"My brother is serving his role," answers Yu Shu as she heals him, and Samuel heals the entirety of the Golden Crusade. "It is unfortunate that he does not know the path that Ennoc has chosen for him. He is unaware that he was being used, and he has indeed joined the Order Imperial. I'll explain it all in a moment." The heroes follow Samuel down an alleyway swiftly. They come to a small unused room. "I apologize for the secrecy. I was hoping I'd be able to tell you my plan before we arrived, but Oko watched me nearly constantly. If he knew what I was up to, we'd still be standing outside those walls." "What WAS your plan?" "Swiftly, then - or as swiftly as it can be. Marcellus came to me and told me the Order Imperial had his witch in one of these compounds. Samuel was already working as a double agent for the Order Imperial. When Raguel was cut down in the north my brother tried to recruit him. He said yes, and came to me with it immediately. I already knew that Oko was working for the Order. He tried similarly to recruit Raguel before we sent him north, and Raguel had similar good sense to let me know." She sighs. "It was difficult for me to accept. And difficult too for Samuel to work under the Order Imperial." "It's good to be back on the right side of things." "We're glad to have you back. It was fun hurling insults, though." She smirks. "Anyway, when Marcellus came to me I had Samuel ask to be transferred to this base." "Wasn't difficult. Abel was being moved anyway on account of him 'going soft' - which is bull, he's the only good commander this damn Order has - and I just asked to go with him." "It was an enormous risk. If my plan failed, he'd be stuck here with the Order. But, no sense thinking that way. I think you know the rest. I hired heroes, had Marcellus lead us here, and had Oko capture us, like I assumed he would. There was no way to get through those doors unless they let us in. Which they did." "Enough history though. The objective remains the same. We're here to cut a chunk out of the Order Imperial. Avery, Samuel and I are going straight for the head of the snake. We'll be taking two heroes with us. Another two heroes will go with Marcellus to spring his witches. Samuel can point you in the right direction. It's up to you, heroes, who goes where." Yu Shu faces the Golden Crusaders. "It's up to you who you go with. I believe it would be in both of our best interest to not battle within this compound, but if you stand in our way, we'll cut you down." "We're here for the same reason," says Deborah with a shrug.

OoC: Pst, Sandy. "Ah. Thought you had gone soft on us. Glad to hear that's not the case." Boomingham takes out Scupperer and lays her on the table. "Don't know how to fix up this old sword, then? She got a bot of demon-crab blood on her, and a few dints from his damn shell too." "I'm growing a little tired of this realm, to be honest. Everywhere I look, I just find more shadows creeping in. Even if Lawrence would follow my directions, there seems to be anger and despair everywhere. Mortals are easily turned, it appears. Look at this Hall. At least Lawrence has his heart in the right place - some of these heroes can't even manage looking past their own pockets. And these are the supposed heroes of Olegaia." "That seems to be the way of things. Whenever I finally do close that book I thought was going to be my final book I always find that a few more have been opened. I used to think the Orcish Wars, when they ended, you know - that'd be the end of my career fighting, and then I could govern my people. But Hel, I'm still fighting and don't see an end in sight, and I can't tell how much good its doing. But what else is there to do?" Boomingham chuckles. "Besides, it affords me some free booze. Have I shown you this?" Boomingham takes out his tome of affluence and flips to a random page. Most of the original text is crossed out and Boomingham's handwriting is scrawled all over the margins. "I'm working on a book."

Yes, sorry, "picking up your things" also involves equipping the things that you had on earlier.

J. Smith will hear my roar!!

Ironically Arthur as a part of the Town Watch was one of the only storyline I really loved for him. It made a ton of sense for his character, I thought. But over-all, that's perfect advice. I'd advise toning down the bizarre extra information, NOT the fact that he killed Lupine. Docken once pitched the idea for the lightbulb in a quest, so I'd have to disagree with you. @Preztel's evolution - it makes sense to me too. I've worked with people I don't like very much, and I feel like you always at least learn how to survive with them. And my work doesn't even involve killing baddies!

"GLADLY!" Mitchell grins, showing off his own pair of pointy teeth. "Looks like YOU'RE OKAY, MONK!" "When the witches are safe," slurs Marcellus, but his frown is defiant. "That was our agreement.

Current Dropped "Things": Nerwen's, Marcellus', Grimwald's "Enough, Marcellus. I plan to honor my agreement with you, but so long as you're in here you are mine to command. It's like I told Kiray. Your time to fight them has come and gone."

Well in fairness Docken has been around for the entirety of the game and we've never complained about him.

All joking aside, you can feel free to call yourself his killer. Memory is pretty subjective. Boomingham could swear he killed Bluehood personally (and I got so used to typing it I started to believe him until I looked it up). I think he actually killed the Poisoner, but it doesn't really matter. Delusion away!

Just like when Dyric stole Hoke's kill when they faced Vonnetate. You can join Boomingham in the delusions of grandeur club if you want, Lind.

Sandy just said he finally finished moving all his pieces into place! Don't give him more pieces. I'd like to see more reoccurring villains, actually. We've not had a huge number of them, and most are dead at this point. I actually feel they tie together stories better than recurring friendly NPCs, because they really do set a real tangible goal. I can't think of many, but they were big deals when they were around. Baba is the only surviving one, by my count, and Ulric if you want to count him as a villain.

