I hope you are too. You & WBD were my main QMs, and I would hate for you to miss out on this. Besides, we have story arcs to complete. ;)

"Mayhaps, but when was Heroica ever asked to help the city? We've helped the Houses for sure, and maybe a few of the citizens, but the city?" Hoke finally takes a bite of his meal and chews for a second, to savor the flavor and to think.

"Acts of chivalry, courage, etc, etc,"Hoke says, clearing his throat,"In my family, and in most of my country, when we attain our knighthood, we are sent out immediately to make a name on our own with only the most basic supplies. We are not allowed to use our family's name, coat of arms, or colors in our endeavors. Once we have committed what we believe to be enough acts, we are allowed to return home, recite our deeds, and, if they are found to be sufficient, and we are granted a portion of our inheritance, and began or resume courtship." "Do you see any quests pinned to the board? Seems that no one wants or needs our help anymore. My hope is that we, as Heroicans, inspired those that we helped to help those around them."

Or I could kill stuff. Want to host the one-man army in the Fields? (Is there anyone with a level-up Mushroom?)

Hoke sat upright, as if he had been splashed with cold water, and slumped his shoulders. "You know, I never thought of that," he said, taking a sip from his mug,"I pray tis not so. Mayhaps it will be, but I hope it's simply home." Hoke looked into his mug, swirling the contents a bit, and takes another drink. "I'm more than ready to assume my place. I know it will be waiting for me."

Are Sign-ups open?

Hoke clinks Dyric's mug with his newly arrived mug, spilling a bit of the contents on the table. "Not as exciting as it used to be," he says with a chuckle,"To be honest, I have been considering lately about going back home. I've set out to do what I needed to do, and that was accomplished a long time ago. Not sure there is much else for me, or us, to do around here." He talks a good drink from his mug. "Mayhaps we did what we did a little too well."

"If we have, it feels like a lifetime ago," the Paragon says as he extends his hand to shake hers,"Nevertheless, it's good to see a friendly face in these Halls again."

"Hmmmm," Hoke muses as he reads the issue,"The politically powerful are corrupt. Who would have imagined that?" He looks at the others sitting at the table. "I wonder what is going to be done about this?"

So I need to get Hoke into the Fields of Glory before the final quest. Anyone want to see what a Paragon can do as a one-man-wrecking-crew? Just a few fights away from Level 60. Then, maybe a class change is in order.

"No, I have not. Do you have a copy I may read?"

The doors of the Hall creaks open, letting in a crisp autumn chill. The Paragon steps in, quietly shutting the door behind him. It felt like ages since he had stepped foot into the Hall, but he knew it hadn't been that long. He scans the Hall quickly, noticing a crackling fire in the hearth, his familiar chair empty and waiting for him. But then he sees a small group of fellow Heroicans sitting together. "Did I miss anything while I was gone?" Hoke asks as he sits down with the group, waving the tavern keep over for a meal and drink.

I was referring to this. Not sure what the point is. I did not think you were picking on me.

Not that is matters at this point, but there are not rules/guidelines for the first PC gifting to the second PCs. Not sure why you feel like you need to remind everyone of your opinion.

Bittersweet for sure. Hoke will be there, if he is chosen.

Yes, and I still can't imagine running a quest for Hoke.

It became too much, so much so, that QMs had to come up with near indestructible encounters that often times negated certain classes' special abilities. It began to suck the life out of the game for many players when that happened I believe.

I know you and a couple other QMs had actual formulas for this, but the main problem with encounter design was the OP PCs. I think that is the problem that needs to be focused on. I couldn't imagine trying to QM for Hoke.

I wonder if that is something we can work on for 2.0.

Sandy quitting, the same QMs running quests, the quests getting harder to manage because of OP PCs, a few prominent/previously energetic players quitting around the same time, etc.

I knew Zepher has some loose ends, and I thought you did as well. I would love for Hoke to be in both if possible.

How many story lines do we have? I'm in.

And a fourth! Is something afoot?

As would I.
