Waterbrick Down

QM Note: For continuity purposes, I just realized that Legonardo is still in Xu, therefor his assistant, Dr. Monalisa Gioconda has been swapped in. "You are heading to Kappa-La province. the Little Finger has assured me that your arrival is expected, however the Kappa-La province is one of an expansive wilderness which of course has its expected dangers." "Your friend brought up the point of the sandstorms, they'd reek havoc on our ether-tech. Thunderstorms and a bit of rain we can handle, but sand just gets everywhere and is a true pain to work out of the circuitry." "There are reports circulating through the city that a ship carrying a few heroes, the Flouncy Phoenix, had a run in with the colony a few months back but were able to successfully repel them." "I've ensured the Destiny's Bounty has been installed with the latest in sonic deterrence and interference systems, and we always have good old fashioned wax if we really need it." "They would need to fend for themselves, I'm afraid. My family has personally arranged for new land where the people of Eubric can safely start afresh, to undertake a diplomatic mission to every single possible landing spot would be beyond the scope of this mission." "I've made some improvements to the Destiny's Bounty while Legonardo has been away in Xu. We've upgraded the Ether-cannons, installed sonic defenses as I mentioned, and have replaced the afterburner allowing for even higher maximum speeds. We do include parachutes if you're afraid of heights master wizard." The doctor winks. "You've flown with the Destiny's Bounty before? I'd find it hard to believe a dragon could keep up, he must be a speedy one. And yes, the simplest route is often the best one."

The heroes of the Crescent Union slowly assemble at the palace of the Ji Pei where they are greeted by Jun and his mother. "What a fine selection of expertise we have before us." "Indeed mother, some of the very best of the Union. Heroes, I know that a good majority of you did not agree with my position as it regards this undertaking, but I am thankful for your offer to assist and to follow the will of our community. Hopefully you will indeed discover as I have the great opportunity that lies in Xu for the excellent people of this city." "It is certainly more than some would think they deserve." "Let us get on to the details. While we have confirmation from the rulers in Xu that the land is ours to use, we still must ensure that the way between here and there is safe for the transportation of the settlers. Master Legonardo and the Tritech Corporation are seeing to the construction of new airships for the means of transportation however, because of their size they will not be able to reach the altitude of some of Vincent's more advanced dirigibles." At this point the famous inventor's assistant enters the room. "What he means to say, is with the possibility of hundreds of people on board we can't risk keeping them all up thousands of feet above the ground. We need to plot a course to Xu that is quick and relatively safe." "Ah, Dr. Gioconda, right on time. Indeed, now looking at a map of Olegaia, we've charted the best route is over Pyr, through the Strait of Seirenes, past the southern border of Babeleth, across the Jade Sea and straight on to Xu." "There's a colony of Sirens in that strait that we're going to need to deal with and then we're going to need to build a refueling station in either Salamanda or Babeleth." "I'll leave that to you heroes to sort out. Once you're in Xu, make sure that the settlement is secure and hasn't been over-run by monsters or anything." "We'll be taking the Destiny's Bounty, is there anything you heroes need before we depart?"

It's 5*2 so yes it does put a big strain on ether reserves.

QM Note: Assume your first step/move is forward onto the ice, for picture purposes I had to photograph the Heroica character a few steps back. Everyone can feel free to PM me the solution at any point (no time limit, I'm starting to see how this may be too difficult of a puzzle) I'll continue the quest in about 6 hrs.

Chosen Heroes for Quest #157: Hoke Ablesword Lv 56.6 Paragon (UsernameMDM) *Party Leader* Torald Waruelf Lv 12.5 Barbarian (Alfadas) Throlar Wineghilm Lv 17.5 Warden (Lord Duvors) Ezeran Yavarr Lv 20.33 Sorcerer (MysticModulus) The Demon Germ Lv 20.33 Black Knight (samuraiturtle)

QM Note: Correct, try starting on this scene.

QM Note: 1 stud per rise/fall. Hint, don't go on the first scene.

QM Note: I'm going to go ahead and extend the deadline by another 24hrs, this one might be a little more difficult than I first anticipated, as another hint the repeat pattern is every 10 rises/sinks.

