quote: In Maze of the Mana Dragon, the listed fastest directions for the Water wing are not the fastest. It should be Water wing fastest directions: Top Right, Top Right, Up, Top Left, Top Left (Switch), Bottom Right, Bottom Right, Top Right, Right, Up (Ice Dragon Champion) This gets you through with one less trap. (you go through an extra already cleared room) edit: I just saw the "unlucky 13% chance of re-encountering a monster", maybe going through an extra trap room IS better. edit edit: But then it wouldn't be consistent with the Stone wing, which looks like it skips a trap room to clear a room early. See response below. ~whacky

Water wing fastest directions (entry): Up, Up, Up, Top Right, Top Left (Switch), Bottom Right, Right, Right, Right, Up (Ice Dragon Champion) Total: 10 steps Water wing fastest directions (suggested): Top Right, Top Right, Up, Top Left, Top Left (Switch), Bottom Right, Bottom Right, Top Right, Right, Up (Ice Dragon Champion) Total: 10 steps The two paths have the same number of steps, so they're pretty much the same. The number of battles in this case (entry) wasn't really counted. I can understand where you're coming from; reducing the chances of a re-encounter when making your way toward the boss after activating the switch. I've gone to take a look at the remaining two suggested paths for Earth/Fire and noticed that they are actually optimal paths, i.e. the chances of a re-encounter/battle is reduced due to the player re-traversing where s/he has traveled before. As such, I'll use your suggestion for its optimal path. Because of this, I've also changed it from "fastest directions" to "most optimal path" for clarity.

quote: In the actual entry for Sky Bridge, it correctly says that if you fail the first stat roll, you have to do 4 battles. But then it says "2 battles, see monster list, full heal" instead of 4. http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=15249307 In the info sub version, it incorrectly says that you only fight 2 battles if you fail the first stat roll and also has the same typo as the real entry. Might want to fix the info sub version too, for players who stumble across it instead of the real entry, like me. [:)] http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=21761202 The info subs entry is usually not re-corrected after the actual entry has been posted, as that would mean many other entries would go through the same thing as well, which adds unnecessary workload (imagine correcting all the issues in past quest info subs gulp). I have however, corrected the error you mentioned in the official quest entry. Thanks! Upon re-reading the issue you mentioned, there is actually no error. If you fail the roll, you go through 4 battles, followed by a re-roll. If you succeed the roll, you continue with 2 BATTLES (as indicated below). I will edit the text to clarify this. ~whacky

Edit: I missed a few dates in between. Oops! I'll add those by the next week. quote: Gnuvain's Keep or... Shapeshifter's Anonymous! Location: Travel Map » Sail East » Shapeshifter Training «Notes» Dates mentioned below are based on initial release dates of the respective missions. All quests are rotated so that you will encounter a different one daily in order of their release sequence. If you paid Z-Tokens for any class and log out before finishing the class, you must pay Z-Tokens to enroll in that class again. As mentioned by Gnuvain below, if you paid Z-Tokens for any class but flee or die in the process, you can return to him and repeat the same class (at no cost), or choose a normal class (losing your Z-Token payment). The sequence is as follows: Water » Wind » Ice » Earth » Energy » Light » Darkness » Fire » Repeat from Water «Scene: Gnuvain's Keep» «You»: Hello there! Your place looks like a mess. Gnuvain: Why, thank you for the kind greeting. Welcome to my humble abode.... «You»: Sorry for being so direct. Gnuvain: Are you going to tell me how stupid my hair looks now? «You»: Is that a rhetorical question? Gnuvain: So, what'd you come here for? Shapeshifter Training! «07 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Water creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Pheron - an elemental made of the purest water! «You»: That doesn't sound too tough. Gnuvain: If you want something tougher, then my second lesson for high-level Guardians is on the Sea Squirt - a demon with a powerful spiritual shield! «08 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Wind creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Gnat - the most annoying. Insect. Ever! «You»: By the gods, not one of those! Don't you have something less annoying? Gnuvain: Well, there's always my second lesson for high-level Guardians. Today we're looking at Cyclone Wyverns - dragonkin whose strength really blows you away! «09 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Ice creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Two-Bear - a ferocious arctic animal whose bite is worse than its... uh... growl? Okay, never mind. «You»: ... Okay, next time try something like "In this case, two heads are worse than one FOR YOU!" Gnuvain: Look, if you don't like my fails, then maybe you should try my second lesson for high-level Guardians? It's on Goggs - horrible creatures with lightning-fast reflexes. «10 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Earth creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Frogzard - a "wily li'l beaut", as the Frogzard Hunter would put it. «You»: Oh, I've wrangled a few of those before. They're not too tough. Gnuvain: If that's not tough enough, then my second lesson for high-level Guardians is on the Stone Golem - a massive monolith of animated rock! «11 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Energy creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Trobble - a shockingly adorable ball of fur and cute! «You»: But they're too cute! What, you expect me to d'aww my enemies to death in that form? Gnuvain: You could always go for my second lesson for high-level Guardians. Today I'm teaching about Baby Sacragons - cute and ugly creatures with mental powers. «12 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Light creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Raydius Dragon - a lesser dragon that's still a fierce fight! «You»: A "lesser dragon"? Doesn't sound that impressive. Gnuvain: If you want more of a challenge, then my second lesson for high-level Guardians is on Lightbringers - servants of the Light Lord herself! «13 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Darkness creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the Banshee - a dead soul that's very vocal about its dislike for the living. «You»: Pfft, I'll just bring earplugs, no problem. Gnuvain: Earplugs won't help, but if you want more of a challenge, the high-level Guardian lesson is on Brain Spiders - undead insects that like brains more than zombies! «14 February 2015» Gnuvain: Today we'll be studying Fire creatures! Gnuvain: Our normal class is on the wily and fiery Firezard - a dangerous lizard with a red-hot breath weapon! «You»: Oh, I've wrangled a few of those before. They're not too tough. Gnuvain: If that's not tough enough, then my second lesson for high-level Guardians is on the Pzycho Fiend - powerful Fire demons from Heck! Gnuvain: I'll point you to an area where you can find the creatures, but be careful of the other wildlife there. Gnuvain: So, what's it gonna be? «At this point, you're given three options as follows:» «Regular Pool Monster» «Guardian Pool Monster» «By selecting one of these two options, you proceed to the following battles.» 7 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2, #4, #6 1 BATTLE: «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster» Fire: Firezard / Pzycho Fiend Water: Pheron / Sea Squirt Wind: Gnat / Cyclone Wyvern Ice: Two-Bear / Gogg Earth: Frogzard / Stone Golem Energy: Trobble / Baby Sacragon Light: Raydius Dragon / Lightbringer Darkness: Banshee / Brain Spider Full Heal Gnuvain: You're back! Did you find the creature you were looking for? «You»: Yup! Gnuvain: Great! Class starts now! «The Shapeshift shop of the monster you chose to hunt opens. Once you leave the shop:» Play again! Guardian Tower! Leave Can I go after something else? Gnuvain: Well, if you give me some Z-Tokens, I might be willing to go off-schedule and give you some private lessons... Gnuvain: You'll have your choice of elements to go after for only 250 Z-Tokens. How about it? Okay, let me pick! (Costs 250 Z-Tokens) - If you do not have enough tokens: "Not enough Tokens!" Gnuvain: Alright then, which element? Notes: You will immediately start questing for the monster. If you die/flee, then you can return here to start the quest again. No refunds! Fire Water Wind Ice Earth Energy Light Darkness «If you select the same element as the one being taught for the day, you get the message 'That's already today's challenge! Pick another.'. Otherwise, you get the following dialogue:» Gnuvain: I'll teach you how to change into a «Regular Pool Monster» or, if you're a high-level Guardian, you can choose a «Guardian Pool Monster». Either way, it's 250 Z-Tokens. «Regular Pool Monster» «Guardian Pool Monster» - If you are below level 105 or not a Guardian: "This class is only available for high-level Guardians!" Actually, never mind. «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster» Fire: Firezard / Pzycho Fiend Water: Pheron / Sea Squirt Wind: Gnat / Cyclone Wyvern Ice: Two-Bear / Gogg Earth: Frogzard / Stone Golem Energy: Trobble / Baby Sacragon Light: Raydius Dragon / Lightbringer Darkness: Banshee / Brain Spider «Upon selecting a class, the message "Successfully spent 250 Z-Tokens" appears along with the following dialogue:» Gnuvain: Payment received! Go out there and bring me back that «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster», and we'll begin! Hunt! - Same battles as above «If you fled/died during the hunt and return to the quest after that...» Gnuvain: You're back! Did you find me a «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster»? «You»: No, there were a few... problems. Gnuvain: Dang. Do you want to try finding a «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster» again, or do you want to just attend my normal lessons? Remember, no refunds. Find a «Regular / Guardian Pool Monster» Normal Lessons Back to Town «If you cleared all battles and found the monster you chose to hunt:» Gnuvain: You're back! Did you find the creature you were looking for? «You»: Yup! Gnuvain: Great! Class starts now! «The Shapeshift shop of the monster you chose to hunt opens. Once you leave the shop:» Play again! Guardian Tower! Leave Actually, never mind... Uh, never mind.... How does this work? Gnuvain: I suppose you have come to see me to learn about shapeshifting. That IS what I am known for, anyway. «You»: Do you still randomly find adventurers and offer to turn them into different forms? Gnuvain: I do. But that is just me showing off. I won't teach you how to change OTHER people. Just how to change yourself. «You»: Why the big mess in here?? Gnuvain: I regularly bring many different creatures-- you might call them "monsters"-- here to study. To be a convincing shapeshifter one must know biology very, VERY well. Gnuvain: Mistakes in shapeshifting can lead to some embarrassing moments. Or some terrible blunders. Gnuvain: I mys-- um-- I know a shapeshifter who is responsible for the creation of no less than a dozen new species. «You»: So how do I get started? Gnuvain: Well, I hold classes daily - one creature a day. Plus, the Guardian Tower is paying me to hold a second daily class for their more powerful Guardians. Gnuvain: If you don't like the lessons I'm teaching today, then you can come back tomorrow and I'll have different ones available. Gnuvain: For each class, we'll be studying one specific creature. You'll need to go out and bring me one of those creatures. Simple enough? «You»: And then you'll teach me how to shapeshift into it? Gnuvain: Bingo.

