For that reason, Merrick also had them play hot potato with a molten ball of arcane energy. The thought was only half joking. In a similar fashion to how they operated as a pair, with one supplying energy and the other using it, Merrick had them work as one team of ten.

The Lightning Adept and the Field Scholar. The Necromancer and the Arcanist. The Magus and the Ice Adept. The Alchemist and the Mage. The Oracle and the Apprentice.

Well I can’t say that I wouldn’t do exactly what Alric did… but… still probably not the right call 🤣
ch 55 Factions Abound: To All Curious Glades

What about like an Archmage? just an upgraded version?? Still generalist but not a beginner class.
That meant that Merrick was going to have to decide on a path instead of staying as the generalist magic class that he had been using: Mage.

Same though.
This was why he had been avoiding the Patch Notes as much as possible. The side of his brain that carried him through his research projects for the University was starting to activate. Instead of diving deeper, Merrick kept his query to the surface level and eventually found the answer to a question that had been forming since the last Faction War.

Our guy kept his score!! Woo!
First Clear: Merrick - Mage

Was the info broker just hiding this from him??

Couple of good ones on here that I wanted to leave a GIF on but it wouldn’t let me do a paragraph comment only a chapter comment so…
ch 49 Factions Abound: Dark Forest

Alric watched with disdain from the sidelines as he watched victory float upward from the shards of the Death Knight's sword. The Thief watched as the hero of his Faction slid to the ground by the fallen boss.
Fantasy · jeffkraken
Merrick was tempted to send Alric to loot the dungeon all over again while he dealt with the Colosseum Champion. The War Officiant's announcement had said that all of the monsters had been respawned and due to the increased difficulty, they would be carrying better gear.

After re-reading this chapter, I feel like Yorin is more of a Panda than a Bisco.
With a smile, the Knight-Errant took two steps forward and jumped into the air. Like an old-school video game, he hit the top of the coming avalanche and bounced upward like the expanding mushroom was a trampoline.

Merrick smiled and was about to thank the Thief but Alric continued, "Also, I thought you were some kind of genius… but it looks like you barely managed to take down the three of them. Even with preparing."

The War Officiant sighed, "Oh they are watching. So please don't break the game."
Fantasy · jeffkraken
BISCOOOOOO
The War Officiant's voice announced that the point went to The Curious Glades just as Yorin was consumed by the growing fungus and died.
Fantasy · jeffkraken
Tell me this isn’t Yorin.
With a smile, the Knight-Errant took two steps forward and jumped into the air. Like an old-school video game, he hit the top of the coming avalanche and bounced upward like the expanding mushroom was a trampoline.

Yorin cleared his throat, "Excuse me, would you mind turning off the air de-purifier for a bit?"

Once Grunt looked over, Yorin finally spoke up, "With a name like Grunt and that build, I can tell you are compensating for something."
Fantasy · jeffkraken
Merrick just wants to metagame. Let the man min/max already.
Grunt was a Paladin, but Merrick could not be sure what Oath he had taken. The Paladin's Oath was were they gained their abilities and their primary stat boosts. Based on Grunt's gear, Merrick could assume that it was either the Oath of Courage or the Oath of Vitality. Now that they had changed into their battle gear, the former Vice-Leader of Hades Collective, Grunt, was outfitted like a tank with a heavy sword strapped to his back and a giant shield strapped to his arm.
