I'm still having trouble with some of them as well. Most Humorous Moment? Best Battle? Antagonistic NPC? Best Plot Twist? And then those there are too many good options for: Friendly NPC?? Those are the ones I have left, at least.

"Very good," says Talligard. "It is as we expected. Heroes rarely have trouble with such tasks." "Yes, I know," she answers Guts. "When Gerald Guffington first came to us, no one called him the Great. He was a little boy, but with a great respect and joy for the world. We have seen many over the years, and we can read them easily, for the most part. Gerald was a good one. He did not fear our race, as some do - we are the great wardens of memories and dreams of those long go. But he was fascinated by us, by our persons, by our view. Very few mortals, with only one soul, can truly grow to appreciate the world and its constant fluid nature, it's lush history and endless future, and it's beautiful now. But Gerald did. So we gave him gold and let him explore." "Tell him from us a fond farewell. And be on your way. You may stay the night if you wish, but we warn Talligard is no decorator. The rooms are nearly bare." <Of course. I am no stranger to duty, Matthias. You must complete your contract. If you can arouse a retinue and return to Haddon upon completing your duty to Guffington, you would be most welcome, but if other duty calls shortly there after, it would be understood. Regardless, it has been a pleasure to get to know a Hero of Heroica as noble as yourself.>

"As long as you keep your head clear, Dyric." Eyric sizes up the other heroes, as if for the first time. "Remember, brother, you can return home if the need ever arises. Or if you need help setting something right." OoC: I believe he is having Guts project an opinion of you onto you - not forcing your hand roleplaying, simply saying how his character is intrepreting your actions, even if it's not Matthias' intention. So yes, Guts saying that. "I will lead the way." The heroes and their companions make their way out of the caverns and back into the great city of Duplovia. Outside the palace they bid farewell to McColt and Eyric. "Let me know when you're in the High Kingdoms next, Dyric." "And make it soon. I understand that coming home is hard. For many reasons. But I would like to see you for more than a day." The two disappear into the Palace and Daneeka leads the heroes back towards Talligard's Manor. Once inside, they find her in the same place they left her, more or less. "We are glad you were able to return so swiftly. Did you find what you needed?" <Matthias,> says Pylon, from the back of Talligard's Hall. <I beg your pardon, but I fear I must turn back to Haddon in a short while as well. The Shivering Square we left behind plagues my mind, and Guffington only arranged for me to accompany you as far as Duplovia as it is.>

"Stuck?" He snorts. "No, Mr. Holla. I have chosen to serve. It would sometimes be easier to wander out of Haddon and walk in those front doors of your Hall, where they accept anyone with a taste for gold. But I have chosen my path. Do not confuse that with a lack of ambition."

Yeah, I really advise it to anyone who has the chance/time - even skimming helps to really jog the memory! A lot of my votes were for newer quests, and then I re-read some older ones that just had to replace some newer ones - lots of golden moments and quests throughout the last few years.

OoC: You guys never got an explanation from U'Or since he was already on an airship to Dastan when he explained what the anvil was. You did get an explanation from Doc Daneeka, however. "It is said that the anvil created all things. I do not believe that is true, but it should have great powers of creation. That I don't doubt. Armor, weapons, buildings, golems - it would not surprise me if our most recent foe was birthed in this room. Perhaps even flesh and blood." <I often find that those who have great ability on their own forget about their community. Not all, but many. They forget to care for them, and forget too that they are supported by them. It is an easy lesson to forget, and a difficult one to teach.> Struggling to lift the anvil Daneeka's device clicks in and the gnome feels enormous strength rushing through his arms. He is able to lift the anvil in adoration, and his eyes go red as fire for a flash. He lowers the anvil. "What say you, Matthias? Is that the right anvil?" "It's no good, the way you heroes work, sometimes. Even in Haddon, even when facing Wren... the command aspect. I don't doubt any one heroes individual good will, but there's a lack of respect I would never accept from my own men." McColt glowers at Matthias, but also turns his gaze on Guts. "And a lack of respect I would never exhibit as a commander." "I can't help but agree. But they're a different sort of organization." Eyric watches his brother, clearly intrigued by Dyric's choice to ignore the inter-party conflict boiling below the surface. "But our foe is downed, and our relic collected. Shouldn't we head home?"

"I'll neutralize him," she says calmly.

Clearly you haven't hosted two dragoons and two marauders at the same time. They still one hit KO mobs pretty easy.

Yeah they're working out well for me in 139. I like that they're threatening at first, but then they dove-tail well in the end of the battle so it doesn't drag. They are a bit more to keep track of, but worth it. They also make it so that the battles can stay challenging, but the heroes aren't fighting really strong rats - I think it's important story-wise. It also makes even more so drives home the fact that they apparently massacre whole groups of people they don't like.

And mobs! Was that your idea, WBD? From what, the Message in the Bag of Holding?

"Dude. Not cool. You do not eff with Mide on my watch, bro." Bobby drags Mide to the back row and uses a Phoenix Essence on her.

Sorry to keep bumping this topic, but it really is absurd how long this game has been going... and how many memories I've forgotten... for example, the first quest we can vote on is Karie's first quest. That alone is kind of absurd to me. I've known Karie for years. And like, some of the stuff that's been introduced since we last voted. I don't think Pie had even hosted a quest last time around, or if he had it was just the one. Going back I found a bunch of quests I'd nearly totally forgotten about - The Syndicate Quest. The Hook on the Other Hand. Even Unblinking Eye of Terror I'd nearly totally forgotten about. Also, what are we counting most "WTF" moment as? Like, most shocking? Biggest twist? Most out of character? Most disturbing?

OoC: I will run the round first thing tomorrow, but no, the Mirror Sentinel will only protect you from the southern damage. I don't know if you want to alter actions to reflect that - you'll have about ten hours.

"Yo dude. That's pretty reasonable, is the thing, but like why wouldn't you just tell us all that shiz before we fought. Like, I didn't even know you didn't have all the other Nekrastones under your control, dude, especially if you were allies with the forest." Bobby sighs sadly. "But like, now we've already started fighting, and Mide wants to kill you, and you've got Polly, so like, too late, you dig? But a big bummer." Bobby attacks Phalanx Mob H from the back row.

The heroes continue on their way, following the map that Lady Talligard gave them. They run into no more guardians, and the high empty halls are too large even to echo at most places, the sound of their foot steps fading to nothing. Silence falls upon the heroes and their companions. In the deepest and darkest cave they come upon the anvil finally. It sits forgotten and dusty, and no light falls on it. The room itself is utter darkness. "That is our anvil." Daneeka looks to Matthias. "You'll do the honors?" "What about about the rumors of its powers? Don't you think it'd be wise to try a test run, see if it's really all that it's cracked up to be?"
