Kintobor

Well, if people are still hungry, I got those snacks still here... somewhere... I'd like to hear what others have to say before casting my vote.

It's just a continuation of the battle with Lupine getting some added buffs. The only way your losing your buffs is if you get knocked out or Aggressive Frenzy is rolled.

"I-" Karie stops herself. This was no moment to panic. She felt defiled, as she expected to, but she felt just generally beaten upon. Why was it always her? Why was she always the one getting hexed? How no matter ho hard she tried, even when trying to help someone by giving them an item to protect them, she couldn't do anything about it. Karie heals the Tree thing with a Grand Potion unless Roots of Life are rolled, otherwise she heals the party member with the lowest health using her heal ability.

Okay, I can tell some of you are antsy to move this along, so I want some input. Would you guys be fine if I autorolled the following rounds until Lupine hits Kintobor Syndrome?

Oh my, all this talk of joking and fisting is making me nervous. I really would prefer not to get caught up with this crowd... Anyone else want any of these Rice Crispy Squares or cupcakes, seeing as how I'm apparently the only one who brought food?

"Ugh... my head... someone want to let me know what the hell happened?" Karie revives Jeaux from the back row.

Alright, now these look a little better! The figures look really cool, I'm especially liking how they took the old torso designs and modernized them, very cool! The Blue Coat female may just be the best figure of the wave. And the bicorne hat in the fort set looks like a nice piece. I may just it pick it up if it's not overly expensive! And as I said before, Soldier's Outpost looks like a really solid set! I'm a bit more looking forward to the wave now!

Am I the only one who came to this party and actually brought food stuffs? Rice Crispies Squares anyone? Or perhaps these cupcakes might whet your fancy?

Why do I feel M.A. Larson had something to do with this? Adding wings to all the characters? All in all, the sets look really dang good, particularly the army builder. Those are buy at launch for me. All in all, good stuff! I may wind up picking a few of these up!

"So be it." He states coldly, pushing the party back. Pulling a cane from his robes, he points it at the party, ready for battle.

I should've realized it was going to be one of those parties. I hope everyone here's an adult, otherwise some of you are in for a scolding!

"Oh, I hope this doesn't get too violent, what with all those mafia movies I keep seeing commercials for."

It'll be up later today. I've got other things that need to get done first, but the battle will get posted.

Quick question: will the role of the lynched player be revealed at the end of the day, or the beginning of the next day? I know Euroubricks has done it both times in the past, and perhaps knowing now when the role will be given would help.

What's the Overcoat artefact in question?

I'm not familiar with the work, unfortunately, but the I do adore the Telltale Heart, and my quest in the anthology is somewhat inspired by it in terms of atmosphere and tone, along with the cult classic video game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask".

Karie's body twitches abnormally as her pupils dilute to a dark violet, her whites becoming bloodshot and dull as she becomes a mouthpiece again, the all too familiar darkness enveloping her vision. Her Oculoid Palm roils and contorts itself in off ways as she dully stares at the party. She had no mouth, yet she had to scream. "It's been awhile since this happened. What did she say again? Don't listen to anything I say? I don't think I remember being able to pry through memories this quickly before... anyone like to know anything about me? My dirty little secrets? About Cliff or Kayla? About the traitorous little thing I am? Or perhaps I should just undermine my marriage nuptials? Anyway you look at it, it's a lot more fun being over here than with you losers." Hooray for Karie being a mouth piece... again.

This game's out to get me.

QM Note: Instead of explaining your decisions, just roll with it. No need to explain things to me. "You lack intelligence. A true thief knows when to run, knows when has been bested. I could walk away from this, but I am making you an offer that can benefit both of us. Honour? What honour? There may have been honour among thieves at one point, but that has since changed. The men here would've gotten there share and most likely left me, probably even tried to kill me had they been given the choice. You truly have little experience outside of your forest. The men I had did not follow me because they wanted to. They followed me because they knew what would happen if they stayed in Eubric. If you truly wish to call yourself the Gray Foxer, know that you are just that, a fox. I am the wolf, the hunter of foxes, and even in death, you will lead yourself down a path of mutually assured destruction, for that is the path us thieves must take." "But how long will Heroica need you? Even before Ulric brought his name to Eubric my name was synonymous with professional burglary. What will you be remembered for outside of Heroica?" "Now your simply jumping to conclusions. Did I ever say I intended to expand my men? Did I ever state that my intention was to recreate the Wolfgang? The Wolfgang is none of my concern. Just like you, I work for the coin." QM Note: I'll have reactions to the two battle initiates up once everyone else posts, or takes a stance.

