Heroica RPG- Quest #137: Where the Dead Go to Live

[K-Nut]

Throlar interupts Althior mid-thought. "You don't want to try talking to this creature? That was your only lead here, anyways," he points to the dog.

[Endgame]

"I suppose we did have an agreement, didn't we." I smirk sadly.

"But I'm with Vindsval. I don't suppose you have any lodging to offer, Stine? Of course, we don't want to be hogging your barstools or your rooms - we'd pay our tab, all of it." I chuckle.

"I wonder what Althior and Throlar are up to, Vindsval..."

[Asphalt]

What is this of collecting tabs? Are you now a debt collector among all of your other many talents Friend Sorrow? You truly walk a broad path.

Vindsval chuckles low in his chest, a sound like the grating of boulders in a dry stream.

He looks to Stine.

I am certainly not one to leave a debt hanging over my head. When one has a head as large as mine, it is too easy a target as it is. I would certainly not expect you to offer lodgings out of the goodness of your heart. Though, I would certainly not turn down such an offer.

​Returning his eye to Sorrow.

Would it be beyond hope to expect the two of them to both be standing when we meet again. The way they speak to one another, like an old bitter married couple, one would expect them to either be at one another's throats or in one another's arms. They are certainly a pair our Prophet and our Hunter. I mean no disrespect to his grace, but the dwarf certainly seems to crawl beneath his skin.

[Kintobor]

The East Gates Party

Vindsval picks up the small mug and sips thoughtfully at its foamy contents. He smiles appreciatively as the aroma of hops and bitters hits his nose.

Truly a fine brew Master Stine. He says before a yawn cuts his words off prematurely.

My apologies, but it has been a long couple of days. There has been much work to be done since we arrived here in your fine city. I do not suppose you have a room, or even a secluded corner in which I could unpack my bedroll and REST for a few hours. I fear I may not be much longer on my feet otherwise.

"Thank you for the compliments, sir." Stine replies, bearing his toothy grin. "If it's a room you want, I rent rooms for thirty gold. They're viable until this time tomorrow. I assure you that you'll have good rest on one of our beds. Although, considering the amount of people stuck in town, I'd take a room quickly."

"I suppose we did have an agreement, didn't we." I smirk sadly.

"But I'm with Vindsval. I don't suppose you have any lodging to offer, Stine? Of course, we don't want to be hogging your barstools or your rooms - we'd pay our tab, all of it." I chuckle.

"They shouldn't be too hard to find. The only one you may have trouble with is that Frey. You can't miss him when you see him, but he's rather reclusive.

Same offer for you as your green friend. 30 gold for one room from now until this time tomorrow."

The Back Alley Party

Throlar interupts Althior mid-thought. "You don't want to try talking to this creature? That was your only lead here, anyways," he points to the dog.

The dog yips as Althior points at him.

"Arf arf, yip! <Are you my master?>"

[Asphalt]

Vindsval listens to the barkeep, his brows raise at the price. But, when you are the only game in town...

Though your price seems somewhat steep, you have me at the proverbial crossroads. What say you Sorrow? Shall we rest our heals here this night and find our compatriots in the morn?

QM Note: You only need to rest for one section of a day, but if you'd like to meet up with Tholar and Althior again, you'd need to rest for three sections, and then head in the same direction they're going.

[Asphalt]

OOC: ok thanks, once Sorrow replies I will probably rest for one section then we can go about trying to find the men who owe him money.

Vindsval Continues to sip his mead while listening to the music and murmurs of the Saloon. He lays the bifrost Blades on the Bar top, and Casts Poison on them until successful.

The dog yips as Althior points at him.

"Arf arf, yip! <Are you my master?>"

Throlar looks at the dog in surprise. "Where the hell did he come from?"

He looked at the dog for a bewildered minute before answering his question. <No I am not your master, and neither is he. Who are you?>

[Endgame]

"Let's sleep until we can meet up with the rest of our crew, Vindsval."

I slide 30 gold across the counter.

[Asphalt]

?Spending three quarters of the day in bed, might be a bit extravagant my friend. I say we sleep deeply for a short period, and then work our way through the list of debtors you have been given."

Vindsval also hands Stein 30 gold for the use of a room.

[Endgame]

"Fair enough, one section of the day it is.

These old bones sometimes crave more rest than they need, Vindsval..."

[Kintobor]

The East Gates Party

Vindsval Continues to sip his mead while listening to the music and murmurs of the Saloon. He lays the bifrost Blades on the Bar top, and Casts Poison on them until successful.

