I too concur! I really like this class! This seems like a class Karie would take if she goes is a little nutty (which at this rate is totally in the realm of possibility! ) I like how versatile the class is. It can be offensive, defence, or healing, or a combination of. Also, if a puppet's health reaches zero, what happens to it? Perhaps the requirements should be "Has completed certain Bilbert Wigglepike quests"?

"Oh, sorry Arthur, my bad. I've just... it's a long, touchy story." Karie backed off from Arthur and drew Sexy. She still didn't feel any better closer or farther away from the Private, but she would just have to deal with it and get these thugs out of the way. "I'm with whatever you guys are doing. I've got Sexy with me, so let me at either the silver or black peon."

"No, I have no clue who the Stealer of Senses is! I was never involved with his nephew or anything of the matter! I didn't even know he had a nephew! Please don't kill me, or my cohorts! We know nothing about the Stealer!" Karie was obviously lying through her teeth, as her words sounded forced and melancholy. The Stealer was the last person she wanted to meet again, particularly after his promise had the two crossed paths again. She leaned into Arthur. "You're some poignant Town Watch guy, do something official like!" She turned her attention to the two men in the alley. "So um... I was here because I heard the Wolfgang were down here. I'm here to return this shmexy awesome catsuit. You know where I could find them?" There was a tinge of fear in her voice. She found it hard to stand still without shaking. She could feel the Apprentice's cold fingers wrap around her like a boa constrictor, squeezing her of her air. She found it hard to breathe.

"Hold on. We're walking into a battle, and you guys are just going head first? Typical, bloody typical. Hope you guys brought gator repellent, because for one don't intend to be reptile food. God, sometimes I wonder why I follow you guys..." Karie follows the rest of party, feeling anxious. Partially because of the gator, but more due to him. He could be down here. And she didn't want to run into him after leaving a boot print in... Karie slinks to the back of the party after hearing the two men's remark.

Karie takes out her dagger and begins to flip it in the air. "So did you join the watch first, or Heroica, Private? I'm not sure why a Town Watch member would want to join Heroica, or vice-versa."

ROUND 1 OF THE WOLFGANG BRAWL! Alexandre's Dapper Hat: Unsuccessful >Alexandre vs. Assassin: Special Dodge (Unsuccessful) (32/2-14=2 Damage. 5 gold stolen) >Elgar vs. Sharpshooter: Aim (11 Damage. Deadly Venom) Torchbearer- Free Hit Alexandre: (30/2-14=1 Damage) Sharpshooter- 10 damage Johon joins combat With Johon absent, Alexandre and Elgar prepare to ward off the Wolfgang thugs. Alexandre swipes at the Assassin with his Elvish blade, only to have him strike his arm and rob him of his money! The Assassin is less than thrilled to have 5 gold coins in his hands than the usual amount he's capable of. Elgar fires his crossbow at the sharpshooter, nicking her in the arm and poisoning her. The Torchbearer jabs at Alexandre, dealing minimal damage. Johon rushes in, ready for the fight! "This is getting us nowhere! Get rid of these thugs!" "Die, scum!" Wolfgang Torchbearer Level 30 Human SP: 2 Health:310/310 Special: Burning Passion- The Torchbearer lights the hero on fire, dealing 15 fire damage each round until remedied, or if the hero jumps into the sewer water.

Karie walked into the room, the air stagnant and musty. "That panel does something... but what?" Karie checks to see where the wires attached to the control panel lead.

Karie downs a mead. "There's a humming noise... kind of like machinery... we may be up against something in there guys. Arnulf, if you wish to open the door, be my guest."

"This isn't spooky at all. Well, there seems to be only one place we haven't checked out, that door. Once again, brain blast. Hold still, allow me to demonstrate the "bardic knock" spell. Observe." Karie knocks on the door by the portcullis.

"Agreed. I don't like this alley either. Here, everyone hold still, I'm going to check something out." Karie walks up to the portcullis and looks to see what's beyond it.

