Results of Round 1 of the Hallway Guard Fight Cronk v. Vet Guard - Critical Hit Eric v. Vet Guard - Damage Hans v. Guard A - Shield Phil v. Guard C - Hit Jess v. Guard A - Miss Docken v. Guard A - Hit Henry v. Guard B - Special Damage Felton v. Guard B - Critical Hit The battle commences. Cronk, normally even-headed, is angered by Lady Wren's sneaky methods, and takes his anger out on the Veteran Guard, dealing 16 damage. Eric, not wanting to be out down, hits the Veteran Guard while he is down, killing him instantly, which is how Eric has dealt with pretty much every opponent on this Quest. Hans gets caught up in the head of the battle and does 5 damage to all remaining Guards. Phil smashes his hammer down, sapping 4 health out of Guard C. Jess swings at Guard A, but she totally misses her target as blood from her nose flies in her line of vision. Docken does not allow the Guard to retaliate against his fellow hero and kills him with a well placed shot. Henry's weapon flies, but once more in the dim lighting he misses his target, who yells to summon another guard. Felton grumbles something about always bringing up the rear as he stabs at Guard B, doing 4 damage.

Guard D - Damage The battle continues. Cronk is thrown off and stumbles, missing his target, who calls forth yet another Guard. Eric loses it totally again, and his body quakes as he swings his club and smashes all four Guards, killing two and grievously injuring two more, 14 damage to each. Hans misses, as the guards are getting back to their feet. Phil's hammer backfires as Guard D is too weak for it to have any effect. Jess stumbles and falls backwards as the Guards call forward a third guard. Docken tries to attack Guard D but as he does so the Guard swings, doing damage to both him and Felton.

Guard D - Damage The battle continues. Cronk, still scrambling for footing, slashes at Guard D, who darts in and does 2 damage to him. Eric once more swings his mighty club and smashes all the guards. The club at this point is painted almost entirely the color of blood. Eric ends the lives of Guard D and E, and leaves F on the inch of his life. Hans quickly finishes off the last Guard. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS.

But please be honest. I'm trying to help you speed along and save your missing allies!>

No, no, Shadowghast said there were two! I'm saying that we shouldn't let HIM slither off tomorrow. But you neither mister! Also, would anyone like to donate their bodies to dinner science after they've been killed? I have this form to fill out if so!

I'm so sorry to be throwing out suggestions again. Really, I am. But when I've been deprived of flesh this long I'm afraid have some self-destructive tendencies! GRRRRRRRrrrrrrr... flesh. What were we talking about? Oh yes. It is possible that he invites investigation because he is on a scum team and he will have his team check him out, and then claim he's town. I'm just saying, bear in mind he is NOT CLEARED. According to him, there are two teams of scum, so he could easily just be scum from another team trying to clear his name with this. Point is - his evidence makes today's vote obvious, but do not allow him to slither out of questioning tomorrow.

Are you hungry for the flesh of your own kind too?! Mmmmmmmmm. I'll Vote: Drakius Knight (Dragonator). It is the obvious choice.

"I've been threatened by her before, but she kept her cool ."

I'd say the results are pretty inclusive! I'll vote for him as soon as we're allowed. The only way to test if there was an insane meal anyway would be to vote him out, the vote was going his way either way. Inclusive = Conclusive. Sorry. I was thinking about flesh.

Well the vote today is obvious and apparently exploring different options is frowned upon, so what do you want people to say exactly?

Hey don't get down! I said a week and a half about a half a week ago, and I'd say about a week from here! And don't worry, unless your party is a huge failure, you should be with them again... in about a day or two!

"The missus always says that I'm bad at keeping track of time. Oh well, I will also drink a canteen."

The party walks down the hallway and runs into 4 more guards, who stop lounging and prepare to fight them. Before the battle begins Lady Wren's voice whispers in their ears "8 hallways means you all lose 1 health!" Electrical shocks play across all their skins, and the guards back up for a few seconds before charging back at them.

I was not asking you to reveal your meal! I was just wondering if insanity was an option (may seem far-fetched, but we apparently have two gangs in a group of 17, so who knows what's possible). But as I said, the scum name makes it seem that that is not the case. I wonder where they put the dead body of Blazen! He must be all nice and crispy now.