Eukara: As promised, we will go back in time in our studies, back to when Lore learned about the leylines that run through the world and began to harness them. Eukara: As promised, we will look at the history of magic in our world. Class: Yay! Timmy: I've been looking forward to this all year! Noah: You know what I've been looking forward to? Knowing who Jimmy has a crush on! Jimmy: Stop it, Noah! I don't have a crush! Eukara: Class, enough! Stop teasing Jimmy, Noah. This is not a topic for discussion. «You enter the classroom.» Eukara: Well... good day, «You». We were just going to talk about leylines and magic history. Care to sit in? «You»: Well, as much as it sounds like fun, I am here because you wanted to see me about the Weapon you are making to stop Xov. Eukara: Right. Class, you may have fifteen minutes of recess time while I talk to «You». Class: Yay!! «The students swiftly exit the classroom and proceed to the playground behind.» «You»: So, you've found the next piece? Eukara: Yes, though it's going to be tricky. You will have to travel- Jimmy: STOP IT! Noah: Who's your crush, Jimmy? Who's your crush! Jimmy: You heard Ms. Vox. She said to stop. Noah: Won't stop until you tell. I bet it is Sasha! Jimmy: It's nobody! Leave me alone. «You»: Perhaps we can talk outside so that Jimmy isn't fending for himself? Eukara: Very well.

Go inside and begin scrubbing the bathroom in the school. «Noah turns to face Eukara.» Noah: But! I was just- Eukara: I don't care what you thought you were doing. What you are doing NOW is beginning to pay for your choice of behavior. Bathroom. NOW. Noah: Yes, Ms. Vox. «The scene fades to black. Somewhere in Battleon...» Filzan: Gorgetta, my previous, I have missed you! Gorgetta: Blushes You brought me flowers. How sweet! «Filzan raises his bouquet of flowers. The Vile Love suddenly hops in, and his eyes turn heart shape while staring at Filzan. Hearts flutter over Filzan before swiftly breaking in half.» Filzan: Flowers? Haha! I have something much more appropriate to show how I feel about you! «The bouquet of flowers transform into a bouquet of snakes!» Gorgetta: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! «Gorgetta flees from the scene.

You aren't getting away this time! 1 BATTLE: Vile Love Full Heal «With the menace defeated, you return to the Battleon School.» «You»: That was ridiculous. Who knew tweenies could create such terrible monsters. Eukara: You obviously haven't spent much time around the Tween Gangs... have you? «You»: I don't want to know, that is for sure. Is Jimmy okay? Eukara: Nothing a few days won't cure. That's the thing with Tweens. It only takes a couple of days for drama to blow over. Much like a squirrel that has found a new nut... «You»: You are nuts.

At any rate, this is pretty trivial: Warlic's shop now says "Buy Magic Equipment" rather than "Spells"; this then leads to "Beginner Equipment" & "Expert Equipment" (again equipment instead of spells).

Lallace: Please, Molu, you've got to help me rescue my town! «You»: It's a sad story, but how do I know this isn't a tri... «In the distance, you can hear Leprechauns and their -tromp-s.» Robina Hood: What the heck, it sounds like over a million Leprechauns are out there! «Sham and his Leprechaun army enters on a hill overlooking Battleon.» Uncle Sham: Ahem...

Leprechaun: Aye, uncle. Time to brew up more fortuions? Uncle Sham: Harvest th' remainder of th' shamrock for the next batch of fortuions. And make it snappy! Delivery's already been delayed due to that incident with Jotter. «Sham leaves the scene and returns to his hut in the background. Erebus enters the scene and bumps into the Leprechaun.» Leprechaun: Oi matey! Be watchin' where ya go, before I knock ya upside the head wi' me shillelagh! Erebus: Sham? Where is Sham? Must warn... someone has reversed the polarity of the neutron flow. «Sham's hut suddenly catches fire, taking the Leprechaun that was speaking to Erebus by surprise. The rainbows in the background fade away, revealing a desert. MuttonCutlet and Carpendter enter the scene.» MuttonCutlet: The effect has been achieved! Our creator has been captured. Inform Lord ENTROPY. Erebus: Apia will not be pleased with your double-dealing, MuttonCutlet. MuttonCutlet: Tch. Apia arranged this agreement with ENTROPY, you fool. ???: That is not quite correct. It would not do to give false impressions. «As the blaze on Sham's hut blows off, Sham exits the roasted hut.» Uncle Sham: What in the blazes just occurred?! Why are me shamrocks producing misfortuions instead of fortuions? There is no lemon clover in the batch -- I checked three times! ???: That would be me, I'm afraid. I used a bit of Erebus' research against him to reverse the attunement of his magic momentarily. ???: The resulting reversal of your own activities was an unfortunate side effect. Well, for you, anyway. Uncle Sham: Whaddya mean?! ???: Only that the Leprechauns that seem to be perpetually working against you would no doubt find your ill fortune a good omen indeed. ???: And also that the effect was exactly what I intended. The shade's obsession had predictable and manipulable results. ???: And misfortune and chaos are my bread and butter. Uncle Sham: Being as you foreseen this calamity, I hope ye be plannin' on payin' for this mess! ???: Tch. You and yours are merely the first round of collateral damage, you insignificant Leprechaun. Uncle Sham: I'm gonna find «You»! ???: Yes... who will no doubt forget all about your recent activities and rush right to your aid. Uncle Sham: This must not stand! Someone must pay! «A rainbow appears beneath Sham's feet. Sham crosses the rainbow to find you and the rainbow disappears.» ???: Oh... someone will most certainly pay. Someone will pay indeed! For I am ENTROPY and I am rising! ENTROPY: MuttonCutlet, transport our prisoner back to the Hall of Memories. The time has come to gain the upper hand in my quest to regain what has been taken. MuttonCutlet: Yes, Lord ENTROPY! «The scene tunnels towards MuttonCutlet before switching over to Battleon, where Sham is describing his encounter to you.» Uncle Sham: ...and the resultin' explosion of misfortuions rendered three hectares an unbloomin' desert! «You»: So you decided, "why not distract «You» from his current efforts?" Uncle Sham: Eh.... «You»: "Hope he forgets entirely about what's going on here and run off and do something else!" Uncle Sham: Well-- that is-- er-- «You»: Sigh Just what do you expect me to do about it, Sham? Uncle Sham: Need I remind you what happened the last time the luck of the Leprechaun Nation was thrown off-kilter?! Uncle Sham: Not to mention that this ENTROPY clearly has bad plans afoot! «You»: That came from Warlic's shop. What next? Yulgar: Ouch! The bloody anvil just fell over onto my foot! Aria: How could every single pen latch fail all at once?! Uncle Sham: Did I mention th' explosion of misfortuions? «You»: Groan Fine! Fine, Sham, take me back to the scene of the crime.

