Yeah, I also gotta give the prize to Scuba, though I like the whole combo that Skyrimguy gave to use, a lady dwarf without a beard isn't quite as exciting.

I can't wait for you all come together. There are a number of Wren questers who have to still meet and play with each other on a Wren Quest... and with a return of nearly all the NPCs, it promises to be a lot of fun! Less than two months. I swear I'm the most excited, and I'm a-okay with that.

Adorable. The stubby legs are perfect, and the tiny trunks are wonderful too. I particularly love his large rump. I can think of no way to improve him. I was originally going to suggest making his ears more rounded at the top, but I'm afraid that may be too mouse like. Superb job. Your other minis look good too. Legs on the parrot are perfect, they really feel nice with the sharp talons and fatter upper leg. The front legs of your dog roll into the back one too much - by having the curved bricks meet it almost look like he's on some weird pedestal. I suggest changing the very bottom of the front legs. The Giraffe's neck is adorable... but too much of a change from the body for me. Perhaps if you included a three-brick-high slope brick BEFORE going into the one stud cylinders, that would work. I love the tiny giraffe head though!

I will start to include more of the major factions. I also look forward to your specific feedback on the quest. It's always super helpful! I'll need to send you items/samples of enemy stats once we get closer for approval!

"Not a bad round for us. Atramor, with me again. Nyx, its up to you if you want to play it safe or not. I hope that Ellaria is able to bring you back if you fall, and that she does the same for Rufindel right now, but we do not have enough Phoenix Essences to spend them this early in our stay. Ellaria, pray to your god real hard, dear. We could use him... and more importantly, so could Rufindel." Boomingham scoops his Frozen Sabre off the ground and lunges at the Ghost from the front row. Battle Order Boomingham Atramor Skrall Ellaria Nyx

"Nyx, would you mind throwing a flaming ball of fire at our ghostly friend? Ellaria, why don't you go ahead and heal him. Both of you, please stick behind me."

I always get antsy when I have the good sense to sit out a mafia. No doubt I'd be stressed as all hell if I was playing right now... but on a flip side, I really want to be playing right now. It was an early game! Anything was allowed. At least I never voted for Pelly... In fairness... what was that? 4 years ago? I was 14.

I'm very excited to see Tarn roleplay again! Gotta say that I missed the guy! Speaking of which, I'm afraid we're getting to the point of the game where players may lose interest and their characters may disappear without explanation or a trace. Where is Jess, or Hoke? I miss them both. Jebs is MIA currently too. I do hope we don't lose characters too much, and those who do lose interest at least write a decent conclusion, even if it's just their character leaving the hall for some reason (that way they could return if they ever [hopefully] decided to).

