Mist - Hit Hit William v. Mist - Damage William v. Mist - Critical Hit The battle continues. Cronk is feels too beat up to summon his holy strength, and Skrall too leans on his sword, panting. Vipera fires on the Mist (-60). Thothwick and Galen too charge at the Mist, further cutting through the icy air (-25)(-[4x3]+9=21) Isabella hacks at the frost as well (-20), but it is not enough to end it as the frost lashes out and stabs through William with a frozen tendril (-14/2=7).

Round 7 Chimera Battle Cronk v. Chimera - Damage Skrall v. Chimera - Hit Hit Vipera v. Chimera Mist - Special Damage Thothwick v. Chimera Mist - Miss Damage Galen retrieves his dagger Isabella v. Chimera Mist - Hit Hit William v. Chimera Mist - Critical Hit William v. Chimera Mist - Shield The battle continues. Cronk's Angel flies in the way of a frosty breath and absorbs all the frost. Skrall throws himself at the Chimera, who lowers her maw to meet him. Skrall raises his sword and slashes as he enters the mouth. Skrall pierces through the Chimera's head and soars out the other side and the great beast topples and turns to ice particles immediately. The Mist dodges out of the way as Vipera shoots her flames at it. Thothwick also finds the Mist hard to hit, and Galen bounds into it to retrieve his dagger. Isabella swipes at the Mist (-20). William, the ever powerful ranger, fires four shots into the mist (-([5x2]+14)x2=48) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58).

"This isn't all that bad. I say we take out the Jinns first, and then worry about Mr. Bluehood. I'd hate for one of us to be struck down by him while the rest of us are locked in combat. Docken and I can each take a free hit or two from him, and then once the Jinns are dealt with, we can take care of him all together all at once." Boomingham lifts his Frozen Saber and swings it Aquamarine Jinn from the front row. "Haldor, Jess, if you wouldn't mind trying to take out the Topaz Jinn, and my lovely earthly mage, that Ruby Jinn is just calling for your spells. Finally, Docken, if you wouldn't mind firing a shot or two at the Garnet Jinn, I think that would round out this turn quite nicely. I can take the hit from Bluehood if you're not in the mood, Docken."

Round 6 Chimera Battle Skrall uses Skeleton Decoy Cronk heals himself - Shield Galen v. Mist - Special Damage Critical Hit Thothwick v. Chimera - Miss Special Damage II Isabella v. Chimera - Special Damage II Critical Hit Chimera v. Skrall Skeleton Decoy (27-20=7) Chimera v. Skrall (7/2=4) The battle continues. Skrall tosses out his Skeleton Decoy as Cronk calls to his guardian angel for protection the next round. Galen swings his sword at the Mist, but because the Mist is Ice and the Sword is an Ice Elemental, nothing happens. Isabella has better luck, slicing through the Mist enough to clear a path to the Chimera for the next round (-[8x2]+11=27). Thothwick is unable to get in close enough as the Mist billows away. The Chimera blasts Skrall with icy wind, but the decoy blocks most of the blast before shattering. Skrall's health regenerates (+3) as the Chimera's poison eats away at her, even as she grows even larger.

OoC: It will. Should I just assume that VP would stand in the back row, and run the round? It may (slim chance) matter which row he chooses to do nothing in.

Round 5 Chimera Battle Cronk heals himself - Heal Skrall uses a potion on Cronk Thothwick v. Chimera - Hit Special Damage Galen v. Mist - Miss Special Damage Isabella v. Chimera - Hit Miss Vipera v. Mist - Special Damage William v. Mist - Special Damage William v. Mist - Damage Chimera v. Cronk (-[26-9]/2=9) The battle continues. Cronk heals himself (+32). Skrall uncorks a potion and and gives it to Cronk, who downs it just for the taste. Thothwick slashes at the Chimera, but the Mist absorbs the attack (-25). Galen is unable to hit the mist, and Isabella's jab at the Chimera is cut short by a layer of frost that she hits instead (-20). Vipera and William are thrown back by an explosion of ice shards that throw them backwards as the mist coils even more tightly around the Chimera. The Mist then lunges out and slams into William as he tries to get to his feet, tossing him into the air. He lands with a thud on the frozen ground (-[14/2]=7). As the poison eats away at the Chimera (-10) it shoots a blast of snow filled air that rains down on Cronk, freezing his joints (-17). Skrall and Isabella are healed thanks to their blessings (+3) and the Chimera grows once more in strength.

