"There are no right hands for this thing. The Pandemonicons are useless in Azazot, and they clearly need mortals to be used. You're one of them. Who's to say it'll even work for you?" Atramor glared at the scythe in Hybros' hands. Phlegethon and its twin the Pheles Kris might've had a similar effect on him, once. No more. "You're not thinkin' straight, mate. Every one of them in our world is another Azzurat waitin' to happen - another million people waitin' to die for someone's world domination attempt. Sorry, mate, but your people aren't worth that risk."

Atramor stared down at the archdemon playing card in his hand, and then briefly at Baba's corpse, then Catnip's, then finally back at Hybros. "Hell. No." The rogue steps between Althior and Byblos with the Pandemonicons, and Hybros. His mythril claws, moving and shimmering and very alive underneath a fresh coat of black demon's blood, are still in hand. "I appreciate you wantin' to help your people, mate, but look around you. Byblos, Namyrra, back me the hell up here, you both were in Azzurat, you know what these things are capable. I'll take these two back through that damn portal myself if I need to, but they're NOT stayin' in this world, Hybros. Not after all this." Atramor drops his stolen loot in the pile and gives all his gold to Althior.

"Of course. Circumstances are rarely in your favor, are they?" A hint of amusement crept in Soryx' voice. "In any case, it was an honor to fight alongside Heroica once more. "I find Pseudos is not as particular as Ennoc and his ilk. It is a rare honor to meet another of his chosen; perhaps his presence in Olegaia is not as doomed as I had believed. May your blade find peace in the heads of a thousand foes, Lord Boomingham." "I believe so. When this is over, I shall bring word of its banishment to my father. It will ease his mind, if not his body." Tra-Serral frowns. "...I am not used to this. But on behalf of all of Clan Tarokin, and every ancestor that was or will be...thank you, heroes. Irzerkutrah was believed to have stalked my family for well over two centuries. I simply thought it one more burden for our race to bear. One dark secret never brought to light." "It won't be. This is something that will stay between all of us. Even now it's gone, I hesitate to think what the rest of the world would think if they knew..." "Orcs AND demons? There'd be a legion of paladins screaming for our heads!" "And we're finally a truly united race - if the clans learned Tarokai was acting under the influence of that thing-" "Irzerkutrah was a hissing snake. Nothing more. If I could keep it at bay, I have little doubt Tarokai did as well. I do wonder just how it happened...but we have a more immediate concern." "Agreed. To the bridge, then." With the matter of Irzerkutrah settled, and the fourth 'assassin' dealt with, the party left the palace. The streets of Imaestym were finally cooling down as the night rolled in to its darkest. Midnight seemed to be the only thing keeping Baltarok at a reasonable temperature, for the first time since the heroes' visit. Olmstyr and the other Vauno led the heroes out of the city. The baked dirt road was empty. Everyone was comfortable celebrating in their own homes. It came as a slow realization as they trudged onward to the final confrontation with the Wandering Silence: none of the populace would know what they had done today. The assassins were held back with little incident other than the rather 'exclusive' feast...and as they spotted the bridge in the distance, the mural back in the feasting hall came into mind. The battle where Heroica had decided the fate of Baltarok - but only one of the current party members had been present. How much did those they saved really value the hero behind the name? Would the names etched in that stone be remembered for decades to come...or was it merely the ideals of Heroica that carried on through the ages? Heroes wouldn't last forever. Would their ideals stand that test of time? The party finally reached the bridge, as the moon was at its height. "We're here...and at the right time. What was it that assassin told us? Burn the flag... "But which one? I can hardly see anything! How 'bout you, Aazy?" <"....well, umm..."> Daske squinted, and blinked. "Oh." "I...think this might be for you, heroes."

Sorry for the lengthy break. I spent most of my weekend in the closet of a rental home. Update to 150 coming later today.

Atramor slashes Garuda twice with both claws from the front row. If I don't post during the next round JimBee can control my actions.

Sorry for the delay 148/150. We're kind of preparing for the worst here with Hurricane Matthew. I will update as soon as I can.

We update them after every quest now, I'm not sure when the big change happened in relation to when you last played. I also feel like those permanent bonus consumables have gotten a lot rarer recently. In either case, I doubt that +1 will matter all that much anyhow, especially being that it's on ether.

Looks mostly good - that +2 on your power should be +5 because your Anniversary Medal's gotten stronger. I'm not sure where that extra 1 ether is coming from, if it's from a consumable you should note what it is and where it came from. Also, as a Mystic Knight you should pick up a shield. You totally have a shield already. But, since you're over level 20, you're able to equip three artifacts now, so you might want to throw one of your extras on.

