Boomingham tsks, and even Barty averts his gaze for a short while. Boomingham turns to his little companion. "This, Barty, are the small folk we should be trying to defend." "Perhaps," the angel says wistfully. "Maybe they did something wrong." "I somehow doubt it." Boomingham turns back to Grumpy. "Grumpy, who came to bash in Spad's head? Do you think it had anything to do with his employer? Do you truly think they'll be back? If so, we can wait around to dispatch of them. That being said, if you could tell us who Spad worked for, I think we may need to pay them a visit too. This cloak isn't for smothering, but it does need to get back to its rightful owner, assuming they deserve it."

OoC: Nice call, Hoke. I nerfed and unnerfed those archers a few times, you folks are dealing with the nerfed version! Also, is it just me, or is Thothy having a strangely hard time being healed this quest? Poor Thothy. He and witches don't mix well.

I'm with Scuba on this. No magic means no magic.

You give them enough to do, and people are generally okay with it. I would also like to take back my plea for overkill gloves. I'd miss counterstriking too much, and I keep my idea that part of the perk of going on a quest is being the only person (people) who get access to the cool shops there. Now, if anyone can find me some overkill boots at a reasonable price....

I might be willing to purchase the overkill gloves off someone... if they mark they haggle for them, and then sell them to me at the haggled price. I've never done this before (asking others to buy stuff for you from other quests seems sort of lame sometimes) but Boomingham is GREEDY and it's hard to make him so without an item that gains him money.

Yeah, some QMs just run quicker quests than others. WBD and Sandy and Scuba are all fantastic, and I LOVE questing under them (keep signing up), but Endgame and Bd fit more battles in because they update way more regularly. CMP was a quick battle runner too (if another CMP quest goes up, I'll be there hopefully). Arthur is a rogue variant now. They will ALWAYS have more gold than anyone else.

Yeah, tell me about it. It's scary how many people who started playing AFTER me are very far ahead of me. How'd that happen?!

"Don't have to go anywhere, little man. We've come to return something we think might belong to someone. Has any of your commune ever gone to Swisshopper's to get a cloak cleaned? They'll be mighty happy to see us if so."

It clings to her as she leaks blood and eventually stumbles back. Only then does the Guard step off of her fallen body.

In the snow on the way to Ohio, I can promise you, they can be a danger. I've made the trip from New York there before, CM! Have a good time with your parents, and we will keep on chugging!! :thumbup: EDIT: My parties are ranging from 3-5 players from now on. (but also to my players).

OoC: AS I said, update later, sorry all. I also noticed I screwed up the Warrior's special the first round, should have hit you all, but I am going to let it slide this first time. Sorry all.

Oh absolutely it's useful, and quick one off jokes don't bother me either. It's whole conversations, post after post, that bother me, or lengthy explanation of what your character wants. The ones about who everyone should target are often in OoC too, which confuses me because they could just as easily be in character, unless for some reason you want your character to be notoriously bad at battle planning. Sorry, busy day today, you'll get an update at some point, questies!

Well, go on, tell us which QMs are the nicest so that we can lynch them!

Boomingham chews on the inside of his cheek for a while. Barty, who has been conspicuously missing, floats back, but Boomingham shooes him away to get an overhead shot. Finally, Boomingham chuckles heartily. "It's just like a battle field. Same basic concept. Figuring out how to maneuver. Nyx and I ran into a tiled floor once in Cathargo, but that was just guessing. Here... there's some real strategy." He interlocks his fingers and cracks them all together, shooting his has forward, palms out. He grins. "This work?" He says, nimbly jumping forward and trying his path out.

Yeah, that's a great room! Most heroes live in inns and not in the Hall, because it turns out to be the way things work according to Sandy, but the room looks incredible, has great character, and smart building technique!! Publish it in it's own topic elsewhere on the site and see what people say! And yeah, RS, most of my building time has to go into sets currently. And I did say it could be about anything, BD. RS did both.

Boomingham nods at Ellaria's suggestion. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble, we sure could use a guide and an introduction. The Heaps sound promising."

"I'll be taking on one of those Bombsters this round. We need to start doing some damage to them or we'll be here for a long time as they slowly burn us down."

