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

[Kintobor]

"I gave you fair warning, Amber. And I do believe Silvia was the one who turned Lyudmilla against us, so... You'll have to excuse my lack of sympathy.

Well, as you've probably deduced, we're not huge fans of you committing a mass murder. I think you're ill, Amber. You're not putting the pieces together. You don't understand what you're doing is wrong. And you don't understand we're here to make things right.

Gentlemen? I think we might have similar ideas right now?"

"Oh, here we go again with the mass murder bit." Amber rolls her eyes and crossly straightens herself in her seat. "Eubric is in shambles. It's going to topple over at any minute. I'm going there to fix it. I'm not going there to blow it up, or unleash a swath of demons, or erect my own house to enter a feeble and ultimately childish power gambit. I'm going to Eubric Freeport to ensure that once everyone is undead that there will be no reason for there to be an issue of particular races being shunned upon. The original undead will be able to freely mingle. As a Heroican, you seem to be unaware of the issue surrounding the undead. We're second class citizens. We're considered husks, devoid of life. Helvetia has shown me that I can create a utopia so long as her cold embrace touches every citizen of Eubric. Even my father."

Vindsval speaks softly to Sorrow and the others.

"I believe she has gone quite mad in her search for absolute power. We cannot allow her to complete this ritual."

He then addresses Amber

You must know that I, we, cannot allow you to destroy or even alter an entire city to suit your own designs. Is there no way we can convince you to take another pat?"

"What say you Miss Makepeace, will our Paths continue? Or will one or more of them end here, in this dank hole?"

"The Wanderer has deceived you, Vindy. There is only one path, and that path is to Eubric becoming a necropolis. As a greenskin, has the city not prosecuted you? Do you not feel that the city, one founded on orc slavery, needs referendum?"

Amber grins hollowly.

"I intend to see this through to the end, Vindsval. Silivia would've wanted it. These residents here had a chance to see something better, and you four blew it for them."

"Oh please, Sillvia chose to fight us, it's not like we stabbed her in the back with a poisoned dagger while she was sleeping or anything like that, I admit that having her here as a mindless undead isn't exactly nice, but Sorrow doesn't really have any control over who he raises, it's completely random. And you're a fine one to talk anyway, what about you possessing the countess? Or going farther back, how about the paladins you raised as mindless undead? Admittedly most of them were probably racist bastards in life, but I doubt they deserved mindless slavery. Or these other ghouls here?" he pointed at the rotting undead, "These were yours a while ago, and they were just as empty then as they are now! These were people Amber, and you or Sillvia just turned them into this... this parody of life, no, sorry, this parody of undeath. If you're going to try to guilt trip us at least have the decency to not be a hypocrite about it!"

"I think you're forgetting something about my undead and Silvia's corpse. The paladins I raised had been dead for over two hundred years. The ghouls I raised were double that age. The putrid zombies were found in some stinky old bog outside of town and brought in under the veil of night. They've been forgotten about. They've been left to rot, their brains turned to goo. You don't understand decomposition, do you?

Silvia made her intent clear when she ran. Do heroes kill people who flee, Throlar? Do they?" Amber slammed her fist on the table, glaring at Throlar. "I don't think they do."

"Let me get this straight, you are planning to use a spell that has the potential to backfire explosively to turn one of the most chaotic, disorganized, badly run, corrupt, and economically powerful cities in the entire world, a city that is, I may add, currently led by six houses and a crime ring who are all fighting each other like cats and dogs over utterly pointless feuds, is at the center of all trade on the Crystalline Sea, is the center of operations for the paladin order, and has over a fifth of it's population walled off from the rest of the city, into a necropolis? And you also believe that this will not only somehow solve all of the city's problems, but that (presumably) you will become the leader of this new necropolis and that everything will end with that?"

"Okay, now you're making assumptions. I won't become the ruler of the city. I have no standing within the Church of Helvetia, but I do have many individuals within various churches who agree with my sentiment. They will among themselves decide who will rule the new Eubric. Eubric isn't being chosen for any old reason. It's centralized. It already has a population of undead. It has a way to amplify the spell. Granted, the spell could explode, but why do you think we're not rushing this? Every precaution is being made to ensure the spell works properly. You've seen it in action Throlar. It resurrected that dragon. Would've been a wonderful thing to have around, but of course you had to go and destroy it..."

"Ehehehe. Eheheheeheeheeheehahahahaha-"

He took a deep breath, seeming to calm for a second, before flinging his head back and shouting at the top of his voice;

"AMBER MAKEPEACE IS AN IMBECILE!"

He took another shuddering breath, before lowering his head again.

