Ellaria blushes as she sees her name in the list of chosen participants for Quest #5. "I cannot believe this is happening..." she mutters, then spots some of the people who are going to embark on the same quest. They all look so tough and ready to face anything. Ellaria looks down at her own white dress. Maybe she should change into something more fitting for the quest...

I concur that not voting is definitely not an option. I for one will vote someone in due time, I just don't know who yet. Voting is the Town's weapon against the scum, after all, and much can be deduced from voting patterns later on, even if we do end up convicting a fellow Townie. Analyzing voting patterns tomorrow is futile, but in the long run we start to see evidence there as well. Please, let's play this Fraulein's sick and twisted game with a solid tactic rather than incoherent rambling - even though that is much to ask from this bunch. Planning well ahead allows us to gain an upperhand on the scum. AAAAAHHH!!! Are those bull's testicles you're eating, Black Beast???!!!

AaaAAAhhh!!! Please, refrain from shouting, sir! All this anxiety is just killing me.

Byblos frowns in confusion. "I beg your pardon, sir, but I haven't the slightest idea what you just asked me. There are accounts of many more than just seven demons, it's just the scripture that mentioned Abraxas that spoke of those seven vices attracting demons. But like I said earlier, I do not delve into demonology light-heartedly, so I think it is best if you find the answers to your questions yourself."

You're right, I should get my hands on that as well.

Aaaaaaaahhhhh! The doctors are dead! AaaaaAAAAHHH!! That woman just shot poor Marcy!! AAAAAaaaaaAAAAARGGHGHHH!!! Medicine time!!! I guess I'll go with Opium, since it's the only one left... Bottoms up! Day One, Shift One: 1. The Big Fat Pill Poby Flanagan 2. Magic Beans Belle Bastage 3. Powdered Rhino Horn Heng Lewley 4. White Crystals Boo Cameron 5. Opium Sunny Day 6. Black Beauties Draxia 7. Red Devils Zed "Lumpy" Furby 8. Sugar Pill Shalonda Cunningham 9. Pink Pearlies Rick "The Salty R-Dog" Astley 10. Lemon Peel Stanley Spussemmin 11. Horse Tranquilizers "Tammo" 12. Salinie Infusion Manuel Bukowsk 13. Sponk Pandufus Randora

Theoretically an idea like that is perfectly doable, but I recommend that you plan it further after you've gained experience in playing the game.

But Sprout has that unique dark tan wizard's hat! Any minifig parts collector should definitely get her.

"Certainly. The Academy of Enlightenment is what some nations call an university, a place of learning for the youth of the influential families of Eubric. Unfortunately the entry fee is too high for the majority of people. I myself believe knowledge belongs to everyone, regardless of what family or race you were born into."

I currently own all 24 printed dresses released to date, as well as all four merpeople with printed fishtails. Year 2012 will add at least Queen Amidala from Star Wars as well as the Statue of Liberty and the Flamenco Dancer in the Collectable Minifigures Series 6 to this group, but hopefully many others as well. All 24 printed dresses and four merpeople together. SORTED BY THEME: 7 of the printed dresses and the merman are from the Harry Potter -theme. The Castle-theme has brought us 11 different printed dresses. 2 printed dresses and a mermaid come from the Pirates-theme. One printed dress and two mermaids are from the Pirates of the Caribbean -theme. The Collectable Minifigures Series 2, 4 and 5 have given us a total of 3 printed dresses. SORTED BY OTHER WAYS: The Black Sister: Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy. Three female teachers of Hogwarts: Pomona Sprout, Minerva McGonagall and Sybill Trelawney. Comparison between the yellow and fleshie Minerva McGonagall. The four merpeople. The mothers and daughters from two royal families. Three wicked witches. Three peasant women. How many have you got by now?

I'm replying to Flare's question here, because this is where out-of-character discussion belongs. I'm not in charge of those quests, so I'll leave it up to the respective QM's to decide if they want to list their current sign-ups or not.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Sorry, this topic just gave me a scare. I am Officer Sunny Day, at your service!

The librarian laughed. "I am quite sure the houses in power would not like it if I kept maps of their homes in this library. We do have quite a few rogues as members as well, remember? I'm afraid I cannot help you with the other questions, either. Everything I know about those subjects I have written for everyone to see."

Sign-ups to Quest#6 so far: 1. Bartholomew Docken, Level 6 Ranger (Brickdoctor) 2. Alexis Fenral, Level 7 Ranger (Masked Builder) 3. Eric, Level 7 Barbarian (Khorne) 4. En Sabah Nur, Level 1 Mage (Jebediahs) 5. Skrall, Level 1 Ranger (Waterbrick Down) 6. Barur Tormek, Level 1 Cleric (Aveal the black sheep) 7. Elgar Gligin, Level 1 Ranger (Jedi master Brick) 8. Tarn Valco, Level 1 Barbarian (Rumble Strike) 9. Leo Aragon, Level 1 Knight (JediAnakin) 10. Sir Christopher Daggerfall, Level 6 Knight (Fred Fred Burger) 11. Sylph Solanum, Level 6 Cleric (Dannylonglegs) (OoC: If I missed someone's sign-up, please speak up.)

