"'Work his charms?' My story might not have been...great, but at least I didn't threaten him. Now we're gonna be tailed by guards the whole quest...and no. Where I come from, nobody'd think less of ya' for takin' part in the trade, but for the most part they were just too expensive, both to own and to keep fed."

Is it a possibility we could ever see a dedicated Scheherazade quest? The book in Quest 44 is curious, and of course there's Sham Poo to learn more about. Or are they just going to remain one of those endless mysteries that's always there, but nobody ever finds out the full truth about? :thumbup: I've tried out the Photoshop advice you gave in the QM Lounge. The difference is unbelievable.

Atramor practically hisses between his teeth as Boomingham pulls him backwards, but merely crosses his arms, glaring at the back of the Paladin's head. Old man was going to get an earful as soon as they left.

Atramor rolls his eyes, tossing 10 coins onto the desk. "You get the rest after I find out what we need to know."

"Then no. Look, do you have record of any other ships from Eubric in the past few months?"

"Depends. Are ya' gonna charge me for it?"

"....Uh-huh. Well, my inquiry is if I could see the shippin' records. It hasn't been fulfilled yet. They beat us here, it had to have been earlier than today."

Atramor's not that type of Rogue. "Why of course, good sir, we could save your dearly beloved son. I'm sure you can just picture him....now, exactly how much is such a picture worth, my dear fellow? You must understand our services simply cannot come without good compensation..." "...So, I'm assumin' ya' want him alive, then?"

"...The, er, the point is, could we see the shippin' records...?"

We're getting quite a bit of information whether Hervi's scum or not - not to say I don't believe he is. Hopefully this'll untangle the mess of contacts and aliases and he's surrounded himself in. Vote: Hervi Pudding-Head (Hinckley).

Atramor stumbled forward, wondering why the hell Boomingham thought him talking to the dockmaster would be any better than him doing so, even with his vast distrust of greenskins. Well, too late for it now...he cleared his throat, and addressed the orc. "...Hello. Er, me and my group are lookin' for a group of fugitive soldiers. Aye, they, uh, they fled in the recent attack on Charis, we were hired to track them down. We managed to tail 'em to Eubric, but, well, they slipped off, and we, uh, believe they may have landed here. They're wearin' the colors of Charis - er, that is, blue, red and silver. Ya' seen anyone like that? Could we see some sorta record about ships sailin' in from Eubric...? It's a matter of life and death. Er, not that they're dangerous or anythin'! Uh, Blackhood here, aye, he's, well, one of those soldiers owes him a lot of money, ya' see. They're, um, both impulsive gamblers, and, well, he needed the money, ya' see, 'cuz, ah... " He glanced around hurriedly, and waved his hand towards Nyx. "-'cuz, 'cuz his only daughter's sick, ya' see! And, er...well, okay, ya' can't tell, 'cuz, er, it's a....a mental thing. Aye, she, uh....she hates elves. Right, uh, goes completely berserk when elves are around, bloody homicidal rampage...oh, wait, hell. Er, well, the reason we have an elf in the party is 'cuz, uh....he's...he's my second cousin! Aye. And, uh, he- he fought with Lyssa, here, in the Orcish War! Aye, they were the ultimate destructive force on the b-...no, that's not gonna...er, the Second Orcish War, my mistake. It, uh, it took place in...Dastan! Right, aye, they fought orcs in Dastan together! So, uh, that's why he's here. And,er, if you're wonderin' why orcs were in Dastan...it's...it's the dragons. Aye. The dragons hired the orcs to take over Dastan. But, uh...Garlin, here, he...he didn't take the offer, he's a reliable guy. Right, he...he he actually killed the dragon leader! Got right up to the bastard and lopped his head off...and, er, if you're wonderin' how he's still alive...he...he overpowered another dragon, and flew out of the mountains! And, uh, he landed- he landed in Salamanda. Where he, uh, he- he came across Elpis, here! And they...they got the Golden Turkey Leg! And, er, sold it. So they got gold, and, er, they sailed to....Charis, right! And, uh, Lyssa and Trout were there too, they, er, they finished the last of the orcs. And, er, I was there too. And...that's where we got hired. And...and that's why we're here." "...So, uh, that's why we need this shippin' record."

The voice of reason. I think this is the only story in the world where a group of heroes come across a dragon sitting on a hoard of treasure and give it more gold.

Love it, love it, love it. I'm watching ESB at the moment, the board is an awesome representation of Hoth, and the larger figures are fantastic in themselves. I laughed at the Rebel Queen piece's build. I hope to see boards for the other episodes!

(Regular avatar) Frodo assumes the Nazgul are the worst danger at Weathertop. He's sorely mistaken.

Right, sorry, Bergulf.

Quite happy that we managed to nail Gerrid, but Gofraid and Mursi will be missed. It does indeed seem Gofraid was our vig, and was blocked - the serial killer's obviously the cloakless figure with the longsword, while the cloaked figure with the shortsword's the scum killer. It really concerns me that Gofraid was both blocked and killed the same night - was it just lucky for the scum that they hit the vigilante, or did they know about it? Interesting. What makes you think Chief Mursi was vanilla, Bergulf?

There's also this in the Statistics page.

All it'll take is one hit with the Twin Broadswords, with overkill.

Those are some high stakes. But isn't it still his item?

Also, isn't Johon trying to sell the same scroll?

Sandy, I think you forgot to reduce the Tangleweed's health on Round Three in the Fields of Glory.

Atramor takes the keystone, looks over it briefly, and stuffs it deep into his cloak. "I say we all head to the dockmaster's as well. That little demonstration is more than enough to make me think there'll be a fight or two here."

That's why I'm very much looking forward to two characters.

Pretzel and this guy would get along reaaaal well. On another note, that is a hell of a lot of greenskins in Quest 44.

I got from this- As a response to- I thought at first it was just an issue with the new board weird vocal chord disease going around, but it seems you did so on purpose. Or not...?
