"Are we ready to go back to the passage behind the mirror?"

The twins turned to each other and laughed. "Why wouldn't he hire us? We're capable. You scrubs could barely handle two of us. Of course, we do have the highest health in the crew." The goblin puffed up his chest from behind the twine used to bind him. "Hey, what's that coward with the shield trying to do, take a nap? There are scared children to save and your knight is going to sleep. Fail!" "Heh heh yeah, FAIL!" The goblin demolitionist's toothy grin grew even wider and more devious looking than ever. "Perhaps things would have gone better for you if that barbarian would have stuck to one target. Of course, our taunting has that effect on weaker minds. And you didn't take advantage of that nifty lightning element on yer bow. Topaz causes a helluva lot of problems for my brother's cart." The bound twins watch with disgust as their posessions are distributed. "I can't watch anymore! No more questions until you finish divying up our stuff and ask us nicely." "I want to see who gets the rest of my gumbo. It's delicious, I made it myself." QM Note: Looks like 1x Ladle of Gumbo, telescope, morningstar, spear and frying pan are still undecided upon. Party stat update after loot distribution.

Results of Round Six Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Shield (Battle Frenzy) >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart/Goblin Demolitionist - Miss Haldor Skovgaard vs. Artillery Cart/Goblin Demolitionist - Hit Ellaria Arbour vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Critical Hit As the battle concludes, Tesni enters another frenzy taking out the goblin engineer and his artillery cart. After finally pushing through his fear of the artillery cart, Hoke's target is destroyed and the knight must face a new fear in the form of the goblin demolitionist. He swings and misses while Haldor scores a hit on the goblin. Ellaria avenges her goddess by ending the fight. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Hoke, Haldor, Ellaria gain a level of experience and Tesni gains half a level. The enemies drop 40 gold, a Telescope, a Magnifying Glass, two ladles of Goblin Gumbo, a frying pan, a training spear and a training morning star. Party: Tesni Hightribe (played by Peppermint_M) Level 11½ Barbarian (Party Leader) Power: 19 Health: 18/18 Gold: 110 Inventory: Cysgodion the Great Sword of Darkness (WP: 8, Darkness), Cryfder (WP:6), 2 Potions, Phoenix Essence, 2 Meads, Venom Haldor Skovgaard (played by Scorpiox) Level 5 Cleric ~Shrinking Sickness~ Power: 12 Health: 13/13 Ether: 9/9 Gold: 7 Inventory: Heavy Metal Rod (WP:7), Shovel, Pickaxe, Remedy, Venom and a fur-lined bedroll Alexis Fenral (played by Masked Builder) Level 11½ Ranger Power: 19 Health: 1/15 Gold: 22 Inventory: Mockthril Longbow (WP:8, Lightning), Smoke Bomb, Lightning Bomb, Potion, Venom, Pickax, Shovel, Bedroll, Bone, Ancient Throwing Dagger (WP:7), Magic Compass[/color] Ellaria Arbour (played by Sandy) Level 7 Cleric ~Shrinking Sickness~ Power: 17 Health: 12/15 Ether: 11/11 Gold: 72 Inventory: Ignis Fatuus (WP: 10, fire-elemental), 1 Potion, 2 Tonics, Phoenix Essence, Ice Bomb, Lightning Bomb, Water Bomb, Bedroll, Pickaxe Hoke Ablesword (played by UsernameMDM) Level 7 Knight ~Shrinking Sickness~ Power: 15 Health: 10/16 Gold: 156 Inventory: Vintul, the Greatsword of Wind (Great sword: WP 8, wind), Kriegsmesser (Long Sword: WP 3), Steel Buckler (Shield: SP 2), Cultist Hat, Emerald, Potion x2, Venom, Bedroll, Pickaxe, Shovel, Magnifying Glass Party Leader, how will these items be divided? 40 gold Telescope - Allows the hero to see far. Magnifying Glass - Allows the hero to see trap triggers. 2x Ladle of Goblin Gumbo - Provides the Haste effect for one battle, expires at end of quest. Frying Pan (WP: 1, +1 Health; suitable for all classes) - Must be equipped as primary weapon for health boost. Training Spear (WP: 2, suitable for barbarians) - A weapon used for sparring. Training Morning Star (WP: 2, suitable for clerics and knights) - A weapon used for sparring. As the party's adrenaline subsides, the negative effects fade. Haldor's mouth returns to normal and Hoke's fear leaves him. Alexis's nap appears to have been all that was needed to remove her Shrinking Sickness all together. Hoke and Tesni quickly tie up the unconscious goblin twins while the clerics tend to Alexis. As the loot is divided, the goblins begin to stir. "Hey, let us go! We didn't mean it, honest!" How will the party respond? OOC: Let me know if I've missed anything.