OoC: Correct. If the Chimera is not targetted, it gets its "granted" free hit and its normal mechanics free hit.

OoC: Vipera should have blessed Isabella last round, not herself. It has been fixed. Round 4 Chimera Battle Skrall v. Chimera - Miss Hit Thothwick v. Chimera - Miss Hit Galen v. Chimera Mist - Critical Hit Critical Hit Isabella uses a potion Cronk v. Chimera - Special Damage I William uses a potion on Vipera Vipera v. Chimera Mist - Special Damage The battle continues. Skrall fires another successful shot at the Chimera (-([11+4+18]x3)-4=95). Thothwick follows up with a powerful slash (-21). Galen throws his dagger at the mist (-13). Isabella downs a potion (+10) as the Chimera breaths an ice storm down on Cronk once more (-[36-9]=27). William heals Vipera with a potion (+10) and Vipera flies at the mist, but it wraps tightly around the Chimera, protecting it the next round as it grows once more. The poison still bubbles on the inside of the near defeated beast. Isabella and Skrall each regain 3 health from their blessings.

Boomingham unsheathes his King of the Desert and lazily points it at Bluehood. "Lead on, Master Docken. To the Town Watch we go."

The lesson to be learned from Mafia as a whole: forgive and forget. Clearly this is a bigger offense than normal, but Bob is doing exactly what he should by restarting, and hopefully Flipz will see what he did and learn from it. He was clearly wrong. But we've all been there... to a degree. I trust the staff to handle it well. The other lesson to be learned from Mafia: It was probably the witches' fault.

I'm with def. I sit them out now unless it's a premise I really want to play, or players that I should be playing with. I think taking breaks now and again helps you in the long run. When def hops back in, I'll make sure I'm there for that though.

Round 3 Chimera Battle Cronk heals himself - Heal More Isabella v. Chimera - Miss Damage William uses Fire Bomb Galen uses Fire Bomb Skrall v. Chimera - Damage Special Damage Thothwick v. Chimera - Miss Hit Vipera v. Mist - Shield The battle continues. Cronk calls for his angel, who breaths a holy gust of air on him, restoring him to full health. Isbella is unable to get close enough to the Chimera to strike it. William and Galen throw their bombs, dealing 20 damage the mist and 12 to the Chimera. Skrall starts to load his bow when the Chimera's massive and growing paw smashes into the ground next to him. Stones shower upwards and Skrall is smashed by them, thrown backwards (-24/2=12). Thothwick dodges forward and cleaves a patch of fur off the foot (-[25-4]=21). Vipera blesses herself as Skrall's blessing helps him (+3). The Chimera continues to grow in might as the poison eats away (-10). The Enemies Chimera Level 25 Icy Beast Health: 171/565 SP: 4 Special I: Chimera’s Bane – Deals 36 damage to attacker.

