Zepher

OoC: Just waiting for you guys to lock a plan! I'll probably run this shortly, so make sure your actions are as you'd like.

Wait, why would rolling damage have you hitting it? If you roll damage, it will hit you, but still in that case the most damage you can take is 25/2-SP, so you'll be safe! Ah, I believe you're talking about if you roll a counter. Understood.

It's up to them to sign up to the next Quest with XX. Of course I'd relish the chance to have any of my old questies embarking on another story with me. I never imagined this floor battle would cause so much contention! I also apologize for those who thought this was the real final battle- I thought it was an obvious joke, but can see how it would be misconstrued. You've still got a bit to conquer, in this quest, even if we're on the tail ends of it!

Please note that this is not actually the final fight... that was clearly a joke... because this is a f*%king floor.

Another reason I set things outside Eubric - I like to attribute extra time to travel. I agree, time IS impossible in this story, BUT we can still make minor attempts to explain it.

Yes. I guess from now on I should include "scroll immunity" or something. I keep forgetting the scroll sundering isn't technically a "negative effect" because I consider it to be very much a negative effect.

Bomb XX's ignore all SPs, even those belonging to the floor.

Floor type. No elemental strengths or weaknesses! I'll edit it in. Come on guys, this battle strategy should be pretty clear...

For those who don't get the reference. From one of the most fantastic movies ever. And, before I forget, though I figure it's pretty obvious, everyone can thank Sandy for our lovely interlude.

This is actually the final battle of the quest. Drainage Eli drains from everyone. If you hit it, it hits you back. And the Hall has magical floors. Duh .

OoC: The bow should be WP:6. Sorry. Nyx prays at the shrine. Ennoc, perhaps knowing how many Paladin friends she has, gives her his blessing. She also spies a single gold piece in the fountain. It is up to her if she wants to steal it out or not (but that will be a flashback action, sorry! got to keep trucking) Arthur locates the spire, behind the statue, and stares into it, but the chaos behind it seems strangely stretched and dark. It is possible that Wren has already started to drain the spires powers into whatever she is summoning. Hoke, meanwhile, searches the site of the massacre of Pongcanis, but can find nothing of use. <Heroes, you are to report back to the Hall. Felton, Mallelio and I will meet you there. Felton says the time is now. Please hurry.> [iNTERLUDE - EUBRIC] “This brings me back, it truly does.” “…” “Yes, it’s been a thousand years since I was last here. How different it was back then. You should have seen the splendour of Nu Mercution, the City of Night, as the pale moonlight reflected from the black marble towers. The realm of the Moon Elves was strong in its darkness, but that also made it easily corrupted by the followers of Zoot. I got to witness it first hand as the advisor of the last king of Mercution.” “…” “It was the pinnacle of the worship of Zoot. Demons ran rampant on the streets of Nu Mercution, the temples of other gods were destroyed and those who defied the Zootists were destroyed without mercy. Possessed by an archdemon, the king allowed his realm to be devoured by the creatures of the void. Things got out of hand, and I decided to quit the scene. Just in time before the Wizard Priests of Ennon came blazing with their angels and trumpets, and sunk the entire kingdom of the Moon Elves under the waves. Only these islands remain as a memento of the lost realm.” “…” “You see now how it feels for me to be back here, after all these centuries? And it is all happening again. Zoot is trying to break through the veil and enter this world. But his vessel, this woman called Wren… Bah, nothing but an amateur! She is so blinded by her dedication to chaos that she does not see that she is being used. The demons want nothing but utter destruction. There is no place for mortals in the Void.” “…” “She will fall, mark my words. When the time is right, I will show how it is done. No more hiding in the bushes, shunned by the world. It is nearly time I use the power I’ve collected to shape the world to my liking. And what better place to start from than the site of the city I once loved?” "..." [iNTERLUDE - CONCLUDED] The heroes arrive, en masse, in front of the gleaming hall. Mallelio leans heavily on his staff, and Vipera sits on Felton's shoulder. Felton stares at all of them with fierce eyes. "Hello, heroes. I think it is time that we end this once and for all. Do not you agree?" Felton wears a grin and says each word with flourish. "Ah, get on with it, will ya?" "Very well, old friend. The time for closing spires has past. Now, we must go kill Wren and whatever she has brought into this world. To do that, we must go to the temple. Unfortunately, we do not know where that temple is. Or rather, we did not know. I, however, have put together a few clues that have revealed to me where the temple is. Firstly, we went to go visit Byblos, who offered what help he could. There was, apparently, a temple in this city, long ago. It has since been lost to time, though he says that Thothwick visited it recently. This got me thinking about Drakencourt. All these old cities seem to have huge underground passages. It's how the villains there travelled. Lord Blackenord designed them, but perhaps he stole them from somewhere else. Vipera looked at the Spirit Pools under the city, and finally found the friend she was looking for." "HELLO HEROES. I AM THE GREAT DRAGON SMARAGDEA. VIPERA HAS TOLD ME OF YOUR PLIGHT, AND YOUR CAUSE. YOU ARE NOBLE, BUT I FEAR THE ONLY THING I COULD OFFER WAS THAT THERE WAS ONCE AN ENTRANCE TO THE TEMPLE NEAR ME. I DESTROYED IT SINCE THEN, BUT THE TEMPLE HIDES SOMEWHERE BELOW THE GREAT CITY." "But where below the city? I would be stumped, except Wren told us where long ago. She warned us. Heroica will fall, Zoot will rise. Do you remember, Cronk, Hans, Thothwick? It means that Heroica must fall for Zoot to rise, yes, but if we take it more literally... we need to go down. We need to find where Zoot will rise from. And that place is below Heroica Hall." The heroes are shocked. "We don't have the time to find another entrance. We need to go straight down." Felton leads the heroes inside the Hall. It is a surreal experience. A few heroes lounge about, but there is no time for them. Felton approaches Scheherazade. "What is it? What do you want?" she asks the heroes. "Do you have a basement?" asks Felton curtly. Scheherazade nods but eyes him hesitantly. "What's this about? Who are you? Why are you with the heroes?" "It's Wren," is all Felton says. Scheherazade, keeper of the Hall, the Orc who knows everyone who has passed through the doors... she just nods. If she is scared she doesn't show it, but her steps are quick as she leads the heroes and their friends down into the basement where huge cases of liquor are stored. The lighting is dim. She just nods to a corner. "Good luck," she says before disappearing into the gloom. "Well, let's get through this floor," Felton announces with a grin.