From the cleric's body language, Nur picked up on the Ratibor's thoughts. He put his hand on the man's shoulder and looked him in the eye before letting out a loud guffaw. "Haha. My friend, in my first mission I walked my group into a tripwire and collapsed a ceiling on the entire party. I'm surprised that ogre didn't eat me on the spot. That could have been avoided if we simply took the time to proceed cautiously. This was a magical trap. How could any of us known? We shall complete this mission, successfully!" Nur reached into his pouch and retrieved an ice bomb.

"Barbarian, let's end this quickly with Ice Bombs!"

En Sabah Nur was also blown away by the construction. He knew he'd never be able to build something like this. "Wouldn't it be a blast if this tile activated the these gorgeous statues and they attacked us?" Nur stepped on the circular arrow tile on his way to taking a seat. He had a slight headache (no doubt brought on by his recent brush with death) that was making it a little difficult for him to concentrate. The odd whispers weren't helping. "Bohring, can you and your friends keep it down?!" The party gave the mage a confused look so Nur put his head down on the desk. "Alf, do your barbarian senses tingle for any clues?"

Results of Round Five Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: >Ellaria Arbour uses Item - Potion >Haldor Skovgaard uses Item - Potion Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Miss >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart - Damage Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist vs. Ellaria Arbour - Free Hit The clerics use a potion restoring 10 health to each of them. Ellaria consumes hers and Haldor with his mouth still magically fused shut, dumps the potion on his head. Wanting no part of the painful dark sting, the annoyingly nimble goblin ducks under Tesni's blade. Attempting to break through his irrational fear, Hoke lashes out with a boot as he kicks the unmanned artillery cart. The attack does more damage to him (1) than the cart but it doesn't register to the heavily armored knight. The party briefly loses sight of the demolitionist and he scores a hit on Ellaria from behind. Three annoying enemies remain so the battle continues. Enemies: Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - "A real nice bunch of friends you've got there, Ranger. You'd be better off joining our team. We wouldn't let you miss out on experience.

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 have acted. "How much longer do you think this will go on for? I'm ready to do something else." "You know we have the most health in the group. We can outlast anyone!" "Yeah, due to the abuse from our bigger companions, we've had to get tough."

Nur smiled at Alf, genuinely pleased to see the barbarian back on his feet. "I will use a light spell from the back row on Gargoyle B."

"I may retire heroing after this. Thieving was safer than this. " En Sabah Nur is overwhelmed with loot. "I am too tired to argue with you on this, Ratibor. I'll hold onto this stuff unless anyone really wants something. Lead on cleric."

The spent mage fell to his knees as the magic faded from him. He slowly opened his eyes to see the result of his latest spell. Half of the mirrored cleric's face was blown away to reveal the skeleton below. Despite the visible sinew, bones and hanging skin, Mirror Maurice continued walking toward him. Before the final blow could be struck, Nur reached into his pouch and threw a fire bomb.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too, Etzel but maybe Mirrored hero is blown up first in the initial blast then he'd be destroyed before the rest of the blast reaches the mirror? Maybe... I know I wouldn't mind too much. Would give me more time to focus on hosting without making mistakes!

Nur watches as the cleric collapses. "Huh. Guess I should have left things in your hands that round, Ennoc." Nur reached for the Smoke Bomb he knew wasn't there. One of the first things his thievin' father taught him was to always have a means of escape. The mage felt stupid for allowing his cockyness to override his better judgement when last at the marketplace. Perhaps if he was a better mage, things wouldn't end this way. Blood dripping from his mouth, Nur smiled weakly at the mirror images. "All right if I am to go down, I would do so under my own power. Magic Mirror, Earth Spell (ooc: /shrug) , from the back row!"

