Originally after the Ironwill attacked the Overwatch tower, Ambrose was supposed to get captured and brought back to an Ironwill base. There would've been a few more battles and some puzzles; more optional loot. The party was also going to have a chance of entering Marcellus' mansion-- I wanted to give the dynamic between him and Barus a lot more fleshing-out than I was able to. I wanted Barus to say something to the heroes originally, and then have the heroes overhear Marcellus scolding him about it later. The sewers themselves were also supposed to be maze-like and explorable, with loot pockets hidden in back corners and a small battle in there with a crocodile or some other sewer-dweller. That would've been really cool, but it ended up being. A little bit too much. I didn't develop any of my NPCs nearly enough, either, so I suppose you could consider that cut, as well. I had a lot more planned as far as leading up to future quests, but ended up knocking a lot of that out. I won't be going back to the Low Kingdoms for a while.

So we're pretty much in the last leg of 121 and, surprisingly, I don't have much to say. Actually, that's not entirely true-- it's more like I don't know what to say. Or where to start. Or how to apologize for that shameful performance. First and foremost-- I'd like to apologize to everyone who had to deal with my dumb ideas. It was irresponsible and just plain stupid of me to try to come up with stuff without consulting anyone else. Second, I'd like to apologize to anyone who read the quest. It wasn't nearly what I had hoped for and other than some of the golden party interactions, it can't have been that good a read. And, most importantly, I'd like to apologize to all of my players. The quest was a trainwreck. There is nothing I can say that excuses that quest. This quest felt like playing a song-- I hit the first note (because I think Charleton's an okay NPC) but the rest of the quest just didn't sound right. It was flat; I played the notes in a terrible order. It didn't sound nice, it didn't look nice, it wasn't any fun. I'm incredibly disappointed in it. I picked the party I did more for the interaction I thought the players would have than their strength in battle. And there was some great player interaction in there. If you'd like player breakdowns, I can do them, but I don't have much to say about that-- you were all pretty great. There were a few golden moments that I really liked, and even if this quest was awful, your characters helped it shine just a little bit. The party itself was awesome. This exchange, in particular, is one I love, and that still makes me laugh: But I'm disappointed in myself for not giving you the experience you deserved and that I had planned. I overcomplicated things. I overcomplicated things for myself and for everyone else. I ended up burning myself out and cutting quite a few of the other scenes I had planned-- I cut out roughly a third of the quest, because honestly I didn't want to force you folk to be on a quest that wasn't fun for you and I didn't want to keep it going if I wasn't enjoying it, either. The battles were easy. I underestimated time and time again how powerful the party was. I have no excuse for the last battle-- I didn't give enough thought in balancing it and it ended up being a sick joke. I mean, the entire quest was, but that one part in particular was especially bad. I don't really have much to say aside from apologies. I don't have any excuses. A big thank you for bearing with me, and sorry to have given you all a terrible finished product. I don't intend for this to be my last quest. For the immediate future, yes-- but not forever. This was a learning experience, for sure, and one that I won't need to repeat. Again, really sorry, everyone. Hopefully next time around it won't be nearly as bad.

The heroes make their way back through the sewers and up into the city, guiding themselves towards the City Guard tower where they started their journey. The guards nod as they pass, recognizing them. Some smile; most whisper of your feats, awe colouring their voices. They enter Charleton's office, pleasantly surprised to find it cleaner than upon their arrival. Charleton greets them with a grimace and a wave of his broom. "Heroes. I heard there was some commotion outside. Good to know you're unscathed." He pauses for a moment, glancing at each hero in turn, his eyes narrowing. "Did you put the culprit to rest? I see no prisoners... Not that it's an issue." Charleton hastily makes his way behind his desk, opening the leftmost drawer. From out of it he pulls six jingling bags of gold coin, each holding 150 gold-- the promised reward. He swings his hip, knocking the drawer shut-- and sending all his papers scattering across the ground. He closes his eyes and sighs deeply, his shoulders sagging. "For the love of--" "Sigh. Here, Heroes. You've earned some solid coin." The Quest was Victorious!

Ambrose quickly fizzes out of existence, leaving only a small necklace imbued with a gem behind-- her heart, so to speak. Barus collapses to his knees, greatsword tosses to the side. He didn't have any fight left in him. The party was victorious! The Ironwill invaders were repelled! The mystery had been solved!