QM Note: So possible solution formats would be Up, Up, Up, Right, Pause, Left, Right, Left, Down, Down = ^,^,^,>,-,<,>,<,V, V = Up 3, Right, Pause, Left, Right, Left, Down 2 There is only one solution, and since 1 space of movement = 1 rise/fall of the ice, location isn't really necessary. Hint: There is a pattern to the rise and flow.

Off through the night our heroes did track Cross wind swept plains, no haste did they lack. Their way was assured, good pace did they make When right in their path stretched a lone frozen lake. QM Note: The goal is to cross the lake from one side to the other. As you can see the ice sinks and rises from the lake and each step the heroes take corresponds to a single rise and fall of the ice. PM the solution within the next 25 hrs however you wish, up, left right, etc. or ^, >, V, < up to you. Those with the correct solution will receive a level of experience.

Whether the ruby is in the armor or the shield the result is the same. I'd rule you can attain "Fire Immunity" if you were to have a ruby embeded in both your shield and the armor.

"Gentlemen, if you'll excuse us, it's getting a little late and almost past Lindy's bedtime." "Well heroes, off into the night or do you have other plans?"

"Pretty much every house in town has had presents show up." At this point Lindy hands a piece of parchment to Vindsval. "Here I drew a picture of the greenie."

Zepher, JimBee, or Sandy are free to disagree/correct me, I would rule that a Ruby would counteract the shield's weakness however it would not provide "Immunity to Fire".

"Not all of them have been stolen, the intruder doesn't seem to have a method as of yet, but he has struck several times. Lindy here just happens to have been the only one who saw him up close."

Boris hefted the weapon, "This thing has got gems in it, so it definitely worth more than two smelling salts. Let me know if you're still interested." "Believe me by the time the Paladin order got organized this place would be long empty. Besides, that bandit leader left us for dead, we should at least have some sort of drop on him. We'll continue to the upper level." Boris downed one of the smelling salts from Samantha.

"That's right, I'm not aware of any being stolen since then." "Not at all. But all the houses have had them and no one seems to know who's giving them. But the children adore them and they are some of the finest handiwork we've ever seen. Someone truly is embodying the spirit of old Grog the Red."

"Well it showed up out of nowhere! And when you wound it up it would run in a circle!" Lindy pauses a moment to think, "After I saw him heading for the mountain I came back inside because it was cold, but there were these big shadow I saw that was following him." Matthias notice a lot of soot in the chimney and figures a person his size could probably squeeze through the flue, but just barely. The remaining presents are wrapped and seemed to be labeled from Lindy's mother and father. "Well no, but you know how children can be... besides there's all this business of magical presents appearing, showing everybody up. My wife and I put a good amount of thought into those presents, but all the little tikes are in awe of all these mechanical trinkets." "Ooo yes, I've got a turtle, watch he'll stick his head in his shell! Oh and the song bird will sing every hour! Oh and these little soldiers will march in place if you wind them up! They're such magical presents and they all just appeared! But why did he take my Unicorn?" The little girl demonstrates each of the wind-up toys, before sitting down and sniffling over her lost toy. Lindy smiles at the Paladin. "Oh OK. You're nice people."

"We'd best be going then." Boris offers an arm to Samantha in the event that she needs extra support. "Anybody interested in this mace?" Loot Cedric: Shovel, Smelling Salt x2, Potion, Bone, Orc Sword, Spear Addok-Zo: 10 Gold, Leather Armor, Mead, Potion, Bone, Skeleton Decoy Boris: Bone, Blackstone Mace of Muck

"I saw him a couple nights ago. I was laying asleep in bed when I heard some rustling downstairs. I tiptoed down the stairs and there he was, stuffing my unicorn into a big ol' sack. I followed him outside and saw him head west to the mountains." Little Lindy ducked out from behind her mother's dress. "Gee, thanks mister! I'll add it to my other presents. They're not as neat as my Unicorn, but they're better than nothing." "Don't know, Lindy probably just lost it. She's probably just trying to get attention. The rest of her toys are over there..." Lindy's father points toward the fireplace.

OoC: Thanks for pointing that out. Boris decides to swing at First from the back twice.

QM Note: Everything should be all set, let me know if there's any issues. Samuraiturtle, I'm afraid you can't trade in the mushroom. Thanks to everyone for sticking through this, it was quite a long run and you did a good job going as far as you did.
