It looks like we have a whole new hero in town. Or should I say heroine?

Lilly hugged the five teddy bears tightly, and did not let Althior touch them. "Nuh-uh! They're mine to keep! I saw them first!" The older girl stirred when Arthur checked on her. "Uh, what happened?" Morgan coughed and spat. "Yuck! Why is there fur on my mouth?!" "That's what you get for dressing up as a huge purple bear." "What are you talking about?" Morgan then saw Alexis changing into the bear suit. "Oh, that... But what is this place? Did you get your hands on one of the grown-up spells again, Lilly?" "Well, kinda... But I didn't think it would take you with us! We're inside my dollhouse, trying to find out what causes all the weird noises I hear at night." "Please, Lilly! Will you stop talking about the noises?! I never heard anything, even when I agreed to stay up with you!" "Hmpf!" Lilly crossed her arms in front of her to sulk. "And you three, you're supposed to be grown-ups! Why are you playing along with Lilly?" What would the heroes answer?

Depends on how much you co-host. If it's a split deal, meaning both of you work for it, then it counts. If it's just help in running one round of battle or building a scene or few, then it doesn't count. But again, we are talking about rules and mechanics in a wrong topic.

Are you serious?! If the Chi Monk manages to roll Shield for more than eight times in one battle, they will be so overtly buffed they do not need to get anything extra.

The battle in Quest#125 opened my eyes to yet another design flaw in the Necromancer job class, so I tweaked it once more. Now the Shield-skill (which was renamed) allows revival of fallen allies at the cost of 5 ether per revival, but to balance that out, I included a 1 ether cost to each undead raised. Power must come with a price, after all.

QM Note: Unfortunately it will. Effects "run out" at the end of the round, so even though you have defeated all enemies, you will be knocked out. However, since Lilly is still standing nevertheless, you will win the battle but will not gain experience. I also tweaked the Necromancer's Shield-skill, it will step into effect immediately.

QM Note: Didn't catch that, but I rolled for it and got a Shield, so it didn't change anything. I probably should change the skill to include revival...

The vampire couldn't keep her eyes off of Bobby, and she purred to her slowly. "Hrrr, I can danthe to you all night long, my mortal printhe. I vant to forget all about that varm-blooded trollop Carly Thwift and her repetitive but avfully catchy thongth! From nov on, yourth ith the only tune I vill ever danthe to!" "H-hey! What about me?!"

OoC: Thank you for the quest, Flipz! Plotholes aside, the story was touching! And thanks to everyone else for the company - especially JimBee for saving my megablocks multiple times when it came to battle strategies. The fate of Towr weighed heavily on Ellaria, but at least she had been able to talk about it with her companions during their trip back to Eubric. She personally knew how fragile and flimsy life was, so she could only be grateful that she had been able to save at least few of the citizens. Or rather her golem counterpart had. Once the golems had perished, all of the golem's memories had transferred to Ellaria, making the whole quest a disjointed experience that she had lived through in two separate bodies. It reminded her of the time deep below Uland, when the spirits had split her up to two. Both of these events had fractured her soul, but it was whole again. It was time to sew the pieces together. For that, she needed a new direction to her life - and the Guild of Invision might offer her just that. "See you soon!" Ellaria hollered to Hybros as he disappeared into Heroica Hall. She herself needed to return to the apothecary to practice. The Guild would not accept just anyone as a member, despite reputation...

Again, you still have to get your quest idea approved by me before you can release it. I'm not advicing you to start out small because I don't trust you, but because people who have never QM'd before do not necessarily realize everything it requires. You shouldn't bite more than you can chew.

QM Note: I added some gold into the drops to enable stealing, like was my intention all along, but somehow I forgot it during the writing process.

As they say, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But yeah, luckily my life's ambitions do not include tyrannical domination of a LEGO message forum.

I hid his post and the following OoC-comments so that the quest could continue undisturbed.

Darksten's compass pointed somewhere to the east. However, that was the direction where the vampiress was currently.

The heroes decided to stay put, in hopes that the pale girl Carly Swift mentioned would pass them by. Hours passed, and slowly the concert-goers started to trickle towards the Theater. There was no sign of any pale beauties until a vampiress walked by. A young man dressed in all black suddenly stopped her, conveniently in front of the heroes. "Hey! Aren't you Donna Winter, the Undying Queen of the Dancefloor?! I'm your biggest admirer!" "Tho you think, hot blood. But yeth, it ith I." "Helvetia's grace, this is so cool! Please, oh Queen, can you make me your childe?!" "Oh bother... I have a conthert to catch, you knov? And I do not make jutht anyone my childe. You have to earn it, really yearn it." "But I do! I want to be yours for all eternity!" Would the heroes interfere?

QM Note: Durr! I added the Free Hits, and it turns out Alexis is now knocked out.

I finally came to my senses and changed the blessed-effect so that it restores a tenth of max. health each round, instead of a fixed number. It requires a little more math, but it makes the effect much more useful for players of all levels. I also made a few stylistic changes to the Chi Monk. Firstly, nimble-effect has now been added to the list of effects that can be gained with Chakra. I also separated common unarmed hits from the elementally imbued hits, naming them Martial Hits and Chi Hits, respectively. The class plays the same, nevertheless.
