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

[Endgame]

I place a Grand Potion next to Frey.

"Drink something healthy for a change. It'll stop the bruising, too."

I head to Stine's bar and lay the tab on the table, nodding to Vindsval.

"There's the last of your money. Now, tell us about Amber Makepeace."

I place a Grand Potion next to Frey.

"Drink something healthy for a change. It'll stop the bruising, too."

I head to Stine's bar and lay the tab on the table, nodding to Vindsval.

"There's the last of your money. Now, tell us about Amber Makepeace."

QM Note: Actually, you would arrive at the bar by morning, so Vindsval's either moved on, or has stuck around. We've reached that point where wibbly wobbly timey wimey is being tracked, and it's getting harder to do so. *flies away in TARDIS*

Unless Vindsval stays in that area until morning to meet up with you, which is up to him.

[Endgame]

Fair enough. I'm surprised we didn;t hit this roadblock earlier in the quest.

[K-Nut]

Althior rubs his eyes. "I haven't heard anything yet, sorry. I've been around most of the city and haven't seen anything, so your bot must be cleverly hiding,"

[Asphalt]

Vindsval ducks out of the Saloon, and looks about the courtyard. He draws his arm across his chest, and leans against what he hopes is a sturdy section of the wall.

It would be wise to converge our party's paths. Perhaps if I WAIT HERE, Sorrow and the others may return.

"I'll just leave you to talk to these people Althior." said Throlar before sriding over to the blacksmith's stall.

"Hello there Glasha," he said, raising his hand in greeting, "Nice to see you again. Hope you're doing well." He looked towards the blacksmith.

"Well my friend, are you feeling more companionable now?"

[Kintobor]

Vindsval at the East Gates

Vindsval ducks out of the Saloon, and looks about the courtyard. He draws his arm across his chest, and leans against what he hopes is a sturdy section of the wall.

It would be wise to converge our party's paths. Perhaps if I WAIT HERE, Sorrow and the others may return.

Vindsval waits around, noticing people coming and going. The two young adults wake up and begin to check their things, and it seems like both men inch about, still talking. As morning arrives, Vindsval notices Sorrow wave to him and follows him into the Creaky Coffin.

The Residential District

I place a Grand Potion next to Frey.

"Drink something healthy for a change. It'll stop the bruising, too."

I head to Stine's bar and lay the tab on the table, nodding to Vindsval.

"There's the last of your money. Now, tell us about Amber Makepeace."

Sorrow places the money next to Frey, who still seems less than thrilled. His kicking and flailing on the ground as he moans in pain topple the bottle over. Sorrow makes his way to the East Gates as the sun rises over the town.

Arriving at the Creaky Coffin, he's met by Vindsval, and the two enter the bar together. Sorrow places the money on the counter as Stine grins eagerly.

"Ah, wonderful. That most certainly is a weight off my chest. Thank you gentlemen. As promised, I'll give you a 25% discount on drinks for as long as you're in town. Now, about this Amber Makepeace..." Stine looks around the bar and leans in closer.

"I've heard of her. Seen her in this very bar. What is it you want to know?"

The Manor Gates Party

Althior rubs his eyes. "I haven't heard anything yet, sorry. I've been around most of the city and haven't seen anything, so your bot must be cleverly hiding,"

Schmitt frowns.

"Hmm... well, that's a shame. Have you found any clues? He's malfunctioning, so did you see any gear parts or perhaps Decamon Cards that've been left about?"

"Schmitt, I'll take over from here." The woman says. She smiles at Althior, her stance seductive and playful. It seemed like she'd done this routine before. "Hello to you, sir!" She points at Althior, speaking through her microphone. "My name is Vanna Lotta, and I'm a spokesperson and referee for the Decamon Card Game, something I'm sure you're familiar with. I've heard you and Schmitt had a deal to bring back Captain, our little missing Decamon Vendor? See, I just so happen to have five packs of Decamon Cards on me, and each pack has a total of five cards. These are pretty pricy on the open market, but if you can bring him back to me I'll give you them for free! Sound like a deal?"

"I'll just leave you to talk to these people Althior." said Throlar before sriding over to the blacksmith's stall.

