k-nut, I think I applied your Spellbound Gloves wrong a while ago, but I get the idea now, the bonus is just applied before elemental strengths. Also, I have been counting poison damage, but I suppose I'll start adding it to the round descriptions. Round Six of Corn Maze Battle Docken uses Darksteel Crossbow on Battle Ant B, back row - Damage (Battle Ant B is Scared) Benji uses Crossbow of the Pongcanis on Battle Ant B, back row - Shield: Aura (Benji generates an aura) Xander uses Precision Bow on Battle Ant B, back row - Special Damage: Bombard (8 - 7 = 1 fire damage to Benji) Thormanil uses Frozen Sabre on Battle Ant B, front row - Special Damage: Bombard (8 - 7 = 1 fire damage to Benji) Althior uses Wind on Battle Ant B, back row - Spell (32 x 2 = 64 damage, Battle Ant B KO'd, -1 ether) Scarecrow A uses Free Hit on Benji - (15/2 - 7 = 1 damage) Benji counterstrikes Scarecrow A - (22/2 = 11 damage) Scarecrow B uses Free Hit on Benji - (15/2 - 7 = 1 damage) Benji counterstrikes Scarecrow B - (22/2 = 11 damage) Scarecrow A poisoned, -1 health Scarecrow B poisoned, -1 health Docken deflects the ant's lunge, and Benji produces an Aura, doubling his health and drawing all attacks to him. Which comes in handy, as the hero's luck goes a little sour. They don't leave much of a mark, though, and Althior finally eviscerates the ant. The scarecrows and Bennji get in a fistfight.

Atramor shrugs, handing over the Cat 'O' Nine Tails to Dyric as they walk. "I can do more damage with my flail anyway."

"I don't think she's too keen on lettin' anyone else use that staff, mate," remarked Atramor quietly to Arthur.

Flare okay'd the plan Doc suggested below, I'll assume he'll follow it.

Althior uses Wind on Battle Ant B, back row - Special Damage: Bombard (No effect, Battle Ant B is no longer stunned) Scarecrow A uses Free Hit on Benji (No effect, Scarecrow A no longer stunned) Benji nails one of the remaining three crows. The crow continues to caw at Xander. It gives Thormanil a headache, and he goes on a greed-fueled frenzy, tearing up the ground and loosening up many lost coins in the process. The remaining birds are slaughtered all at once in a mess of blood and feathers The Battle Ant and one of the Scarecrows shake it off, as the battle continues.

"That sounds like a good division, Skrall, but I think Poletad should go with the second party. Arthur and Nyx have Healin' Staves, and Cronk's best at bashin' anyway."

"If we're tryin' to hit all three, I'd come with 'ya, but I dunno Cronk's decision on that bit."

Atramor looks up at the ceiling, as if to see Wren, then just grumbles to himself as her voice trails off. "I would suggest Nyx, Cronk, Arthur, Alexis, Haldor, and Felton - that is, if you're feelin' Orderly - go to the cemetery, in case any undead need takin' care of. If she gets undead reinforcements for any later assaults, half of us will be useless. Skrall, Thothwick, Hoke, Dyric, Gnash, Poletad and I could go to the Hovels, mainly because every man counts, and Gnash is goin' there anyway. If Felton's more Chaotic now, he probably shouldn't be headin' over there, and should probably be switched with Poletad." "...Unless ya' feel like we could hit all three spires. Hell, I had my doubts about savin' Ella in the palace, and we pulled that off." Atramor nods to Arthur, taking the Scarf of Misfortune and the Ancient Crown, equipping the latter in place of his Counterstrike Gloves, which he gives to Arthur. I don't think you counted my purchase of the Grating Stone, Zepher. I should have only 41 gold due to it. Sorry for all the item borrowing/trading, by the way.

"Actually, Arthur, I was wonderin' if I could borrow that, and also maybe your scarf. When used with this whip, they could be real beneficial. Could offer you these gloves in return, obviously all for the duration of the Quest."