More're comin'. 4 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 «Over in the Hall of Memories...» Erebus: You have what you want. Just what do you intend to do with it? ENTROPY: At the moment? To kick a hornets' nest and see what happens. I DO wish for it to be known that I have arrived, after all. Erebus: They could hardly miss you. You may have tricked me, but you will never get away with this travesty. I repay ALL who cross me. ENTROPY: I will take that risk, shade. I have little fear of you. After all, you fell rather nicely into my hands. Erebus: This... ENTROPY: And as for you... ENTROPY: Oh, but you HAVE gotten just what you deserved, Erebus. Reap what you have sown. Erebus: This is unacceptable! You will be stopped, mark me well. ENTROPY: Am I to fear you? I know your entire playbook, Erebus. ENTROPY: Your time is passed, old man. Flee now to your twittering doves; perhaps they will grant you sympathy. ENTROPY: From me you will get none. Erebus: ... ENTROPY: The shade is silenced? It warms my heart. You, manipulator, have been out-manipulated! ENTROPY is rising; shade best prepare. ENTROPY: Oh... and before you become too inspired and plan on selling me out-- ENTROPY: Do remember just how much of your plans I am privy to. And just how much I am willing to disrupt them. «Erebus stays silent.» ENTROPY: Perhaps I might just go a little further in my manipulations. Why, I might even call in the attention of that mother of yours.... Erebus: You would not dare! She would consume you utterly, you fool. ENTROPY: Wouldn't I dare, Erebus? You seem to have gotten a distorted notion of just how certain of myself I am-- ENTROPY: --and just how willing to see it all turn to dust I might be. «Erebus fades away from the scene. MuttonCutlet enters.» MuttonCutlet: Aww, does our creator have mommy issues? ENTROPY: They nearly always do. Have you dispatched the mercenaries to deliver my message? MuttonCutlet: Yes, and Lady Apia has moved ahead. All is how you ordered. ENTROPY: Well then... let's set out the welcome wagon. «The scene fades to black. Back in Battleon, you find Yulgar on his knees.» «You»: Yulgar?! What happened? Yulgar: A bunch of mercenary thugs came in looking for you. I wouldn't tattle, so they decided to kick me around a bit. Yulgar: Don't worry «You», I gave 'em as good as I got. Well, at least 'til that one smacked me with the broadside of his battleaxe from behind. «You»: With his broadside? They didn't want to kill you then.... What did they want? «Yulgar pulls out a note.» Yulgar: To deliver this. Take the note! «The note reads:» Greetings chosen one, Have you seen the armies rising all over the world? Have you heard the whispers in the wind? Can you feel the changes that are coming? It has been long since we last entangled with one another. Know this. Those who have done me wrong shall be made to make an accounting for the harm that they have done. Your advice to me on the matter has been invaluable and I shall always treasure our moments together. For it is they that have made me the being that I am today. ENTROPY IS RISING. «You»: My advice? Just who is this clown? «You»: Time to call in the big research, given that this involves Erebus. «You leave the scene to seek help. Uncle Sham enters the scene.» Uncle Sham: Blacksmith! Where is «You»?! That fool ENTROPY somehow has necromancy an' an army is comin'! «Undead Leprechauns appear behind Sham! Sham turns around only to find himself surrounded by them...» Yulgar: A bit late I think.... «Over in Falerin's library...» «You»: What do you mean, you have to leave again?! Who is this guy? He clearly knows me and claims we have met before. Falerin: I have duties to two different hierarchies now, «You». Falerin: As to the question, I have no idea who or what this "ENTROPY" is. Falerin: But all signs I have seen point to very, very big trouble. He has bested Webb at manipulation. «You»: What?! Who or what could possibly do that? Erebus beat and killed YOU! Falerin: Someone very adept at playing games.... «GraceFang enters the scene and transforms into Cenara. It appears she brought Scion with her.» Cenara: «You», there you are! We've been searching for you everywhere! «You»: Why? What's going on? Scion: Something is happening. Something big. Scion: Undead have been spotted well outside of Darkovia, moving from the Leprechaun Nation toward Battleon in large numbers. Cenara: What's more, many of the undead are themselves Leprechauns! Which is really strange - their luck generally prevents them from being forced into service as involuntary undead. Falerin: So, that is what he took from the shade. «You»: ? Falerin: Knowledge of how to practice necromancy under the new constraints. «You»: Yeah, clearly... but what's he intend to do with it? Scion: I don't particularly recommend we wait to let him find out. By now Battleon is already overrun. «The scene fades to black as you return to Battleon's aid.» Take Scion as a guest Go Alone «Regardless of choice:» 4 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 Scion: Whoever this ENTROPY is, I call h4x. «You»: Eitch-for-ecks?? Scion: No idea. It's something I heard the young Falerin say. «You»: Eh.... ahem What the heck sort of undead are those? 2 BATTLES: Necrochaun Full Heal after battle #2 «MuttonCutlet, Bucknoose and Carpendter enter the scene.» «You»: MuttonCutlet, Bucknoose, and Carpendter. Why am I not at all surprised? You're behind this! Scion: Gotten bored with form armors and playing with undead now? How droll. MuttonCutlet: «You», Scion of the Nachtfee. We owe you a beating, as I remember. Carpendter: I'm not so sure I have the sole for this, but I guess we really should filet you. Bucknoose: That joke was as offal as all of the entrails these defenestrated undead are dragging everywhere.

Hans has his left arm wrapped in a bandage while speaking to you.» Hans: What happened was, I was thinking of getting Aria some Tiger Lillies. «You»: Oooooffff. THAT explains it. Hans: And I thought it would be easy! They're FLOWERS! Hans: I could both get her a cute pet that she'd love, AND get her some romantic flowers at the same time! I didn't expect them to come at me with claws and fangs! «From outside the inn, Zorbak yells:» Zorbak: Hey «You»! Get out here! NOW! Hans: ... Is that Zorbak? «You»: Sounds like him. Anyway, do you need some help? I could go and beat up and trap a few pansies for you. Hans: Nah, I'm good. I have a better plan: snapdragons. «You»: Like, the pretty flower kind, or the kind that breathes fire? «Unhappy that he's being ignored, Zorbak threatens you:» Zorbak: Get out here NOW before I start burning the town down! Hans: Um... just the flower. I figured the pun would be enough and... hey, shouldn't you go see what Zorbak wants? «You»: Nah, we'll be fine. I mean, he's ZORBAK. What's the worst he could do? «You»: And it's good that you're just going to pick a few flowers. Galanoth took me hunting snapdragons once and-- «A rumble shakes the inn.» Zorbak: NOW! «You»: Sigh «Outside the inn, you find Zorbak standing beside a pile of eggs.» «You»: Alright, you got my attention. Zorbak: Good! I need you to get rid of some eggs.... well a lot of eggs. Some Nerfits snuck into my hideout and laid eggs all over the place! «You»: ...Huh? Nerfits? Zorbak: Yes, horrible little rabbit-things. «You»: ...and that's it? Getting rid of eggs? Zorbak: I certainly HOPE that this is it! It took me forever to clean out the place! Zorbak: Ugh, what IS it with you idiots and garish color schemes like this? Are you TRYING to make me gouge out my eyes, and everyone else's in the process? «You»: Hey, don't look at us! Werehare eggs (and apparently Nerfit eggs too) are naturally brightly colored to-- Zorbak: Does it look like I care? «You»: No, but it looks like you're about to leave before I rethink helping you. Hint hint. Zorbak: Meh, fine, whatever. Later, loser. «Zorbak exits the scene, leaving behind the eggs.» Hans: Well that was oddly generous of him! It'll really help the Grenwog Festival this year! «You»: Heh. Yeah, I guess we finally get a break. «The scene focuses on one of the eggs in the pile Zorbak left behind. The egg hops up and legs burst through from within. The scene fades to black and you are brought to the Grenwog Festival menu. The menu contains the same content as that from Grenwog Festival 2014, with the exception of the following:» You do not lose eggs from leaving the Grenwog Festival area now. You have a chance to lose eggs if you flee from a battle. If you die in battle you lose half of your total number of eggs. You now receive eggs after each monster battle during your Egg Hunt - A message "You loot «X» eggs off the monster!" is shown when this happens. The Permanent Shops have been updated with two new items - Carrot Weapons and Nerfit Pet respectively. All Permanent Shops now also sell the Grenwog Portal Painting. In the Egg Trade! menu, a new option "Find Out Who's Behind This!" is available. This option skips dialogue below, beginning from the point where you confront Zorbak, if you have at least 20,000 eggs on hand. If you do not have that amount, you get the message "Keep searching to find out! You should find out by the time you reach 20,000 eggs!". There is also a random chance after receiving eggs (without battling) to proceed to the dialogue below. Valencia: Hey, you're back! Find many eggs? «You»: Yeah, a whole bunch! I'm gonna put them in the Guardian Tower with the others! «You proceed into the Guardian Tower, where a sizable pile of eggs are already present.» «You»: There we go, all safe from the nasty Grenwog! ???: crick crack crick «You»: Huh?! Fight! 1 BATTLE: Bad Egg «After the battle, the entire pile of eggs originally there have vanished!» «You»: What WAS that?! It was some kind of... undead... egg? «You»: Grr... ZORBAK! «Outside Yulgar's Inn...» «You»: ZORBAK! «Zorbak turns to face you.» «You»: You're the one responsible for this, aren't you!? Zorbak: Who, me? «You»: Yes, you! Those eggs you gave us were tainted and undead! Zorbak: How is it my fault you are so gullible? "Oh pwease pwease help me hewo~" Zorbak: Nerfits do exist however; they are moody and mean. That with a few of my Bad Eggs are just the thing to squash this horrendous celebration! Meeheheheheh! «A Nerfit burrows its way into the scene!» 2 BATTLES: Nerfit Full Heal 1 BATTLE: Bad Egg Full Heal «The Bad Egg's insides burst out upon its defeat, spilling its contents on Zorbak.» Zorbak: cough COUGH gag Zorbak: Eugh! What IS this stuff? It's all... Zorbak: It's in my fur! IT'S IN MY BEAUTIFUL FUR! AAAAAAAAH! It better wash out! Zorbak: AAAAAAAAH getitout getitout getitout! «Zorbak flees from the scene.» «You»: Heh. I guess the yolk's on him. Done! «You return to the Grenwog Festival menu.» Got this. ~Carandor quote: White-Washed Walls Location: Battleon » Robina's Archery Shop » Truphma Saga » 12: White-Washed Walls The last time we were in the White City, we learned that some people have managed to resist and withstand the transformation. The Changeling, who has yet to recall his name, led you around and showed you what you needed to know. You have received word that he needs to talk to you, that he has new information. You are to meet him outside the City. «Scene: Outside White City» «You»: (thinking) They are bleeding their contamination everywhere. I know the deserted areas aren't beautiful to some, but this is so much worse. «The Changeling enters the scene.» Changeling: Greetings, «You». I am glad that you received my message. I have much to tell you. «You»: This place looks terrible. I can't believe it is so complete now. I walked through a lot of this blandness before even getting here. Changeling: I know. It pains me to watch, but I think what I have to tell you will make you hopeful. «You»: Then, please, tell me something to perk me up. Changeling: Something is wrong. The Truphma ARE tightly run. NO one missteps. Everyone has their PLACE to be at all times. Changeling: But recently, there have been missteps, misunderstandings and miscommunications. «You»: Really? These problems are that obvious? Changeling: You don't live here, so you wouldn't understand. Problems just don't happen. Nothing. Is. Ever. A. Surprise. «You»: How is this affecting the rest of the city? Changeling: Many don't know what to do and just try to resume as if it didn't happen. But you can't do that here because everything is done with precision. Changeling: Continuing without a proper cue results in trouble. And then that trouble causes more disorder. «You»: Oh my. Changeling: And to top it all off, Xov Arakue has either been absent, or not herself at all. And that is causing trouble as well. «You»: As the leader, so shall be the follower. I've noticed something off too. Changeling: That's not all. «You»: This is starting to get interesting, so please, continue. Changeling: I've learned there are more like me. In the City. «You»: I thought people like you were rare and those who are caught are killed. Changeling: I can't explain it, but I found a building like... a prison of sorts. They are kept there, like animals. Changeling: But... there is something about the building that makes me sick to my stomach when I am near. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it at all. «You»: I need to learn more. Time to get bland, huh? Changeling: Yes, «You». But, I think you may not get caught this time. The distractions of whatever is going on may give you the freedom you need. «You»: So everyone is affected? Changeling: No, many are not, so you may have some resistance if recognized. I think, though, you will not find too many willing to look at you twice right now. Changeling: The closer to the city you get, the worst the effect is. You may have to fight to get there, but once inside... well, you will understand when you get there. «You»: What will you do? Changeling: Oh, me? I will be beside you. It won't be like last time. «You proceed to change into a Truphma disguise to blend in with the rest.» «You»: Then, let's go! Changeling: I hate how you look even more now. «You»: Good! Now, let's get in there! Acting! Can your disguise fool the Truphma guards? Difficulty: 71 Stat Used: Charisma «If you fail the roll, you encounter 2 BATTLES followed by a Full Heal. If you succeed, you proceed to the next roll.» More acting! Oh no, more guards? Can your disguise fool these? Difficulty: 71 Stat Used: Charisma «If you fail the roll, you encounter 2 BATTLES followed by a Full Heal. If you succeed, you proceed to the next roll.» This is well-guarded. Is your disguise still good enough to bypass more guards? Difficulty: 71 Stat Used: Charisma «If you fail the roll, you encounter 2 BATTLES followed by a Full Heal. If you succeed, you proceed into the heart of White City. Truphma are all around, instead of the usual order and compliance that is expected.» Changeling: See what I mean? «You»: Yeah... it's like they aren't as driven. Changeling: The building where the others are held is towards the east side of town. «You»: Then, let's head over there. «Over at the east side of White City, you arrive at the building where the captives are held.» «You»: That's just creepy. How long has it been like this? Changeling: Seems like a long time. «Xov can be seen entering the building.» «You»: Xov... What does she want with them? It's not like they've suffered enough. I am going to go see what is up. «You enter the building with the Changeling. Inside the building, Xov is addressing her subordinates. Changelings can be seen chained to a pillar.» Xov: Report. Truphma General: It's not what we thought, Lady Xov. Not at all. The results are all over the place. Xov: Really? You had assured me that you had this under control. Truphma General: The machines are not calibrated for this, my Lady. It's causing issues with the detectors and transformers. Xov: Then test HARDER. Truphma General: But, that could kill them. «From off-screen, you comment:» «You»: He... he questioned her? Changeling: This is how badly its fallen apart. Xov: That is not a concern. Dare you question me? Truphma General: No, Ma'am. I was just listing potential results. We will begin immediately. Xov: That is better. «Xov approaches the chained Changelings.» Xov: GET UP! «The Changelings do not comply.» Xov: I said, GET UP! «Xov yanks one of the Changelings up.» Xov: Take this one. It's ready. Truphma General: Yes, Ma'am. «One of the Truphma takes the Changeling into a room on the right, hidden away from view. A bright glow of light spills from the room, screams echoing the hallway. Everything dies down as quickly as it starts.» Truphma General: Failed. Recalibrate and ready the machine. Xov: If we can't change them, we can at least still use them for our own purposes, right? «You»: What... is going on here? I am going in! «You enter the scene. A dark figure materializes across the room.» ???: Oh no, it isn't going to be that easy, "hero". We are too close. You will not get in the way. «You»: Like heck I'm not. ???: Such fire! Too bad you are just a mortal with good intentions. Converge! 2 BATTLES Full Heal 1 BATTLE: Truphma General Full Heal «Xov and the mysterious figure are nowhere to be seen after the battle.» «You»: Cowards!!!!! Changeling: They took off while you fought. But, they left behind these who are hurting. Please, can we take them with us? «You»: Only if we can get out of here without running into trouble. Changeling: The edge of the city is not far. There is a ridge of boulders; we can use them for cover to hide the other Changelings from sight until we can move further. «You»: Let's get them there, then. Save who we can. We will be back. «You»: She's... experimenting on them. What is going on? «The scene fades to black and the White-Washed Walls shop opens. Once you exit the shop:» To be continued... Play again!