Dastan Trilogy (Quests 29, 30, 31) Emperor Alandri Fowler - Human - Empire of Dastan Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Emperor Alandri is the youngest of the three emperors of Dastan. Because of this, he was open to contacting their age-old enemies for assistance defeating the Rogue Lions, but he is also fairly unexperienced in the workings of the empire. Emperor Alandri has some skill with the sword, able to fend off a rebelling Lady Leofwena with an elven blade kept in his study, but he was unable to defend himself during the Battle of Drakencourt, and survived only because of the sacrifices of Sir Lyonel and his minotaur bodyguard. Alive, in Drakencourt Lord Calibor - Human - Chimera Cultists Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Lord Calibor was a battlemage and a member of the Chimera Cult. He was an expert at creating dense clouds of smoke, and managed to hold off an attacking force of nearly a hundred Lion Knights and Imperial troops with the smoke he conjured, but was eventually killed by heroes who penetrated his clouds. Dead Dragon Commander Constance - Human - Dastan Empire Appeared In: Dastan Trilogy Constance was the leader of the Dragon Knights when the heroes of Quest 30 arrived in Dastan. She showed herself to be ruthless and rude, and an incredible racist against the U'Kin and other minorities. Constance, however, proved her valor in battle, helping to slay a Chaos Beast in Mallelio's home, and saving the heroes alongside Phil just before they were slaughtered in U'Stus' home. Felton enlisted the help of the heroes of Quest 29 to kill her, believing she was a cultist and traitor, though they instead tried to protect her against the heroes of Quest 30, who were fed up with her. The Barbarian Tarn killed her with a Bomb XX. After her death, it was revealed that she was in fact loyal, and was attempting to forge a union with the Dragons. Dead Dmitri Finegold - Human - Finegold Brothers Appeared in: Quest 18, Dastan Trilogy Dmitri is one of the two notorious Finegold brothers. They and their small organization of criminals are a general nuisance to all houses of Eubric. They specialize in stealing and kidnapping, often demanding ransoms from the rich families that control Eubric. Dmitri escaped the grasp of the heroes of Quest 18, and was last seen sailing toward the Fang Coast before the events of Quest #29. After sailing to the Fang Coast and losing most of his crew, Dmitri wandered around the eastern regions until coming upon a small town known as Voulun, in Dastan. There, he met the cultist Gottfried, who convinced Dmitri that if he joined the cult, he could revive his fallen brother, Edward. Little did Dmitri know, necromancy could only go so far, and Gottfried used this to his advantage. Manipulating Dmitri's wit and skill, the cult benefited from his involvement. Before he could revive his brother, however, the heroes of Quest #29 finished what those of Quest #18 started by defeating him along Gottfried and his section of the cult. All that remains of the Finegold brothers are a few journal entries. Dead Sir Earl Poletad - Frog - Frog Paladins Appeared in: Quest 19, Dastan Trilogy, 38 Sir Poletad was saved by the heroes in a factory in Haddon. Afterwards, he fought alongside the heroes. He is extremely brave and proud of himself, though he often times over-estimates his ability, and is sheepish about how brave he is. In Dastan, Poletad proved himself to care more about doing what he found morally right, as opposed to fighting Wren. He helped to protect all members of Dastan, including helping the heroes save Mallelio instead of chasing Wren. Mallelio returned the favor by going to save Hans and Poletad in the Battle of Drakencourt. Poletad has promised to be in Eubric when Wren arrives. Alive, Whereabouts Unknown Ella Septrine - Human - Dastan Empire Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Ella Septrine is the daughter of Emperor Severus Septrine, one of the three Emperors of Dastan. She is shown to be stubborn and strong-willed, along as kind-hearted. She is a advocate for U'Kin rights, and wants to befriend both the Dragons and the Rito. She is also gifted with sights, able to foresee events that will happen. While the heroes were in Dastan Ella used them for her own missions. She asked them to protect U'Stus, and then used Atramor and Tarn to vanquish the ghost of her long dead ancestor, Emperor Brunt, so that the wall dividing the U'Kin from the rest of the city could finally be taken down. Wren attempted to make off with her, but was prevented by the heroes. Ella is the student of Mallelio, and the two are very good friends. She appears to have some sort of feelings for Tarn. Alive, In Drakencourt Felton - Human – High Kingdoms Town/Wren Hunters Appeared in: Quest 7, 19, Dastan Trilogy, 38 Felton is darkly practical and cynical at times, though these two traits help him see through trickery easily, and his grasp of good and evil is extremely sound. He is good friends with Hans. Felton hails from a small town in the High Kingdoms, but has now devoted his life to catching Wren. After she kidnapped him for the Arena, where he first met the heroes, he helped them break out, and