Ouch.

Darkness is basically the Demon type, just under a different label, so he should still be weak to light. There they went again. Atramor couldn't understand for the life of him why anyone would be interested in the inner workings of someone with nothing more than wanton death on the mind. The one time he had gotten a glimpse into such things, it had cost the lives of two perfectly good people. "The hell does it matter? Unless every single one of his victims has been conspirin' against him for no good reason, he had this coming."

Ellaria should be at full ether. Love the broken table effect you made. Atramor pushed himself off the wall as soon as the mage bursts inside, yet another horde of spirits at his heels. He grumbles upon noticing his Dark nature. Looks like Conspirator wouldn't be getting any use at all, yet again...he pulled out the Heavy Flail once more, but paused. "We need that mage gone before he can get any of his pawns back up...Guts, you're Lucky, Hastened, and that Throwing Knife of yours will do double damage to the bastard, focus on him...Ellaria, ya' might wanna weaken him, just in case. Rian, speed us all up, will ya'? Alchemists, pin down those spirits." As Rian opened the Cloud of Celerity and obscured the room in a thick, yet somehow invigorating mist, Atramor found his movements even faster, swinging the Heavy Flail at Marc from the front row. If he takes Damage, he moves to the back row for his second attack, otherwise, he repeats his action. Battle Order Rian uses Cloud of Celerity Ellaria - Ellaria - Atramor attacks Marc, front row - Atramor attacks Marc, front row (unless Marc is not weakened and Atramor took Damage, in which case, back row) - Guts Guts John attacks Spirit A, front row - John attacks Spirit A, front row - Claude attacks Spirit B, back row - Claude attacks Spirit B, back row - Ashley attacks Spirit C, back row - Ashley attacks Spirit D, back row - Rian attacks Spirit E, back row - Rian attacks Spirit F, back row - We have five times more actions this round than we have heroes in the Quest.

Agreed. I was happy to see a couple of very active townies working hard in the day threads, but the scum just decimated during the night....congratulations to both teams. I absolutely loved the setting, too. :thumbup:

Atramor blinked rather blearily at Guts, and glanced between him and Ellaria, before stifling a chuckle and responding just as quietly. "I generally don't bother payin' attention to rumors either. I really doubt that one, mate."

Shields change less than artifacts. And I think shields can be imbued/disimbued now.

Ratabor!!

Atramor's up for killing ninjas any day. Now I'm really interested to see how you re-structure the Quest. Since the bulk thus far revolved around the combat, I'm assuming the redux will have a narrative more like average ones. In any case, you'd better not move it outside the pagoda just because there's, well, less residents. I really want to see the rest of it.

Atramor tosses the Telescope back to Guts. "Might wanna equip that robe, Ellaria, and if ya' wanna catch some sleep to regain ether, now's your chance. Alchemists, ya' probably wanna get some rest too."

Free Hits don't occur until after the first round. Benji shot first.

Yeah, it's unfortunate to see it end like this. The setting and enemies were both really interesting. ...Can we look forward to "Quest #67: 35 Stars of Destiny: The Search for Jun" at some point?

This is the most accurate description of the Fields party.

That's what the dragon asked, too.

Atramor takes it with a nod and peers through the Telescope out into the distance.

"Aye, but if these spirits were his main weapon, he's bound to show himself sooner or later." Atramor spares a moment to heal himself at the cost one ether, while poking his head out the front door, once again, for any sign of the mage or any other of his minions.

Ellaria wouldn't done anything because she can't do anything anyway, so no damage, please. Atramor stows the Heavy Flail, poking through the...ether-y remains of the Spirits. He hands the Spirit Robe and Ether Core to Ellaria, gives Guts a pair of Health Cores and three Grand Potions, and keeps three Health Cores and two Grand Potions for himself. "Guess this mage ain't the type to do his own dirty work."

Is the Spirit Robe backwear or bodywear? And Scuba's right, Spirit D is still alive at 82 health.

Pretty much exactly my thoughts. I especially like trying out a ton of different facial expressions to get the right character I have in mind. And then sometimes I get a completely different one, and then I'll re-write the character in my head.

I've noticed that building the figs first helps quite a bit towards writing a Quest itself for me. Built like a dozen figs yesterday and what do you know, I'm almost done. Now I just have to build....everything else.

That's fine, I meant kicking his megablocks in a real fight. He's always generally trying to do Good. Don't know about Lawful, though. My intention is to have him straying into Neutral Good for the time being. Lawful in the form of McCafferey and Chaotic in the form of killing Gnash and Hans both kind of messed him up in that alignment spectrum.

Clearly it's time to teach him another lesson on impeding on Atramor's territory.

Rian, Claude, and Ashley should've gotten two rolls each because Spirit A was Jinxed, not sure if you did roll and just didn't record the lesser result or not. Also, Spirit Leader's attack shouldn't be redirected, John should just take 7 damage. Atramor doesn't miss a beat despite Spirit D's vicious swing at him, whirling the flail right towards its head from the front row. "Alchemists, go for the leader while he's weak." Battle Order Ellaria Atramor attacks Spirit D, front row - Guts Guts Guts John uses Potion on himself John attacks Spirit Leader, front row - Claude attacks Spirit Leader, front row - Rian attacks Spirit Leader, front row - Ashley attacks Spirit Leader, front row -

Skrall and Scheherazade?

"Good work mates, keep at it. Alchemists, go for whichever one of those bastards is Jinxed, but John, go for the leader," nods Atramor, taking a swing at Spirit D from the front row. Battle Order Ellaria weakens Spirit Leader - Atramor vs. Spirit D, front row - Claude vs. Whichever Spirit is Jinxed, front row - Ashley vs. Whichever Spirit is Jinxed, front row - Rian vs. Whichever Spirit is Jinxed, front row - Guts vs. Spirit A, front row - Guts vs. Spirit B, front row - Guts vs. Spirit C, front row - John vs. Spirit Leader, back row -

I was going to say you guys are in trouble without a healer, but Nagure has so much SP it doesn't even matter.