It is fortuitous we even know what I have learned. Abode: We owe Erebus a favor for that discovery, although I doubt very much he would appreciate such. Abode: Drakath has revealed to me that someone is mucking in my mechanisms. Someone unknown. Abode: They go by the name Rutan, or Entropy, but neither appears to be a true title. Abode: Erebus learned of it himself but sought to hide it, and so Drakath came to me instead. «You»: Drakath seems to be very keen on annoying Erebus. This is the second time he's revealed some plot of that annoying shadow's. «You»: How were they mucking about in your mechanisms? Why call me? Abode: Falerin is still off-world. Entropy was brazen enough to access Falerin's own memories, but the events concern most closely the memories of a Brilhado named Grimveil. Abode: You need to know this. It is critical. Abode: I am going to actually create a loop. I am opening a new door on an already open one. You will be viewing someone else previously using my mechanisms. «You»: That sounds somehow dangerous. Abode: It is. So while within, just play the part as Grimveil originally did as much as possible. Do not in any way interact or change things. We will talk afterward. «The Scene changes, and you are now equipped in [link=]Grimveil Form[/link]. Grimveil stands on a plain near the water; it is nighttime.» Grimveil: The Brilhado may not have won the war to preserve our arts, but we will rise again. «Grimveil raises his hand: a nimbus of magic surrounds it. Toward the right, a strange shadow, ???, encroaches upon the Scene.» ???: What a predictably unimaginative response! Why are people such uncreative fools? ???: Also, you are about to blow yourself out of creation.

We have more pressing matters. Grimveil: Matters? Like what? Who are you? ???: Had you any sense, while the Chosen and their hangers-on were fighting you would have lain waiting to set... other plans... in motion. Grimveil: I DID. I was in Darkovia during the war! ???: While I can barely believe that, my research tells me that your words are true. Grimveil: Who are you? Why do I-- ???: You are a friend, so you can call me Rutan. To the rest of the world, I am ENTROPY. ENTROPY: What is equally obvious and true however is that you have made no progress in your studies. Nor have you learned anything from the experience. ENTROPY: But! I have used my connections and have access to something that can assist. «The outline of a doorway is carved into the Scene.» Grimveil: The Loremaster's hall? He will detect us! ENTROPY: Will he, then? You are SO unimaginative. No, he won't, and the Abode itself will not. ENTROPY: Long have I been preparing. His ignorance has been assured by those even more contemptible than you. Grimveil: I do not see what you hope to gain by prodding at those events, Ru... no, not Rutan. I do not know you to be a friend, and I reckon I will stick with your public title. Grimveil: ahem I do not see what you hope to gain by prodding at those events, ENTROPY. ENTROPY: I seek to help you learn what you will, Grimveil. Not that it will change your fate. Or mine. Grimveil: What fate? ENTROPY: Entropy is the fate that awaits us all. Now go. Relive that which you have forgotten. «The Scene spirals and is enclosed by the outline of a doorway, which then disappears.» Construction site of the new Temple of Hope - Deren «Scene: Construction site of the new Temple of Hope. Diviara speaks to Myr.» Diviara: How goes the progress on the statue of The'Galin? Myr: More slowly than I would like. I'm still not certain of this placement for the main statue. I think we may need to move them together in a larger alcove. Myr: Worse, the Sun and Shadowstone deliveries from Stone Deep are delayed... Myr: ... and the Shadow Knights tell me the Vandarian Council is charging a massive excise tax. Diviara: Against Deren? But we are their ally now! Myr: No, against me. I used to date the assessor's sister. Long story... Diviara: (thinking) And here I thought that with so many Vandarian imports, having a Vandarian in the construction would smooth the process! What am I doing here? Diviara: What am I doing here? Myr: You are far too distracted to work, Brilhado; you should join your son in Darkovia. Diviara: (thinking) He seems irritated. I must have been more distant than I thought. Grimveil: What is ENTROPY on about?! This is NOT my history. Is this some game? Myr: Your moping about here actually is hindering rather than aiding my progress. I can hold the fort here until you return. Diviara: Why bother? I can see the war from here. Myr: Because, von Krieger and Obsidia are there. Diviara: What's the point? I would just be blowing hot air. They seem quite determined in their course. Diviara: Obsidia will not be happy that we refused her summons to begin with, and von Krieger wouldn't even see me, no less listen to me. ???: He is right, you know. «Drakath enters.» Drakath: I know Artix all too well. He can be quite single-minded. Myr: Hello, Prince Drakath. Do you really think so? Drakath: I know so. Diviara: Unfortunately, so do I. Drakath: Of course, Brilhado, were I you, I would heed the architect's advice anyway. Diviara: Really? And why, pray tell? Drakath: Your son is there. He is bound to be caught in the crossfire. Diviara: Point taken. But I have duties to the crown... and to you. Drakath: Neither will have gone anywhere in your absence. I, like Myr, am eager to get out from under your thumb, and the king understands family. «Tralin enters.» Tralin: I certainly do. Myr and Diviara: Your Highness! Tralin: I seriously regretted not being at Stone Deep when my father died. I would not have you risk the same fate. Go, Diviara. Diviara: (thinking) He nearly killed himself with that metanoia potion. Regret is an understatement. Diviara: Were you a lesser man, you might say it would be my just desserts. Tralin: Do not be ridiculous!! You are my friend. What happened there was lifetimes away. Drakath: And you are NOT a lesser man. Diviara: No. He is not. Diviara: Indeed he is not. Why do I have the feeling the three of you planned this all along? Myr: ♪whistles♫ Drakath: I am sure I have no clue what you are on about. Tralin: Whatever gave you that idea? Diviara: Call it a hunch. Tralin: Well, you HAVE been uselessly moping around the castle for three days... Tralin: That might make one think something had to be done. Go and witness history, even if this once you are not to be a part of it, my friend. Tralin: Now, Myr... about your friend in the Vandarian Trade Guilde... Myr: gulp «Scene fades to grey.» ENTROPY: Of course, he was wrong. All are part of history, and all are pulled by ENTROPY toward their fate. «Scene: Battleon during the Necromancer vs. Paladin war.

