I'll be holding my breath.

Interesting. Only slightly less badass than Drafter Atramor. I'm not sure there's enough...going on. When I make a new version of Atramor I always try and cram as much miscellaneous crap in there as possible - giant hat, at least one cloth accessory, some kind of bandolier...something to I guess round out the minifgure and make it stick out. A lot of heroes use oversize hats/hair or capes or armor or something. There's a lot of choices with what LEGO puts out nowadays. Armor obviously isn't the way to go here so if you have some kind of cape that'd be cool. Consider throwing in some dark red to go with her makeup, because there's got to be some color in there somewhere with such a simple torso design. I'm not totally sure about the hair choice. Neither the color nor I guess relatively small-ness of it goes super well with the solid black/white color scheme. Maybe have her in a pose where she's taking off/putting on a black fedora? Hard to do but it might work. When Lind looks less like disheveled con man trying to cosplay as Link, at that point you can critique the fashion choices of other heroes.

Was it?

"Maybe. Na'im's poking probably doesn't help. And I don't know how to fight nature..."

Quest #138: The Real Quest #69

I meant to remove the immune to instant kill clause from the wights to make them relatively killable despite their insane health when I edited their special, so I'll fix that now...you're welcome. Round Two of Apocalypse B>Hoke (Melville, Flagpole) - Dragon Aid Shield: Dragon's Wrath - High Assault (212x2/2 = 212 damage, 52x2x2 = 208 fire damage to all Bow enemies) S>Em (Sicarii, Tritech) - Aim Critical Hit (60 damage, Sicarii poisoned by 17 and cursed) B>Dyric (Skeleton Horde A, Longbow) - Damage Shield: Grim Reaper (No instant kill, 200 gold stolen) S>Thalion (Chemists, Despair) - Hit Enhanced Hit (132x2x2/2 = 264 damage) S>Thalion (Chemists, Despair) - Bargain Enhancement (+1 WP) S-Erik (Sicarii, Sleeper) - Damage Extra Critical Hit (36 damage, Sicarii asleep) S>Guts (Remedy) - (Thalion remedied) B>Guts (Skeleton Mob, Edge) - Hit Shield: Mixture (Bravado Brew) B>Illdria (Wight Cluster B/Skeleton Horde A, Rapier/Main-gauche) - Dual Damage Shield: Slice and Dice (121x2x2/2 = 242 damage, Wight Cluster B enamored and slowed, no instant kill, 121x2/2 = 121 damage, Skeleton Horde A enamored and slowed, no instant kill) B-Illdria (Wight Cluster B/Skeleton Horde A, Rapier/Main-gauche) - Riposte Dual Hit (51x2x2 = 204 damage to Wights, no instant kill, 41x2 = 82 damage to Skeletons, no instant kill) S>Zaises (Chemists, Mace) - Damage Extra Critical Furious Hit (105x2 = 210 damage) B>Torc (Skeleton Horde, fire) - Breath Breath (52x2 = 104 damage) S>Guts (Potion) - (+10 health to Hybros) S>Guts (Chemists, Edge) - Critical Hit Shield: Mixture (Baffle Bomb) B>Hybros (Gold Ring) - (Wight Cluster B enamored with Hybros) B>Hybros (Wight Cluster B, Reaper) - Critical Hit Critical Hit (69/2 = 35 damage, Wight Cluster B poisoned by 77) B>Hybros (Potion) - (+10 health to Thalion) B>Hybros (Wight Cluster B, Reaper) - Chrysopeia Critical Hit (69/2 = 35 damage, Wight Cluster B poisoned by 77) B-Hoke (Wight Cluster B, Order) - Special Damage Special Damage: Unearthly Screech (Hoke stunned, cursed and afraid) Chemists, Sicarii, and Hoke cursed Sicarii poisoned by 17 Wights poisoned by 154 Free Hits Soonavask vs. Hoke - (20/2 - 80 = 0 damage) Kaldr Hringer +1 to each mob (-8 ether) Lich Swarm summoned to Bow (-5 ether) Hoke jump stabs Melville again, and Torc bathes the enemies on the Apocalypse's bow in flame - but Melville absorbs the flames, healing him almost completely from her companion's attack. She focuses her fire on the skeletons, turning one or two of them into ash. Illdria dives over to the bow and cripples the hordes of undead there, demonstrating the marauder's skill. Hybros flaps his wings to gain some speed, sliding the last few feet thanks to the wet deck, stabbing two of the wights in the back while Illdria keeps them distracted from the front, poison pouring out of the monsters as a result. Dyric pick pockets a lot of gold from the admiral while he's not looking, despite the steadily increasing danger the party is in. Thalion puts Despair to good use, the undead chemists gripped by the terror he felt not long ago, turning their fear into power and dealing out significant damage. In approval, the artisan carefully adjusts the staff for greater power. Erik, wary after their nearly fatal attack, jumps right into the mob of confused Crimson assassin, bopping each of them on the head with the Sleeper, skilfully putting each of them to sleep. His eyes fall on Zasies who's busy with the chemists, swinging her mace into one and sending his shattered bones flying out of his clothes and into the churning sea below. Guts whips up some extra explosives. Melville continues pouring all his ether into maintaining his undead army, summoning a few liches to help out on the bow. It's going to be a brutal fight. "Hah!...well yes of course. We are very hard to kill. Only way is chop into pieces or...maybe throw into volcano...." Zasies trailed off as if estimating her chances of survival in a volcano. It's fine, it'll be a few days before we reach the end game of this battle. "Jules betrayed us. Betrayed the fold that he brought me into: he was his own undoing. There are some things that even time can never wash away." "I'll see what I can do, but we're gonna need a miracle if we want to take down Melville...we're gonna need a miracle if we even want to take out any of these undead. If you've got any useful bombs, now's the time, everyone," she suggests, nodding to the party. Apocalypse Survive: 8 rounds There are three fronts.

