Ellaria gasps as she sees Rufindel fall. These sea creatures were serious business. "Sylvania be with us! I will drink this nostrum in the back row I have to increase my luck. Then I'll have better chances with the scroll and calling out the roots of life (from the bottom of the ocean) so that Rufindel could join the battle again."

Some of us have a village to run, you know? I don't have time to recount everything Horace has ever said during this crazy shebang. I just have this strong feeling (should I say it came from my gut) that Horace is one of the cult promotors. Earlier today, several people (myself included) expressed their concerns over Horace's habit of subtly pushing things, speaking just enough to seem helpful, but mostly just lurking around. Well, apparently there's a whole charade going on in private. I may just be a bunny who's a little cuckoo on the head, but at least I'm voicing out my opinion. I would give more concrete evidence if I could, but unfortunately it is not possible at this point. I may just as well go and sharpen my front teeth, because if this goes how I think it will go, I got things coming my way very soon.

What what? Bunnies have itchy twitchy noses, and sometimes they tingle. Especially when there's horses around. Orchids, orchids for everyone!

But is your character still called Jon Mcency, though? Because that's what your profile should say...

Although I love his thick, long, curved, throbbing, hot neck, I'm still going to have to vote: Horace Horse (iamded). I guess this is might come off as a shocking move to someone, but itchy twitchy nose is telling me that he's one of the people pulling the strings in the background. Besides, nobody who's that gorgeous can truly be good.

The Metasimian mother was very grateful for all the gold she gained. Tears streamed from her eyes as she repeated "Krathie! Krathie! Krathie!" The other woman was less satisfied, and the half-mad mage left muttering curses. But the beggars kept coming, seeing how lucrative begging from the group of heroes was. "Life plays nasty tricks on unfortunate souls. I was born as an elf, the most beautiful and graceful race in the entire world, yet my sickness took it all away from me. My kin shunned me, for they could not fathom the concept of an ugly, sickly elf. Please, nobody will help me. At least have the decency of not turning your eyes away from me, and perhaps give me a few gold so I can eat." "I may be blind, but I sense the kindness in your ranks. Such sweet, generous souls... If you give this old hag a few gold from your pouches, I can tell you a story of another soul who was the opposite of kind. Her mind was full of jealousy and deceit. Her eyes shone like those of a hungry owl, waiting for its prey. I was one of her victims, silly old me. I should not have trusted a witch so easily. I should've known, being a witch myself... But I digress. Do you want to hear the story of this evil soul? Then pay up, tehehe." "Yarr! I used to sail under the Hinckwell flag from trading port to another until I lost me leg in a duel against the Seaprince of the Merfolk. Please have mercy on this old deckscrubber, and throw a few golds me way. I can tell you of the monster of Loch Mess in return - or as the local farmers call it, "Messie"."

The party decides to hurry after the boys, turning right from the Brobric road. Not bothering to look at the shrubbery behind the broken pole, they miss the signpost that warns about an old, rickety bridge ahead. The four men continue along the trail, until they hear a loud cracking sound and screams from up ahead. They rush forward and come to a ravine with a fast stream running in it. Nuitan and Lyren are hanging onto the remains of a bridge that had broken as they were crossing it. The ropes on the bridge are giving in, so it wouldn't be long before the boys would fall into the deadly, cold mountain river. "Nute, take my hand!" "I got it! What now?" "Uh... I dunno. Let's scream for help. HELP! HEEELP!" "Ly! Who's going to hear us?! We're in the middle of nowhere!" "I dunno... But I won't let you fall, you hear me? Our adventures have always had a happy ending, and that won't change now! I've still got the magical Hinckwell luck on my side, remember?" The party barely hears the conversation across the roaring river. The boys have not noticed their presence yet, but if they get too close they will be spotted. They have to help the boys somehow before they fall. How will they do it?

In most cases it doesn't matter, but just to make a ruling, I'd say the first enemy in the list.

I'll comment on all these new class ptoposals when I have time, but at a quick glance there's some intriguing stuff in there. Exactly. As a mime, you can keep on playing as your original basic class, but you can easily switch when the need rises, and you can use any weapon or artifact you want. It's designed as the most versatile and flexible class of them all. Paragon and prophet are more powerful, but also more restricted.

Ellaria agrees to Atramor's suggestion, and attempts to use her Scroll of Recklessness on Nyx, because she could deal elemental damage from the back row, so she would not be as vulnerable as the others. "Here's hoping this works!" she said, taking out her newly-acquired scroll for the first time.

