"Those are words. I ask you again, what crime did I commit that warrants my death?"

King Valentino looks at the Orc cooly. "I will assume, as I don't recognize you, that you are not one of the Orcs that has had me under lock and key for these last few years. And so also I will hope you are a reasonable one. My son had no ill blood towards the Orcs when last I saw him. I can only hope that it has come upon him recently, and that I can exorcise it just as quickly as it was implanted in him." The King looks at his son, he has begun to stir. "That does not excuse what he did today. But I am his father. Do you have a son or daughter, Orc? And if I were to demand his or her head, could you give it to me, regardless of what they'd done?" Valentino turns next to the Paladin. "This one..." he sighs. "I cannot condemn to death. But I have no forces on the bridge. If the heroes were to not defend him, I will not stop you." And, as if on cue, the very bloody and faint Raguel staggers to his feet. He has dropped his sword, leans only on his staff. He does not look at the Orcs, does not look at Valentino. He glances only first at David, and exhales sharply seeing him alive. He turns next to the heroes. "Heroes," he says, looking directly at Nerwen. "I do not understand your rage. But I must ask you, before you murder me, what crime did I commit? Advising young David? Or was it defending David when Nords razed our city? Or perhaps it was, in your mind, going to greet Valentino, to ensure his safe return. This is not a war party," he gestures to the bodies on the ground. "Thirty odd soldiers, and an unarmed Prince? We had no plans of invasion. It was only when I saw the Orc party on the opposite shore that we took to arm. They were coming here to kill us. And for what? For a crime that a Prince in a different Kingdom committed. Our people are reeling from their city being burned earlier today, can they really suffer another attack?" "What do you think?" asks Heweyrt, looking at the heroes he hired.

Nerwen leans down to examine David's body and the robe he dropped. Robe of the Disciple of Light (+5 Health, +5 ether, Immune to Darkness, a roll of meditate replenishes 2 ether, body-wear) David is breathing, but shallowly. She hears footsteps behind her. She looks up. "Is he alive?" asks Valentino. Meanwhile, Heweyrt stands next to Gocklo. "Did I make you proud?" sneers the kobold. "Don't you always?"

I have work in 45 minutes . These rounds take a while to run.

Yeah, there has been a lot of lore. The library sort of serves as that, but only Sandy can post in it. I think we are talking about collecting the already existing lore.

People have teleported when they've needed to! I think the most should be taking place in Eubric! It's fun to still have dark corners of the map to fill in. Keep the game alive. There was a time we didn't know Dastan, or, very recently, Baltarok. But a lore topic would not be out of place.

I absolutely think that someone needs to make a map of the Eubric underground. There is a massive series of tunnels there, possibly bigger than the streets. I know that I've always laughed at/had fun with the number of secret societies that exist, but underground is: 1) The Proggs (a whole city!), 2) Zylsatra (a second whole city!), 3) The Syndicate Hide-Out, 4) The Temple of Zoot, 5) Various Sewers/gang hide-outs, 6) The Temple of the Old Gods, 7) Mercution (a third whole city!), 8) a Dragon's Lair. Probably more. It makes me laugh. I love the tropes that have developed within the game itself!

OoC: I don't have time to auto-roll another round right now, but I might later this evening! And if not, early tomorrow. I think this battle can be done within 24 hours!

I love NPC allies. It's always a lot of fun to design them, and I really love the ones that Sandy has been tossing in this quest!

OoC: Cassandra can heal herself. But she's out of ether, so you're all in luck.

I think he was joking, but I also don't understand your opposition to gaps in power. The older players are going to be more experienced! It just happens. It's not like he stepped into the game and was rewarded immediately, he started with the same stuff as every new player.

"A gentlemen's club? Is walking right in not an option, Purple? It seems like they'd welcome our business. Might be worth it to scope it out a little." Boomingham makes his way over to the folks standing by the fountain, making sure to walk over what appears to be a piece of wood inlaid in the street (perhaps a trap door of some sort?). He gives the Captain a smart salute. "Howdy there, Gwyar." Boomingham glances at what appears to be a body in the water. "What've we got here?"

OoC: The way I read Pie's post is that any free unoccupied spaces can be moved into, whereas if, for example, the Eastern Border had some Orcs in it, heroes couldn't move into it. Not that you can move more than one section at a time. But, yes, this is Pie's design, so it's his call!

Can't do it with the other battle going on.

OoC: As we've detailed before - the +WP is added to WP, and the power essentially buffs level. So it's 10+4=14 WP, 30+4=34 power. If they both went to WP, there'd be no distinction.

OoC: Have fun, Scuba! It takes a turn to move through any territory. Hastened heroes may move through two territories.

"Not with the prince down." "How noble. Hey, little archer! It looks like Hoke will be handling himself at this point, so perhaps you can give me instructions. Interacting with the bald guy leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not enough pleases and thank yous."

Running the round now!

Chromeknight, if we could get a battle order from you, I can run the battle as soon as I sleep! ~7 hours! Sorry for a delay, folks. Would love to hear specific actions from a few more people too.

"And we happen to support Macros. Thank you for your services." Boomingham nods to the man. "Elpis, I'm ready to be herded."

I believe I asked for that to be changed in our QM PM thread, and I believe also that CMP and WBD consented to it. I was wrong. I'm sorry. You guys are right. We didn't change it. You do have to be in the same section as someone to heal them. I'm sorry, that's on me. I guess it's good that Benji will already be at full health! Damn I really did think we had changed that ruling.

No disrespect! I apologize, I thought we had ruled that (though it's possible we didn't). It's hard with three QMs - I assumed that someone else had told you guys, but if they didn't, it's on us. The same mistake was made with the horse, and with Raguel not being immune to instant death. There are some things that simply get lost when there's three people running this large of a battle.

Hm, yes, that seems right.

As for any confusion about sections - there is a picture of the bridge a while ago to be consulted, but for the time being: the sections that you are adjacent to in the listing of the party are the sections you are adjacent to on the bridge. Healing CAN take place from adjacent sections... I believe. I think we ruled that way. But CMP is the mastermind, so hopefully he can correct me if I'm wrong. Y'all've got about 7 hours before I run the round!

Boomingham only winks in response. "But I'm a very handsome rock, so it's well worth it." Boomingham grins.

OoC: Have fun! Boomingham smiles bravely at Nyx. "My dearest, for someone who is so uppity and sarcastic you seem to have failed to identify sarcasm in others. Trust me, you're herding me around more than the other way around. You know I'd get lost in these streets within a minute if you and Elpis weren't guiding me." Boomingham turns then to Skrall, raising an eyebrow, but keeping the conversation casual. "I'm glad you made the streets of the city a little cleaner, Ogre. Can't hurt. I was doing much of the same. Some crazy old witch of some sort."
