"<No I don't have a snack, but you have a crate of carrots next to you, I can't imagine what kind of snack you'd want otherwise. We're lookin' for a girl that looks exactly like these other ones. I don't exactly expect anythin' helpin' us there, but maybe ya' saw her when she was brought here? Did ya' catch anyone castin' a spell of some kind on her?>" he asked diplomatically. Atramor turned to the woman feeding the rabbits. "Aye, why?"

Awesome. :sweet: Those tentacles are spot-on.

No.

I mentioned I had forgotten and edited it in the topic.

"Any law a king or lord passes is going to be as moral to somebody as it is immoral to somebody else. If you're tryin' to be fair to everyone, well, that's a game ya' can't win." Atramor pulled on Sylvania's Cowl and turned to the rabbits. "<Hey mates. I don't s'pose ya've seen anythin' outta the ordinary 'round here?>"

Basically? Because zombie.

Yeah, but it's not because of the party's power level or their build or whatever. It's just a 'gimme' battle. Wasn't there a big deal about that in Quest 7? I always challenge my Questies, personally.

That players are too reliant on consumables?

"At least one of 'em is, and seein' as how almost all of them seem to be clones of her....these are just morals, mate, far as I'm concerned politics are pretty much independent of those." "Maxis, can ya' tell if the bathwater has anythin' to do with it? Maybe it's what changes them?"

"Better a slaughterhouse than a slave pen." Atramor grumbled as he picked up one of the apples and cut it open, checking to see if it smelled off in any way.

"I think maybe we should have a...word, with the manager."

I'll edit Posco's defense. I'm not running the song like that. Guardian Angel would protect you. Its level is supposed to 50. And I forgot to make the Abomination immune to instant kill, sorry. "The time for negotiation has passed, demonling. You have murdered our creators, our brothers, and now you have ruined those who have yet to taste life. For this you must suffer." "Ignorance. This was a place of learning once. You have turned it to a place of sorrow."

You should consider scaling ether cost to the number of target it affects, like the Arc Scrolls.

Her hood was black, I think. Also, I don't think she got a grave.

I can't remember it if he has, but you're probably right.

Spoken like a true witch.

Minstrels aren't included in the battle order while singing. I also was unsure if Grim Reaper wakes up enemies or not, but since it doesn't deal weapon effects, I don't think it's an outright attack, so I don't think it does. I accidentally listed Moon Elf D as E also. So there's still one more that you just passed, sorry. Round Three of Observatory Battle Melvin sings Nanny's Lullaby - (-1 ether, all enemies asleep) >Jeaux uses remedy on Posco >Jeaux uses remedy on Soryx >Eva heals Melvin - Heal Less Heal Less (-1 ether, 17 health restored) >Em attacks Gnome F - Shield Special Damage: Underhanded (No effect, asleep) Soryx attacks Gnome E - Hit (45 x 2 x 3 = 270 damage, Gnome E awakened) Wally attacks Gnome A - Special Damage: Underhanded (No effect, asleep) Posco attacks Shade A - Lethal Critical Hit Shield: Grim Reaper (Gnome D assassinated, gnomes and elves fragile, 90 gold stolen) Posco attacks Shade A - Damage Damage (50 - 5 = 45 damage) Pretzel moves to Junction Q Hybros moves to Junction Q Pretzel attacks Moon Elf E - Special Guard Critical Hit (49 x 2 x 2 - 5 = 191 x 2 = 382 damage, Moon Elf E KO'd) Hybros destroys AIUPIIUP Shades B and C move to Junction I Moon Elf D moves to Junction Q Abomination and Crippled Shade D spawn at Junction Q Gnome A poisoned by 1 x 2 = 2 Gnome C poisoned by 10 x 2 = 20 Jeaux hurries to remedy his heavy hitters as Melvin kazoos the enemies to sleep. Soryx and Posco deal some hits, while Wally and Em stick back and Eva heals Melvin. Posco takes a swipe from the shade. The other two seem to divert from them, instead headed for Hybros and Pretzel. Pretzel whirls his staff over his head and blows apart the moon elf as Hybros raises his sword. With one sweep, the AIUPIIUP smashes against the enchanted mirror behind it, crumpling to the floor in a broken heap. He raises his sword again to finish the job, only for the lens to explode, bits of glass flying outward from the device. The broken pieces warp and shift, as the inky black substance the shades are comprised of pours forth, swirling around the machine and giving it new form as a shadowy abomination of machine and darkness. "Why have you done this?" it questions in the common tongue, in a twisted, metallic-sounding voice laced with the chilling tone of the shades. "Why have you sought to destroy us? Our creators? Our kin? You reclaim what is yours, yet you persist to destroy my unborn spawn and annihilate my species?" What once appeared to be the lens of the AIUPIIUP, now glassless and comprising the 'head' of this monster, spewed more of the impossibly black substance onto the ground. It rapidly took form as a shade - but a weaker one. Imperfect. Damaged. It gazed down at itself in horror. The Abomination turned from it to Hybros and Pretzel. "Look on what you have wrought, monsters. If death is indeed your language, let us speak it to you that you may taste our sorrow."
