Kintobor, here's your version of Minstrel!Karie with Black Widow's hair: However, I couldn't help but to make my own, more feminine version of her as well. Feel free to use it if you think it's better.

Oh look, it's already panda o'clock! Looks like a fun creation!

Ellaria's eyes widened as she saw the time piece. "A portable clock! How clever! I wonder if the Tritech Corporation knows about these..." Ellaria gave Atramor 10 gold for her share. "Oh, I didn't think Dumora would be staying the night with us. We will have to ask her when she gets here." She then walked over to the other counter, with the cyclops hostess. "Good afternoon, ma'am! Is there any chance you served tea here? Also, I do love my share of gossip, so if you have any to part with, I would love to hear that while sipping my hypothetical tea."

I have one, so I can make you a version with that hair later today.

"Sure thing, Sarge. I'll be at the Temple if you need me." Periwinkle left the party. Sarge and Heckz decided to head to Shipwreck Shore, but they couldn't get there directly.

Syrma nodded seriously. "I never imagined I would ever be fighting side by side with a Fenarian, but your companions pique my interest. A wood elf, a dragoon, a barbarian and a clergyman... Surely such a rag-tag troupe cannot be agents of Fenario." Results of Round One of the Forest Fire Battle: Thormanil (Shishkebab) vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp A (twice) - Hit (Wisp A: 166 health-(64+64=128 dmg)=38 health) >Nerwen sings Lucky Chant - (All other allies: increased battle results; Nerwen: -10 ether) Pretzel (Dual Staff) vs. Flamboa A (& Flamboa B) - Enhancement/Damage (Dual Staff: +1 WP) >Syrma (Scroll of Frailty) vs. Rastaban - Success (Rastaban: fragile; Syrma: -1 ether) >Namyrra (Wind through Crystal Mace) vs. Rastaban - Shield/Special Damage (Raise Army - no effect) >Arx vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp B - Special Damage/Breath (Wisp B: 166 health-(47x2=94 dmg)=72 health) Johon vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp C - Extra Critical Hit/Special Damage/Steal (Wisp C: 166 health-42 dmg=124 health) Flamboa B - Free Hit on Thormanil (Thormanil: no deflection, 57 health+13 SP-34 dmg=36 health) Will-o'-the-Wisp D - Free Hit on Nerwen (Nerwen: 30 health+2 SP-(21/2=11 dmg)=21 health) Rastaban - Countdown -1 As the battle gets on the way, Thormanil skewers one of the fiery spirits with his Shishkebab. Nerwen starts singing a lucky chant once again, and Pretzel enhances the Dual Staff. Syrma makes Rastaban fragile for a while, but Namyrra doesn't get a chance to cast a spell on the dragon yet.

Despite their early lead, the heroes managed to catch up with the pair of werelions, who had left a clear track through the thick jungle of the wetlands. They encountered them at the mouth of an overgrown cave with a carving of a red-eyed skull above it. "Don't worry, Goldmane. I'll keep you safe from the beastmen." "For the final time, I'm not worried! And you should be more concerned about our rivals, because they caught up with us. Thanks to you leaping in the air for every little bug we saw..." "Little bug?! The insects here are humongous! You saw them, too!" "Stop embarrassing us in front of these people, Sumba." The werelioness glanced at the heroes, looking somewhat miffed. "So, rivals, it's a real maze inside there. We'll let you decide which way to go first." ~TREASURE HUNT #2: BEASTMEN'S LAIR~ The party must decide which of the four paths they would take from the start to the treasure. All four paths are full of perils that hinder movement, so the party must tread with care. Whichever party reaches the treasure with the least amount of turns taken, wins the race. If the heroes choose path A, the Rakshasa will choose path C, and vice versa. If the heroes choose path B, the Rakshasa will choose path D, and vice versa.

Sarge saw it best to leave Tontor and the goblins squabble over the gem, so he tossed a smoke bomb, lifted the unconscious Periwinkle to his shoulder and lead the party away from the battle. THE BATTLE IS TERMINATED! Periwinkle came to as they ran, and got to her own feet. "Thanks for taking us out of the bind, Sarge. I don't know what Heckz was thinking... I should be getting back to the Temple to report to the Revered Aunt, but I don't really have anything new to report. Am I excused?" What would the party do now? Party outside Buried Pyramid: Sgt.

Ellaria walked to the receptionist. "Good whatever time of the day it is! How do you keep track of time down here, anyway? But actually, I would like to know how much is a sizeable room for a party of four for one night?"

QM Note: Pyro, you might want to pay more attention to the battle actions. You just ordered Periwinkle to heal Heckz who was just revived with full health, and had Heckz physically attack his target instead of casting a spell... Round Five of the Battle Outside the Buried Pyramid: Sarge uses Phoenix Essence on Heckz - (Heckz: revived with full health) Sarge vs. Princess Gobbledegook (& Goblin Underling A) - Deflected Damage (Sarge: 47 health+20 SP-57 dmg=10 health) >Periwinkle heals Heckz - Heal (no effect) >Heckz vs. Goblin Underling B - Critical Hit (Goblin Underling B: 162 health-(50x2/2=50 dmg)=112 health+sealed) Tontor Shaggymane - Free Hit on Sarge Goblin Underling C (Goblin C: 42 health-27 dmg=15 health) Goblin Underling A - Free Hit on Periwinkle (Periwinkle: no diversion, 3 health-(36/2=18 dmg)=0 health) Goblin Underling C - Free Hit on Heckz (Heckz: 34 health-(36/4=9 dmg)=25 health) Sarge revives Heckz, but he doesn't get his orders straight, directing Periwinkle to heal Heckz too but disregard her own poor health. Heckz's attack with the dagger does not pack the same pow as his spells, either. In the end, both men get damaged while Periwinkle is knocked out. Five enemies are still standing.

