The third Guffington Quest will be stopping in Dastan, as of right now, though of course nothing in set in stone. For those curious, I'm trying to have the second Russel/Guffington Quests have no references to the Wren Saga, though right now my intentions are to have the third and final quests of both of those trilogies incorporate characters from the Wren Saga who survive. Then we'll move on to my final Quest of all three of those stories- which will be another monster, but is still at LEAST a year away. Atramor does have a note for Tarn from her! And like I said, Guffington should be stopping by Dastan, maybe next Winterish? Says he who ran the 6 month quest.

So... Guts worships Pseudo, or no? I think Guts and Boomingham have a very similar philosophy on life. The phrasing of some of the things they say is almost exactly the same.

I don't like setting things in Eubric. The city is beautiful, but I'm afraid of messing things up with the bigger story. And I thought it was in Grogmas Gifts, and I KNEW it was in relation to something that we hadn't seen but had occurred in a quest. When will that side quest ever be published? I want to see it! I'm starting to very seriously start scripting my next few quests, which will both premiere in early June! Small parties (3 and 4 respectively, I think), but I think they'll be fun!

Hello all! I've got a question. There was, at some point, a mention of tickets to a play in Bric'lin, right? Well, does anyone remember what those were, and how they came up, and any more information about them? I feel like Sandy wrote them, and they were a gift to one of the PCs. And yes, one of my future quests is likely to contain a play!

I actually thought about that after I posted it, but thought it would be fine as it was. Of course Pandy caught me. Now I'm off to go fix those battle results, but only because you said please!

OoC: Due to targeting Vonnetate, you're still enraged and cannot be in the back row.

It means he can't be made lucky. Jebs is making a political statement about something he does not think is right in the game, because the one thing Heroica is missing is charged passive aggressive statements. Welcome back, Jebs!! I hope I get to host for you this time around, I really want Nur to go on a quest with me, he's a superb character. I'd also love to have him and Boomingham chat more. Really, I just think Nur is one of the most inventive characters. Sarrick, welcome back as well!! Nagas are awesome, can't wait to see what else you've got for us.

Last day for voting, all! I'm also on set from sunrise to sunset, and then at sunset I'm sleeping because I haven't for days- so expect an update tomorrow and not today, sorry heroes!

Of other people's villains, I was a huge fan of the Maa'ri. They were beautifully handled both times they appeared. They were complex, and their betrayal was genius. That was one of the (if not THE MOST) saddest Heroica moments for me. Issac Shawe is also great, even though Docken likes to pretend that he can't roleplay. And Baba, of course. Deals with the devil are always superb. Of my own - I actually like my cast of villains a lot, and have had fun with most of them. XX probably remains my favorite, though. I'm happy he was left alive. Like Sandy said, I really don't think ANY of my villains are purely evil. Vonnetate is perhaps the only exception, and probably Draco too, but he was so long ago, who remembers him?

As in... what? Who do I love to hate the most, or who do I think is best of my villains, or which of my villains I hate to play as the most? Or of the villains I've faced, which ones do I dislike most? Be specific, damn it!

Crazy ol' Zepher has done it again, folks. Too overzealous as always. Sandy and I will get back to you!

Well, I'd actually be looking for QMs to host quests entirely independent of me! We'd sort through all the requests for personal quests together, and then pick our favorites and each host a small quest for that person/small party. That way we could include more people's personal quest requests without me having to come up with like, four stories and host four quests at one time! But they'd be small quests, and not too much work. We'll see when the time is closer, but I think it would be fun!

Correct you are! You should actually be at 30. Fixed.

