Battle of the Clock Round Three Docken - Retrieves Bedroll (-5) Guts v. Dark Gray Cog - Critical Hit (-[12x3]+18=54) (+3 to Guts) Hybros v. Dark Gray Cog - Critical Hit (-[12x2]+18=42) (No Assassination) Orange v. Docken - Scared Green Cog v. Guts - (-2) Light Gray Cog v. Hybros - (-3) The battle continues. Docken thinks about the bedroll he left behind longingly, and poof, there it is before him. A chill goes down his spine and he feels tired. Guts and Hybros double team the Dark Gray Cog and smash it repeatedly with their weapons. The remaining cogs ram into Hybros and Guts again. As the clock chimes nine times, the cogs fall out of the air and clatter to the ground. They buzz bizarrely before slowly lifting back into the air and beginning to spin menacingly again.

DD, that was a twist I did not see coming.

Cronk and Thothwick smash Chimera Guards, while William takes one down before he is crushed under the claws of the mechanical beasts. Arthur fires a quick spell that rams into Blackenord's eyes. He stumbles backwards, eyelids closed. Meanwhile, in Emerlado's Wing, the battle heats up. Denerri narrowly misses a swing from the Emperor, while the rest of the team rams up against the Emperor's Archers. They are repelled by the remainder of the force, who slice and hack at them.

OoC: Will update in about 5 hours! WBD, still waiting on a battle order.

Boomingham snores, head on the bar, drool dribbling out. Hybros and Nur had left him after a few more drinks, and he hadn't bothered to talk to any of the other heroes. Down a floor, near the quest board, a quill lifts apparently of its own free will. A slight shimmer of light accompanies it. The quill elegantly scribbles "Lord Lawrence T. Boomingham" on the parchment for Quest 40.

I think it's been too long since I've been on a Sandy Quest.

Errors fixed!

Creative and logical. I'd say that would be an okay strategy to me!

Battle of the Clock Round One Docken v. Orange Cog - Critical Hit ([9x2]+21=39) Guts v. Orange Cog - Hit (30) Hybros v. Orange Cog - Critical Hit ([12x2]+18=42) Green Cog v. Docken - Scared Dray Gray Cog v. Guts - (-2) Lght Gray Cog v. Hybros - (-2) The battle begins. Docken, Guts and Hybros all rain down attacks on the Orange Cog, denting it slightly. The other clogs whirl around the heroes, bashing into Guts and Hybros, but too terrified of Docken to approach him. Suddenly, the clock's great hand moves forward to 4 o'clock, and all the cogs glow and grow faster.

Phil hefts his hammer and grins his gritty grin at Atramor. "Good to see you, Witch. I'm even more pleased to see that the fight is coming to me. I think it's high time that we show the Lions how unwelcome their invasion is."

Welcome back. You've got some reading to do. I assume you'll finish it by the end of the evening. Q 30 only, but you may be able to hop on Q38... maybe I should expand it to 6 players. EDIT: Ella looks so lonely.

Many enemies have the healing ability. The next Wren quest will feature an enemy that can heal. The Chimera Guards can heal.

If it's any consolation, until we saw it in action during Badger, I thought it worked the way you thought it worked.

Cursed doesn't work that way, CMP. It takes 3 away from total health, it doesn't deal 3 every round.

The one with sign-ups already up!! If you look at the characters who have already been on a Wren Quest, there is more than you' think. Cronk, Thothwick, Eric, Hybros, Docken, Jess, Henry, Daggerfall, Tesni, Haldor, Rone, Skrall, Hoke, Atramor, Nyx, Tarn, and William. That's 17 already. I'm probably going to bring 4 returning questers on the newest quest, and a 5th new one. That gives me 18 heroes to pick from, assuming that they all sign up for the final quest. I've thought out all the combinations, and they are all awesome. It will be very very tough.

8 players (all of whom must have been on a Wren Quest), 4 returning villain NPCs (well, 5 in a sort...), 12 returning friendly NPCs (8 of whom can die during the quest). I have the outline written up in its entirety already. I'm really really really excited.

At least wait until Winter so Wren can murder him on her final quest.

Sorry, totally forgot, you should certainly be told what time it is, or else the puzzle is impossible. It is 12. That you DON'T know is how each cog changes the clock. Some advance it X number of hours when targeted, some move it back X number of hours when targeted. Those numbers will all be added together at the end of the round. EX: Blue Cog moves clock forward 5 hours, Red Cog moves it back 2, clock advances 1 no matter what, and the clock starts at twelve: 5-2+1=4. The time would then be 4 o'clock.

Absolutely not! You can always join. We run player 1 quests all the time! Get some of your best EB friends to join too, and I'll run a level 1s quest for you. Read the NPC Index (bias...) and you'll know lots about the characters you may run into. Read the Library. Read through something like Quest 1 or 2, and then through some recent ones, like 32 or 37, which had level ones in it, but are recent, so have the newer mechanics and stories. WBD, do not get rid of Skrall. Wren and I would miss him dearly.

"Awesome, thanks!" Guffington accepts the gold and then turns and walks through the wall of the clock tower. Suddenly, there is a whirring sound, and through the mist come four giant clock cogs. A note flutters back through the wall where Guffington passed through.

BD, we need you to declare how much gold, if any, you'll be giving Guffington.

From now on, we will put the room that the player/enemy is in in paranthesis next to their name.
