Zepher

She labels herself as one... doesn't mean she is.

I hope you get it. We need more heroes who own ships. Also, 53ers: I'm sorry. But I'm also not.

OoC: What a fitting two heroes. Final Battle Round Four Wren: (+4 level, +40 health, +2 ether) Vipera makes Nyx lucky - Success (2) McColt hastens Cronk - Success (2) >Mallelio heals Poletad - Heal More (Full Health, -1 ether) >Mallelio uses Scroll of Confusion on Chaos Beast F - Failure (6) (-1 ether) Atramor v.

Haldor v. Hans v. Chaos Beast of Death Felton v. Chaos Beast of Death Phil v. anything left Gnash v. anything left The heroes charge forth. Cronk bashes Chaos, because that is what Skrall does. Wren's body jerks as the swirling mass covering the once proud Gray Wizard falls. Skrall upholsters his bow, notches an arrow, and lets fly at the Dark Woman. The pay off is what he imagined. The arrow buries itself in her chest, and she stands rigidly... her eyes flutter shut for only a moment before blasting open once more. Darkness swirls in the place of her once beautiful eyes, it seems to reach out, starts to envelope her body and tendril towards the heroes. Her voice echoes itself. "Isn't it beautiful, heroes? Chaos never dies."

"Not everything I've ever cared about has died. Chaos lives forever."

Wren speaks up, but her voice is failing. She seems to struggle with her words. "I do not wish to be, or care about being a mirror to anyone. I feel, Atramor. I feel more than any of you ever have or will."

I actually imagine Boomers with hair, but couldn't find any that I liked, so here he is for now.

Yes. I also think we as a whole need to be more sparring with loot. At the beginning of the game we were all so excited, we wanted to give out tons of unique items and powers, but now some heroes have ridiculous stats and more artifacts than they can equip. I feel like these could take the place of everyone thinking up a new insane item/effect.

Permenant. Giving out just one a quest would be great. There are lots of weapons that could use it. If Ratsbane, for example, blinded people as well, well, that'd be great: it would be great loot (player happy), easy to balance for (QMs happy), using mechanics we already know (game happy). It's really a win-win-win.

Big loot drop suggestion: I'm sure that my fellow QMs (along with me) are having a little trouble keeping weapons/loot manageable and unique. The four big ones (gold, gems, weapons, consumables) are ALWAYS good, and I really think we need to see more of them (more and more gold, or hosting will become harder and harder as more and more unique stuff pops up). However, I think there is ANOTHER good good item we could add to the mix: status causers. "A Honing Stone of Stunning", for example, once applied to a weapon, would give it the ability to stun people. They could be combined with already in use weapons, but would be great drops. I'm not saying they should be common, maybe one per quest at most, but they're really nice loot that's not game breaking, not OP, encourages further strategy/character optimization, and don't introduce any new mechanics that people would have to memorize/learn. Just a thought.

They will not. Drops drop at the end of the battle... right?

"Let's crush this vermin. Yeti, I have you. Sorrow, keep up the fight. You too elf and Sancho." Boomingham heals Nagure from the front row.

Eh, you rolled good rolls the first time anyway. Atramor, your health (+2) has been added. As always, check me.

Chaos Beasts roar, and the entire temple seems to shake. Hoke blasts Sphinx. He stumbles, falls, and lets out a quiet breath while looking Nyx in the eye. His final act is a nod, acceptance, forgiveness, thanks, whatever it may be, and then he keels over. Cronk's Angel, perhaps sensing the near defeat of the Chaotic Being, flies in.

Eh, what the hell, I'm almost done hosting so should have the time to put in. Hopefully. 1) I've played a game or two. Sometimes with you. 2) I've already made some commentary on the rules, but they seem pretty good to me. Alternatively, if you changed the rules so everyone was a SK with the win condition of killing everyone else, I'd play that game. 3) Eh. I usually come on pretty strong. No pussy footing. Unless I feel like it that game.

I actually have to agree. Hosting a Black Knight, if I had to change just one class, it would be that one. The gold from last round has been added, and Wren's specials have been amended. This is a quick moving fight, I love it!