"The best way for our people to survive was to take over these walls. I stand by that decision. The men of Ironwill deserve such safety in the months to come." Barus bristles next to his master, hand clenching around his thick blade. His calm demeanor is on-edge. He kept glancing at his master-- had they had some sort of disagreement? The heroes make their way forward, the water rushing faster and faster, before finally they reach the end of the sewer pipe. It runs into a river-- sand and small rock covered both sides of the running water. A squad of Ironwill soldiers stood, weapons ready, prepared to face the heroes' onslaught. "It's not too late to walk away, heroes." Quietly, Marcellus gives one final order to his black-armoured guard. "Barus, your life is mine. Defend me. The rest of you-- answer any aggression shown." He places his fingers in his mouth, letting loose a shrill whistle. A howl answers. He then reaches into his cloak with his left hand, pulling out a pair of gems-- a Sapphire and a Topaz. He quickly lets loose a bolt of lightning; it strikes Ambrose's own gem, Ambrose's heart. He makes a pulling motion with his hands, wind gusting and transporting Ambrose's jewel into his open palm. Cluching it in his hands, he energizes the jewel once more. Let the Final optional Battle Begin: Marcellus: Level 53 Humanoid Health: 1000 Ether: 20 SP: 8 Drops: Dog-Fur Coat (SP: 5, backwear, allows the wearer to command any mutt into obedience), 100 gold, Mutt's Flute (WP:10, causes the weakened effect, instrument) Specials: (decided by die roll): (1,2, 3)Who’s a good boy?

"So be it," Garrett shrugs. "I'll join the Overwatch forces, Slate, and slaughter anyone trying to make their way deeper into the city. Best of luck, investigators." Slate watches Garrett rush off, bowing to the heroes. "Aye. Best of luck." Without further ado, the heroes descent into the sewers, ankle-deep in murky water. Dim ember-lit torches line the walls, giving off a faint light. The heroes follow the flow of the sewage, quickly jogging through twists and turns, screams echoing through the corridors as Ironwill and Overwatch soldiers alike were slaughtered. The heroes, after a short few minutes of feeble exploring, finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Light-- --and two familiar faces. Were they guarding the exit with more Ironwill forces? From the looks of things, this may be their final battle in Ovalen. Were the heroes prepared?

"It dissolves after this round. Focus on hitting the Reaper's where it hurts."

"Ha! No. I'm no prince. The Overwatch hired me to help keep the sewers safe on my way through town. Apparently I look an able sort." "I'm sure it suits them," Garett laughs. "I ask because although he was with you for a while, now he is not. I'm the suspicious sort. I also recognize him, unless my memory fails me. And also because if you are going to hunt him, I'm going to join you. His servant looks like a fun match." Pretzel manages to dig through the nearby dirt, finding a gold bar. The Magic Compass does indeed point towards the Sewers-- confirming that the duo made a hasty retreat.

Mortimer twitches slightly, his hand moving to where his eye once was. His hesitation lasts a mere second before he raises his shield and bow again, firing at not Seerus, but the Reaper. "I will let him squirm like the worm he is. I will crush him under my boot when we are finished with the Reaper."

Shouts can be heard echoing in the sewers-- no doubt a call for retreat. Without a doubt, Barus and Marcellus had entered the sewer and made their escape-- Slate rushes towards the heroes, rapier in-hand, sweat beading on his forehead. "I was going to ask if you were alright, but it seems I don't have to. Good work, heroes. No doubt that was only a fraction of their forces, but with luck they won't try the sewers again." A familiar presence speaks up from behind the heroes, the tips of his spears streaked with blood. "Ha! Knowing the Ironwill, they'll just come more prepared. Watch the tunnels well, Slate." The man saunters over to Slate, joining him, and inspects the heroes with a wide grin. "You folk are impressive. First the thugs at the bar, now this. I like you." "You know them?" "About as well as I need to." "Captain! Your Orders?" "Get men into the tunnels. Don't let them push further into the city. Hem them into a corner if you can-- if not, push them towards the exit." "That almost sounds fun. Maybe I'll get a head start and meet the retreating Ironwill there. Wait, investigators-- Did you not join forces with the cloaked man and his guard dog after killing off those thugs? Where are they?"

