"Very well then. I feel more comfortable in the presence of more experienced magic users. Let us hope we are selected."

It's a wonder the aeromancer's eyes haven't spun out of his head with the amount of eye rolling he's done this quest. Either he underestimated the distance to the top or the weight of his comrades (or maybe he is getting too old) because Arasmyth quickly finds that five ether isn't going to get the job done. Unconcerned with preparations the Party heads onward. PREPARE FOR LIFT OFF!

The total distance to be covered is 60 studs. The party travels upwards at 10 studs per round. Each round drains ether from the mages in varying amounts dependent upon their teammates' rolls. Each player will select a mage to float next to. Targetted mage's ether is what the non-mage's die rolls affect. SHIELD = 1 ether drained from targetted mage. CRIT = 2 ether drained from targetted mage. HIT = 3 ether drained from targetted mage. MISS = 4 ether drained from targetted mage. DAMAGE = 5 ether drained from targetted mage. SPECIAL DAMAGE = 6 ether drained from targetted mage. [*]Using an item consumes an ether. If item is used on a non-mage, ether is drained from the mage previously targetted. If no mage was previously targetted (i.e. Round 1), ether is drained from mage listed first in the battle order. [*]Only one mage per round may use a consumable but both may receive an item's benefit from others in one round. [*]Choosing the action of "do nothing" in an attempt not to target a mage will drain 6 ether from both mages. [*]If both mages run out of ether the party will drop. The round number divided by 6 then multiplied by a player's maximum health will equate to how much damage is done. Ex. If the Party drops in round 4, each member will lose health in an amount of (4/6*(maximum health)). [*]Row does not matter. Posting Example: Elgar targets/floats next to Arasmyth. Arasmyth targets self. Thormanil targets Ad-Hoh. Elgar - SHIELD = 1 ether drained from Arasmyth Arasmyth - CRIT = 2 ether drained from Arasmyth Thormanil - DMG = 5 ether drained from Ad-Hoh Party Leader, choose the order of actions. All of you, choose your targets. Also mention if you want to cast a heal or if you want to use an item.

Arasmyth goes for the right door. The party’s failure to check for traps results in them activating multiple pressure sensors. The hallway floor quickly fades from existence. The heroes find themselves falling then sliding briefly until they exit from a hole which seals shut. They drop six studs to the ground causing each to lose 1 health. Once they have recovered they find themselves in a circular room with no visible exits. Elgar is the first to look up and see an opening approximately sixty studs above them. It appears the party is in some sort of pit.

En Sabah Nur entered the Hall. Dust fell from him has he moved. He'd always thought himself quite tidy but now for some reason he didn't mind the mess. Besides, a little dirt never hurt anyone. Nur grinned behind his shaggy head. He could never tell one elf apart from another but thank the gods he recognized this one. He was safe from an embarrassing situation. "Ah Erdat-" Shit. "Alexis! Very good to see you again. Yes, my hair...I'm still getting used to it myself. Aye, I will quest with you. Not sure if my mind's right for leading quests anymore though. I have a question though, who is Althior?"

En Sabah Nur entered the Training Room. This seemed to be the only place where he could relax and focus enough to bring forth his pet rock. It rolled around expectantly. "Eh, look what happened to my arm. Looks pretty intimidating, no?" "..." "Well, I can't seem to get it off. I've tried every spell I know. Any ideas?" "..." "It's awfully heavy. I wonder if I could do something to lighten its weight." "Perhaps I can be of some assistance. Here, hit this target mannequin as hard as you can with your regular arm." Nur complied and the dummy wobbled. "Now with your rocky one." The mage hit the wooden dummy and it wobbled a bit. "Weak. That hit should have shattered the dummy. You're going to help me around here for a bit. Moving the equipment to where I need it and such." Nur looked at his pet rock and shrugged. En Sabah Nur did as he was instructed. His quadriceps and hamstrings ached with the constant lifting. Every other break the Copper Fox would engage Nur in some playful lighthearted sparring. The earth mage enjoyed the physical activity. Over time Copper Fox brought out the wooden target dummy again. "Now, destroy the dummy with your fist." Nur grinned and prepared to hit the target with his earthy arm. "No, with your normal hand." En Sabah Nur shattered the dummy. "Boom, battle mage." Nur gains 1 health point. (-4 Sorcerer health, +5 Battle Mage health; -1 Sorcerer ether, +1 Battle Mage ether) En Sabah Nur, Level 18 Battle Mage Health: 27/27 | Ether: 23/23

En Sabah Nur nodded his farewells as he headed downstairs after completing his meal. He took a look at the questboard. The possibility of adventuring with Alf again was enough for him not to sign up. This other one looks promising. Signing up as a team...brilliant employer. Must be a serious mission. He looked around and sighed. "Aw well." Nur left the questboard area and headed for the training room.

