OoC: Everyone who ate a cookie, I advise you note it somewhere on your Hero Statistics Page, just so you know for the future where that extra stuff came from and you don't get it taken away by accident at some point. I find it easier, personally, but it's just a suggestion, and by no means required! For example, you in particular should include it Cronk, because +power is often times lost in the shuffle when I and others run critical hits, where it should be added into your level as far as calculations go, but without it noted anywhere we have no possible way of remembering...

My next two quests will be short and with small groups. I need a break.

Lady Dolores. Spot on, you two. Spot on.

Just give my heroes a day. There's ten of them and about ten more NPCs, they've got a whopper coming their way.

If you want to see it, do it.

Oooh, I didn't actually catch the Gormenghast reference. I think you have one of the best rounded understanding of both pop-culture AND classical culture of anyone I know.

OoC: Terribly sorry, those should be Phoenix Essences... you're right. The Wren Hunters, Haddon Guard, Dastan Nobility, Dragons, and Frog Paladin stand at the ready as well, listening to the speeches streaming forth. "Lady Nyx, you've saved my life countless times. All of you are friends of Dastan. I will fight in this final battle, though I still feel fragile (perma). I will still be able to help with healing, perhaps." "I have also had enough sitting around. I think I can fight, and so I will. Wren must be taken down." "Not much more needs to be said, does it?" "No indeed. Let us go kill a lunatic." Phil nods grimly, swallowing a Mead and rubbing his Dragon Scale. Vipera licks Hoke's face, and Poletad hops up on Skrall's shoulder, but glances over at Nyx and nods his appreciation for her. Hans claps Thothwick and Skrall on the back. "There's a great many things in this life I've not enjoyed. Fighting alongside you folks ain't one of them." "Lead the way, Cronk. We may be walking to our deaths, but I plan to give a good fight first, at least. There are no people I would prefer to die with, or, in more hopeful terms, live alongside." OoC: Cornelius, you may ask other heroes to dictate actions of specific NPCs if you'd like (since there is now a bucket load of them) and whenever you're ready, bold that you walk through that door!

OoC: Flare, we counterstrike. You did not actually apply my damage, and did not make note of Nagure's.

I think some of it may be that Sandy used to address heroes more as those characters. The game has grown so large it is hard to do now, but if you read early posts Schezerade would interject from time to time, and shop keepers would make commentary on some of their patrons. They no longer do this, and understandably so, though I do miss it.

Some names: Wren is from the bird and also probably from Catch-22 unintetionally. Doc Daneeka is from Catch-22 intentionally. Guffington is a play on The Great Gatsby, with "ington" at the end because I always use that to make people rich. Felton is from Tom Felton (who know's why?!) Hans from Hans Landa (again, related approximately 0% to the character his name was ripped from), Poletad for obvious reasons- U'Vires and U'Stus are from latin, deriving from truth and justice respectively, Sphinx was summoning the Chimera, XX came from me using that as a filler when planning the quest, and then keeping it, Triad and Bal were both last minute decisions (Triad named after the park, Bal after Bail Organa)... I don't know what else. Haddon is from Captain Haddock in the Tintin comics... Vipera is also latin, though I don't remember exactly what names I mashed up for it- same goes for Triad's species, that's like three latin words jumbled up... So, from all over really! EDIT: I think I've mentioned it before, Vonnetate is named after Vonnegut, who again bears approximately 0 similarities with the character. I could thing of more. Pigley is named after a throw-away line from the show Archer. Russel... I don't quite recall, but he's a reference to something too. McColt just sounded gruff to me. You can see I engage in a huge amount of different medias.

I won't give anything big away, but this is ONE of the few fights I tweaked since the start of the Quest... and guess which friendly evil QM inspired the change.

OoC: Was mainly seeing if anyone would heal Phil, but as Atramor pointed out he shouldn't have taken damage, so, here we go! Chaos Temple Battle Round Seven >Arthur v. Chaos Beast of Life - Special Damage Critical Hit - ([12*2]+20=44) Hans v. Chaos Beast of Life - Damage (2) (+100 health) Vipera makes Haldor Lucky - Haldor v. Chaos Beast of Life - Damage Special Damage (4) (+25 health) Haldor v. Chaos Beast of Life - Hit Special Damage (40) Cronk v. Choas Beast of Life - Shield Hit (Angel) Just realized that it can't deal damage on it's own... so this is a pretty done deal... I'm going to skip ahead, if no one minds terribly (Alexis, Dyric, this may be costing you a little gold, so I rolled for you this round - Alexis got two shields, and so gets 40 gold).

Nagure and I counterstrike on free hits, dealing damage equal to our level (divided by 2 if we're in the back row, which we weren't). Boomingham chuckles at the small critters as he carves a path through them. He repeats his attack.

Boomingham smiles. "Back to fighting animals. If only Atramor or Hybros could see me now. Time to do some damage." Boomingham unsheathes his Frozen Sabre and swings at the Giant Rat Leader from the front. OoC: Just realized, I should also be counterstriking, but it's not listed in my "statuses". Might want to pop it in there so you don't forget, I know I sure would!

Have you officially talked to Sandy yet? I'm sure he'd okay it, but you might want to send in a proposal using the format everyone else does.

I do it the same way as Flipz and BD, so I agree that I repeat isn't quite as useful, but with Flipz compiling things... I can't really complain. That being said, Flipz, the battles you've helped condense/run are much more complicated than most battles, so in most cases repeats are fine.

You lovely people have an angel! Change plans accordingly.

From the way that you've spoken about Stirlance, he's always seemed sort of dead to me, as if he was a great playwright of the last generation (the tome of his plays just seems like it would HAVE to come out after his death, because most people just don't have that great of success while they're alive ). I will be scripting the quest involving him (only loosely involving him) as if he were dead... but, if you or anyone really wants him alive, then please speak up now before I kill him for everyone.

"Which one is Alexander?" Boomingham whispers to his little floating companion. Barty shrugs. "You're the one who is supposed to interact with all these miscreants. I'm only supposed to interact with one miscreant. You." "Damn young boys. Can't keep any of them straight. None of them even bothered to introduce themselves, though they all some how knew my name. That's the trouble with fame, I suppose." "Or infamy. The elf said that the undead abomination was named Sorrow." "That's fitting."

"Fly down there, would you, Barty?" "I'm not flying down anywhere in the dark. That hole is not a safe one." Boomingham shrugs and waits to see what will happen. He watches as the undead talks into the hole. "You think the frogs will be able to understand you? Shouldn't we ask them in their own tongue? Can anyone here speak Frog?"

"Hope a bird didn't snatch him up and eat him." Boomingham glances up. "Barty, want to fly up and see if there are enough rocks jutting out for him to hop up. Sancho, hunter, where does the trail go?"

More elemental enemies is a necessity. I am going to include them in all of my future quests in great numbers, aka whenever it makes even somewhat logical sense. Sandy, I have a few questions for you while planning my next quest. You've talked about Stirlance twice now. Do you have any plans for him? I think both of my two next quests are going to be a lot of fun and VERY zany. I'm super excited for them, though I'm taking a few months off before launching them.

Would induction into the masons remove a player's ability to be inducted into the scum? I too am wrestling with time commitment. I really want to play... but I'd hate to not be an asset to any team. Is there a way I could be a SK again.....