"Stand strong," Mortimer grits his teeth, his armour battered and bruised, his shield dented, his body tired, his eye strained. He straightens, rising to his full, unimpressive height, shoulders tense, Vigilant raised. "He won't defeat us. Not anymore. Alice, another Magical vortex would be great. Knock him down. Boomingham, keep up your assault. Karie, heal Johon. Johon, ravage the Reaper. Jeaux, nail him again. Spirits, do your worst. Punii-- hang in there and hit him where it hurts." Battle Order: Mortimer VS The Eternal Reaper with Blazing Bow from Back Row Alice heals Johon from the Back Row. Octus VS Right Claw B with Spectral Claws from Back Row Masson VS Left Claw B with Darksteel Zandatsu from Back Row Punii attacks Open Wound A with Tiny Tail from Back Row. Daranza the Fifty Third casts a Lightning spell with his Topaz at Left Claw A from Back Row Boomingham VS Open Wound C with Frozen Saber from Front Row Boomingham VS Open Wound C with Frozen Saber from Back Row Karie Heals Johon from the Back Row Johon chugs back a Grand Potion from the Back Row IF both instances of healing fail. If not, he attacks the Apex Tail with Muckracker from Back row. Johon VS Apex Tail with Muckracker from Back Row unless the Apex Tail will die. If the Apex Tail will die, he attacks Open Wound A. Jeaux VS Open Wound A with Light Spell from Back Row

QM Note: Ambrose works the same was as an Evoker's summon; she can't be prevent a Free Hit and cannot be hit by a Free Hit.

"Your father was already dead," Mortimer barks. "Did you think if his spirit survived this battle that he would be able to live on? No. This was his last fight. At least he went down swinging."

"Remain composed," Mortimer breathes, firing an arrow, his shield raised-- though dented. "Karie, take down the Left Claw B. Despite the hex, if we can attack all his limbs, he'll backfire his spell. Make him hurt. Make him squirm." Battle Order: Mortimer VS Left Claw A with Blazing Bow from Back Row Octus VS Apex Tail with Spectral Claws from Back Row Masson VS Right Claw B with Darksteel Zandatsu from Back Row Alice Heals Karie from Back Row Punii attacks Open Wound A with Tiny Tail from Back Row.

"You brought Ironwill here?" Slate shakes his head, grabbing his rapier from his desk and opening the door leading upstairs. "Sound the alarm! Rally! Scour the building!" The party quickly makes their way downstairs, Slate shouting orders behind them. Ambrose follows the heroes, half-running, half floating amongst the party. They burst forth from the Overwatch tower, glancing out into the streets, Dyric hunting for Barus and Marcellus, hot on their trail-- The scene that awaits them is not one they expected. Armed soldiers are crawling out of the sewer ducts in large numbers. The low flat-topped barracks rustled with a chorus of yells-- it seemed as though the Overwatch were mobilizing. Perhaps it was too late. The invasion had begun. The smuggling, the maps-- the Ironwill's plan must have been to infiltrate through the sewers all along. QM Note: Will update with battle specifics first thing tomorrow morning, giving you all an extra few hours to prepare.

"The Ironwill refugees are taking part in smuggling operations through the city's sewers. They hide in the slums, trying to disguise their operation as refuge. Ambrose has brought back many a scribbled letter; we've been stopping smuggling operations for weeks now. Surely you understand our need to keep quiet about her. Fear is the greatest weapon of all." "Ambrose brings back maps of the sewers, smuggling plans, scribbled notes... Arms, armour. Things refugees wouldn't have. Shouldn't have. As for compensation...Hm. How does a level-up mushroom each sound?" "I miss him," the apparition whispers, her voice reminiscent of a cold breeze. "I do not want to forget. I do not want them to forget. I must obey his last order." Slate turns back around from the window, facing the heroes again, his face grim. "She's no dem--" he starts, eyes widening, voice gaining an edge. "Where did the others go?" The heroes glance around, unsure of the source of Slate's surprise. Marcellus and Barus were gone.

"Getting our spirit to stop doing that would mean she would have to cease existing," Slate shrugs. "That's something you can take up with her. She's sentient. But she's doing good work." "The infiltrators would fall on their blades before submitting information to us. Killing them quickly is more humane than torture. And if we've got some monster in our street mummifying people, fear will keep more infiltrators at bay. I see nothing wrong with our methods. If it can prevent a war, it's saving lives in the end." "And how are you going to go about doing that? Stopping the brewing war?" Slate turns on his heels, striding to one of the windows, his back to the heroes. "Unfortunately, I'm not sure anyone can be reasoned with. In fact, the only reason we're in this bloody situation in the first place is our strategic positioning. People want these walls. People want to be in these walls. We're in the best position to strike out at the other kingdoms. Ironwill, Redstone, Crescent Bay... We can attack them all. But the Overwatch don't want dominion over the lands. The Overwatch are fine holding the state they have. So tell me, mailman. How do you propose to stop a war?"

