<Sorry, I knew I was going to be out all day. Hope it wasn't too painful waiting! > "Yes." The heroes go to sleep. "That was cute." The heroes awaken the next morning. Day 3 - Visit Factories with Felton (2 Left), Visit Rebels with Hans (2 Left), Visit Town with Felton (1) SIR POLETAD - He may be used, in some circumstances, to sneak ahead, due to his small size, and see the strength/number of certain enemies. You may take him on 3 of the remaining 5 days, use him wisely.

"Well, well, well, Ms. Prissypants. You don't need to get all sassy. Let me tell you a story. Once, while I was serving during the Orcish invasion, I met a young man named Harold. He was a decent soldier, a mage in my unit, and yes, it was my unit because it was under me. He was a little aloof, not like you at all, my dear, please don't take this personally, but he would watch me and the other soldiers party every night and laugh at us, telling us we were making ourselves slow, making ourselves stupid. He said that he would stay sharp. One day, in a battle, a small group of us were surrounded by Orcs. I said we had to cut forward, get to the other side of the force, and he told me I has drunk away my brain, and that I was dithering old fool, which was rather unfair considering I was only twenty one at the time and he was nineteen. So he went backwards to meet up with the rest of the unit, and I went forward into the fray with my men, and we lived and he didn't, because he wasn't smart enough to listen to me. I told his family he died a hero, but he didn't. He died deserting. Sometimes, other people know what's best for us. I don't like mages, Ms. Nyx, I find them to be full of themselves and think that their lives are more important than the lives of others, and beyond Orcs there is nothing I despise more than a mage. Now, you and Mr. Marvelo have proven to me that you are decent folks, and I quite like the both of you, but do not make me change my mind, because I can and I will." Boomingham hums a little military march to finish off his speech and then thrusts at San Di from the front row. "I'm sorry, ma cherie, but this General won't die and I haven't seen liquor in days and I'm losing my temper a bit."

"I was thinking of using any bombs that we had to blow the factory sky high. And Skrall, forgive me for being rude, but those factory workers may not have too much of a choice. You do realize that the government is oppressing them? There is a reason there is a rebel group. A sizable rebel group. Also, you have yet to really meet Wren, I understand if you don't understand here, but... she's more powerful than you're acting. If she wants something... it's hard to stop her." "It's true. I was stuck in that Arena for three different tournaments before Jess and Co. broke me out. It felt like a few weeks. It took a year off my life. Bah. Damn wench. Though I still wouldn't trust the rebels as far as I could spit. As for the story, I don't think it sounds too different than normal "heroes" to me. You lot may be decent, other than the coward, I haven't forgotten you fled Dyric, but you "heroes" think you can get away with anything just because you're heroes". It's vain. "When did you get so jaded?" "Has anyone seen any flies around?"

I'm excited to see Quest 7, if it's still making the cut . Either way, great job so far! They're looking really nice!

Hehe, sorry WBD, I'm encouraging RPing now that you can't! But don't worry about it man, I hope your computer gets back to you in one piece, and in two weeks from now, we should still have a significant amount of the Quest to go, though hopefully not too much!

<Lots of auto-played rounds, I know, but you were down to one enemy and no one was really in danger of being KO'd, so, I hope no one disagrees, if they do we can back-track!> Chaos Beast of Life Round Four Dyric – Retrieves Knife Felton v. Minion A – Hit Tensi v. Minion C – Damage (it doesn’t matter since you took damage this round, but bear in mind that Darkness does not damage Demons) Skrall v. Minion A – Critical Hit Hoke v. Minion B – Hit Jess v. Minion C – Miss Haldor v. Minion A – Hit Dyric rushes forward to pick up the knife and the note, and after retching his knife free hops back from Minion A as he growls at him. Felton rams his sword into the Minion as it tries to catch up with Dyric (-7). Tesni, furious that her opponent fled, does not see as Minion C sneaks up behind her, and barely catches him with her shield as he launches himself at her. Some of the flames lick her skin and singe it (-2). Skrall fires an arrow, once more clogging Minion A’s free eye socket (-28). Hoke cleaves Minion B in two and it explodes, showing them all with burns skull bits. Jess, trying to dodge skull bits, cannot properly focus on her target, but her love finally scores a hit, ending Minion A’s short demonic life.

Minion C – Shield Jess v. Minion C – Shield Haldor v. Minion C – Miss Dyric retrieves his knife as Felton swings at and then misses the firey head. Tesni cries out, encouraging her allies. Skrall fires a bolt which implants itself in the skull (-28), and while Hoke prepares for another round Jess makes another round unnecessary by killing the beast, which explodes to give Jess 13 gold.

