"This is a nice long trip to this plane," Barty says through a smile and gritted teeth. "Yeah, well we need you, looks like." Boomingham repeats his attack.

"It's an old ship. Not used much, so it doesn't have many defenses. Most of them have been stripped and put on more active ships." The Captain clecnhes his jaw and a rumbling laugh bubbles inside of him. "Of course we're never defenseless. We do have one cannon. And I can use it." Monk Pretzel looks at the ship through his telescope. He sees the men of the ship. They appear to be in some sort of uniform, but not one that the Monk can make out from this distance. As he watches, they dump what looks like a body off the ship.

He is actually forgetting to use the multiplier for the darkness elemental spell. You would have dealt 5 damage.

This is incredibly impressive. I love the color scheme and the feel. Absolutely beautiful - I have to agree the "nose/eyebrows" and "mouth" are perfect piece usage. He's got real character!

"They always seem reasonable." The Captain looks out over the ocean, and suddenly his eyes narrow. He whips out a telescope quickly and stares into the distance before passing it to the heroes. "It's heading this way." The captain squints. "Fast. It looks to nice to be a pirate ship, but I've been wrong before." The captain turns to Daneeka and U'Voros. "Be prepared for some rough waves. They might be coming."

That's not the convention for round counting within this game. Its three rounds after round used. You didn't correct it when someone used it in the quest you're on. "Hm, more boys looking for a fight! How is it that the entire population of this city wants us dead? And the fancy pantsy Nightmaster won't even tell us what for!" Boomingham turns to Barty. "Thanks for sticking around." "Looks like you need it. I can't stick around forever, though." Boomingham repeats his attack.

OoC: I apologize for the wait. I've been too busy. A chilly breeze whips across the ship. "The guard is a soldier. I trust him. A little nervous but that's just youth." The Captain looks over at Daneeka. "Don't like machines. Don't recognize the species either. I know U'Kin, some work on the docks. They're honest and earnest. What do we know about the Doc? Not much. What is he? Why does he need the mask?"

Boomingham attacks the Outlaw from the front row. "Nasty amount of people to join in the scuffle. Thought they might be scared off by a bomb, not encouraged. Aw well, what the Hel."

I have never used the Arena Rules in PvP.

Arena is bust. Divide all damage by 10 for PvP - it's a system that works (or a system I think works, I'm still testing it out, but a second test wouldn't be bad ).

"I wouldn't trust anyone's life with that machine," the captain says quietly to the heroes and U'Voros. "I let it onto my ship, but I wouldn't trust my life to it." "The Princess will be okay don't worry about the Princess," titters U'Voros. "Hey, it's her funeral." The captain looks into the depths. "It's dangerous down there, even with air."

OoC: This is an extremely disappointing number of actions to get within 24 hours. Please make some attempt to keep up with the quest. Other people are depending on you.

"Hm, doesn't look like they care to explain their anger. Alright, then." Boomingham gives his sword a few swings. "The only fellow I talked to ran. Looks like you all need to work on your people skills. Elpis, try not to get us all killed." Boomingham turns suddenly and attacks the Lowlife from the front row.

"Arthur will keep me safe," says Ella, kissing Tarn lightly on the cheek. She turns to the Doc. "This is the spot. How do we use your device?" "Watch." He turns a knob or two, and the machine starts to hum. "Look over the side of the boat." The heroes glance over the side of the boat and see a little bubble of air pressing against the surface of the water. "Take these." He says, and hands each other them a small black pearl. "That will ensure the bubble stays with you. When you jump off the edge of the boat, aim for that, or you will be wet as you descend to the depths. The ocean is cold," he says, almost as if it were a stray observation. "Tarn, Monk, it has been a pleasure. I will see you shortly." And with that, the Princess flings herself from the side of the boat and falls gracefully into the bubble below. Arthur follows shortly after, and as they sink Daneeka fiddles with the machine and the bubble sinks with them...

OoC: Should have added "lust" to the War Dogs. But I don't believe in editing battles some of the way through. Also, I believe Flare is away. MDM, now that you're in the battle, if you could post actions for him, that'd be great! Battle for Grishnod Round 2: Tesni does nothing >Hoke v.

That will count as their turn for that round.

OoC: It has been 24 hours, but I'm missing actions from a number of people AND a Battle Order. I will wait another 4 or 5 hours and then run the round. Hopefully people check in by then!

"I am mortal, Arthur. No mortal, even one with visions, doesn't curse all the things they love from time to time." Even as she finishes the sentence, Ella's eyes roll back in her head and she goes limp for a second. She catches herself just as she slips to the ground, steadying herself on the deck. "Captain Lane. This is the spot." "Right." The captain quickly lowers the sails. "We will submerge here?" "That's right, Doc." Daneeka nods. "My machine can create a bubble that will be enough to house two people. Any more than that, and you may find yourself gasping for breath. The question, then, is who will actually go down to retrieve the book. I assume the Princess." "That's right." "Oh dear. I will be the second person of course I'll be the second person." "U'Voros, there will be no danger underwater. I have brought the heroes all this way to help me retrieve the book, I believe that one of them should go down with me." She turns to the heroes. "Would any of you like to see the bottom of the ocean?" Which hero will accompany Ella?

"My dearest daughter, I feel we've had this conversation before. These people are weak followers. They do not fear him. They just can't make choices for themselves, so they turn to him. That is why they will stay and fight us and accept their deaths as well. Weakness."

"Wonder what we did to offend the chap," Boomingham says, drinking one of his meads. "I'll make you all the offer that I generally make those who fight me. You may live and run, or stay and die. The choice is always your's, but those who stay will be killed."

"You can tell the difference. Dreams are dreams. Visions are visions. I know that isn't much help, but if you have the gift, you will know. As for the future - it is never quite fixed. Besides, visions are never exact. They are feelings, sensations, not stories, not events, exactly. We can make guesses as to what may pass, but we'll never be sure until it happens."

"Ah well," says Boomingham, and steps away from the healed werewolf. "Elpis, dearest, I think it's time that we move on. You know we have some people to meet."

Varying battle length is important. But as I and some of the other QMs have said as of late, what you're describing is really correct in our eyes. I know BD is making an effort, as am I, to keep enemies dangerous, but not terribly good survivors, for the most part. Both 84 and 92 have focused on that for me mechanically, and I feel that it's been working out pretty well. I would encourage others to try the technique, but it's hard to find the right balance and other people have other philosophies on battle design!

OoC: Troop icons coming in a few days, I seem to have misplaced them somewhere in my computer! The troops step forward. "We won't be budging either." Mint drains a Mead. Hamilton and Mint square off, and a few heroes who apparently were too pre-occupied to make up their minds step back.

Oh, no, I met Lupine I met in my most recent one (91), who looks shockingly like this sick wolf. But we can just chalk it up to being one of the things that Heroicans just don't know. Maybe they are different races, maybe they aren't, maybe it's terminology, maybe Boomingham is confused. Any are acceptable excuses.

This is a very impressive project! I imagine you're really getting your mind going with all these different builds. Very inspiring. It's nice to see a different sort of style of build from time to time, and these builds are all very unique in their plate-based feeling. Even with the unique feel, they are instantly recognizable as the animal they're supposed to be. Keep it up, man!
