Sandy

QM Note: Sorry, I seem to have copied outdated stats for Boomingham at some point. I rolled for them now, but only fragile succeeded.

Results of Round Three of the Basilisk Battle: Sarge vs. Basilisk (twice) - Deflected Damage (Sarge: damage deflected; Basilisk: poisoned by 12) Eric (Conspirator) vs. Basilisk - Steal (no effect) Sarge vs. Basilisk (twice) - Special Damage (Earth Dive - Basilisk: protected from damage until the end of the round) >Periwinkle does nothing >Boomingham (Frozen Saber) vs. Basilisk (no effect) Basilisk uses Earth Dive (Eric: no effect, Sarge: 47 health+20 SP-(58x2=116 dmg)=0 health; Boomingham: 56 health+11 SP-(58x2/2=58 dmg)=9 health; Periwinkle: 39 health-(58x2/2=58 dmg)=0 health) Basilisk - Bleeding & Poisoned by 12 & Fragile (-34 dmg) Despite Sarge and Eric joining the battle, it takes a turn for the worse. The heroes get no hits on the basilisk, and it soon dives under the sand, only to re-emerge later right under their feet. The party is thrown into the air and crash down all helter-skelter. Only Eric is unharmed by this, landing on his feet thanks to his sturdy boots, but both Sarge and Periwinkle get knocked out. That's when Heckz decides to enter the fray to save the day once again.

QM Note: You are right, you should have done normal damage since fire's power is doubled due to the weather, so it should counter the immunity to earth. What effects are you talking about, though?

It's two attacks, so the poisoning is applied twice. You can use the item on both NPCs out of battle and enemies in battle; that's the beauty of it.

QM Note: My bad! I will fix it!

QM Note: I dread the day you get your hands on a pair of Overkill Gloves. Also, you already decimated the Skeleton Mage, so you should aim your blasts somewhere else.

I heard rumors that the Almagesta has a good friend among the Ziegfrieds, though, but I do not know if that is helpful in any way to you. My apologies." Heckz then left for the Luxor Dunes, and saw his party mates fighting the basilisk. Would he join the battle as well? Location: Scrubby Sands, Luxor Dunes Time: Afternoon of the Third Day Influence: 5 Subquests:

QM Note: Nope, the last attack Skrall made was with his Composite Bow - you can check that yourself from last page. If the player wants to swap weapons, they need to say it out loud.

Karie manages to jinx the skeletal mage, though, but loses her Unlucky Horseshoe somewhere in the swamp as well. Some of the hexed enemies attack on their allies, but the hallucination soon fades.

QM Note: I'm waiting for Zepher to post the battle actions and turn order. Eric and Sarge will join the battle after the next round. "Ethereth be gracious, you are a wild mage? How do you fare without the protection and guidance of a Circle? You must have great power in you, then... I myself was summoned here from Etheria years ago by the Almagesta's request, since there was no eligible candidate to follow after the previous Royal Weather Mage. Sooner than I knew it, I was in charge of the whole Daystar Tower - just because there was no one better. So few are born with the talent of magic, even though it can be learned through arduous studying. It was quite a shock to move from Etheria - the island nation of mages, surely you have heard of it - to Salmanda, where magic is both revered and feared for its rarity." Magister Lapis Lazuli smiled with his beady eyes. "So yes, Master Brutenhal, if you have truly conquered the Queen of Sirens with your spells, there is not much more I can teach you. I would be honored to have a powerful sorcerer like yourself in our little Circle, but alas, it is only meant for those residing in Salmanda. There is something you could help me with, though, if you do not mind running my errands..." Discovered a new subquest! Weather Report Assignment: “The weather in the Salmanda region has been acting crazy as of late, and it has become nigh impossible for me to predict it with the current information I have. Could you help me by gathering information about the weather in the areas surrounding the city? The information has to be collected from Luxor Dunes, Kalakita Bog and the Shipwreck Shore within 24 hours. Report back to me at the Daystar Tower once you are done.” ~Magister Lapis Lazuli, Royal Weather Mage of Salmanda Reward: “I will give you the book ‘Begone with the Winds’ that trains you into my vocation.”

I would say yes to that. The same applies to Lethal Hits and Mortal Hits.

QM Note: I will be your Friendly Neighborhood Substitute Quest Master while JimBee is away. Who knows, maybe I'll even get one round rolled before he gets back!