TWO (That's right, TWO) exciting announcements! 1) Voting for the awards ends.... TOMORROW. So, please, if you play and haven't voted, vote. The awards will be fun and we have lots of votes in, but the more, the merrier, and there are quite a few of you who play hard but have yet to vote!! 2) I am considering (only considering at this point, but very seriously considering) running two PERSONAL quests at the end of the summer (Think: July or August). These quests would be VERY SHORT (2 to 3 battles tops, probably a month long at most). They would explore a specific character's backstory or be a quest I think would be seminal to them. The way they'd work would be this: people would send me applications with character information they want to explore more/character traits they want to develop, and I'd pick out of those and make a quest around that. These quests would be custom made and for a purpose you chose, but would still be designed entirely by me. They would also be available to teams of two or three, if people could think up a god enough reason (EX: Tarn and Nyx go back to Dastan and meet with Ella/XX - would be for two, would develop both of their characters, but I'd still come up with the actual plot). Would people be interested in this, and would a few other QMs be willing to also consider hosting a few at the same time? I think it would be a fun event.

Fish Market Battle Round Three Gnash v. Warrior A - Miss Haldor uses Scroll of Armor Sundering on Vonnetate - Failure (5) (-1 ether) Haldor v. Archer B - Meditate (+ 1 ether) >Dyric v.

Gnash: 46-3=43, KO Dyrics relatively incredible luck continues as he sinks a bolt into the Archer's eye and the archer tumbles off the balcony one story above- when he slams into the ground, he is dead. Vonnetate shakes himself furiously and is awake once more. He cuts through young Gnash easy as butter, and the brave Orc falls bleeding. The Warrior, hoping perhaps to protect his leader and knowing now that the responsibility lands almost solely on him, rams his flail into nearly everyone in the party, who stumble back. The healers attempt to patch the party up, but Phil lays unconscious on the floor, and others still bleed heavily.

You non-role players role play more than you know. Benji is very much a character in my mind. Even his willingness to change classes is a character trait!

Assassins too. I'm often times tempted to start over as a rogue, in about a year or so I'll be where I would be with Boomingham in a year anyway.

Boomingham smiles sleepily at the elf as she leaves, but then her words register and he haltingly- crashing into tables and chairs- bumbles over to the quest board. He sees that he was not chosen, but his friends Guts and Eric were. He spits on the sign-up sheet, though he is careful enough to make sure that he does not spit on any of the names of people he actually respects. No use being angry with them for proving themselves worthy when he did not. Boomingham lifts a quill and with a heavy and splotchy hand-writing sketches his name onto the Quest 57 sign-ups. He grumbles and returns to his seat. "Might be heading out with the young lasses and boys. Guess I'll have to teach them a thing or two."

The damn healing staff changes enough of the damn rules already. But, for example, it is also better for Alexis to roll Critical Hits now, and not shields- unless she wants to make gold. So, what would I pick in that case if we made it objective? I agree, its not always sensible, but Arthur beat me by jinxing his whole party at the end of 38.

Ew. Too much OoC in the thread, keep it here guys! I like to keep the quests readable because I got back and read them! She targeted herself with the healing staff. We've discussed it for her on previous quests, it does nothing by her shield description. But yes, Angel would absolutely protect you guys from harm, though their health would still double! As Flipz said, and as is the ruling, Lucky is not objective. It takes the highest roll. I must have forgotten to move one to his inventory, but I think I'm only displaying the SP from one of them. And yes, I stole from all over on purpose. Creepy Croak from the Demon Frogs, Akkaba worshipping from those worshippers, some Progg in there. There were a few other reused attacks this quest, because some QMs have nice attacks that should be reused! I also purposely pulled from different places for the Court of Demon specials, to further promote the idea that while SOME of them were Zoot followers, they didn't all serve only him. Mephisto wore a piece of armor clearly with Akkabba's emblem on it- implying that before Mephisto ate his brain and soul and stuff, his human host may not have served Zoot so fully.

OoC: Apologies, though this time, I actually forgot a rule change instead of making some dumb calculation error (though I'm sure that's in there too!) Actually, none of the enemies should be hexed.

OoC: I accounted for the multiplier, WBD, just forgot to change the calculations. Haldor should be enraged, and so is Hoke now. It didn't matter to this round, but it has been included since I forgot the previous round. Fish Market Battle Round Two >Atramor heals Skrall - Shield (665, No Hexes) >Skrall v.