You have some interesting observations there, Mindy - it almost makes me want to BOING you but I don't have the necessary equipment. Yesterday I said I was going to shift my focus on Pennie if Ralphy would turn out to be innocent, but now I'm not so sure anymore... The scum are hiding in plain sight, I fear, and it looks like they've got a smart bunch for a change. Carly might have been one of them, but she was kept silent for the remainder of Day Two, which also points that the scum are clever. So, who amongst us are clever, or good at hiding in plain sight. Based on my experience in the Winter Haven Theater Club, where we've rehearsed numerous Harriet Slutter plays, I'd say Booker Bear, Edgar Elephant, Horace Horse and Shawna Sheep fit the description better. Of course, this is pure meta-gaming personality analysing, so I can't be sure about any of them. Now I fear that I'm not welcome to the Theater Club anymore after this. ... Just for the record to no one in particular, bunnies BOING. A lot.

No, it wouldn't. Several classes can use both ranged weapons AND spells/healing, and either way it would add one more stat for the host to micromanage. It would also considerably nerf the ranged classes, since arrows could easily run out. Or would they be retrievable during/after the battle? That's again one more thing to remember! No, the concept is too much to add to the battles. If this game was programmed and played automatically, it would probably be a nice addition, but not when it's "human-powered". Besides, QMs would start inventing "Super Arrows of Infinite Piercing", and then I'd have to tweak half the rules again to fit all these changes again. Trust me, I've had quite enough of tweaking the rules for the moment being...

And add yet one more thing to remember in battles? Do you think I'm crazy?

Oh, you silly wilkins! Of course you're just joking, tehehehe... *turns her voice into a whisper* Stop making yourself look so bad in front of the voters, megablock! We're in deep enough shit without it! Go fix this, now! Ah, that's my sweet husband for you - so adorable and fluffy! Makes me want to just BOING him all day and night long - as bunnies are prone to do. Boing boing BOING, tehehe! But seriously, has nobody got anything to go with? Great, we're so screwed...

I rarely say this, but now I have to: LOL! That was a total slip-of-the-tongue, but so suitable to the situation the party is in right now. Both of my quests will continue tomorrow, I spent the whole afternoon building, and now it's too dark to take any more pictures.

QM Note: please write your desired actions in bold, especially when you use items or gold. The old man smiles widely as gold pours into his sole hand. "Thank you, oh thank you, young heroesh! Let me tell you, I am a true veteran of Heroica, not thoshe pompoush ashshesh who are currently running it. Dragonlord, bah! Who doesh he think he ish?! Jusht becaushe your anceshtral grandmother wash a Veteran, doeshn't mean you automatically desherve to become one ash well! And I hear the Shaloon ish run by one of 'em orcish women. Have you ever heard a crazhier thing?! It'sh like giving the bar to a toddler! I shtill remember when old Johnny Thunder ushed to run the place. Thoshe were the timesh..." The heroes leave the wounded old man to his ramblings, but more people blocked their way. Namyrra and some others tried to push their way through, but begging hands and pleading faces were everywhere. "Aiyud! [Help!]" a Metasimian woman carrying two crying babies shouts as she sees Thothwick in the group. "Methzelek Metasimie, aiyud yu di yuse babagoon! [Friend Metasimian, help me and my children!] Yuza nwongo, babagoonza nwongo! [i'm starving, my children are starving!] Ninguni yu kokolor... [Nobody understands me...]" "Ether... I need some ether..." said a trembling mage in worn-out pointy hat. "If you have any spare tonics or gold, I could make my life better again. Magic is Zoot's work... you can't live with it, but you can't live without it either. I curse Ethereth for giving me all the power in the world, and then taking it away from me in a single blast! Now all I can think of is feeling ether flowing through me again... Sweet, precious ether..." "I used to be a beauty", began another woman, this one bearing a horrible scar over her eye. "But I fell for a wrong man. Now look at me, living here at the Hovels, every night wondering if my abusive gangster husband will come home from his dirty work. Mostly I wish he wouldn't, but what would that solve? I have nowhere else to go... Please, if you could just throw me some gold, I could get away from this hellhole." How will the party respond?

Insanity! All hope is lost for the town! Run, flee while you can! Nobody can survive this!!! *slaps herself in the face* No! I am the First Lady, I must compose myself so that the scared villagers can lean on me. Fear not, brave denizens of Winter Haven! I promise you that my husband, Lazlo Lion, will do everything to stop this horrible tragedy. ...Oh, who am I kidding. I'm clueless. I better just go and BOING. But if anyone has any concrete clues as to who might be behind this mess, now would be a really good time to say so.

