Hoke pats Torc on the side of the neck and they take off once again, flying ahead.

Hoke flies Torc onto the deck of the Magpie as he sees his comrades meeting together. "Torc and I can scout ahead and lookout for rocks in the water. I hope the Apocalypse took a bit of damage," Hoke says after hearing out the plan.

Hoke squeezes Torc with his legs and the dragon climbs higher into the air, trying to see if there is any activity on the ironclad ship.

How would Hoke's weapon be correctly labeled after applying: Hydra Tongue (Causes a weapon to deal the poisoned by 3 and -1 SP effects permanently)?

Any class with Ether I believe.

That penalty was removed & replaced with the XP penalty if either the dragoon or dragon are KO'd at the end of the round. You can role play mistrust/bonding all you want, but it's not a game mechanic because it was penalizing players for a lack of QM/rep rewards.

Just making sure. Never hurts to ask.

Then just don't play it.

That might be the answer there, but waiting on Sandy to clarify.

That's what I am trying to find out: does it count as poisoning the Dragon's attack. Also, can you Poison a Chi Monk's hands?

"I shall see that it is put to good use," Hokes says. "We will see," Chuckles the whispering voice... Hoke steels himself against the voice as he mounts Torc. The dragon hunches down, wings raised, and with a mighty vault shoots up into the air, flying to the side of the Magpie.

Can Venoms be used on Dragons so their attacks are Poisoned?

Also, was the white round 1x1 on the bench by the sword anything?

Well, that was years in the making, just seemed like an opportune time.

As the party lays out plans for attack, Hoke gazes upon the eyeless corpse. He looks over the cuts, burns, gouges, and finally, the blank, empty sockets where Jules's eyes once were. "Natural order," he again mutters to himself. As he continues to take in the scene, the same whispering voice creeps into his ear and snakes its way into his mind. This was the first time Hoke let it in. And that's all it needed. Hoke reaches for the small pouch tied around his neck. He empties the contents, a small orb colored with swirly black ink, Zoot's Plaything. Clenching the small orb in is his left hand, he removes his right glove and places the orb in his naked hand. He lets down the mental barrier he has held so long against the orb and lets it into his mind. He is suddenly overtaken with visions and he cannot control. Fear Pain Anger Chaos Death He comes to himself, barely able to keep his footing as his knees buckle under a sudden overwhelming dizziness as a malevolent cackle echos distantly in his ear. He looks down at this palm and sees the orb sitting there, a bit of its inkiness bleeding out onto his hand. "Use me," he hears. He closes his eyes and concentrates on the orb, feeling a quick sharp stab of pain that fades almost as quickly as he feels it. He opens his eyes to see a wickedly tipped spear, gleaming black like a starlit midnight sky. Almost on instinct, he reaches into his pouch and produces something wrapped in a dingy cloth. He unwraps the fleshly piece of meat, and Torc hisses. He then lowers the spear and skewers the Hyrda's Tongue down the length of the spear. The tongue gives up its gift as greenish acidic poison bleeds all over the spear which it greedily drinks in. He tosses the spent tongue on the floor with Torc promptly devours with a glob of molten fire. "Natural order," Hoke says again. He silently prepares for the coming battle. Hoke uses: Zoot's Plaything - Zoot's Order (WP: 39, 3 Poison, -1 SP to enemies) Hydra Tongue Mead Nostrum Smelling Salt Hoke's inventory has 2 Feathers of Flight listed separately. Should he only have 1 or 2?

Hoke checks the barrel/crate with the sword and the nearby bench. "I guess we have different definitions on 'Natural Order'," Hoke mutters to himself as he takes in the scene. Hoke looks at the body and the damage done to it. "Who exactly was he captain?" Hoke asks, hoping to get more insight on what was transpiring,"And who is MALPHIEN?" he asks to no one in particular.

Hoke nods at the assassin's suggestion. "Anyone else?"

Hoke tries again: MALPHIEN

"What else did you see in your vision Dyric?" Hoke asks as he works the lock.

Hoke should be level 52.2 I believe, if he started the last fight at 51.6. Does that factor in the XP from the kitchen puzzle?

Hoke races the letters through his head quickly, and is struck by a possible solution. NEPHALIM (NEPHILAM) Is it supposed to be spelled the same as CAT, because that's with 2 i's?

You do...

Hoke grabs the chain before it falls as Torc lunges out the window, spewing a molten line of acidic flame. Hoke picks up the key the captain threw down.

Vipera?
