Hey, that's basically how you get Wolfgang reputation.

There was probably an opportunity in Quest 34, if you decided not to mug the head of the house... There was probably another in Quest 2 if we decided not to mug the second-in-command of the head of the house....Shadeuax have the worst luck.

Death By Being Special Mirrored By Atramor not good enough for you?

I said everyone in a house. But you might have a point with the Bonapartes. Okay, well, on second thought, Sandy's probably not going to have half the Ball's guests jump into action as level 50s like Nemo and Hestia. There'd be no point to Nyx, Boomingham, and Thothwick being there at all.

I knew it. You get some sort of sick satisfaction seeing important and friendly NPCs die, don't you?

They're probably the only house in which everyone has skills in combat.

Nothing's useless as long as you look badass doing it.

No, but they wouldn't take any of the damage, since it protects from that.

But if they're not attacking, they may as well be KO'd.

That's the plan.

Quadruple health.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the new heroes in the kitchen are on their second battle, when all the 'veterans' have done is get drunk and annoy every one of the six houses?

It'll be hard to outdo Quest 62, but I'll try my best.

Atramor picked up the Diamond, stowing it in his cloak for the present. His eyes slid from the destructive raider, to the precise assassin, and to the helpful-as-a-rock warden. "That'd be a hell of the party," he agreed.

Preferably around 150 gold or so.

14/2 - 7 = 0 damage, I think.

Docken's got one, Tesni's got two, I think.

With Docken in the party, I could just tank whenever it's really necessary, or your Aura is in effect. Between the Darksteel Crossbow, Conspirator, and two pretty much permanently Lucky heroes, I doubt we'd be taking much damage anyway. Go for 50!!

"Aye, thanks. Haven't lead a party in quite a while. That one was easy enough, not doin' much more than keepin' the battles in order."

Good point. Maybe we could work out a deal in the Hall. I have the same odds, it's not as bad as it sounds. In any case, you're really just setting up a purely offensive hero to deal an even more devastating strike. Considering Guts is almost always Hastened and Encouraged, a hit with the Heavy Flail and a follow-up with Lifestealer could be particularly vicious.

Unfortunately, I don't think you could use it. It sucks Atramor's on such poor terms with Thothwick, because it would be absolutely destructive in the hands of the Black Knight.

Nope. I call it Plan W - Special Mirror the absolute crap out of everything until I can go Regulator. On a related note, if anyone's interested in purchasing it, I don't have much use for the Heavy Flail anymore.

"Hope you're not already lookin' for other buyers?" joked Atramor, returning to Hybros' table and taking a seat, sliding a pouch of 100 coins across to the imp and giving Guts a sharp nod in greeting before glancing at the assassin. "One Diamond, I think?"

Atramor slid quietly between the crowds of the marketplace. As Hybros said, Elphaba had left...but he had all the gems he needed anyway. He stepped into Fabian's, handing over the worn White Cloak, followed by - with one last, thoughtful look - the Witch's Talisman. He then had the Amulet of the Court imbued with his Topaz, Aquamarine, and Emerald, receiving a good 80 gold in return for his business there. He made a brief stop at Portia's next, trading in his Fire and two Holy Bombs for 15 gold, and then returned to the Hall.

Exactly. DICE and Visceral is probably the best we could've asked for out of EA to handle it.