"I do hope you realize I serve food on this bar top." Stine replies to Vindsval, looking concerned and angered. "If you're poisoning your blades, do it outside. I've got enough riffraff to contend with without having someone cough up a lung."

"Let's sleep until we can meet up with the rest of our crew, Vindsval."

I slide 30 gold across the counter.

?Spending three quarters of the day in bed, might be a bit extravagant my friend. I say we sleep deeply for a short period, and then work our way through the list of debtors you have been given."

Vindsval also hands Stein 30 gold for the use of a room.

Stine takes the duo's money and hands both of them their own spindly, gold keys from his coat pocket.

"Have a pleasant stay, sirs."

Throlar looks at the dog in surprise. "Where the hell did he come from?"

He looked at the dog for a bewildered minute before answering his question. <No I am not your master, and neither is he. Who are you?>

"Ruff! Arf arf yip! <I've been here the whole time! Get some glasses, you furry midget! I go by many names, but Snuggly Wuggly, Puppy, and Bearie seem to be the ones I get the most. If you're not my master, do you know where they are?>"

Vindsval takes his key from the Proprietor.

And which way to our rooms?

"It'd help if you told us who your master is, or at least what they look like."

"Yip yip! <Kind of like you're furry companion, except paler, and not as heavily armed. They also smell different... although... maybe you're my master in disguise!>" The dog looks excited as it wags it's tail.

[Asphalt]

The Witch gathers up his belongings from the bar top and moves off in the direction indicated.

Sorrow, shall we agree to sleep for one Portion of the Cycle, and then leave to find the debtors?

​When he arrives at the doors he attempts each until he finds a door that can be opened with the key he was given. He pokes his head through the door and looks over the room before entering.

[Endgame]

I nod in agreement that we would sleep for one cycle, and retire to my room...

<Don't be stupid, How could your master change his basic scent? Unless he had an unholy amount of garlic. And I think everybody would notice that>

Throlar stooped and picked up the Tarot card, examining it throughly.

<Tell me, what is your master's name?>

​When he arrives at the doors he attempts each until he finds a door that can be opened with the key he was given. He pokes his head through the door and looks over the room before entering.

Eventually Vindsval finds his room. Looking inside, the room is lacking any windows, although a clock rests on the wall, showing the position of the sun and the moon. The bed looks comfortable, and a table and stool have been provided. It's a little cramped, but eventually Vindsval manages to drift into dreamland...

I nod in agreement that we would sleep for one cycle, and retire to my room...

Sorrow enters his room and prepares to go to sleep. He slips into the soft sheets and falls asleep...

Update coming soon!

<Don't be stupid, How could your master change his basic scent? Unless he had an unholy amount of garlic. And I think everybody would notice that>

Throlar stooped and picked up the Tarot card, examining it throughly.

<Tell me, what is your master's name?>

"Arf arf! Rarf! <Oh no, garlic's forbidden in town. A big no no. And you smell less like garlic and more like earth. It reminds me of hole digging time!>"

Picking up the card, Throlar realizes it's not a tarot card at all.

"Ruff, ruff yip! <Ooooh, that's a big numbered card! I've seen my master play that game enough to know that it's a rather rare card! Although, why would someone carelessly drop it? You creatures are strange sometimes.>

Woofwoofwoofwoofwoofwoofwoofarfwoofwoof!- <Oh, oh! It's, um, oh, um, it's, oh gosh, um, um, it's, oh it's on the tip of my tongue, oh->" The dog continues in this manner. It seems to have forgotten.

OOC: I was going to have Vindsval cast Poison on his blades before going to sleep. will you allow it?

[Kintobor]

QM Note: I'll roll for it during the next update.

OOC: Thanks, always better to take a chance at depleting your ether before restoring it.

<Earth? Well that's not really surprising, after all I haven't had a bath in ages, or any sleep, or food, or changed my clothes...>

<Hmm... maybe the card has something to to with the missing vendy-machine-thing? We can look into it later anyhow.> he said as he pocketed the card.

<Look, why don't you follow us around for a bit? That way if we run across your master well be able to hand you over at once.>

The East Gate Party

Waking up abruptly, Vindsval quickly poisons his daggers (Roll of 4, Failure! Roll of 2, Success! -5 ether) and falls back asleep.

When the duo wake up again, they find that they've slept until the afternoon, the sun beginning to dip beyond the horizon. Stine remains at his place behind the bar, but a familiar figure seems to have entered the establishment. They both feel much more well rested.

"Hey ho, mister necromancer and mister stabby stab! How's it going?"

"I hope you enjoy your stay, gentleman." Stine pulls out a tray from underneath the counter. "Can I offer you a complimentary chocolate?"