Amilara: I said, I expect Cagliari back with a report at any moment. «Cagliari runs in, pursued by Paladins.» 2 BATTLES Full Heal Amilara: How goes the war, soldier? Diviara: Ouch. You might have chosen a more fortunate analogy, Amilara. Amilara: Maybe. But the results of these actions are quite plain. Cagliari: Quite so. Cagliari: Losses are close on all sides, but at the moment the Paladin Order seems to be being karmically rewarded for their instigation of this affront. Diviara: The Commander-- watch out! 4 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 Diviara: ahem The Commander must be thrilled. Cagliari: He is... less than enthusiastic. Cagliari: How ironic it would be for our own Order to succeed where Father Dhows failed. Cagliari: But he sees the fighting as an inevitable result of-- Diviara: What in the world was that?! Cagliari: I beg your pardon? Amilara: I felt it, too. Amilara: Cagliari, direct your friends and those who remain loyal to fall back to Darkovia and taken no further part in this senseless folly. Cagliari: My friends, perhaps, but I will stay at your side. Diviara: No, my son is right. Cagliari, you NEED to fall back! Cagliari: Why? Amilara would never turn from me in an hour of need; I shall not do so now. Amilara: We need to go to the front, Cagliari, and that would not be a safe place for you. Cagliari: And do you think the paladins fighting there will slow long enough to recognize that the two of you are not enemy Brilhado, either Diviara: A fair enough point, Cagliari, except that you are talking about Amilara and I. We can keep them at bay with the Cold alone if it came to that, and I do not intend for it to get that far. Diviara: On the other hand, if you were there, my son would just be worried for your well-being. Diviara: In other words-- and I say this not to be inconsiderate but ratehr with genuine affection-- Diviara: -- your being there puts Amilara at greater risk than any aid you can offer. You are a liability. Cagliari: Put like that, I suppose you are right. Amilara: He is very right, friend. You know me very well. I could not rest for a moment. I would not be on my toes. Amilara: More fighting. Hold on... 2 BATTLES Full Heal Cagliari: If you are both sure... Diviara: We are very sure, Cagliari. Sound the retreat, and good luck. Cagliari: And good luck to you as well. «He leaves.» Amilara: You were thinking that we may need it, weren't you? Diviara: Something very definitely is wrong. ENTROPY: Of course, had Amilara known what was actually coming, and just how wrong things were getting, he might have kept Father Lux much closer to home. ENTROPY: Not that such would have spared any of them. It is an unstoppable force. Grimveil: What? ENTROPY: ENTROPY cannot be denied. «ENTROPY's shadow covers the corner of the Scene, and then the entire Scene goes dark.» ENTROPY: Now let us see what it was you were doing at the time. «Scene: Brilhado Gate Necromancer's Fortress, Eastern Deren.» Grimveil (Past Self): There are those who will tell you that now is the time to fall back, to rest upon our laurels. Grimveil (Past Self): Those who will state that the Order of Mysterious Necromancers’ guidance is suspect. Their purpose, manipulation. Grimveil (Past Self): They are, of course, correct: the Order of Mysterious Necromancers offers us nothing in the long run but deception. Grimveil (Past Self): They were founded on a lie, and their goals are their own advancement. In the end, the time will come for us to cast off the yoke of these would-be leaders… Grimveil (Present Self): (thinking) I remember this clearly, ENTROPY. What is the point of this? ENTROPY: If you would learn what I have to teach you, Brilhado, then observe. Grimveil (Past Self): But I tell you, these individuals who cling to the tatters of diplomacy as if somehow they could will peace into existence... Grimveil (Past Self): ... are no better leaders for the Brilhado than those cloaked magi who hide their acts behind the image of another! ENTROPY: You were inspiring! Shortsighted and driven by your arrogance, but inspiring. Grimveil (Past Self): These pacifists act not out of vision, but out of fear. The world of Lore is changing. Grimveil (Past Self): Faced with such a change and the uncertainty that comes along with it, these diplomats would run and hide like the Drakel of old... Grimveil (Past Self): ... who in the hope that they could hide from the Uncreator’s passing, took to the mountains for 1000 years. Grimveil (Past Self): My father led the Brilhado in the wake of such a ruler. I’ve seen directly the results of such cowardly guidance… Grimveil (Past Self): ... and it is the very same deposed leader whose counsel now suggests that we should turn aside from this conflict. Grimveil (Past Self): Were the wishes of the Celegra family realized, the Brilhado would be reduced to an afterthought, a footnote, on the pages of history. Grimveil (Past Self): Worse, the very creature that slew my father offers the Drakel king guidance at the hand of that same family! Grimveil (Past Self): Diviara Celegra may be loyal to the Uncreator, but he is a traitor to the Brilhado, to our people, to our culture, and to our history! Grimveil (Past Self): And his son Amilara is an apostate who would lead us in a different war entirely... Grimveil (Past Self): ... a civil war from within, seeking to liberate the very creatures who owe their continued existence to our intervention, but who ungratefully shove us away! Grimveil (Past Self): The rightful place of our kind is as the rulers of this weak and failing world! Grimveil (Past Self): Not as afterimages barely able to hold on to their own light, no less lead their new creation and bring life and light to that darkness! Grimveil (Past Self): Remember, we did not create this war, and those who say that we are equally culpable in rising to the bait of our aggressors are engaged in a subterfuge. Grimveil (Past Self): We respond to threats on our very way of living; not responding to such aggression is the same as acquiescence to the aggressor... Grimveil (Past Self): ... and I tell you that such action will never stand! Grimveil (Past Self): It is the Paladins who brought this new calamity upon our heads, and it is the Paladin Order who must pay the levy and tariff that is due for such actions. Grimveil (Past Self): There are those who are calling now for an election among our people. Grimveil (Past Self): Who would defy the record and wishes of our late great ruler, Shroudbrood, my father, in selecting his own replacement? Grimveil (Past Self): Who would add to this conflict, a battle of succession? Grimveil (Past Self): Have we not faced enough in this unprovoked war, on our very livelihoods without adding internal drama to the conflict? ENTROPY: And yet you were unable to hold all of this together... why? Grimveil (Present Self): (thinking) The ley lines were disrupted. Nothing I said here ultimately could stand against changes to the fabric of magic itself. ENTROPY: Is that so? I think another cause at play. Grimveil (Past Self): Mark me well! Down that pathway lie the bones and ashes of our enemies! Grimveil (Past Self): The people of Vandar ruled via acclamation, and their rulership created the very foundations that the Brilhado used to reclaim our foothold in this world. Grimveil (Past Self): Ask yourself: what is being sought in such a call? Grimveil (Past Self): Why might the Celegras and those like them wish to interfere with the orderly and proper succession of the Brilhado people? Grimveil (Past Self): I say unto you, it is no wonder that Diviara Celegra would support such a course! Grimveil (Past Self): It is no wonder because he, as a Wearer of the Mantle, used just such a tyranny of the majority, to control Vandar, Neld, and ultimately Deren! Grimveil (Past Self): Celegra is no better than a hypocrite, and he will use just such an illusion of choice to guide our people, not into glory... Grimveil (Past Self): ... but into the faded memories of the past that he offers as a false hope of the world to come! Grimveil (Past Self): We know that that which has fallen does not simply rise again, but that which has fallen can be made to rise via the very arts we have mastered for so long. Grimveil (Past Self): We must stand strong! The Brilhado must respond to any threat to our sovereignty and authority with unflinching determination and single-minded perseverance! Grimveil (Past Self): We must see through false promises and hopes and build a future based upon the glory of our past station rather than on the memories of a world long since lost to us. Grimveil (Past Self): Grimveil, the rightful leader of the Brilhado people and general of her necromancers, has spoken. «Scene fades to grey.» Grimveil: I know all of that. I know what happened. You are wasting my time. ENTROPY: You know NOTHING. You know but a single view on a larger picture. Blinded by ignorance, you are a fool, son of Shroudbrood. NOW LISTEN TO ME OR PERISH. Grimveil: Do you threaten me? ENTROPY: On the contrary, foolish child, you threaten yourself with your untamed games. I see you question my power, though. ENTROPY: I will now use the hall to show you what the powers themselves know. I shall reveal to you things you could never have known. «Scene: Cagliari Lux stood at the edge of Darkovia looking out into the world beyond. For the moment, the war situation seemed to have abated near this front.» Cagliari: (thinking) It is not merely undead that come. Whether the living Darkovians come in support of the undead or fleeing for their own reasons, I cannot say. Cagliari: (thinking) But the refugee camp is rapidly spilling past its borders, and will need to be expanded again in another day or so at this rate. «Kid Fal enters.» Cagliari: Good evening, Loremaster. Kid Fal: Good evening, Brother Lux. Cagliari: With respect, Loremaster, why are you here? I was under the distinct impression that the Pantheon was maintaining a policy of strict neutrality in these affairs. Kid Fal: I have never been one to sit around idly. My fellows can make all of the proclamations they want, and the official position does indeed remain one of non-interference... Kid Fal: but I have taken the position, supported by those same individuals, that the non-interference paradigm is restricted to the actual conflict. Kid Fal: This camp, therefore, is outside of the matter, and I have received calls seeking aid. Cagliari: It must take a particular individual to contact you. Kid Fal: Once, maybe. I have been a bit less than secretive about my home number and address of late, though. Oddly enough, my requests for aid come from two very disparate sources. Cagliari: Lady Cenara and her half-brother? Kid Fal: No. That may have been unusual, but it hardly would have been odd, given the fact that Lady Cenara and Lord Donovan both have a standing agreement with me. Kid Fal: Interestingly, neither party has asked me for aid in these events. I think they both know that my taking a direct hand would be problematic. ENTROPY: Note, Grimveil, the impugnity with which I access these memories? He has no awareness of this. «Erebus appears.» Erebus: Who are you, Brilhado, and how are you mucking about with my own backdoors? ENTROPY: Blasted, the Shade would notice, wouldn't he? Well, you are no part of this business, Shade. You were not even on Lore. These events do NOT concern you. Erebus: You?! I... see. Up to your OWN games, are you, then? And just what is your cause? ENTROPY: My cause is ENTROPY. And you will not interfere, or I will unveil the mechanism of your access to the Loremaster myself. Erebus: Oh, such nastiness. No need. I am interested in observing what you seek to create. Erebus: But more transmorphers are coming. They are not in my control, so you will need to make it through. «He disappears.» ENTROPY: Blast! Deal with the creatures, Grimveil. 