swore to eradicate her. Later, in Haddon, he was separated from Hans and the heroes, realized that they are backing the wrong side of the war, and joined the guards. His double sided with the Rebels, but was eventually figured out, and his copy was killed. He assisted the guards in winning the war. He then left Haddon to track down Wren. In Dastan, Felton once more met the heroes. His friend, Hans, told the heroes that Felton had been scarred by his experience in Haddon, and was now incredibly paranoid. He assisted them in a number of tasks, though his main objective remained stopping Wren. After he convinced a group of heroes to kill Constance, the Leader of the Dragon Knights whom Felton mistakenly believed to be a Cultist and traitor, Felton was thrown in jail. He later redeemed himself by figuring out the enemy was using a tunnel system to travel the city. During the Battle of Drakencourt he survived a fight in the prison. Felton arrived in the Valley of Peace after the heroes have fought the Last General. He swore that he and his gang will be there to assist the heroes when they fight Wren next. Alive, Whereabouts Unknown Flavius and Denerii - Rito - Dastan Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Flavius and Denerii are two members of the Rito clan, a legendary race known for their ability to fly thanks to their natural wings. Before the Battle for Dastan, the Rito mostly stayed to themselves, avoiding contact with other species in Dastan at all costs. They much preferred to live by their own means rather than follow any government imposed on them. However, in Dastan's most desperate times, the Rito were called upon to help. Several heroes involved in the Battle for Dastan proved themselves in battle with the Rito, which convinced the winged warriors to assist in defending the capitol, Drakencourt. Flavius and Denerii, along with the rest of the Rito clan, are now slowly assimilating themselves to Dastan's government and becoming a part of the empire, though they will always maintain their cultural roots. Alive, In Dastan Gottfried - Human - Chimera Cultists Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Gottfried was one of the head cultists of an organization in Dastan concerned with necromancy. More importantly, these cultists attempted an ancient beast that plagued Dastan many years ago, known as the Chimera. He was responsible for recruiting many cultists near the city of Voulun, including Dmitri Finegold. He was defeated by the heroes of Quest #29, under the instruction of Roland Emeraldo. Dead Hans - Human – High Kingdoms Town/Wren Hunters Appeared in: Quest 7, 19, Dastan Trilogy, 38 Hans is a simple man who is aware that he is simple. He is occasionally a pessimist, and often times cuts directly to the chase. He is a little violent and hot headed, but seems to have a good heart. He’s good friends with Felton. Hans hails from a small town in the High Kingdoms, but has now devoted his life to catching Wren. After she kidnapped him for the Arena, where he first met the heroes, he helped them break out, and swore to eradicate her. Later, in Haddon, he fought alongside the Rebels and the heroes until they meet the real Felton. After that, Hans assisted the guards in winning the war. He then left Haddon to track down Wren. In Dastan, Hans told the heroes his primary objective was to stop Wren, though he is more receptive than Felton to helping protect the nobles. He fought alongside a number of heroes in various battles while trying to track down the Dark Lady. During the Battle of Drakencourt, he was pinned down somewhere in the city alongside Poletad. Mallelio went to his rescue. Hans arrived in the Valley of Peace after the heroes had fought the Last General. He swore that he and his gang will be there to assist the heroes when they fight Wren next. Alive, Whereabouts Unknown Sir Lamorak - Human - Lion Knights, Rogue Lion Knights Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Sir Lamorak was captain of Sir Leonard's guards before he left for Dastan with Sir Loren and the Rogue Lion Knights. Fairly inexperienced in the strategy and politics involved in the big picture of staging a rebellion, Sir Lamorak didn't see much action until the Battle of Drakencourt, when he entered the palace in pursuit of Emperor Alandri Fowler with Sir Loren, Lord Lucan, and a force of Rogue Lions. He would fight long and hard in the battle but was finally slain by the Heroica hunter, Skrall. Dead Sir Laurant - Human - Lion Knights, Rogue Lion Knights Appeared In: Dastan Trilogy Sir Laurant was one of Sir Leonard's best tacticians, before he left with Sir Loren and the Rogue Lions to conquer Dastan. He commanded the massive Rogue Lion army that attacked Drakencourt from the south, but he and his army were defeated by a combined Lion-Imperial force. Sir Laurant rallied his men and led them into battle himself from atop a hill in the middle of the battlefield, but he was pinned down by crossbow fire and could only watch as his army was split up and fell apart around him, before he was killed. Dead Sir Leofard - Human - Lion Knights Appeared in: Quests 17, Dastan Trilogy Sir Leofard is one of the more experienced Lion Knights. Now