Zepher

Says the exiled arms dealer.

Could be cool though. I'm running myself, so I don't really have legs to say it, but why should the heroes run the city? They seem way less qualified than many others I can think of. Skuld4prez. I was assuming that too. Wonder how it'll pan out.

I believe you can still nominate her! Don't forget the NPCs either! If Cousland hadn't been such a jerk to Boomingham for the last four years, she'd probably have his nomination.

OoC: Just a reminder, Sandy. "Take as many of them alive as possible," says Boomingham, forgoing any preparation.

OoC: Updated in the most recent post, thanks Scuba! Also put in the photos that were missing! The heroes flee the battle swiftly, and end back up on deck. They pause for a moment to see if the skeletons will pursue them, but after just a second or two the clattering of bones stops and the skeletons return to their eternal place of guardianship. David watches as the heroes down their drinks. He bunches up his mouth. "Back in, then? It would be best if we distributed your phoenix essences, Guts."

Yeah I'm trying to track down that first conversation. I do love reading the Hall. Some of those characters... there are so many I would have voted for as far as funniest character goes. Hybros is hilarious. There's a point early on in the Hall where he finds Boomingham drunk talking to Haldor and someone else about women, and he "doesn't understand petty human relationships" and then observes that Boomingham is repaying debts and sort of laughs at him.

Find it. I do want to go back and re-read their conversation. I think I (Zepher) may have backed you, not so sure about Boomingham. But I could be wrong! Doesn't matter. Boomingham is forgetful. Can't find their first conversation, but found lots of conversations about Guts trying to be King: First Mention (I think, Guts seems to have not considered it until the next post): Campaigning: Accepting his destiny: And this is the closest I can find to an endorsement:

@Kinto @Em

While the Future King was talking to some of his confidantes earlier today, he expressed concern over boxing out Karie. Sorry, Kinto. It's funny, from Syndicate onwards Boomingham hated Karie, and Karie was sort of more on the side of "let's forget about it". Now, 105 onwards, Boomingham has sort of moved on since his debt feels filled, and Karie is the one who is more "I'll never forgive". I really love re-reading the opening of 70. Boomingham really took a liking to Karie. Made it all the better. As for Guts v. Boomingham... I think they've only met once. Regardless of whoever ends up being the two heads of the Alliances, it'll be cool to see it ripple through OTHER characters. I imagine, for example, Hybros will back Guts, but he and Boomingham are fast friends too. So, what then? Great change to the status quo.

OoC: The dragons can project to everyone's minds. <Come for the heart flame, have you?> Retraga laughs gruffly. <And you are their guide, little sister?> A new dark shape blots out the sky, and a great burst of flame burns above the ship. The heroes look up, and see a smaller but thornier dragon, even older in years, peering down at them. "Foolish young ones. Flying into the home of dragons." This dragon can growl in the human tongue. He peers down at the heroes with his glinting red eyes. <Silence, Alatreon. There are heroes of Heroica. You owe them as great a debt as I.> "My debt was paid. What offerings do they bring to The Brilliant Black Flame? Don't they know respect for their elders?" <Vipera is right. You and I have no right to molest Heroica.> Retraga sweeps ahead of the heroes. <But think on what you do, sister. Ballerai Firestomach may devour of your pets. Especially if they wish to see our flame.> The two enormous dragons land at the mouth of a cave, and a few moments later the ship itself settles down. Guffington and Lady Felix step onto the rock. "Elba, U'Or, remain with the ship. The heroes, Zora and I will follow our guides."

It seems on message for them to open it up to everyone!

OoC: He wasn't targeted. You were KO'd before you had the chance to target him.

"I will do my best, Matthias. May the Light favor me today." OoC: Also think I may have made too many of the enemies immune to instant death. I have removed that from the Crews starting this round.

Yeah, I think they're a permanent fixture of the game. I wish there had been more of an inciting incident for them. But I guess it's just been the game so far. I do like that the Crescent Hill was partly formed because the Count felt left out. As for me, I'm Sungold baby! Boomingham will be running for King. Good luck, Guts! Though, yeah, no way these two sides end up equally balanced, and if I was ignoring RP I'd obviously pick Crescent... those upgrades are killer, and Sungold's got nada for me.

"Alright. Onwards and upwards. We go to the Lodestar in, unless we can find the Black Market. Let's go." Boomingham draws his blade and rushes to the Lodestar, praying to whoever that his plan hadn't failed terrifically and that the Black Scorpion was still alive. Surely the Black Market could only move as fast as the heroes.

Bobby had never seen a creature like the dragon before. "Yo, bros. Here's how this is going to play, aight? You all go save Eckmar and Polly. Take the key or whatevs." Bobby glances over his shoulder at Na'im. "Use that book, yo. See if you can do some shiz to these weirdos with it. But like, we didn't move those rocks for nothing." Forgoing attacking the underworlders directly, Bobby tries his best to break the chains holding the dragon. He continues this attempt until knocked unconscious.