The Party opens the center door. It appears to be some sort of emergency supply closet. There are six shelves with five slots per shelf that at one time held a vial or container. Despite the number of slots the Party only finds a tonic, a potion, a smelling salts and two holy bombs. Party Leader, how will the loot be divided? Tonic - Restores 5 ether to the target. Potion - Restores 10 health to the target. Smelling Salts - Causes the hastened-effect, allowing the target to act twice in one round for the duration of one battle. Holy Bomb - Causes 5 points of light-elemental damage to all enemies, doubled if the target is weak to light. Holy Bomb - Causes 5 points of light-elemental damage to all enemies, doubled if the target is weak to light.

Confident with his sense of direction, Arasmyth reaches for the handle of the left door and finds that it is locked. What will the Party do?

At the end of the hall they reach a wall with three doors, a left door, a center door, and a right door. What will the Party do?

Results of Round Three of the Chemical Catastrophe Battle: >Knifk uses Item - Canisters: R & Z (Success! 25 damage to all blobs) >Thormanil Nihai vs. Large Chemical Blob (Bloop Blobingham)Chemical Blob (Bloenix) - Meditate >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Chemical Blob (Bloenix) - Damage (15/2 rounded up -3=5 damage received) >Ad-Hoh vs. Chemical Blob (Bloenix) - Special Damage: Chemical Burn Ad-Hoh's Spirit of Lightning vs. Large Chemical Blob (Bloop Blobingham)Chemical Blob (Bloenix) - Spirit Attack (16x2=32 lightning damage) >Elgar Gligin vs. Chemical Blob (Bleast) - Shield: Tripleshot ((10+14)x6=144 lightning damage) Knifk coughs blood before holding his breath and dumps the R & Z canisters in the pool. He holds out for as long as he can before he is forced to take in air. He breathes easy as the noxious fumes instantly dissipate. The remaining blobs wobble but they don't fall down. They seemed to be psychically connected to the large liquid. No more blobs emerge from the neutralized pool. Thormanil closes his eyes to meditate on the apparent win while Bloenix hops from Arasmyth to Ad-Hoh. It spends a little extra time on Ad-Hoh as it has a toxic bowel movement which badly poisons the evoker. Fortunately Ad-Hoh's lightning spirit does a final flashy attack that removes the blob from its master before the electric creature fizzles. Elgar cleans things up for the Lightning Lads by firing three lightning tinged arrows at Bleast. Ad-Hoh feels sick and loses health quickly before the effect seems to pass. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!! All party members gain half a level of experience.

Where will the Party go? Further down the hall Back upstairs to the main city to another location

I can write to make sense of anything.

Is the damage dealt by the poisoned and badly poisoned effects affected by SP & row? If you're poisoned in the front row can you step back the next round to half the damage?

Results of Round Two of the Chemical Catastrophe Battle: >Knifk uses Item - Canisters: O & C (No Effect) >Thormanil Nihai vs. Large Chemical Blob (Bloop Blobingham) - Extra Critical Hit ((7x3+19)=40 lightning damage) >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Chemical Blob (Blyx) - Shield: Magic Burst(Lightning) Lucky!

Nothing happens and the fumes remain. He's provided plenty of time to consider his next move as Team Lightning handles the blobs. Not wanting to be overwhelmed, the Party comes together like true professionals and do work. Thormanil takes a big chunk out of the larger blob that dissolves permanently. Arasmyth's lightning chain bounces from blob to blob. He destroys two blobs in the process. Ad-Hoh summons a creation of lightning that deals with the blob on his shoulder. Not intimidated by close proximity of the blobs, Elgar aims his bow in the air and makes it rain lightning touched arrows. He kills three blobs but two more emerge from the pool.

The pool will generate an unending supply of blobs until the correct canisters are dumped into it. The player who is dumping the canisters suffers 3 damage (regardless of SP and Row) each round due to his proximity to the noxious fumes. Players can choose another canister distributor each round to mitigate damage. There are four lettered containers. Each canister contains 4 tablets. The correct two need to be poured at the same time (in the same round) to stop the blob generation. Once the puddle is neutralized, all remaining blobs will suffer 25 points of damage. Order containers are applied in does not matter. Party Leader, choose the order of actions. If not done so in a timely manner, the Second-In-Command will make the decision. 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. Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

"Thothwick? What sort of skill set does he bring to Heroica, blade, spells or bow? I suppose I should spend time studying the current roster for awhile. Maybe that librarian can go with him. Last time I spoke with him though he got flustered when I tried to give him a banana." Nur enjoyed a butter roll. "Are there any druid members of this guild? I think their affinity for natural magics could help me with my control over water and earth based spell casting."

QM Note: No, for this encounter order does not matter. R then C would offer the same effect as dumping C then R.

