What's the estimated time of completion for Quest #8 Sacred Sands? It's part 1 so does that mean it's ending with a "to be continued..." soon?

En Sabah Nur approached the table where his friend Haldor was seated with other heroes. Upon hearing the cleric speak of his elven love interest, the earth mage paused, spun on his heels and walked in the other direction.

3. Ninja Nin's Underwater Bank & Money Transfer - 2 points 7. lisqr's Subs - 1 point 10. Spacy Smoke's Sunken City Corner - 1 point 15. Stardusty's Is it a Fish? - 1 point

Is there any limit to or penalty for skipping a turn? Can a party effectively carry a player who chooses never to act through an entire mission? A lazy party member or a cowardly party member would be hilarious to me, as long as I wasn't in a party with them.

En Sabah Nur stood silently at the top of the stairs seemingly unnoticed by the Halls' heroes. He smirked as a barbarian launched himself from the stairs and crashed to the ground. "Well there goes my newest least favorite hero. He's liable to get his party killed." Nur continued to observe the goings-on of the Hall. Heroes returning from their quests were answering the questions of newer adventurers. An impromptu fashion show broke out as hero after hero decided to show off his or her new outfit. Nur shook his head as he saw Skrall conversing with the reckless barbarian from earlier. "That ogre can make friends with anyone." En Sabah Nur headed to the bar and ordered a sugary drink before heading to the questboard. It was time to put the Dozenhands task behind him and partake in a mission once more. "Tresspassers, eh? Most likely someone starving and simply looking for food." En Sabah Nur continued reading. "I welcome the chance at teaching young toughs some manners. Kids..." Nur settled on the final posted quest. He never got along with other mages anyway, so the loss of relationship with the Ziegfrieds would be no loss at all. The dark mage signed his name and headed back up the stairs. En Sabah Nur signs up for Quests #10 and 11.

Next to the smelly orc, yes but look who you're behind. Is that foreshadowing of a relationship to come ? heh heh hehe. Great pic! EDIT: Added/Quoted Sandy's post as it is now two pages away!

Aw, I thought the heroes were due to escape soon(er). I need more Lady Wren! It wouldn't have been so bad if the few potions the party had were used on members more generously or if heals were attempted.

Nur nods at the venerable mage. "Do you think the Ziegfrieds could have created it?" Nur stares at the new arrival as his thoughts wonder who is the authority on Darkness magic.

En Sabah Nur wandered the halls to escape the commotion caused by the arrival of a skeleton claiming to be a hero. His gaze focused on the Heroes Gallery before stopping by the Library. "Hail, librarian. I am En Sabah Nur. Is there any record or list of the heroes from Heroica that is ordered by profession?" Nur removed a handful of dirt from his pocket. "As you can see, I specialize in Earth magic." As the mage spoke, the dirt slowly floated to eye level and began to spell out the question, "Care for a banana?" "I am interested in a list where I can immediately identify my fellow mages so that I might contact them if I ever have questions concerning their magical specializations." En Sabah Nur grinned as the floating dirt formed into the shape of a banana before dissipating... Meanwhile, near the bar... Scheherazade: "Where'd all this dirt come from?!"

lol He's a welcome addition to the world of Heroica RPG!

I say ban him from the Hall. It's unfair for a character to have the ability to pull a bone for enemy distraction whenever he chooses.

As he entered the Hall, En Sabah Nur is shocked to see his friend Haldor conversing with what appears to be a decaying skeletal knight. "You there, bearded elf in blue. You appear to be quite knowledgeable in all things magic. What manner of necromancy is this that animates that corpse?"

Nope.

My favorite Tesni moment is from Quest #4 when she gets bit by a spider then goes into a berzerker frenzy for multiple rounds with zero effect on the undead target. Silly barbarians. :)

Good luck healing this battle, Ellaria!

I like this idea but with a Venom requirement of 20...or 30...or 50. Make a player truely earn the right to never have to purchase a vial of venom again.

"Now that you mention it, I must find somewhere to freshen up." Nur patted the ogre as he whispered. "I think Haldor has told our story in its entirety already. Excuse me gentlemen." En Sabah Nur left the table in order to get clean and day dream about the heroes on other quests.