If no ether, than he regains 1 ether. The heroes stand in the room of broken bodies as the guards rush in. "What the hell happened here?" asks the grumpy looking guard. Sir Poletad quickly hops back into Skrall's satchel. "A chaos beast broke in. He killed the workers. My mercenaries dispatched of it." The guards stare at the bodies, looking skeptical. "We can't have skinned all these men..." Felton reasons with them. The guards quietly nod to themselves. "Witches and demons," mutters the grumpy looking guard. The heroes step outside the factory and look around, but the Chaos Beast has vanished from sight. ---------------------------------- The heroes sit around the fire that night, chatting, when Felton suddenly brings something up. "What was on that parchment that the Chaos Beast left behind?" Dyric takes it out of his pocket, and passes it around. The heroes stare at the story, and then each other. The fire cackles. Sir Poletad crawls out of Skrall's pack and ribbits. <I'm going to encourage some RPing here, just for a few hours. You can regulate it yourself, just post in bold when you'd like to go to sleep, and once you all have I'll start the next day! We've had so much fights so far, I want to make sure I'm not just rushing y'all along, and that you get a chance to have some fun and growth.>

"Nyx, with me, you other two, take out that damn guard, Sylph, you can sit this one out." Boomingham chuckles as he once more slashes towards San Di from the front row.

Chaos Beast of Life Round Three Dyric v. Minion B – Shield Felton v. Minion B – Critical Hit Tensi v. Chaos Beast – Extra Critical Hit Skrall v. Chaos Beast – Miss Hoke v. Chaos Beast – Special Damage Jess v. Chaos Beast – Shield Haldor v. Minion A – Miss Dyric throws his knife at Minion B, lodging it in the skull’s remaining glowing eye (-15). Felton follows him as he tried to tear the knife out of the hole, and smashes his sword down on the skull, cracking it. Fire erupts outwards throwing the two heroes back, and Dyric lands near gold which he quickly pockets. Tesni drags herself towards the beast once more and finally scores a hit. Chunks of bones fly and pepper the air as her nearly purple smog covered sword slices off a piece of the beast (-90). The monster hisses at her. Skrall fires an arrow at it while it is distracted, but it passes through one of the many rib cages, not hurting the beast. Hoke attempts to cleave off a small amount of the monster, and at first he appears to succeed until it becomes evident that the monster has created a third minion. Jess also attacks the Chaos Beast successfully (-37), and though she is tossed back she once more fines gold on one of the workers. “I don’t know why these guys were working, they all seem stinking rich,” Felton mutters. The Chaos Beast slithered out through a window as the minions crowded back the party. It hissed as it went, and dropped a tattered piece of parchment, folded up nicely like a note.

"Oh don't heal me yet I'm not in any danger of being taken out! Attack!"

Wow, all very impressive. The figures and scenes are instantly recognizable, really no complaints to be made from me! Keep up the good work!

"Well, San Di, it seems that I've underestimated you! That was some fancy sword play. Reminds me way back when, in the Orcish Invasion, there was this one Orc champion, claimed he could swing a sword faster than anyone. He made the mistake of insulting my wife, so I had to dispatch of him, but still, he was a great swords man. Where was I? Oh, right, how about another bout, San Di! Sylph, take out the guard, and have Barur help you out, one of your ought to land a hit. Marvelo, help them out. All of you folks from the front row, be brave, he can't take any of you out." Boomingham attacks San Di from the front row.

I'm quite happy with my potential ending. Though of course, it could change, and of course, I know I'm not the only one guiding Zoot's path, so I'll just say I'm happy with my potential ending to the Wren Quests!

I don't know who else is using Zoot, or which form of Zoot, but from the start of the Wren Quests I have known who the final boss of the Wren Quests (still planning a total of five ) will be. You did say at some point that you never wanted this game to involve heroes fighting Gods, so I've made sure that won't happen, but never fear, Zoot will be prominent and I think people will like the (potential) ending. On the other side of things, Boomingham does not believe in any Gods, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

<Sorry heroes, I swear, I’m not rigging this!> Chaos Beast of Life Round Two Dyric – Retrieve Knife Felton v. Chaos Beast of Life – Damage Tensi v. Chaos Beast of Life – Special Damage (Tonic) Skrall v. Minion B – Critical Hit Hoke v. Minion A – Miss Jess v. Minion A – Special Damage Haldor v. Chaos Beast of Life – Damage Dyric skips around the bones and digs for his knife in the bones as Felton slashes at the monster, who catches him in its jaws and nearly tears him apart before hurling into into a pile of bones (-10). Tesni like-wise charges the Beast, but black smoke appears at its mouth and a tonic propels out of it, hitting her in the head and catching her off guard. Skrall fires a bolt at Minion B, who Sir Poletad is hopping around. The bolt lands in in the Minion’s glowing eye (-28) and stays there. Sir Earl ribbits in fear and hops away. Hoke swings at his target, but it dodges under his sword, and Jess is caught off guard as her target retreats to its mother, most likely to heal her, though she is not wounded. Haldor raises his weapon, ready to crack some bones, but the monster’s jaws rip through his arm before he can bring it down (-10).