Party leader, please create a battle order. Good luck.

There's only three. I mentioned in the first battle I'm running it like if you get a successful assassination on a mob one enemy dies. The entire point of my using the mob mechanic is to prevent AoE damage from wiping the entire enemy team at once. And yes, slowed will prevent all free hits.

"Hmm..."' "Bobby, maybe the kitten would like some of that sushi plate?" Miderun frowns as the forest murmurs in defiance, and the roots dies suddenly. She grabs the dwarf by the back of the shirt to try and stop him as he heads for the tree. "Stop for a second Mhinak, I get the feeling that the...forest...is upset with us, and if these glowing flowers are any indication, we do not want to make it angry."

I figured it was just an inherent part of mobs. I only listed it in the most recent battle because I'm using the triple front mechanic along with it.

Atramor nodded in agreement to Schrooft, turning to Ellaria. "Aye, I'm sure everyone'll find their way to the bar eventually."

Yep.

So...it looks like Jump Hit activates on the hero's next turn, so I'm assuming that as Hoke has two turns it'll take the place of his attack on Veken. Round One of Apocalypse B>Hybros (Tiger Balm, Melville) - (Melville immune to all effects) B>Hybros (Ancient Skeleton Mob, Reaper) - Chrysopeia Shield: Mixture (Wyvern's Breath) B>Hoke (Melville, Flagpole) - Special Damage Jump Hit (Hoke in the air) B>Hoke finishes Jump Hit - (251x2/2 = 251 damage) S>Hybros (Baffle Bomb, Starboard) - (15 damage, Starboard enemies confused) S>Hybros (Novice Legion, Justice) - Special Damage Chrysopeia (Gold Bar) S>Em (Chemists, Tritech) - Special Damage Aim (16x2 = 32 damage, Chemists cursed) S>Dyric (Crimson Novices, Bladerang) - Special Dodge Lethal Hit (39x2 = 78 damage to Starboard front, no assassination) S-Erik (Sicarii Squad, Sleeper) - Special Damage Damage (Confused, redirected to Veken, 150 damage) P>Guts (Sleep Bomb, Port) - (15 damage, Port enemies asleep) S>Guts (Hrostulf, Edge) - Shield Shield: Mixture (Mystic Bomb) S-Illdria (Rapier/Balanced Main-gauche, Hrostulf/Novice Legion) - Dual Special Damage Dual Hit (51x2x4= 408 damage to Hrostulf, 41x2 = 82 damage to Novices, no instant kill, Novices enamored) S-Illdria (Rapier/Balanced Main-gauche, Hrostulf/Novice Legion) - Shield Shield: Slice and Dice (121x2x2 = 484 damage to Novices, 968 to Hrostulf, Novices slowed, Hrostulf KO'd) S-Zaises (Chemist Mob, Mace) - Extra Critical Furious Hit Extra Critical Furious Hit (105x2 = 210 damage) B>Thalion (Ancient Skeletons, Nightfall) - Enhanced Hit Shield: Toolkit - Finder's Keepers!

