Also, the Chaos Beast of Life is dropping Phoenix Downs. Didn't the same thing happen the first time they were fought in Haddon? "Haldor, are ya' tryin' to kill us? That thing has a good chance of hittin' all of us if ya' get Damaged or Special Damaged, let one of the lucky ones take him..."

"Never gonna let me live that down, are ya'...?" chuckled Atramor briefly, once the party had landed. He turned his attention to the horde of Chaos Beasts. "I'm thinkin' our lucky heroes try and take down Life and Death or whatever over there. Other than that..." He walked forward to the nearest being - Chaos Beast A - and in one motion, swung the Explosive Staff from his back and right at the creature's shrouded head, from the back row.

"Don't have one of those, myself. I'll figure somethin' out...we've waited long enough." Atramor pulls on both of his cloaks at the same time, grasping each corner with one hand, and jumping into the abyss in a Batman-esque manner to try and to slow his descent. Whether it was a practical attempt to survive the fall or just to look badass, only he was sure.

"How do we jump into a seemin'ly endless pit carefully, mate?"

Same here, I always try and get a round off before going to bed.

All everyone else can do is hope to wake up anyway.

"The Brew would Enrage him if he drank it."

"Hoke, I think ya' should down that Brew and a Remedy. I'm about ready to head down there."

Atramor catches the Brew, but tosses it right back to Hoke. "Keep it, mate, ya' put it to better use than I can." He leans towards the edge of the abyss, and pulls his cloak around him, taking a moment to heal Hans and Mallelio. "Well, I s'pose there's nowhere else to go but down."

I thought the build was pretty nice at first. Then the eagle came in. That is just awesome, good work on the wings.

Falls under Character Optimization, I think.

"Ya' know, things were less chaotic when we were fightin' Chaos Beasts. Just pick a letter and hit him as hard as you can...this is just insane." Atramor pops open one of the crates before his attempt at healing, looking for the rum he desperately needed.

This was even better than I thought it would be. I loved the theme and the award givers, and especially Cronk's interludes. Fantastic job. Thanks a ton to Zepher and WBD, and congrats to all the winners! Who would've thought a male human rogue could be a runner up for most original character?

Exactly.

"Ya' could use your Mead on Skrall or Nyx."

This was a really funny read. Can't say I've been really watching the show since Season Three, but I still sometimes read reviews to see what's going on. I hope to see more.

"What, and lose out on the experience? I can still heal, mate." With that, Atramor did indeed heal Hoke, from the back row.

Do we have a date for the awards yet? I'm really eager to see it.

Yeah. I don't know whether it's affected by Sealing or no, but definitely not by Blinded.

"Hmm....I've got another idea, mates. We use Arthur's first idea - that is, he Jinxes one of us with his Healing Staff while another, Lucky ally does the same, except instead of Cronk, we use Haldor. His Blood Rituals will keep all of us in perfect health while draining the life out of the floor at the same time."

Atramor nods to Cronk, and instead feeds Hoke the Pongcanis Brew from the back row. "Mate, are ya' sure about this? I think only Nyx and Hoke should fight at all, this thing can hit hard for a floor..."