4 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2 and #4 Falerin: My requests come from one of the higher members of the Paladin Order, the Paladin Coueraservi, and a very particular necromancer, Amilara Celegra. Falerin: You know both parties, I think? Cagliari: Coueraservi sought your aid in this conflict? And what did he seek? Falerin: The same thing that Amilara Celegra did, actually, which is actually why I have responded. Cagliari: The same thing? Falerin: The protection of the people who have been seeking shelter here from being caught in the crossfire. Falerin: Those who have gathered under the banner of one of the various lords and ladies who rule this region have their own protection... Falerin: ... but those who have taken up shelter here can turn to neither Donovan nor Cenara, neither Constantin nor Safiria. Falerin: Your comrades here, Cagliari, are the only true innocents in this conflict, and neither Commander Coueraservi nor Amilara wishes to see you caught in the inevitable crossfire. Cagliari: Amilara, I can understand, but why would Coueraservi involve himself in this way Cagliari: Especially knowing that it might be considered an act of treason by some within his order? Falerin: I cannot begin to speculate on the motives of the man. I can only say that those motives are genuine. Falerin: Perhaps Coueraservi shares more with Commander Paladin than their station or strikingly familiar appearance. Cagliari: They do look quite similar... ENTROPY: More interlopers, Grimveil. That Shade may not be stopping us, but his presence has stirred the infestation. 2 BATTLES Full Heal Falerin: Commander Paladin himself is bound by the same non-intervention that the others are. Falerin: It is a risk that the Lady even allows you to be involved, but she knows that this is your direct home, that these are your people. Falerin: What happened in Luminovia is long ago, but what has happened to you here is very fresh indeed. Cagliari: Yes, I suppose so. I guess I can understand Coueraservi’s motivation, but it seems he takes a grave risk in making such a proclamation publicly. Falerin: Unquestionably, there are those in the order who would disagree with his choice. Falerin: Very few in the order would dare impugn his motives. After what Coueraservi suffered for the order, he is viewed as ‘entitled’ to his eccentricities. «Lady Morimas enters.» Cagliari: (thinking) I see my Lady of Light, like the Caelestian, was fully prepared to skirt the boundaries of the non-intervention order. Brilhado Lich: “The Barrier is weak at Quadrant 3, Sector 7, and at Quadrant 4, Sector 9. Are you certain we cannot simply do estate transference as before? Falerin: I am certain. «Kid Fal transforms briefly to Loremaster Falerin, and then to Muscles Falerin.» Muscles Falerin: Very certain, Lady Morimas. Given my own direct involvement in the Lorian pantheon... Muscles Falerin:... transport of large numbers of Darkovian undead and random Darkovian creatures into Caelestia for an unknown duration... «Muscles Falerin transforms into Falerin's human form.» Falerin: It would raise questions I would be unable to answer. Many would consider it a direct violation of the Farpoint. Falerin: And learning that I did so with the sufferance of Lorithia, but not with her authorization, would only increase those tensions. Cagliari: Why? Falerin: I assume that the answer is because he fought beside many of you in Donovan’s action. Falerin: He even fought against many of you, which is bound to have a lasting impact on someone as introspective as Coueraservi. Cagliari: No, I do not mean that. I mean, why are you doing this? Why are any of you involved? Lady Morimas: You have aided us before. Falerin: And Cagliari, you know very well that war makes for strange friends. Cagliari: That is not an answer. You know something about this that you are not sharing. «Falerin shifts into his Lanfiré form in a manner somehow quite distinct from the lazy shifting that had come before it.» Falerin: If that were so, Cagliari, how would your asking aid the situation in any manner, shape, or form? Falerin: In fact, how would your asking do anything, other than to draw unnecessary attention to the fact that… «Giliara Celegra enters.» Falerin: Hello, Gil... «Falerin returns to his Loremaster form.» Giliara: Hello, Fal. And why, if it isn’t Cagliari Lux! Hello, my old friend! Cagliari: (thinking) Just what is this? Cagliari: (thinking) That Giliara is present can only mean that the Lady of Light is taking a firm and direct hand in these matters. Cagliari: (thinking) Commander Paladin was excluded and so instead, she sends one of her most direct servitors? Cagliari: (thinking) And given Giliara's status, he is one even more likely to be perceived as being her direct meddling in the affairs occurring here. Why would she do that? Giliara: I had to be sure neither of my relations was present before landing here. I have been forbidden from direct contact with my brother or nephew in this event. Giliara: Nor can I aid directly aid or proffer assistance to either side of the warring parties. My attention is instead focused on the plight of my people, and those of the undead. Cagliari: The plight of your people? Lady Morimas: The Brilhado-- all Brilhado, and not merely the necromancers-- have been affected by this war, and in its aftermath, they stand to be affected even more surely. Lady Morimas: My purpose in regard to them is simple. I was the first Brilhado Communicant of the Lady since the Fall. Lady Morimas: With the changing face of Lore, we expect others may soon follow my lead; I am to aid the passage of those of our kind who would seek service under the Lady in Aloria. Cagliari: The changing face of Lore? [NOTE: This line was accidentally dropped. Dialogue fix to be uploaded for next week. The above "error" is intended. ~IMR] Giliara: !!! Falerin: Shakes head Be silent, Giliara. We cannot. He is too involved. Besides, your brother is on the front this very moment. They will learn. Giliara: ... I see. Tell my brother and nephew that I miss them; it has been too long since either of them has visited Aloria. Cagliari: You really intend to keep what it is you know secret. Falerin: We have said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ave said too-- ENTROPY: Bah, the transmorphers are interfering with the replay. Deal with them. 2 BATTLES Full Heal Falerin: We have said too much. Cagliari understands that they will be depending on him. That is the best we can do. Lady Morimas: Yes, I suppose so. Giliara, we must depart. Giliara: Time to leave, Cagliari. Send my regards to everyone! «All but Cagliari disappear.» Cagliari: Just what in the worlds is going on here?! «Scene fades to darkness. We return to Grimveil in the "present."» Grimveil: A fair question: just what is going on? Why show me this? ENTROPY: It formed the backdrop. It showed the willingness of the powers to flaunt the rules. And it was here that Cagliari was attacked. ENTROPY: He sought to aid some young undead and the Paladin Xander captured him and beat him to near death, disassembling him and crushing his skull. ENTROPY: Yet it was YOU, Grimveil, who ultimately saved him! Though you tried to profit from that, didn't you? Grimveil: I did. I tried to demand his cooperation in return for healing him. When he refused... I left him to his fate. Grimveil: Though I did toss his skull into the underbrush so that it would not be further harmed. ENTROPY: What changed your mind? Why did you ultimately choose to save Cagliari Lux rather than leaving him to harm, Grimveil? Grimveil: You would like it to be some greater profit motive, no doubt? The debt Amilara Celegra might owe me, perhaps? It was nothing of that sort, Rutan. Grimveil: I saved Lux because I realized what letting him die would make me become... ENTROPY: Would your father have acted in that fashion, Grimveil? Grimveil: No. He would have killed Lux himself or enslaved him using his necromancy when he refused cooperation. ENTROPY: So you acted in a manner quite different than your father did? ENTROPY: Could it be that your father is the very thing you feared becoming? ENTROPY: Yet here you are now, experimenting with very dangerous magics in order to restore your father's legacy. ENTROPY: Do you suppose such inconsistency in your actions makes you "deep", Grimveil? It does not. It merely makes you erratic. ENTROPY: Make no mistake. I know something about the subject. The very war that tears apart your people now, I am encouraging from the sidelines. I am no friend of the Brilhado. Grimveil: If you seek the destruction of my people, then why in the world are you trying to aid me? Grimveil: What is your goal in this, ENTROPY? Why are you seeking to alter my course? ENTROPY: It is very simple, really. I desire to survive long enough to bring my plans to fruition, and your efforts are so dangerous that they could destroy us all. Grimveil: You openly admit to wishing my people harm, and that your efforts to stop me here are not for my benefit but for your own... Grimveil: ... and yet you expect me to trust a word you say? ENTROPY: Not at all. I expect you to completely mistrust everything I say. And if you knew half of what I will bring, you would mistrust me even more. ENTROPY: But I speak the truth, and the truth is shown by the mechanism the Loremaster has in place. ENTROPY: Your trust is not required. I merely require enough common sense on your part to realize that your own well-being is served by listening to me in this instance. ENTROPY: Of course, if you prove to have little, I will resort to more potent methods to enforce my will here. Grimveil: NOW you are threatening me. ENTROPY: See... I knew you were a smart boy. ENTROPY: Another is coming. I trust you can handle yourself, Grimveil? «Drakath enters.» Drakath: You are Grimveil? The son of Shroudbrood the Undying? Grimveil: Yes. Drakath: I am-- Grimveil: I know you are. Why have you come to me? You must know what I think of you. Drakath: I come because... Drakath: In truth, I do not really know why. Erebus intends this as a manipulation almost assuredly. He sent me and he told me to kill you if you would not hear me. Grimveil: That seems apt enough for the Shade. He was recently here. Drakath: Erebus was here? Then why still send me? Grimveil: To manipulate you, too, no doubt. What is it that you want to say? Drakath: I've come because what you are attempting is very dangerous. Drakath: And because I do not want you to be any more manipulated than I myself have been. Grimveil: Go on. Drakath: You are willing to listen to me? Grimveil: This is turning out to be a very strange day. Grimveil: And I realize in retrospect I have no great love for my father anyway. Rather, only a desire to preserve what I cannot hold onto. Grimveil: Nonetheless, I will regain my necromancy. I assure you of that. Drakath: Perhaps, but the means you wish to employ now are the height of folly. There are other who may aid you in a far less destructive course. Drakath: So you will hear me out? Grimveil: Just now, I think perhaps I am willing to listen to anything. I won't promise I won't try to kill you the second you are done. Grimveil: But I will hear you out, Prince of the Slugwrath family. Speak, then. Also tell me all you know of the shade Erebus, and of a man who calls himself Rutan. «You return as yourself to the Hall of Memories.» Abode: So what do you make of it, «You»? «You»: Manipulations on top of manipulations. My head is spinning. I can hardly tell who is manipulating whom. «You»: I can't help but feel that I'm being manipulated in all of this as well. Abode: A real possibility. So how do we proceed? «You»: Very cautiously. Have you informed Falerin of this? Abode: Not yet. As I said, he is still off-world. «You»: Well, let him know.

