Well, first they would sue TLG for making light of the situation by putting out the Alien Conquest theme...

Preaching to the choir, I know. Cronk and Boomers sounds like a great name for a Minstrel team. You in? I know it was necessary but it still makes me sad. We're tanks, we should be able to attack from the front row. I'm trying to remember the last time I was able to...

Yeah, but... Okay. Once these battles are over, I'll let you borrow them until the end of the quest. For the good of the team. You have a much better chance of rolling hits anyway. Just keep in mind that you'll lose a lot of your SP. Maybe I'll let you borrow my helmet as well if Masked lets me continue using his. It'd do you more good than the cultist hat, now that you can cast spells anyway.

I'd like to find a diamond to imbue into the twin broadswords. But they're not meant to be a main weapon anyway. When I saw them, I really wanted them but I neglected to remember how infrequently Cronk actually gets to hit things.

It truly is awesome from a RP perspective. Still even with my SP, it's amazing how much health I lose in battles. Maybe I'm just too selfless in being the meat-shield. I'm still a little ticked that SP got nerfed because of Docken but Cronk is the one who pays for it. Seriously Docken breezes through the fields and Cronk has had to come up with non-traditional plans to survive the last few battles. I actually would love to have had Ennoc's Grattitude equipped for this battle. I'd actually be gaining health this round!

Yes, Haldor. Whole point is drawing away free hit and Dyric is already targeting that archer.

That's only for people who don't know how to profit. I have it all planned. I plan on using it from level 30 on. I've thought about using it for imbuing scrolls and such once I get ahold of some. It just doesn't pay to be blessed in most fights. I've wanted the counterstrike gloves since they were introduced. They're the only way Cronk causes any damage in battles...

Well done, Chromeknight! Things to do: 1. Get Hinckwell reputation. 2. Get an awesome instrument. 3. Find a logical RP reason for Cronk to try Minstrel. 4. Profit.

Besides some vagueness about genies, I never heard for certain what it does. I think we've got this battle now, though.

I was just very careful not to get Dyric knocked out. The only thing that would have screwed us over was if Skrall rolled poorly, and he did very well. Good work, Skrall! One less archer is very good thing. Okay, here is plan. Since enemy is jinxed, that makes party extra lucky. Cronk will heal Dyric from back row. Haldor, if Cronk should fail in healing, use potion on Dyric. It is imperative that Dyric remain standing. If Cronk is successful, Haldor can bash a guard. Skrall and Dyric should both take on an archer apiece. Stay in back row, friends. Order: Cronk-PC A+ CD=18-17=1 Haldor- PC B=8-7=1 Skrall- CG A=10-8=2 Dyric- CG C=10-0=10

I thought about the smelling salts but in the previous rounds, it would have been a death sentence for however took them. Genie? At first I thought you'd lost it, Zeph, and then I took another look at our inventories. Scorpiox, what does your Emerald lamp of summoning do? I had assumed you just named an emerald all fancy.

You gave Pog Cleric A a free hit even though Dyric targeted him. Dyric is still up.

I thought you'd run another round of our battle there for a minute. I'd forgotten that you're facing your own crisis. Now how to use that to our advantage...

Then you can let us in on them.

Here is Cronk's idea. Cronk will use Phoenix Essence on Haldor from back row. Once revived, Haldor should use Health Core on Skrall. Skrall should continue to attack archer and hope for lucky roll. Dyric should conitnue against Cleric and think assassin-y thoughts, hoping to dispose of at least one archer. Friends should survive round that way if all goes well. Though Skrall should check Cronk's math on that. Stay in back row, friends. Order: Cronk- Free hits- CL B+ CC=18-17=1 damage Haldor- AC+CD=34-7=27 Skrall- AD+CA=34-8=26 Dyric- CE=10

Welcome! I've been a fan of your comic for quite some time. It's great to have you here.

Awesome, Sandy! Though, I was thinking more of something from "Man of La Mancha". Now someone needs to host a couple of Hinckwell quests for Cronk that drop instruments at least as good as those.

Rescue?

I really want to play a minstrel now. Those are some pretty neat instruments.

Sure it wasn't...

What sort of videos are you making, Flipz? Ew.

Like he was the only one who fled a battle. Hypocrite.

Bal... Dibs on his hat.

We went two for three last round. We may do so again. I'm hoping my party won't have to use our essences. Couldn't use one on Flipz even if we wanted too. And Pandora's party isn't doing terribly. It's hard to keep NPCs standing, they're going to be the first ones to fall. Probably the only reason Felton didn't last battle was Zepher's mistake about his SP.

I don't see why you didn't. The battles are only going to get tougher from here on out. I just hope why don't have to split up quite so much from here on. I feel bad having to make the decision when things go wrong.
