:laugh_hard: Pie, sometimes you just make me laugh.

He wouldn't risk that... if you made that risk apparent enough early enough to stop him. And yeah, that's why it'd be no fun - no matter how powerful I try to make Boomingham, you can (and will) scale Masson so that there's no point in a fight. I'm on board for the quest, but I don't know if Boomingham could handle it and still stay the character he is. He's a little bit of a softy, though. I think it's because I'm a huge softy in real life. I'd absolutely and 100% allow any and every enemy to walk away after a fight. I know for a fact. I debated killing Lupine, but it made me too sad. Genuinely. Hate/love being invested in characters. Funny how your brain works that way.

Boomingham sighs. "You knew how this was ending, Lupine. Some men don't seem to understand that there are consequences for their actions. When you attacked us, you signed on to your own death." Boomingham brings his blade down harshly - severing Lupine's sword arm. "Stop his bleeding, Barty," growls the Paladin and the Angel grumpily but dutifully flies over and spends an ether healing the werewolf. Boomingham turns to Lupine. "If you crawl back to the Wolfgang, tell Baba I'm coming for her. If you go your own way, I wish you luck."

He's slowed this round, nothing to post. And I know you wouldn't mind, think of all the role playing it would give to BOTH of us. But Endgame may need him, and HE can pretty effectively keep him alive if he so chooses.

That's what I'm saying. Boomingham would try to kill him until he's dead or Masson's dead. So Masson would be in a live and kill or die and don't kill sort of situation.

I'm game, though I don't know if I'm ready to say good bye to Boomers quite yet. It'd be the end of one of them, and since you can boost your stats as much as you want, and I can't (and I don't think you want Masson dying), I think Masson would end up killing Boomingham. I'd like to see Strivvi before I die, and yell at Baba a bit more, and then I'm all your's.

I'm glad Atters and Boomers have a similar stance on traitors to the party. The two of them should go on a quest with Arthur and Karie.

She explained that they wanted to demolish it, but the ghost kept preventing it. I think... EDIT: Found it.

"Yeah, I know who you are, kid," grumps Geezard. "There's always something interesting happening in the hovels. It's our job to make sure that it keeps happening in the Hovels and not the rest of the city." "Oh, Hoples, don't even get me started on him. You're the hero that helped him keep his job," Giselle shrugs. "Ah well. Nothing wrong with going to the Oracle's Shrine, I guess. Don't understand why she keeps it in there, I'm sure the houses would be willing to pay and build her a newer one in a nicer part of town." The guards open the gates for the heroes and quickly slam them shut after them. U'Voros looks over his shoulder at the wall as he continues to lead the way. "When you were in Dastan, Tarn, you helped us destroy Emperor Brunt's wall when you were in Dastan. It separated us U'Kin and other 'lesser' races from the humans. Why do you not help destroy this wall as well?"

I actually do always take those job traits into consideration when it comes to NPCs. The traits are there, may as well give the people rewards if they're smart enough to use them. But I'm probably biased because I have Diplomacy.

Okay, so it is just the one roll. Awesome, thank you!

Oh, hosting Guts isn't that much fun. He's just mopey and bald the whole time and doesn't get along with any of the NPCs.

It doesn't explain how rolling for it works, though. I guess I should be assuming two rolls for two separate attacks... though I thought I read differently somewhere. It's it essentially just a limited hastened, then?

Can someone explain to me how Duel Strike works exactly? You roll one die for both hits, right? What if you roll damage on that roll - are you hit only once, or twice?

Haha. I know, I just really want all my pals to come along... not that I'm not super excited for the party we have. And with 85 coming to an end, and 91 seeming like a short quest...

Kintober is always fun to host... if we need an extra hand for Strivvi II....

"I have never met that great Dragon, no, but I have heard of a group of heroes curing her. Relationships are good between the Rito, Dragons and the Empire, but that does not mean that we mingle much though relationships are good. I am glad you have been to Dastan as well and that makes me glad. Those who have been tested by my land are truly strong." "Not exactly, but that's not too far off either. It is said that when the world was much younger there was a Prophetess and a Warrior when the world was much younger. The Prophetess had visions of far away places often, and saw in the visions beauty and wonder in lands such as Baltarok, Ennon, Dastan, the Lion Knight Empire, Xu. The Prophetess wanted to sail to them, but the world was much more dark and dangerous then, and less was known, of course less was known and the Prophetess did not feel safe. The Prophetess wished a companion to keep her safe, but all the knights in the Prophetess' land were too afraid to go with the Prophetess until a childhood friend of the Prophetess' named the Warrior stepped up and agreed to sail with the Prophetess." "There are hundreds of stories of their adventures there are hundreds of stories. As you may imagine, the Prophetess and Warrior saw every land on Olegia and in the process fell in love. The two saw many wonders - the old Great Dragons, the Ancient and True Paladin Order, the Lifespark, the Old Gods, the Chimera itself." "Sadly, at the end of the tale there was a force that they could not overcome, that the Warrior could not fight and the Prophetess did not see. Their ship, sailing between Ennon and Dastan, was hit by a huge wave and was destroyed and they drowned. With them, in a chest, it is said they carried a book detailing all their travels. It contains many wonders of days gone by, drawn and detailed with writing. This is, of course, only a fairy tale... but Lady Septrine had been visited by bad dreams that are telling her otherwise." The heroes arrive at the gates of the Hovels just as the story is completed. "Name and business," grumbles the old watch man.

"I'm with you, Ellaria. Hybros, let's finish this." Hybros and Boomingham both repeat. Same Battle Order

OoC: That's the way the phrasing of Mirror Sentinel looks.

I have watched all of LOST, enjoyed all of LOST, and will let LOST rest in its sweet grave.

For some reason. My finale's title remains "Once Upon a Time..." so you'd probably be correct in noticing that.

Kintober, I think we'd all appreciate an attempt to stay on the 24 hourish update cycle. I know it's not your fault what with the power outage, but we have been in this one battle for almost a month now.

OoC: I believe for Duel Strike I'm only actually supposed to roll one die - sorry about that.

I have heard much about you and the other heroes I've heard much about. The noble Thothwick who insisted on there being a U'Kin leader of the Dragon Knights, the powerful Nyx whom you saved Mallelio alongside, and of course the man Atramor, who is painted as gray but whom Lady Septrine respects." The U'Kin bows back. "But I believe I have heard of Tarn Valco the most." "If you would all be so kind to follow me if you'd be so kind," the U'Kin says as he begins to lead the heroes towards the Hovels. "I will admit that I am surprised that so many heroes signed up to track down a fairy tale. I would be bereft if I spoke ill of the royal family I'd be bereft, but even so I believe that Lady Septrine is dreaming of stories from her youth, and not the truth I believe." The U'Kin glances back at the confused heroes. "Are the tales of The Prophetess and the Warrior not common here in Uland are you not familiar with the tales? They are very popular in Dastan- told to the children of the Empire and the Rito Nation alike. Some say that even the Dragons tell the tales to their young. Do you know them?"
