Round 1 of the Battle! Battle Order: >Throlar vs. Shadow A- Special Damage/Hit (12+1=13 damage) >Heckz vs. Shadow C- Sleight of Hand (-1 ether, Shadow C Confused) Eric- Downs a Mead (Eric is Encouraged) Eric vs. Shadow B- Shield (Shadow A, B, and C Blinded! 15+25+2=42x2=84 damage. ) Shadow D vs. Decoy- 10 damage Shadow E vs. Throlar- 10/2-6=0 damage Shadow F vs. Heckz- 10/2-3=2 damage Shadow's G and H Join Combat! The battle starts off strongly as Throlar manages to land a hit on his opponent. Heckz casts a spell on one of the shadows, causing it to become confused. Erik rips into multiple of the skeletal creatures, barrelling his way about. However, the party is so focused one front that the other manages to grab them from behind, dealing damage as their boney claws grab at the party, burning them. They wheeze and mutter unintelligible nonsense as the battle continues. The party can hear a door opening. "Wha-what's all the ruckus going on? I heard an ex-" At the sight of the shadows, Featherhead immediately shuts the door to his room. The party can hear him begin to weep furiously from his room. The party can hear thunderous footstep boulder down as Lydia stands looking over the carnage from the bottom of the stairs. "What in the hel's going on?" She's suddenly rushed by a shadow, the creature lunging for her from the darkness. She swiftly pulls out her sword and begins to hack away at the shambling entity. "I assume, your... urk, going to need some help?" QM Note: There's two special variant rules in affect. 1. Area of effect attacks affect enemies only in the direction you are attacking in. Keep in mind that the enemies attack normally. 2. Each Flank has a reserve. When a round ends, a new Greater Shadow will enter field from the reserve. When the reserve is depleted, no more enemies will spawn. All enemies from the reserves must be defeated in order for the battle to be successful. North Flank: 3/4 Reserve "..."

Annienal fumbles about, clearly panicked by the sudden entrance of the beasts from the bushes. "Okay, um... totally not freaking out here... We, um, really need to spread ourselves out. I can soak up some free hits, so, um... put me first. Also, um, best we avoided the second monkey. I really don't want to contend to a bunch of primates... especially not vicious, angry ones..." Annienal strikes at the Snake Warrior from the back row with her Bonaparte Cutlass.

I seriously hope Lego doesn't try and air this 22 minute short on television. That animation is super choppy at points. Other than that, I'm digging this theme's backstory and tone. Seems we've got a deceased grandmother leaving behind heirlooms for her granddaughter to use so she can get sucked away to magical dimensions in time and space, as well as hang out with Ashleigh Ball elf and company.

"Oh, aren't we one with words?" Lily coos in delight. "Dropped things... wait, there have been occasions when the beams couldn't pull something in. Sometimes they try to pull up a few sheep, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and they move on." "I won't be moving on from you anytime soon, though!" "Seriously though, you're going to be making out with one of us, right?" "Only people who try to protect the sheep get beamed up. When they've lifted the roofs off of houses, I've heard they only take away those that get in the way." "That's what happened to my boyfriend! He tried protecting the sheep and the beam just sucked the two of them up!" The two women giggle at Purpearl's comment. "We'll be waiting for you, Tall and Handsome and Brooding." They begin to blush as they eye the black knight. It was getting late. The sun was beginning to spread it's last bit of light as the cold darkness of night began to envelope the land. Would the party like to head back to the sheep's grazing area? ----- Maud shakes her head. "Baaaaaa! <Nope. Just whoever's out and about. If there's none left, sometimes they'll lift the roofs off of buildings and snatch the ones being hidden in there. Once they've got enough of us, they fly away... so many of our friends and family... gone.>" At Matthais's suggestion the two sheep begin to baa like crazy, the two heroes hearing "Nope, nope, nope!" "THAT JUST SOUNDS LIKE BAD NEWS. HOW WOULD WE ESCAPE? EVERYONE WHO'S ABDUCTED NEVER RETURN... WE SHOULD WAIT AND SEE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS HAVE TO SAY BEFORE WE MAKE UP A PLAN." Sorsha nods. After mentioning the abductions, she sounds a bit melancholic.

"I don't get why everyone's so excited to see this thing!" Annienal follows behind the party, clenching her notebook across her chest as she kept looking about.

QM Note: Noted and fixed.

QM Note: Oops. Eric took a smelling salts before combat. I seem to have forgotten to remove your effect from the previous fight. Stats should be fixed.

"UM, NO. WHY?" Sorsha looked at Seircon with some amount of distrust as he replied to the sheep. "Baa baa! <She has! She beat up a bunch of bullies at the Academy of Enlightenment, and her temper's pretty legendary. If she does, you should just do your best to comfort her, and be clear and concise. She generally only gets like that when she's really stressed out or really angry.>" "Baaaa! <She's loyal to a fault, I've heard. She mentioned you Heroicans in pretty high regards after the Academy incident on more than one occasion. She mentioned some city boy Sorcerer, a red head... there's a few others in there but I can't remember them. I heard she didn't have many friends at the Academy.>"

The party, finally finished making their preparations, bunker down as the swarm of gangly creatures begin to surround the party on all sides. The heroes could see other movements in the shadows, as if more of these abominations could lunge out at the party at any moment. The creatures moan and wheeze ghastly as they move closer to the party, twitching occasionally as their outstretched arms begin to grab at the party! With their room diminishing, the party would have to be ready for what lay ahead. Prepare for Battle! QM Note: There's two special variant rules in affect. 1.