"I know more about you than you know about yourself, demon." "Ah, give it a rest, Barty. You know Hybros is more trustworthy than half the elves or humans that we run across." Boomingham shrugs. "You'd think the Eternal Reaper would be scary. Mostly he was just pathetic. A little war maker. Vowed the end of humanity or his own death and we killed him." "Masson Cour is more commonly known as the Stealer of Senses. A while ago Em, Karie, and the boy mage Arthur dealt with him - he was brainwashing some folks into changing their way of thinking. Bloody bastard. The others let him go, told him he got a clean slate because he said sorry or something. Not the way that I like to lead, so I promised I'd pay him back sooner or later." Boomingham finishes off his mead and belches, slumping into his chair a little and staring at the table. "But that's over and done with. Onwards and upwards, my little friend, onwards and upwards."

I think it was Guts . Though if the party in the fields leaves in time I'd be more than happy to quest with any of them.

"Just doing my job," she says with a lazy smile. In combat her eyes are a little sharper than they are normally, and her grin a little more confident.

Oh yeah, it was Pretzel. Maybe the quest he's on will magically be cut short and he can come quest with us instead. And yeah, the Henrys would be near impossible for me to vote at. There are so many strong characters.

"Oh, you know... still around." Boomingham chuckles. "I try to swat him from time to time, but its all become rather humdrum by now. He was proud of me for killing the Eternal Reaper, less proud of me for leaving Masson alive. I doubt he likes you, but he's sort of fickle. Sometimes he hates Nyx and Ellaria, sometimes he tries to be their best friends." "This mortal plane is very tiring," admits Barty. "I am afraid I've lost touch with my heavenly connection a little. And you've been no help what-so-ever." He stares accusingly at Boomingham, and then shifts his eyes to the company he keeps... Hybros... Nur... Thalion. "And the company you keep. Don't get me started. Only the elf is even remotely redeemable. When I got this assignment they told me I would be working with a general from the Orcish wars, and now look who you drink your mead with. And the drinking!" He looks over at Hybros. "I'm shocked he can sit straight right now. He drank two meads while you were down at the quest board alone!" "Like I said, still around."

His concentration on the green-eyed fellow at least gives Pretzel the opportunity to smash him over the head with a magnifying glass. Kiray takes up a defensive position near the Golden Enforcer as he hobbles around leaking blood. "DAMN IT!" he bubbles. "Let me at that BASTARD! I'll KILL HIM, NO ONE ELSE!" Avery continues her leaps around the battle, landing this time next to a swordsman. She whips out her dagger quickly. "Damn it." And his throat is cut. Samuel is able to patch up the kobold a bit, though a swordsman barrels towards him and gives him a deep gash while the Paladin's working on him, and Yu Shu, seeing her team flagging a little, calls upon her guardian angel - a grand burst of light and the roar of a lion burst from the heavens. Marcellus takes advantage of the distraction to head butt one of their captors and swipe Gocklo's things off of him. The black knight is woozy afterwards, but he still gives a faint grin as he pockets Gocklo's weapons. "Witch hunter," he mutters as he stares daggers at the kobold, who stares daggers right back.

Current Dropped "Things": Kiray's Things

A Danab's Apple is a rare item that makes your character explode!! Seriously, just play the game and sign up for a quest! I'm sure it'll be alright. Whats the team we've been trying to build for a while? Boomingham, Hybros, Eric... I could swear there was one more name we've tossed around a lot. I've gotta say, the Hall is filled with people I'd love to quest with. Maybe we can hook Nur in too. And its a very very fine line you two walk. I like character animosity - not everyone would get along, that'd be silly - but I can say my one quest with Tholar was exhausting. I think you've gotten a lot better since than Duvors, but it's still something to be careful about or else it suddenly makes the quest all about you.

So your version of Quest 127, basically. I'd love to come along - I really want to go on a Pie Quest, but I don't think Marauder makes any sense with my current build. Maybe I'll just sign up for both quests and let fate decide.

Haven't we been trying to get Eric and Boomingham on a quest together for a while.

Boomingham stands up as he sees the near heroes cluster around the quest board. He wades through them, swinging his weight around to shove them out of the way. He scans the two quests, and with a coy grin pens his name under Quest #130. "Finally, a quest fit for a King. Much better than something posted by the Regret. Seriously, what the Hels." "A minor Goddess, but as far as those go, certainly not the worst."

"If you wanted to fight these Golden Crusaders, you had your chance when we ran into them out there. I'd like to deal with just one foe in here. There are more than enough Order Imperial without us adding extra enemies."

"And STANDING AROUND will help you get them SO FAST!" gurgles Mitchell. "Are YOU AFRAID of SLEEPING MEN?!" "Where did you find these people?" asks Samuel. "Outside."

"I can TAKE HIM! CAN'T say the SAME for YOUR HEROES!" He looks at Grimwald and Kiray. "What are THEY? FRESH? Or are THEY BABIES you were SUPPOSED TO PROTECT? NOT WARRIORS!!" He chortles to himself, which sounds a lot like someone drowning. Deborah rolls her eyes. "Just kill the bastards already." She turns to Gocklo. "And don't let him egg you on." Gocklo flashes his teeth. "Kobolds have naturally built in weapons, though, he he he." Hallway Scuffle Round Three Pretzel v. Crossbowman A - Critical Hit ([([9*2]+32)*2]-5=95 Mitchell v.

Avery dodges in as the man bleeds, and plants her dagger in the man's stomach, but is thrown back before she can bring it upwards through his chest. The poor guard fires off arrows wildly, grazing Yu Shu and landing hits on Deborah and Gocklo, who both grimace in pain and yank out the offending agents quickly.