The black knight sighed. "Look, I'm hungover, depressed and deprived, so I don't need any smartassed foreigners with ponytails in my life. So move along." QM Note: Yes, they both are counted individually, should someone possess both the artifact and the trait. At noon, the guard let Heckz and a few other attendants into the Daystar Tower, where they got to observe a ceremony performed by a strange magus. With his azure skin, long snout and floppy ears, he was something Heckz had never seen. "Aeo Valares! Shom Allares! Mes Morgos Handares! O Daystar, May Thy Brilliance Illuminate the Golden Domes of Salmanda Forevermore!" After the ceremony, the magus mingled with the guests. He noticed Heckz among them. "Beg my pardon, Master Sorcerer, but I have not seen you before. Are you a visitor of our beautiful city, perhaps? I am Magister Lapis Lazuli, the Royal Weather Mage of Salmanda and the head of the Salmandan Circle of Magi. What Circle are you from, if I may ask?" Meanwhile, at the Luxor Dunes, the hot and dry air made Boomingham and Periwinkle sweat and cough as they prepared to engage the basilisk. QM Note: Sorry, I forgot to apply the weather beforehand, again. Results of Round One of the Basilisk Battle: >Periwinkle uses a Tiger Balm on Boomingham - (Boomingham: immune to all effects) >Boomingham v. Basilisk - Shield (Guardian Angel) Periwinkle rubs some Tiger Balm on Boomingham, making him temporarily immune to all effects. Barty decides to pop up then, to make sure the basilisk can't hurt his protege.

Okay, I got your point. I'll tone down the initial SP, then. In related news, I have updated the Wiki with all the artifacts I've created myself. Feel free to add the ones missing from the lists!

Yes, that's the point. It allows people to become tanks when there is a large party, but in a small party it's not very useful. I can raise the price, of course, if 300 seems to low for you.

Boomingham and Periwinkle set out for the Luxor Dunes. They didn't get far before they felt the sands shift and the ground rumble below them. A gigantic serpent leapt out of the sand in front of them. It was a dreadful Basilisk! PREPARE FOR A BATTLE!

The weresnake merchant nodded courteously to Boomingham. "Yesss, I remember you. I ssseem to have underessstimated you previousssly, of which I apologize. I have heard interesssting rumorsss about you and your compatriotsss around the city in the lassst couple of daysss... Ssso pleassse, come on in. Jussst do not ever call me a chap again, capiche?"

"Quite... But pleassse do not touch anything you are not going to buy." "Aww! Can't I even try something on?!" "The rumorsss I heard... they were not about you." "Meh! What are you telling me this for? I'd love to nail the Black Market, but since their leader Ashanti is the sister of my captain, there's nuthin' I can do about it. You say you know where she's hiding? Check again - she must've had moved everything by now."

Pfft! What I do and don't allow changes on a daily basis! I very rarely if ever intervene on how player characters look, though. I've only said that they need to be humanoids, to avoid any issues with the game mechanics.

Sarge wasn't the only one feeling groggy that morning, for the Black Scorpion Knight was sitting against a pillar outside the Inn, working on getting drunk all over again. "A crappy mornin' to you all..." the knight muttered. The Sun Guard by the Tower's door was confused by Heckz's question. "Ahem... The Midday Ceremony is held at the midday, as the name states. If you will only wait for a couple hours, I am sure the Magister would be thrilled to have you as a guest." It was midday when Boomingham and Periwinkle reached the Floral Square in front of the Palace. Periwinkle was excited to hear they were going to hit the shops. "I know I should be a woman of faith now and steer away from all things mundane... But I just love shopping!"

Okay, that was a pure coincidence. Or something subconscious...

Ellaria felt the myconoid was a perfect person to interrogate, since they had already won him on their side. "Mycenia is your village, isn't it? Your people seem to get along with the dwarves fine, if I am not mistaken. We are on our way to meet the Head Chief in Brumpknob. Perhaps you know him?"

Too bad I couldn't outdo myself this time. But thanks, anyway. Yes, I made all the photography for Cutcobra's quest, which he seems to have forgotten to mention.

Endgame asked me this in private, and I decreed that the quest is long over, so there will be no posthumous rewards. Am I missing something obvious again?