I suppose it does. I'm sure we had one before, but it was possibly only on the full editor (rather than a quick reply box at the bottom of the topic's page).

Namyrra was acting in the back row, she should be fine still. Nevermind, I see what happened. Damn. Atramor attacks Marilith and Semyaza from the back row twice unless Marilith is at less than one quarter health, in which case he Decamodifies her from the back row. If he still has a turn remaining he attacks Garuda from the back row with both claws.

The lack of an Undo button is really painful for clumsy people like myself.

I have some basic ideas of a new game as well but I think it's difficult to overstate how much time and effort things like that involve - it's been a hell of a ride Sandy, and I don't think anyone could've done a better job driving such an enormous game single-handedly for five years while also managing mechanics, angry players, and, right, the entire main storyline all at once. Thanks for all the time you've put forth into this awesome experience.

Sorry for the delay, I really don't like this new update yet, but, we're in the final phase here. Round Seven of Tarokin's Trouble Olmstyr declares Oath of Retribution Boomingham declares Oath of Retribution >Olmstyr vs. Irzerkutrah - Special Damage: Inheritor (17 damage and 4 insanity damage to everyone, Aazy KO'd, Oath of Retribution: Olmstyr deals 8 free hits (91x2/2 = 91 x 8 = 728 damage), Oath of Retribution: Boomingham deals 8 free hits (55/2 = 27 x 8 = 216 damage) >Boomingham vs. Irzerkutrah - Hit (55/2 = 27 damage, Boomingham can declare an oath) >Thalion vs. Irzerkutrah (Light) - Spell (48x2 = 96 x 2 = 192 damage, -2 ether, Irzerkutrah KO'd) >Nerwen heals Skrall - Soryx vs. Irzerkutrah - Daske vs. Irzerkutrah - Aazy vs. Irzerkutrah - The party's dual vindicators each swear their oaths, even as Irzerkutrah screeches a garbled message, the last one that attacks the heroes' minds like a lance. <" "> It lashes out fiercely, at every single person in the party. Aazy and Daske are knocked out of the sky as Nerwen's healing is interrupted. Skrall and Soryx cannot line up their lethal blows. But Olmstyr and Boomingham are already prepared. In unison, they unleash their retribution on the eldritch abomination - their blades are a flurry of violent slashes that leave the monster utterly gutted, it crumpling to the floor as Olmstyr delivers eight stabs to its abdomen - Boomingham, not to be outdone, pulls off one, two, four, eight attacks, and follows up with one more, driving his sword deep into Irzerkutrah's gelatinous spine. Thalion seizes the opportunity, delivering two fatal light spells right into its face. The body of the monster is unrecognizable. Its form melt back into the primordial ooze it once bled. The pentagram on which it was trapped glows white hot - boiling away the essence of the creature as it touches the edges. Tra-Serral watches the remains of the demon...creature that tormented Tarokai's line boil away, leaving only a small puddle in its wake...barely enough to fill a vial. "...It is done?" "Yes." Soryx sheathes his blade. "I believe it is. Irzerkutrah has been banished from this plane, whatever it was. Clan Tarokin should no longer be troubled by it." THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!!! Everyone but Aazy levels up. The enemies drop one Eldritch Jelly. Party leader, how will the loot be divided? Eldritch Jelly (Causes a weapon to permanently deal double damage to holy, humanoid, and luminous enemies when it's used on it, giving it the "Eldritch-" prefix. Once used, the weapon can no longer be upgraded, enhanced, morphed, or enchanted. Consumable) "And it will stay gone? It will not have another opportunity to seize our leaders?" demands Olmstyr. "Lesser demons, you can likely kill with any ordinary blade. Stronger demons, it takes preparation to truly destroy, like the ritual I just enacted. Archdemons can only be banished back to Azazot, unless you have a Pandemonicon." "Irzerkutrah...I truly haven't the faintest idea. For that, I apologize. Clearly I must research these...eldritch creatures more thoroughly. But ancient legends like those are hard to come by. In either case..." Soryx bows to the heroes. "I thank you for the opportunity to prove my sincerity. As always, it is an honor to raise my blade alongside Heroica...particularly those with the favor of Pseudos." His gaze lingered on Boomingham. "I do not know where you obtained his blessing, but clearly it was well-placed. Now...there is....one thing more I must tell you about the Wandering Silence." Soryx paused in his suddenly-rapid words, and blinked, troubled, as though waking from a dream. "Hang on," interrupted Daske, annoyed, in the middle of reviving Aazy. "You said you barely knew anything about them!" "I...don't. I do not recall being told this information." "...Convenient." Tra-Serral crossed her arms, but there was not as much obvious malice behind her voice as before. "Perhaps some memory, hidden behind a spell?...it does not matter. If it helps you, I will relay it." "The what is known, and the when, one piece is all remains. Return now to where blood was shed, it left countless stains. Blood of fathers, the blood of sons, glory still unclaimed." "The bridge." "Naturally." "Those blue dimwits told us midnight. The one Wandering guy got a little less silent and told us to burn the flag." "And now we know exactly where to go...and midnight's coming within the hour. It sounds like the Wandering Silence wants to meet us." "As I'm sure you're eager to meet them. With word or with blade."