Atramor shrugs. "I think aoi are those blue guys that run the Ji Pei. Architects or somethin' or other. Ziegfrieds are a buncha' deranged wizards. I wouldn't get involved with 'em," he added, absently touching the scar on his cheek. Atticus' sword seemed to have kept it from healing as easily as other injures. To his surprise, McCafferey spoke up to Vipera. 'Perhaps the Plane of Azazot? I am unsure as to whether your kind are at all attuned to it. It is possible, given this Court of Demon's, and Sycamore's close relationship to both Abraxas and Mephisto, that they may draw their energy there instead.' Atramor merely frowned. "You been runnin' off to the library again?" She didn't seem inclined to respond, a 'yes' in his book.

Glad to hear you're getting better, Zepher. Not so glad on that other part.

Atramor blinks as he's handed the Chicken Leg. McCafferey makes a vague scoff-like noise on his shoulder. After staring for a few moments, he chuckles, devouring it at once. His own chicken rolls her eyes, but says nothing, while the witch feels his endurance increase. He then glances over at Vipera. "How's Triad? And Mallelio? No word?"

Round Four of Corn Maze Battle Benji uses Crossbow of the Pongcanis on Scary Crow F, back row - Critical Hit (((11 x 2) + 22) x 2 = 88 ice/fire/dark/wind damage, Scary Crow F KO'd) Xander uses Precision Bow on Scary Crow E, back row - Special Damage: Shriek (Xander is afraid) Docken uses Darksteel Crossbow on Scary Crow G, back row - Hit (25 + 10 = 35 damage, Scary Crow G is blinded) Thormanil uses Frozen Sabre on Scary Crow D, front row - Steal (6 gold stolen) Althior uses Wind on Battle Ant B, back row - Meditate (+1 ether) Scarecrow A uses Free Hit on Benji (No effect, blinded) Scarecrow B uses Free Hit on Xander (No effect, blinded) Feral Hen uses Free Hit on Docken - (8/2 - 25 = 0 damage) Docken counterstrikes Feral Hen - (25/2 = 13 damage) Benji is on a killing spree. Scary Crow E shrieks at Xander, but seeing as how the vast majority of the party is in the back row anyway, nothing happens. Docken lands another blinding bolt, this time in Scary Crow G. Thormanil takes the time to pick up some coins on the ground, possibly dropped by the last party? Althior gives him a suspicious look as he continues to meditate, as the Battle Ant stares on. 8 enemies remain.

Fixed, but Thormanil still takes damage. It's just less damage, unless I've missed something. That's what I said, Benji attacked Scarecrow B.

Don't see any reason for Xander or Althior to switch targets, so off we go. Round Three of Corn Maze Battle Benji uses Golden Handcannon on Scarecrow B, back row - Critical Hit (((9 x 2) + 22) x 2 = 80 light damage, Scarecrow B is poisoned) Xander uses Precision Bow on Scary Crow H, back row - Hit (12 + 19 + 2 = 33 damage, Scary Crow H is KO'd) Thormanil uses Frozen Sabre on Scary Crow C, front row - Extra Critical Hit ((9 x 3) + 22 = 49 damage, Scary Crow C is KO'd) Docken uses Darksteel Crossbow on Scarecrow A, back row - Hit (25 + 10 = 35 damage, Scarecrow A is blinded) Althior uses Wind on Battle Ant B, back row - Meditate (+1 ether) Scary Crow D is stunned Scary Crow E use Free Hit on Benji - (6 - 7 = 0 damage) Benji counterstrikes Scary Crow E - (22/2 = 11 damage) Scary Crow F uses Free Hit on Xander - (6/2 - 5 = 0 damage) Scary Crow G uses Free Hit on Thormanil - (6 - 3 = 3 damage) Feral Hen uses Free Hit on Docken - (8 - 25 = 0 damage) Docken counterstrikes Feral Hen - (25/2 = 13 damage) Benji fires another destructive shot that burns a hole right through Scarecrow B. Xander and Thormanil each take out a crow, while Docken cripples the other scarecrow. Althior meditates, and the birds once again pile free hits to (mostly) no avail. 8 enemies remain.

