listen, sweetchums, I really do not think anyone will buy a mangy hide from me for 100 gold. 42 gold is my final offer, take it or leave it. Although I wouldn't mind you staying... "

Thank you for your hard work! I hope QMs will mostly stick to the existing weapon types from now on. It would certainly make my life easier. Oh, don't forget the Fields of Glory prizes from the Treasury! Haaaallelujah!

Fabian shakes his head. "I'm deeply sorry to say no to such a burly hunk such as yourself, but you ask too much of it. It's just a wormy hide, after all. I can give you 40 gold for it, though."

It's the same effect that the "Twin Sai" -weapon from my earlier quest has: "dual strike" allows the hit to strike the target and the enemy listed after it in the battle order. If there's only one enemy in the battle, the hit is normal. I should probably mention it in the FAQ or something...

But heroes target enemies, not the other way around. A hexed enemy gets a Free Hit only if he was not targetted by a hero.

QM Note: You, but I suggest you talk about it first.

I honestly can't say. I've planned for two or three more battles for the quest, but with this many players, it's not going to be fast. Well, the hexed enemy attacks one of his allies instead of a hero. The QM can randomly draw its target.

Dak does not understand the ancient runes, either. He does recognize them as elvish, though. Only the party leader can decide whether the lid of the grave will be opened or not.

Yeah, I do. I haven't found the time to do the rest of the class sheets yet. But soon...ish.

*IMPORTANT NOTICE!* The rules have been changed to allow gradual equipment of more artefacts. Beginning players can only equip one artefact until they hit Level 10, where they get to equip a second artefact, and each ten levels gives them access to another until they hit Level 50. All equipped artefacts must still be from different categories. The rule change comes to effect immediately, so please notify your QMs if it affects the amount of artefacts you can equip.

Pizarro finally figures out how to shoot bombs, so he bombards the enemies with fire, damaging Boreal and defeating Zephyroth. Boreal's Frost Aura hurts him back. Eurose uses her Rumbling Strike move, dealing 3 damage across the battle field (save herself). This move knocks out Erik, but also backfires on Eurose, since Boreal's aura works on her as well. Nothus hurts Cortes, but Columbus uses all his remaining bombs to cause a Barrage that damages Nothus and Boreal, and takes out Eurose. Hybros throws his Bladerang at the two remaining riot leaders, followed by his special Gold Reaper move that nets him 66 gold. Nothus is the third riot leader to fall, thanks to Benji's elemental bolt. Guts heals himself with a Grand Potion and Namyrra summons Xut to join the battle. Having been left alone against the heroes, Boreal goes into a fury and attacks Cinna, De'kra and Sarick in a flurry of attacks. The naga falls. Nerwen fails to heal anyone, but Mizuki brings it all to a sudden stop by stabbing Boreal to the back. The norseman falls down, gurgling blood. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Benji, Cinna, Guts, Hybros and Namyrra earn third of a level. De'kra, Mizuki, Nerwen and the cannoneers get half of a level. Dreyrugr and Thalion earn a full level. Alexander, Raven, Sarick and William regain consciousness with one health, while Erik wakes up with full health. The enemies drop the Demonic Scissors, the Titanic Axe, the Fafnir, the Sylph Shuriken, pauldrons, a grand potion, a potion, high heels, a torch, and a horned hat.

The situation on the deck is getting worse by the minute. Ellaria rushes to Skrall's side, and attempts to heal him from the back row.

QM Note: The elves were dead already, and you didn't show them much respect before hand either. Also, leaving them lying on the mountain path would've only garnered attention from other patrols - you need to get back to Eubric as well, remember? You were damaged in the last round of the previous battle, so your health did go back up. The runes on the tomb are ancient, and Johon cannot decipher them.

The party loots the bodies of the three elven patrollers, then kick them down a cliff. Nur attempts to cast the lucky-effect on Nur, but fails, losing 5 ether. The party then heads to the forbidden holy grounds of the elves in the trails of the young lads. They eventually spot them standing high up on a stone pedestal. "Look down there, it's the Suicide Cliffs! We're almost there! Just a downhill ride from here-on out." "You don't mean to say...?" "Yep! I'll race ya!" "No, Ly! Wait for meeee!!!" The boys vanish behind the mountaintop. The party climbs after them, and see that the "slab" the boys were standing on is in fact a tomb. What will the party do?
