"Birds. Very big birds. Native to Baltarok, though some spread out to the world due to the Invasion. We have very few horses, since we don't have terribly much to feed them with, but aepyorni are content with whatever they pick out of the ground. Their vast numbers are the only reason meat's in such good supply here. Other than that, there are a few who have mastered the art of riding them. They can't bear much of a burden, and they can't fly, but you'll never see a faster sight on the field of battle. And don't worry; as long as you know where to find them, you can drink however much you like. It's not outlawed, just frowned upon in public, save for special occasions. Plus you're human, so nobody would think twice if they saw you drinking." "Heh, not the prettiest scarf in the world."

It's more a mistake on my part. I had both party leaders still being party leaders to keep the battle moving along and didn't think there'd be this much of an issue over loot distribution.

Atramor spat out a mouthful of sand as he got to his feet, but didn't have a second to catch his breath before he was once again mobbed by enemies. "This desert sucks," he snapped, vicious swinging at Dune Ghoul E from the back row.

Olmstyr laughed. "Haha, that's probably about the best compliment you could give an orc city. We don't piss about building to the sky or making our homes look pretty. Though admittedly Vim-Lhzar is somewhat...disorganized. Far as sights go, well, you can see the docks from here - the only ones of any significance in Baltarok - and those four little spires in the distance are part of the current palace, home of Bastala and the other higher-ups of Clan Irlaz." "In Vim-Lhzar? Couldn't say. Inns in Baltarok are very rare. I mean, they're probably more common than usual here, but people don't go around advertising them, so we'd have to look. Tarok generally frowns on drinking, plus we get almost no visitors, so there's little need for them. In any case, though, we need to get to Imaestym as soon as we can. I mentioned on the ship the Clanmeet was about to take place, and I promised Karstaal I'd be there once I got back here. I know of a few places there where you can rest, though-" "-and possibly get some warmer clothes for you, Miss Fenral. Right this way." Olmstyr led the party through the winding, random paths between the buildings of Vim-Lhzar. Often they'd a random mercenary from time to time among the sea of greenskins wandering about, or pass groups of orcs in streets speaking in low, angry voices to one another, Even they reached the outskirts opposite the docks, facing Baltarok proper. The image of harsh wasteland was only partially masked by the sheets of snow laying thick over the dirt and desert pavement. They could see miles inland, yet there wasn't a tree in sight, only long plains and low hills, sometimes lined in large rocks or boulders. Outside of the cities, it indeed seemed about as desolate and barren as rumored. Their view lasted only a few moments, when Olmstyr rolled up in a long, rickety-looking cart, tugged along by a pair of horses. "Hope you take to this better than you took the ship, Mister Skovgaard. Everyone get in and get comfortable. It'll be a bit of a trip, I'll fill you in on the clans you'll soon be meeting on the way. Just be glad you get to ride in this rather than having to try and learn aepyornis riding."

Atramor takes a crack at Ghoul C from the back row if revived.

"Nearing Baltarok now. Won't be long 'til we hit land." Olmstyr watched the High Kingdoms slide slowly out of view, leaning on one of the Magpie's railings, jaw set. He pointed out the wide, icy Navaosh, the river diving the Kingdoms and Baltarok, to the party. Both landmasses grew closer and closer together the farther the river flower southward, until it swept below an imposing stone bridge in the distance. "The Augustus Bridge." The orc crossed his arms. "Every life lost from here on in is going to be because of it." The ship cut through the water with ease. Soon enough they passed the mouth of the Navaosh, and instead their gazes turned to the city built right on the shore of Baltarok. Rather than piers or a singular bay, the port seemed to take advantage of the jagged coastline, building tiny, miniature ones for individual ships. Most of the buildings were one-story tall, but other than that, the buildings shared little similarities. Most were small and irregularly shaped, made of either roughly-hewn stone or aged wood newly assembled into wind-beaten shacks. Further inward they seemed to get somewhat taller and the stone structures seemed to be more common, but as a whole the city looked like the orcs took whatever was lying around and callously added to the town whenever it was needed. The Magpie sailed into one of the empty 'bays', past a few chunks of ice that had floated into the docks, and tossed ropes down onto the ground, accompanied with a gangplank. "Interesting place. Have fun, heroes. I've got to make sure those damn vikings didn't leave any lasting damage. I'll be back in a few days for the second half of my payment. And if things go according to plan, you, too." Olmstyr was the first one off the ship. A familiar smile stretched across the orc's face as he finally set foot back in Baltarok. "Azt caz Baltarok. Il olm-bal. Welcome to Vim-Lhzar, heroes, oldest and most resilient of our cities. May not look like much, but it's great in both age and memory."

