Waterbrick Down

Grishnod steps out from behind one of the columns, it seems the rest of the circus stayed outside the palace. The orc addresses the heroes. "And what's to stop my daughter and my people from slaughtering you all here and now? You're in no place to make demands. I'll thank you for the transportation, but this is war and I made no request to be rescued, come to think of it, it was more like stepping from one pair of chains into another. We need Valentino here, it is the only thing buying us time to deal with the bridge." Grishnod nods to his daughter, "Bastala. Good to see you're doing well. Love how you've redecorated the city with plenty of foreigners but we can discuss that matter at another time."

And this is why we need to update the arena... at least a little.

Both contestants enter the arena and the starting bell soon rings. Round 1 of Arthur vs. Sarge: >Arthur casts Scroll of Poisoning on Zoot's Rebel - Success (Weapon envenomed for 10 Poison, -5 ether) >Arthur (physical, Zoot's Rebel) vs. Sarge - Damage (19/2-20= 0 Damage) Sarge vs. Arthur (Demonic Scissors) - Shield {(19x3/2-20= 8 Damage)x2 hits=16 Damage} Sarge vs. Arthur (Demonic Scissors) - Special Damage {(20x2-14=26 Damage)x6 hits=156 Damage, KO'd} In a flurry of spell flinging and scissor slicing, the fight is over as almost as soon as it had begun.

Skrall steps back unscathed as the angel stymes the oncoming mob. "Like I said, he's handy." Skrall jammed another bolt into his crossbow before taking aim at the leader again from the back row.

Skrall fires off another shot at the Leader from the back row while dodging about. "Ah, our help from heaven arrives once more. You should keep him around more often, Boomingham."

"Nice little party we've got here." Skrall loads a bolt into his crossbow and takes aim at the leader from the back row.

It get's tricky because while you can compensate for one hero by increasing say an enemy's health, if that hero goes down or instead decides to focus on picking off all the lower health enemies then it becomes a problem for the rest of the party who don't have such high WP. Honestly the same argument could be said about SP.

People have differing opinion on revivals and play styles, that's all. We've known this in the past. Some things could have been done to mitigate the situation in the battle, but weren't so hopefully it'll serve as a learning experience to all.

We've had this discussion earlier when it came to lower level heroes being KO'd, most party members don't feel it's a good enough investment or think they'll save the essences till when they are absolutely necessary.

Skrall tossed a smoke bomb up to Boomingham.

Edit: Redacted statement.

Then you are a more generous player than some.

As the fellow QM in the matter, I see it as a point to not interfere if the character is going to be selfish. Gut's did state in bold that he was not sharing the loot, if that turns to the party beating his character over the head on purpose next battle or in some other way alienating his character from everybody else, that's his fault. I'll say it maybe in rather bad form to insist as a player someone revive you, especially when there are other characters who also were KO'd and were not begging to be revived, but if it's consistent to the character...

Skrall holds the ladder up and lets the other heroes clamber over him. Once they've gained access to the top of the window he mentions, "Perhaps a smoke bomb or two to cover yer entrance?"

Quivers are backwear as are the travelling cloaks.

"Quite understood. Anyone ever here of the legendary ogre ninjas?"

"Perhaps a Garnet or some other sort of magic spell might be useful." The ogre shrugged.

"I can always hold the ladder up."

Skrall flipped the man 10 Gold. "Now make yerself scarce."

Skrall addressed the man. "Well I was gonna be reasonable and ask how much a sight seein' tour of the insides of this buildin' cost, but the little lady seems to have jumped right to the point. Unless of course yer willin' to ask a reasonable sum..."

"One last thing before we head out, any idea what official we need to be seein' about leavin' the city and why in the world we need to be gettin' official permission? Keeping folks from enterin' I can understand, but leavin'?"

There is no set rule and is slightly dependent on QM. Generally a player will designate another player (most of the time the Party Leader) to act for them should they think they will be inactive. A note was posted in one of the earlier rounds that rounds would be run every 24 hrs and for players to designate someone to decide on actions for their character if they thought they would be unable to post in that allotted time.

If one starts out with great Hinckwell reputation and then gains Shadeux reputation, one could essentially have a good reputation with both concurrently though.

I think a bit of the lack of expert classes has to do with house reputation. While a good number of heroes have access to at least one expert class (32 heroes currently), there hasn't been much opportunity to change that, not to mention quite a few of those expert classes were given as rewards for a single quest as opposed to the 2 or sometimes 3 required for the normal expert classes. If we look at the past 25 quests, only 5 of them have had house reputation attached to them as a reward. That's only 20%. Thus when you've gained access to one of the expert classes, it's really difficult to change or even gain access to one whose house is not in opposition to your first accessible class. Granted some quests do offer unadvertised reputation during the middle of quests, but most folks don't sign-up for a quest if they're aiming for a certain reputation on the chance that they might obtain some unadvertised reputation that might be of the house they wanted.
