Just thought I'd stop by for a quick update... (iPod+free wifi=awesome) My computer is, ah, toast. I'm going to have to buy a new one. The guys at the computer shop offered a discount since they couldn't save my pc, but it's going to take a few more weeks to scrape the money together. So... See y'all then.

If it's okay with Sandy, all of my questers can go back to the hall. We can re-start the quest when my computer troubles are fixed. Again, I'm dreadfully sorry guys. In quest 19, can someone please take control of Jess? Scorpiox, you're welcome to. And yes, I will be extremely inactive for a while. I'm sorry.

ATTENTION MEMBERS OF QUEST 21 My computer has suffered massive failure. All of my text files for the entire quest were wiped, and my computer will be in the shop for some time. So quest 21 is on an indefinite pause. I sincerely apologize. This message has been posted from a public computer.

Results of Round 1: Boomingham vs. Crozen- Shield Boomingham rushes at Crozen. Barty, however, stops him short, and wags a finger at him. "Not without my blessing first!"

Sorry guys, I've just been out with a slight sports injury and haven't been able to bring myself to do this. I'll try to get this quest going a bit faster from here on end. BTW, feel free to commentate on Crozen and Boomingham's battle while it's going. Cheer him on, boo Crozen... Just do whatever you want. Crozen gave Boomingham a look of ill-disguised contempt, then let out an evil twinkly laugh. "Trolls and Orcs, eh? You make me laugh tin boy. I have killed dragons. Nagas like your friend over there. The northern Cyclopses. I have even subdued to Ox of Dil! I am the last of the D'Morgan line of dark sorcerers! I am stronger than even the gods themselves! So have at thee, Paladin! We shall see if your healing powers can best the power of the darkest sorceress in the known world!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!

Read them again. It's possible to miss something the first read-through. Have you read The Belgariad or its sequel series The Malloreon? Those are some amazing books that will whittle away hours of your life.

Alright Zeph, it's almost ready... Just don't get too mad at me when you see it...

I know, I know... I'm such a bad QM. I'll give you something to do right now, right after I post Zeph's battle. ... ... ...

Thanks. And... I know... I just have to make up find the stats for Crozen and figure out her credentials. She's gotta have something to counter your impressive resume.

Yeah, I know... I really dropped the ball on what I wanted to do with Jess. Hopefully I'll do a better job when I train for an advanced class.

Just took the survey. Boy, did I choose the wrong class or what...

If I could find the original Jess... Yeah, she'll get a new one when she trains for an advanced class.

"Haldor!" Jess squeaked as she threw herself at him. "It's been far too long!" Looking around at her surroundings, Jess saw that it obviously was not a good time. Drawing her sword, she turned to Tesni. "Oh, it was a good 'ol time! We killed some people, made some tough decisions... Standard every day fare. " "I'll kill Rebel T from the Front Row of battle!"

Sorry to my questmates in 19 and my questers in 21. I've suffered a slight sports injury that's kept me away from being able to post much these past couple of days. Normal posting shall resume shortly!

Depends on the outcome. If your champion wins, you all gain experience from two battles. If he loses, then it's quest failed. I was going to explain this when the battle began...

The sound of a staff clangs on the ground. The combatants stop fighting and look up at the balcony. "That's quite enough death. Soon enough, we won't have a guard force. Send your best fighter to fight me. We'll settle this that way."

Alright, here's a little disclaimer for my questers. I am in no way forging your results. I am using a six sided die. This die has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 on it. The die is taken from a monopoly game, and has not been altered in any way. Your results are what you are genuinely rolling. You just all have total crap luck. Just thought that needed to be said.

Round 7 Guard Battle: Boomingham vs. Guard B- Miss Amorith vs. Secondary Guard B- Miss Sarick vs. Guard B- Miss Nerwen Heals Octavian- No Heal Octavian vs. Guard C- Damage The next round of battle begins. Boomingham, high off of his success from the previous battle, misses his target. Amorith's bolt of dark energy goes straight over the head of his target, as does Sarick's bolt of white. Nerwen fails to heal Octavian, who then gets hit by the third guard for 10 damage. The head guard scores a hit on Boomingham (-6), while the Fourth guard scores a hit on Amorith (-5). Five enemies remain. The battle continues.

I'm reading The Mallorean, the sequel to The Belgariad. It's a series of five books that chronicles an epic journey across a beautiful fantasy world in search of a King's son. I'd definitely recommend it, right after you read The Belgariad.
