Kintobor

Karie takes the opportunity to down a mead and smelling salts. "Oh wow, I think my minds going in so many places and it's all nothing relevant to what we're doing and I just want to bounce of the walls of this place and... I really need to calm down and just let this high these smelling salts give me just settle down..." She sits on one of the desks. Looking the students over. Teenagers were such fickle beings. "Sorrow... there's a greenhouse next door..." She looks at his hand, grimacing. "Do you think we'd find that Sunset Shimmer herb you're looking for in there?"

Here we go again... Equestria Girls 2: Confirmed!

Battle Order: >Althior- Light on Commander A- Crit. (12x5+36=96x2=192 damage. No cursing) McCreary vs. Spearman B- Crit. (6x2+20+9=41 damage) Avalanche (phoenix Essence on Eric.

Skirmisher B summoned! Skirmisher C summoned! The party miraculously pulls it together, as Althior blasts a powerful beam of light at one of the Commanders. McCreary slashes away at one of the dead, his pain seeming to fuel his anger, and his strength. Avalanche rushes to Eric, uncorking his only Phoenix Essence and pour the warm liquid down his throat. The raider quickly gets up and out of the snow, and goes on an all out frenzy, hacking away at the undead. Violet pounds her shovel into the ground once again, sending the lesser undead back to the depths of the earth. Throlar, despite the pain, pulls through and manages to skewer one of the undead with his sabre. Althior's mob swoops in on the undead knights and paladins, while more undead crawl out of the crypt...

SHHHH!!! You're giving Endgame ideas!

It depends on the villain, honestly. The Grim Grinning Ghosts were meant to be somewhat comedic, so they're reappearance in 78 was meant to be rather humorous. The Shadow Sisters I intended to be somewhat mysterious, so you want to know more about them the more you see them (that and Irene's adorable ). And then they're's another character who I'm introducing shortly who is a villain and is fought twice. The first time you get a glimpse of the plan. The second time...

"But the Chirl and the Fonzie won't get in while Noel is around. We're stuck until we get Amanda."

"We should split the party half way if we need to. Noel and two others lead the students to the crate, and three other students stay here and ensure that... Siobhan? We need to ensure her safety."

"Then who's staying here to look after the kid? Shouldn't we at least have someone stay here to make sure Soibhan is safe? Ewald's fine with going with you. Speaking of Ewald, who are these rogues? Are they someone we should be concerned about?"

QM Note: I'll let you guys figure this out, since Althior's undead no longer soak up free hits, due to the recent rule change.

Well, this can't end well.

It was certainly an interesting mechanic, and props for originality. I'd debate on the agility of all rogues though. That's what makes rogues such an appealing class, because it encompasses so many character types. Charming, loveable con artists, acrobatic pickpockets (like Karie), and just straight up thugs. I think I would have made it a bit more versatile for different classes, but what I saw was an excellent first run through of a rather interesting mechanic. I thought it was neat!

At least she didn't get a tree crushed on her. Blasted Oculoids, won't they learn that nothing can stop the power of the Hero's Cocktail Heroicans?

I just don't see the logic in penalizing lower players in this fashion if Scuba's suggestion was used. (which I know it won't, but who doesn't love a good debate! ) Lower level players would still be low priority. If you have a level 18 berserker and a level 3 mage knocked out at the end of a fight, and could only revive one, who would you, as a player, revive? Mistakes happen. A character gets knocked out just before the party defeats the enemy. Well, looks like he's got a broken arm, tough luck. I wish we'd see more level neutral quests. As much as I hate to toot my own horn, Four's Company was rather level neutral. It had one battle, and the rest of experience was the reward. As much as I gripe about The Marketplace Mystery, it was level neutral. I honestly just can't get behind an idea that penalizes players for a roll of the die, particularly newer players.

If we're trying to close the gap between low and high level players, then why would this help close the gap? Imagine a party of level ones. They're new, inexperienced, and are going to screw up. One of the members gets knocked out, and being level ones, have no way to revive him. The hero is then jinxed until the quest ends. Permanently. How is the rest of the party supposed to function with a jinxed hero? You might as well call it there, since there's no way they're going to be able to go on with a jinxed hero. It may work for higher levels, and I'm really stretching the may, but I really disagree with this idea.

QM Note: Can I get a move if you do get revived?

OOC: Sandy, I should have another Love Potion. As well, Doppelganger is WP: 10, Longsword. As well, Karie took a mead, smelling salts, and nostrum off of Sorrow.

Karie crosses her arms. "Whatever. If you guys want to leave someone's loved one down there, be my guest. Not like the young girl has a say in the matter anymore."

All will be explained, young monk. Although, you can probably infer a lot of things if you look at some of his items.

Fixed.

"Keep your voice down! Do you intend to scare these kids! I'm not saying we put him in with the kids, I'm saying we put him in separately, and send it afterwards! I'd like to think that after someone passes away, we'd like to see them off! But if you insist on leaving him there, then by all means when you wind up dead, I'll ensure to just leave you for the flies! So they can rumple all over your pretty little face!" Karie still hushed her voice, but her tone was growing louder, clearly angry with Heckz.

Battle order Eric vs. Zombie Paladin Commander A- Shield (22x2+22=66-2=64 for everything but Commander A and B. Commander A and B= 62 damage) Eric vs. Zombe Paladin Commander A- Special Damage (Stunned!) >Avalanche vs. Zombie Paladin Axeman B- Miss >Althior- Light on Paladin Knight B- Raise the Dead ( Violet vs. Spearman B- Damage (18-2=16 damage) Throlar vs. Zombie Paladin Knight A- Special Damage (Throlar Bleeding and Poisoned -1!) Spearman C and Zombie Paladin Commander B on Eric= 18+45/2=9 damage. KO!) Throlar: -6 damage The tides turn against the party as despite Eric dealing all around damage to all enemies, he quickly finds himself flailing his sword at too many opponents! They quickly overrun him and pin him to the ground, knocking him out. Avalanche takes his trusty club, aiming straight for the head of his target, but manages to miss it entirely! Althior, using his necromancer abilities, calls back the undead Violet sent away. With five trusty allies on his side, he quickly moves them around him in preparation of the oncoming onslaught. Violet manages to get stabbed by her target, not even seeming to flinch, while Throlar gets ambushed by his target, who takes a bite into his skin. The wound bleeds and burns with pain as Throlar moves back. The situation becomes grim, but from inside the tomb, the party can hear somewhat of ruckus going on, a figure pushing the undead aside, raising it's blade up and slicing at some of the opponents coming towards them. Bloody and bruised, Father McCreary emerges from the tomb, sword in hand. "It's going to take more than that to kill me, you tainted filth! I am the pastor of this church, and you will return to your resting places!!" McCreary drives his sword through the skull of one of the oncoming undead. He makes his way through the crowd and to the party, sword in hand. "Four years since I drew this sword. Let's see if I still got it, shall we heroes?" Father McCreary joins the party!

Karie leans into Heckz and Thailon, speaking in a hushed voice, looking cross. "We still have a body to contend to. If you want to get these kids out of that room, fine, but we're not leaving that kid to just sit in the entrance hall! I refuse to let it happen!"