The alchemists fling some bombs about. Guts' starts spewing some sleep gas onto the entire port side of the ship, rendering it helpless. Hybros' confusion bomb saves Erik's life, causing one of the Crimson assassins to strike at the vampire before he slips to sleep. They then hurriedly replenish their stores. Torc uses her tail to launch Hoke into the air - at the speed he's going, he lands on Melville almost immediately, driving his lance into the rear admiral - but the aura seems to repulse his weapon, having next to no effect on the necromancer. His faithful dragon companion engulfs the already blackened, ancient skeleton mob in fire. The bulk of the action happens on the starboard side. Em fires into the ranks of the chemists, scattering them and leaving them cursed, while Zasies mashes one of them into a bony pulp with her mace. Dyric flicks his bladerang through the enemies, but fails to get lucky, Illdria swiftly ducking below the weapon as she twirls her way through the ranks of the Crimson novices. Four of them fall, their bones engraved with the injuries she's dealt them, and she makes startlingly short work of Hrostulf for how much trouble he gave the heroes alive. Thalion finds a treasure chest lying open right on the deck, but is gnawed on by the skeletal mob that's just finished being incinerated by Torc. It momentarily looks as though the heroes have done some major damage - then Melville raises his hands, bolstering the ranks of every mob on the ship, and summoning a trio of wights to assist him personally. It's going to be a brutal fight. "Heh. None stack up to you or fellow heroes. Nearly took my head off in that bar that day. Ah, miss those times...wish we could fight every day, you and I, avarask."

Some transparency might be called for in terms of scoring. I'm proud of what I can do in a very small vignette but if this got a 5, then this Needs to get like a 9, not a 4.

So your answer is to do nothing and kick back and let us try and find scum on our own without voicing any suspicion yourself despite your insistence that you had plenty of stuff that you just decided is somehow not worth sharing. Vote: Munud the Strange (mostlytechnic). You're not even trying. And that post: Is the post an inactive scum makes at the end of day one when they want to slide past the fact that they've done nothing.

The more Tarben talks the less convinced I am about him. I have no idea where that leaves Brand.

Fluff and fluff and stating obvious day one stuff and totally ambivalent about anything and fluff and stating "the scum are probably doing exactly what I'm doing."

Is it hasty of me to immediately want to vote Munud?

Potentially, but Brand might've jumped the gun. It would explain why he's entirely indecisive about what he did or didn't mean in this PM. I'm trying to justify in my head why he's unable to come with up with a logical explanation for anything he's said and why you're just so content to wave him off as being townie. Well that's an immediate red flag.

Sting gone horribly wrong? I think we discussed the traitor possibility? Scum stings (I hope I'm using that term right...where a scum gets an ally lynched to gain the trust of the town) seem to be kind of popular recently, but then I haven't been in the groove of things for a while. I think that's how I got killed the second time around Valhalla, in fact...

Miderun looks around in surprise and a bit of wonder at the muticolored forest arrayed before the party. It was a far cry from the barren wastes of her own homeland, that was for sure.

And only now that Brand's screwed anyway does he finally determine that Tarben is probably scum.

It just seems like your position - standing off to the sidelines, while Brand yammers away about you two, accusingly and then other times insisting he's not accusing you - is "yeah, okay, but he's probably town." Sometimes it's like you want to point out something fishy about Brand... ...but then, oh, it's probably just some silly townie... ...I mean, yeah, I'm not defending him, look at this suspicious thing.... ...but I'm pretty sure he's a townie.... ...seriously guys quit making a big deal out of this... ...you're being suspicious but don't worry I STILL REALLY think you're a townie. It jut seems like the kind of thing an experienced scum does to quietly try and get the spotlight off of an ally who's slipped up, a position I've been in many many many times.

I'm still trying to add all this up and I can't shake the feeling that Pudding-Head might be onto something with the traitor idea. That's not the response of a townie. They're not on 'message immediately' standards but they are on 'joke about our allegiances' standards?? I want to make sure I've got my ducks in a row here, because there's six pages of this nonsense now... 1. Pudding-Head is potatoed by Brand who relays the Tarben-Brand potato. 2. Tarben passes it all off as a joke and calls Brand absurd. 3. Brand spends the entire day posting the potato with his potato commentary and going back on forth on whether it was a joke or not and if he thinks Tarben is scum or not. 4. Tarben spends the entire day offering no thoughts on the situation save for 'I think Brand is town' and poking around at other suspects for different reasons. That about the whole of it?

Whoops. Fixed that....no and no.

I know. You've repeatedly stated, many times, that you think Brand is loyal.