the commander of the Lions army, Sir Leofard reports directly to Count Lewis Knyghton, taking over the position once occupied by Sir Loren. As a swordsman and a warrior, Sir Leofard has no match among the Lion Knights, but he lacks some social skills. Lady Leofwena was once his squire. Sir Leofard has also worked as a military advisor, to Emperor Alandri Fowler of Dastan. Alive, In Uland Lady Leofwena - Human - Lion Knights, Chimera Cultists Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy The last of a noble Lion family, Lady Leofwena used her influence to get the majority of the other nobles to convince Sir Leonard to allow her to become a knight. She was the squire of Sir Leofard. Lady Leofwena despised what she believed to be weak Lion Knights and heroes of Heroica. She joined the Chimera Cult in hopes of finishing what her ancestors had started in summoning a mythical beast to destroy the dragons of Dastan. Revealing her true allegiances and attempting to escape from the Lion Knights, she was surrounded by Lions and killed by heroes. Dead Sir Leonard Kniveton - Human - Lion Knights Appeared in: Quests 4, 17, Dastan Trilogy The former leader of the Lion Knights, Sir Leonard hasn't seen much action, but he has guided the Lions from outcasts wandering the seas to becoming a minor power in Eubric with a respectably-sized standing army. Following the defeat of the Lions' enemies in battle, Sir Leonard has chosen to retire, appointing a member of the nobility, Count Lewis Knyghton, as his successor. Alive, In Uland Count Lewis Knyghton - Human - Lion Knights Appeared in: Quests 17, Dastan Trilogy One of the few remaining nobles among the Lion Knights, Count Lewis has developed an interest in siege engines and other machines of war. He has accompanied heroes working with the Lions on more than one occasion. Following Sir Leonard's decision to step down and remain only as leader of the army itself, Count Lewis has been appointed the political leader of the Lion Knights and resides in Bric'Bay Castle. Alive, Bric'Bay Castle, Uland Sir Loren - Human - Lion Knights, Rogue Lion Knights Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Sir Loren was the military commander of the Lion Knights under Sir Leonard. After the Lions won at Bric'Bay Fort, Sir Loren planned and, working with Sir Leofard, staged the counter-offensive that lead to the complete defeat of what remained of Lord Keveak's elven army. Convinced that the Lions could become a military power feared the world over, Sir Loren traveled to Dastan with more than half of the entire Lion army, recruited Teuthisal and Pongcanae along the way, and marched on Drakencourt. While his general, Sir Laurant, attacked the southern wall of the city, Sir Loren, two of his lieutenants, Sir Lamorak and Lord Lucan, and a force of Rogue Lions entered the palace in pursuit of Emperor Alandri Fowler. Caught in the midst of a battle involving Chaos Beasts, Chimera Cultists, traitorous imperials, Lion Knights, Rito and heroes of Heroica he remained fighting to the bitterest end until he was finally overwhelmed by those he had sought to destroy. Dead Lord Lucan Kynestone - Human - Lion Knights, Rogue Lion Knights Appeared in: Quests 30, 31 Lord Lucan was a Lion noble who left with Sir Loren and the Rogue Lion Knights in their plan to conquer Dastan. Lord Lucan paid for many of the weapons used by the Rogue Lions and financed the projects that the Rogue Lions used to convince the Teuthisal and Pongcanae to join them. With Sir Loren, Sir Lamorak, and a force of Rogue Lions, he followed Emperor Alandri Fowler to the palace during the Battle of Drakencourt, and while wielding his deadly poison, he met his end at the hands of the Heroica rogue, Isabella del Toboso. Dead Luke - Elf - Lion Knights Appeared in: Quests 17, Dastan Trilogy An elven sage, Luke is Sir Leonard's personal healer. As such, his primary concern is Sir Leonard's health, but the Lion's leaders have often sent him to assist heroes working with the Lions. It is unknown to which group of elves Luke comes from, but considering his beard and his actions at Bric'Bay Fort, it is probably safe to say that he is not a Brobric Elf. Alive, In Uland Sir Lyonel - Human - Lion Knights Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Though he trained as a knight, Sir Lyonel's skill was with words and politics. He was a political advisor both to Sir Leonard Kniveton, leader of the Lion Knights, and to Emperor Alandri Fowler, one of the three emperors of Dastan. He was a rival of Sir Leofard, whom Sir Lyonel believed was an uncivilized, unlearned warrior, more of a barbarian than a knight. During the Battle of Drakencourt, he initially retreated as a coward to save himself, but sacrificed himself to save Emperor Alandri. Dead Sir Lyons - Human - Rogue Lion Knights Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Sir Lyons was the Rogue Lion Knight sent to deal directly with the Rebels, Chimera Cultists, and Wren. He worked alongside them until the other Lion Knights showed up, at which point he assumed command of a force once again. He seemed primarily interested in power for the Lion Knights. Sir Lyons led the first wave of attack in the Battle of