Incredible technique, and a pretty unique concept! You don't see a lot of Warhammer 40.000 inspired MOCs around here... I was wondering what it would look like if you added one more frog on the 1x1 plate as a nose?

My idea about the Demonologist job class actually involves them making pacts with demon enemies in the game and/or summoning the powers of the archdemons. While everyone's suggestions of the class are interesting, I feel they are all lacking in that department. The name "Masochist" would fit the class better than a "Demonologist"... (j/k)

No, the crowd battle was going to happen no matter what you did.

I'm just saving the best for last! Doomsayer's Island is actually the conclusion of my Hinckwell/Shadeaux storyline. Hosting it back then would've felt forced, especially since it was just the introductory phase of each storyline. I wanted to give these characters and factions time to grow and evolve before throwing them to the climax. With these last two quests of mine, I have finally gotten all the pawns on the gameboard (to make yet another analogy), and now I can start moving them around for real.

This quest did not even exist as a plan back when I did #43, all I knew then is that the affair would come to light in a shocking twist at some point - because what would be the point of having a scandalous love affair if everyone was okay with it? But it wasn't really a non-choice. You got to choose which family to side with, so it mattered on the player's level.

As the heroes pieced together the tragic story of Ziegfried and Zieglinde, the shadows in the corners grew and the bedroom darkened. "Not that story!" Lilly muttered as the heroes read the story out loud. "It's the worst of them all! Why did the girl had to die? Why couldn't she become a powerful sorceress instead of her killer brother?" Once the story was correctly finished, someone snatched the book from Arthur's hands. "The end." "Waaah!!! A ghost!" "Power is not for little girls. That is the morale of that story. All you have to do is to be nice and do as you are told." The ghastly woman that had appeared in front of them had a dry, monotonous voice that seeped loathing towards the girl. Her long black dress was veiled in the shadows that had overtaken the room. What would the heroes do next?

Thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism, it is always appreciated! This was meant to be a light, humorous quest for low-level players, but also introduce the two NPCs that haven't gotten almost any screen time thus far - Laureline and Bellanotte. I had a problem balancing the battles for the party, as was obvious, but at least I hit the mark third time around. Neither the vampire battle nor the repeat battle with the dark dwarves were planned before the launch, but I felt you deserved them after having to flee from two consecutive battles because of the enemies being way out of your league. Well, she did give you her background story at the beginning, and being the sole female in the Hinckwell family I felt she needed screen time as well. I tried to make her different from Hestia and the Ziegfried wifes in that she is actually an opportunist and a snob, having married Heinrich for his money and not out of love. Also, she's the reason Hinckwell reputation gives access to the Minstrel class. I also intend to bring Taliesin into the picture at some point, to give Laureline more importance in the overarching story, even though he was just used as a red herring in this case. I like Bellanotte a lot as well, even though I haven't gotten to use her much! She's such a tragic character, and the ending was all about her naivety leading to more tragedy. Uh, hello? What about the awesome scroll that the vampire carried? Or the vampire cape from the wannabe? Or the dual strike axe of the dark dwarf leader? Not to mention the fairy's loot you missed... I say it's plenty enough for a short'n'sweet quest like this. Also, your second character is currently at Level 7. You can't expect Bobby to be wielding a WP:20 weapon just yet... You said it yourself - the Hinckwell/Shadeaux storyline has been treading in one place for 100 quests now. It had to be kicked forward, and the party's actions DID matter - Laureline doesn't know about her son's love affair because the party did not tell her all the details. Count Shadeaux would've found it out either way, but there are literally two sides to this story, and this quest was more about the Hinckwell's side of the story, even though Bellanotte ended up being the key player. But yeah, I'm not trying to make you like my story choices, I just want to make clear they are all part of a bigger picture. You have expressed your wish to "shake up" my storyline with some outside influence, but I don't think I could write these quests if I didn't have all the puzzle pieces in my possession. I'm all for player input, but I need to be the one to decide how much of an effect player input has. Otherwise I would lose sight of the main storyline and this game would have no real continuity.