En Sabah Nur buys from Anwyl: {En Sabah Nur buys weapon power upgrade WP:4} 140g - 40g = 100 gold remaining {En Sabah Nur buys weapon power upgrade WP:5} 100g - 50g = 50 gold remaining Nur handed Anwyl his Sangriste Dagger. "Greetings dwarf. I seek your expert hand in improving the condition of my knife." Anwyl studied the blade and looked at the mage. "Ye ever consider fusing a gem into this thing? There's a slot right there for one. I'll return in a few moments." Anwyl returned with the enhanced blade. "Will ye be needing anything else?" The mage thanked the dwarf and walked the streets of Eubric towards Heroica Hall.

Nur watches in amazement at Haldor's soul extraction technique. "What or who was that?"

LOOT (Crystal Chalice - 70 gold): 25 gold - Haldor 25 gold - Skrall 20 gold - En Sabah Nur En Sabah Nur handed his comrades 25 gold each. He listened as Haldor recounted the events of the Dozenhands mission to Elgar. "I too am curious as to whether the Town Watch will seek assistance from the 'Hall again. When he has no choice (and after he's calmed down) I'm sure Lilbelly will be looking for heroes once again. As big of a problem as Dozenhands is, the Captain may be posting the mission again. Perhaps you could even sell the new party your map, Haldor." Nur chuckled. "No, I'm sure Donny would use a different set of tunnels or have a completely different escape route all together." En Sabah Nur fiddled with his loaded die as he stared across the 'Hall. He spotted Scheherazade. "Your Sham, wa-is he much of a party-goer?" The orc appeared to be confused. "Eh, nevermind." Nur continued to finger his die as he thought about his budding alliegence with the Wolfgang. The dark mage grinned.

And neither of you will be 15! Hurry up and level!

Nur looked at the ogre then down to his coin purse. He imagined it a hundred gold lighter. He looked to the cleric, unable to determine his thoughts from his blank expression. The dark mage's eyes returned to his coin purse. He remembered coming to Eubric with almost nothing and how long it had taken for him to be accumulate this much money. Nur's glance returned briefly to his friends before he addressed the Captain. "You definately weren't exaggerating about Dozenhands' prowess as an escape artist, Captain. My companions and I have been shot, poisoned, stabbed, and even crushed by bricks from a collapsed tunnel in our pursuit of your thief. From our ragged and disheveled appeareance you must certainly believe we made the best possible effort to capture Donny Dozenhands." En Sabah Nur dusted off his pack and removed Doznehands' dress and wig. "We managed to acquire this disguise. Dozenhands' latest ruse was to dress as a maiden to get close to victims and aid his disappearance into crowds. I am indeed sorry we did not bring the scoundrel to justice." Nur bowed low, hoping Lilbelly would forget he failed to address the missing money all the while peeking at his friends to see if they had anything else to add. ~(speak freely)~

LOOT: Heavy Metal Rod - WP: 5 - Haldor Nothing! - Skrall ( ) Loaded Die + Crystal Chalice - En Sabah Nur En Sabah Nur twirls the Heavy Metal Rod three times before it slips from his hand. The rod clangs loudly as the sewer walls bounce the sound throughout the tunnel. "Here Haldor, you can have this thing. It's too heavy for my liking." Nur picks up the die. "Hm, it's weighted. Hopefully this die will give me more luck than it did for you." Nur pockets the die and chalice. "Aye, let's see how much this chalice will fetch us at market." The dark mage looked to his companions. "I do believe we've explored this place enough. Let us leave the sewers and face our employer before Skrall begins to panic. Do either of you remember the order we pulled the levers in? I'm sure one of them closed the gate we passed through after defeating those Wolfgang members."

"Which one is that again, the one where we fought the toads? Forgive my confusion, I'm not feeling so well. I'm sure once I've received the healing blessings from Haldor's gods my mental faculties shall return to me in working condition. Very well, back to the other lever." The party returns to the previous tunnel where they encountered the sewer vermin.