Drakencourt, leading a huge force of Lion Knights through the secret tunnel systems under Drakencourt, and was killed when Phil took a hammer to his face. Dead Mallelio - Human - Dastan Empire Mallelio is the teacher of Ella Septrine and an advisor in all things magical to Emperor Septrine. The heroes were tasked with his protection while in Dastan. Chimera Cultist broke into his house in Drakencourt with the assistance of Wren, and dragged him away to be sacrificed. He was saved by Nyx, Tarn and Poletad. He proved himself to be a true friend to the heroes. Mallelio put in a good word for them when they murdered Constance, and helped to banish the dead Emperor Brunt's spirit. Mallelio rallied the remaining Dragon Knights in the Battle of Drakencourt and arrived at the palace to clean up the attackers who remained outside. Alive, In Dastan Mane, Paw & Claw - Pongcanis, U'Kin & Human - Chimera Cultists Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy. Mane, Paw and Claw were three high-ranking Chimera Cultists who were all killed over the course of the heroes' stay in Dastan. Dead The Minotaur - Minotaur - The Empire of Dastan Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy The name, age, and origin of this minotaur are unknown. He worked as the bodyguard of Dastan's Emperor Alandri Fowler, who often sent him to accompany the emperor's guests and, later, heroes, much to his annoyance. He believed that he should be constantly at the emperor's side. During the Battle of Drakencourt, he slew dozens of Rogue Lions and their Teuthisal and Pongcanis allies, but he was ultimately killed while covering the emperor's retreat. Dead Nikolai - Human - Dastan Empire Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Nikolai is a commanding member of the Dastan Military. The heroes of Quest 30 saved him from XX before he was shipped off to the front lines. After Emperor Emeraldo defected, Nikolai returned to lead the heroes of Quest 29. He took them on a mission of good will to the Rito, and assisted them in the protection of Drakencourt. Alive, In Drakencourt Phil/Victor Phyllius – Human – The Empire of Dastan Appeared in: Quest 7, Dastan Trilogy Phil is first encountered in the Arena of Wren in Quest 7. He reveals that he offered himself as tribute when Wren demanded a captive from the town he was staying in. Phil escapes with the heroes, and then disappears. It is later revealed that Phil, or rather Victor, is an Ambassador to the High Kingdoms from Dastan. He invites the heroes to help the Emeperors prevent a series of assassinations. Throughout the heroes’ stay in Dastan he proves himself, fierce, loyal, resourceful, and honorable. He is eventually named the next Emperor of Dastan. Alive, In Drakencourt Roland Emeraldo - Human - The Dastan Empire, No Allegiance Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Roland Emeraldo was once one of three emperors of Dastan, before he betrayed his government in favor of a new one run by various rogue factions. He was highly favored by the citizens of his empire because of his dedication to them, including minor species such as the Tehtusial and Pongcanis. Once he was discovered of treachery, he tried to flee during the Battle for Dastan, but was captured and tried for his crimes. He has been banished to the neighboring Babeleth Darklands, forbidden to return to Dastan ever again. Alive, In Babeleth Darklands Russel - Human - The Dastan Empire Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Russel was a leading officer of the Dastanese military, and Emperor Roland Emeraldo's head bodyguard and right-hand man. He traveled everywhere that Emeraldo did, and followed orders to the T. However, he was also an effective general, leading his troops and dominating the battlefield. He was killed while trying to cover Emeraldo's escape during the Battle for Dastan. Dead Emperor Severus Septrine - Human - Dastan Empire Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Emperor Severus Septrine is one of the three Emperors of Dastan, Ella's father, and the employer of the heroes of Quest 30. He charged them with the protection of five important political persons, three of which they were able to save. Emperor Severus and the heroes had a rocky relationship, his faith particularly shaken in them when they killed Constance. He however appreciated the heroes' protection in the Battle of Drakencourt, and even allowed them to appoint a new Emperor after Roland was exiled. Alive, In Drakencourt Sphinx - Human - Chimera Cultists Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Sphinx was a Chimera Cultist in the land of Dastan. He and his men attempted to kidnap and sacrifice Mallelio, though when the heroes defeated Sphinx, he allowed Mallelio to go as promised. Sphinx proved himself to be a man of honor and faith, who truly believed in and worshipped his God, the Chimera. Eventually, Sphinx was able to bring his God to Olegia, though the heroes slew it with the help of Vipera. Sphinx disappeared, only to reappear as Wren's captive as she fled Dastan. Alive, Whereabouts Unknown U'Stus - U'Kin - Dastan Empire Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy U'Stus was a leader of the U'Kin populace, advocating