Zepher

Well, we caught a scumbo. Nice work, via... I assume. The numerous other possibilities suggested are also all pretty much possibly valid. Hell, in theory he could have been converted and killed all in one go. It's too bad that we don't know which of the two teams he was on- that could give us a more serious insight into what situation we're in. There are a few people pinging my radar. Lil' Scouty has yet to really say anything useful. He's playing with the make fun of Lil' Nutty Nut (who deserves it, admittedly) but isn't doing much else in the form of thinking. Interestingly enough, he is saying that Danny's case against him was bull. Trying to clear himself because a scum accused him, but we know that's not a valid defense because the scum might not know each other. Yesterday when accused of not being helpful he said "why not go after someone else who doesn't speak... like Lil' The Boy Wonder." Enough deflecting suspicion, tell us what you think, Scouty! And just because I'm gunning for him doesn't mean that I'm not looking at you other non-speakers! Everyone speak up, or you'll be next. Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone, Without a dream in my heart, Without a love of my own, Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for, You heard me saying a prayer for, Someone I could care for.

"You with the ears, leave that man alone. Let him come to me." Boomingham unsheathes Scupperer and swirls around, angling in at Dimon from the front row.

Flu is a great excuse! Don't worry about us, get better, take as long as you need.

OoC: Is that all of us? Are we waiting on someone?

[30*2*2*2]+[10*2*2*2]=320 damage all. And a perfectly healed party next round. And the potential to do more damage this round. That's the base amount of damage you're doing to her. And since she will be the only party member standing, all free hits will be directed towards her. Remember how you complained when I "twisted around the only helpful shield".

They do. Always have. We can make note of it if need be. Gotta love that brain of your's, CMP. This is actually better than lobbing them at her, because the "blow back" damage also hits Wren!

OoC: Not happy to see Buzzy? "I'll admit, Atramor, I'm neither as clever nor as brave as you. Let's blow this place up."

Actually, you should still have the ether when you come back. That was my mistake. Fixed!

You finally finally rolled my two favorite Chaos in Eubric results.

OoC: Just clarification for the future, CMP (or whoever actually owns that Jester's Hat): you must (may) re-clarify what you want immunity from EACH round. Normally I'd assume you'd keep the same immunity, but because you're targeting Felton this round, technically you get one of his immunities. Also, the Chaos Beast of Death should be dropping nothing. I apologize for leaving the Cookies there. The Beasts of Life WILL still be dropping Essences. Tried to give you some help with strategizing around the Wren Swap this round, because it could be super important...

The battle continues. More heroes fall under the onslaught that is Wren, but Cronk still stands strong, and hope is certainly not lost. Cronk's Angel flies in... but seems to be protecting him and the enemies... Luckily Wren is not under the angel's protection this time, it appears, but neither is the party.

"Better trade that incense with someone on our side, Cronk. Do not toss it over there. I suggest that everyone attack Wren, and then whoever has the incense uses it at the end of the attacks. That way, everyone will be revived to full health if she hits them, and if she doesn't hit them, they'll hit her. Once everyone who is downed wakes up, they can hit her for a second round of goes."

Poor Hans. Headless and still fighting by any means possible. Round in about an hour, y'all!

Haha, yes, this is true, though your husband begging for his brother's life is a little different than just following his ideas.

I didn't say it wasn't sensible. I said it was unexpected. Generally, when people's husbands beg them to save their brother's lives, they do. Hestia did not. That's unexpected. It is often (in my opinion) a mistake in literature to assume that character will or should make logical choices. Hestia made an unexpected choice in not saving Reno, even if it was the right one. Doesn't mean it's poor writing, but it does reveal something new about her character. She had the power, her husband begged for a life to be spared, and she maintained her power and said no. As the QM, you are in the unique position of, yes, being able to reward him.

Maybe another QM will lead a quest to hunt him down. Let Hybros have his revenge and Hoke have his flag pole. The quest would only be the two of them, of course. Good near-ending to 58, Sandy. Very sad, very interesting. Your characters always make choices that surprise me. Hestia letting someone die is a whole new angle on her. I like her less... but love the story all the more!

Last round edited to reflect Phil's proper health, who should have which weapon, and the Life Beast's letters. Next round will run soon!

Ah, sorry, I switched them back when the I thought you were going to, and then never remembered to switch them back when you said you hadn't. I'll fix it next round.

OoC: He was intending to drink it while seated, yes. He has other meads, I wanted him to drink the bar's mead in the bar. I generally have him "sip" on drinks throughout a scene. Boomingham looks up in confusion. "Aye, chaps, I'd love to play but it looks as if my friends have gotten themselves into a little trouble. If you'll give me a few moments." Boomingham rises from the table, finishes his drink, and tosses the bottle towards the fighters where it shatters (hopefully on one of them or something). "Don't worry, boys, papa is coming to play."

Hopefully that woke Cronk up. Sorry all, the dice weren't with you this round. This is why you have an incense.

Yes, Lil' Pal hit the nail on the head. How you can still be confused now that def has published the PM is confusing to me.

TrumpetKing, how are you so impossibly bad at reading?! You think that I changed what I thought my role said? And to a power role? Why did you think that? How did you think that? I don't feel the need to cast a vote for you (your fate is sealed), but I can't say I'm sorry to see you go. As I said earlier, if we're going to lose a townie day one, it may as well be one who seems to be acting against us. So, scum or unhelpful townie... adios. If you want to write a song about the moon Walk along the craters of the afternoon When the shadows are deep And the light is alien And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement And you want to write a song about the moon

Boomingham tosses 11 gold onto the counter and picks up one of the home-brewed meads. He makes his way over to the card players, giving the Orc an evil glare as he walks by. "Mind if I join?" he asks, though he is already sitting before they can respond. "What are we playing?"

Guts is so badass. What a great line, Guts "you owe me your life, I'm taking it back". Just perfect. I do feel really bad for those old pirates though. It's a transit day. Update after my 8 hour bus ride!

I don't think your scum, necessarily. I think you're just very bad at reading. Perhaps even worse at it than this little Earthling. I'll be flying to the moon today- er- be busy doing normal Earthling stuff like bussing back to school or something.... and as voting is mandatory, I don't want to be caught with my tentecles out... I mean pants down. For now, following the logic of voting for one of the quiet floaters, I will Vote: Lil' Scouty (Scouty). This vote may change, but he strikes me as very quiet when he could be very vocal!

I am town. I believe you're right, Lil' Hinck. I did just misread, and perhaps no one pounced on me so much as asked for clarification. I'm just pushing their buttons to see if they pop! That's how we Earthlings work, right? I also realize how it could be seen as me trying to use my role PM to my advantage. Wasn't my intention, so I apologize to Lil' Cecile and Lil' Trumpeteer. Was just trying to see what happened, even if it just sprung forth from me not being a competent reader. We gotta stir this pot somehow, see what scumbos float to the surface. Over the next few hours, I'm going to be too busy howling at the moon to really respond. Sorry all. Oh, these Earthling customs.