The room has two exits; one heading down the stairs where the heroes came, and one to the right behind a closed door. The Overwatch captain doesn't seem to be armed, but has a green rapier stationed on his desk. Hoke notices the same, but a lack of much else. The room was mostly empty. A few lamps lit the area. The windows showed a clear view of the streets outside. He does notice, however, that things are incredibly quiet. Every so often sound travels through the floor- light movement from above. The Captain's eyes narrow, but he shakes Dyric's hand regardless. "Slate. I'm beginning to think this is an interrogation. You'll be compensated well regardless. To answer your questions, our men still patrol. I haven't had the luxury to spare a few to pick up the crate- nor was it a pressing issue. We'll only need that armour if the worst comes to pass." He crosses his arms, inspecting the heroes. "I don't know why you're here, but I have heard whispers that Charleton hired a group of Heroes to investigate the corpses. I'm not familiar with the organization. Are you them? No matter." Slate gestures towards the two guards. They hastily exit the room through the door on the right. The heroes hear the creaking of stairs as they ascend the tower. "Have a seat. I'm afraid I only have seven cushions." "Barus will stand." "...Right. Let's have a talk, then." "Let me first tell you about the Overwatch. We've existed for years, slowly building up our forces, each member a trusted companion. We're like the City Guards, but better trained, better equipped, better informed, and better looking. Unlike the City Guard, we're an army. We're Ovalen's standing army, and the Lord of the Overwatch has the final say about what goes on in the City." "A couple months ago, the Ironwill princeling had... a rather scandalous affair. He slept with at least two princesses from neighbouring kingdoms-- neither of which were his arranged bride. Already tense relations became much, much worse. Redstone suffered-- their heir was put to sleep. Ovalen is suffering; we're in the middle. We're getting pressured from all sides, but especially from the Ironwill. Their kingdom is the most powerful of all our neighbours. Worse yet, Ironwill soldiers have been coming in droves, some seeking refuge, some trying to get a foothold in our city." The captain sighs. "Those second ones killed off a very important Overwatch official. I'm sure you're familiar with what an Evoker is, correct? Someone who can summon spirits with some sort of gem? Ours was incredibly skilled. The spirit he summoned was one he had been with for a few years-- he shaped that spirit, bound them to the gem. They're strong." The door to the right opens. A stragely-coloured woman steps out from it, her body slightly transparent and glowing. Suspended in her upper chest is a bright gem-- it must be what is used to summon her. She bows slightly, though her face betrays no emotion and she remains silent. "This is Ambrose. She's sapping the life force from the Ironwill infiltrators as she roots them out in order to maintain her form. She's keen on purging them from the city to avenge her fallen master. She takes their armour and anything of note, bringing it here. We bring the armour to the Smithy-- he reforges it, making it into the stronger armour that we wear now. That's what you delivered."

QM Note: Sorry for the delay. I'll do what I can to pick up the pace. Nerwen notices that the first guard is wielding a bright red axe-- the second an orange, curved blade. "Package for the Captain? From who?" "Probably not from the circus. Shame." "Quiet about the circus, mate. Go talk to the Captain. See what 'e wants to do." The eyepatched guard turns on his heels, marching into the door, his companion shuffling gently while awaiting his return. He's not gone long. He trudges back outside, gesturing for everyone to make their way in. They climb a single flight of stairs-- the scene that awaits them is... not quite expected. The Overwatch Captain, a friendly smile on his face, awairs the heroes. The two guards stand in a corner, standing ready but not braced for combat. Near the heroes sits a lot table, six pillows scattered around. "Welcome. You've a... package of sorts, yes? That chest, I presume?" Barus puts the chest down with an audible clang. "Excellent. That's from the Smithy, yes? Did he already compensate you?"

The Flip card won't work, considering it would mean having to play two cards at once, unless I misunderstand your theory behind it.

The mithril crystal bashes against the lock, scratching and chipping it, though not breaking it open. Marcellus sighs, gesturing Barus to pick up the chest once more. The dark-armoured man lifts it with a heavy grunt, trudging behind the party as they move towards the outskirts of the city. Buildings become more and more sparse-- not only that, but the few buildings dotting the outer edge are all plain. Perhaps these were the barracks? It would explain the general lack of people-- nobody seemed to roam the streets. Their destination slowly comes into view, and the heroes get a sense of what, exactly, awaits them. The tower, entryway fenced in, spires towards the sky. It's not as tall as they imagined, but the bland exterior stretches as high as the City's wall. They approach the courtyard, looking up at the tower. It did seem taller from up close. The heroes approach the door cautiously, Barus huffing and puffing with the heavy chest in his hands. Two guards quickly open the door, meeting the heroes in the small, stone-floored courtyard. They don't raise their weapons, but eye the heroes suspiciously. "Oi! Who goes there?" "Mailmen, by the looks o' things." "Ha! They're well-armed for mailmen." "Maybe they're from the circus, yeah?"

OOC: I fixed it. My bad; was in a bit of a rush.