"Hello there Glasha," he said, raising his hand in greeting, "Nice to see you again. Hope you're doing well." He looked towards the blacksmith.

"Well my friend, are you feeling more companionable now?"

Glasha waves at Throlar while she does her browsing. As Throlar moves to the blacksmith he looks up from his work and moves to the kiosk table. The masked dwarf slams his hands on the table in good gesture at his latest customer.

"Oihay! Welcome to Olif's Smithy, fine dwarves craftsmanship! I personally use techniques brought from the old days, when smithing was considered an art! What can I do for you?"

Olif's Smithy

Weapon Upgrade: Olif will upgrade a weapon in your inventory, increasing it's WP by 1. This task will take a section of the day, but the weapon's WP can be upgraded as high as the costumer is willing to pay. Each upgrade costs the amount of WP the weapon has after the upgrade times ten, minus ten. For example, when a Sword (WP: 3) is upgraded to a Sword (WP: 4), it costs 30 gold. When an Axe (WP: 6) is upgraded to an Axe (WP: 7), it costs 60 gold. You can also upgrade the SP of shields this way.

Merge equipment with an elemental gem: You need a weapon and an elemental gem for this service. Merging the gem will give the weapon the elemental attribute of the used gem, but the gem itself will not be available to use anymore. A shield can be equipped with a gem as well, granting immunity to the respective element. This service costs 40 gold.

The merging can be undone to get the gem back, but it will cost another 40 gold. Multiple gems can be imbued into one weapon or shield, but they all need to be merged separately.

Selling Weapons: Olif will buy any weapons you no longer want for standard retail price (WPx5).

Weapons and Armour for Sale:

Crimson Helmet (SP: 1 Provides Immunity to Bleeding. Headgear) Costs 70 Gold *2 in stock

Fellcrest Longsword (WP: 9 Light elemental longsword) Costs 120 Gold *2 in stock

Fellcrest Hand Axe (WP: 8 throwing weapon. Deals bleeding 5 on successful hits) Costs 110 gold *2 in Stock

[Endgame]

"Do you know where she is?" I implore, a clenced fist on the bar.

[Asphalt]

Vindsval lays his hand on the bar, and attempts to contain his mounting frustration with this town and its obtuse citizens.

"As we told you before, we have been tasked with finding both Ms. Makepeace and your own Countess. If you knew of either of their whereabouts the information would be much appreciated."

[Kintobor]

"Do you know where she is?" I implore, a clenced fist on the bar.

Stine's mouth opens briefly then curls into a frown.

"No. What do I look like, a seer? She comes into town every two months or so, then departs again every two months or so. I've seen her walk through the gates, and stop at this bar. Wherever she is, she's staying there for the long haul."

Vindsval lays his hand on the bar, and attempts to contain his mounting frustration with this town and its obtuse citizens.

"As we told you before, we have been tasked with finding both Ms. Makepeace and your own Countess. If you knew of either of their whereabouts the information would be much appreciated."

"Again, I have no clue where Amber Makepeace is, only that she does come into town. The Countess though... I've heard a rumour running around that perhaps the Countess is somewhere in the city. No one is allowed to go into her mansion, and the guards seemingly don't know where she is, but they keep receiving letters and orders from her. Don't you find that odd? Of course, she disappeared after leaving for that Decamon tournament, so perhaps speaking to representative would be beneficial? I know there's one in the city."

[Duvors]

"Well, I think I'd like to buy a Fellcrest Hand Axe from you for starters."

[Endgame]

"Any clue of where the tournament or the rep is?

[K-Nut]

Althior raises an eyebrow inquisitively. "Sorry, haven't seen anything,"

[Asphalt]

Vindsval's fist clenches involuntarily, his nails carving furrows in the bar top, as the saloon keeper gives answers that answer nothing.

Master Stine, you lead us to believe you had information that would direct us on our path. We completed your task in good faith, yet you lead us nowhere.

[Kintobor]

The Manor Gates Party

"Well, I think I'd like to buy a Fellcrest Hand Axe from you for starters."

"Of course!" Olif grabs a Hand Axe off the rack, laying it on the table and taking Throlar's cash. "Pleasure doing business with you! Can I interest you in anything else?"

