This is why I think it’s good that Sundar is staying behind too. Not because E-Merl needs a keeper, but because he’s been angry and felt betrayed before. So even if E-Merl isn’t ready to talk about it he can at least understand.
“your impossible resurrections” E-merl says. Has it been established before that the NPCs know that the adventurers die and return or is this the first time it has been mentioned?
Yeah they revealed it to him in the chapter in which Syr’nj’s homeland burns down. Her dad dies and she asks Gravedust to resurrect him in front of E-Merl. It’s not clear if any of the others know though.
Eh, his player isn’t playing anymore due to being on the run so E-Merl might as well be an NPC. Same goes for Bandit and Scorpio (although there’s a different reason in Scorp’s case.)
“We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it”
I’m ten days late and all the dollars short on this one; the end formed in my head but the beginning didn’t crystallize until earlier today, so I had previously just abandoned it. I’m just posting it now because it would be a waste of it otherwise.
E-Merl, Rachel, Scipio,
Whispered in an MMO,
“Sign my charter, be my friends,
“Need to have a guild again.”
Old guild reasserts themselves,
Smoke a bowl, save some elves,
Houses give official start,
Love comes to an Open Heart.
Warring and adventuring,
PVP’s the latest thing,
Brand new hat to deal with it,
Uh oh now the party’s split.
Chaos spirits fill the air,
‘Zerkers killing everywhere,
Cultists strike another blow!
WHERE THE FUCK DID RACHEL GO?
He didn’t start the fire,
(It’s how he does his spells,
He just took someone else’s).
H.R. first lit the fire,
So when next we meet ‘im
We’ll use it to greet ‘im.
What I’m finding interesting here is E-Merl has not, to my knowledge, shown an ability to cast magic without directly using one of his tokens. Here it looks like he just conjured a fireball by pure will
I was thinking the same thing. I THINK he might still have the Band of Summer’s Flame there, and we don’t know how much it takes to activate them. Heck, for all we know, the tokens may just have been part of his player’s RP and within the world they’ve been magic feathers all along.
I *think* this might be faith fire, like what Hestia did. For evidence: the glow on E-Merl’s face is consistent with what Rachel and the other faithful manifest. Plus it would fit right in with Gravy’s prediction that E-Merl has potential, just maybe not in the arcane arts.
See, this is why you don’t wave around flaming marshmallows to put them out. They fly off and stick to someone like candy napalm. I lost some skin that way. Thanks, sis.
“One man’s continuing quest to get himself fired.”
With actual fire eve

I don’t recall any previous reference to it. I don’t know what he’s talking about.

P.S. “NPC” is not the right term for E-Merl, if that’s who you’re referring to. He’s just not one of the Five.
Eh, his player isn’t playing anymore due to being on the run so E-Merl might as well be an NPC. Same goes for Bandit and Scorpio (although there’s a different reason in Scorp’s case.)
Huh, I thought it was supposed to be the right hand of doom.
Well, it’s the “red” right hand of doom, yes?
E-Merl’s going more an orange, for now.
Doom has become more sinister than you remember.
Ha!
It’s been raised before. It’s a subject that just won’t die.
Modesty ablaze.
That’s a great stripper name.
Particularly if the act involves burning the costume?

Picard would hit that….with fire extinguisher foam.
Actually the Winter Elves are famous for their guaranteed impotence cure. Syr’Nj heard it can bring even a prick like Byron back to life.
Jeez, E-merl is getting a little hot under the collar there. I think he needs to chill out.
This argument is definitely getting heated.
“See, I don’t know why you don’t want me to come. I’m really good at this diplomacy stuff.”
…And to all an Ig Nite.
“They see me flaming they be like D:”
“We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it”
Doing Science is a thing,
Bloodshot Sisters burned by Frigg,
Byron’s fighting by the book,
Syr’nj saves a life, but look!
Payet Best just wants a job;
Now the darling of the mob,
Let the fame go to his head;
Douche for taking twins to bed.
Gravy’s trudging through the sand;
He hopes they will understand.
Bandit likes Syr’nj’s hat,
Swiftness needle? Time for that.

We don’t need no water.

BAM!
Getting a little hot under the cuff, there, E-Merl.
Fire pun!
…sorry, it was a rough night.
E-Merl is starting a heated debate
Yeeesss… Let the Hate flow through you.
Hey the dude has a burning desire to help out…

My exact suspicions as well! Would be cool to have a manifestation by anger like in x-men.
Level up!

No, the interesting bit is that he just called up a fireball in a forest full of wood elves. They’re gonna kill him.
Hey, the season’s damp enough. They’ll be fine as long as they follow basic fire safety procedure.
Stop drop and OH GOD IM ON FIRE AGH IT BURNS OH THE ELFMANITY!
E-Merl gained a level.
E-Merl learned Glowy Fireshit.
See, this is why you don’t wave around flaming marshmallows to put them out. They fly off and stick to someone like candy napalm. I lost some skin that way. Thanks, sis.
Boy he sure seems INCENSED.
perhaps he should relax and BURN OFF his temper, and get himself BURNED OUT.
What? I need a smoke.
Scipio’s having trouble keeping his cigar lit.
Twist: E-Merl was a winter elf all along, he just didn’t know it.
Yasss, significant self-development. Now he’s gonna be a fully fleshed out battle mage for the party! Go E-Merl!
He was a fire(water) mage all along. He just needed a high enough blood alcohol level to be a flaming drunk.
