Hybros scooped up the rings. x2 Gold Rings (Worth 15 gold; can be given to someone to make them enamored with the giver) "Not long. I work as your organization does, though I often seek jobs out myself. The Baron believes there is something corrupt behind the disappearances. I think he may be right. If any man is skilled enough to pull all of this off without being seen or leaving any trace at all, I doubt they would be down here simply terrorizing an enclave of gnomes. There is something magical at work here. I know it."

Soryx peered at Hybros through his hooded yellow eyes, and silently nodded. The Baron frowned at the smelly fly flitting around his hat. "That will do, I suppose. Best of luck to you, heroes." The party sets out for Shelby's store.

The shop isn't far off from the administration building. It's oddly dark when they get inside, however.

Yes.

"They're not going to sit back and wait for us to finish with the High Kingdoms. If we don't hold them back on two different fronts, we'll soon be cornered on both sides at once."

"We were supposed to be securing the watchtower. When the orcs hit the heroes on the west border and Tarvalk sees that's not the case, he'll probably assume we died trying to take it and order his men to simply kill everyone in sight. The grunts don't even know what we look like."

"We're not going to be able to push through either army. The bridge's chokepoint offers us the only chance we have."

Olmstyr scratched his head. "I don't think we'll be able to hold off the orcs at this rate. I wouldn't be opposed to them seizing the bridge, obviously, but it'll put us in one hell of a difficult situation once they get behind us."

Yeah. Probably best to save them until the heroes start getting pushed back.

"Perhaps I should stay with the Baron? I doubt this culprit will feel as threatened with only one man protecting them, but I may be able to hold them off long enough for you to arrive if they try anything." "The timing has been mostly random, monk. The number of people vanishing at once has been increasing, however. They've probably just gotten more confident over time. First disappearance was one week ago."

The other option was staying quiet and let you suffer the consequences instead.

No, we've had our bases covered for this battle long in advance. No twisting, just one big assumption on your part that may not go as well you think.

I know. I meant that if I'm right, then your plan is going to fail in the most spectacularly hilarious way.

I'm waiting for Zepher's say so on this, I'm unsure. I don't think Hewaryt's a combatant but Gocklo may be.

I hope you're not doing what WBD and I think you're doing or this is going to turn out to be the most hilarious thing ever.

Yes. You have to be in the section you threw them to in order to retrieve them. You won't know how many reinforcements there are. Hoke's flagpole only affects heroes in his current section, and the same goes for all area of effect attacks, IE, Magic Burst will only affect the section of enemies you're targeting, and Blood Ritual will only heals allies in the same section as the Shaman. Yes. A section is only considered occupied if there are enemies in it and no heroes. In that scenario the orcs would be considered victorious because they control the tower when the heroes are overrun. The bridge would not collapse, but only the orcs heroes would be victorious.

Each side has a set (but hidden) number of reinforcements they will spawn. Ideally they wear down each enemy until they run out of reinforcements, keeping the sides balanced.

The heads.

So that's Guts, Haldor, Dyric, Thormanil, Alexandre, Purpearl, Dreyrugr, Baradock, Matthias, Benji, Tesni, and I'll assume Cinna and Alexis because of majorities in their party for the orcs, Hoke, Nerwen, and I'll assume Jess because of tied majority and being initially hired by the Kingdoms for the Kingdoms. Guts is the party leader. The heroes have chosen their sides. On the opposite banks, disturbances seem to be building in the opposing armies. The time for attack is near. "We don't have much time." "No....I think Mister Ablesword has a good point. If we divide our forces equally as possible, we may have a chance to hold back both opposing armies. But who will go where?" BATTLE OF AUGUSTUS BRIDGE The heroes may station themselves on any one of the five main inner sections of the bridge at the start of the battle, but then it takes one round to travel from one section to another - this goes for enemies as well. Heroes can fight any adjacent force from the front row. Ranged fighters can fire across one area to attack an area two sections away, and take damage from the back row. This means melee heroes cannot outright fight from the back row. They can still retreat to the back row to heal themselves or throw bombs from the back row. Clerics can only heal heroes in the same section as them, and items can only be used on other heroes if they are in the same section. Each hero gets to decide where they start, barring the Kingdom and Orc territories. Orc Territory (Cannot be moved into, orc spawn here) Western Border Western Front Central Watchtower Eastern Front Eastern Border Kingdoms Territory (Cannot be moved into, Kingdoms spawn here) Each enemy side begins with ten units in their territory. They will automatically spawn a new enemy at the end of each round, in addition to replacing any deceased ones, in their territory. If there are no standing heroes in the adjacent section, enemies will move forward a section instead of dealing free hits. The battle ends either when the two opposing sides overrun the heroes and meet eachother, when one side has been run out of reinforcements and the other overruns the heroes, or when both sides run out of their set number of reinforcements. If the former takes place, the side that currently has control of the central watchtower will be considered victorious, and overrun the bridge. However, if neither side has control of the tower, and all the heroes are knocked out, they will clash inside the central watchtower, and the bridge will collapse. The heroes fighting for the High Kingdoms will be considered victorious if the High Kingdoms soldiers overrun the bridge. The heroes fighting for the orcs will be considered victorious if the orcs overrun the bridge. Both sides will be considered victorious if both enemies run out of reinforcements.

Ask questions if necessary. We need to adhere to a strict 24 hour rule here because of how many heroes we have. If someone doesn't post an action before then, the party leader should suggest an action for them. You've got around 24 hours for last minute and preparations and to choose a section to start off on.

Everyone who has chosen a sided is aligned with the orcs. Potentially both, depending on how the battle goes. Once again, everyone needs to have a side before the mechanics can be explained. "We're going to need to decide on a party leader as well."

Again, everyone needs to choose their side beforehand. Everyone but Dyric is with the orcs currently.

Can't really walk past an army that wants to make you fail your Quest, then.

"Only a full-scale fight between the two armies inside the tower will collapse the bridge." We're 10/16 heroes decided now, just waiting on you, Masked, Darkdragon, swils, Sisco, and Peppermint M, then we can get into the mechanics of the battle.

It doesn't sound like a DLC or exclusive character or anything. Traditionally in LEGO games all the regular in-game characters have codes you can just look up online to unlock.

Can you at least contain your complete and utter dissatisfaction with everything everyone does to your own Quest where it's almost relevant?

Can't really walk past an army that wants to kill you.
