"Eh, let it come. Since the house in on fire let us warm ourselves. At least, that's what Maxwell used to say when shit happens." She pats her grandfather on the back and returns to her table in the corner of the saloon, snatching a bottle of wine and a glass and begins to peer through the paper. "Butcher of Eubric Strikes Again! Typical drivel..."

She'd send you an Ether Core, in that case.

Karie wraps up the sausage for later and looks the medal over, before quickly wrapping it up in paper. She had conflicting emotions about Ulric's letter, but she could think about them later. There were a few more people she wished to write to. "Dear Bilbert Wigglepike, I'm a huge fan of your work, and as a former actress, your work has always been an inspiration to me! From one actor to another, can you give me some tips on how to be more convincing on stage? Maybe even some vocal tips for singing? I'm certain you get lots of mail from fans, perhaps gifts too, but I thought you might like something to drink for over the holidays. Included is a bottle of Mead and a bottle of Nostrum. There have been nights where I've wanted to unwind with a bottle of liquor after a show, and I think the feelings would be mutual. Break a leg, and have a Happy Holidays! Karie Alderflask"

Ulric's is quite possibly the best letter of the lot, next to the one given to Thothwick. Baba giving Thothwick the hat: now that's evil!

OOC: This fights tough enough. I'll let reinforced last for three rounds, just to give you guys a chance. As well, anyone seen Tanma? I'll assume he attacks Pinkamena from the back row, just to move this along. Round Six of the Wolfgang Beatdown Battle Order Hybros vs. Changeling- Hit (8+29=37 damage-8=29 damage. Changeling is Blind!) Hybros vs. Changeling- Aim (42x2=84 damage-8=76 damage) Ellaria- Mead Ellaria vs. Lupine- Damage Shield (Boomingham revived! 12+25=37 Health regained!) >De'kra vs. Pinkamena- Hit (29-20=9 damage) Boomingham vs. Pinkamena- Hit (48x2=96-20=76 damage) Changeling D4: Hybros (Immune to Blind! Blindness removed!) Hybros manages to blind the changeling and deal some massive damage, while Ellaria brings back Boomingham. De'kra deals some damage to Pinkamena, while Lawrence continues his dance. The Changeling, feeling the heat, changes back to Hybros, removing the blinded effect delivered by the real imp. The battle continues! "Back in business!" Lupine the Third Level 58 Humanoid Beast *Immune To Darkness Elemental, Stun, Sealed, Minimized, Jinxed and Instakill* *Reinforced for 2 more rounds!* HP: 1257/1400 SP: 10 20 Special 1: Calling Card- Lupine deals his signature move, removing all immunities from the target for three rounds, and dealing 58 damage, regardless of row.

Alright, status update for 91. I'm visiting relatives who have power and internet access, but the hydro company's released a statement saying the area I'm usually in might not have power until after the 25, which sucks. I'll update you guys now, but if worse comes to worse, I may need someone to run rounds. I'm really sorry for how rocky this quest has been, but for once, this is out of my control.

Dear Purpearl, Hey, good to hear from you! Glad to see your still in one piece! How's that gemstone of yours working out? Thanks for the pretzel, although I do hope it's not made with creme or dairy: I'm allergic to that stuff. Anyways, I thought you could use some help wherever your at, so I'm throwing a Grand Tonic your way. I got enough of these things in my bag to wash away my sorrows, so have one. If you're ever up for a round with me and my other crew, stop by the Albatross, I'm usually there on weekends, unless I'm at the hall or out on some quest. Just say Karie sent you and they'll show you around. If not, come get me, I'll give them a talking to. Happy Holidays! -Karie Alderflask Grand Tonic- Restores 15 Ether

"Good to hear. Maybe I should head back one of these days? I left without saying farewell to the few friends I had." Karie got up to look over the quest board, glancing over the crypt letter and rolling her eyes. "Kids..." She then noticed the notice about the disappearing academy. "Kids? Oh, this can't be good." Karie signs up for Quest 93.

IMPORTANT: I'm currently in the middle of a black out, and I have no idea when the power will be back on, so the quest will be on hold for a bit. I apologize in advanced. Sorry guys.

So far Sandy's written for three of my characters, while I've written for one. The three characters Sandy wrote for all gave out items, though.

"Oh, no, everything's fine. It's just... I just realized it's been almost a year. A year since I left Charis and got wound up in all this. If anything I'm just... thinking of what I've done." Karie looks about, and returns to her letter writing.

As Karie sent the letter off, she pondered about what she was doing. It hadn't left her. Maxwell confirmed she was adopted, but she needed more answers. "Ulric Wolfkin, I send this letter not out of a desire to assist your organization, but out of a desire to get answers. Violetta. Did she leave anything? A personal diary, old pictures, anything? I only recently learned after her death that I am her younger sister, and that we were separated at a young age. It's hard to prove in letter form, I know, but I am. If I have to, I'll meet you to prove it. All I want are answers, and a diary or anything would help me. To give a little incentive, I'll pass this Lover's Locket your way. Do with it what you will, but don't take it as a sign of a blossoming relationship. If you'd do this for me, I might gain some respect for you, as everyone I can think of writes you off as some monster. I'd appreciate it, at least. Karie Alderflask-Rayltyn" She felt awkward writing to the man who had apparently made her sister a bed cozy, but she had to try.

