Oh, Zeph, you forgot to account for Special Mirror. Both me and Master B should be down 4 ether. because I drained his as well.

"Now would be a good time to use those swords, Hoke. No need for defense with Cronk's angel here. Hans, switch targets with me next round, I'd rather be burnin' ether than cuttin' myself...can someone follow up my attack? Best put fragile to good use." Intent on freeing McColt, Atramor swings the Heavy Flail at Expert B from the front row.

Althior grabs some more Zs. Then the party sets out. It's easy for half the party to recall their last excursion out to this orchard. It's no surprise that as the bright apple trees close around them, enemies begin dropping from them. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

That little prison cart set actually looks pretty cool. Looks to be a $20 set or so, which is a shame, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the cart's design, it's a far cry from those crappy little siege engines. Gah, those wheels....

More or less what I anticipated from the preliminary. Which is not particularly a good thing. (To me, at least, I can see what they were aiming for.) Very similar to the first Knight's Kingdom.

Going with the party leader's plan, as Thormanil hasn't specified an action, and I'm not going to wait so I can autoroll twenty rounds so he can hoard gold.

"We need these Apprentices out first if we're to save Gnash, though."

The Darkstar doesn't do anything, though. I think it fleshes out Guts as a character to try and keep all the probably lethal ancient magic artifacts, but it doesn't make much sense for everyone to let him keep it. By the looks of it, he's probably going to have to fight off the Maginastra, Hlin, and his entire party if he wants to try. And he's out of Meads, Nostrums, and Smelling Salts. There are some points in Quests where you have to be a better player than a better character, basically.

The voice of reason!!

Go Witch.

Eternally wandering the Hall, unable to get into a Quest. Alternatively, in a bloody pile at the feet of one of the Threshold Monsters before he can get to Level 30. But yeah, his stats would be cool.

Specials are rarely just negative effects anymore, I don't think it'd be nerfed too bad. I hope not, at least...

It would only last one round, unfortunately. And I don't think souls would taste particularly good to mortals...

Oh, I forgot, she's got the Lucky Die. In that case, yeah, Alexis could easily take him out.

For you.

She wouldn't be Lucky attacking Mephisto, though. That damn Soul Sucker...actually, Hans is the best suited to take him out. And honestly, I don't think this battle is that bad at all. Looks fine to me. That Amulet.

Atramor opens his mouth, evidently to speak to both Nyx and Haldor; but instead is whisked off to the Court of Demons. He didn't complain. He'd rather fight than think right now; and within minutes, his wish was granted. He nodded to Cronk, narrowly slipping past Mephisto and whirling the Heavy Flail out of his cloak at Master B from the back row.

I'm a bit busy and probably won't be able to have the round up for a while, so...feel free to formulate some sort of strategy. Preferably one that does not involve Counterstrike Gloves?

I more or less had that idea lined up for Henry in Quest 51, but Sandy didn't like the idea of a Counterstriking shield.

Have to maintain my place as most disliked hero.

Atramor found himself more or less unable to respond to Dyric and Haldor. He couldn't possibly tell them what'd occurred. But he was sure that if the chance came....the Large Pongcanis would hardly have any head left for Haldor to have. It hardly helped to stifle the guilt, but Vipera's short chat with him...while almost painfully familiar.....gave him some comfort. He sighed quietly as she explained Wren's next targets, but frowned at Arthur's sudden bout of insanity, and even moreso at Nyx's decision to go...reason with XX? "...I think it'd be best to go after the Chaos Beasts. The beast bein' hastened won't mean a damn thing if we can blind it. That said, I think Skrall, Dyric, Hoke and I should head for the Court, leavin' Cronk, Alexis, Arthur, Thothwick, and Haldor to take the Spire." He turned his head to Nyx. "Ya' think ya' can reason-...?" He paused, noting the battle mage's unsuredness about...whatever she thought of the mercenary. He handed over the Explosive Staff without waiting for a clearer explanation, one that he was pretty sure he didn't want to hear, and quite seriously suspected he wouldn't understand anyway. "...In any case, don't die, or Boomin'ham'll see to it I follow ya'."

Awesome, thanks.

"If you mean that you hope she didn't die for nothin'....you'd be wrong," muttered Atramor bitterly.

That was what I felt like when Hinckley got lynched. I could've unvoted, but at that point I figured his death would at least help to clear things up. His death pretty much confirmed Scouty to me.