As the Captain said, soon the Magpie left the Helvetian Sea behind, the water getting (marginally) less frigid, and the threat of viking raids dropping by the minute. The frosty shores of the High Kingdoms were visible in the distance. The ship dropped anchor near one, and Illdria waved to Melvin, who lowered a rowboat into the water. "Here ye go, then." "Indeed." The captain waved to the heroes of Quest 88. "This is your stop."

"Soon as you all stop fighting over this junk and sort it out."

I'd think it would only last for the duration of the battle. It should, anyway.

"We're not heroes. We can't use allegiances and relations with factions as we will, and throw them away on a whim. There's more at stake to it than good favor with the Bonapartes. I can handle them now, much as I hate to, but pretending to suck up to them and stab them in the back will cause even worse problems than we have now. It's not my style, either. Are you seriously telling me that if your worst enemy offered you their favor, then no matter how much their favor would disgust you and destroy every principle you've got, you'd take it anyway?" "Now this one knows what she's talking about. If they end up trading blows, by all means. Just try not to get too much blood on the deck. And be careful with that sword, I'd rather my ship not go up in flames."

All the attacks stack into a single hit.

"That hand's been at my throat far too much for my liking." "Probably not, I'm afraid. True blacksmiths are a rare thing to come by in Baltarok. Most of our arms and such are scavenged or pieced together. Relics from battles long past." Zasies gave Benji an enormously hard slap on the back. "Ah, don't worry about it. Gators tough, and you're at least half." "Please. My crew have had to fight them off on occasion. I'm with the ship, they're with the ship, and the Bonapartes hate the ship. If you're concerned about my leadership, well, stuff it. But go ahead and ask my crewmen if they'd like to buddy up with the people who take a chunk out of their paychecks on a regular basis." "My gratitude? For what, not letting me sail on past this mess and instead inviting three dozen vikings onboard? I appreciate what Heroica's trying to do, I just don't think it needs to stick its nose in every little problem that happens to crop up."

MDM, you're distributing 10 Meads and 11 Mulled Wines, not 11 and 12. "Maybe I wasn't clear enough before. No brawling. On my goddamn ship. Since you two obviously can't sort this out, let the rest of your people vote on whose distribution is better." The captain rolled her eyes. "Like children. Honestly."

And also, what happens if the target for High Assault is killed while the dragoon is in the air? I ran it as they just attack the next target in order, but I'm unsure.

"Don't give me that. You Heroicans fight over one another for the affections of the Houses. You operate outside their power and authority. Us normal folk have to abide by their word or lose our lifestyles. Bonapartes have been screwing me over since the minute I set foot on a ship, just like every other sailor in Eubric, so you'll forgive me if I don't feel like selling out to those fools just because one person offers me a better relationship with them." "True. If it weren't for my armor, the bald one would've skewered me like roasted aepyornis. We'll be on our own soon enough, though facing down worse, I fear. I think I know somebody who can replenish our supplies once we get to the homeland. Don't know where he gets this stuff, but it works and I don't think he's got it out for humans; that's something you'll come to value in Baltarok, like it or not."

"Bah, of course. Can't wound Selkreeth. Only kill. That takes real effort."

Guts should've only stolen 95 gold total that round, since nobody but Ognar and the Whelp carried gold. Dyric should've only stolen 87. Round Nine of Massive Magpie Mix-up >Hoke v.

Alexis fools around with him as Guts and Tesni finish him off, leaving the deck a bloody mess of viking corpses. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Some people gain experience. The enemies drop stuff.

