The Magpie weaves between the rocks flawlessly. The heroes fling down Smoke Clouders, bursting into billowing pillars of smoke as the vessel cuts through them and the Apocalypse riddles the cloud with cannonfire. Through it all, the Magpie manages to come out unscathed next to the armor-clad warship. Everyone gains experience. "Perfect! We're just within range. Once their cannons are disabled, we can sail right up to the bastards. Melvin, Knife-Tongue, go belowdecks and widen that hole they punched through the bow when they first took the ship." She turns to the party, with a smart smirk on her face. "When the boarding team blows open the back of the Apocalypse, we're going to shove all this gunpowder right up their stern. That'll take time, though, so we're all going to have to regroup and push forward, distracting everyone else they have on board, and most importantly, making sure Melville is dead before we go. I'm not leaving this to chance. After we retreat back to the Magpie and get some distance, all it takes is one shot and Melville and whatever plans he had are finished."

I meant to say 'repeat the battle order' somewhere in there but I think I forgot. "You were doing fine, I have some faith in the rest of my party, not like you," explained Miderun, annoyed. "If he could be saved, I wasn't about to let someone die because we weren't fast enough. Maybe you confuse 'heroes' with 'sellswords'." "Right..." Miderun charged her target down, club swinging.

I sure hope so. He chopped my head off one time....on accident.

Eh? We still in Valhalla? I've died like three times now. Can I get a Frequent Die-r Discount or something?

"Shut up Gourmser," snapped Miderun with little hesitation or patience. "What if it were you thrown overboard? Would you be so dismissive? We're called heroes for a reason, or have you forgotten that?" "He's gone, Bobby," she exclaimed, as though Bobby's denial was no less upsetting than Na'im's cold pessimism. "He was being dragged away last I saw. If he hasn't drowned by now-..." Miderun stopped herself, shaking her head. "Elnath, Polly, get the Mollosquid, front row." She then repeated her attack.

I was working on it and lost power and that kind of killed my enthusiasm, give me a bit longer.

Well, make up some better numbers, because that's nowhere near the truth. When there's a group of newbies in the Hall a quest usually rolls along for them eventually. If there are any left after this next batch I'm ironing out the details of my next one and it's well-suited for newbies.

Yes.

Or been stabbed in the back.

You can't move diagonally. You can't move vertically while in view of the Apocalypse, and you have to expend one on each stud you're in view. And yes, the Apocalypse sees down every column from the north, but it cannot see through rocks.

"The Glitterin', eh? Then perhaps ya' can try and make up for what ya' did. Not completely, of course. But it might help. Maybe." "I've got a friend needs ashes put down there or somethin'. Maybe we head down there, have a word with your boss, make sure it gets done quick so we can focus on our current job." "Oh, and don't mention I'm from Heroica and I won't mention you used to work with alchemical terrorists, ya' got it?"

I toyed with the idea of an undead Calico Meatpie making a stylish comeback.

Illdria nods and hands the pearls out to Hybros, Dyric, Thalion, and Erik. Melvin hands Erik the large sack of gluenades, tied shut until they reach the hull of the Apocalypse. "Good luck. Remember, your first priority is to get Zasies out, then blow open the rear of the ship." The quartet of heroes jump into the air bubbles that have formed by the side of the Magpie, and sink slowly down into the depths.... "Now, for the rock field..." Illdria passes around a spyglass, through which each hero (minus Hoke and Torc, who are already overheard) examines the area. "We're down by the southwest, the Apocalypse is north of us. They can see everything south of them, so we need to use these rocks as cover while sneak into close range. One shot and we're all dead." Knife-Tongue drops a crate of Smoke Clouders by the remaining heroes' feet. "Knifey's whipped up these Smoke Clouders to mask our approach, but they've got a very limited range, and we've only got ten. So use 'em wisely." The heroes' goal is to reach the red zone without being spotted by the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse can see everything in a straight shot from the north. The Apocalypse cannot see through rocks. One Smoke Clouder will be consumed when moving left or right while in sight of the Apocalypse. There are ten Smoke Clouders, so use them wisely. You cannot use a Smoke Clouder while moving north or south. DO NOT POST THE SOLUTION TO THE PUZZLE. Each player must send a private message to the QM with your solution within 24 hours to receive experience.

"And just what does your 'starting over' entail, huh?"

Yep. Glad to see you bringing back a C.A.T character, JimBee.

I'm actually more inclined to believe Guts was cloned as part of a secret government initiative. Heroica's is Solid Guts, naturally.

"Skrooft....Skrooft.....hang on, you worked with those Crimson...guys back in Eubric." Atramor frowned and glared at the Metasimian as he stepped forward. "Aye, I remember now - you almost killed that kid and unleasdhed a plague on Uland. What the hell are you doing down here, ya' bastard?"

Miderun sputters for breath back on the deck of the ship, shaking the image of Toren being dragged off into the depths out of her head as she stands. "He's-.." Miderun coughs. "He's gone. For good." She turns her attention to Grenius, focusing her anger into into an attack in the front row.

