OOC: I know right! If you guys are ready to head off, let me know so we can go and get the Accountant.

"This figures, I like them." *Smashes them onto the ground* "BRING ME ANOTHER!"

Ha! That's just awesome! Nothing else to say but nice job, commodore_legolas!

OOC: You're right Jeaux. How did I miss that... I'm just going to auto roll in this case. Hold on a second! Round 3 Against The Flock of Bats Zoltan - Dire Bat C- Special Damage (2-2= 0 Damage) > Heckz - Dire Bat C- Miss > Em - Dire Bat C- Special Damage (2/2= 0 Damage) > Amma - Dire Bat C- Damage (5/2= 3 Damage) > Jeaux - Dire Bat C- Hit (13 Damage) The battle continues as the party attempts to exterminate the remaining bats. Spells are flunked, arrows are fire, and bats bite, and as the dust settles, one party member is injured, and one bat is down. "Squeak." ("That's individualism for you.")

Everyone but Amma goes up a level. Amma goes up .5 levels. Party leader, please distribute loot. With the bats taken care of, the party turns their attention to the man cowering in the corner. He looks about, realizing his assalints are now gone, and turns around to see the party. After seeing their weapons he begins to look nervous. He adjusts his collar and hat, and cautiously begins to speak. "Um... please don't harm me, I mean you no quarrel! In fact, I myself seem to have stumbled down here when the malicious spooks ran afoul up top chased me down here! I beg you, please believe me! I'm not one of the ghouls you're looking for!" How will the party respond?

Karie sneered. The sneer turned into a snicker which transformed into laughter. "Kill you? Are you mad? Oh wait, I already know the answer: yes! And I mean that in both senses of the word too, as in your angry at me because I'm awesomer than you, and that your absolutely bonkers! I'm curious as to what you think I am? Who I was, and all that jazz. Come on little miss know-it-all, who am I in your eyes? Some demon incarnate? Or perhaps a succubus?! Oh, no, I know, the second coming of Zoot! All hail Karie, Zoot reincarnate!" She continues to laugh.

Round 2 Against The Flock of Bats! Zoltan - Dire Bat E- Miss > Heckz - Dire Bat E- Hit (7x2 = 14) > Em - Dire Bat A- Aim (5 damage) > Amma - Dire Bat A- Shield (13x2=26 ALL ENEMIES) > Jeaux - Dire Bat B- Hit (13 damage) Dire Bat C: Zoltan (5 damage/2-2= 1) *Sentinel!* Dire Bat D: Heckz (5 Damage/2=3) *Sentinel!* After the misfortune of the last round of combat, the party recuperates to take on the winged menace. Zoltan, shield in hand, attempts to attack Dire Bat E, who quickly dodges his swipe! Heckz however uses this to his benefit, and attacks the distracted bat with an Ice Spell, turning it into a giant chunk of ice.. Em fires an arrow at the bat, finishing it off. Amma releases a huge amount of elemental ice all over her opponents, stopping her opponents dead in their tracks and causing a layer of ice to form on the mausoleum walls. Dire Bat A succumbs to it's wounds, and shatters when it hits the ground. Jeaux fires an arrow at Dire Bat B, doing a decent amount of damage. The battle wages on... "Eek!" ("Eek!")

Karie stepped back. Nessa wasn't nuts, she was crazy! Karie wasn't as scared as Nessa probably wished she was. The Apprentice and the Stealer were to thank for that. She remained calm, and breathed heavily. There was a tinge of fear in her voice, despite trying to stay calm."Nessa, you need to stop with the spooky white eyes thing. It's not cool. Second, shut up, I'm party leader, so deal with it sweet cheeks. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for me, so put a sock in it, you little attention seeking misfit. Thirdly, you didn't answer my question. What is my so-called plan you insist I'm scheming?"

*Slow Clap* Well played Eurobrick's Staff, well played...

Karie was slightly taken back from Nessa's voice. Damn it, that's the second time bringing up other's relatives pissed others off. But Nessa wasn't Brickington. Brickington was naive, sure, but Nessa was arrogant, and rude, and possibly nuts. Revenge is a dish best served immediately. She chuckled. "A plan? Please, elaborate! Perhaps so everyone, including mommy could hear!" She than projected her voice upwards, jumping up and down giddily. "Are you listening! Nessa dearest is trying to make me, her party leader look bad! What do you have to say about that!" She shrugged her shoulders. "Guess not. Oh, and nice scary voice too, how often do you use that? I can do one too, except mine's better because I actually know how to act."