Althior raises an eyebrow inquisitively. "Sorry, haven't seen anything,"

Vanna groans. Her peppy demeanour seems to fall.

"Son of a- where did this stupid thing get to? Look, if you see him could drag it back here? I'm getting frustrated trying to find this stupid animatronic."

The East Gates Party

"Any clue of where the tournament or the rep is?

"Well, the tournament was held by the Emerald Emperor last Grogmas. He apparently invited a bunch of people to his casino and he also did some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff during it to keep it going. I don't know most about it, but Lyudmila made it to the tournament, and then she never returned to town.

As for the Decamon rep, right now she's probably at the Manor Gates with her mechanic friend. They've apparently got a missing automaton or something. I don't know, I don't keep up with this Decamon fad, to be honest."

Vindsval's fist clenches involuntarily, his nails carving furrows in the bar top, as the saloon keeper gives answers that answer nothing.

Master Stine, you lead us to believe you had information that would direct us on our path. We completed your task in good faith, yet you lead us nowhere.

Stine lowers his brow, seemingly unamused by Vindsval.

"I lead you on in no such matter. I merely said I'd loosen my lips on anything I'd heard from this saloon. Like how apparently someone in town is getting into Lyudmila's Manor."

"Would you know how they're doing it or who they are?"

[Duvors]

"Well, I think I'd like to buy a Fellcrest Hand Axe from you for starters."

(Ahem.)

[Kintobor]

(Ahem.)

It's in your inventory already.

[K-Nut]

It's in your inventory already.

I think the confusion stems from you putting that and the hunter's bow under Equipment instead of Weapons.

Althior sighs. "We'll try, ma'am,"

[Kintobor]

The East Gates Party

"Would you know how they're doing it or who they are?"

"All I've heard is that it's a figure with a black robe. There was one odd thing about it though. People claim that the person's shadow was off, as if something about it just wasn't right. I only heard they show up at night, and that the guards always let him past."

The Manor Gates

Althior sighs. "We'll try, ma'am,"

Vanna grins giddily.

"Thanks a lot there, friend! Can I get a name, by the way?" Vanna pulls a clip board out of her satchel.

[Endgame]

"Hmmm... Curioser and curioser...

Well, thank you. Vindsval, shall we go find Althior and Throlar?"

[Duvors]

"Of course!" Olif grabs a Hand Axe off the rack, laying it on the table and taking Throlar's cash. "Pleasure doing business with you! Can I interest you in anything else?"

"No thank you, not right now."

He started to go, then stopped suddenly.

"Hang on a tick, there is something, do you know who owns this dog?" he said, pointing to the animal in question.

[K-Nut]

"Thanks a lot there, friend! Can I get a name, by the way?" Vanna pulls a clip board out of her satchel.

"Just call me Finnegan," he yawns. It's probably best not to use his real name in these parts, he thought.

[Kintobor]

The Manor Gates Party

"No thank you, not right now."

He started to go, then stopped suddenly.

"Hang on a tick, there is something, do you know who owns this dog?" he said, pointing to the animal in question.

"Dog?" Olive looks behind the counter to look at the small canine wagging it's tail happily.

"Arf arf! <Yeah, where my master at, fool!>"

"He certainly is a yappy little thing. I haven't seen anyone around here with a dog. Not a lot of people need weapons though."

"Just call me Finnegan," he yawns. It's probably best not to use his real name in these parts, he thought.

Vanna coquettishly winks at "Finnegan".

"Alright then, Finny, I'll be seeing you around. Oh, and if you have any questions about Decamon, feel free to ask!" Vanna blows Althior a playful kiss and goes back to arguing with Schmitt.

"Hmmm... Curioser and curioser...

Well, thank you. Vindsval, shall we go find Althior and Throlar?"

Sorrow and Vindsval leave the Creaky Coffin in search of Althior and Throlar.

"Safe journey, sirs, hehehe..."

It takes them until noon, but eventually the duo reunite with their fellow heroes at the Manor Gates. They find their two companions looking exhausted and tired.

[Endgame]

"Althior, Throlar... Well, to be absolutely blunt, you guys look like shit.If you guys need to sleep, don't be afraid to.

You learn anything about what we need to do to find Amber, or rack up any more reputation for us?"