Karie grins back. She makes a mental note of the phrase "Hell's nipples." Who knows, maybe it'll come in handy one day. She'd never met a paladin before, and she wasn't sure how to react to Boomingham's little friend, but he seemed trustworhy enough. She still felt uneasy about the Private, who kept giving her looks. "What's wrong Private? Cat got your tongue? Pun totally intended, by the way!" She chuckled to herself.

We're going in the exact opposite direction of the Hovels!" "Guys, will you shut up! The last thing that needs to happen to us is we get caught by the Town Watch or-" "Abbot! Well, well, well! Look who's out and about this afternoon with! And you brought body guards too! Come down to visit your friends, rat!" Abbot begins to shake violently again, stuttering over most of his words. "W-w-well if you must k-k-know I'm o-o-" "We don't care why you're down here, you old fart, all we care about is-" "I'll have y-you know I'm not an old fart! I'm 32!" "Enough of this!" The torch bearing Wolfgang thug brandishes his short sword and grins, the flames from his torch giving him a devilish appearance. "Ulric will reward us handsomely for your hide, Watt!"

(4 studs) As he makes it to a right turn, he can hear the party engaging in battle. Will he turn right, or head back to his fellow quest mates?

No... it couldn't be him... "You kids better run on home shortly. Something's going to happen down this alley, and I don't think you want to be here when it happens."

"Bread? Can you give us a description of this man?" She wished she had something to give the kids, but she didn't. They'd been rather helpful thus far.

It's like TF2 all over again!

"You kids shouldn't hang around here, there's supposedly dangerous thugs lurking about here. My recommendation is to go play somewhere else. Actually, have you kids seen anything suspicious around here, like humans, or heck, a gator?"

"Your Proggs? And you grow seven stories tall?" Karie nervously looks back at the party, mouthing "seven stories tall". You learn something new everyday. "So... you... larvae... what are you guys doing around here? Around this spooky, derelict, alley?"

OOC: Bricksandpants, are you going alone then? I just want to make sure before I figure out what happens next.

Karie gives a dry, sarcastic laugh as she leaves the office with Boomingham. "Hardy har har. You're too kind Boomingham. Too kind. To be quite frank, yes, I might actually be the world's greatest performer, but I'm more like the World's Greatest Pickpocket." She leans towards Boomingham. "Since, you know, being the World's Greatest Performer is a lot more acceptable in the headquarters of the town watch than it is being the World's Greatest Performer." The party makes it to the alley. Karie leans against the wall and sighs. "Yeah, this catsuits a little un-comfy. How this Violetta was able to work in this is beyond me." She then notices the little worm like creatures scurrying about the alley in play. And then they talked. "Okay, I'm not the only one seeing this, right? We didn't inhale some hallucinogenic vapors, did we?" Part of her thought they were somewhat cute, scurrying about the alley. The other part of her thought about the rows of teeth they could possess, specifically used for devouring catsuit wearing rogues. Keeping her distance, she spoke up. "So... you.... five are what now?"

"You've said your men have gone missing down this alley? How many are we talking about? Five, ten, twenty?" Just so I know if now would be a good time to flee.

Oh great, a ladies man. "Quite the accomplishments there, m'lord. Karie Alderflask, World's greatest pi-" She remembered she was standing in front of Lilith. In front of the Town Watch HQ. "Performer. Yeah, we'll go with that... We're waiting for the Private to speak up. Where is he anyways? He was leading us here."

*Karie reminds Heckz she is the World's greatest pickpocket, showing him the real catsuit, and telling him the other was a mascot cat suit. She then clocks him in the jaw. Karie walks off.* Meow!

*Karie reminds Heckz that she is the greatest pickpocket in the world and steals his ether. She then casts her scroll of newtity*

Hinckley's furry obsession... I really should go back and reread the first Fabuland Mafia game!

Oh god, what is this forum's obsession with furries! Yes, anthro means talking animals who walk on their legs. Hold on, there's a tvtropes page that'll help... Ah, here it is, Petting Zoo People! I don't believe playing anthro's is the problem, as a were-wolf or a were-lion is fine. I think playing a were-octopus simply for the x4 benefit is the problem, or a talking dragon.