fair rights. Severus asked the heroes to protect him, though he refused the protection as he believed it would alienate him from the people he led, seeing as they all too often did not get protection themselves. U'Stus was killed by his old ally turned radical terrorist, U'Vires, who hoped that his death would spur the U'Kin into revolt. Dead U'Vires - U'Kin - Rebels of Dastan U'Vires is a radical leader of the U'kin who lobbied for his species political freedom through violence. U'Vires allied himself with many people he found repugnant to try to win peace for his people. His allies included Wren, the Rogue Lion Knights, and the Chimera Cultists. He killed U'Stus in hopes of motivating his people, an attempt that failed. He called off all attacks while the heroes stopped the Chimera, a threat he found too large. He fought in the battle of Drakencourt, but was disabled by Atramor. Later, he attempted to shoot Wren, who he recognized as a true threat to equality, freedom and peace, but she burned him alive and fled. Dead Vipera Callidus the Young - Dragon - Dastan Dragons Appeared in: Quest 19, Dastan Trilogy Vipera was freed by Hoke in Haddon and remained by his side throughout the events of the entire quest. Vipera then flew home to her homeland across the sea. When the heroes arrived in Dastan, Vipera contacted them. She helped them for help, explaining that Sphinx was planning to bring back the ancient enemy of the Dragons, the Chimera, and that her race had grown too complacent to do anything, believing that perhaps their time on the face of Olegia was over. She aided the heroes in fighting the Chimera. In the Battle of Drakencourt she made contact possible in the Palace. Alive, In Dastan Viviane - Human - Empire of Dastan Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy Viviane was the owner of a cantina in southern Drakencourt. Alive, in Dastan Lady Wren - Human - Wren/Zoot Appeared in: Quest 7, 19, Dastan Trilogy, 38 Wren is a worshiper of Chaos and plans to take power from the God Zoot. She is known to control "Chaos Beasts". Once, while still a member of Heroica, she defeated a young Skrall. Her first run in with the Heroes of the Hall was at an Arena, somewhere in the High Kingdoms, in which she forced the heroes to fight each other and eventually kill the head of the games, Draco. She fled, and was later found in the town of Haddon. In Haddon she tricked Felton and Hans into thinking that the Rebels were the side they should support, though in fact the Guards of the town were in the right. When the real Felton was separated from Hans and figured out that the Guards were clearly in the right, she created a copy of Felton to string along the heroes. Though the heroes eventually caught the Fake Felton and correctly sided with the Guards to win the war, the damage was done, as Wren did not care who won, just that it was an even enough match to cost both sides lives. She also explained that she does not think the world is “good” or “evil” and that Chaos reigns. She knows what she does hurts others, but she explains they’ll be hurt either way, so she may as well profit. She then flees. In Dastan, Wren backed the Assassins. She worked alongside them and the Lion Knights to upset power, though she made clear to Atramor, Hans, and Felton that she has other motives. She stole the Spiritus Intendere, a device designed to submit spirits to her will. She then assisted in the murder of U’Stus, and later came to the heroes and asked them kill the Chimera. She kidnapped Sphinx, and attempted, in the Battle of Dastan, to make off with Ella, though she was prevented. She then fled. In the Valley of Peace, the heroes watched a young Wren in a series of flashbacks. The Valley of Peace was Wren’s final quest with Heroica. She was seen systematically betraying her party members at the behest of Roderick Hinckwell, a Knight. It was eventually revealed that she and Roderick, and the Gray Wizard, discovered a Temple of Zoot. She and Roderick received visions from the God. Wren discovered the beauty of Chaos, though she leads Roderick to believe that she too wished to end it and replace it with Order. After the entire party is sealed away, Wren killed Roderick, but found herself no match for the Last General. She pleaded for her life, which he gave her. After the heroes killed the General in the present, Wren returned and took the Amulet of Gods. She then promised to see them soon and left once more. Alive and Wanted XX - Human - No Allegiance Appeared in: Dastan Trilogy XX is a gun for hire. He was hired by Wren and U'Vires while the heroes were in Dastan, and so joined the attempt to murder a number of political figures. XX has a strange sort of honor, and refuses to betray his side no matter how much money he is offered. He also follows what he is hired to do to a tee, and will do no less or more. While in Dastan he almost killed Nikolai in a fiery explosion in Dragonclaw, and later spared Nyx's life by lying to Blackenord in U'Stus' house. He fought in the battle of Drakencourt, but fled after he saw his employers were dead and he was unlikely to get money for sticking around. Alive, Whereabouts Unknown Cameos Lord Normorn - See Quest 4

