Sandy

Round One of the Floraphant Battle: Sarge flees Heckz flees THE BATTLE IS TERMINATED! When the pair of fleeing heroes thrashed through the bushes to the Shipwreck Shore, night fell upon them along with a heavy rain. On the beach they almost trampled a group of minuscule men.

QM Note: Loot distribution, please? The ghostly dragon grinned menacingly. "I am... no longer... your bitch, dragoon... I only obey... the Necromancer..." Syrma looked at the heroes that did not seem to listen to anything she had to say. "Will you help me or not? Please, I have no means to find anything through this billowing smoke..." It was true; even though the flames had been doused, the trees and other plants still emitted a thick smoke, blurring their surroundings. What would the heroes decide? ~INTERLUDE~ "So neither a Void Eater nor a dragon were enough to stop them. I have to up the ante..." "I still do not understand how you got a hold of such power. Controlling demons of the Void is one thing, and forging pacts with dragons is another, but who else has the prowess to do both?" "Oh, I've collected bits and bobs here and there over the years. Trust me, I have had time..." During my time at the Tower of Babel, I got to see the notorious sorcerers at their prime. Weaving their dark magics, they inadvertedly corrupted the lands of Babeleth forever, but back then they did not think of the consequences. I watched as a silent servant, and I learned. They named me Ambergaze, for my fiery, lidless eyes were always prying their sinister secrets. I probably would have stayed there much longer, if I had not heard the call of a certain book. It was the culmination of the sorcerers' powers, their greatest and most lethal invention. The book was called the Pandemonicon, and despite there being multiple copies of it, it had a mind of its own. I could not read it myself, but it promised me greatness should I deliver it away from the greedy and small-minded sorcerers, and into the hands of people with true power. Then, one fateful night I managed to escape the Tower with three copies of the Pandemonicon in a burlap sack. I ran along the red brick road that the sorcerers had built across Babeleth, knowing that I needed somewhere to hide. No, I needed to hide my true nature, for a Mindflayer would stick out like a sore thumb in any crowd. So, I left the road and diverged into the woods... "You got three copies of the most dangerous magic tome ever written? Dare I ask, where are they now?" "You'll learn when I get to that part. I promised you my story, so let me tell it in it's entirety. Now, in those woods, that's where I earned my second name; The Eatress."

I actually had a dream last night that the Castle-theme for 2016 was based on the Heroica board games, with the characters made in minifig size and all. I'm telling the truth here, honest! It would really be dreamy, at least for me...

Mulled Wine (Causes the inspired-effect, doubling the target's current and maximum health for the duration of one battle.) The Star Elven scholar sighed in relief as the battle was over, but there was still sadness in her dark blue eyes. "Thank you for your aid, noble vagrants. I forgot to properly introduce myself. I am Syrma of the House of Virginia. I ventured outside our sealed capital to research the seven ancient cities that were laid into ruin by the war between my people and the Fenarians. The animosity between our kinds has lasted for several millenia, although there has been a temporary armistice for some time now. Me and my entourage were on our way to the ruins of Valtira when the dragon suddenly ambushed us. Look at this map; Valtira is the red spot north of the Fenarian Mountains. We are not far from it." "I do hope some of the others are still alive, though." Syrma began to sob. "My bethroted, *sob* Zaniah, *sob* was among them *sob*..." The spectral dragon hovering above the party then spoke. "I wouldn't... count on it... I usually do... a thorough job..." "Please, could you not help me look for Zaniah and the others? I beg of you! I can guide you wherever you are going in return!"

Choosing the polite dwarf, Ellaria sat down on the offered chair. "Oh, it was nothing. I was just in a hurry, too, and I loathe long queues. Don't you? I am Doctor Ellaria Arbour from Eubric Freeport, by the way. Thank you for letting me sit with you, mister...?"