The latter looks dazed and ill. Zasies looks more like she's disappointed the battle has ended. "Well. I should demand a portion of this-" "Miff Iw-" "-but, I suppose several members of my crew agreed with your decision in any case. Take whatever valuables you want, but dump the bodies when you're finished, I don't want it reeking like blood, sweat and beards all the way to Baltarok." She sheaths her sword and stows her whip, everyone taking a moment to catch their breath after the long, laborious battle. One of the vessels had already capsized and vanished from view. The other was already taking on water. The captain returned to the helm, taking the wheel and preparing to leave. "Now that we've all entertained our morality, perhaps we could start making some progr-" "Captain, ship incoming." This time it was no viking vessel than ran alongside the Magpie. Illdria heaved a sigh upon recognizing the ship the party had just risked the voyage in order to save. "Yeah. Figures." "Definitely Bonapartes." The woman on the deck of the other ship - Attina Bonaparte, judging by the looks of her - greeted the ship with a brisk wave. Her crew looked busy patching up wounded or perform emergency repairs, and she seemed to be in no mood for formalities. "Didn't expect many friendly faces in these waters. You have my thanks for drawing off those Viking scum, though we could've managed had you not intervened." "I'm sure. What, you don't have enough problems in Eubric to deal with?" "The Bonapartes have established their presence there well enough, captain - assuming you are the captain, of course. I'd've thought anyone with a ship would know that much...our mission is to the defend the poorer towns along the coasts from these attacks, and you've helped us to ensure the raiders won't return, at least for a while. Ognar the Hairy was a threat, but there are many other clans in the area that would love to take his place pillaging the coast. I'll make sure word of this gets back to Eubric. No doubt you'll have improved relat-" "No." "Excuse me?" "Hell, no. I'm not going to let my ship or anyone currently on it play suck-up to you people. I got to where I am by working at it, not by getting cushy with the Houses, and especially not by being shown one instance of generosity by Bonapartes. You want to thank me, lower the taxes. Favoritism is half the reason you're the bureaucratic clowns you are today. The other half is paranoia." Attina's eyes narrow suspiciously. "Shame to see animosity towards authority exists even out here." "Maybe the authority should fix its own problems before trying to fix someone else's." "I have a job to do out here, captain. I'm not going to waste my time trying to change a mind so set on what it wants to believe." "Good, because I don't want to waste my time arguing politics with a Bonaparte. I'd rather fight a hundred more vikings, and I've got someplace to be." Illdria returns to the wheel without another word, the Magpie turning westwards once again, cutting through the frigid waters with ease. The Sunflower remains where it is. Olmstyr scratches his head, breaking the silence. "Doubt the Bonapartes are going to be terribly grateful now....so, ah...I guess that ends my brief career in foreign diplomacy, then."

I'll start rolling soon, and I'll probably be autorolling to the end as well.

Tiger Balm would prevent the effect for one battle, I think, if Quest 75 was any indication. Tiger Balm doesn't remove negative effects, it makes one immune to all effects, which incidentally worked out pretty well for us.

On a semi-related note, do dragons themselves take row into effect on rolls of Dragon Aid or Dragon's Wrath?

Many of the KOs were because some of you guys got cocky and attacked the level 100 guy in the front row.

I too thought the Beorn scene was weird. It was the perfect setup for a (very brief) recap of what was going on, if they did it like the book.

Shouldn't the free hit against me just be nullified rather than moving to the next person in order? The description of Optimism says 'safe from free hits' rather than avoiding it like in the case of Hide, and it's worded the same on Rally when the entire party is safe from them. But I'm not sure how Zepher intended it. "Well great friggin' job Catnip, now you can't shoot anything," grumbled Atramor. Why is it everyone who tagged along with him always seemed to want to get themselves killed? He shook his head, taking Nyx's place in attacking Dune Ghoul A from the back row.

Vote: Dagstyrr the Fool (Darkdragon). Suspicious activity, suspicious behavior, suspicious claim. That's fair. I actually was intending to make a case against you on Day Three (and told someone as much), then all the stuff with Dufa got stirred up and we had solid leads on him, then Wary showed up neutral. I'm still wary about your claim, but by the sounds of it the block's pretty well organized and much more well informed, plus their leads are generally more solid. I'd still like you investigated at some point if it's possible.
