I'm all for opponents as unpredictable as Wren, but mechanically we kinda need to know what's going on. There's a lot of ways this could be interpreted and if we don't understand how it works we're in serious trouble.

So...do we list Wren in the battle order, or is Nyx out of it, or what? Can the enemies target her? Is Wren protected by Guardian Angel? Can we throw a Smoke Bomb and tell Wren to flee? Please?

Huh? How is this supposed to work, Zepher? Does Nyx get an action, are we trying to kill her, can we still attack Wren?

New best chapter! I sat there for around a minute comparing Chapter 26 to 1. Fantastic show of time. :thumbup:

I wouldn't think so, you can cast long range spells through a close range weapon without a problem, but I haven't seen it happen before, so I'm not sure. I think there was a point in Quest 38, though...

Althior is too busy yelling "Pull!" as the birds fly into the air to get shot at by the rangers, and fails to notice the Aepyornis coming at him before it's too late.

That's just why you shouldn't invest everything you have in a single weapon. I'm probably going to start taking gems out of Ratsbane soon. You just have to be ready to adapt when a new weapon comes along. I've hardly used it since I got the Heavy Flail. It's just too useful an effect to ignore. I do like your idea at its core. So whatever gems and WP the weapon to be merged has are lost once the weapons are forged together? (I say gems just because it would be beyond complicated when there's already a service for imbuing/de-imbuing gems).

'Sup, losers. Say hello to your Li'l friend. Me.

Hey, if all else fails and he tries to attack you guys, just have Hestia poke him in the eye with the Quill Pen. One hit kill.

Hooray for QM error! Atramor quells the desire to thank Wren as Arthur is thrown into a wall. He rolls his eyes, mouth twitching briefly into a smirk, and swings the Heavy Flail at Chaos Beast K from the back row.

Yeah, but I've noticed they're some of the most popular advanced class choices. 9 people currently have become Clerics as a result of it, not counting original Clerics.

Isn't Skrall Lucky? And Felton definitely is now, you just haven't labelled him as so. And I hate, hate, hate, HATE to point this out, but as an Orderly Regulator, Hans gets Rally rather than Critical Hits, so he should cause regular level + WP damage (he deals light elemental which should null the fact that he's in the back row) and grumble Arthur should still be alive.

Got around to making Atramor. If you squint, you can almost get the past the fact that he looks like he's high. Minifigs are best left minifigs.

"Cronk, Skrall's already got Wren, and I'm already healin' Nyx. Maybe ya' could fix up Gnash?"

"Because you're a complete megablock to think Wren won't destroy this city, all of us, and every single thing."

I'm surprised everyone's surprised too. Arthur's been unhinged since the beginning of the Quest. Was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

Atramor chuckles dryly. "Dyin' right in front of your lover. A good way to prove your faith. And what happens when she moves on to the next guy knowin' that the last chose death with his goddess over life with her? Then again, I am curious to see what happens."

I have Special Mirror and so should gain a level. Also, the Cat 'O' Nine Tails is still poisoned with Paralyzing Venom, so all the Chaos Beasts should be Paralyzed. You forgot to drain Wren's health by 100. Atramor attempts to patch up Nyx from the back row, while leeching off the Chaos Beast's strength to bolster his power much like it did. "Mates, the Chaos Beasts can't fight back, this might be a good time for some healin'."

By 'interact' you mean 'try in vain to kill and loot for your inhumane amount of gold'?

I'm sure that'll go over well with everyone. Hinckwell vs Shadeuax Guild of Invision vs Ziegfrieds Ji Pei vs The House of Guts

I'm interested to see how Guts will try and keep the brothers in their places. They both probably despise eachother at this point.
