The regulator sighs, cursing under his breath as he moves to the window and attempts to pop it out of its frame, or if that fails, to cut a hole in the lattice.

Atramor pushes the door open.

Atramor raises a finger to his mouth to get the rest of the party to shut the hell up for the time being, quietly moving towards the door leading to the library.

I had Silver when I was too young to have any idea what I was doing, but I don't doubt that's why I stopped playing it. I have distant memories of FFVII, but that's about it. I plan to start getting Zelda now that I've got a 3DS. Video games are by far the biggest inspiration for me in designing quests, though.

We already have our Giant Death Robots, three Factories ain't much of a stretch.

The famous playwrights of Brobric far exceed R'klif's cultural output, though. Eubric's Freedom ideology is in a state of Civil Resistance as a result. All they can do is ensure access to the luxury resources of Dastan and the High Kingdoms to offset the happiness penalty. The costs keep increasing, however, and soon they won't be able to afford to keep the happiness of its people in check, destroying the morale of its Bonaparte navy and crippling their production and growth for the rest of the Medieval era. And now for whatever reason Eubric's people are worshiping the Pongcanis pantheon so now you have to spend all your well-earned faith on pagodas and mosques.

I'm pretty sure that's racist against elves. No wonder Eubric is such a mess. With crap like this, social policy costs must be through the roof. I'm glad to see some fresh blood in the world of QMing. We could always use more.

Traumatic flashbacks to the eighth Gym Leader in Pokemon Sapphire. Atramor follows Pretzel's lead.

"No, but I'll hand ya' over to the nine foot tall ogre whose stuff this is."

"This is Skrall's stuff." Atramor grumbles and shuts the door. "So we're essentially rummagin' through random bags until we find this Librarian. We're not gonna get far unless we have our gear with us, so how about ya' lead us to the library? It should be down the secondary hall, aye? Think I saw a frozen corpse in there, but I could be wrong...this place confuses the hell outta me."

"Quit complainin', Ratabor. I'm sure we can all handle this crap." "Are you sayin' ya' can bring us to our stuff, then? I assumed that giant door was locked. If it ain't, just lead the way."

They both remind me too much of The Phantom Menace to be pleasing to the eye.

Atramor pulled out his shield once again, and reached for his kris, before realizing McCafferey was no longer on his shoulder. Come to think of it, she hadn't been there since they'd gone through the portal. The regulator frowned slightly, then shook his head. He didn't need her whispering into his ear to tell him what to do. He'd come too far for that. That should've merged. Oh well.

"Now that we know what's in those tunnels, I don't see much of a point to splittin' up. We'll all head into the secondary hallway, if nobody has any more questions for U'Reek." Atramor turned to the U'Kin. "I s'pose you'll be stayiin' here?"

As long as you have the cool hat nobody will question your skills as a pirate.

"That's the only way in and out of here? How the hell did Greenhat get his message out, then?"

"And the giant blue door?"

It's in reference to the goddess of death in Heroica, Helvetia.

"Well, they didn't do a very good job. Ya' work here, aye? Can ya' give us an idea of the layout of this building?"

"You're saying that whenever we put somethin' into our bag it just...appears here?" Atramor blinked. He'd never really considered how some heroes carried so much stuff with them. "And now the overseer of all this, this Green Necromancer guy. He's lost control of the undead guards. He got a message into the hands of anyone in Eubric who uses these bags, which I guess includes Paladins, which explains why they came here. Is that all right?"

I've brought it up before, but it's a real shame how Expert Class availability is so narrow. I'm taking the hint as a good sign that Winged Warrior will become available for a second time in the future, which is awesome. I'm determined to host at least three Quests that offer Marauder. Infiltrator will be offered when Strivvi is concluded I assume. How about Skirmisher, Harlot, and Regulator?

"What the hell does any of that mean?? Why's this plane here and what's its purpose?"

Miderun had some trouble following Scheherazade's explanation - detailed to a fault - but managed to keep most of it in mind, running through it all mentally even as the saloon's owner went to go chase off a rooster she found vaguely familiar. "Thank you for the drink and information, Mauwalt Scheherazade." With a shrug, she excused herself and walked to the Quest board, where evidently heroes got their assignments. She could hardly read Common, but got the gist of what was asked, scrawling her name underneath Quest 109 before returning to the bar, her heavily bandaged fingers again gripping a drink. "Fewer people here than I thought." Her voice trailed off as a trio of figures entered the hall, then went their separate ways.

"Now hold on a minute. Who the hell runs this place and why are you feedin' a horde of undead?" Atramor doesn't lower his weapon so much as an inch.