The librarian told De'Kra that he would need to do research on the term "Abraxas", so the shade would have to wait for a while. Eventually Byblos returned. "The only references I found about Abraxas were from texts about demonology. It looks like this Abraxas has something to do with the demonic manifestation of pride. Every other vice has their demonic counterpart as well: greed, lust, wrath, envy, gluttony and sloth. So Abraxas seems to be the demon of pride, if I've understood the texts correctly. These are not matters that I delve in with pleasure, but knowledge is power, and we cannot defeat evil if we do not know anything about it."

Well, of course! This is a roleplaying game after all, it's purposeful that our characters will grow and develop more than just statistic-wise.

Yes, I will release the advanced classes when someone reaches Level 15. I thought I've repeated that enough times already, but apparently not. I didn't know if I could trust a board to do statistics, but you did them well anyway. (Hint: the actual spelling is "bored". There's a big difference.)

If you change your character, please do it right. First of all, please change your character picture. Then remove the Smoke Bomb from your inventory and put a shield (SP: 2) there instead. Hope you got the jist of it now.

"East of the Crystalline Sea lies another continent that contains for example the Dastan Empire. Beyond that lies another sea and more continents. This is a vast world we live in, with many uncharted territories and unsailed waterways. Sentient species even stranger than yours or mine can be found in the distant corners of the world. All we can do is explore more and more, but I believe there will always be new secrets to uncover."

The librarian shrugs his shoulders. "All I know about Donny Dozenhands is that he is a pickpocket who is associated with the Wolfgang. We don't tend to hold records of living people in this library, after all."

~The Quest Board has been updated with two more quests!~

The poison-effect in a weapon lasts only one battle, it was my bad for not removing it from yours after the battle. Sorry 'bout that. Yes, go ahead and change it. I did not see your request for an Ice Bomb, so I just gave the bombs randomly to the people Pandora had named.

Lorcan is taken aback by the party's suggestions. "I am utterly shocked at your proposal, gentlemen - and Lady Elf. I am already rewarding you with 1200 gold, which is an immense amount of gold to riff-raff such as yourselves, and you dare to ask for more? I am beginning to have second doubts if my family should trust your services in the future after all... But if this is how you wish to handle business, then so be it. Take the gold and get out of my sight. We might call for you, if we ever need further assistance." Lorcan Hinckwell leaves the alley. The party cannot suppress their curiosity anymore, but open the mysterious bottle they stole from the Ziegfried crate. A wisp of smoke emerges from the bottle, and a faint sigh of relief is heard before the smoke disperses. It seems like the bottle contained a captured soul, that the party has now set free. They wonder what the wizards would need three crates of bottled souls for, and why they were hauled up in a Shadeaux warehouse. But that is a mystery that must be left for another time. The party make their way back to Heroica Hall with their purses filled up with Hinckwell gold - the luckiest gold there is. THE QUEST IS SUCCESSFUL! Party (after the quest): Alexis Fenral (Masked Builder) Level 7 Ranger Power: 10 Health: 12/12 Gold: 225 Inventory: Longbow (WP: 3), Potion, Venom, Smoke Bomb, Bone Atramor Gibbin (played by CallMePieOrDie) Level 7 Rogue Power: 11 Health: 13/13 Gold: 219 Inventory: Chain Whip (WP: 4), Sai-dagger (WP: 3), Potion, Shovel, 2 Bones Eric (played by Khorne) Level 7 Barbarian Power: 10 Health: 14/14 Gold: 225 Inventory: Godricsleif (WP: 3), Potion, Venom, Mead, Bedroll, Bone Hybros (played by JimButcher) Level 7 Rogue Power: 10 Health: 13/13 Gold: 210 Inventory: Fleuret (WP: 4), Reaper Scythe (WP:3), Potion, Shovel, Bone Lord Lawrence Boomingham (played by Zepher) Level 7 Knight Power: 10 Health: 16/16 Gold: 240 Inventory: Longsword (WP: 3), Shadeaux Shield (SP: 4), Shield (SP: 2), Potion, Venom Rufindel Galadhras (played by Rufus) Level 11 Cleric (Party Leader) Power: 15 Health: 19/19 Ether: 15/15 Gold: 225 Inventory: Oaken Staff (WP:4), 2 Potions, Tonic, Remedy, Bedroll, Pickaxe, 2 Bones

~Scheherazade's rumours have been updated!~ Ellaria gazes upon the heroes returning from their quests with admiration. If only she could build up the guts to open her mouth and talk to one of them... She could learn so much from them, to prepare her for future trials. Why did she have to be so afraid of everything? Deep inside, she knew the people of Tumpkin Village were to blame, as they were the ones who had loved her so and then cast her away with sticks and stones, thinking she was a changeling. There was so much prejudice and fear in this world, Ellaria didn't want to add any more to that amount, but she couldn't help herself... Maybe if she was accepted into the quest she so humbly signed into, she would gain courage and maybe even friends.

Capt.JohnPaul made his decision to change his character, so let us all respect that. I just want to remind everyone that if you change your character, you cannot keep any of the previous character's experience, items or gold. Not even if you write that your new character killed your old one. *gives Capt.JohnPaul a stern glance* The only elven ranger?! What about Alexis Fenral, Benji Carvenhall and Erdathcath Madilinas, then?