Atramor watches with no small satisfaction as Althior's spell obliterates Solomon...but then Catnip is consumed, quite literally, by her rage. He glares at Semyaza, grip on the Mythril Claws tightening. He'd seen this coming. Of course this was how it was going to happen. Inevitable, really, knowing Catnip's impulsiveness. It still didn't really help. The archangel summoned forth a Heavenly Cross, the blinding light overwhelming Marilith's fire and rays of holy might spilling into the battlefield as she melted into them. Atramor stands ready to Decamodify the archdemon from the back row and then slash Semyaza with both claws from the back row. If Marilith is not weak enough to be decamodified, he attacks her and Semyaza from the back row, and then Decamodifies Marilith.

Phew. I think that's everything. Colors are gone but other than that things should be okay - let me know if I've missed something in your stats, everyone. Also, I'm letting you get rid of Irzerkutrah's immunities and such because they're temporary, having been copied off of Thalion. Round Six of Tarokin's Trouble >Nerwen heals Olmstyr - Heal Less (42 health restored, 5 sanity restored, -1 ether) >Nerwen heals Boomingham - Heal Less (42 health restored, 5 sanity restored, -1 ether) >Thalion v. Irzerkutrah (Broomstick) - Enchantment (-11 ether, +1 SP) >Skrall uses Neutralizer - (Everyone's temporary effects removed) >Boomingham v. Irzerkutrah (Silver Sword) - Hit (55/2 = 27 damage, Boomingham can declare an oath) >Olmstyr v. Irzerkutrah - Shield: Supernatural Smite (241x2/2 = 241 damage, Olmstyr can declare an oath) >Soryx v. Irzerkutrah - Shield: Internal Conflict (Irzerkutrah's health halved) >Daske v. Irzerkutrah - Jump Hit (Daske launches into the air) >Aazy does nothing Everyone recovers 1 sanity Even in the face of such a monstrous abomination, the party rallies. Nerwen soothes the minds of her allies while Skrall activates a Neutralizer, sucking away everyone's buffs, unfortunately, but also leaving Irzerkutrah completely vulnerable. Boomingham and Olmstyr smite the eldritch creature as one while Thalion prepares his shield for the final push. Aazy, nearly petrified with terror and helplessness, gets called upon anyway, guiding the dangerously reckless Daske to try and jump onto the creature's back. Soryx's Vanquisher lights up a blood red. "Whatever you are, creature, wherever you hail from, no matter how little of a demon you really are, know this-" Soryx slices off a trio of Irzerkutrah's thrashing tentacles, then lunges forward in the opening he's created, driving his blade deep into the beast's gullet, causing it to emit a gurgling, mind-numbing screech and a lot of eldritch ooze. "-you are NOT welcome on this plane!" SANITY - Against Irzerkutrah, the party must maintain its sanity. - Sanity recovers at a rate of 1 per round. Being healed with consumables recovers 3 sanity, being healed with healing magic recovers 5. - Irzerkutrah will find good use for insane heroes. If the entire party goes insane, the quest will fail. Enemies Irzerkutrah Level 142 Eldritch Demon Health: 1128/2851 Special I: Ruthless Pillager - Taerun steals all of his attacker's temporary effects and copies all permanent ones and immunities. If he has already done this, then he drains health equal to the attacker's level and returns health to himself equal to twice the amount taken. Special II: The Orc King - Tarokai gives himself a passive 1/6 chance to doom humans, 1/6 chance to hex greenskins, and a 1/6 chance to instantly kill Heroicans for the duration of the battle, and he then immediately attacks. Special III: Inheritor - Tar-Valstyr deals damage equal to the average level of all allies divided equally among the party. One quarter of taken damage is also dealt as insanity damage. Special IV: Warlord - Tarvalk gains 10 levels, and all allies deal one additional Free Hit at the end of the round. Special V: Blind Seer - Tarknal deals the blinded- and sealed- effects and is lucky for the duration of the round. Specials are random. Drops: Eldritch Jelly Note: Eldritch enemies are weak against light- and fire- elemental, but strong against darkness-, water-, ice-, and wood-elemental. In addition, they deal insanity damage equal to one quarter of their level on attacks and Free Hits.

