"And just what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Karie still held onto her dagger, cover head to toe in black ink. Her makeup was either running or splotched in black, as tears flowed from her eyes. Her eyes weren't sorrowful though. They were filled with anger, hatred. "Don't think your going to get out of this with your passive aggressive nonsense! Stop being a coward and give it to me straight instead of cowering behind your petty words!"

Karie interrupts both of them and stabs the Oculoid in the gut with her Heirloom Dagger. She stabs it in the gut again. And again. And again. She cared not for whatever would get over her. She just wanted this thing to shut up and leave her. She wanted this mockery dead, and she'd keep striking it until it was. "I! HAVE HAD ENOUGH! OF YOUR GAMES!" Tears swelled in her eyes as she jabbed away at the thing that was posing as her husband. At what she hoped he still looked like.

Karie grips Sexy's hilt tightly. She shook her head and grimly laughed for a brief moment. She walked away from everything. She let go of Sexy's hilt, and walks to the door, staring at it. "Someone besides L-lawrence. Someone besides that fat, graceless oaf do it."

The elf awkwardly shrinks back in her chair despite her height. "Um... hi."

With the exception of Shields, which are only usable by knights, yes, and since your not at level 10 yet, you can only equip one artefact. Remember, if it's a constant effect, it's always an artefact, even ones that just give you SP bonuses.

Both items are still considered as artefacts, since they still give you a bonus to your stats that is consistent. It doesn't need to have a "magical effect" to be considered an artefact; if it gives of a constant effect, it's an artefact. Consumable's are one use items, once you use them, there gone. Does that make sense?

Generally the item will say "Artefact" in it's description. Some artefacts are simple stat modifiers or provide immunities to certain effects, while others have more complex purposes. The Catsuit per example makes the wearer have a 1/3 chance to avoid free hits, damage, and countering, while the Ethereal Cloak simple adds 2 more points of SP and 4 more points of Maximum Ether. If the item has no description, ask your QM. It may just be a mistake on their part.

Annienal, finished writing, looks around the hall, looking to avoid trouble. "Um, miss barkeep? Is it possible I could have a drink? Of water, please? Oh, and um, maybe some pumpernickel bread? And some dip, too, if that's... not too much to ask..." Annienal takes her food and begins to sip away at her glass of water before polishing her new sword. It deserved a name, but none were coming to her.

Paladin's a cool class and all, but I doubt Annie's going to be taking it. I kind of want to go either Warden or Black Knight, but I'm not entirely sure yet since unlike Karie where I knew I wanted her to go Minstrel, Annie's a bit more open to influence. That being said, which of our knight based advanced classes has the most heroes in it? I'd assume Paladin or Black Knight, but I could be wrong.

"Don't say that kind of stuff! We know that Doppel's can read personalities and physical traits, but not minds. Only Oculoids can do that. So... if... M-masson's been... mind read... then technically both individuals here could be fakes." Karie began feeling disheartened about the prospects of seeing Masson again. Why couldn't it of been Lawrence, that good for nothing hypocrite?

QM Note: Consuming the dragon scale will take one turn. Entering the hallway and then the Trophy room will be another two. Unless you were hastened, you'd be taking three turns to do this. You sure this is what you want to do?

I really should flaunt that spell around a bit more, seeing as how the only time I've ever used it was on a Grim Reaper.

"Em, Johon, will you both stand down!" Karie yelled desperately. "Gods be damned, allow me to explain some things! Em, Mortimer, I don't care at the moment, you're going to lose not only your eye but your arm if you decide to use that damn thing. There's an answer to this, but we've got to consider our options here. Johon... the Harvester originally was used by Masson. His nephew shared the same blood as him, so..." Karie cuts herself short, not wanting to go into detail, "Honestly, their both tripping me out. Both of them are acting like the man I know, but on completely different levels. We can run the possibility of two fakes, but... Both of you. I want you to describe the past twenty four hours. Now." A flame of intensity lit up in Karie's eyes, tears trying not to swell.

Karie snatches both magnifying glasses and uses them on the two, determined to find the real Masson. "I'm not screwing this up... I'm not screwing this up..."

Karie was ecstatic at the possibility that her husband was alright and potentially in front of her. She had the temptation to run into either of their arms and hug them... but something was bothering her. Something she knew felt off. "Masson... last I saw you, you were wearing your hood... to both of you... where is it?"

"I'm getting the feeling nothing around here is done in the traditional sense." Karie replies. "I don't think we should stay in one room for too long. We should move to the east room soon." "Masson's not one of them, if that's what your insinuated. And even if... and even if something happens, he's not one of them. He's not." Karie repeats, sounding worried.

But she was better known as Melon Lord.

"I don't see the need for them to have relationships, seeing how they're produced on a production line." Karie crosses her arms, "Don't ask how I know that, it's a long story." "If we're assuming Iris is in fact Seerus's wife, than why would we even bother? It's an Oculoid, and every Oculoid I've met has been nothing but manipulative and malicious, ignorant and insolent, as if they were some "Master Race". We kill her, and her husband. We're here to kill the damn Oculoids. Kill them and ensure that no one else has to suffer from their own hypocrisy." Karie bluntly replies to Erdathcath.

"Some diary. Apparently Seerus has a wife. And he's abusive towards her." Karie pockets the book. "Perhaps the astrological signs correspond to something? We haven't really tried opening the door in the main hall."

Karie carefully yanks the journal out from the shelf and opens it. "Even though I have a feeling this book's the Regret's, I really don't want it too."

Sorry for the lack of an update. I honestly have no good excuse as to why I haven't. I'll have one tomorrow. I'm really sorry for this guys, it hurts me just as much as it hurts you to not see this getting updated.

Karie looks confused as the Oculoid vanishes. "I thought we were hunting Seeurs? Who's this Iris?" She looks to the rest of the party for an answer. In the meantime, she inspects the books on the shelves.

Karie puts a hand on Em's potion. "You're going to need that." She then heals Alice instead, her stomach feeling off from the bits of blood. She notices Em's lack of confidence. "Let me take a look at your eye once I'm done, Em. The last thing you want is an infection."

"Good enough for me." Karie gives Alice a remedy and looks her wounds over. "Do you know where Seerus went? Have you seen him since... well, you fled? I've got my own score to settle with this chump, and my friend with the eyepatch does too."