quote: Big Trobble on Little Syna Location: Today's Event » Big Trobble on Little Syna: Bizarre encounter! «Scene: The Red Betty» Captain Rhubarb: What I'd like to do today is get ye version of what happened. Floyd's dialogue is translated from Meep-Meep to Battleonian Common. Floyd: You mean the truth. «Throughout the ensuing conversation, the perspective of the Scene shifts to face the speaker.» Captain Rhubarb: Of course. First, just state ye name and occupation for the record. Floyd: Floyd, deckhand and part-time cannonball. Captain Rhubarb: Now, before w' get to th' meat of this thing, do ya at the present time 'ave any knowledge o' th' whereabouts o' «You»? Floyd: Oh please, will you leave him alone? Captain Rhubarb: Floyd, please, ye could be in a great deal of trouble. Half an island explodes in a ball of green flame. Green flame! Captain Rhubarb: Chaos be breakin' loose here! And there be people that say ya might be involved, that ya might be responsible, that ya be a very dangerous trobble. Captain Rhubarb: Now, if you're protecting «You»-- Floyd: You leave «You» alone! We are in his debt! He showed great courage. Captain Rhubarb: As yer captain, there still be somethings I be needin' to know that still don't make any sense to me. Like... do ya believe in magic? Floyd: You mean Trobble black magic? Yes, absolutely. Captain Rhubarb: How can I know that, Floyd? Floyd: How? Captain Rhubarb: Arrrr! Yes, how? Help me out here! «Floyd opens his eyes wide, and great sparks of Energy fly from them.» Floyd: See? That was nothing. Floyd: But that's how it always begins... very small. Somewhere deep in the Greenguard Forest... «Scene: Greenguard Forest. The ground is littered with dead forest creatures, and you are just finishing off another one.» «You»: I swear, this Forest gets more infested with monsters every day! A hero's work is never done. «You»: You can't even trust the bushes around this place. ???: HEEEEEEEEEEELLLP! «You»: Sounds like trouble. I'd better investigate! «Scene shifts to the right, where a trobble is help captive by two Bigfoots... er, Bigfeet?» ???: Thank goodness! I am in need of assistance! I believe these foul beasts have mistaken me for a toy! «You»: I see. You there, furry creature! Drop that trobble! «The Bigfeet turn.» Bigfoot: OUR WOOBY! 2 BATTLES: Bigfoot Full Heal «You»: Man, are you glad that I brought my Trobble Amulet so that I can understand you! ???: My thanks to you, hero! What is your name? «You»: «You». What are you doing way out here? This place is dangerous. Floyd: They call me Floyd. I am on my way to Lolosia to pick up my bride-to-be, and wanted to pick her the perfect flowers. Floyd: Well, I "was" on my way until those big fur heaps decided to snatch me up. «You»: You couldn't have picked a safer place to pick flowers?! Floyd: Oh, she is no ordinary trobble, «You»! Not only does she hold my heart, but she has green eyes. Very rare. «You»: Sounds like you could use an escort, Floyd. Lolosia isn't too far from here. Floyd: Many thanks, «You». I have not seen my love, Ti Mae, in ages and am both excited and nervous about our wedding. «You»: Well, I love a good happy ending. Let's get going! «Scene: Lolosia» Floyd: Ti Mae, my love! So good to finally see you again! Ti Mae: Floyd darling, oh, how I have missed you! «Ti Mae starts to walk toward Floyd, but two other Trobbles wearing black and white glasses enter and push her back.» «You»: What the... Floyd: Oh no, it's the Trobbles of Death street gang! «You»: What are they doing here?! ???: I believe I can answer that... «A very old and shriveled Trobble enters on a card pushed by another member of the Trobbles of Death.» Floyd: To Pan! To Pan: Indeed it is I, coming for my new bride! «You»: What's your problem, pal? You don't just wheel in here and kidnap trobbles! To Pan: My problem is this body, this body is my tomb. To Pan: A young man, a king, a warrior, was entombed in this old trobble's crippled body 2000 years ago. And all I need is a woman. To Pan: A special kind of woman with dragon-green eyes to make me whole and young again. So that I may rule the universe from beyond the grave. To Pan: A girl with green eyes, a girl brave enough to quench the Blazing Blade. «You»: I'm supposed to believe this nonsense? 2000 years and he can't find a gal to fit the bil? «You»: C'mon, To, you must be doing something seriously wrong. To Pan: Enough! I have waited eons for this day. You will not stop me now. «You»: Not so, To. You'll be rolling out of here disappointed. To Pan: No, it is you who will taste the bitterness of disappointment. «To Pan's eyes glow with power as a great blast of power streams toward you from his mouth.» Floyd: Don't look, «You»! «The beam dissipates.» «You»: Ahhhh, I'm blind! I can't see anything! To Pan: Well that's what you get! Thunder, take her to my island and begin preparation for the ritual. «A Trobble zaps into the Scene from above and exits the same way, taking Ti Mae.» «You»: Wait, what's happening? I heard thunder. Floyd: One of To Pan's goons took Ti Mae! To Pan: Hahahaaa, that's right! Let's go-- I have a wedding to get ready for... then ETERNAL LIFE! «The Trobbles of Death leave.» To Pan: Bah! Wait, you fools! I lack the appropriate limbs to operate this chair! «One returns to wheel To Pan away.» «You»: Don't worry, «You», the blindness is temporary. Floyd: To Pan must be going back to his palace on the island of Syna. We have to stop him! «You»: Yes... and once I can see again I'll get right on that. Floyd: Some water splashed in the eyes should bring your vision back. We can chase after him in this ship. Near the coast of Syna island... Floyd: There it is, To Pan's palace! That's where that wretched trobble has taken my love. «You»: Yeah, this guy is a model for evil. He has his own island and everything. Well, those rice paper doors won't hold us back! Floyd: No, «You», it won't be that easy. To Pan will no doubt have his palace heavily guarded, and we don't have a second to spare. Floyd: Once the ritual is complete, he will have no need for Ti Mae. We must find another way in and be quick about it. «Scene fades. You and Floyd have arrived on a beach on Syna.» Floyd: We must be very careful, «You». This place is swarm-- 2 BATTLES: Sand Golem Full Heal «You»: Good grief, we just got here! This will be tougher than I expected. «Floyd runs ahead.» «You»: C'mon! We must hurry! 2 BATTLES: Sand Golem Full Heal «Scene pans from a view of To Pan's palace down to you and Floyd in the forest below.» Floyd: We're getting close! This may be the entrance to the catacombs. Check it out, «You»! Check the bushes!! 1 BATTLE: Am-Boss Full Heal «The bushes part to reveal a cave.» «You»: Seriously? Even the bushes are evil! Floyd: Excellent work, «You»! «Floyd runs into the catacombs.» 2 BATTLES: Undead Full Heal «Scene: The catacombs. Skeletons hang from the ceiling.» «You»: Wow, I love what he's done with the place. The skeletons add a welcoming "come on in and die" sorta feel. Floyd: This is not joke, «You»! To Pan lines the corridors with the remains of his defeated foes! «You»: Huh? Are we talking about the same trobble? The nasty looking prune-skinned fella we met back at the docks? Floyd: You don't understand. To Pan is a powerful sorcerer. «You»: C'mon... he couldn't even move-- Sigh All right, if you say so. I do remember being blinded. Floyd: Right, now let's go! 2 BATTLES: Undead Full Heal «Further in along in the passageway, you encounter two Four-Eyed Menaces.» «You»: What are THOSE? Wait, don't tell me. Floyd: Four-Eyed Menaces! What they see, To Pan sees. We must be very close. 2 BATTLES: Four-Eyed Menace Full Heal «You»: Well, To Pan definitely knows we're here. «You»: You hear something? Dexterity Check! The fighting must have loosened some rocks and began a cave-in! Difficulty: 90 Stat Used: Dexterity «If you fail the roll, your HP is damaged by an amount equal to five turns of damage.» If you pass: «You»: RUN! 2 BATTLES: Undead Full Heal «You»: There's light pouring in from that crack. It could be our way in. Floyd: Maybe if we ran at it together we can break through! «Scene: Inside the palace proper.» Floyd: Good call, «You»! This looks like the corridor leading to To Pan's chamber. 2 BATTLES: Trobble Full Heal Floyd: Mi Tae! Ti Mae: ....... «You»: What have you done to her, To Pan? To Pan: How did you get past my palace guard!? It matters not-- there is nothing you can do to stop me! Heheheee! «You»: Think again! I'm going to whip the wrinkles off you! To Pan: You will not stop me. Thunder, Lightning, Rain-- take care of these meddlers! «Three Storm Trobbles zap in.» 1 BATTLE: Storm Trobble (3) Full Heal To Pan: You are too late! The ritual has begun! «Ti Mae rises and the flames of the Blazing Blade are quenched. She falls back to the floor.» To Pan: Yeeees! My curse... lifting! Now you will feel my wrath! «To Pan returns to a youthful black Trobble form. His size breaks the chair in which he was sitting, and he falls to the ground.» To Pan: Well this is embarrassing... 1 BATTLE: To Pan Full Heal Ti Mae: Floyd? Where are we? Floyd: This is To Pan's palace. He stole you to make you his-- To Pan: AHHHHHHHHH! «Green flames start to stream out of To Pan's body.» «You»: Explain it later, Floyd! We gotta get out of here! «From the safety of your ship, you, Floyd, and Ti Mae watch Syna explode in green flame.» «You»: whistles That little trobble went supernova. Ti Mae: Oh, Floyd! I knew you would save me! «You»: ahem cough Floyd: Thank you, «You». I could not have done it without you! Floyd: ... and now we can be married, my love. «They cuddle.» «You»: Two precious little trobbles... in love. sniffle So beautiful sniffle Floyd: You okay, «You»?