"What they did? From what I can tell, they committed the crime of being born not human. That's it. End of story." <The Dastanians handle affairs for themselves. But I would not stand for it. Everyone must have a chance at freedom and power. But as you say, that is not my affair.> <No eyes either,> says Vipera from Hoke's shoulder, not even glancing back at Purpearl, Arthur, Felix, Guffington and Hybros. <You will have to keep them closed if you wish to keep them at all.> "Speak your mind fully, Hybros. What do you think we should do with the flame? It is an infinite source. Do you think the people of Dastan should also have it?" Hybros picks up the gauntlets, and assesses them. Ancient Gloves of the Dragon Mother (Handwear, Allows the wearer to handle the Dragon's Heart Flame) As the ship grows nearer to the cave, a great dark shape blots out the sun for a short while. Then, an enormous dragon, larger even than Torc, draws alongside the ship. <Greetings, sister Vipera,> calls a strong, ancient voice, rough with years of battle cries. <Who do you bring to the ancient home of the Dragons? Heroes, I sense? I am Retraga.> The dragon voice, it's mere presence, is that of a warrior and scholar, a victory and melancholy, hundreds of years pounding down ion the heroes. They have never been to see the home of one of the truly ancient races before.

I like it a lot. I don't know why everyone is complaining about it - just think of all the incredible RP that will come out of it! Can't wait to get Pretzel and Nerwen back in the Hall together... hoping that Pretzel isn't lost forever. But seriously, will be very cool. Would be cruel more than once, but in this case, I'd have been happy to have been on that quest.

OoC: Sorry Scuba, wasn't trying to render Guts entirely useless. Just built the battle without paying too much attention, I guess. But it still looks winnable to me, so hopefully everything will be okay. Crew of the Iceborn Battle Round One Guts uses Tiger Balm on Marauders (Immune to Effects) >Guts v. Crew A/Marauders - Critical Hit/Riposte (No Effect) >Matthias v. Crew C - Damage (60/2-4=26 Damage) Dyric v. Cabin Boy - Aim (26 Damage Cabin Boy, Marauders, Crew A) >David v. Crew B - Miss Marauders grant themselves Lucky (Immune) Matthias is surrounded and crushed by boney arms, though Dyric is able to hold off a majority of the crew.

Computer is back up and running! Photos are thankfully alive and well. All hail IT!! I have some real world work to catch up on since I've been without a computer for four days, so updates will come very late tonight, or in the afternoon tomorrow, but then things will continue at their normal pace once more. Thanks for bearing with me throughout this, very glad to have my laptop back!

"I've lived in Eubric since I can remember. From what I can tell, Dastan runs a bit different than the Free Islands. But... well, I used to be a Bonaparte men, and they've got some fine enough men in those ranks - one of them should be in the process of transporting your friends and Daneeka right now - but, I've seen oppression. I've been to the Hovels. Seems to me the U'Kin have it even worse than those people in the Hovels - at least with the current leadership they have a shot of making it out, if even marginally. Sven seemed to have a no U'Kin no matter what policy. That doesn't sit right with me. Course, I've known U'Or for a long time too, so anyone who thinks a U'Kin isn't as smart as any other fellow, well, I happen to know that they're dead wrong. Even if the U'Kin do have a funny way of speaking." Vipera leads the way through the sky. After they've flown for a decent distance at great speeds, she is able to loop back to rest on Hoke's shoulder. <Aim for the tallest mountain ahead, Captain,> she says. "Seems like it." Lady Felix overturns her bag and too incredibly heavy gauntlets fall onto the floor of the ship, denting the wood. She grimaces at that damage, but turns to the party. "So, whose going to slip these on?" "Yes. Well-" U'Or opens up his briefcase and begins to ruffle through some papers, but Guffington shoos him away. "Do not worry, U'Or. I can tell Hybros what we are looking for." "Up ahead, where Mr. Abelsword's dragon friend is leading us, lies a great flame called the Dragon's Heart Flame. The Dragon's Heart Flame is an ancient relic, said to be the very thing that gave us mortals - how shall I put this best - a passion for life. As well as our great power. The dragons have jealously guarded if for years, as they are wont to do. And who's to blame them? Which mortal race has more power and more passion. Which is a nobler race? The dragons have even tampered with the flame over the years. It's what granted them, so the legends go, the ability to fly and breath fire, to see glimpses of the heart and the soul. And we shall be trying to extract a tiny itty bitty ember." He smiles. "We'll have to see how that goes. Vipera, who I gather you all know, told Princess Ella and I that she would not be sorry to see a small portion of the flame go. It can replenish itself easily. But, as both you and I know, sometimes those with power wish to be the only ones with power, and Vipera is not the only dragon in Dastan."

Oh, it was! I'm not denying that. The Kingdom's force attacking was entirely up to you, though - either the Paladins and the Red Lizards, or the Nords and the Four Boulders. And the lives lost at the end were also up to you. We did have to force the bridge battle though. I'm a railroader and proud, I just build in as many options as I possibly can within the confines of the story.

"Not the luckiest adventurers. You just have a good guide." Prince David says too stiffly for the meager joke to land. Guts watches out for traps, but finds that he doesn't have to look particularly hard... stepping below deck, the walls half decayed wood and half ice frozen into the shape of the once full hull, the heroes come across an entire crew of skeletons, who rattle out of their frozen hiding places and pick up old swords.