OoC: S'ok s'ok. : ) QM Note: Arasmyth RuGard will be refunded a Grand Tonic as his unsuccessful scroll spell casts in the previous battle should not have cost him ether. Results of Round One of the Chemical Catastrophe Battle: >Knifk uses Item - Canisters: R & C (No Effect) Thormanil Nihai vs. Chemical Blob (Blobert) - Hit ((7+19+1)x2=54 damage) >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Chemical Blob (Blobingham) - Hit ((5+12)/2 rounded down =8 staff damage) >Ad-Hoh vs. Chemical Blob (Blipblop) - Hit ((5+16)x2=42 damage) >Elgar Gligin vs. Chemical Blob (Bloop) - Special Damage: Merge Chemical Blob (Blobinstein) vs. Knifk - Free Hit ((15/2 rounded up )-9~0 damage) Knifk counter-strikes Akkaban Interrogator - Free Hit (10+16=26 damage) Chemical Blob (Blobbo) vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (15-3=12 damage) Chemical Blob (Bluto) vs. Arasmyth RuGard - Free Hit ((15/2 rounded up )-3=5 damage) Chemical Blob (Blur) vs. Ad-Hoh - Free Hit ((15/4 rounded up )=4 damage) Knifk coughs as he dumps the contents of R & C into the pool. Unfortunately there is no effect on the pool but the knight's lungs suffer a hit. Looking like a true shaman once again, Thormanil uses his mystic totem to disintegrate his target. Arasmyth seems to have developed a new sport as he lines up his shot and swings at a blob. It was a great stroke but the blob landed into Elgar's target creating a bigger blob. Ad-Hoh almosts destroys his target as the blobs begin to swarm. Little Blopinstein hops towards its closest target, Knifk who simply kicks it aside. Cute lil' Blobbo slowly hops a stud at a time until his proximity to Thormanil scalds the shaman a bit. Bluto inches towards Arasmyth but stops to hock a loogie. The fired phlegm wad lands near his foot but the mage's skin feels the burn. Baby Blur lands on Ad-Hoh's shoulder and stares curiously at the old Pantanan. Luckily for him, his position and magical cloak offers him a great deal of protection. With a few more canister combinations left to try, the chemical blob Blyx joins her kin.

"Yes...by accident. Horrible thing that bit of business was." Nur raised his glass to the fallen comrade. "Was a bit surprised how easily he perished to earthly steel. However my assumption is the intent and emotions behind the blow was what truly did him in." Juice from the bite of his chicken leaked into his beard. I'll save that for later. "The majority of my questing as a part of Heroica has kept me here in Eubric. I appreciate the excuse this organization has offered for me to explore a new city. So aye, I've had a few run-ins with members of the Wolfgang. I hear the rumours like everyone else of how they're a rising power in this city but from what I've witnessed, they're just a ragtag group of low threat scoundrels." His cup of cocoa empty he ordered some water. "I find they often know a great deal about the happenings in this city and if you can get one to talk, their information is always solid. I don't quite understand the 'Wolf' portion of their name. Wolves travel in packs yet I've only encountered one or two at a time. Since they are everywhere they seem more like the Ratpack to me. Personally, I'm more concerned with the Metasimians. Those damn dirty apes attack from the building tops and leave their victims in the streets for all to see."

OoC: >9000 & Right Choice, Jeb is amused. QM Note: Party Leader or Second-In-Command (whoever posts first) please choose Ad-Hoh's actions as he seems busy in other areas of EB. Thank you for your patience with yet another trial and error event.

"Jess, such a sneaky one. You always appear from nowhere and never make a sound." Nur mouthed his 'thanks' as his food and drank arrived. He raised an eyebrow and watched the exchange between Boomingham and Jess and eyed the coin on the table. He passed it back to Boomingham. "Keep your money. On the way in I heard some fancy merchant is coming to town soon. You may need it." He took a bite from his chicken. "Aye, I was looking forward to questing with Hybros here. He's a bit of a throwing weapons expert and I need the training."

I was thinking the same. Either Sandy did agree that missed spells cost an ether and never updated the the FAQ or there's a glitch in the matrix because I remember it the same way you do. If you shoot and miss your round isn't refunded.

QM Note: Sorry will clarify. Person using their turn to drop the canisters in the Acidic Pool will prevent Acidic Pool from scoring a free hit. S'like using an item against an enemy like a scroll spell.

En Sabah Nur lumbered up the Hall stairs. He'd yet to adapt to the additional weight on his left side. He ordered a hot cocoa and bit of roasted chicken. Nur collected his money from Docken before returning to the counter to wait for his food.

Not one to be bothered with conversation, Arasmyth blasts the vials and canisters with a lightning spell. It shatters every container in the room allowing the contents inside to mix. - "Our research!" The trio quickly flees the room as the liquids bubble, belch and continue to form one gelatinous pool. As his companions rush up the stairway, the spiky-haired lad pauses and points to a sign before he exits. Before the heroes can finish reading the sign, some goop splashes and lands on it melting it to nothing. The giant pool has grown in size and has now blocked their exit to the stairwell leading back into the city. It has also cut the heroes off from the hallway leading deeper into the Apothecarium. The Party is now trapped in the center of the room with the acidic pool growing larger, filling any empty space. As if things couldn't get any worse, sentient blobs materialize from the pool. Thankfully, the safety cabinet is within reach and the containers were undamaged by the reckless mage. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! The Enemies: Acidic Pool - "Blob blob..."

All three turned around in unison. A female, a youngster whose face appeared melted or partially chewed by a giant child, and a middle-aged fella. "Yes, yes we are aware of the time constraint. This is delicate work here. Do not disturb us again!" They quickly returned to their work but now what will the Party do?