The mother accepts the remedy with gratitude and offers it to her son. "Ugh, it smells bad!" the boy complains. "Clemence, drink it. Now!" the mother barks. The boy gulps the medicine down, and starts coughing. "Uh-oh, it sounds worse than before!", the mother gasps worriedly. Clemence turns pale, and his eyes start bulging out. "Please, now we really need to see the doctor! Just some gold, any amount will do..." Thothwick then caves in, handing the mother 17 gold. She curtseys as she takes the money, and drags his son away lickety-split. A few feet away, an elderly man with a long beard and only one arm stops them. "Shtop! My shight might not be what it ushed to be, but I recognizhe championsh of Heroica when I shee 'em! I'll have you know, I wash once a member of your noble organizhation too. I went on numeroush queshtsh with the very besht of 'em; Wolwark Bullseye, Redlock Maewyn, Grim Padrig, Lothoros Eldar... Shurely you recognizhe the namesh!

Great! Welcome to the game. Here's a properly sized avatar of your character as a welcoming gift. The next step you can take is to join the quests. There's currently two quests open at the Heroica Hall topic - just read the first post to see their descriptions. If neither one suits you, you can always wait for more to come up.

The old sailor takes Christopher's gold with pleasure. "Thanks, matey! Say, have you ever heard the story of the fearsome Jade KraCKen? It used to terrorize the Crystalline Sea and drag whole ships into the watery abyss with its mighty tentacles. They say that if ye cut one off, it would grow right back. That's why the only way to defeat it was to aim for its head! But how could ye, with eight tentacles flailing in front of ye?! Don't know what happened to the kraCKen, though, nobody's seen the beast in at least a year... Cheers!" The sailor left, but then the party's attention was caught by a woman dragging a grumpy boy behind her. "Please, you've got to help my wee son! He's suffering from pneumonia, and I cannot afford to see a doctor. If you could just spare me some gold so my son could get himself treated..." "Mom, please..." begged the boy dryly, obviously uncomfortable with having his mother fuss about him in front of all these valiant warriors. What will the party reply?

The "nougat" ones came from the Forest Police Station, and the dark tan ones from a few Ninjago sets. Pretty much all of my brick-bricks went to that single house.

The girl's face flushed with happiness. She was holding 30 gold, more than she had ever possessed in her short and miserable life. "Thanks a thousand, kind sirs! Now I can become a famous actress like I have always wanted! Bilbert Wigglepike, here I come!" The girl runs off with her gold, but the party is immediately stopped by an older man on the other side of the street. "G'day, maties! I was a sailor in the Bonaparte fleet until a Sharkling pirate bit me leg right off. All I gots left is this wooden peg and me wounded pride. Would you show some mercy to this old seafarer, maybe in the form of some gold? I cans tell ye a mighty interesting story in return..." The party members looked at the begging man, then at each other. How will they respond?

The watchwoman's face went red as she was questioned by the crowd of heroes. Some of them were more softspoken, others brash. "Oh, you may pass if you like", the woman said, stepping aside. "It's just that things have started to go crazy in the Hovels. Our patrols have been kidnapped, the poor have begun to riot, and dozens of greenskin slaves have escaped and gone into hiding there. The houses in power have decided to erect this wall with haste to contain these problems before they spread any further. But if you ask me, it's already too late... Oh well, this city has been heading for the dumps for a long time already. Go on, don't mind my babbling. Just beware. The people of the Hovels are on the edge, and the gangs are taking full advantage of this, so even a well-armed group like yours can get into trouble." With those words of warning in their mind, the party of sixteen entered the hovels. The barbarian named Erik Tyrvarr was yet to make an appearance, but he could still catch up with the others if he hurried. Together the heroes decided to name Namyrra Uq as their party leader, since the Fenarian had shown excellent strategic thinking in past quests. It would require a lot of that to control a group this big. As the heroes walked down the narrow street, a little girl stepped in their way. "Please, good sirs and ladies... Could you spare a few pieces of gold? I'm so hungry..." How will the party respond?

Ellaria wobbled a bit on the deck, grasping a railing to keep her footing. She remembered the last time she had been on a ship - it had gotten into a magical storm and stranded on an island where an ancient wizard was kept imprisoned. That was not something she wanted to experience again, so she hoped for an uneventful sailing. "Actually, Mr. Bob, I would like to know about the voyage to Strivvi. Are there any perils to be expected on our journey there?"

The sun was slowly crawling towards the top of the sky as a peculiar group of people started gathering at the ubiquous entrance to the notorious Hovels. They had been called by an altar girl of Fabula Sibylla to help find her lost friend.

A sturdy wall was being built around the poorest quarters of Eubric. A woman of the Town Watch was standing below the scaffolding, observing the construction work of the dwarven builders. Her posture stiffened when she saw the motley crew approach. "Halt! If you are going to sabotage the building of the Hovel Wall, I am going to have to apprehend you!" The woman - still a girl, really - was obviously new in her line of work. Watchmen rarely showed such sense of duty. How will the party members respond? QM Note: Welcome to the quest!