"Alright, let's just wait for Dumora to get here, then we can call it a night." Ellaria eyed on the roasting pig. She didn't usually eat a lot of red meat, but now she felt famished and helped herself with a plateful of the pig. Seeing both tables occupied, she smiled to the dwarf and the cloaked man sitting on them. "Can I sit and dine with either of you fellows? It's been a long day, and I wouldn't want to get pig grease all over my white coat, you see."

I'm pretty sure the Veterans tell you about the deal when you first enter Heroica. Of course, when the game started, people had no clue about it.

Here's my take on MysticKnight!Warlen: And heeere's Johonny!

Eric lead the party to the third tunnel from the left, while the Rakshasa took the first tunnel. The heroes moved through the tunnel with no means to search for traps (5 turns), and they did trip into one on the way (10 turns). They dug through a barricade with Boomingham's shovel (13 turns) and jumped over one hole on the ground (15 turns). Meanwhile, the Rakshasa moved equally quickly through their tunnel (7 turns), encountering no traps but having to destroy a total of three barricades with their shovels (16 turns). This meant that the heroes reached the treasure first! But the Beastmen's Lair was not called that for no reason, which the heroes soon found out as a shrill battlecry emerged from the tunnel ahead. Three bestial men with thick fur, sharp claws and snapping mandibles charged at the party with supernatural speed. The beastmen communicated in strange clickings of tongue. One of them, seemingly a shaman of their tribe, was carrying the fabled Crystal Skull on his staff. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Her playing damages all enemies and she gets to sing the Lucky Chant without consuming ether. Thormanil and Arx show Rastaban the true power of dragoons, and the fearsome Brimstone Dragon falls with a great roar. "Treachery! Brahne forgot to mention... you were this damned powerful... Go on... Kill the witch so I can... get back at her... in the Great Beyond..." With the firestarter gone, all the party had to do was to douse the flames. Oddly enough, Syrma begins to give the fire spirits a lecture, and Johon tries to put them out with a whip.

Here's the three PCs from #135 that do not have an updated look based on their current job class: Dragoon!Thormanil with Dragonsbane Lance: Necromancer!Namyrra with Crystal Mace: Artisan!Pretzel with Dual Staff:

"Oh, how interesting!" Ellaria said, despite not having a clue about half of the things the Cyclops talked about. She waved for her party mates to gather around and listen. "We heard about a Scarlet Worm in Krumpknob, the rockling said it was the largest he had ever seen. It attacked the mythril depot, for some reason. Maybe the worm is the reason why the mines are drying up? Did you hear that Dark Dwarves raided the archives in the Glittering, yet? I was there, and saw everything. One of them got away with a detailed map of the underground. Maybe the Dark Dwarves stole the drill, too? We also encountered some hostile golems when we were passing Mycenia. Can you tell us how the whole issue with golems started?" Ellaria then dug into her purse. "How much for the tea?" OoC: Please, everyone, chime in if you have more information or clarifications. It's been such a long quest with so many nuances that I'm starting to forget many of the details. We need to get everything sorted out before venturing on, or we'll be running around the underground like headless chickens for the rest of our quest.

Didn't you just spend half a year customizing Vindsval to your liking? I am a purist, anyway, so I can't offer you anything better than what you have already created. I'm not that good with brick-built creatures, honestly. Genius! I'll see what I can whip up, but I'm not making any promises to anyone. I still have two quests to hosts and one to participate in, as well.

Out of the spur of the moment, I decided to redo Jinnipher for JimBee, and make my own suggestion for BlackKnight!Kiray. Use them if you like. Here's Jinnipher with her Crescent Sword and Full Moon Shield: And here's Kiray, totally rocking the black-and-gold color combination, with blue added for accent.

One of the official pictures shows Jay making a pass at her, though.

Glad you like it! Who's next for a makeover? In other news, I'm officially on vacation for the next three weeks, but I'm not really going anywhere, so expect a lot of updates and frequently. I've got some neat ideas for the Fourth Anniversary coming in August, and I'll finally have time to get the ball rolling for the Värtland Saga...