Karie sternly looked at Nessa."I think you've confused yourself with what an idiot is, Nessa. An idiot doesn't think rationally, or doesn't understand the concept of teamwork. Wait, oh, that's you!" Karie scoffed. "And I thought perhaps we were getting somewhere Nessa. And don't even think about coming and talking to me at my table! If your going to act like a stuck up little jerk forget it, go cry to mommy or something! Put the crossbow down, you'll shoot your eye out." Karie chuckled to herself.

Karie was not in the most pleasant of moods. She still felt on edge from before. The last thing she wanted was to go halfway around the city again. The Accountant better be the last link to this conspiracy pyramid, or she might just lose it. Never again did she want to involve herself in the cloth trade. "I may be rogue by name, but not so much by nature." She tossed him the rest of the potion. "A deal's a deal. If you would be so kind to dispose of Mr. Arch-Bishop's body over there it would be most appreciated. As well, can you point out the rendezvous point?" She turned to her party, more determined then ever to get out of this stupid city and leave the leader position behind her. "Let's go, now. We're running out of time, and the Accountant needs to receive his bill from Marty's assistant." She didn't bother with her makeup, she simply lead her party to the rendezvous point given by the ravens.

Karie sighed. What was she to do? Stab the raven and lose the trail? "We were offered a bounty if we brought your heads to your former employer. However, I'm certain we can strike a deal if you were to help us in taking out our Chekov's Gunman, the accountant. Whatever a "gunman" is..."

Karie threw her arms up into the air. She was infuriated to the extreme. "We passed him back in that flipping alley, oh for the love of some blasted deity, we were this close!" Karie's face was turning red, clearly visible due to the lack of makeup on certain parts of her face. She kicked some debris in the alley and began to start her rage. The debris went straight into the street, the kick was that hard. She could hardly stand this city of corruption and thieves! She wanted to go back and stab the accountant right there and then! "That's it! I've had it! This stupid goose chase has had me at wits end! Back and forth, back and forth, across this bloody city! Damn it!" Karie took a moment to calm down, breathing heavily. It wasn't working. She had a feeling of regret and rage building inside her. She was that close! A familiar voice popped back into her head. "This isn't like you, Karie. You'll find a way. I know you will." "Damn it, Cliff, I want to go home..." She mutters. Where ever home is... Karie walks back to Ed. "I'm a very busy woman. Where would this Accountant be now?"

Aww, thanks Lordy!NO! Karie loves working with Mr. A, she loves it! She couldn't live without him! What just happened?

And here it is! Round 1 Against The Flock of Bats! Zoltan v. Dire Bat C= Shield (Sentinel! No damage next round!) >Amma v. Dire Bat A= Miss >Heckz v. Dire Bat D= Special Damage= (5/2=3) >Jeaux v. Dire Bat B= Damage (5/2=3) >Em v. Dire Bat E= Critical Hit (6x2+7=21) The party prepares for the incoming swarm of large bats bats! Zoltan prepares his stance for the potential onslaught next round, but he is not ready for the misfortune that follows next. Amma, attempting to cast a spell, cannot concentrate long enough with the large mass of bats flying about the party. Heckz, trying to attack, is instead targeted by the swarm and attacked by the Dire Bats, who swarm him! When they depart, Heckz has bite marks all over him, and he looks terrified after what happened! Jeaux is equally unlucky, being bite by one of the bats. Em manages to land a powerful hit on his target during the chaos, sticking an arrow in one of the Dire Bats! The round continues, the man still huddling in the corner... "Squee, squee squee squeak!"

Or as Nessa would say:"Pick an alias and stick with it!" ...because Karie was both Bridgette, and a seductress, and Marty's assistant, and...

"Squee! Squee-ee!" ("I'll have you know we as a collective whole find your banter about us not being different very insulting! In fact, Dire Bat C has a notch in his ear after a run in with a nasty Dire Rat, and E happens to have a rather chipper personality! We are all individuals!") "Squeak." ("I'm not...") Round coming shortly...

The only reason I decided to do my quest in the cemetery was because I was working on one to begin with! And the best part is: it wasn't finished! There's huge holes where the stain glass windows are going! And the steeple isn't finished either! In fact, I've been working on that blasted cemetery for about six months now, and it's still not done!

Karie also fights for her friends. ...yes... Derp question: When sentinel is rolled, does it take place that round, or the next? If a knight rolls shield, and is first in order, does all damage do nothing the round it's rolled, or the next?

You went and left Karie behind without saying good bye before going on quest 60. I feel no sympathy for you.

Yes, Ed, the conscious one.

Karie knew the party was running out of time, but she didn't entirely know what to do. Of course, she had labelled herself party leader with a big shiny pin. She should be able to handle anything, because she was the party leader. Stupid pin... Karie takes the potion and only heals Al. "We'll heal your boyfriend after you talk. How did you get the information involving the takeover?"

Karie looked at her party. "Group consensus? Any thoughts?"
