I don't know. Still waiting for swils' or PL's or 2nd PL's choice of Thorm's action. You'll probably be exiting the Unlimited Quest to pursue a new quest before quest 35 is done.

"Right, my attacks have become predictable against the archer. Let's switch things up. Same tricks, different opponent. I'll attack Brobric Arbormancer from the back row with an earth spell twice."

Hound swipes at the air as he slowly moves backward. Ranger gets on one knee and aims his bow. Rogue moves in front of Thormana while she recovers from her blinded state. The cleric and paladin siblings prepare their spells as they size up their new opponents. The woman successfully increases her mental acuity with an intelligence buff.

En Sabah Nur surrounded his stealth dagger with raw ether and went after the archer. Bits of stone floated within the aura of the spellblade as he attacked. He then sent some of the surrounding rock towards his target. Nur laughed at Sylph's response to Johon's taunts. He sized up his opponent and again concluded that among his peers, he had the best chance of avoiding the archer's devastating bow attack. Again Nur targeted Brobric Marksman with an earth spell twice from the back row.

QM Note: Damn...I guess not. The Vengeance Wraith will not do an additional 5 damage to you if you're out of ether. ALSO, I forgot to add in that the Maa'ri's attacks are able to harm undead. Will fix post now.

Not every class, every artifact, every item or every weapon has to be amazing.

QM Note: A reference of how hastened heroes get free hit once despite being in the order of actions twice. The figure the orcs had been chasing enters the room. The heroes see she is a female youth. "I must admit, I did not anticipate your presence here Nyssa. Why aren't you at your father's wedding?" "Because I hate that witch and don't want her for a step-mom! To make things worse some people are chasing me. I won't go to the wedding, I won't!" Nyssa hides. Results of Round Nine of The Archivist's Assault: Homer Singerson does nothing. Knifk is unconscious. Thormana Nihai Orc Spirit (Echo) - Shield: Blood Ritual/Special Damage (16+18=34 8 health transferred from Hoh to Undead - that...sucks) >Thormana Nihai vs.Akkaba Cleric (Human) - Extra Critical Hit/Special Damage ((12x3+21)/2-5~=23 damage and the badly poisoned effect) >Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Paladin (Human) - Special Damage: Righteous Smite (20/2=10 damage Elgar, blind next round=elgar,smyth,thorm - Sorry, QM's choice) >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Vengeance Wraith - Hit (23/2~=11 damage) Ad-Hoh is unconscious. Free Hits: Akkaban Archivist vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (10/2-3=2 damage, not targeted so does not mimic shaman SHIELD roll) Orc Spirit (Alpha) vs. Elgar Gligin - Free Hit (10/2=5 damage) Akkaba Mage (Human) vs. Arasmyth RuGard - Free Hit (25/2-3~=10 damage) Other Stuff: All players lose 9 ether from Wraith's drain Wraith and Cleric lose 10 health from the badly poison effect. Singerson discontinues his random song and dance. Thormana conducts her blood ritual but it goes horribly wrong. The life force of her comrade is transferred to the ghastly orc spirit! Hoh collapses while Thormana falls back into a defensive position. Her swings keep the cleric at bay and she manages to inflict poison upon the armored healer. The paladin brings down the (un)holy light of Akkaba upon Elgar bringing him to 1 health. Arasmyth's gem enhanced weapon keeps the wraith from draining any lifeforce from the mage. The Archivist throws a lazy swipe at Nihai while the remaining Orc spirit finishes Elgar. With Ad-Hoh down, the enemy Mage remains unoccupied so she fires a destructive bolt of magic into the blue robed elf, downing the Party's leader. The Wraith flies high and wails as it would have sucked 9 ether from the heroes. The delayed effect of the Paladin's spell activates washing the field with an even more brilliant light. Thormana is blinded for a round. Unable to see, she faces the enemy alone for only a moment before the Maa'ri orcs enter the fray. But will even they be enough to win this conflict? This QM says 'nay'. The battle continues. The Enemies: Akkaban Archivist - "Stay there, we will protect you from the intruders but as for your father's wrath..."

OoC: Hey, the "What's-that-behind-you?" Manuever is a valid distraction tactic! Johon does +damage to target! "Dak, occupy that Patrolman so our druid can get a better shot off. Sylph, in what order should we proceed?"

Nur chuckles at Johon before attacking Brobric Marksman with an earth spell from the back row twice.