Boomingham sighs, sheaths his swords, and leans against a wall. He takes out his flask and takes a monster swig, finishing it. "Well, there we have it. You're a very interesting man, Bluehood, I'll give you that. I can't argue against power. Power is the only thing really worth seeking, I'll agree with you there too. There isn't two ways about. Control over our own lives during our own life is the only thing we've got, be there gods or not." "I'm going to tell you a story. It's a true story, and it happened long ago, and it's about power, so you're going to want to listen closely. During the Orcish Invasion, there was a troop led by a King. He wasn't a particularly good King, irresponsible, wishy-washy, loud, entitled, the like. You know the sort. Luckily, his kingdom wasn't very large, and he didn't really have that much power, so not too many people suffered due to his poor leadership. The King's goal was more power, which he thought meant more land and more subjects and more gold and more ladies and more drinks and food and all those things." "There was someone else in the King's division who wanted more power, a young mage named Linus. The King was sort of young too, but this mage was seventeen or eighteen. He wanted his own kingdom. Now, the King was a crap King, but he wasn't that bad of a commander, and the Orcs wanted him out of the way, so they went to this young mage and they had him lead the entire division into an ambush. They promised him the King's kingdom when the war was over. The King and the young mage were the only two to escape." "The King tracked down the young mage, trying to figure out what had happened. The young mage used all his remaining energy and froze the King in time. The King was powerless as the years rushed by. He didn't even know it until about 250 years later, a few seconds later for him. He had been powerless that whole time." "When he reappeared, he did some research. His kingdom had been burned to the ground. His wife had escaped and remarried. He hadn't had power over that. She hadn't missed him. The young mage was never heard of again. He had been eaten by Orcs. The King had no power over that either. The King's son had died, burned with his kingdom. The King had no power over that either." "And see, here's the thing. The King learned something. Power isn't what he thought it was. It isn't what the mage thought it was. It isn't more land and more control over more people. Power isn't burning cities or making your enemies cower, like you think it is. It isn't making everyone equal. People aren't equal. Some of us have more power. That's because we've earned it. That's because we are smart and strong enough to have power. Weak people should not be handed power. That's not safe." "See, this is what it comes down to. We have one power in this world, and this right here is why I say screw the gods and their existence. Our one power is getting to pick how good of a mark we leave on the world. Some of us won't be remembered. Those aren't the powerful ones. Some of us will be remembered for ruining things with idiotic plans or evil intentions. That would have been you. Finally, some of us are remembered for stopping those evil doers and making a name for themselves. That's going to be me. I'll let my friends each make their own choices, but once they're done, it will be you versus me, chappo, and I promise you, the world will remember how Lord Boomingham of the Lost Kingdom stopped Bluehood the Goofy Mage from ruining Eubric."

"Well, this is going to be fun. Alright Bluehood, let's just stop playing this game. You are clearly the person to blame for the machines malfunction. No shock, please. A number of the other investors indicated a suspicion of you, and you're a mage, which already means that you can't be trusted. Now you're trying to prevent us from talking to Szalinski. Come on now, come clean and make this easy on all of us. Onward and upward my good man." Boomingham lowers his voice and addresses Nur. "Also, if I could get my sword back really quickly, that would be superb, my friend."

OoC: Guys, look at who decided to show their lovely face finally! (PS: Fixed WBD). Also, once again VP, you need to pay attention. We've already talked twice in this quest about how your crossbow works. You must fire twice to use it's hastened effect, it does not make you hastened just to have it in your inventory. Round 3 Chimera Battle Skrall v. Chimera - Critical Hit Aim Galen v. Chimera - Hit Miss Thothwick v. Chimera - Shield Critical Hit William v. Mist - Damage William v. Mist - Critical Hit Cronk - Frozen Isabella - Frozen Vipera - Frozen The battle continues. Skrall fires a shot directly into the monster's mouth (-([([11+4]x2)+18]x3)-4=140). Galen stabs at the beast from afar (-[14/2]-4=3). Thothwick attacks the Chimera, beating at the mist billowing around it's body (-([8x3]+17)-4=37). William prepares to fire on the mist, and as he does so it slams into him and freezes his entire left arm (Damage to Mist: (-([5x2]+14)x2=48) (Damage to William: 14/2=7). The other heroes thaw out and tumble to the ground. The poison does its work (-10) as the Chimera grows in strength once more.

No, I think it was discussed at some point that heroes who wanted to quest together should have the option of "picking their team". I thought I'd see how it worked out. Forexample, if Alexis, Althior and Benji really wanted to quest together again, this would be a sure fire way of assuring that, and I wouldn't be able to split it up. It also allows you the pick the PL, as opposed to the host.

A flustered looking U'Kin in a suit bursts into the hall. He doesn't say a word to anyone, but instead rushes to the quest board, pins a note there, and exits.

Reread the first page of the quest. Also, just telling you and Rumble Strike, I haven't forgotten about your battle... I'm stalling on purpose. I think we know where it's going anyway.

You have five charges. How many have had a story based around them so far?

We are 5/7 into the Dastan Trilogy. I plan all my quests in phases (as evidenced in the QM Lounge where I posted my outline for the Riot Quest). We are wrapping up the 5th of seven phases. We've already passed my longest phases though - being 2, 3, and 5. Both phase 6 and 7 are relatively short.

#38 will not leave until after Dastan has finished. 39, however, might start as the final battle in Dastan rages... which should happen within the next... two weeks I'd say/hope?

You clever bastard. Fixed! And yes, I just don't know how to cleverly write it in to the combat descriptions. The Chimera has no gold for you to technically steal, so it's just materializing in your coin purse, I guess.
