At least one... to the knee

[BountyBeast]

"Oh well. Is Kid okay? We can't keep going without our marksman."

OoC: If I'm not mistaken the stats in red (se above) are faulty: the spellpower should probably be 21 (11+8+2) and the max ether (which is correct) should be split down to 5+10 instead of 5+10. Am I correct or I have I misunderstood something?

[Asphalt]

Fixed i believe

[MysticModulus]

Fixed i believe

OoC: thanks a lot!

[dum]

Kid screams in terror as he comes to consciousness. "Damn bugbears." he mutters as he notices the lack of danger. He notices everyone is gathering their items and leaving the fields. "Is that it then? Farewell, my comrades. I hope we meet again someday, perhaps with more experience under our belts." He grabs his crossbow and begins to head out of the fields, taking his final bows. "Godspeed"

OOC: Thanks for my first questish thing, even though I was a bit underprepared. Thanks for the experience.

[Asphalt]

A new band of heros walk up to the gates of old Mack Donauld's Farm.

The normally bustling activity of the farm is nowhere to be seen. All of the animals seem to have scattered or hidden themselves away. There are bloody paths of earth, deep footprints, and signs of battle everywhere. As the heroes look at the scene an old man, Farmer Mack Donauld stumbles up to them, pitchfork in hand, his face streaked with blood and dirt.

Heroes, by the Harvest it is good you are here. The seasons have shifted, the creatures are breeding out of control. And He is back. We forced them off into the fields, but I don't think we could do it again. Please, you gotta thin them herds out, or the farm might not survive to see the harvest. Have ye decided on who will lead ye? If so, please make haste.

Ooc:

Yes that is right. (Change it if it would be easer for you.) And if it is not clear I have two different Kobold Sharp Wings. (I did not feeling writing it out.) Plus, I just bought 13 Potions in the marketplace, so the gold count went to 301.

About time I was tired of sneaking out here, I mean it is great to be here. For "field commander" I thought Kiray was going to do that. I only came out here to help the other out so, one of them should do it.

[KotZ]

My gold should be 556, I just updated it in my stats.

"I'll lead our party." Kiray steps forward. "Who's ready?"

I'll let that sneakin bit slide this time since I need you so much, but yI better not find you been the one stealing my corn.

My gold should be 556, I just updated it in my stats.

"I'll lead our party." Kiray steps forward. "Who's ready?"

Good you will need a decisive leader if you are going to make it far in there, especially if you plan on going after Him and his lackeys. Where do you plan on headed first?

[KotZ]

"I say we go to 1, the Derelict Mill," Kiray announces. "Anyone want to try a challenge?"

[Enceladus]

Heroes, by the Harvest it is good you are here. The seasons have shifted, the creatures are breeding out of control. And He is back. We forced them off into the fields, but I don't think we could do it again. Please, you gotta thin them herds out, or the farm might not survive to see the harvest. Have ye decided on who will lead ye? If so, please make haste.

Naim enters the farmyard several minutes late, and immediately plonks himself on a tree stump and begins wiping mud off his boots. He nods in greeting to his companions "They did not exaggerate the walk to the fields from the hall he mutters "Or the lack of a trail-oh how I wish I bought one of those ugly pairs of boots form Fabian's boutique!" he laments to no one in particular.

"Who is this 'him' you speak of?" Na'ims eyes gleam with greed "Do we get some special reward if we defeat it?"

"When I was child, before the schism in Spelesia between the Fenari and the Alpeith, my father occasionally took me on hunts," Na'im explains "But it was our custom to release the animals one caught during the hunt-that part always perplexed me, for what is the point of sport if you cannot savour your success? But that shouln't be a problem today, should it farmer? I am looknig forward to getting lots of loot!"

"I'll lead our party." Kiray steps forward. "Who's ready?"

"I say we go to 1, the Derelict Mill," Kiray announces. "Anyone want to try a challenge?"

"I know not the way around these fields, so you will be a much better choice than me at any rate-lead the way Lady Nayasto!" Naim plants his his staff in the earth and struggles to his feet "And if what the good farmer is saying is true, I do not think any challenges will be necessary at this stage."

"Master Germ!" Naim says in greeting and makes his way over to his friend "How about a bet, eh? If you kill more beasts here than I do, I give you 10 gold, but If you kill more beats than I do, I have to give you 10 gold-what do you say?"

OOC:I've got updated stats on the last page of the 136 topic, which are correct, except that I should have 30 gold not 88, after my marketplace purchasesand two more tonics, two more remedies and the nimbus broomstick should be WP 9

"He" is called the Mirage Knight. Twill be great glory to any who can best him.

[CMP]

I just traded my Vest of Faded Trials for a Redhawk Helmet (which I now have equipped in place of the Orcish Gauntlets).

"He" is called the Mirage Knight. Twill be great glory to any who can best him.

"And where is this warrior?" questioned Miderun, who had just now arrived behind the rest of the party, Orokuul balanced on her shoulder. Her new helmet was jammed on over her head as she looked around the Fields. "The Windmill sounds fine to me, Kiray can lead the party this time. Perhaps we take on the Debuffed challenge? We don't have very many immunities that would come in handy anyhow."

[KotZ]

"Debuffed is is then at the Windmill. Let us head off."

Last any of my animals saw him he was headed West. Cant tell ye any more than that. Good Luck to you heroes.

With their final farewells said the heroes make their way to the Derelict Windmill.

The smells of rot and decay invade your nose as you step through the empty frame where the door to the mill once stood. In the dim light you can hear the scurrying and scuffling of dozens of tiny feet. Minuscule claws clack, clatter, and scrape across decaying stone. As your eyes begin to adjust a high, thready voice calls to you from across the gloom. More Manlings come to take that which is ours.

A face emerges from the gloom, long nose and whiskers twitching.

Let us show them that is dangerous to steal from us. Destroy them my children.

Kiray attacks the Rat King from the front. "May as well just take them out down the line."

"Let me go first, I may kill that thing in a single blow," says Miderun, as she levers a fierce two-handed swing at the Rat King from the front row.

Asphalt, positive effects are things like Encouraged, Hastened, and Lucky, all of the 'effects' listed in our stats that aren't immunities should still be there, they're just for convenience.

Also, I notice I forgot to take the 3 out of my calculated power.