"Um, yeah, cool and all that Erdy's spirit is fine and all, but what's this chain you're talking about?" Karie was suddenly worried about what was coming up next.

OOC: Allo, allo? Update coming soon.

Yeah, their luck's been pretty poor throughout the entire quest, which is both funny and infuriating. That's the way the dice gods roll.

"OKAY, I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED, IS ALL." Sorsha shrugs at Matthais's next question. I JUST TALK REALLY LOUD. IT'S WHO I AM. MY MOTHER TOLD ME TO BE MYSELF, AND MY FRIEND FROM HEROICA SAID THE SAME." "Baaa! <Taammy was taken away by the lights thirty moons ago! Oh, it was awful!>" "Baa. <Every time people show up with weapons it means we're probably going to see someone taken away. I wonder where all the other sheep went...>" Sorsha looks at Siercon a little confused. "UM... I ASSUMED YOU'D BE RIGHT BEHIND ME. DID YOU GUYS GET CAUGHT UP WITH SOMETHING? AND I CAN MAINTAIN SELF CONTROL! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, THAT BECAUSE I SPEAK LOUDLY I CAN'T? ARE YOU THAT UNSURE OF MY ABILITY?" "B-baa! <Uh oh...>" "Baa-aa! <Back off, hooded man! You'll unleash Sorsha the Savage if you keep at this, and when she starts, you can't stop her!>" The sheep seem more worried about Sorsha than the current question Seircon asked. ----- The two women jump, clearly startled at the two heroes approach. "Oh, sweet heavens to Betsey! You two startled me!" "Goodness! Sorry, we were just finishing our gossiping. Lily's my name, and this is Rachelle." Rachelle waves at the heroes as Lily continues to speak. "Oh, the Others? Well, I don't know... generally people have shot arrows, tried throwing weapons at the lights, since they hover about like big twinkling stars, as much as it doesn't work. They always hover about 15 feet above ground, but we've never seen anything come out of these lights. Just big balls of blinding light that beam sheep up... and occasionally our tribesmen..." "Lily's boyfriend got beamed up a few years back. Poor bastard." "Until I realized he was cheating on me for some city girl with tits the size of melons. Bastard..." Lily crossed her arms in a huff. The two women seem to giggle and become flirtatious as Lind takes off his helmet. "Oh, and who do we have here? Mr. dark and brooding?" "Oh, hello you! Why don't me and you have some time together if you manage to not go missing, eh?" "Hey, I saw him first, back off, Rachelle!" The two women both seemed interested in Lind as they began to argue over him.

I still want that mask, swils.

Get to it, community! Everyone and everything must be genderbent!

"I don't think it's him. If it was, we'd of known by now." Karie looks on at the curious spirit, not sure what to say.

Annienal stays back and looks around, trying to see what exactly was in the cemetery. "I, um, think I'll stay here and, um, just watch you guys..."

117 and 122, I'm sorry for the delay, I've needed some time to get some things sorted out. An update will come later tonight, I've got guests coming over and still need to take some photos. Really sorry guys.

QM Note: So no bombs? I'm going to rule no to the amount of bombs being tossed by Throlar potentially. It's way too much and it should be done in combat. If you want to take any consumables, do so now, though! Update will come soon!

Annienal knew well enough that Miderun would probably run anyone through who irritated her enough as she tried translating her friend's Orcish. "War is our nature, for men and women, for fools and heroes, for death and glory. I can, um, kind of, sort of understand that mentality. I, um, would prefer to keep my life in my romantic advances, though. Far too often people do really silly things that get themselves killed, all for a potential lover. At least, that's what happens in a lot of books I've read." "I really hope there aren't any undead. I really don't like mindless undead..." Annienal looked around behind them, making sure nothing was coming up on them, almost instinctively.

Terrorwin, if you're interested in joining the game, please read the FAQ. You've disrupted a quest and basically disrupted the flow of the narrative. Make a character up and post in the hall. I'm talking to KingofZempk so he can speak to Sandy, the Heroica Master, about this, but it's always wise to read around a little bit and ask questions if you don't know what you're doing.

Karie does not respond to Lawrence, nor did she really acknowledge him. She'd had enough of his presence and cryptic words. There was enough on her mind and more to worry about.

"I, um, hope you don't mind me saying this, but has he always been like this? How do you deal with these kind of advancements?" Annienal was hoping to find something to deal with a certain someone, but thought afterwards maybe she was pushing her luck.

We interrupt whatever it is you're doing for some news! I've uploaded a page on the wiki for the Order Imperial, including a basic rundown of the Order, their beliefs, and the ranking system. Link here!

I don't think Fleshy vs. Yellow is really an issue, is it? Does GoH have a standard?