I agree with you, but Quest 53 is the finale to a Questline that's been revolving around this sort of stuff. If there's any place for this kind of roleplay, it's there.

Round Two of Corn Maze Battle Benji uses Golden Handcannon on Scarecrow A, back row - Critical Hit (((9 x 2) + 22) x 2 = 80 light damage, Scarecrow A is poisoned) Xander uses Precision Bow on Scary Crow H, back row - Aim Hit (12 + 19 + 2 = 33 damage) Docken uses Darksteel Crossbow on Scarecrow B, back row - Aim (10 damage, Scarecrow B is blinded) Thormanil uses Frozen Sabre on Scary Crow D, front row - Hit (32 = 32 damage, Scary Crow H is stunned, no assassination) Althior uses Wind on Battle Ant B, back row - Damage (8/2 - 4 = 0 damage) Scary Crow C is stunned Scary Crow E use Free Hit on Benji - (6 - 7 = 0 damage) Benji counterstrikes Scary Crow E - (22/2 = 11 damage) Scary Crow F uses Free Hit on Xander - (6/2 - 5 = 0 damage) Scary Crow G uses Free Hit on Docken - (6/2 - 20 = 0 damage) Docken counterstrikes Scary Crow G - (25/2 = 13 damage) Feral Hen uses Free Hit on Thormanil - (8 - 3 = 5 damage) Benji fires a destructive shot that burns a hole right through Scarecrow A. Xander lands a solid hit on one of the crows, and Docken fires a bolt right through the eye of Scarecrow B, blinding it for the next three rounds. Thormanil stuns another crow, Althior narrowly avoids getting bitten by the fiery ant, and the birds land mostly ineffective free hits. Enemies Scarecrow A *Poisoned* Hiss shriek. "It burnsssses!"

Just noticed the crows should be too Scared to attack Docken....not that it matters. I'll be honest, I don't see in the point in having it when your SP is so obscenely high, you'd be better off with a Tricorne.

Atramor rolls his eyes at the clerk, but merely chuckles at Cronk as he hands over the 75 gold in exchange for the Grating Stone. "I have the cash, just figured it'd be worth a shot at hagglin'." The rounding down of the Paladin's purchase wasn't lost on him. He didn't care much for diplomacy, but it had its perks... "Shall we head out, then?"

Continuity error, Arthur already sold that dagger to Anwyl.

Atramor sniffed the odd brew, and stowed it in his cloak. "Thanks, Cronk...s'pose the important thing is we beat the crap outta them." He glanced towards the counter of supplies, and picked up a Grating Stone, examining it. "Could ya' do 60 gold for this? Can't imagine it's too much of a stretch, I nearly just died savin' your megablocks..."

Benji and Docken's respective firing goes wide, and the Scarecrows get peckish for some reason, devouring a pair of crows. Xander gets a tiny fireball lobbed at him from afar, but his armor soaks up most of the burns. Thormanil slashes one of the crows, and though he fails to eliminate it instantly, it's left reeling. Althior sends a whirlwind at one of the ants, tearing it to bits. The birds swarm the party, leaving only a few small cuts on Thormanil. Ten enemies remain.

"Get up, fool." Atramor grumbled, sitting up and rubbing the side of his head. His last memory was being hit twice by the warrior's flail....had he been knocked out? A quick look around the standing heroes and corpses made it obvious enough. McCafferey's feathery head loomed above him, standing atop the shop's counter. He grabbing the chicken, stuffing her on his shoulder, annoyed, and stood, taking but a moment to heal himself, Hans, and Cronk. Thothwick was mysteriously absent. "Aye, fine, let's see what you have," he half-hissed at the clerk. "You owe us, in any case."

Just remember my opinion won't reflect Atramor's.

That's odd, I'm still able to change my display name.

If it makes you feel any better, put a note next to one of your Phoenix Essences that says 'Reserved for Atramor Gibbin'. We'll need them more in the perma-KO battles anyway.