Did you use the day investigator or a night investigator? I only ask because we are certain that the day one is not insane... though it seems unlikely with the name of a different gang that the night one would be insane either. How would it determine which gang name to spit out if it gave back insane results. I think today's vote is obvious.

"Don't drink yet! We only traveled half a day, I believe. Also, if I could get my hands on that fire gem... I haven't actually gotten a gem yet, and they seem quite the hot commodity."

The party finds nothing. The options are left, back, and forwards. Hallways Traveled: 7

The party heads back the way they came. When they enter the next split, they have the choice of forward, or going right. (You've already gone one of those ways!) Hallways Traveled: 6

The Cleric looks excited and runs to his desk, throws around a bunch of papers, and pulls out a worn sheet of paper which immediately bursts into flames. The Cleric shakes his head sadly.

The Cleric attempts to step outside of the room, but the leg he sets out bursts into flames. He quickly pulls it back into the room. The flame snuffs out immediately. "A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo," sighs the Cleric.

"Not a bad question. It's all Wr- A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo A Ace Refill Owlish Ill Wilt Orzo." The Cleric mutters the words to himself as the party backs away uncomfortably. The Cleric snaps out of it. "I hope that explains. I'm sorry, it was my only choice you see."

I have to agree. I feel rather mean to my party - I feel like I'm not giving them as great of upgrades as some of the other quests, but I did plan this quest to not really HAVE super-awesome prizes.

Upon seeing the heroes he throws up his arms, whimpers, and hides behind a chair. Hans drags him out. The Cleric starts to sputter. "Hello, um, hello, hello, hi, I'm the Cleric. I can... well, please don't hurt me. I'm sorry. I hate these games like you but I needed money... um, don't hurt me. I can heal 4 members of your party back to perfect health! And you don't have to use it right now. You may use my ability at any time... yes, anytime, really. Just... don't hurt me, please!" The only exit is back the way that they came. (The Cleric will remain in his office. You may visit him at any point, but it will cost you the amount of hallway travels it would normally. He will heal a total of 4 members of your party to perfect health and then be useless to you. You may use this ability now or later, up until the final fight of the maze). Hallways Traveled: 5

I love all these characters so much, I only have one issue, and it's not anyone's fault at all! I personally have a obsession with relationships (not like love interests, but all kinds, friends and enemies and lovers and all those) and while I'm not having trouble keeping characters straight, there are so many people who all interact so much, I'm afraid I'm losing track of who knows who, who is friends with who, who doesn't like who, etc. It's a personal joy/obsession, but I wish I could keep track of it better. It's something I always obsess over - in television shows (LOST in particular) it is fascinating to see how long characters don't and do see each other, and who they are all friends/enemies with. Random thoughts: brought to you by Zepher.

<Would it be appropriate to run this round automatically do you think? Since you can't take damage anyway... what do you think Brickdoctor?>

<I should have 2 canteens left!> "They won't let us skin these critters. I tried with the beetle," Boomingham tells Nyx, sadly. "I'll buy you a present when we return to the Hall if you take them all out with one fire burst though!" Boomingham targets the Purple Mutant from the front row and prays that he has better luck then he's been having.

Guard A - Damage Docken v. Guard A - Shield Henry v. Vet Guard - Special Damage The battle commences. Phil charges forward and slams his hammer into the Vet Guard, doing 15 damage. Felton follows behind him, and while the Vet Guard stumbles around, dizzy from the blow, Felton lands a hit dealing 2 damage. Hans howls and corners Guard C, but as he swings the Guard ducks and he misses. Cronk sees that the Guards are remaining strong, even after the first three heroes have fought, and he takes up the Sentinel Position. Eric's blood pumps through his body and he feels warm after all his recent victories. He steps up to Guard B and clubs his chest in, doing 22 damage. The guard, gasps, falls, and dies. Jess runs forward, but her thoughts are of Haldor and she is distracted. Guard A rams her face with the butt of his sword, breaking her nose and inflicting 2 damage. Blood splatters everywhere and she begins to sob. Docken yells at Jess to get back and, angered by his friends pain, let's fly three arrows, dealing 17 damage to each and killing the Vet Guard and Guard C. Henry lets his weapon fly, but it clanks off Guard A's armor, and Guard A calls forward Back-Up Guard A to fight.
