OoC: I'm not sure how you'd rule this, WDB but if it is alright with you, I'm using Ellaria's "Instant Items" trait in conjunction with rowing. Ellaria pours a potion on Tesni's mouth but keeps on rowing as well.

Shortened HRPG: GAS. I don't mind people planning spin-off games, but I'm not sure if you understand how much time and effort it takes to actually manage a game of this scope. It also heavily depends on getting active players that keep the game going - that has been the downfall of all the previous roleplaying game attempts here in EB in the past. Anyway, my current prediction is that HRPG will go on for two more years - at least I have material for that long. Time will tell, though...

OoC: Ellaria's health is still incorrect... Ellaria keeps on rowing, keeping an eye on the leeches swarming beside the boat.

Oh, someone dug this old topic from its grave? As it so happens, I've continued collecting the printed dresses, but there's so many of them nowadays I've stopped keeping a list of them. My apologies.

Awww, cute widdle Elder Thing! Even though I am a fan of the Cthulhu mythos, I've never found the critters particularly menacing...

~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#133 by Asphalt)!~

QM Note: Yes I did, sorry for not paying closer attention... But using the Conspirator, you wouldn't have been able to kill any of the enemies you did now, so it's best we leave it like this.

It varies for me. Sometimes I have everything built in advance, sometimes I build and take photos as the quest advances. I highly recommend the first method, since it makes hosting much less stressful.

QM Note: It would end both battles, but the dice do not agree with you. Results of Round Ten of the Battle at the Helm: Boomingham vs. Siren Temptress B - Critical Hit (Temptress B: 307 health-(66x4=264 dmg)=43 health) Eric vs. Siren Temptress A - Steal (no effect) Eric vs. Siren Temptress B - Shield (Ravage - Albatrosses: 256 health-(72x4=288 dmg)=0 health, two albatrosses killed; Temptress A: 504 health-(72x4=288 dmg)=216 dmg; Temptress B: 43 health-(72x4=288 dmg)=0 health) >Periwinkle vs. Flock of Albatrosses Siren Temptress A - Critical Hit (Temptress A: 216 health-32 dmg=184 health) Sterope, Siren Temptress C & D join the battle! Current Weather: Breezy (doubles wind-damage, halves earth-damage) Boomingham gets another good hit on his target, but it is Eric's ravaging move that turns the tide of the battle for them, taking out the last remaining albatrosses and one siren in one full swing. However, with everyone suddenly knocked out at the stern, the siren queen and her remaining cohorts fly to the helm. "No! How many more must we kill before they give up?!"

OoC: Shouldn't it be Ellaria who is bleeding? She lost the health, but the effect is listed on Atramor for some reason... "Very well", Ellaria said haughtily to keep up her act, grabbing one of the oars. "Although I have to say this is unbecoming for a woman of my stature. But I shall make an exception in this dire situation..." She then began rowing arduously, with all the countless times she had rowed a boat at Tumpkin Pond still in her muscle memory.

QM Note: You seem to have missed that Heckz was knocked out as well...

"I guess I should use this now", Ellaria said and dug out her Blind Bomb from her bag-of-holding and thanks to her instant items -trait she tossed it at the enemies before smacking Blood Leech A from the front row.

OoC: I also have a Blind Bomb in my inventory. Upon examining the enemies closer, Ellaria pockets her bomb and tries to whack Black Leech B with her hammer, from the front row.

He quickly realizes that he has stabbed Theresa instead of a siren, but before he can do anything about it, the shrill sound of a saxophone straight to his ear knocks him out. Sarge sees this as he attacks one of the real sirens, and rushes to avenge his companion. His heart sinks when he sees Aunt Hymnessamine lying at his feet, terribly wounded, with her blood dripping from his claws. "What the hel just happened?!" The siren queen laughs above them. Three more enemies are left against the two standing party members.

OoC: Will the dwarves be rowing as well? If so, does that mean the boat will advance towards the shore by 3 each round no matter what we do? "I would rather fend off the creepy crawlies with my bombs than row. I'm not the most durable one out of us, after all... Tesni, you are the head of my bodyguards, you call the shots." Ellaria prepared to throw her Air Bomb at the enemies from the back row, depending on the choice whether to use the sleeping bomb or not.

"It will be fascinating to see the cities with my own eyes", Ellaria muses. "So... are we there yet?"

"Hmm, interesting... Care to tell more about the origins of your cities? I'm guessing your forebearers found loads of mythril beneath the mountain... So it is like Tor lead your people to his lover, wouldn't you say?" Ellaria kept her voice dreamy and wondering, to keep the dwarf unconspicuous.

QM Note: Remember that the confused-effect was changed so that there is always a 1/2 chance for the confused person to attack an ally instead of doing the designated action. So it is a matter of luck wether you survive or not. Pretty high stakes for the first battle in this quest, I know... But you can always flee if the battle is too much for you.

"I am sorry to say I am not very familiar with your culture, either. I do know you worship the god Orrik the Earth Father and her daughter, Mythra. Are there more?"

That was actually Flipz's idea - he created Carly Swift as an NPC for the Theater topic.