Toduh: And yet all sorts of things that never were I can remember, like your identical twin Drickensmirtz. «You»: Drickensmirtz?! You're pulling my leg. Toduh: The detector of farce is strong with this one... Toduh: Toduh of Dangobuh I am, current keeper of The'Galin's Splendid Hut, and tell you I do that listen you must to the blacksmith he is.

In fact, you can say that now as a temporal echo-- an uncreated eddy-- Dark Madder: -- «You», I am you mother! «You»: Don't be ridiculous. My mother is... Dark Madder: Is what? Finding it hard to remember? Tell me one thing about her whatsoever. «You»: ... «You»: It is true. I remember nothing. All of my memories are fading. I am no one. Nothing... «Toduh and Hans enter.» «You»: Nothing... Hans: «You», no! It is a deception. Hans: Your memories are being blocked only by the swarming uncreation energy, and Madder is using the Cold on you to manipulate your thoughts and fears!

The Hall of Memories » Open Doors! » Click on the arrow » 6: Liliana's Request «Scene: The Temple of Hope (I think?).» Genoclysm: It was nice to see someone from the old gang again, but I'm afraid I'm beginning to toe the line of procrastination. I do have some research to attend to. ???: Be sure to keep yourself out of trouble. Genoclysm: I can try, though you and everyone else that was in The Abode knows trouble has a mind of its own. And is sometimes worth pursuing, for that matter. ???: Things were more interesting back then, though I go as the Wind blows, ever changing and ephemeral, I can only go as zie directs and follow zir will. «You and Ryussei enter the scene.» Ryuusei: We all got into trouble. Lady Liliana, allow me to introduce you to «you», chosen of LORE. Ryuusei: «You», this is Liliana, the High Communicant of the Wind. «You»: Huh. That's an interesting title. Liliana: Greetings, Ryussei. This is the legendary «you»? It is fortunate that we should meet. Liliana: What is it that interests you about my title? «You»: It doesn't match. The others seem to be like "Communicant of the Lord of Element" or "Lady of Element" or some variant. Liliana: Why is there an Ice Lord and also a Water Lord, since ice is just frozen water? Why not Cold Lord? Why is the element wind rather than air? «You»: Uhhh.... I don't know the answer to those either? Liliana: It is due to Lorian history. All such names are given by the peoples of Lore and are not self-identifiers chosen by the Lords themselves. Liliana: The different peoples named their names based on the interactions they had with said Lords. Liliana: The wind is ever changing, and it is the wind that one notices in air. Otherwise one rarely notices air at all-- save when one is deprived of it. Liliana: Manifestations of the other Lords have been less variable. Each power has a preferred appearance and nature, though there are some others for whom Lord or Lady is a matter of debate. Liliana: The Wind, however, seems to vary with every single encounter. Liliana: Gendered language thus becomes incapable of clear expression. Ryuusei: Not that genderless language is any less variable here. It is a matter of preference, not convention. «You»: I see. That makes sense, I guess. Genoclysm: If you'll excuse me.... Liliana: Farewell. «Genoclysm leaves.» Liliana: As it happens, your arrival is quite fortuitous. I left some belongings in a chest in the Immertot version of the Abode. Liliana: Since I am currently in preparation for the dedication ceremony I cannot retrieve them myself. «You»: That's still a problem. I can't simply go to Caelestia. «You»: The different buildings of the Abode are all connected, but that still means I need to enter one of them. I can't go back to Darkovia now. Liliana: That may not be as much of a problem as it would first seem. Abode? Abode: Yes Lady? Ah, hello Ryu, «you». Liliana: Would you be able to transfer «you» to Immertot? Abode: Yes, though be warned: undeath is constant in Immertot, and that locality has not been ventured into by others in some time. «You»: So I have a to fight on my hands. How are you in the temple? Abode: The temple is another access. I am part of the temple as all of my other locations. Abode: It was a matter of ease. Falerin does not maintain a hierarchy of communicants here, and while he may have some dedicants they do not aid temple function. Abode: So my being here as well is an easy way that he is also also present, among the many. «You»: Alrighty then. Ready when you are! «Abode transports you to Immertot.» 12 BATTLES Full Heal after battles #2, #4, #6, #8 and #10 «You»: Your belongings, Lady. ...Er, you do prefer "Lady", right? Liliana: Unlike the Wind I am fixed. Please do just call me Liliana, however. There is no need for you to stand on formality. Liliana: I do hope that you did not face too much trouble? «You»: No more than any other request made of me. «You»: Even the powers come to me to solve their problems. Why shouldn't their servitors? Liliana: I must admit that you do come highly recommended... «The scene fades to black and the Liliana's Request shop opens. Once you exit the shop:» Play again! Guardian Tower!

You spelled "Ryuusei" incorrectly.

Carandor -> RE: Quests - Read the first post! (6/7/2015 14:17:14)
Huh, that's actually how it was spelt in the quest, so I didn't check the pedia. EDIT: Warp Wars has been moved to a new location. quote: ORIGINAL: IMR I just put it in the town news - the old "WF Intro Quest" button now takes you to a sub-menu where you can play the WF-related quests. Thanks for the poke! Let me know if something goes wrong, or if the sub-menu disappears next week or something >.> goes to poke The Hollow to make sure that that doesn't happen