I found a pretty useful shortcut in my complete desperation need to fix 150's stats. In the newer versions of MS Word there's a 'Replace' feature letting you search a document and replace (or in this case simply remove) certain phrases - removing bold, italics, underline, etc, is very easy. The only thing it can't wipe out in an instant is color codes. This means an update is coming 150, sorry for the wait but I knew this task was going to take a while.

"Fun is one word for it. I know a lot of people that would just love to see us drag that wrinkled head of yours into the Hall," Atramor directs towards Baba, whilst he summons his Archangel with 60 mana from the back row. The celestial slayer descends from the sky on a ray of light, looks upon the enemies with disdain and speaks her Holy Word, crippling their defenses. He then lobs a Neptune Bomb into their foes, from the back row. "Let's get this done, mates; we've got one shot at the bitch."

Or a commemorative playing card.

Well, anyone can 'vye' for a spot as a Veteran. It doesn't really mean anything. There's no problem with changing character constantly, but having your character's personality/relationships change over time is one of the most enjoyable parts of a long-lived game such as this one, in my opinion.

Round Six of Tarokin's Trouble >Olmstyr vs. Taerun - Shield Special Damage: Warlord (+10 levels, Taerun gains an additional free hit) >Skrall vs. Tarknal (Greatsword) - Hit Hit (60x3x3x2x2 = 2160 damage, Tarknal KO'd) Daske vs. Tarknal Taerun - Shield Hit (39 damage) >Nerwen heals Olmstyr - No Heal >Nerwen vs. Tarknal Taerun - Special Guard Special Guard: Inheritor (120/8 = 15 damage to everyone, 1 insanity damage to everyone >Boomingham vs. Taerun (Silver) - Hit Special Damage: Warlord (+10 levels, Taerun gains an additional free hit) >Soryx vs. Tarknal Taerun - Hit Optimism (Party safe from free hits) >Thalion uses Earthwyrm Fang on himself >Aazy does nothing Taerun vs. Olmstyr - (No damage, Optimism, 12 insanity damage, no hex) Taerun vs. Skrall - (No damage, Optimism, 13 insanity damage, no hex, no instant kill) Monster - Tarknal fuses with Taerun (+1/4 level, +1/2 health, +special, +loot, +effects, immunity to negative effects), everyone takes 5 insanity damage, Tarknal and Taerun become Irzerkutrah Everyone recovers 1 sanity The party struggles against the might of the mutated form of Taerun. It becomes stronger. It lashes out at the entire party. Soryx's demon expertise comes in handy protecting Olmstyr and Skrall, but its madness threatens to send the entire party over the brink. The party's other hunter decpitates Tarknal in one swift blow, but the eldritch, demon ooze slides again towards Taerun. This time, the barely-humanoid form doubles over, as if pain, its 'flesh' falling apart and tearing at a huge, vaguely crustacean-looking monstrosity climbs out of the skins of all the orcs it has possessed, the ooze falling to the floor like a molted snakeskin as it unfurls its body, towering over everyone in the room. It opens its maw, but no sounds comes out; no, only the whispers in everyone's head grow louder, almost unbearably so. ​Tra-Serral, barely conscious and barely lucid, turns her eyes on the creature, struggling to even form words. "...It....is....him." SANITY - Against Irzerkutrah, the party must maintain its sanity. - Sanity recovers at a rate of 1 per round. Being healed with consumables recovers 3 sanity, being healed with healing magic recovers 5. - Irzerkutrah will find good use for insane heroes. If the entire party goes insane, the quest will fail. Enemies Irzerkutrah *Immune to all elements, sealed, blinded, weakened, confused, sleep, fragile, cursed, doomed, sudden death, poisoned, bleeding, jinxed, stunned,* *1/6 chance to doom humans, hex greenskins, and kill Heroicans* *Nimble* *Lucky* Level 142 Eldritch Demon Health: 2524/2851 Special I: Ruthless Pillager - Taerun steals all of his attacker's temporary effects and copies all permanent ones and immunities. If he has already done this, then he drains health equal to the attacker's level and returns health to himself equal to twice the amount taken. Special II: The Orc King - Tarokai gives himself a passive 1/6 chance to doom humans, 1/6 chance to hex greenskins, and a 1/6 chance to instantly kill Heroicans for the duration of the battle, and he then immediately attacks. Special III: Inheritor - Tar-Valstyr deals damage equal to the average level of all allies divided equally among the party. One quarter of taken damage is also dealt as insanity damage. Special IV: Warlord - Tarvalk gains 10 levels, and all allies deal one additional Free Hit at the end of the round. Special V: Blind Seer - Tarknal deals the blinded- and sealed- effects and is lucky for the duration of the round. Specials are random. Drops: Eldritch Jelly Note: Eldritch enemies are weak against light- and fire- elemental, but strong against darkness-, water-, ice-, and wood-elemental. In addition, they deal insanity damage equal to one quarter of their level on attacks and Free Hits.