The noble girl looked after Bobby astonished. Then a big grin spread on her face and she sank her nose into the flowers. The smiling Annabelle walked to her carriage humming "Lovebird".

Umm, I can't even say that's a good guess, but anyway... Nope.

Nope, they can wear whatever they want - except stuff that is suitable to specific characters or a different gender.

If Mencot (or anyone else) wants to ask questions from Byblos for RP purposes only, he can write the librarian's responses himself. I honestly don't have time to make NPCs chatter pointlessly with the players outside of quests. Of course I will do the answering myself if someone wants to know something more about the world of the game - as it is the purpose of the topic. But sometimes I'm not the biggest expert on the stuff that's being asked, in which case I will ask whether the player that knows more about the matter (eg. has created the NPC/country/culture in question) wants to do the answering.

Picking up a bunch of flowers from a box on the window-sill of a tavern he passed by, Bobby made it back to the Theater just as Carly's concert was ending. He indeed saw a familiar figure among the crowd. "Oh, it is you!" Annabelle said, recognizing Bobby. "Were you at the concert as well? Did you get to speak to Miss Swift?"

Laureline cocked her eyebrow at Darksten's comment. "I would hardly call socializing with the offspring of our greatest rival innocent. I do not want to dictate how my son lives his life, but certainly he can find other friends rather than risk the reputation of his own family." "If only this was a case of my son falling in love with some girl from the Hovels. But no, this isn't about his freedom to do what he wants, this is about doing what is right. My son is not stupid, surely I can make him see this." Laureline then handed the heroes the instruments of their choice. "These are some of the finest instruments this city has, so please treat them with the respect they deserve. And always remember that the power of music should never be underestimated." With that, the heroes were ready to depart to finally get some rest. THE QUEST IS SUCCESSFUL!

Count Shadeaux glanced away from the fireplace to take a look at the werebat tutor that had served his family for a decade. "Of course, Professor Vesper. Is it about my daughter's studies? I certainly hope she has made some progress... Unfortunately my beautiful Bellanotte does not share the wit of her brother and older sister." "Unfortunately, it is not about that... Some men came by earlier to see your daughter, just as I was finishing my session with her, and I couldn't have helped to overhear them talking..." "Talking about what? Just spit it out, Vesper!" "About your son. It seems..." The werebat took a deep breath. "It seems young Nuitan has a love affair with the Hinckwell boy, Lyren." "WHAT?!" QM Note: With that, I thank you for the quest!