Oh, and I absolutely want to Quest under Sandy again (my first quest was by him, and I haven't gotten to go back yet ) and BD (Boomingham has got to go to war) AND Etzel (great quests, great sets, and if it's Paladins... I'd be more than happy to have Boomingham meet some of them. I think he needs to in order to further his relationship with Barty). And of course there are even more QMs I want to get to play with... so much to do, so little time. I'd be interested to see a stats on which player has been on the most quests with which QM.

I already got to host you, but I do look forward to questing with you someday, hopefully. I'd also really like to finish a quest with CMP and Skrall, and quest alongside Tesni again. Hoke, Thothwick... Cinna and I had a really really nice moment a while back I'd love to build on. And then there are some people that Boomingham has never met and would also be great company! He and Sarge are similar in some ways, might be fun. And he and Maurice would flourish together, no doubt, due to their Paladin styles clashing. Nerwen and he could REALLY have something interesting too, I think. And of course Cronk. I'm dying to play alongside or host Pretzel. And everyone, go check out the second of our many interludes, pictured and written by Rumble Strike. Some backstory for Tarn, and an intro (correct me if I'm wrong) to some quests that might be coming up in the future hosted by him as well! :thumbup: There are more interludes coming up!

A rich dude would give out mythril! It's a fact . It's a really nice drop that isn't mind boggling to host, and I do like to have a nice reward at the end of quests!! Call it what you like... but see you there!

Hybros must, unless you bought it off of him. It will be the reward for all Guffington quests (Zoot's playthings for Wren, Mytril Shards for Guffington, don't know what yet for Russel). The next Guffington quest will reward TWO shards to each participant, so you'll certainly be able to get a whole one after that!

[iNTERLUDE - ELSEWHERE] Rystael paused, the quill unmoving, held over the new manuscript he was writing for the Valco library. A frown creased his wizened features as the beginnings of a headache throbbed in his temple. He stood up, the exp ression on his face now one of unease. He went to the window, looked out over the Titaanian mountain ranges that he called home. The elderly cleric felt a surge of worry, for his monastary for his order. For Tarn. Something was happening. Something big. Something evil. -------------------------------- Alara concentrated really, really hard and waved Soirfolka in a circular motion. A shining yellow light erupted below her, captured in gemstones that were laid out in a circle, the spell complete. "Look, look, I'm doing it, I'm doing it!" she called to her sister. "Very good!" came the grumpy reply from inside the cave that she called home, that all the Coven did, but her sister did not appear to marvel at her achievement. Alara's feeling of triumph evaporated as a wave of blackness slammed into her. She cried out in pain and confusion as the world seemed to close in on her, a darkness so absolute that no light could ever penetrate it. The frail girl collapsed on the floor, her high cloak covering her pale skin as she lay unmoving. It was here.

Though Cronk illicits the help of the City Watch, and they do land hits on their targets, the heroes themselves are slashed and hacked. Hoke blasts one of the Clerics back with fire, but the other one whacks Atramor in the back of the head. Hans's helmet is dented by the flail, and Nyx has to ward that warrior off. Thothwick takes a nasty blow to the stomach that knocks the wind out of him and he tumbles back into a pile of weapons.

Haldor ([20/2]-7=3) Burned: -3 Skrall, All Chimera Guards Bleeding: -5 Skrall The party delivers a series of decisive blows to start off the round. Arthur and Gnash clear a path for Phil, who slams his hammer into all of the Chimera Guards in a burning arch. Alexis fires off a quick spell before calling over her Thunderbird, who fills a huge portion of the small shrine. Even Poletad does some serious damage and Dyric snaps one of the mechanical heads clean off the body. Skrall, however, is cornered, and after a series of slashes feels fire get set to his skin. He pats it out, but it smarts badly. The Chimera Guards swarm over the party in a terrifying crash of gears, and the tiny blades protruding from their feet leave minor cuts on nearly everyone. Haldor, meanwhile, looks for a table to flip, but can't find any in the small building.

Scuba created it. Nyx owns it (poor Nyx always gets nixed) and it is on loan to Alexis. It's not that complex... all summons are hastened. That's it. Pretty straight forward, easy to remember, etc. But as a general rule, yes, fellow QMS, PLEASE check with Sandy. When you don't I hate QMing. Because there's enough unique stuff out there already. REUSE SOME OF IT. Gems, more scrolls, grating stones, gold gold gold. All great drops. I try to only create three to four unique items per quest, and even then that's on long quests. MYTRIL SHARDS are AWESOME.
