"Hehe, still a little sore over our last meeting, Atramor? I'd dish on Zane and XX if I could, but I still owe Zane one, which he constantly reminds me of, and I don't know where they went. Our ship made it all the way past the outskirts of Eubric before Zane doubled over in severe pain. Apparently some bloke he liked died? Anyway, we ended up landing a little closer to home than we would have liked. Zane went all wonky and we were kicked off the ship. He got it back together later, said we had to go to Bric'Lin, and since XX and I were with him already, we went along for the ride. Zane met with some Lord here, got me a job, and was on his merry way before you could blink twice. And yeah, I heard of the curse. Bunch of mumbo jumbo if you ask me. Anyway, if we're below the Theatre, I guess I'll just head up the stairs again, unless you guys need me for anything." [Ellaria, could he perhaps carry Phillip out of the Theatre? I believe we left him alone and unconscious on the floor above, what with all the excitement! And Russel Ruffers never leaves a man, er, or woman, behind!]

It's not really a different result if he heals himself inside or out of battle. Same with the ether count, because you took the core, but noted. And CMP's right, as the PL for the battle, you get to divide the loot. Johnny Everyman rolls over and groans. He wobbles to his feet. "Well, hello there! How are you all. Where in Hel are we, anyway? I thought that was a pretty good run through, almost got all my lines that time around, if you know what I'm saying. Did y'all destroy our stage? It looks a little worse for ware... oh, hello there Atramor, erm, how have you been?"

The gator should have hit me, I'm higher up in the battle order and so is he. That's generally how free hits work. Boomingham stumbles into the back row, rattled by the gator's attack. "Barty, I need an assist." The little angel flies to Boomingham and the two work together heal the paladin. "Everyone else, brace yourselves and keep up the attack. Arthur, distract the gator, and if he slips by you, I'll whack him." Battle Order Boomingham Arthur Arthur Em Arnulf Karie

Yes, I think at this point in the game everyone understand how parties function together. Rogues don't need to hand out gold, that would be unfair, but I think they do understand that they fill the spot in the party of buying consumables and phoenix essences, just like we now realize that the knights should, in general, carry said essences, and scrolls should go to whoever can best use them, etc. I think he's just teasing, because Sandy was (appropriately, considering how fast -paced we would be in character) particularly stringent about this rule in 66.

"Righto, listen up. Ranger, you've got the one with the silver hood, and Karie, you're on the one with that other hood. I'll deal with the gator. See if you can't make it fragile, Arthur, then you and Arnulf are on spider duty. Leave on free, it'll come to me." Boomingham brandishes Scupperer and swipes at the gator from the front.

"You want to talk about it?" ~8.5 hours in the day

Haha, perhaps its just his brisk way of dealing with Rom, Sorrow and Nyx all back-to-back.

I don't know why I keep screwing that up. If only someone else would run my battles. "WHAT YOU KILLED WAS A MERE PERVERSION OF MY TRUE BEING, A BIT OF MY SOUL SWALLOWED BY A FOOL. I AM AN ARCH-DEMON, MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS EVERYWHERE. WE DO NOT THINK AS YOU DO. I WAS NOT THERE WHEN YOU KILLED MEPHISTO ANYMORE THAN I AM HERE NOW. COME BATTLE ME IN MY RHELM, SEE HOW YOU FARE. YOU WILL BE CONSUMED, MUCH LIKE YOUR WORLD. MY BROTHER AND SISTER STILL WALK FREE."

I think that's what I was saying. And Brickdoctor fully admits that. Its others who sometimes forget.

Agreed, Hall has been lovely lately. I love Guts and Hybros being friends. Nyx will be a good addition if they become friends too. Wish I could have stuck around as well. JimBee, we REALLY have to quest together at some point again. Also, is it just me, or is Guts going down a dark road. He's always been harsh and dismissive... but... I like it, but even so.

I think we're on the same page. Also, just caught up in the Hall, and I gotta say that it's little moments like this that make me love the roleplayers in this game: I don't know why, but that line is perfectly sad to me. She denies her love of XX to Arthur, to Boomingham, to her (brother) Atramor... but she admits it to a stranger. Something about it. I don't know. Perfect for her character. Also, JimBee, I don't know if I've mentioned it ever, but Hybros' laugh is one of the best, most consistent and most defining character choices anyone has made over the course of the game. I think it is the thing that best encapsulates his character... and he is one of my favorite characters in the game. :thumbup:

OoC: Just realized you're using the older Boomingham picture! Boomingham watches Arnulf intently as he talks about the Stealer. "Bad egg," he says seriously. Barty nods just as seriously while hovering near his shoulder. His eyes wander through the ranks and lock on Karie, who seems to be having trouble breathing and is leaning heavily on Arthur. "Stand straight, dear. Take three deep breaths and then peel your body away from the private. I fear he's enjoying it too much." "Arthur is right, chappos. We've no reason to dance the dance with you, unless you're planning on stopping our passage, which I'm feeling like you might be planning on doing. So, speak now or forever hold your peace. May we continue on, or do you want to stop us?"

Yes, I know, and I strangely know that you know that not roleplaying is roleplaying ( ). Perhaps that would have been better sent in a PM: Guffington II is a roleplaying quest, for the most part. I'd like if you roleplayed, even if its your form of "not-roleplay role-play". Don't worry what the peanut gallery says, if you get into it in that way, I think we'll both have more fun. That's all!

Can't tell others how to perceive the houses. People may have a different definition of good than you, or may view things differently. ALSO: if Docken happens to come on Guffington II, there will be NO commentary on his lack of roleplaying, or commentary on his role playing if he chooses to do it. I mean, not actually, I can't actually police that, but it does bother me that he gets so much commentary on how he plays the game. I feel like sometimes we shoe-horn him into "not role playing" aka, he's got such a reputation for it, he feels obligated to adhere specifically to people's expectations. You know what I'm saying? Finally, no where in the Guffington pitch does it say you guys get to sign up as a party, or choose your own party leader. I mean... you can if you want to, but the quest won't necessarily stick to who you chose as a leader, or who you "sign up with".

OoC: Sorry, generally as PL I allow people to keep what they find, the Bomb should be Arthur's, but I never said it explicitly.

The most central conflict is capitalism v. communism though. Wolfgang is pure communist. They even have a manifesto with a rule against discrimination. Everyone should be equal. That's communism. The Houses are, on the other hand, pure Capitalism. Total laissez-faire, total Hobbes, no support for anyone. Characters siding between them are making that choice, and so the most important character trait many people pick is their economical view, though they don't realize it.

"Would have thought they'd hear us rattling. Come along, let's go see what these chaps know." Boomingham ducks under the Portcullis and walks forward, Scupperer still drawn.

A lot of the politics of this game actually do revolve around communism v. capitalism. I noticed it a long time ago. It's very interesting. EDIT: Clearly we're in a post Cold War society. It's universal, its interesting that people from all different countries still have it in their brains.

OoC: You're right. I was just thinking damage, but fixed!

Boomingham chuckles as Arthur sets to work on the electrical work. "As for me, Arnulf, I'd have to say much of the same. A mission to keep me sober. I like that." Boomingham glances over at the mage tinkering. How's that looking, boy?"