Alexis saw a bottle and a hairbrush sitting on the mirror table, but they were beyond the minefield, out of her reach. They looked fake, anyway. After trading a Nostrum with Arthur for some gold, Althior hurried the party to the bedroom on the other side of the giant dollhouse. This time around, they saw no toys, only a book lying on the floor. "That's nanny's bedtime storybook! Ugh, I hate that thing! The stories are all so scary... But how did it get here?" When Lilly picked the book up, dozens of pages fell out of it. On each separate page there were only a couple of sentences written. "What do they say? I can't read very well yet..." ~BEDTIME HORROR STORY~ The heroes must reassemble the fallen pages to form a cohesive story. Each hero that participates in the reorganization will gain extra experience. The distressed father went to look for her, and never returned. Ziegfried became the master of the black book, and history became to know him as one of the most powerful wizards that ever lived. --- The lights took the girl to a cave and ushered her in. The tunnel was dark and steep, but the will-o’-the-wisps lighted Zieglinde’s way. Down and down and down she walked, until her feet felt sore. She came across many wondrous sights: a cavern filled with crystals; an underground lake with giant fish breaking the surface; even a village of small, cowardly creatures that hid from her. --- But the phoenix said that only he should read the book, not Zieglinde or their father. Only he had the strength required to bend the book to his will, to become its master rather than its slave. --- One day, when the siblings returned home with a basket full of berries and fruits from the woods, they found their father bedridden, weakened by a sudden fever. Their father knew of an herb that could help him, but it only grew in a distant swamp to the north of the forest. The children promised to retrieve the herb, even if it meant going further than they had ever gone before. --- But Ziegfried was not interested in power, only in finding a cure for his father. The phoenix then said that his selflessness was exactly the reason why he was chosen to carry the book. Then the phoenix flew away, dropping a single blazing plume at Ziegfried’s feet. --- They were will-o’-the-wisps. Ziegfried warned her sister to stay away from them, but it was too late. Zieglinde was already fascinated by the pretty lights that promised to take her to the herb, and started to following them without paying heed to her brother. --- But the lights did not allow her to stop until she came to a great, black temple that stood in a huge cave. Bracing herself, Zieglinde stepped in. --- Turning his back to his sister, Ziegfried returned home with the book and the phoenix pinion. There the book instructed him to distil the essence from the feather to produce a healing potion for his father. After recovering, the father asked Ziegfried about his sister, but the boy only told that she had gotten lost in the swamp. --- Looking up, he did not see the sun, but a flaming phoenix hovering in mid-air in front of him. The phoenix spoke with the voice of her mother and said that Ziegfried should not worry. Zieglinde would return to him, carrying a book that could answer all their problems. --- Zieglinde consulted the trees to guide her and her brother to the swamp. Night had fallen before they reached it, and heavy rain soaked them wet. Just as they were giving up hope in ever finding the herb they needed, they were surrounded by strange lights. --- Ziegfried got upset. Her sister was being selfish, and that made her unworthy of the book. The siblings got into a fight, and Ziegfried knocked his sister down with a jolt of electricity, seizing the book. --- Every day Ziegfried and Zieglinde would scour the surrounding forest, looking for something to eat, and every day they went a little bit deeper. The forest was not safe for children, for many wondrous beasts and dangerous monsters lurked there. But the two children were not helpless – they were children of a mage, after all. Ziegfried had the power to call thunder from the clouds above while Zieglinde could whisper to the trees. --- Clutching the warm feather, Ziegfried fell asleep. In the morning, he heard Zieglinde calling his name. She had returned carrying a book with black covers, just as the phoenix had foretold. Ziegfried asked her sister to show him the book, but she refused, claiming it her own. --- The boy summoned a thunderbolt to scare the wisps away, but only managed to knock himself out. When he came back to his senses, Zieglinde was long gone. --- Deep in the forest there was a tower where a poor mage lived with his two children. The boy was called Ziegfried while the girl was called Zieglinde. Their mother had died years ago, and their mage father was too preoccupied with his studies, so the siblings had to take care of themselves. --- Unfortunately Zieglinde fell directly on a bog eye and got stuck in the sinking mire. She pleaded her brother to pull her up, but Ziegfried steeled himself. He now had the book, and Zieglinde would only try to take it away from him again. --- Meanwhile at the swamp, Ziegfried searched for his sister everywhere. Convinced that the will-o’-the-wisps had led Zieglinde into a bog eye, Ziegfried fell to his knees and started to cry bitterly. Suddenly a bright light dried his tears.

~A new quest has been posted onto the Quest Board (#128 by Cutcobra)!~

Laureline's glee turned into dismay. "Hmpf! Is Lyren still hanging out with those Shadeaux siblings? His father and I made it very clear that he should steer away from them. The Shadeaux have caused nothing but problems from the day they landed on this island! But I appreciate that you have brought this to my attention. We will have to monitor my son's actions even more closely, even though he is now an adult. We have our family's reputation to look after... Speaking of which, your service has been commendable, and we Hinckwells will surely turn to you should we require more assistance from Heroica in the future. Besides my gratitude, I wish to offer each of you one of my fine-tuned instruments. Please, take your pick!" Fine-tuned Flute (WP:15, user is nimble; instrument) Fine-tuned Guitar (WP:15, user is lucky; instrument) Fine-tuned Bagpipes (WP:15, user is encouraged; instrument) Fine-tuned Saxophone (WP:15, user is transcended; instrument)
