It's not even as good as the regular Ranger's Quiver. It's just vendor trash, I'd sell it. Too bad Doc coneys all the realism of an RPG.

Atramor followed the others back into the hall tiredly. Quests were starting to seem less and less like victories, even if he knew they were for the best. He...enjoyed killing those Pongcanae. He couldn't deny that. But seeing the Dread Pirate escape...it was as cowardly as...well. The last time he'd encountered Pongcanae. He took his scrolls back from Namyrra and shoved a stack of shields onto Pretzel's table before heading over to the Quest Board. Bonapartes. And Ji Pei? He scribbled his name down under Quest #120. It only felt appropriate. He had of course altered the course of the whole damn country. The regulator slunk into a random chair, looking off towards the interior of the saloon as McCafferey scavenged for crumbs off the nearby tabletop - the remains of a meal the young orc girl sitting on the other side of the table had finished, her eyes glued to the book in front of her.

I enjoyed the quest. It was fun, short, and battle-focused, and I loved all the X-COM callouts. The color-coding was unique, and it worked well. After some initial fuzziness the rules weren't hard to grasp. The story was super minimal and I kind of question the inclusion of the other characters in the first place. They never really did anything until one of them got killed. Congrats.

DAMN Heroica badass - Well, what other context do you need. From Brickdoctor.

Reg looked up from his spot leaning against the upper deck of the Magpie and nodded. "Always ready Kiray. But after seeing and hearing all this crap about the monster, I'm not sure if we can be ready for this battle. Still, the Wolfgang aren't the opportunistic cowards most of your organization seems to think. We'll kill that thing or die trying." Briar, pacing near the bow of the ship, nearly jumps when Francis speaks to him. "What?! Oh, yeah. I mean, no. I mean, I'm sure we'll all be okay, but, no, I'm not looking forward to it. I'm not ready to die, man."

The party returned, empowered, to port. They were now a strong, if motley, sort. Each member came aboard a small white ship. The sea fiend's fate was almost within grip. The Magpie sailed out into the setting sun. Clouds swept together overhead, casting a dim shadow over the ship, its crew, and the party. Captain Illdria ascended the steps to the helm, and sailed off south: towards the monster's preferred hunting ground. A strange assortment of people milled around the ship. Her crew appeared even more ragtag than the party. "It won't be long before we arrive. This is going to be a tough fight. I recommend getting as ready as possible. We only get one shot at this. If you want to say any last- I mean, if you want to chat, we've got nothing better to do."

If I had to guess, I'd say they went on some quests and levelled up. Update incoming for Quest #114. I knew I'd have to rebuild the set I've been slowly cannibalizing but it needed to be cleaned too, it looks like.

"Ya' can use anything, Pretzel. The cloak's only suitable for a few people and Namyrra ain't one of them."

Loot Dyric - Crossbow of Incessant Warlords, 90 gold Atramor - Bracers of instiable Avarice, 90 gold Monk - Cloak of the Barbaric Runecaster, 90 gold Namyrra - 220 gold Atramor hands out the loot and stares out the window briefly. McCafferey sits on its perch, gazing down at the city idly before turning her head back towards the regulator. He turns and strides back into the interior of the room, merely adjusting the brim of his hat. "Luke, see what ya' can do for Leonard," he commanded. "Dyric, make sure the other corpses are just that - corpses." Atramor walked over to the secondary door and threw it open, checking to see if the Patuqun knights were still alive and had finished their battle.

It's in the animation. Pikmin and Luma don't really have much motion to them but Ice Climbers are two distinct characters. That's why the Assist Trophies and Pokemon run at only 30 FPS.

Still waiting on Actaeon. You're headed to the final battle, we're nearing the end here.

