June 25, 201212 yr "Erik, keep ahold of that Fire Bomb, will you?" "'The brew that restores me?' Do you think it's refering to a Phoenix Essence...or a potion? You guys have plenty of potions, so one of you could try offering one up." I shrug. Edited June 25, 201212 yr by Palathadric
June 25, 201212 yr Author QM Note: The Arcane Unit will not destroy any offerings unless it's correct, in which case you'll get "glory". This one won't, at any rate.
June 25, 201212 yr Author Erik places his remedy on the Acane Unit. it's humming sound goes down a few octaves, as if dissapointed. The remedy did not work. QM Note: Fire bomb and correct essence distribution: Monk Pretzel, Level 7 Cleric. 463-year-old male "hermit".

June 25, 201212 yr "Maybe your Phoenix essence would work, Sir?" Erik removes the Remedy from the Apparatus.
June 25, 201212 yr I try with a potion first. "I'm not sure if I'm ready to sacrifice the Phoenix Essence just yet," I reply. "It is of extreme worth. If this potion doesn't work, perhaps we can go fight the other battles and come back if we still have it."
June 25, 201212 yr Author I try with a potion first. "I'm not sure if I'm ready to sacrifice the Phoenix Essence just yet," I reply. "It is of extreme worth. If this potion doesn't work, perhaps we can go fight the other battles and come back if we still have it." Monk Pretzel places his potion on the Arcane Unit, warranting the same response. the potion is incorrect as well. QM Note: I'm not telling you the Pheonix Essence is the answer, but I'm telling you right now what's in the AU is worth more then one.
June 25, 201212 yr "I wonder if this unit may be able to refine the essences. Pretzel, try the Phoenix Essence." OOC Note: Endgame would have no way of knowing what players would sign up for this Quest, and Phoenix Essence is a very special item. I think that a Potion is the intended brew, as most - if not all - players carry them. Edit: Nevermind. Edited June 25, 201212 yr by LEGOman273

The answer was origanlly meant to be a soma.
June 25, 201212 yr Cautiously, I try my Phoenix Essence. I cross myself as I do so. "I had the same thought as you, Daxus, but let us see."
June 25, 201212 yr Author Gingerly Monk pretzel places his prized Pheonix Essence on the cryptic black box. The humming sound gets louder and louder as the Pheonix essence glows... and turns blue! Suddenly, in a burst of blue flame, the Pheonix Essence explodes, just barely missing the party. The embers are absorbed into the Unit, and a new glowing inscription is seen. Because of your generosity, from the filed of battle I can rise. Reach inside to claim your prize. With great caution the monk reaches into the mysterious container, it's once obsidian-hard surface parting like water. Monk Pretzel pulls out... Scroll Of Sealing: Enables casting the sealed-effect to the target, making it unable to use a special skill for the next three rounds. Each casting has a 50/50 chance of success and costs 1 ether. Usable only by mages and clerics. Loot Distribtuion (Automatically given to Monk pretzel, since hes the only one who can use it): Monk Pretzel, Level 7 Cleric. 463-year-old male "hermit".

June 25, 201212 yr "Well, I guess I lose something and I gain something, eh?" My eyes can't read the writing in the dim light, so I put the scroll in my rolling chest for later. I climb up the stairs and see if there is anything else of note in the room.
June 25, 201212 yr "I'd like to see what that thing behind the barrel is, and if there is anything in the pool of water." Erik has a closer look at the thing behind the barrel. Edited June 25, 201212 yr by Myrddyn
June 25, 201212 yr "I'd like to see what that thing behind the barrel is, and if there is anything in the pool of water." Erik has a closer look at the thing behind the barrel. "It is just some poor art work."
June 25, 201212 yr Author "Just a second. I'd like to see what that thing behind the barrel is, and if there is anything in the pool of water." The "thing" behind the barrel was an abstract portrait. Erik and Pretzel climb up the stairs to the podium, where they look down itno the water below. Bits and peices of eggs float in the steaming water, a testament to the battle that occured here. Will the party head back to the foyer?
June 25, 201212 yr "Yeah, might as well go back to the foyer." Oh. I missed a line, and thought that picture was the Arcane Unit. Everything makes much more sense now.
June 25, 201212 yr "Yes, let's go. Can any of you make sense now of the writing on the trunk outside? I still can't figure it out. If you are not able to find out the clue than let's go through the other door to the left. We can use my key. It should work. Endgame, you forgot to take my Phoenix Essence out of my stats.

If you are not able to find out the clue than let's go through the other door to the left. We can use my key. It should work. Endgame, you forgot to take my Phoenix Essence out of my stats. QM Note: fixed. I'm saying that a bit too much for my taste. This is only the start of the quest though, so i'll have plenty of time to whip myself into shape. The party steps out of the hatchery, their coin purses a bit heavier then when they went in. Morxes, the red spider, was waiting for them outside of the door. Lyrol was toying with the magically sealed treasure chest. "Hey. We're still a bit mad about the whole "Widow" thing, but you disposed of a fair amount of Proggs - we can't fault you at this point, heh." Lyrol scurries over, looking like he has some big news to lay on the party. "I've been trying to get that ches topen to see if there is anything shiny in it. From what I understand, you have to draw something in the vault that is green. I tried a self-portrait, but no dice." What will the party do now?
June 25, 201212 yr "Progg Larva are red, Pupa and Adults are blue. Perhaps the Death Progg is green?" *I address the Spiders* "What do you know of the Death Progg?" *If the Death Progg is not green, I try to smash the chest with my sword.*
June 26, 201212 yr Author "Progg Larva are red, Pupa and Adults are blue. Perhaps the Death Progg is green?" *I address the Spiders* "What do you know of the Death Progg?" *If the Death Progg is not green, I try to smash the chest with my sword.* "We know what you heard from the Pupa in there, plus one other juicy tidbit: Apparently, Proggs that manage to live for 1,000 years go through some sort of metamorphosis. They burrow underground, their shell melts off, and they just keep expanding in some sort of rock coccoon. Eventually it's old shell fuses with the coccoon, merges back with the body, and it pops back up, 10 times the size of a normal Progg. Good luck killing him. We dunno the color, though. Daxus takes a swing at the chest, only for a magic aura to repel the sword. "Brute force isn't going to work. Trust me, I tried."
June 26, 201212 yr "Sounds fun." *We walk through the door that Pretzel suggested. If it is locked, Pretzel uses his key."
June 26, 201212 yr Author QM Note: Sorry folks, I've had to switch to a computer that doesn't have the quest pics on it tonight. I'll still be online if you want to ask the spiders anything else, but you won't get to see whats behind Door Number 3 until tommorow morning.