OoC: I've been doing whatever row you're in when your second action is conducted is the row you take damage from for the free hit. I recall being told hastened heroes don't take two free hits (in one round worth of free hits dealt) but that recollection is fuzzy and I could just be doing it wrong. I figure your PC is moving faster, not the enemy. Ranger stops and picks up a cannister. Its marking appears to be an appariton of some sort surrounded by a red circle with a line struck through it diagonally. "I don't know what this is but put it on your knives. You dip your paws in there while I coat my arrows." The Maa'ri comply before making their way down the hall to meet with the Party.

En Sabah Nur peered down the side of the cliff. There was not much room to maneuver if a battle were to ensue and these elves have the high ground and more experience in fighting in this type of environment. He disliked dealing with elves, not because he didn't agree with them, only that they all looked the same to him. Nur had lost sight of the boys and the Party needed to move along. He didn't like the thought of more patrollers in the area than this bunch as they'd slow the group down for sure. "Forgive me, I need to take something to calm my stomach. Heights make it a bit queezy." En Sabah Nur consumed a Smelling Salts. "Now, 'non-elven' you say? Don't we all have a little elf in us. Take a look at my ridiculously large eyes. I've got to have at least a tiny bit of fey in me. Most likely high up in the tree on my mother's side no doubt. My friends jest in their responses, their senses of humor leave something to be desired...We are on a pilgrimmage of sorts and merely wish to pay our respects. We each had friends, family and comrades who died fighting for your people in those Brobic Wars. That should count for something. Let us pass to visit the Moon Elf burial site. You can escort us if ye'd like." The mage turned toward his party and made no attempt to hide a shrug. When it came to elves and tact in general, he was clueless.

QM Note: Trying to get home. Had two different flights home get canceled. One flight got halfway home then turned around due to T-Storms in So, Cal. Had to stay at hotel and trying to fly out again right now. Smartphone charger got busted so I'm bumming one from random person. Will update as soon as possible.

"Any luck with that vine, Johon? These chaps aren't much for the outdoors like survivalists such as you and me, eh? So quick for me to use magic to bypass the situation."

Oops. I've been doing it wrong. I've been having Player summons attack immediately and Enemy summons attack the next round.

@SlayerClass: Everyone needs a Wolverine on their side to kick mega-blocks! I like the insane damage as is. Instead of nerfing the damage calculations you could have the slayer weakened for 1-3 rounds after using SHIELD or stunned for a round or have the class immune to status effects (positive and/or negative) all together.

Akkaba’s Delight - A delightful diddy about Akkaba before he was betrayed. Causes the blessed effect on a random ally for three rounds. “Oh! You doth have a friend in me...” Truth Of Akkaba - Reveals the horrid truth of Akkaba. Hexes a random enemy for three rounds. “See the face of Akkaba, see his true visage...” Shameful Secrets - This song reminds all combatants of a shameful secret they hold (like hitting a boy in the head in the sewer) . 50% chance heroes have their level halved for one round and 50% chance enemies have their level halved for one round. “Let your secrets out I say! Let them see the light of day!” Sewer Slide - It seems that Singerson might have entered through the sewers as well. All heroes are hastened but also poisoned for one round. “Sliding down the sewer luge is fun...but dirty.” Bridge Guardian - A familiar song about a giggling guardian. All enemies are magically burned for 5 damage regardless of SP. “Giggle giggle giggle, all she does is giggle as you fall in a pit and are burned for a bit.” Righteous Reverb - The song reverberates off the walls, vibrating the heroes. All heroes get the immune to physical damage effect (physical based free hits included) for three rounds but take double damage from magic based attacks (magical based free hits included). "Caaanaaanaaan yoooouuuuuuuu feeeeeeeeeeeeelllll theeeeeeeeeeeeeee viiiiiiiiibrrrrrraaaaaaatiiioooooooonnnnnsssssssss?!" Party Leader, choose the order of actions. Also choose the song Singerson will sing. It will take effect before the round begins. Knifk, state if you want to sacrifice any additional health for your attacks. All of you, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal, or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. Check your stats, let me know if there are mistakes. Trickster's Masks can be donned/removed in the same turn as your normal action. Currently two characters are wearing a mask: Thorm(Gender-Human) and 'Smyth(Gender-Elf) QM Note: The Maa'ri will join the fight at round 10...if you live that long.