I knew I recognized that freaking monkey but I could not place him for my life. Atramor does a double take as he passes the Metasimian. He glances down at the book in his arms, and narrows his eyes slightly. He's met an annoying number of Metasimians in his heroing career. Most actively trying to kill him. But this one looked familiar. "Do I know ya', mate?" the drafter crossed his arms as he wracked his brain.

Quest #66. The first appearance of a Moon Elf I think, being the ambassador of the race. I think he mentions their numbers being super low these days.

And why this NPC non-hero gets to drink for free just because he's in the hall. And why the king of an entire country has time to sail across the sea to visit Heroica for no reason and then sail all the way back.

We already have two other Master Classes.

Atramor heads toward the Rusty Minecart. A tavern's name if he'd ever heard one.

Miderun backs up as the Mollosquid is disabled and the rest of the party rails against the merfolk with surprising intensity. She backs up into the railing and pauses, hesitating as a thought crosses her mind. It's stupid, it's reckless, it's dangerous...words used to describe a mistake she'd never forget. "This is a terrible idea," she mumbled to herself. "Lyrion, Hung, grab some rope, and hold onto it like your life depends on it. If this ship is chained up, then Toren shouldn't be-..." The orc paused and shook her head. "This is a terrible idea. Elnath, attack Sasacanth, Polly, take on the Mollosquid, front rows. Kiray, can you lead the party for a bit?" If the Lannisters find some rope, Miderun ties it around her waist and attempts to jump into the water where Toren was last seen in an attempt to save the wereracoon. Battle Order Kiray vs Octavus - Elnath vs Sasacanth - Polly vs Mollosquid - >Bobby vs Grenius - >Mhinak vs Tortula - >Germ vs Protrucio - >Naîm vs Mollusquid - Lyrion Hung Miderun

Sorry, one thing led to another and I ended up helping a relative move into a new house for most of the day. Thanks to Flipz for updating these stats. With Torc hovering around, the Magpie sets sail, slipping out of the grotto easily. Outside, a storm seems to have lowered down onto the Crystalline Sea, just as the dawn begins to break. But they also see the Apocalypse - sitting off to the side, with its multitude of cannons facing the Magpie. "Damn it!" snaps the captain over the screaming rain and pounding rain, twisting the wheel sideways to face the monster of a warship, reducing their visibility. "Melvin, get the-" An explosion of cannonfire drowns out the sounds of her and the storm - the heroes brace themselves, but the shots didn't come from the Apocalypse - the gun battery of the fort above them are smoking, however, as one of the warship's masts splinters. "Direct hit. About the best we can do, considering." "Good. Everyone: scrape together whatever powder is left, and reload!" "Yes ma'am!" Those remaining at the base don't get their chance, however - the Apocalypse seems to immediately note its disadvantage, and begins fleeing north. The makeshift sails lowered, the Magpie pursues it. Melvin surveys the scene through a spyglass. Visibility is very low thanks to the storm. "She's got a bit of a headstart cap'n, but we're- wait, pull around, they're opening fire!" Several flashes emit from the rear of the Apocalypse, and the heroes are nearly knocked off their feet, cannonballs whizzing overheard as Illdria pulls the wheel sideways again, forcing the Magpie to stop, bumping into a wicked-looking rock beside them with a low crunch - luckily the force isn't enough to break anything really important. "Are we hit?!" "No, cap'n, but if they see us again, we won't be so lucky. They have rear cannons, too: at least six, by the looks of it." "Well, we can't sit around here forever, they'll find a way around this field of rocks and blow the hell out of us. Knife-Tongue, did you get the rest of the cache?" "Aye, cap'm." The hobgoblin is struggling to roll a large cask up onto the deck of the Magpie, the rain pouring down on all of them. Illdria hops down from the upper deck and helps him drag it the rest of the way, then pops it open with her dagger. "Considering how often they've called us smugglers, they did a piss-poor job of looking for places for us to smuggle things. Everything looks intact." She lifts a pair of odd-looking machines out of it, glass bulbs mounted on each of them. "Underwater- something or other, we call them UBAs. Bought 'em off a guy named Daneeka. Supposed to be for exploration or something, but we use them mostly for repairing or cleaning the hull...or sabotaging the occasional raider." She sets them up by the edge of the ship, switches them on and digs around in the cask further to pull out four black pearls. "In a minute, these machines'll make bubbles in the water. Hold these pearls and they'll follow you right down to the ocean floor." "And these," remarks Melvin, pulling out a thick, moist bag out of the cask and removing a small ball of what looked like dough out of it. "Are gluenades! Gunpowder and sourdough. And seasoned to taste. Wet 'em and they'll stick to just about anything. I think I know where you're going with this, cap'n!" "We can send four people down under the water, and they can walk right up underneath the Apocalypse. Most of the hull is underwater, and that bit won't be armored. They can blow their way inside, bust out Zasies, and kill the guys manning the rear cannons. But the UBAs have a limited range. Those who remain will have to help me navigate the Magpie through this field of rocks." Knife-Tongue pulled a few Smoke Bombs out of the cask, but they looked heavily modified. "Fmoke Cwoudewf. Gowimiam guwiwwwa facfic. We cam ufe fhefe 'o mafk ouw appwoaf." "Er, what he means to say is that the Smoke Clouders can mask our approach through the rocks." "Custom-made tools of the trade."
