Were there any loot that fight? What are the stats the the katana and shield? Did Hoke find anything else on the guard? Hoke examines the items he found on the guard.

"I believe it would be circumspect if we went to talk to Sam again and ascertain exactly who these passages belong to. Also, did we explore the entirety of the upper chambers?" Could you PLEASE quit asking for hand outs. It's annoying and childish.

Hoke uses his Diplomacy skill "Hand over your sword, shield, and anything else you may use to navigate these passageways. We do not desire further confrontation, but we cannot have you armed at our backs."

I hope so!

Glad to see these are finally confirmed. Hope to get a few boxes from fellow collectors. Kind of disappointed the archer doesn't have the new compound bow.

Already got him covered.

Repeat attack. SP

What are we waiting on?

Amended previously stated action.

Now where is that...oh yeah...

So when is the epic advanced class only quest?

Don't. I am sure Chromeknight meant answer those question privately THEN play those out in your character. Think of your character as yourself. I don't go up to complete strangers and blab my entire personal history to them the first time I meet them. I let them learn about me through multiple conversations and interactions. Again, form your character OVER TIME, not all at once.

Before Hoke could target the machine gun, it turns on him. The gunner smiles maniacally as he unloades the machine gun on Hoke. Hoke dives under his shield just in time to feel the hot projectiles thud harmlessly into it. He leaps and rolls to another spot hoping to out maneuver the gunner before his next attack. Machine gun, back row. Leader, back row, amethyst

I think the trick to roleplay is doing it a little bit over a long time. It's cheesy if you just explain your character in one post or if a character acts one way in a post then seems to just change completely in the next. Pick a story, develop it over time and stick to it. Use your fellow players and the quest you are in to help develop your character. I'd suggest you just keep it as druid and roleplay the dark part. What do you plan to do to be a dark druid?

Hoke holds forth the gleaming amethyst Machine gun, back row. If at full attack power. If not front row.

Aaaaaand does the machine gun automatically have all of those attacks on each of its turns or is the number determined by a dice roll?

"Hold your attacks against the gunner!" cried Hoke, "Let us concentrate on the guards, then we shall unleash an onslaught upon the mechanical weapon." Reasoning: Let's kill the little guys first, then do our double damage attacks to the machine gun all at once. IF it only attacks one target, I can soak up most of the damage with my SP. Target the guards, then machine gets a free attack on me, and I soak up the attack, then it can't attack the next round. OR does it get 4 free attacks, and if so, do those free attacks just go down the order one after the other? Sound good?

So I am assuming all the of enemy long range fighters are on the back row?

We should probably wait till B&P posts the new setup.

I agree. I am sure you can tell by the objections I posted in the thread. IF the quest is canceled, do the players get to keep the exp and loot?

Wouldn't be easier if the grid was alpha-numeric (like battleship)?

You aren't adding mechanics, you are changing them. What if I want to attack from the back row? Are we doing flanking now? If there are no free attacks them what happens if we the players choose to all do defensive actions? Do the other enemies just sit there and pick their nose? Again, I am not purposefully trying to be difficult, but you keep adding and changing stuff on the fly to an established rule set. Why are you hosting a Heorica game if you don't like Heroica? Aaaaand what about the stun, the axe and the bow?

Seriously? Why can't you just follow the rules? Why are you creating something COMPLETELY different? This game is fun because it is SIMPLE! Please rethink this battle in a more classic Heroica fashion. Plus - Why am I still stunned? And, I have the axe & Erd has the bow from the last battle.

Hoke and Tomas creep back towards the entryway to the room where the guards were. Hoke draws out his amethyst and rubs a glove thumb across its sleek surface.

"On our way then. We shall wait for the blast."
