OoC: I'm sorry, that's actually an artifact from the round I ran incorrectly, he should still be up with five health!

You mean the battles are challenging. That must be difficult.

Logically, perhaps he wouldn't strike back, but the counterstrike gloves probably would as described mechanically! It doesn't happen a ton in the game, but once in a blue moon, to keep things simpler and more concise, we forgo specific logic and apply a blanket mechanic.

OoC: And you guys even discussed it! Sorry, I must have glossed over that, I just read Hoke's "repeat" and counted that as his battle order too. And Hoke also remedied Tesni, which means he can't have gotten that shield I gave him. Damn. This is why I generally don't try to run two rounds in one day - I always do one too tired. I'll fix a bunch of stuff now.

The rolls this battle have been all over the place.

OoC: MDM, I don't mind nudges if they come in after or even near 24 hours, but rounds do take time to run, and I do have a life to live. I post when I can, but Heroica is never my #1 priority - I had to go to class, eat dinner, and pound out a few hours of HW. And yes, Sisco is on track for XP - I want to see effort, which I have been seeing, so even if it ends up being under a little half both Jess and Tesni look like they'll be gaining XP from the battle. I will speak to this more after the quest.

Though he is clearly tired he swings his sword mightily, first drawing a huge mark across Benji's reptilian belly, causing the giant beast to collapse and return to human form, and then stabbing at Nerwen.

Wow! These are actually very impressive! I LOVE the hair on the second figure - that little cut in the front is adorable and actually ties the whole face together, along with the hanging bits over the ears. The boots on all of them are also awesome, though I think the third pair are my favorite. The first figure is the only one I feel falls a little flat - the hair, for one, simple doesn't flow in the way the others do (I think you were right in the others going for "shape" instead of "strands") and the hat is too raised (though the tips of her stockings are a great and impressive touch!). Really impressive work, I'm a conformist!!

"We will see you then, my friend. Though I'll have to have my daughter write it down in her book of appointments and aspirations. My head is like a rotten apple, all this gunk always falls out."

"I'd be interested, and my companions generally have their ears open when I speak. As I said, that young beauty is my daughter," Boomingham points to Ellaria, frowning and then smiling as he sees her speaking with the others, "and she already seems to have made friends with your friends. The boy over there at the bar knows to do what I say - and I have found, with time, that's he's also a likable enough chap. The little lady beside him is someone I trust with my life. Sometimes, she agrees to my plans, too. As for the Ogre-" a shrug- "well, what won't he do for some gold? Where should we find you, my friend, and when?"

"Your brother sounds a great bit like the King I used to know." Boomingham licks his lips again. "And you sound quite a bit like a better alternative. Tell me, Macros, is there anything I can do to help you? You're plans sound like they were made to get specifically at my heart, so I wouldn't mind giving a helping hand if there's one to give."

"A traveller? That's certainly a more romantic view of my profession. A traveller." Boomingham bites into the offered fruit. Juice runs down his cheek and settles in his beard. It will certainly be sticky later. "I... well, I'm not a captain among my men. But my daughter is, and I taught her all she knows. And I still carry some weight, of course." Boomingham looks down at his stomach and laughs. "Perhaps you can see that, huh, chappo?" "I'd have to agree with you - a bar is generally better than most other places in the entirety of Olegia. When I was- when I lived under a King he frequented the bar quite a lot. Quite a lot. Of course, he had money to blow." Boomingham licks his lips and then smacks them together a few times. "Sweet. I must tell you, Macros, that I've quite a passion for politics. So, let's hear it - why are you more deserving than your brother? I don't doubt you are, of course, Hel, you seem a likable and even-minded chap, but tell me what you'd do with the city!"

Healing staffs always ruin my day!

You say that as if you were not part of Heroica.

"Well, no need to be snippy. That was an easy ten gold. If we switched spots I would have thanked you for the ten gold with a sloppy kiss." Boomingham gets out of his chair. It squeaks in relief. "Ratabor, Mlle. Ruby, Purple, Russus, Ogre-" it was clear that Boomingham had trouble in general with the nicknames they'd picked, "have fun with this chap." Boomingham walks over to Marcos and gives a salute. "Howdy there, Macros. How are you? I imagine you don't remember me. Blackhood. I'm from the High Kingdoms. Sword for hire. We met, a long while ago, very briefly. Luckily I've got a brain for faces and names. Last I was here you and your brother were both vying for the high and mighty position of visocount. How goes it? I imagine not too well, if you're sparring in a bar."

Boomingham bites on his cheek. "Seems we're not as friendly as we thought, boy-o." Boomingham tosses ten gold onto the counter. "An easy one for you, hopefully. The political state of Strivvi. Who do the armored chaps serve? Last I heard Macros and Maxis were both looking to put themselves into power, but surely there have been elections by then? Or is it still a bit of a split?"
