...Why'd I put five Snapshots in that squad?? I checked back and the ones that were there at first were only three. Sorry. They will only have three from here on in. Round Five of Requiem for a Machine >Mortimer revives Kellim >Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Cutlass) - Critical Hit (53x2/2 = 53 damage, Dispatcher melting down) >Avina no longer stunned Keliim vs. Snapshout Squad (Ori Axe) - Hit (36 damage) Calamity vs. Blackout B (Crook) - Miss (No effect) Dispatcher cursed (-10% max...er, damage, I guess. ) Mortimer revives Kellim so that he can ram his axe into one of the Snapshots. Annienal impales the Dispatcher...but the machine pulls back off of her blade. The automaton's singular optic begins blinking, and red electricity begins arcing around it as it heats up. "WARNING. ACTIVATING DISPATCH PROTOCOL. RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION: EVACUATE IMMEDIATE VICINITY BEFORE CORE MELTDOWN." "What?" yelled Avina, still struggling to regain her senses. "Did it say 'meltdown'? This thing's more like the Sentinel than I thought....we'll need to do more than just deplete its health, beat that thing into the dirt before it blows up in our faces. Dare I suggest you destroy it more...permanently, this time?"

I think Friends' minidolls spawned this brand of off-shoot themes that are designed specifically for girls and that's worsening the divide. That said, I have noticed in the City sets there's female cops/firefighters all over the place now. They're doing better than they were a few years ago where there were maybe one-two female figs per wave of a theme, usually in the biggest, most expensive set.

Everyone repeats. Same Order

I should be nimble. Atramor attempts to summon the Cloud Gigas (Electric 9) and Storm Elemental (Electric 8) from the back row. Battle Order Atramor Also, take note for this round Atramor's got his Pheles Kris equipped.

Atramor held his hand out, nearly a dozen Decamon cards hovering and spinning around his fingers as a small army spawned out of them, proceeding to wreak havoc on the enemies. The Pegasus, Dryad, and Woodwose all grouped up on the Sword Mob, trampling the two dwarves and tearing them apart with plant-y limbs. The Phoenix, Treant, Storm Elemental, and Sandman all took turns pounding on Spear Mob B until its forces were destroyed, too. The Carcinos, Stone Golem, and Cloud Gigas all then turned, piling onto Spear Mob A. All the creatures then dissipated, their cards all flying neatly back into Atramor's deck. The drafter ignored the destruction his creations had wrought, stuck the Feather of Lithe into the band of his hat in the back row, and then strode towards the Mythril Drill, cloak flapping behind him. Dramatically. "I've got the drill. Can ya'll kill those cannons?"

"Eckmar, stay put in the back row, you are not...uh...in good shape. Bain, Inki, attack Morticia from the back row. Elnath, come with me to fight Gomex from the back. We are almost rid of these...creatures." Miderun swung at Gomex from the back row. Battle Order Kiray Elnath Miderun Bobby Inki Bain Na'im Eckmar

As the Dispatcher becomes critically damage, its odd, energized eye seems to glow and blink out of control. It appears whatever is serving as the thing's power source is going crazy.

What happens if we all just leave the enemies in this area, WBD?

I knew there was something I forgot to update yesterday, sorry guys, I've been super busy. "Traditionally each member of the Vauno held a title, something that reflected their role in the group. The vindicator is-" "A force of might and....and force, that imposes what is necessary through diplomatic means or religious fury!" "We have business here. You needn't know the details." "Pssh, come on, we can probably trust the saviors of Baltarok, yeah? We're investigation what looks like plans for an assassination attempt against the clan leaders. Unfortunately all our leads are drying up. We thought there was one here, but it was a bust." "I'm sure this conspiracy is real. There's scraps of evidence, and I can feel it in my gut...unfortunately, we don't have the information to do much about it yet. For the time being, we are returning back to Baltarok's mainland to deliver what we have to the clan leaders. We'll likely remain to protect them." Olmstyr sighs. "We might have need of you heroes again soon, but for now it seems we both have our own goals to attend to." "Ooh, you know the royal ginger boytoy?" "Daske!" Olmstyr exclaims, sounding a bit exasperated. "Bastala is working well with Karstaal, she's taken over reconstruction duties of Imaestym and now leads the city. There have been a few disgruntled mercenaries come knocking on her door from time to time, seems they haven't forgotten her stint as Irlaz's clan leader, but Haldor's put them in their place. Imaestym being so close to the bridge he's also been quite helpful in making sure things go smoothly with human merchants." "Speaking of Imaestym, we really should probably get back on the road. Sucks that our mission failed, but we'll have to keep our eyes open for these assassins." "Good luck on your current venture, heroes, wherever the path may take you. I can already tell you're going to the Broken Tribes...this town isn't much more than an outpost. Just be wary of anything you find there. Nobody in those forsaken clans knows what you've done for our race...nor will they care. Taroksh kon ezn dir droog, Staalcund."