Interesting question. I have two answers. As a player, I could play in a quest that went on for as short as a month, or as long as 3, perhaps even 3 1/2. The major thing that bothers me is LAGS in quests. I want to roleplay, and hate when I'm not allowed to. I try to get on quests with people I know will check in daily, and QMs I expect to give me updates often. That being said, as a QM myself, I know a pause or two is bound to happen. As a QM, I actually have started to work on SHORTER QUESTS. I think they're more fun. Some epic quests are necessary, but they won't feel epic if all quests are that long. Again, if I host any quest, I try to update no less than once a day if I can help it. I hate making players wait. I felt that Dastan worked well because, while long, it MOVED. The players were still moved through events quickly, so it felt shorter. I think Guffington and the Lost Party are both good lengths and speeds for me. My first quest was a NIGHTMARE - nothing happened and it went on forever. Wasn't fair to the players.

No no, please don't plan around me! That sounds great to me, go for it! Also, your idea for a dinner party murder was going to be the idea for the second Guffington Quest. I have altered mine now; props for the beating me to the punch! I'm enjoying your version of the classical murder story immensely!

I'm going to try to walk the line between having it not be ignored by Eubric, but not have it effect Eubric too much. The Town Watch WILL be featured, and POSSIBLY one of the major houses (in an extremely minor role) but the reason that Wren will mostly not be against the main houses and their forces is because... well, like you said, she doesn't have the force. She works in the shadows, not upfront. She will be such a SMALL threat (in her actions) that they'd in theory just ignore her. I really want to run a quest eventually that features some members of the major houses. I feel that I haven't been kind in involving them enough. I have had one character who was a distant cousin of the Hinckwells, and that's all. I feel that Sandy has given us a compelling center story, and I want to try to start to include it more. Sandy, I feel like all these posts have got to be scaring you a little. I will get you a play by play of the final Wren quest relatively soon so you can workshop it with me. EVERYONE WHO HAS NEVER QM'd, I think we all know to thank Sandy for this wonderful game, but you don't know how much work he does with me on every quest. He has had a MAJOR hand in helping with all the quests I've run, and I assume that the other QMs have somewhat similar set-ups. So... just one more thing everyone should be thankful for. He works hard even behind the scenes.

