Good shot Matthias. Now that Valentine is fragile, does someone else want to take him and I can put this sword of light to use against the darkness? Nerwen v. Master Chaos Beast -sword

Nerwen swings the mace again. I shall heal you shortly Master Ecksecks. Nerwen v. Valentine - mourning star

Nerwen v. Valentine -mourning star Everything breaks, everything fails, everything dies. That is the way of the world. But there is rebirth, redemption, resurrection. That too is the way of the world.

Nerwen draws her sword. She hums a note in tune with the gem embedded in the pommel and it begins to glow with a clear light. She speaks not the piteous figure before them but to her party. His equivalences are short sighted and naïve. Death is not the end. Death is not always darkness, darkness is not always evil, evil is not always chaotic. Chaos will not cleanse the island, for when Chaos comes fully, there will be no island, no sea, no world. No darkness nor light. No evil nor good and certainly no chaomancers surviving to witness the result of their folly. I say there are gods. I stand in their power. I say there is good. It is the will of those gods that we achieve by our actions. I say there is hope. The gods yet speak and make their will known. What say you? Do you stand with me against that which would not simply kill you but annihilate you utterly.? Nerwen lunges forward to strike at the chaomancer.

Nerwen's voice is firm. Does one pour poison in a wound to cure it? Throw naphtha on a fire to put it out? Tear down a house to fix it's door? The ills of the world are obvious and not in dispute. Your solution is no solution though. Chaos will devour evil, true, but it will swallow good as well, overturn order and leave nothing but undifferentiated nothingness. Your cure is far worse than any plague caused by the brawling of mortals, invoking as it does the immortal powers who surround the world. Abjure your course, cease your foolishness, you will have no joy trying to dissuade me, servant as I am of Ennoc, of Galadrya and Celeborn and of all the gods.

Nerwen spreads her hands, palm up. Good and evil we can deal with. They are each reasonable, comprehensible. These chaos things are other. They are the negation of both good and evil. There is nothing to be negotiating with things that do not understand negotiation. You are right, they do not speak evil. But do not think that means that they are good.

Nerwen speaks quietly. The man is incoherent. Arguing with him will not change his actions and only frustrate you. Let us end him and move on.

Nerwen waits for Purpearl's questions to be answered. While she waits she speaks to Pigley and Ruffers How do you fare Sir Pigley? We have travelled far and fought some frankly scary enemies.

Nerwen finishes cleaning the black stain from her blade and rasps a stone along its edge sharpening it. She heals XX and says. If there are more of those things out there, if there is someone making them, they need to be stopped. And if it is Chauncey trying to delay us, so much the better.

Nerwen speaks to the minstrel. Thank you for your assistance. We were lucky to meet each other on the road. I am sorry you did not have much to do Matthias.

Nerwen nods in greeting at Seraphiel before raising her sword and pointing it at the chaos beast. Kill it. Nerwen v Beast - sword

If it's me we're waiting for, sorry! Nerwen continues slicing the chaos beast. Nerwen vs Beast -sword

231 damage? That's got to be a record for Nerwen. The first x2 is for light elemental weapon, but what's the second for? Also, Was a second roll for Lucky made? I don't see it noted. Lucky chant costs 3 ether not 10. In the special, is it bleeding -3? (Since that's what it would have been when the MCB first appeared) Alexis, you have fought these things before? Is it supposed to be bleeding like that? Lady Purpearl, the effects of our silver tonged friend's songs only last while he sings them. And it would be better to remain lucky than to give this thing a second chance to strike back, especially if it is lucky itself this round. I do not think is chant is as exhausting as it seems at first. if it is ok with the others, you could probably auto roll until an angel appears, special damage rolls 5 or 6 happen or it dies.

Nerwen looks back over her shoulder at Purpearl and winks. You can dance with the next one.

I meant the hand as a 'stop' not as a 'I want to speak' motion. Nerwen hefts her shield and steps forward. Ready.

Nerwen holds her hand up. Perhaps there is a simpler way to do this. Alexis, you have demon repellant. If you use it on me, it cannot hurt me and is less likely to inflict bleeding or blunt my weapon since I can special guard. If Seraphiel appears, everyone can weigh in, otherwise I can just stand it off until it falls. Nerwen's suggested battle order Alexis v. Nerwen - demon repellant Malty v. Party - Lucky Chant Nerwen v. Master Chaos Beast - sword of the warrior of light Purpearl -nothing Matthias -nothing Matthias -nothing Russel and Sir Pigley -nothing Russel and Sir Pigley -nothing XX -nothing Note: about PPJB's plan above, MCB is immune to enamoured (immune to all negative effects)

Indeed, I would be happy to hear the tale, perhaps even learn the tune, we will have a little time on the road I think.

Nerwen smiles in greeting at the minstrel. Stars shine our meeting Naster Malty. that is a pleasant tune you are playing. What is it called?

Nerwen hands her bedroll to Russel and Sir Pigley. You look like you could use this more than I. She then drinks a tonic. I will take the first watch.

Nerwen nods. Rest would be good. Besides, we might report to the Hinkwells that they are cleared of the warehouse thefts.

Nerwen speaks diplomatically. You have my word as a paladin, may His justice fall in me if I break it. Tell us what we need to know and we will cease attacking you. You may flee the battle and leave your guards to distract us. We will have no reason to pursue you and you keep your life.

Restored to health, Nerwen turns her attention to the newcomer. Rather than engage in conversation, she swings her mace. Nerwen v. Armoured reaper - mourning star

If Special guard didn't work because it's damage, not an effect, then the shield should apply? Nerwen drinks an elixir. Nerwen v. self -elixir

Special guard! Orcish barbed shield! (if it applies!) Nerwen staggers as her blood is chilled by the breath of the undead.

The other thing is that, as long as you keep the weapon's stats(including it's weapon class), it's in game description is mutable. So if you find a lovely throwing weapon, say Wicked Javelin (WP: 7, throwing weapon, retreivable, 1/6 chance to slow) Then with a little hand waving Ethereal Deck(Playing Cards) (WP:3, throwing weapon) Wicked Javelin (WP: 7, throwing weapon, retreivable, 1/6 chance to slow) Becomes Ethereal Deck(Playing Cards) (WP: 7, throwing weapon, retreivable, 1/6 chance to slow) Wicked Javelin (WP:3, throwing weapon) Probably best to do it in the marketplace topic and keep a record of the post where you did it so if anyone asks you're above board.