Round Two of Requiem for a Machine >Mortimer vs. Blackout A (Tritech) - Deflected Damage (No deflect, 10/2 - 58 = 0 damage) >Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Cutlass) - Critical Hit (53x2/2 = 53 damage) >Avina vs. Blackout B twice (Z&S) - Chrysopeia (Gold Bar) Keliim vs. Blackout A (Ori Axe) - Extra Critical Hit (86x2 = 172 damage, Blackout A KO'd) Keliim vs. Blackout B (Ori Axe) - Hit (36x2 = 52 damage) Calamity vs. Blackout A B (Crook) - Shield: Magical Burst (No effect, blackout) Kellim smashes his axe into both Blackout automatons, destroying one, while Annie duels with the Dispatcher, its dual energy blade/electrostaff proving quite useless against her considerable defenses, letting her land a deep hit on the machine. Calamity attempts to unleash a blast of magical energy, but she's a bit early. Luckily, the blackout lifts shortly afterward. The party can hear distant arguing of what's surely Wally and Ervie from elsewhere in the cavern.

I should be lucky as well. Atramor, without the use of his eyes but with nearly every other reflex honed to a point thanks to the consumables, blindly shuffled through his deck, feeling the ethereal eneergies in each card to identify and try and summon the Pegasus (Luminous 8) and Cloud Gigas (Electric 9) from the back row. "Me and whatever creatures I can conjure up are gonna go hit that drill."

Henry Awards are soul-bound to the hero, I think.

Star Elves and Sun Elves are fairly numerous, but there are very few Moon Elves left.

Atramor inhales his Smelling Salts and after a moment of hesitation gnaws on the Earthwyrm Fang from the back row. If we move into a location, do we have to kill every enemy in order to disable these timers? "If ya' have some bombs, now'd be the time mates, these mobs are just gonna keep buildin' up."

For a basic attack, (Level 11 + WP (5 + 20)) x 2 = 52 damage.

They are immune to magic - which includes elemental damage.

I don't think the Hall is the place to establish random NPC background.

"We're doing our job. After you all solved the bridge crisis the united clans managed to get a lot done. Imaestym is already prosperous again thanks to Karstaal and Bastala, and I'm sure you saw the work Gor is doing. Since we have an actual diplomatic relationship with the outside world, Tarvalk thought it wise to have agents within Baltarok to keep the peace." "The Vauno." "Which is us!" "It's an ancient tradition. The Vauno were once a very small religious group...independent of clans, they moved about doing Tarok's will, bettering all our species. But the last died protecting Tarokai." "By that he means "the last died in a spectacular last stand against a hundred pissed-off heroes", hehe." "The Vauno were wiped out under the caverns of Nathuz. But six heroes lived." "Quite well, but things are very busy around here. I've hardly had a moment to spare since Tarvlk assigned me to the Vauno. Yet I suppose it's appropriate. Never felt comfortable serving in the traditional army. A typical soldier wouldn't've called on humans for help." Olmstyr smiled. "It's pleasing, however, that most of the problems we solve are just diplomatic issues that arise between merchants and the locals, or sometimes between clans...but when the need arises, well, we make short work of those who would cross Baltarok." "That's why you're the Strakvaun, Olmstyr. The vindicator doesn't take crap from anybody, and-" "He is the Strakvaun because the role of Marykvaun had already been determined. Dragoons are supposed to be mediators, Daske, which is why you are the arbiter." "-that's why Tra-Serral is the Kahzvaun, the executor, because-" "They know why."

I wouldn't call it a matter of debate. I think everyone has the perspective to draw their own conclusions about Lind.

Round One of Requiem for a Machine >Keliim throws Demeter Bomb >Mortimer vs. Blackout A (Tritech) - Shield: Aura (Draws all attacks) >Annienal swaps Greaves for Fellwings >Avina vs. Blackout B twice (Z&S) - Special Damage: BLACKOUT (All magic disabled) Keliim vs. Dispatcher (Ori Axe) - Miss (No effect) >Calamity vs. Dispatcher (Darkness) - Spell (No effect, blackout) The party takes a step back, and Kellim chucks a bomb that wipes out nearly every automaton, but the flowery explosion throws the barbarian off-balance. Mortimer summons his strength as he once did in this very room, and steps out in front to protect the party. Annienal strips off her leg armor and decides to wear the wings of a dead dragon in a daring fashion statement. One of the oddly-glowing automatons raises a strange device into the air, and an oppressive shudder goes down the spines of each member of the party. Calamity's spell fizzles out just as she casts it. "What in the world is that stuff? I need to get a sample of some of that."

"How about we just not hit the dragon," retorts Miderun, moving to the front row to club Pubert. She glances a bit critically at Na'im moving to the party's bearded wonder. "I do not think we need that Vahlsar on his feet and whining again...or at least not until we're done here. Na'im, can you Remedy Kiray? She is the only one who can knock a chip out of that iardarau." Bain switches to attack Wednesday from the back row. Inki takes over attacking Morticia from the front. Elnath repeats. Same Order

A letter appeared on a desk in the Chateau de Shadeaux, delivered by an ethereal bird that dissipated as quickly as it had arrived. 'Joining Crescent Union Don't like politics but you seem like decent guys I cast five votes for Jun Ji Pei to become king Will swing by to buy stuff later -AG '

Good to have more Clerics around.
