Cronk... I messed up. Badly. If this had been a real battle, especially with someone as powerful as Wren... I'd have gotten us all killed. I... I haven't slept, Cronk. Not since the Temple of Zoot. That shouldn't excuse my actions though. That shouldn't change anything. What kind of leader am I? I told you I respected your judgement, and now I'm asking you for it. Am I fit to do this? Or am I liable to doom anyone I lead?

You can still attack, there's just a chance that your move may strike a hero instead of the enemy.

QM Note: Yeah, I just noticed that myself.

I think I've sufficiently beefed up my enemies.

The battle competition over, I sit down, exhausted. I glance over at Cronk, wondering if he's suffered a similar insomnia since the Wren battle. People can't go on like this forever. Not without extreme consequences. I think back to the competition. If that had been a real battle... perhaps I just wasn't fit to be a leader. Perhaps I was just liable to get people killed. Perhaps it all just wasn't worth it anymore.

One of the rooms features almost a direct copy of the Wizard Battle set, minus the Eye of Sauron in the Palantir.

Thalion reaches down to investigate the body, when the Assassin's eyes blink open and he kicks out, sending Thalion flying. The assassin gets up, bow and arrow ready. Fools!

Dyric's heavy eyelid blink open. Blast it. Sorry. There does not appear to be much useful to do, so I shall do nothing. Would the same battle order work with everyone?

The heroes climb up the stairs to the bridge. They briefly look over the massive city of Duplovia, then continue forward to a body riddled with arrows.

I share many of the same sentiments. I went back a while ago and realized there was about half a dozen people Dyric has said one or two things to, but nothing more. These are people I'd totally forgotten he'd met, and thus he would likely forget as well, I find.

I've already started building for Part 2 of Duplovia (Sorry, Masked ) but it'll be a few months yet before I pitch it. And when I say a few months, I hopefully don't mean a year and a half.

I have the exact same sentiments. My only issue is that Bombur - one of the most prominent dwarves in the book - didn't have a single line in the movie. A lot of his focus is in Mirkwood, though, so I hope Desolation of Smaug remedies this.

Is there a reason the carton of milk is at full health?

OOC: I've been updating the original BL as we went. I know Nerwen, just... erm... alright, I can't think of a good excuse for my delay. Final BL: Xander Cronk Nerwen Dyric

Oh, okay. ...Generally I was thinking of keeping Dyric away from Duplovia... ...but this would be so worth it.

So does that mean you're not going through with any more? That's a bit saddening, I was looking for to it!

We don't run on any timetable. From what I heard, you boys took a detour to Newharbour? So its really not a problem.

Sandy, Quest 66 is kicking off to an amazing start!

I attack the goat from the back row.

Let's get going, then. Come on, Aves. The Heroes enter the shining city of Duplovia, marveling at its elegance and beauty. Tall buildings, beautiful structures, and ruins of old amaze the four men, who have never seen anything like it before. They walk down the Great Highway, the only road leading directly to the Castle of Duplovia. They can see it raised gloriously in the distance, ringing the grand Mount Duplus. As the Heroes take in the beauty, they hear an orchestra playing the gorgeous Duplovian anthem, boasting of the country's resilience bravery, and victory. Through the massive doors of the Northern Gate comes an entourage adored in reds and white. The Delfrin anthem takes over, and it becomes clear who the newcomers are. The celebrations reach their grandest point, and the Heroes are swept away by the beauty and elegance of the occasion. The Delfrin anthem reaches its final note, suspended in a beautiful close. Suddenly, an arrow fires through the air, striking one of the Delfrin soldiers. Assassin! Take cover! Heroes, stand back! The Delfrin archers take position as arrows continue to fly at them. They release a massive volley up at the arch where the arrows come from. After several tense minutes, the archers drop their bows and return to their position in the march. Apologies for that, Quellir. If you want to investigate the crime scene, feel free to. Either way, we have a schedule to keep. I understand. Aves, go with the Delfrin group. They'll need the cover if any more assassins get wise. Sir! Heroes. We have a choice. We can investigate the bridge like the captain said, or we can continue forward with the convoy. I leave the choice to you.

That... That is gorgeous. Rarely do I get this stunned by a set, but this... I absolutely have to find a way to get this. The tower is perfect. Wormtongue is perfect. The ent is perfect. The impeccably detailed interior is a massive bonus. Frankly, I don't care that it has an open back - Bag End has an open back, and it still works fine.

Pellaeon gave a confused look. If you insist, sir.

Far from it! If anything, it is I who owe you. You men have fought bravely, and there is much honour in your quest. I will be sure to tell the Bonapartes about you. All heroes gain reputation with the Bonapartes!
