It should be noted. The mouse is twisting my words. I never meant that. I meant that since yesterday I said we could learn Ralphy's alignment by convicting Carly (they seemed to be in cahoots), it is no longer possible because Carly's body was swept away. So my vote was based only on how Ralphy has behaved, his odds statements and voting strategy. I never intended to say there were no other possible suspects, because it's obvious there are. However, I feel the most comfortable sticking to my own suspicions. If Ralphy turns out innocent, then I will probably shift my eyes on Pennie, who I already voted for on Day One. But this talk is too serious to my liking. Why don't we discuss the history of erotic poetry for a change? I've been gobbling up ancient poems from Lesbos all day, and suddenly I see all the women in this town in a different light. You too, Mindy...

Nur attempts to make Johon luckier with his scroll, but fails to do so, losing 5 ether. He quickly fixes the situation by consuming a Grand Tonic. Meanwhile, Johon uses his Magic Compass to deduce that the boys have indeed turned right from the road leading to Brobric.

Yes, it works exactly like that. You can also do that outside of battles. I can't really tell how useful the trait is yet, though...

Nothing has changed. My mind has been made up. I vote for the hare. No, I don't want to vote for myself! I vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88). Since we did not learn anything certain from the cow's death, all we have to go with is Ralphy's behaviour, which has been more than suspicious enough. Also, he's after my husband, so he really needs to DIE. I apologize for being so silent today, but I've really been focusing on this new poetry hobby of mine. I really want to thank the person who directed me to it from the bottom of my heart - if only I knew who it was. I would really squeeze him or her to DEATH. Not speaking literally, of course. I'm more poetic than literal nowadays. I even burned my "Harriet Slutter" and "Fifty Shades" books to make room for my future collection of rabbit haikus. Because if I don't get rid of this curse soon, I will need all the space I can get. Ooh, that gives me an idea... Maybe I can move to space! That would give me infinite room for my poems!!! It would also make my head explode, which is exactly what I need right now. B-JOING!

During the night, a note had appeared into the Quest Board. It was written in a neat, if a bit oversized, handwriting on a silky paper.

The expert and master job classes have now been posted to the Training Room -topic (with the exception of the expert classes created by others, but I will get them up in a few days). Go check them out, and feel free to sink into dreams of playing your hero as one of them! With this, I want to thank everyone for participating in the first anniversary celebrations! August is over, and so are the festivities. But there are still loads of more to come in this game. Now let's all head towards that second anniversary. We can do it! Oh, and Scuba, I feel for you! I would've gotten a nervous breakdown in your place.

The Copper Fox stands in a balcony, looking down at the crowd below entering and leaving the Heroica Hall. He rubs his chin. "Hmm... I think they are ready to learn what lies ahead", he muses to himself. "If they thought the path to heroism was simple, they were sorely mistaken." ~The expert and master job classes have now been added to the first post of this topic!~

"Yes, we should be heading off", Ellaria said with a serious expression on her face. She half hoped, half feared that this quest would take her mind off of Elpis.

Results of Round Nine of the Merry Women Battle: Nur uses Phoenix Essence on Johon (Johon: revived with full health) Dak vs. Robina - Mortal Hit (Robina: 77 health-(25/2=13 dmg)=64 health) Johon vs. Robina - Special Damage (Steal From the Rich - Nur: -29 gold) Sylph vs. Robina - Critical Hit (64 health-(29/2=15 dmg)=49 health) Nur revives Johon with one of his phoenix essences. Dak delivers a hit on Robina, causing 13 damage. Robina follows by stealing 29 gold from the richest party member, Nur. Sylph continues with a hit that deals 15 damage, but the merry woman leader just won't go down. One enemy remains, so the rest of the battle will be played automatically. Enemies: Robina Hooter - "I'm not called Hooter for no reason." Type: Humanoid Level: 18 Health: 49/215 Special I: Steal From the Rich – Robina steals 10% of the gold from the opponent with most gold. The gold cannot be recovered.

OoC: Hope you don't mind me hijacking Patricia for this post, Scuba. This is purely for my own roleplaying purposes, and I think I've shown my ability to portray her character well enough. Ellaria, who has been standing behind the others, finally speaks. "Captain, if I may be so bold... I have no questions about the mission, it seems we need to travel to Strivvi before we can expect to learn anything else. I have a personal question to ask, though. If I may borrow a second of your time..." Ellaria and the captain of the watch walk a respectful distance away from the others. Ellaria then recounts the kidnapping of her baby, and asks if the watch has found any abandoned infants from the streets lately. "I am sorry to hear of your loss, Miss. Unfortunately there has been no such findings in the last few weeks. Be aware that this is a cutthroat city, and a little child has very slim chances of surviving without protection." Ellaria hangs her head when she hears this. She has to fight to prevent the tears from coming. The captain certainly does not mince words... "Miss Arbour, I have to question your ability to participate on this mission. You are free to abort your quest and return to the city to find your daughter." "No!" Ellaria says, more fiercely than she intends. "This is something I need to do, and I will not let you down. I just hope... you could keep your eyes open for my little Elpis." The captain nods, and it's agreed. The two women then return to the others.

The cow is missing. I should have seen it coming. Let's lynch Ralphy now.

Ellaria eyes the sharkling suspiciously, and is amazed to see that all of her companions are willing to make such shady deals with him. "I will pass, thank you", Ellaria said as politely as she could. She was used to pinching the gold, especially with Elpis. Eubric was not a cheap city to live in, after all.