Obviously the strategy of this battle is pretty straight forward, so I'm affording you guys a chance to talk while you do it.

Yeah, I think that both Alexis and Dyric have turned the tide of more than one battle in Quest 53.

I absolutely love the film shoots, and they (well, script writing, but film in general) are what I want to go into, so, you know, I should be doing what I want to do in the future. They just sometimes takes away from Heroica, which is silly of them! Unlike classes, which are a breeze, film shoots are hard work and take forever. Just an explanation of why weekends are busy for me, but weekdays are not.

When film shoots start, so do my weekend. We had equipment check out at 11 am today, and we're shooting at 5. Beyond the personal look into the life of Zepher, this is shared to explain why on the weekends, we'll be moving slow! But, I only predict a week or two left. Update is coming your way, along with our second to last interlude.

Sandy, the Flying General has too much health in comparison with the rolls. 53, update later! Weekends are a busy time for me.

"I've met more than a few in my day as well. They're just, as you say, a bit easier to end." "Do not speak to him, Lawrence. He is unholy. Nothing good can come of the risen dead." "Scamper off, Barty." Boomingham turns to Sorrow. "Sorry, chap, don't think I caught your name." "I'm not against anyone who can command ether. I've got a bit of it in me too, it turns out. But I'm also distrustful of mages. Anyone who can turn me into a frog- no thank you. Now, I'm not saying that all magic users are tyrants, but they fight more cowardly than those of us with swords, and they can be a menace to take down. It's not their power I dislike so much as how unchecked it might go."

Sentinel and Guardian Angel are unique in that they aren't really an effect, and take place no matter what. It's one of the actually huge bonuses of being one of those classes. And that's a wrap on another two NPCs. The numbers, they are a-dwindling.

"I've met a few magic users I can trust, but most I've met haven't got a bit of honor in them. I don't trust them anymore than I do Orcs or Gods. They can change this world we live on too much, I'm not pleased with it. We must seek our own way, not morph the world to our wants. That being said, Ms. Nyx and Mr. Marvelo have proven their worth, so its clear mages aren't a lost cause."

Boomingham can't help laughing at the little girl's spunk. "We'll get your brother back, magic user or no. Don't worry, little lady." Boomingham turns to look at his party. "Let's get a move on."

It was not accounted for, but it failed anyway (rolled 5). Vonnetate's health has been corrected, but he's a cuddly little teddy bear and only has one surprise passive special.

Well, maybe if you all pinky promise to not use them I'll still consider taking you guys.

She should, your damage number has been downed, thank you!

That's okay. I absolutely can't take healing staffs on future quests with me, though.

CMP, I understand your argument, but I'm keeping it the way it is. Generally I give it to you guys, but this time I'm giving it to me. All bad things that happen to Vonnetate go away after 3 rounds. Masked Builder, I've added your gold I forgot a while ago (200). Keep an eye on me!