Karie sits down in the hall, a few pieces of paper lying about, her items lying about. She sorts through some of them, thinking of who to give them to. "Dear Olivia Scelin, How are things are well with you and your father, as well as your uncle? It seems as if we've been crammed together a lot, but haven't learned anything about you really. I also want to know how your training going? If Masson's going to hard on you, let me know. I could probably do something about it! I don't want to see you getting hurt out there, so I'm sending you a potion, a remedy, and a smoke bomb. Be careful with the smoke bomb! The last thing I want is a letter from your father berating me for sending you this stuff. Finally, I wanted to wish you a happy holidays! Hopefully I'll see you in the New Year. Have a Happy Holidays, Karie Alderflask" Karie sends of the Z-Mail, stuffed to the brim with various practical goods.

Much to Heckz surprise, he receives a letter back from the harlot. "Dear Heckz, Someone sounds jealous. Seems as if though, Mr. Brutenhal, you either miss me or you feel as if my ability to turn you on makes you feel somewhat disappointed in yourself. Either way, I find it amusing. And there's no need to go off about jail. Not like you can get in here. PS: Good to know Heroica still likes to steal clothing off of unconscious people. PSS: That's fine, I got a nicer outfit anyways. Not like you can have it. Merry Grogmas, Harley" The letter has a lipstick kiss smeared on the bottom of the paper. Heckz finds nothing else in the envelope.

I've always loved Trailer Park Boys. Beneath all that stupidity, there's both an intelligent script, and a lot of heart.

"Eh, I'm not complaining. It's either be bored in here or get shot at, stabbed at, cursed, poisoned, petrified, and turned into a newt out there. I think we're indulging in the lesser of two evils." She sprouts a cocky grin. However it soon withers. Karie stays quiet during Sorrow's talk of Grogmas. She had memories of the holidays. Particularly with Cliff. Karie swishes about her wine. "That's no reason to get upset. If you'd like, I'll put aside some of my Syndicate paycheque to a cake or something and we can hold a little party. I got nothing in mind for gifts, but hey, you'll be in good company at least!" She smiles, but there's a lingering sorrow behind it, as if something was bugging her.

Round Six of the Wolfgang Beatdown Battle Order Hybros vs. Red Menace- Aim (48x2-2=94 damage. Assassination!) >Hybros vs. Changeling- Special Damage (All enemies are reinforced) >Ellaria vs. Lupine- Crit. Special Damage >Ellaria vs. Pinkamena Special Damage Aim (8-20= 0 Damage) De'kra Changeling D4: De'kra Ellaria takes charge of the team, as Hybros takes his feared blade and slices it across Red Menace's neck, his blood empowering Hybros sword. However, fate turns it's back on the party as the Changeling, guised as Lawrence, manages to bring down a holy aura, reinforcing it's allies. Ellaria manages to deal some damage to Lupine, but Pinkamena barely gets a scratch. De'kra attempts to chug a Grand Potion, but can't due to the encumbering weight of the Vibrator- I mean Vibrataphone! The battle continues. "Who shot that? Did they intend to hurt me?"

Alright, I'll roll up the round shortly. Sorry for the delay, I've been out Christmas Shopping for the past few days.

OOC: Sorry if I'm wrong, but didn't Hybros throw the Clockwork Cog? Shouldn't he have to retrieve it?

"Well then, prepare yourself. Things are about to get weird. I was with a party, my second quest out and about in Brendenton. I just so happened to be Party Leader, and we were tasked with finding the source of a leak of information involving some monopoly in Brendenton's cloth industry, as well as stopping the news from getting out. So, the city was in full riot mode, due to the information being passed, and we were moving to the docks to catch a treacherous woman named Fleur. No need to worry about her, she's in the company of Davy Jones! Anyways, she had bought all the cloth for dirt cheap, and was the cause for the leak getting out, so we raced to the docks, and came across this man on our way, some sorcerer or what not with the ability to turn people into newts. Well, guess who gets hit." She points to herself, looking embarrassed and slightly amused. "Worse off, my clothes didn't come with me. In one heap lay my clothes in the street. Anyways, we beat the idiot up, and as he hits the ground, I begin to turn back: without my clothes on! So I duck into an alley, and low and behold, floating in the breeze is this." She holds up the Scroll of Newtity. "Still don't think it was worth being turned into a newt to get though." She crosses her arms, feeling slightly ashamed of herself. "Yeah, got beaten up. Again." She removes the wet cloth from her head, leaving a bare patch of pasty skin visible, not that Karie notices. "Nope, nothing as of yet. Though I expect we'll be here in the hall for it. Not that it really matters. I sort of like this laid back feeling. I've been rushed about so much lately it's nice to sit back." She smiles back to the group, pulling a bottle of Falana Wine and pouring herself a glass, taking in the welcomingly familiar taste.

OOC: Fixed.

Karie returns to the hall, feeling as if she was hit by a cart. She'd only been knocked out once on a quest, but even then it wasn't even anything serious: her emergency essence brought right back up. She felt sore, and her head felt dizzy. "You know, I really hate getting knocked out." She sits down with a wet cloth and places it on her head. She turns to Arthur, grinning. "So, you curious about the whole newt transformation scroll? If your willing to listen I'll tell you about my less than spectacular adventure about it."

Karie takes Arthur's hand as she rubs her head with her right hand, her tattoo slightly showing. "It's a long story, one I'll tell you back at the hall. At least you didn't lose all your clothes." Karie hobbled back to the hall, slightly sore from the battle.
