Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Brickdoctor]

I meant that I'm pretty sure you can only imbue artifacts with scrolls that deal negative effects. (Though I might be wrong). Even if so, wouldn't you only be protected from your SP being reduced by 5? What if it was a special that reduced it by 6?

It is a negative effect - an effect that decreases SP. Not sure about the amount, though. Sandy?

Oh well, if this doesn't work out, I can always resell the scroll to Flipz.

[Jebediahs]

Jeb, how long do you estimate is left until Quest 35 is done? (if you're okay with revealing that) I'm trying to decide if I should continue trying to get into the Unlimited Quest or just wait a little longer for swils to get back.

I don't know. Still waiting for swils' or PL's or 2nd PL's choice of Thorm's action. You'll probably be exiting the Unlimited Quest to pursue a new quest before quest 35 is done.

Okay, thanks.

[Zepher]

I want to see what Alexis does before my NPCs chime in again!

[Palathadric]

Quest #42 ahould be called "Insanity Slayers."

Very much enjoy the queer folk we've encountered thus far, Flare.

Not to mention the queer things we have discovered in the ground, and how our tools have worked.

[swils]

Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men...

I am determined to win this fight, Jeb. You sha'nt deny me my victory!

Edit:

Also, my apologies to the rest of the Q35 crew. I feel like I've turned this into swils vs Archivist rather than Party vs Archivist, and feel even worse about it now that I realize my plan was based on a misunderstanding. I miss Arasmyth's back and forth with the Archivist!

Sandy, do you think we could go ahead and start the unlimited quest? Our party is formed and there doesn't seem to be anymore sign-ups.

Hey, if Ranger throws his Holy Bomb, then Echo will be toast and Thormanil can target something else.

Hey, go play your own quest!

Scurries off to adjust the actions.

Forgot about the big hit. Ranger won't be throwing any bombs this turn, heh.

Don't give up swils! We're all rooting for you! This is probably one of the only battles of a quest I haven't been on/hosted that I've waited anxiously for every round for. As always, props to Jebs!

[swils]

As always, props to Jebs!

This, so very much, this.

Same here.

And not just because swils needs to come back soon with my scroll...

[CorneliusMurdock]

Yay! Cronk gets the ewok! Can I keep him?

[Zepher]

I promise, one day I will create an NPC that Cronk will be allowed to keep. All the NPCs in the Wren Quests have a story to fulfill though. Sorry Cronk.

I really will try to get Barkley to him at some point. I just need to set it up properly.

I think as my teaser for the final Wren Quest, I will release which characters are going to return for it. As soon as this quest is over.

As a quick teaser to the teaser... the final Wren quest will feature 16 returning NPCs (and four new ones).

Party NPCs???

Of course, the real reason I'm looking forward to it is seeing where the finale takes Arthur. I have a few ideas, but I doubt they'll come into play. At all.

Does the chin stroking motion which looks ridiculous as he's wearing a mask/helmet thing.

"It seems you are running out of options my dear shaman. I'll offer you this,

600 gold

in exchange for the greenskins and that mutt in your party. I'll let you, Aero-smyth, and Elgar go without further incident. I will have a guard escort you out the main gate. I'll even return your friends (mostly) unharmed within the hour. What do you say?"

Relevant comic. Doc, I'm honestly shocked you didn't come up with this already.

[CMP]

Ricky Riding the Archer *lucky (causes jinxed effect to whoever targets him)*

Level 28 Humanoid

Health: 801/801

Special: Absolutely Stunning - The target loses 7 health and is stunned.

Drops: Satchel of Awesomeness (permanent lucky effect), 42 gold

Note: Ricky Riding fights from the back row, so all non-ranged attacks will do half damage to him, while his attacks do full damage to heroes in back row.

Oh jeez.

Oh jeez.

A QM's worst nightmare.

A QM's worst nightmare.

Well, if Erdathcath manages to get her hands on it, then she needs to be on the Fields of Glory team. Permanently Lucky Druid...if there's any true way to cheat death in Heroica, that's it.

[Sandy]

It is a negative effect - an effect that decreases SP. Not sure about the amount, though. Sandy?

To my understanding, armor sundering is not an effect, it's simply a decrease of SP. But to make it fair, I'd say that merging the scroll into an artefact gives the hero immunity against SP decreases (I'm going to regret saying this, though).

Sandy, do you think we could go ahead and start the unlimited quest? Our party is formed and there doesn't seem to be anymore sign-ups.

The sign-ups end today, so I'll send you on your way now.

I'm going to end up staying up late today, aren't I?

I may have spoken too soon.

Question: do we think there will ever be a way to wear/use additional artifacts? Aka, Sandy, will there ever be a way to fanagle that rule, or are we all permanently stuck with just two artifacts? I think hopping up to three at some point in the leveling up process would be nice, especially as the artifacts keep multiplying (and I keep wanting more and more ).

Choices man. At some point in your life you will have to learn you can't have everything you would want.

I think someone (John Paul?) dropped an artifact that gave you an extra artifact slot. (or gave you two, but it took up one; final effect being that you had three slots) I remember there was discussion of whether it would be allowed to remain in the game; I don't remember what happened to it.