I should have a x8 multiplier on Pongcanis F. Atramor slashes at Berserkers C and A, back row. "Luke, use a Grand Potion on Dyric, back row. Pretzel, Namyrra, take a second to heal yourselves up." Order Atramor Atramor Pretzel Namyrra Luke Dyric

Atramor repeats. Battle Order Atramor Atramor Namyrra Dyric Pretzel Luke

I like it. It's got the look of the original but with the modern structure of the Stars model and the impractical but undeniably cool lava surfboards of Tahu Nuva. I love how the different levels of armoring give each (of the twenty-dollar sets you've reviewed so far anyway) a unique look. Onua has the same bulky hunchbacked look from his original form, Kopaka might not have the classic sword and shield of his but he's heavily armored much like a knight, and Tahu here has a good mix of armor and agility. Does the gearbox do the same thing it did back in the good ol' days? And does it work as well with those odd four-toothed gears (that I've never even associated with gears before? )

Cool. I also think I should be Chaotic, having rolled Internal Conflict last round, but I don't think it affects anything. Atramor nearly buckles as four Pongcanae throw themselves against his shield, but his focus is on Indiacca, narrowing his eyes as the minotaur scampers off after killing Kniveton. "We're not losing that damn cow. Dyric, go get him. Engage if ya' have to, just make sure ya' don't lose him. We'll be there in a second. Luke, heal Pretzel, back row." He pushes the Pongcanae back and swings at Pongcanis F twice from the back row. Battle Order Dyric Atramor Atramor Namyrra Pretzel Luke

I'll give LEGO credit. This might just be the last set I ever expected to be approved.

That's typically what I do too. Notice Lane switched from KotZ's control to Zakura's after KotZ decided to let the Wolfgangers in the party.

Lane nodded to Mizuki and stowed away the bomb. "Appreciate it. Are we done here Kiray? A couple of you looked like you were in the middle of some business. If not, just say the word and we'll go kill us our sea fiend."

The battle's going to end next round when PPJB posts "Purpearl attacks Chauncy, unless Russel has been revived" and Chrome posts "Nerwen revives Russel if Purpearl has attacked Chauncy". Or something to that effect.

Yeah, you may want to fix that. For a minute there I actually thought this town was called Towr...

The lowest level enemy in that group is 31. He's got well over 400 health too. Good luck.

Hmm. I'm unsure now. I don't think this circumstance has occurred since it got nerfed. Beforehand I could use a weapon without aura for my first turn, the round would run normally, and then I could switch to the Pheles Rod and absorb all the free hits. (Reference). I did a bit more looking and this actually has happened in Quest 85. It's each turn that I wield the Kris that I get a chance for aura, it seems. Sorry for all the OOC but if I do have aura I think Dyric might still be up. That's reasonable. I just really don't like the way Smoke Bombs work anymore.

Actually, that's just what happens when Nyx finds out XX is dead.

I thought hastened let me take the first two free hits? Also, my second turn gets a separate Aura roll. And also, if Atramor was to use a Smoke Bomb, would the entire party be forced out of battle? I figure you wouldn't mind because of the freeformative nature of your battles.

Kharad frowns and works out some math in his head. "...Now hold on a minute missy, those numbers don't sound fair at all." "Yer damn right it doesn't," snarled Natnail, standing up and advanced on the party. Illdria rolled her eyes, stepping past the heroes, easily avoiding his drunken punch and responding by swiftly pulling one of his feet out from underneath him and elbowing him in the stomach as he landed flat on his back. Kharad pushed himself up to his feet quickly and Illdria fixed him with a hard look. "One drunk against five hardened combatants. Figure out those numbers and get out of here." "Haw. You have my thanks. I could've had the girls deal with those three idiots, but this way they'll think trouble has passed and they're still welcome to spend all the coin they have here." Madam Camorea took the 32 coins and tucked it into her...coat-looking piece of apparel. Kharad stumbled over Natnail in his haste to leave. "The money is secondary in any case. We're the only real business left in the Hovels. We need to make it very clear Lady Luck's Locale is not to be trifled with. Now Illdy, I'll see what jobs I can scrounge up, but it sounds like these heroes require your services." The captain nodded. "Indeed. I'll tell you what, heroes. I'll halve my fee. 100 coins and my ship and my crew are yours." This means you still have 32 coins to divide, KotZ.