The demolitions specialist throws another stick of dynamite. Unable to concentrate, Alexis can't find her target. The cheeky bastard sneaks into the back row and damages the ranger for 2 points of damage. Hoke manages a critical hit on the unmanned artillery cart but the damage is halfed as he strikes from the back row. Haldor and Ellaria each score a hit on their targets. Alexis finally succumbs to the poison. Three resilient enemies remain so the battle continues. Enemies: Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - "Woo! We got one!"

"Our companions chose us to deter you for a reason. We're the wild card of the group. We specialize in explosives and DIVERSIONS!"

How about the entire battle was merely a vision from Ennoc given to Ratibor in one of those cinematic moments where the camera zooms from the scene out through a character's eye. We start the battle over and Ratibor tells us to throws bombs at the beginning. :grin: :grin:

TOO MANY NUMBERS! I still can't fathom how you ran multiple quests at once. I'm slow to post and still get things wrong. Hm, any chance Nur can use remove obstacle to destroy the wall the mirror's hanging on? mirror crashes and images disappear. Hurray /win.

"Can't we all just be friends?" OOC: MEGABLOKS!, had Tesni's Power @ 18 the entire time when it should have been 19. It'll be updated for the next round. Feel free to update your signature.

- "Hey scaredy-pants, why don't you run on home to yer momma!" OOC: Yup, I'll fix it.

Results of Round Three Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Shield (Battle Frenzy) >Alexis Fenral vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Special Damage (Dynamite Toss) >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart - Miss Haldor Skovgaard vs. Artillery Cart - Critical Hit Ellaria Arbour vs. Goblin Demolitionist - Hit Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Free hit against Tesni The Goblin Twins scattered when they saw the barbarian charging. Tesni managed to clip each one allowing her sword's dark energy to do double damage (36) while also hitting the artillery cart for 18 damage. Alexis bends over to spew her guts out, giving the goblin time to throw some dynamite. It damages all players on the field. With eyes closed, Hoke lunges at the unnmanned artillery cart and misses completely. Taking advantage of his disorientation from the explosion, Ellaria's staff connects with the demolitionist's helmeted head. Growing tired of trying to dismantle the artillery cart, Haldor whacks it with his heavy metal rod, scoring a critical hit. Alexis takes one point of damage from the poison. The untargetted engineer attempts to get a sneak attack on Tesni but Hoke intervenes with his shield before cowering to the back row. Three enemies remain so the battle continues.

lol I thought you went out of town or something? Does Sentinel protect from explosions/magical attacks/specials or just physical damage like the description says?

What level range is your quest tailored for currently (if you're willing to share).

En Sabah Nur fingered his lucky die. He had relied on it too often to get him out of trouble. It was time he relied on his own mind. "Ratibor, allow me to make the first move. No offense to Ennoc but I will consume a potion from the back row. You target the mirror. If I am correct, the barbarian will score a weak hit against me(2) then your counterpart will score the same against you in the back row. I will be open to Jensen's attack receiving moderate (4) damage. The next round I shall terminate the false Jensen while you target the mirror again. You should barely be able to stand (@ 1hp) but I know you're strong. Then we'll repeat the process with you using a potion. Of course, the decision is yours. If you want to rely solely on a miracle from your deity, I'm willing to roll the dice." En Sabah Nur grinned a bloody smile and prepared himself as the Mirror Party closed in on the duo.

Hmmm, with two failed quests under his belt, Nur can leave the Hall and join Lady Wren. Character Development!

Hahah no problem guys. Keep praying for us everybody! Nope. It's meant to be a fun/cosmetic weapon (the other stuff is trash drops) that anyone can wield. The stat on it was merely a way to get people to want to spend the money to upgrade it for their primary weapon.

Unless I'm going by an old image... Barbarian, (2) Extra Critical Hit: "barbarian causes damage equal to three times their weapon power added to their level"(WP x 3 + LEVEL) Her WP is 8, 8 * 3 = 24, 24 + 11 = 35. Double damage from gem = 70 damage WHAAAAAAAAH I go afk for a second. Why you no use a potion! X_X
