There was also the evil bed, the evil cauldron, the evil table, and then evil chests, evil crates, evil barrels, and the infamous evil floor in other Quests.

Atramor pants after the lengthy battle, spending his last ether to heal himself. He slings the blood-soaked Pheles Rod across his back, trudging through the ocean of rat corpses towards the actors, checking to make sure each one is still alive. Tesni's Gaia Bomb should be gone, and I'm pretty sure she has only one Magic Mirror.

Loot differs wildly from Quest to Quest. That said, maybe a topic specifically or trading would help to keep the discussion from straying too much into it. Those pictures are just fantastic, joeshmoe.

Petrifying would, but it's immune.

Nope, sorry.

Yep.

The Magnificent Carletta Emilia Maria Roberta Consuela Puerta assumes she wants to find a more constructive topic, as we've about run dry on things to say on the scapegoat issue, in which case I agree, though my expectations are low given this is only the first day. Today is merely a matter of finding suspicious comments or taking careful note of behavior. I consider us most fortunate indeed to have a topic so readily available to discuss, but it's about run its course unless someone has something to add on it?

I'm not. But let's wait and see what the rest of the party thinks about it.

That's what I'm talking about. :thumbup:

The party heads east, and is surprised by what they find sitting in the dead end just ahead. A hissing, spitting spider sits on a sturdy web between the walls of the sewer. Without question, it lunges forward, revealing several sticky eggs stuck to the walls nearby... PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

That's really good, DLL.

The Blacked Out Night Action Dude, you mean.

The party finds nothing but a corner. Will they go south or east?

Ellaria healed Atramor, both in the back row as he directed his rats forward into the front row to devour the ROUS. If Atramor is KO'd, Ellaria will use a Phoenix Essence on him. Assume the rats go before Ellaria, please.

The party heads north, then goes east, turning a left corner to another fork. Will they go east, west, or south?

The Great Carletta Maria Roberta Puerta is back once again! And through the use of tea leaves, smoke, tarot cards, crystal balls, and mirrors, determines Sheridan is probably telling the truth. She assumes a particularly bold scum may have tried such a ploy, and it does indeed fit with what we know of dear Sheridan, but ultimately finds it rather unlikely, and is willing to believe she is telling the truth. The Great Carletta Emilia Maria Roberta Puerta thinks it's pretty damn funny that only hours into the day we already have some reactions to draw from for our future accusations and defenses and all manner of things.

Nope.

Glad you guys are still enjoying the Quest. I know it's slowed down since you entered the sewers, but it'll pick up soon enough.

Do I have all this right? Oh, and Pretzel never divided the Grating Stone, so I've left it in his inventory.

The boulder cracks loudly, and bits of stone fall from it. It's damaged, but not destroyed.

The heroes return to where the party first split, then heads east - running straight into a large, crumbling boulder blocking their path. Sorry Pala. I finally get my post up, and you ninja me...

Atramor pushed his way through the ocean of rats locked in heated combat with eachother, ignoring what seemed like a dozen teeth gnawing through his boot. He grumbled. She was just going to summon hordes of the little bastards to protect her, wasn't she? They had to end this fast. "Ellaria, we need an Ice Bomb. Althior, have the Captains take out Creepy Rat B, then have your Dire Rat, Brown Bilge Rat, the Cave Rats, the Boisterous Rats, the Giant Rats, and the Ship Rat kill the Cave Rat, then have the Rebel Soldier, the Kitchen Rats, and the Bad Rat finish the Boisterous Rat. My rats, go eat Kitchen Rat C. When he goes down, go get Ship Rat C, and if he goes down, take your former Queen, all from the front row. Althior, Tesni, Russel, keep on the Queen, and make sure ya'll are at the bottom of the battle order so your attacks aren't weakened by all these damn rats." Kicking a cluster of vermin out of his path, Atramor took a swing at Ship Rat C from the back row. Ellaria lobbed an Ice Bomb from the back row.

Quest 69 does, too, I suppose, since I'll be referencing it at some point.

Before Nessa can pull out her compass, Dreyrugr rejoins the party from just ahead of them.

The party heads east for quite a while, turning left then right before reaching another junction. Will they go east, west, or south?