"Masson, I'm not going to be mad with you if you take of the ring to save us just this once! I know how much it means to you, since my ring means a lot to me as well, but I don't want to see you under this things spell. You've been through enough already, do for me, just this once. You can put the ring back on after this fight. I promise." Baaffy charges at the Hex Tentacle.

"I'm no longer immune, since I gave it to Masson, but if anyone wants it, grab it and put it on! We're going to get screwed otherwise. That being said, is there any one target we don't want to deal with this round? I'll put them to sleep, pronto!"

Alfendi looks Arthur over with scrutiny. He moves closer to him, examining him, sniffing him from where he stands; finally stroking the hairs around his muzzle. "Unlike the men you claim drew their blades, I have no allegiance to anyone but myself and the men I took into my little crew." He ponders for a moment before speaking. "Very well. I'll make you an offer." He points to Lind. "I want the sack of jewelry strapped to his back, and 750 gold worth of coins or items. You get to keep the wine, and I leave this manor a little bit richer. I believe the kids call it a win win scenario? To sweeten the deal, I'll even throw in something that I'm certain old Ulfric would enjoy getting returned to him. So, are we in agreement, or is this going to be a similar scenario to what happened to Donny and Violetta, er... I don't believe I caught your name, skirmisher?"

You might as well just give the Hexed effect to Karie now, since she's destined to be hexed every. Single. Time.

"You know what, here." Karie removes her Paper Doll and gives it to Masson to equip, replacing it with the Witch's Talisman. "I don't care what they did to you, but it won't happen again. I'm not letting these fiends take control of you, and whatever I say or have said while under their thrall isn't real. They're going to use me to undermine you, and they'd do the same to me if they got a hold of you. Don't listen to me if I get enthralled... please." "Can't you do anything besides tango? Why not box step, or the Charleston, or perhaps the foxtrot?" Karie smiles wryly.

Lupine's ear twitch as he examines the party. "Besides do their job to their best extent? It seems so." Lupine stays where he is, crossing his arms as he does so. "Such force, such passion. You remind me of myself when I was but a pup. Let me humour you with a question: what will you do when Heroica has no use for you? Ulfirc Wolfkin brought the criminal underworld to its knees in one fell swoop. I joined with the pretence that once Ulfric was king, I'd get my share and we'd leave our separate ways, but Ulfirc was a clever deceiver. People like Violetta and Donny, god rest their souls, were not part of Ulfric's grand scheme; just a stepping stone to his so called higher calling. There was no room for the thieves and petty crooks who in the end helped the Wolf Headed Messiah get to where he is. I did not join his cause to simply find some other revenue of work when all was said and done, I am the Alfendi Lupine. Ever since I was young I had to steal to survive, it's in my blood, and it was Donny and Violetta's too. I would not be cast aside when Ulfirc had found new toys to play with, I have been a survivor my life through, and I am here to do what I do best: steal, and if the Shadeux have money to spare in excess wine lying about, why not knock them down a peg? Unless you've got something of value than these bottles of wine, I'm asking you, as a professional, to stand aside." "You take me for a coward, when in earnest I am simply a man of opportunity, like yourself. An opportunity for profit arises, you and I both grasp it. Per example, the items you carry of my dead men." Alfendi smiles, a look of curiosity adorning his face. "You impress me. Out of the lot of you, boasting your prideful propositions, you, the weakest link, make the most sense. I have heard of your clan, in fact I took it upon myself to replicate some of the techniques your people use, however in a more elegant manner. No. No you may not. There will only ever be one Alfendi Lupine, and the world will remember me for it... even when my idiot grandson is pissing the name away..."