After avoiding numerous patrols, the Maa'ri find themselves at the sewer exit. "Well, at least she escaped." Hound and Ranger turn in time to see a figure rushing out from the sewer behind them into the market area. The orcs quickly follow and see her heading toward the Apothecarium. "Isn't that where those guys we hired went?" - "Damn." The orcs make their way to the Apothecarium. Results of Round Six of The Archivist's Assault: Homer Singerson uses Skill - Song: Shameful Secrets (Heroes have their level halved for this round.) >Thormana Nihai heals Ad-Hoh - Heal/No Healing ((12+21/2 rounded down +1=23 health) Thormana Nihai - Orc Spirit (Echo) - Extra Critical Hit/Hit (9x3+21/2 rounded down +1=38 lightning damage) >Arasmyth RuGard uses Item (Self) - Grand Tonic (+15 ether) >Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Special Damage: Righteous Smite (25/2/2 rounded up =7 damage Hoh; Hoh, Elgar, & Smyth=blind the next round) >Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Cleric (Human) - Shield: Tripleshot (Cleric: 11+16/2-5=14 damage, T'wan & Mage: 19 lightning damage) Free Hits: Akkaban Archivist vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (10-3=7 damage, not targeted so does not mimic shaman SHIELD roll) Vengeance Wraith vs. Arasmyth RuGard - Free Hit ((23+5)/2-3= 11 damage) Orc Spirit (Alpha) vs. Ad-Hoh - Free Hit (10/2=5 damage) Akkaba Paladin (Human) vs. Elgar Gligin/Akkaba Mage, T'wan Ti (Human) - Free Hit (20 damage) Other Stuff: All players lose 6 ether from Wraith's drain Singerson sings a song. Thormana heals Ad-Hoh then charges Echo from the front row. Her lightning enhanced totem would have done an amazing amount of damage but it's hard to concentrate with Singerson's squawking. Just what language is he singing in, Rito-eese? Arasmyth guzzles a grand tonic while Elgar fires three bolts. With his reduced mental capability, his shots don't do their normal damage. He does manage to bring T'wan close to death. Enraged, her sister mage brings down the light on Hoh and blinds those standing next to him. The Archivist sees an opening and clocks Nihai before standing aside looking smug. The Wraith swipes at Arasmyth as Alpha goes for Ad-Hoh. The hexed paladin sets his sights on T'wan Ti and knocks her out. The Wraith flies high and wails as it sucks 6 ether from the heroes. Only a couple of rounds left before backup arrives. Can the heroes hold out? And will the orcs be enough to win this battle? The Enemies: Akkaban Archivist - Folds his arms and watches the events unfold.

Nur winked his left eye to jut out a foothold for Nuitan on the right side of the destroyed bridge. At the very least it'd help stabilize the bridge a bit in the wind. He set his new walking stick against a tree. "Sylph, I believe it is working. Keep at it!" En Sabah Nur squinted at the tree nearby the broken bridge. With his right hand behind his back, he discretely cast a spell on the tree. Working the incantation with his fingers as he mumbled, he hoped to use the water absorbed by the tree to bend it enough for the boys to get a firm grasp and pull themselves to safety.