Don't fear, she's not invading. I have, multiple times, said that's not what I want to happen. I recognize that she's not the major storyline, but she is coming to Eubric. An invasion is not her goal, would be poor sprotmanship to the other QMs of the game, and as you've said, quite frankly impossible.

Depending on when we see images of it, perhaps! They heroes will be traveling over a fair amount of Eubric, though not a terrible lot of important or well known places, though one or two may crop up. You'll be visiting Triad Park almost certainly, and hopefully at least one of the major houses. I need to talk to Sandy a bit... the locations aren't PARTCULARLY important, but they could be interesting. I've also got to ask people in general, are they planning any quests to take place in Eubric during the months on January/February? I'd just like to know. Nothing to do about it either way, but I'm wondering!

I think everyone else probably thinks that it won't be affected by sentinel because it has been discussed in both this thread and the Quest thread that it will not be affected by Sentinel. I also miss Hoptet. I think we need more of him. If Thothwick comes on the final Wren Quest, maybe I can somehow have Hoptet come along as a non-combatent some how. Something for me (and Flitty) to think about, because it will be taking place in Eubric anyway. I also have considered including some big Eubric NPCs, but miss the faces for many of the ones I'd like to include.

You may thinking of outside battle, where it was in fact outlawed.

Naw, I don't mind people straying from plans a little actually. It makes it more exciting. It real battle, commands would be short and might even be misheard, or people may not agree and there wouldn't really be time to argue. I RARELY change battle orders if the plans change.

No, it doesn't because it doesn't target any specific enemies.

Boomingham wipes out Shiver. "Time to test this bad boy out. Here's hoping I don't get attached to it. I told you all I'd sell it." Boomingham shrugs. "Ellaria, you patch up Nyx. Skrall, I suppose you've got to keep your bolts flying towards the statue. You'd best equip yourself for future encounters with the oogly booglies who can't be hurt by normal weapons. Atramor, my boy, I'm with you. Can't say that your attitude is always the best, but chappo, when we're in battle, you shine." Boomingham lunges at the ghost from the front row.

Yeah, Doc and I have our logic, you have yours! I actually enjoy that the rules are read differently by different QMs, adds some flavor to different quests. I do what I think the rules say, but you should of course do them the way you read them.

Yeah, but that first hits/damages is with the healing staff, so it technically heals her. Then she will attack her attacker (herself) back with WP, which is again from the healing staff and so heals.

I love Healing Staff questions! Whenever Sandy rags on me for complex items, I just bring up the Healing Staff. The Healing Staff NEVER knocks out the user. I'd say this counts as no effect, because technically the enemy in this case is her, so she attacks (heals) herself, and then attacks (hurts) who attacked her... who is her. Okay, let's run it like this in two steps as the description says: Nyx v. Nyx - hit by her attack (successful hit) (+ power amount to health) Nyx v. Nyx - counter (successful counter (+WP amount to health) So actually, technically that should heal her.

A huge majority of your questions are answered in the first post of this topic. Reread it!

Boomingham grumbles to himself, but the pros of throwing a bone far outweigh the cons of sitting out another round of battle. Boomingham throws a bone at the ghost. "Fine. This is the last round of cowardice, however," he announces. "Let that bolt fly, Ogre." Battle Order Boomingham Skrall Nyx Atramor Ellaria

Boomingham laughs courageously and slaps Atramor on the back a little too hard. "Atta boy!!" Boomingham picks back up his Frozen Sabre. "Enough bones. Heal up Atramor, Ellaria, and then focus your efforts on me if you don't mind. If I go down in the mean time, don't revive me. You save your phoenix essence for Mlle. Nyx, in the case that she goes down. Understand? She'll also be calling the order if I lose my consciousness. Wish me luck." Boomingham swipes at the Ghost from the front row.
