I was waiting to see if anyone else expressed interest in some of the loot. "What 'mischief' do you speak of, beyond wanting to save a friend of hers from Latte?" Loot Miderun - Vest of Faded Trials, Mead, Grand Tonic Bobby - Spesialian Helmet, Grand Potion, Potion Kiray - Spesialian Spiked Pauldrons, Spesialian Shield, Mead Germ - Spesialian Helmet, Smelling Salts, 10 gold Na'im - Nimbus Broomstick, Grand Tonic, Potion Mhinak - Gauntlets of the Legionnaire, Grand Potion, 10 gold

I wasn't kind enough to tell you ahead of time when we'd be arguing, though. I won't make that mistake again: Day Seven sound good?

I was going to argue you seeing this as a foregone conclusion but barring something huge happening (very unlikely on Day One) you're probably right. Someone's gotta be the unlucky Day One lynch.

Not sure what else to add to that. I can see the reasoning but you can't seem to decide if it's a defense or not. Also, KOTOR2 is way better

Jeez, you're trying really hard to look like an expert.

Camorea snorted. "You should be impressed. Lady Luck herself mastered the techniques I pass onto my girls. Now she was a fine lady." "Not really. We dealt with a few outside. Haven't seen any of them, no, but I've heard of the strange attacks going around, too." Avina shoots a very unimpressed look at Calamity. "Maybe..." Tiring of the repeating message, Avina plunged her head into the Goliath's chest, ripping out what looked a smoking roll of thin metal. "Interesting. This is a Vibrataphone recording. A new sort of technology...also made by the Ji Pei through their front company, Tritech..." The mass at Annienal's feet stirred, and suddenly Reg Goldjaw sat up, running his hand through his blood-matted hair. "...gah, damn..."

Miderun narrowed her eyes at Mhinak, and flexed her fingers as she were practicing tightening them around the dwarf's neck. "Col azt tan dir arau, Vahlsar," she remarked bitingly. "You have no place among heroes, fool." "And yet you would ally with them. Decide your mind, or we will for you."

"Aye, the people on the levels above don't seem to have any shortage of the stuff, but ya' can't say the same for your other cities down here. It's affectin' the outside world at this point, even."

I'm right with you Maurice. Blacktron won't have a chance against the slickest space cowboy in the galaxy.

"You are gullible and stupid, dwarf. Bain has helped us and the elves have done nothing but stand in our way." Miderun glared down at the corpses of the Star Elves, wiping some accumulated blood off of her arm. "We should take the second door. It says 'you do not want to be in here', but I think it is a trick. At least these elves finally stood and fought us."

"Actually, I will handle the Potion, Bobby, can you attack El-Aquist?" Bain and Elnath (with a darkness spell) both attack El-Aquist from the back row. Miderun uses a Potion on Kiray from the back row. Battle Order Na'im Miderun Elnath Kiray Bain Bobby Germ Mhinak Inki

I've kitted Atramor out to switch classes as often as I want with no drawbacks. He uses one of the most common weapon classes and all of his artifacts can be worn by anyone.

Atramor doesn't bother awaiting permission and immediately summons an enormous Aquaphant (Aquatic 6) to spew gallons of water all over the fire.

The Pliskeen race are basically Mass Effect's asari. Can't seem to figure out my character's third reference.

I've been setting up some overarching villains but I don't like overexposing them. Those two at the end of Quest 129 you can expect to see more of.

I forgot about that. But that was Quest 40, before the deadline, unfortunately.

I think I voted the Rat Civil War in Quest 68 as my favorite battle.

"Germ, use a Potion on Kiray, will you? She needs to attack El-Aquist - she's the best chance of killing him."

I forgot to put the 145 gold in the loot division, can you divide this too, Emjajoas? "Control yourself," snapped Avina, looking unamused at Kellim's little episode. "We don't need you turning on us in the midst of battle. I'm unsure what to do next. We have Reg and these machines to examine, though." "My thanks," remarked the alchemist, drinking Annie's potion. The ogre bouncer appears to have been knocked unconscious, but he doesn't appear to be seriously hurt. "Don't worry, Trovsty's tough. He'll be fine." The Lucky Ladies appeared to have made short work of a dozen other automatons just outside. The noise seems to have scared off most of the other passerby. "Well thank you, sir," replied the wererabbit suggestively, having returned to human form. "We rarely demonstrate our prowess in the company of others, but I suppose you're an exception." "Hard to say. One of them mentioned that they were the 'Hovels' unit...how many were there? Around three dozen for just this one district of Eubric? There could be well over two hundred automatons in the city..." There aren't any visible tracks outside. Avina helps Calamity poke around the Goliath. It's clearly more advanced than the others, a necessity considering the size of the cannon on its back. Avina rips a shard of armor off the automaton. "...I'll have to do some research on this when we're done here. Anyway...Heroica has few direct enemies...according to my files. Automatons are strictly Ji Pei technology. It's possible that this has something to do with your organization having a hand in the recent coup in Xu, but-" The Goliath suddenly spits out a mouthful of thick black smoke. Something in the depths of its chest cavity, behind the ether core that was been pried out, began to spin. A static-y, garbled message started to play: "Eubric Knight Audio One. Stop. Heroes. Stop. Do not give into your pride. Stop. My machines are carrying out needed justice. Stop. They do not kill, and will end crime in Eubric. Stop. They are without greed or hate or bias. Stop. They are incorruptible. Stop. They will exceed you. Stop. Eubric Knight Audio One. Stop." The recording continued to play on repeat. ​The proprietress on the second floor scoffed. "Haw. Someone doesn't like you, heroes."

Er...why is Kiray KO'd? According to my math, 17x2.5 = 42.5, even if it's rounded up (I always forget), 43 - 29 = 14 damage, she should still be standing. And like I said in my last post, El-Aquist should've ended last round at 185 health, so he should be down to 147 now.

To the mines, I think.

Diamond Dodd here, confirming my hole. I mean, role.

Or if you screw up and accidentally make your investigator neutral. That would've been just silly.