"Sorry, the names down here all sound so samey to a surface-dweller like me... But I shall be at the Rusty Minecart, then." Ellaria then nudged Atramor, who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. "Are you coming with me, Atters?"

Oh come on! First the incredible summer sets and now this... Just take my money, TLG, take all of it!!!

The brimstone dragon grins, showing the full set of razor-sharp teeth dripping with saliva and blood in his mouth. "Finally you understand who I am talking about. She is genuinely worried you might defeat her, or else she would not have sent me here. She knows one cannot truly be a friend with a dragon without forming a bond with them from the day they hatch. Just like you and your adorable little pet have done. I am going to eat him, too, you know, so whatever hints I might have to give to you would be futile. You certainly haven't convinced me otherwise, dragoon." "At last, someone with a sense not to negotiate with a dragon! Help me defeat the fell wyrm, strangers, and I shall be ever in your debt." The elf raised her radiant wand up high. "So be it. It's barbeque time!" The dragon flapped his wings as he lunged towards the heroes, summoning serpentine flames and fiery spirits to attack with him. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Ellaria had a hard time keeping her cover, but somehow she managed to think like the merchant that she pretended to be. "I would be a lousy businesswoman if I did not think of profit, but my business is for everyone's benefit, at least. I am going see the High Chief tomorrow, but right now I need to find my companions from this city. Would The Rusty Cog be a proper place to get some respite around here? If they serve alcohol and a comfortable bed, I know my hirelings will show up there eventually." She then paused. "What about you, Dumora? Will you stay as our guide until we return to Miss Thisbeen, or what?"

Ellaria handed over Thisbeen's ashes and then turned to Dumora. "That should show you that we are trustworthy people capable of helping out the dwarven folk, don't you think?"

"You still don't seem to understand me, dragoon. I am not here just to eat anything that comes my way - I am here to eat you. You can call it a favor for a friend. A very old friend, with a very enticing voice... Sorry, can't really help myself. Gotta do what she tells me to." "By the stars, what have I gotten myself involved in? Is this wyrm really here causing mayhem because of you?"

"Are you deaf, dragoon? I am here to eat - eat you to be specific. I only started this little bonfire because I was bored, and the elves got in the way. I don't even like their taste, all skin and bones!" "You assaulted my entourage! You killed everyone! ...Zanyah..." "Oh, don't start bawling again! I'm pretty sure a few escaped my jaws. Not that they will survive long in my personal purgatory." "I shall vanquish you for what you did, you hell spawn!" The elf looked at the heroes, grief having turned to anger. "Which side are you on, anyway?" QM Note: Battle Songs cannot be used outside of battle, nor can they be used on the Minstrel herself. Sorry!

"Too bad. But I have an appointment with the High Chieftain tomorrow, so I will deliver these news to him personally. Take care, Miss Clarissa, and I would still suggest that you cover that hole as soon as possible." She then walked away from the room to return to the receptionist. "Are you coming with me, Atters? And Mr. Metasimian? I have to say, I did consider jumping down the hole to chase the dark dwarf, but with my limited resources and a dozen other tasks to accomplish, it would most likely have been a waste of time. We need to reunite with the others, too, before we get too involved with dark conspiracies." When they reached the entrance hall, Ellaria presented the documents and the genealogies to the attendant. "I believe this should be everything required to accept Mr. Thisbeen's ashes. I would like to add that I just saved your archivist from dark dwarven infiltrators, so I expect that to speed things up." That time Ellaria didn't even have to pretend haughtiness, she was that irritated by having to run fool's errands.

"Sorry to hear that. People must be starving down here", Ellaria said, even though she had no idea how much mushroom bread was actually worth. "You do not happen to have another copy of the map that the dark dwarves stole? Perhaps we could track them down with it, and get to the bottom of this ordeal your people are facing. Both the Guild of Invision and Heroica aim to help people in need, after all."

Together the party made their way to the person standing in the forest clearing. They saw that it was in fact an elven lady with flowing blue hair, but they had not noticed the immense dragon standing in the roaring flames until it was too late to back down. The elf was trying to fend off the dragon with a wand and a frosty aura. "Stay back, you fell wyrm!" "Oh relax, sad one. You are but a snack to me. The real meal is walking right there." The dragon's burning eyes turned to the party. "So glad you could make it to my little barbeque. Sorry I started before you, I was just growing a little tired of waiting." The elf turned to the heroes, with terror and confusion in her eyes. They could she she had been crying. "Are you the mistress of this wyrm, Fenarian?" she asked, aiming her words at Namyrra. "Command it to fly elsewhere, then, lest half of Spesialia is burned to the ground! Why fight over a scorched and barren land? Is there no end to the devious tricks your ilk can muster?" "The sad one seems to think I work for the pale ones. How amusing! I, Rastaban the Brimstone Dragon, am my own master! And I am still hungry." Perhaps Thormanil could convince the mighty dragon otherwise. What would the heroes do?

Ellaria accepted the family tree, pleased that she didn't have to jump through any more hoops to get it. "Thank you for this, Miss Clarissa. I believe there were four dark dwarves, but unfortunately one of them got away. Do you think they were connected with the accidents that have happened in the mythril mines lately?"

QM Note: Forgot to mention, but in the threeway battle, AoE-skills only affect the enemy party that the target belongs to, not the other one. Also, Pyrovisionary should take control of Periwinkle as well. I also also realized I forgot to apply weather to both of these battles. I'll have to remember to do it in the future, since it's part of one of your subquests.

Heckz casts a great spell on one of the goblins, but the other underlings beat him and Periwinkle while the mad princess focuses on the other werelion. Six enemies remain!
