Heroica RPG General Discussion

I have a question for Sandy. When wearing those Sticky Gloves, do I get +50% income from all Steal-based attacks, or does the effect only apply to my Shield, i.e. Ravage?

**Pandora** · August 15, 2012

Perhaps I have a different setting somewhere, all I get is the first page of the topic...

On the search results page, each 'snippet' has a curly arrow in the top left corner, just like in the top left corner of your quote above. If you click on that arrow it will take you directly to that particular post.

Of course it applies to all stealing skills. In your case, you'll get 50% more gold from both "Ravage" and "Steal". I'm not aware that there would be any other means of stealing...

Its just that in the description, it says that it adds 50% for all mugs... so apparently mugs = stealing

OK, looks like it might be a little longer than I thought before I can get internet again, so again, my earlier "plans" stand, with the added note that once the battle is over, Arthur will exchange his Scroll of Confusion with De'kra's Scroll. :wink: I'll find and quote that post for easy reference.

OK, I hate to do this, but my Internet access will be really spotty starting Monday and continuing for about a week, so I need to make some preparations in advance just in case I'm not able to get online.

First, should the need arise, Zepher may determine Arthur's role-playing actions, particularly if Wren is involved. As far as battle actions go, Arthur will follow the other Heroes' advice in this order: Atramor, then Cronk, then Skrall.

Second: If the Dastan Quest ends, please consider Arthur to be signed up for Quest 38.

Third: If the Dastan Quest ends, Arthur will immediately settle as many of his debts as possible. This means: The_Customizer, Erdathcath may take 75 Gold from Arthur, if you are still willing to sell him your Scroll of Weakening. Bricksandparts, Alf is authorized to claim 124 gold, as previously agreed, for the purchase of the Healing Staff and for the purchase of the Scroll of Luck.

Fourth: If Arthur wins a Scroll from the lottery that he already has (this includes the Scroll of Weakening if Erdathcath says she's still willing to sell it), he will attempt to negotiate a trade for a Scroll of Frailty. If he wins anything else, he will hold on to it.

Fifth: If Arthur has any leftover money, he will attempt to purchase a Robe of Archmagi, or, if he does not have enough money for this, a pair of Spellbound Gloves. He will make no other purchases.

Lastly: To the Party Leaders of the Dastan Quests (Skrall, Thothwick, Sarick): Arthur will seek the Topaz from Lord Blackenord, as well as as much Gold as he can convince you to let him have. He will not seek the Zoot's Plaything, though he will ask to touch it for just a moment, to give it to whoever ultimately recieves it.

I hate to have to put this in such a cold, mechanical manner, but I want to be prepared in case Idaho has no wi-fi.

Umm, the description of the item in the Marketplace is different...

"Sticky Gloves – Increases the amount of gold stolen by 50% (rounded up), suitable for rogues."

Thats not what it says in the description that Khorne gave me... :hmpf_bad: Sorry, my mistake!

**Zepher** · August 15, 2012

Well, that only took two hours.

Quest 39ers, love you for being patient. Though Scuba has it worse, since JimBee and Bd know why I'm nearly never posting in that thread. :laugh: All in all, I think the quest will probably still conclude in under a month. I'll update later today, I'm sorry, but I'm a little bit... brain dead right now. :wub: Sorry!

Rumble Strike · August 15, 2012

I love the thought you have put in to the items, Dastan QMs, but does anyone else think that the Sword of Ancestral Hatred is overpowered?

Capt.JohnPaul · August 15, 2012

No. It's each kill, not each hit. You have to be the one to make the finishing blow.

Rumble Strike · August 15, 2012

OK, so that's why it not available to Barbarians then :wink:

Capt.JohnPaul · August 15, 2012

It's available to rogues right? So what if one becomes an assassin, with the instant kill feature? :oh:

CMP · August 15, 2012

Sword of Ancestral Hatred + Cloak of the Red Assassin = WP: 99 :laugh:

Endgame · August 15, 2012

And thus ends the Dastan trilogy... I think? :look:

Poor Skrall is probbaly making a spreadsheet to divvy the loot correctly. :tongue:

Rumble Strike · August 15, 2012

Also would be very handy for a Raider! In fact, I'd Make Tarn be one if he was given it :cry_happy:

Ah, looks like Xander is going to be a Raider. Great choice!

I have to say it is interesting how many people spell De'kra's name wrong. It's spelt with a lower case k, not upper case. Not a big deal though.

Capt.JohnPaul · August 15, 2012

Wow. You guys were so close! Fantome lost over half his health, you got rid of one of his guards. Great job. Too bad your luck turned sour in the end.

We came a lot closer then I thought we would. :blush: I'm still unsure whether the battle was completely balanced, but hey, atleast we didn't go down in history as the first party to fail due to TKO. :tongue:

it was a great quest while it lasted. :sweet:

Well at least it is not cliche, heroes save the princess, blah blah blah. Heroes surrender to badguy, villian chops princess's head off. :grin: :rofl:

TheBoyWonder · August 15, 2012

Do we get a reward if we chop her head off ourselves?

Capt.JohnPaul · August 15, 2012

" :distressed: :def_shrug: ..."

No, that's just morbid... :look:

Endgame · August 15, 2012

Can I throw my ice bomb into the pile of ether cores, detonating a frost nuke? :grin:

That brings a whole new meaning to "nuclear winter."

You instantly KO the party, unless Benji rolled aura, but then you kill the princess, failing the quest anyways, and blowing up an entire town.... no. :laugh:

I'd just ride the explosion back to eubric like a boss!