Update coming tomorrow, I've been very busy lately.

Atramor uses three Grand Tonics on Althior, one on Namyrra, and four on Byblos. He uses his Nostrum on Catnip. He looks sideways at Baba as she smashes in on a giant bird. He takes a step back to appraise the party's odds...then he draws both Mythril Claws, still coated in a thick layer of black demon blood. "Ya' must be the witch, or...mindflayer or whatever I've heard so much about. They way I hear it? You have a million and one things to answer for, ya' shrivelled old bitch." He takes his Fenghuang Incense out of his pack, and lights that up too, a glowing blue smoke filling his nostrils as he inhales it deeply.

It was early in 148.

Miderun looked directly through the eye slits of Zoot's mask - no easy task. But the words echoing from behind them were some comfort to the berserker. "...Yeah, Bobby. I...dig. That is just a saying my mother used to use." She raised her eyebrows at Vindsval, and her tone changed to annoyance. "Am I pleased? No. I don't care what they did once. I care what they do now, and what they do now is like a wounded aepyornis, falling behind its herd, pride injured as much as its body. It is pathetic - their hate is pathetic and I see no reason to take on that burden myself. It is good that you are, Takanvy Vindsval, but I will wait and see." Miderun crosses her arms, not looking thrilled about the reverence with which 'Arthur' speaks of this creature. "You talk like it is a god. A givrok. It doesn't deserve that kind of talk. Whatever it is, it just needs to be taught a lesson and fix Bobby..." Miderun scribbles her name down under Quest #154.

Round Five of Tarokin's Trouble Olmstyr declares Oath of Reclamation against Tarokai (Tarokai stunned) >Olmstyr vs. Tarknal - Special Damage: Blind Seer (Olmstyr sealed, immune to blinded, Tarknal lucky for the rest of the round) Skrall vs. Tarokai (Greatsword) - Damage Critical Hit (80x2x2x3x3 = 2880 damage, Horrific Tarokai KO'd) >Nerwen uses Phoenix Essence on Boomingham - (Boomingham revived) >Nerwen heals Boomingham - Heal Less (5 sanity restored, -1 ether) >Boomingham gives Daske Epidemic Halberd >Daske takes Epidemic Halberd Soryx vs. Tarvalk - Rally (55x2x3 = 330 damage, party safe from free hits, Tarvalk KO'd) >Thalion vs. Taerun (Broomstick) - Shield Damage (56/2 - 15 = 17 damage, 14 insanity) >Aazy does nothing Abomination - Horrific Tarokai fuses with Taerun (+1/4 level, +1/2 health, +special, +loot, +effects, immunity to negative effects), everyone takes 5 insanity damage Repulsive - Tavalk fuses with Taerun (+1/4 level, +1/2 health, +special, +loot, +effects, immunity to negative effects), everyone takes 5 insanity damage Everyone recovers 1 sanity Skrall and Soryx prepare their greatswords, and together, they charge Tarokai and Tarvalk, each of them unrelenting until their targets lies in inky black bits. Nerwen restores Lord Boomingham, who tosses a halberd over to Daske, who takes it in hand, eager to help stave off her insanity. Unfortunately, the pieces of Tar-Valstyr, Tarokai, and now Tarvalk all slither along the ground into Taerun, and their strength suddenly seems quite overwhelming, not to mention outright maddening. SANITY - Against Irzerkutrah, the party must maintain its sanity. - Sanity recovers at a rate of 1 per round.
