With his eyes nearly crossed from exertion and the longswords protesting with metallic shrieks, Dak loses his balance and ungracefully kisses the tunnel wall with his whole face. The gem sits steadfast in its original place.

Shy as soft and cuddly new born kittens, the two heroes play patty cake with the gem. Undeterred by their unmanly cuteness, the gem is stuck fast into the rock face.

Too bad you need a magnifying glass to check for traps The party inspects the source of the sparkle and see a looked over gem imbedded in the rock.

As the party turns to leave, the heroes notice a small sparkle in the rock face.

The party makes its way to the left and faces yet another dead end.

Hoke walked into Heroica Hall to break his fast after a night of solitude. He noticed all of the commotion around the Questboard. Hoke signed up for Quest #25.

Hoke decided to get up and enjoy an evening's walk before bed. He had many things to mull over and some solitude would be welcome.

Nah, I just learned to take naps.

I like 'forcing' them to role play with my day long stretches of no updates.

Waiting for y'all to finish role playing

The party moves down the left tunnel as silently as possible. The Steward's torch burns brightly to illuminate the way. The heroes arrive at yet another intersection. Right or Left?

"I am enjoying the rest as well but am eager to try out my new skills."

I thought scrolls were a one use item. If not, I guess I just assumed that.

Hoke returns from the Marketplace to take his evening meal. He spots Dyric and Tesni and sits by them. "Any luck finding a new quest?"

I'd change the description of your weapon since you don't have a topaz merged to your weapon. The description as is claims your weapon can do lightning elemental damage.

"Does anyone have any gems for sale? I am particularly looking for a topaz, ruby and garnet. I have a hollow blade dagger for sale or trade if anyone is interested."

Hoke walks out of the Hall and heads outside for some fresh air and to look if anyone is selling gems in the Marketplace.

The party searches the chamber but comes up empty handed. They decided to hoof it back to the Giant Spider's lair and continue on from there. As the descend into a cool, dark tunnel, they come to another 3-way intersection. Straight, right, or left?

The party turns about to explore the oppodsite end of the current tunnel. The path ends in an unremarkable chamber that was long ago picked clean by the Miners' Guild.

Hoke turned his back to Skrall and turned toward the icy beast. He puckered his lips, blew, then winked as he nodded his head towards Skrall.

"Haha! It's ok my friend! You should be nice to this one since it may save your skin in battle one day!"

I am expecting something special now!

"Magnificent! A true pleasure to make your acquaintance. You are the second dragon I have met on my journeys. The other, a youngling named Vipera aided me on my last quest. Without his help, the battles would have truly been much more difficult. Tell me how you aid Alexis in battle."

"An Evoker? So you've chosen to add a bit of magic to your arsenal as well. Can you summon the dragon now. or is it more prudent to be outside?"

Would you like Hoke to ask you?