OoC: Very cool! Results of Round Five of The Archivist's Assault: Homer Singerson uses Skill - Song: of Akkaba (Enemy is hexed for three rounds: Akkaba Paladin])Knifk vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Critical Mortal Hit (12x2+19=43 damage, Leadership=No) >Thormana Nihai heals Ad-Hoh - No Healing/Shield: Blood Ritual (Akkaban Archivist is immune!) >Thormanil Nihai uses Item (Self) - Grand Tonic (+15 ether) >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Orc Spirit (Echo) - Great Spell/Critical Hit ((8x2+15)/2 rounded down =15 damage) >Ad-Hoh uses Item (Self) - Ether Core (+full ether) >Elgar Gligin uses Item (Orc Spirit (Echo)) - Potion (10 damage) Free Hits: Akkaban Archivist vs. Knifk - Free Hit (Immune, not targeted so does not mimic shaman SHIELD roll) Knifk counter-strikes Akkaban Archivist - Free Hit (31-5=26 damage He still can't seem to deflect a thing! ) Vengeance Wraith vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (Immune) Orc Spirit (Alpha) vs. Arasmyth RuGard - Free Hit (Immune) Akkaba Paladin (Human) vs. Ad-Hoh/Akkaba Cleric (Human) - Free Hit (20-5=15 damage) Akkaba Cleric (Human) vs. Elgar - Free Hit (Immune) Akkaba Mage, T'wan Ti (Human) vs. Knifk - Free Hit (20x2 Singerson's song =40 damage No defense, second enemy to get a free hit ) Knifk counter-strikes Akkaba Mage, T'wan Ti (Human) - Free Hit (31 damage) Other Stuff: All players lose 5 ether from Wraith's drain Singerson sings a song. Knifk presses his target again but this time scores an even bigger hit. Thormana conducts a blood ritual but the Archivist is immune to clerical spells. Nihai drinks some medicine to restore ether. Arasmyth tries to continue with his spell casting but finds he's out of ether. He shrugs and swings his stick at the ghost instead. Ad-Hoh cracks open an ether core and lets the effervescent contents restore his ether in full. With eyes too blurred to fire a bolt, Elgar grabs a potion, pulls out the cork with his teeth and blindly throws it at Echo. The Archivist tries to attack Knifk but only ends up getting damaged himself. The wraith and Alpha are not able to penetrate Singerson's song. The Paladin smiles as he pelts his teammate. She grins as well then hits Elgar. Maybe there's some sort of sick relationship between those two...T'wan Ti comes to the aid of her sister and nails Knifk with a bolt of magic. Thanks to Singerson's song, the blast is amplified. Knifk drops his sword and shield then drops to his knees. After a brief silence, T'wan Ti slowly approaches and pokes him. "Is it dead?" Suddenly the sand green brute lashes out with his fist landing directly under the mage's chin. He collapses but not before sending the woman flying. Once again the Wraith flies high and wails but this time it sucks 5 ether from the heroes. The Party's immunity is gone for good. What ever are they going to do? The battle continues.

SHIELD: Makeshift Turret - The tinkerer hastily builds a turret that hits all enemies with strength equal to the tinkerer’s weapon power multiplied by two then added to her level before it falls apart (WP:9 x 2 + Lvl 30= 48 damage to all enemies). No parts retrieved. 2. SUNDER STRIKE/GREATER SCAVENGE: Hits target with strength equal to the tinkerer’s weapon power multiplied by two then added to her level (WPx2+LVL). The hit applies the fragile effect on the target for three rounds. Optionally, the tinkerer can spend a turn looking for and finding random parts in the amount equal to the tinkerer’s weapon power multiplied by two then added to level then divided by three rounded up (i.e. (WP:9 x 2 + LVL30 )/3 =16 random parts: 14 Du-Hinklies,1 Thinga-majigger, 1 k-NUT). 3. STRIKE/SCAVENGE: The tinkerer attacks the target with strength equal to her weapon power added to her level. Optionally, the tinkerer can spend a turn looking for and finding random parts in the amount equal to the tinkerer’s weapon power added to her level then divided by three rounded up (i.e. (WP:9 + LVL30)/3 =13 random parts: 2 Du-Hinklies, 11 k-NUTs). 4. FLASHBANG/ LESSER SCAVENGE: The tinkerer throws a bomb that blinds all targets for the next round. Optionally, the tinkerer can spend a turn looking for and finding random parts in the amount equal to the tinkerer’s weapon power divided by three rounded up (i.e. WP:9 /3 =3 random parts: 2 Du-Hinklies & 1 Thinga-majigger). 5. DAMAGE/NO SCAVENGE: The tinkerer is struck by her opponent’s damage. Optionally, the tinkerer finds no spare parts. 6.

Schematics can drop randomly from quests and all future mechanical enemies could drop some kind of part. Sample Parts: k-NUTs, Arcspanners, Bolts, Du-Hinklies Thinga-majiggers, Etc. A schematic will tell what parts are needed to create an item. Sample Schematics: Schematic: Lesser Tonic Dispenser .

Multiple SHIELD rolls refresh the three round timer and do not stack. 2. SAP ATTACK: The botanist commands his pet to grasp onto an enemy dealing damage with strength in an amount equal to the botanist’s weapon power multiplied by the round number then added to level. The poisonous sap of the attack also causes the weakened effect (WP:20 x round 4 + Lvl 30 = 110 damage + weakened effect). 3. ATTACK: The botanist commands his pet to attack the target with strength equal to his weapon power added to his level (e.g. WP 20 + level 30 = 50 damage). 4. DELAYED SPROUT BOMB: The botanist instructs his pet to emit a sproutling. The sproutling travels to the target and explodes at the beginning of the next round dealing damage to target with strength equal to the botanist’s level. 5. DAMAGE: The botanist is struck by his target’s damage. 6. SPECIAL DAMAGE: The botanist is struck by his opponent’s special skill.
