Judging by the Fields, 250 gold...which sounds fairly right to me.

It would turn a Raider into an Assassin that deals damage on Shields and has Steal instead of Aim. Imagine if Guts had that.

I'm not denying it's very powerful, I'm just saying it's not going to devalue the Assassin class. It's a single item.

Heck, Sandy's already created a weapon with a 1/6 chance to deal the Petrified effect. And that's including regular Hits and physical Shields.

Cloak of the Red Assassin. I don't see why you're complaining. A lot of classes have had their once unique mechanics kind of given away in the form of artifacts. Knights and SP is the best example of it. Shields used to be the only way to have defense, now a ton of people have it available to them - and yet it hasn't had any impact on the Knight's main role - tanking. I don't think one artifact is as ruinous to your class as you think. I didn't complain when Endgame offered perma-Deadly Venom'd weapons in Quest 48, and that makes up about half of being a Witch (and costs you 400 gold and an artifact slot to boot). If they were being given out left and right, maybe I'd be a little annoyed, but a one-off item doesn't bug me. It's not that big of an issue in my eyes.

Remind us to smash the rest of those. Guts has the right idea, I haven't trusted statues since Quest 40...

When they're on the same person, they cancel eachother out, but when a Lucky hero (or enemy) attacks a Jinxed enemy (or hero), then there's four die rolls and the best result is taken.

Considered putting in an offer for the Sword of the Vampir for a long time. And yes, that's why I'm rooting for it, especially because Lucky Guts + Jinxed enemy = death for all enemies.

Come on Special Mirror.

That robe..... Those enemies.... Atramor draws Conspirator immediately after the safehouse is infiltrated by the oddest looking skeletons he's seen - but then notices the odd way they shimmered and seem to be distorted slowly. He grumbled, slamming the cutlass back into its sheath. "Whatever the hell these things are, they're pure magic. Ellaria, you're gonna have to be on healin' duty, your weapons won't have any effect on them...and neither will Lifestealer," he added, with a glance towards Guts as the raider advanced. An idea was already forming in his head as he swept the Heavy Flail out of his cloak, and at the Spirit Leader from the front row. "Alchemists in the back, pin down those last four spirits." Battle Order Atramor attacks Spirit Leader, front row - Guts attacks Spirit A, front row - Guts attacks Spirit B, front row - John attacks Spirit B, back row - Claude attacks Spirit C, back row - Ashley attacks Spirit D, back row - Rian attacks Spirit E, back row - Ellaria -

Oh come on, Bennetton got himself killed... Boomingham on a mission to stop a poisoner and save a bunch of nobles, with a fancy dinner party and a ton of drinks standing in his way? Run!!!

From the QM's point of view, that just means it's working!

That's the Battering Ram. It showed up in the first Sheep Meadow battle, but not this one.

Depressingly, they'll probably do more harm to you than the Obsidian Dragon. Removed the badly poisoned effect from the weapons.

The party decides to head back to Mack Donauld's farm, but not before making one last stop... A horde of sheep and wolves immediately comes to surround the heroes. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Atramor heads back inside, slamming the bolt on the door behind him and striding back to the party. "There' somethin' movin' outside, can't tell what it is. Probably best if we got ready for a fight."

Atramor remains still for a few more moments, beady eyes narrowing on the odd movement, trying to ascertain whether it's heading towards the safehouse.

Um....huh. What were we supposed to be doing again? "I s'pose that's everythin' we're gonna find in here. I'm gonna go take a quick look outside...maybe the mage is just waiting for nightfall to try and take one of ya' out." With that, Atramor exits the safe house briefly, taking note of any potential hiding spots that might be out there.

"Haha! Now this, mates, this is loot..." Atramor rolls the valuable mineral in his hand, eyeing it closely, before tossing the shard over to Guts.
