Miderun held up one finger for a moment and didn't look up, ignoring Bobby for nearly half a minute while she finished reading her sentence and then closed the book. "What? Oh, I have no idea. Mauwalt Scheherazade says the Bonapartes are the dominant military force on the Crystalline Sea. Mougauno, the ocean conquerors. That makes sense, I remember they're the ones who kept Tarok's forces out of Eubric. They must be very powerful. The Ji Pei are supposedly a mystery and come from Xu far away. There are creatures called aoi living there, and she says they build fantastic machines and travel in airships over both land and sea." "It all kind of puts rescuing a berry farm in perspective. They both sound more heroic, in any case."

Fair point. I bet good money the aoi already have starships.

< This is how I feel about the fate of Olegaia

Oops. What a terrible accidental situation. I guess we'll have to wait until one of these damn* parties returns to the hall with heroes who have preferences to which quest they go out on... I'm more interested in the Decamon Tournament though, which leads me to wonder if it's something heroes even on quests can take part in or if it's for heroes in the hall only. The thing is, if you have to buy Decamon cards in booster packs like you suggested earlier (and like every card game that I'm aware of does), then heroes on quests wouldn't have the opportunity to participate anyway.

No.

Zakura I suppose.

I think you mean to say you four DAMN Heroica badasses and those two Lion NPCs. If Kadarphazan and Shawe want to jump in we're always looking for more meatshields though. "Aye. Maybe if we've got his head the Pogs can get it through their thick skulls that they're gonna die and there's nothin' they can do about it." Luke remedies Dyric as Kniveton follows Atramor against Indiacca, all from the back row. Same Order

Oh. That's a bad situation, then. Heckz and Eric could always bail. What's funny, is that's not even hypothetical. I could absolutely see them leaving Althior behind to die.

I don't believe having everyone conscious is a prerequisite for the party fleeing, is it?

Kharad looks unsuredly at Natnail, and shrugs. "....if you say so."

Well, if she's confronting people by smashing their faces into things....

Miderun looked up briefly from the book she pored over to sign up for Quests #119 and #120. She then returned her table, staring down at an open page well-near the end of the book with a fierce determination at the completely stationary words that threatened to drive her into insanity.

Atramor's calculating mind kicked in: realizing the threat, he inhaled some Smelling Salts, slurped down a Mulled Wine, and then finally lobbed his Agni Bomb from the back row. He also swapped the Pheles Kris for the Tiger Claws. "Luke, stay in the back and heal whoever is at lowest health. Kniveton, stay in the back. Everyone, focus on the Sharpshooter, and of course switch to the Warlock when he's down. Namyrra, if ya' wanna try and make these bastards fragile, that'd help."

"Gaah!" The leprauchan stumbled off his stool, clutching his bleeding nose. The rabbit-eared woman behind the bar snickered loudly. The woman dressed up as an invader merely sipped her drink and watched casually as he pushed himself upright and got up into Kiray's face as best he could given he was about half her height. "You 'orsehaired bitch, you'll pay for thah! Camma!" He wheeled towards the thug slug mistress. "Get this woman out of 'ere 'fore I show 'er 'ow a leprechaun fights dirty!" "Fft. You know I don't tolerate such foolishness in my bar, Boris. Unluckily for you, those who don't pay for their drinks don't get to enjoy the luxury of keeping their megablocks from getting reamed by Heroica." Camorea crossed her stubby arms. "For your sake, I hope you fight well drunk." The leprechaun - Boris - swore furiously and grabbed one of his bottles to swing at Kiray. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Yes. Assuming it's a purely ethereal enemy. If not, then assume all elements are simply ineffective against it much as fire damage is ineffective against fiery enemies. Using a light-elemental weapon on an Ethereal Demon, for example, would cause regular damage. No. Counterstriking has nothing to do with equipped weapons.