Hahaha, Bob, I love the opening to this Chapter. The doctor shift was the best by far, I actually laughed.

<I'm understanding of real-life Legonator! Skrall can pick your actions until you return to fighting form. I hope everything is alright.> Chaos Beast of Life Round One Dyric v. Minion B – Miss Felton v. Chaos Beast of Life – Hit Tensi v. Chaos Beast of Life – Miss Hoke v. Minion A – Special Damage Skrall v. Minion A - Damage Jess v. Minion A – Shield Haldor v. Minion B - Sheild Sir Earl Poletad – Skip Dyric charges towards Minion B but fire explodes from the Minion’s Head. Dyric stumbles backwards, his cloths singed. Felton charges forward towards the Choas Beast, perhaps hoping to dispel any distrust he was sensing from the others. He plunges his sword into the beast, snapping a few bones off (-7). Tesni also throws herself at the beast, but its tail whips around and catches her midriff, slamming her back against a wall. Hoke’s enemy hops out of the way and picks up some bones to replace the ones that Felton lopped off (+7). Skrall’s opponent hops under his crossbow bolt and into his face, biting his check and tearing off some flesh (-4). Jess takes advantage of the Minion’s advance and attacks it, sending it flying until it smashes into the skeleton of one of the workmen (-37). Gold spills out of the tatters robes the skeleton has covering it, and Jess picks them up. Haldor, tired of failing, prays to the Gods and restores the entire party to full health. Sir Earl Poletad hops around in all the chaos, attempting to avoid the battle.

I mean, Skrall.... we Frog warriors are not useless! But you are right, perhaps I should wait until later! Ribbit!" "Oh, you found one of my lovelies! Come here lovely. Come to mommy." Wren calls to the beast. The Chaos Beast of Life will flee the battle at the end of the third round.

"San Di, this is getting ridiculous, would you please just come face me like a man. All hands on deck this round, chaps." Boomingham lunges at San Di from the front row.

No problem Capt! I'm sorry I'm being a sour puss, the quest has been great, I just think that we're both in agreement that it had potential to be about a month shorter if we had all posted promptly. Nothing against you my friend.

It wasn't secret. When multiple Quests are going on, we start a discussion via PM. Brickdoctor told us he needed a Knight, and was worried that none had signed up, so I told him he could have me if I got back. Of course, I didn't in time, but yeah, we Quest Masters have talks. We also divi up heroes so we all get some of the players we think would flourish in our Quests. Fun story: Due to skimming and excitement of having Jess and Haldor on a Quest together, I stole Haldor out from JimBee. Left him without a high level Cleric by accident.

All the NPCs will get more backstory this Quest! Keep your eyes open. ...here's hoping. It has been a nice Quest, but it's been nearly three months, and only thirty-six pages...... I want to get onto another Quest, I've missed so many at this point.

Unless specified, I think you can assume that we're using the last order.

<Sorry, it shouldnt't be increased by one, you've reached the lovely half level increases from a battle. You don't go up every one battle, now you go up every TWO. Welcome to level ten and up buddy >

< Hans doesn't come to factories, remember? He hasn't been super quiet, he just hasn't been with you. >

That's a bit of a tough question. The issue is this: I can't say no to more Chaos. Wren worships a specific God, Zoot, and it wouldn't be fair for me to steal all of Zoot's story-line for myself. Wren is but one follower of Zoot. Of course, I'd like to know if others plan to use Zoot, because, well, in my opinion Wren would at the very least be aware of any fellow Zoot followers, she seems to be intelligent enough that she would know if they existed, but again, I can't force everyone to report into me, that would be unfair. I will say that if there are any other users of Chaos Wren would not like or respect them, and would most likely not be working alongside them or training them.

The party rushes up the steps to the Breakroom, where they are greeted with quite a sight: "It's a Chaos Beast! Cronk, Hans, Mr. Cleric and I fought one on our way out of the Arena... it must have gotten loose and.... well, the workers are gone, let's just say! Prepare for battle heroes! We can NOT let this monster live!" "Hahahaha and you were doubting Felton. How silly, dears."