OoC: Ran this round in a rush, I know I neglected to add the gold calculations, but figured you could still plan the next round without them, and I could come back and add them! EDIT: Gold added, Wren's attacks changed.

My action post is amended.

53- No time for an update tonight, and I'm traveling home for Spring Break most of tomorrow. So it's looking like tomorrow evening is our best bet, though I'm also hopeful about tomorrow morning (I might be able to snag some time). Just a heads up!

I personally believe PvP would be better if we used the normal damage calculations. Would it be outrageously quick? Yes. Would some classes have a distinct advantage? Yes. Would it be intriguing? Yes.

OoC: Holy hell, that's a lot of assassinations. I've never seen such luck. With the consequence of possibly setting us back... you know it's a 1 in 6 chance, and that roll is not effected by lucky, right? Just making sure. I apologize, I see now he killed them the old fashion way. Boomingham wheels on the Demon Frog. "Someone trade with me. It's time to deal with this frog. No one strike the weakest rat, let him come to me. Yeti, you're on a frontal assault with me, get one of the biggies. Sancho, undead- er, Sorrow, you two are in the back hitting the bigger hitters. The elf and archer should pick off the smaller fellows. Forward march, chaps!" Boomingham uses his Frozen Sabre to bear down on the Frog.

I want to be on one of those.

I have already indicated what specials she'll have for round one, so I will warn you in advance each round. And yes, all those and the Magician as well. Please also note that Wren will gain her level/ether/health BEFORE each round, so she will be capable of dealing damage next round.

The heroes step inside and are greeted by, as they expected, Wren. "Hello, heroes," she says a little teary eyed. "I'm so glad you're here. I was worried you wouldn't make it. There's no one I'd rather to be here for my coronation. I'm a little teensy bit nervous, to be honest, I'm glad you're around." Sphinx stands in the background, muttering, eyes downcast. In front of him is the Gray Wizard, or what remains of him. Darkness swirls where his body once was. "Well, heroes. There's not much to do now, is there. I assume you're here to stop me from killing Zoot. We are at his alter, by the way." She jerks a thumb backwards. "A pretty good place to kill a God, right? His own alter. In his own temple. Some poetic justice! Ha!" She still appears nervous. There is her normal twinkle in her voice, but it wavers. She is sad. "I'm not going to fight him face on, by the way. That's silly. All that Zoot will rise stuff... well, in that little statement, I'm Zoot. Zoot himself is just an old rag, or he will be shortly. See, Gods are notoriously hard to kill, because their immortal and have multiple personalities and bits and pieces. You've seen that. So I've come up with a little plan. I'm going to just swipe the rug out from under his feet. The Gray Wizard, it would have been better with Ella, but oh well, is going to channel Chaos itself. He's collecting it. Funneling it. From where, you ask? From EVERYWHERE!" Now Wren seems more excited. "It's all pouring into him. He will get it all. He's wearing the Amulet of Gods, you see. And Sphinx is channelling all this Chaos into him. And I've got this buu-tee-full Spitirus Intendere I picked up in Dastan. So I control it. I control it all. Do you see now how we can kill Zoot?! We just take all of his power, and store it where I have it. Pretty smart, right?!" Wren chuckles to herself and wipes away a tear from earlier. Pretty smart, right?! "And of all the places to start... Eubric is just teeming with the stuff! Well, shall we have our final battle, heroes? I think it's time. I'm ready to start feeding off the Chaos and sucking Zoot dry. Heroes, watch as I become a Queen and Goddess, and stop me if you can. I bid this world adieu as I am, but will return soon to view its beauty, its Chaos... forever. Or die." Wren aims the Spiritus Intendere at the remains of The Gray Wizard, and it begins to drain something from him. Wren shudders and goes limp, though she remains standing. The Chaos and Chaos Beasts step up to protect her. Sphinx looks up from his muttering. He moves flawlessly, but his eyes stare into the heroes'. "Kill us," he says. "The Gray Wizard and I. Spare us this misery, as we cannot spare ourselves." Chaos growls at Sphinx and growls at the heroes and the battle is on.
