Sounds more like a cartoon. Or a sitcom...any one of the three would be amusing. That's what I thought.

It was changed to an elementally-charged attack a while ago, though. To be honest, I thought that was how it'd always worked.

Holy shit....now that would be some real damage. You'd be effectively doubling the amount of hits... That's 42 damage each hit (and probably darkness elemental damage...) for 4-24 hits. That's over 2000 points of damage if you're facing off all humanoids and are very lucky. See, this is the sort of thing that has us moving inventories all the time.

I want very very much to see more of them. It's not like they're extremely particular, they're not so hard to throw into a generic treasure hoard or a baddie's inventory. Gah, foiled again by that Scary Hat.

I'll work on helping to fix both of those. You would get a lot more use out of it if you imbued your Diamond into the Twin Broadswords. Your reduced defense would make Cronk a lot squishier so you'd have a lot more to heal. Yes, but there's probably more battles to go. Zeph said the perma-KO thing is about the halfway point, I think, and there were three tiers of battles before it...

MISTY POND The party returns to the rapids, and walks along the jagged rocks. At the end of the raging river, a thick mist has gathered around a solitary pond. The party forms a circle, keeping close while, as expected, another group of monsters comes before them. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

You're a tank with one of the highest defense of all heroes. It's ironic how amazingly fitting Ennoc's Gratitude is for Cronk, yet how totally useless it is to him at the same time.

This time it's Docken who leads the party to the sanctuary, where the constantly sleepy Althior takes yet another nap...

Doc can act as party leader while Flare isn't around. So, loot division and destination, please.

That wouldn't've helped if Arthur was the only one alive left to fight. I figured it wasn't worth the risk anymore, and that it was better to ensure there was one more hero in later fights than to risk having a slightly weaker enemy in the long run. I can pay you back for the Paralyzing Venom if needed.

It wasn't a one hit victory. I would've had to constantly get hits. It didn't help that one person was already downed in each other battle - it made me realize how much of a difference one more hero could make and decided it wasn't worth the risk. Did he?

When in this quest have we ever had the advantage?

It's in the Treasury. I believe it summons an Emerald Genie to help for one battle. Which reminds me I need to update that, badly...

There are two scum teams. It's a possibility the chainsaw guy was the killing side of the scum and Badboy was the recruiting side. But given the sword killer's list of targets....it's not likely.

They're about 30 years too late on this.

I think a topic would be easier for a newer player to get into than a wiki in my opnion.

Serial killer, and a scum, and now possibly a scum killer. Awesome. Alopex has been startling quiet the entire game. Very interested to hear what he has to say about all this.

No, it's because of his weapon, the Staff of the Cultist Battlemages. When wielding it, Flipz has a 50/50 chance of Fleeing rather than being KO'd. Other than that exception, it works as you think it does.

Atramor or Arthur could pop in and help if Quest 54's party could do the same in return in Quest 53. Awesome to see you back, Khorne.

I think that'd be cool.

I've been waiting on Flare, but I figured it was better not to deprive you of a chance to triple your damage output. Round Eight of Raging Rapids Showdown Docken uses Darksteel Crossbow on Aepyornis B, front row - Aim (10 = 10 damage, Aepyornis B re-blinded) Benji uses Crossbow of the Pongcanis on Aepyornis B, front row - Critical Hit ((13 x 2) + 23) = 49 damage, Aepyornis B KO'd) Xander uses Precision Bow on Aepyornis C, back row - Hit (36 damage) Thormanil uses Thundering Totem on Aepyornis C, front row - Special Damage: Road Runner (Thormanil is slowed) Althior uses lightning on Aepyornis C, back row - Spell (38 x 2 = 76 damage, Aepyornis C KO'd, -1 ether) Aepyornis A uses free hit on Docken - (19 - 25 = 0 damage) Docken counterstrikes Aepyornis A - (26 = 26 damage, Aepyornis A KO'd) One of the remaining birds tramples Thormanil, but the rangers unleash a hail of arrows that kills one, Althior electrocutes another, and Docken snaps the last one's spindly neck.

Again, posades, Xander still has the opportunity to Mark Flying. I'll run the round in an hour or so assuming he doesn't if you don't respond.

That's basically what I meant by the second one. Got it. But does that mean Minstrels are immune to free hits while singing?

Do you mean that as in Battle Songs are simply separate from turns, or that you can only sing one at a time, even if you have two turns?

Singing songs without pronouns? There are only so many words that rhyme with 'Cronk'.
