"Glad to see the alchemist fall, at last. We should have little trouble finishing the rest of these, now." Ellaria repeats her attacks with the same battle order.

I think that is a fine suggestion, and I promise to look into Dragoon's build. I agree that it is a bit too hit-and-miss for an Expert Job Class. Making the dragon a permanent "tamed monster" could make it more balanced, since the Dragoon could rely on his weapons more.

QM Note: You're right, it was my oversight on the elemental absorbing. And missing your overkill money.

I too am sorry to see you go! Erdathcath has been an interesting character, for sure! Thank you so much for playing, but I don't think you will be able to resist EB for long. You'll come back one day with newfound enthusiasm. I'm okay with the fellow questies looting Erdy's body, by the way.

I'll resolve the Decamon Cups tomorrow, since I'm tired from the trip back home and need to sleep. Thanks for your continued patience!

The Young Wolf Brigaders began to boo and shout at Miderun and the other heroes, and one of them even dared to throw a cobblestone at them - missing, of course. Then they began to chant "Ulric! Ulric! Ulric!" Clearly Miderun's speech had not impressed them much. On the contrary, the gathered crowd was getting restless and agitated. "No. While I respect Fogfarer as a colleague, I like to keep my business separate from his. Besides, lately he has been spouting all sorts of rubbish - much akin to what my sons are doing right now. But if you think he has something to do with the misfortune that has struck my cargo recently, then I would not think so. You see, I keep my documents and schedules at my home office, and even though I have tried to maneuver the cargo to hidden locations, somehow the information has leaked to the thieves despite of it. But why does this concern you?"