"Look, even if you manage to pull off the whole 'turn the city into a necropolis' thing how do you think everyone will react to it? You said yourself that there's a chance of some of them going insane, and the one who don't aren't likely to take too kindly to being turned into undead, the aforementioned paladin order especially. And what on earth makes you think that poverty or racism will just vanish? To paraphrase my good enemy Eric 'an undead orc is still an orc'. Undeath isn't some great unifying factor.

And what about everyone else? How do you think the other nations of the world will react? Do you think they'll look at Eubric and say 'oh look, everybody there has been turned into undead by some crazy necromancer, cool! Let's act as if nothing has really changed at all and treat them as people and equals!' because they won't you know. Nor will they see you as some friendly advocate for undead equality. They'll see another necromancer with dreams of of world conquest, and to be honest, I've met you in person and I wouldn't be surprised if you were planning to take over the world. They will see the center of trade of half the world attacked, to the nations of the Crystalline Sea, no, the entire world, this will be no less than an act of war. Think of it, every kingdom and empire and principality and dukedom in Olegaia, coming for you. There is no way in hell you could stand against them.

And once they're finished with you they'll suddenly realize that Eubric is now pretty much up for grabs and start fighting each other for it. After all, who wouldn't want Eubric? It's so placed that anyone who holds it pretty much controls all trade in the Crystaline Sea. And once all that's over, what will be the net result? Undead will be even more despised than they are now, the Free Islands will be a wartorn wreck, and no matter who comes out on top the balance of power will be irrevocably shattered."

"By the by, whose head is that on the table?"

Amber yawns, looking uninterested in Throlar's points. She gives him a thumbs up after he's finished speaking.

"Gotcha. All excellent points. Bravo. Ten out of ten.

I think big, Throlar, but I don't like to push myself. I'm creating a place so that the undead of the world have a haven to go to, a light in the storm. I'm also going to completely ensure that Eubric doesn't tumble in on itself by uniting its population with a commonality: undeath." Amber looks to the severed head on the table, pulling a large apple out of its mouth.

"Oh, her? This is Nazguile. I found her rotting corpse on the road here in Babeleth." Amber picks up the head and turns it to see Throlar, holding it by the hair.

"You? I've... seen you before..."

"I found her on the side of the Blood Brick Road, her corpse rotting away. I managed to salvage her head, and I've been wanting to find her a body to transfuse her head onto. Kind of hard to, though, you know?"

[Asphalt]

"The Wanderer has deceived you, Vindy. There is only one path, and that path is to Eubric becoming a necropolis. As a greenskin, has the city not prosecuted you? Do you not feel that the city, one founded on orc slavery, needs referendum?"

Amber grins hollowly.

"I intend to see this through to the end, Vindsval. Silivia would've wanted it. These residents here had a chance to see something better, and you four blew it for them."

"You are corrupted by your own vision. You have zeal and dedication to what you feel is the correct path, but the correct path for who? I have known persecution Amber. I was driven from my mother's home for her daring to bare me. I have fled countless hamlets with the cries of "MONSTER" ringing in my ears. I have been stoned, beaten and driven forth from every place I tried to lay my head. Before the hall the only place I found respite was on the Path. You say the city was founded on slavery? This indeed was the case, but is it that way still? Not all are equal within its walls, but I have seen human breaking bread with orc and goblin alike. Ogre's walk the streets openly in the city guard. I have heard rumor that there have even been Greenskins given entrance to the very halls of the Paladins themselves.

Vindsval seems introspective a moment at his mentioning of the Paladin Order. He looks at his newly returned left arm, his shield arm, and opens and closes it's fist.

Perhaps there is room for another. . . He trails off for a moment, but quickly returns to Amber.

Eubric accepted me, I am called the Half-Born, but it's people do not call me Monster. Because of the doors of Heroica, I have been given the opportunity to find not only respect, but love and admiration. I lost am arm saving the city once before. I gave it gladly to protect the lives of those within it from a death of disease and rot. Do not think that I will allow you to force this path upon those who live there. This unlife you and the others here lead may suit you, but I will not allow you make that choice for others. You will not keep the children of the city from knowing what it means to become an adult. You will not deprive the parents of those children the joy of seeing their sons become men, and their daughters women. If I were alone in the road before you I would stand firm in your path. But I do not.

Vindsval draws his blades.

What say you gentlemen? Shall we end this madness? Or do we allow the city to fall to this creature of distraction and misguided ambitions,?

[Endgame]

"So you concede that both Eubric and Fellcreste are in shambles... But wish to move Eubric there anyway?

Tell me. Ambefr. How long have you been undead? Perhaps a decade? Perhaps more, less? I want you to ry and guess how long I have walked this Earth as a husk."

[Duvors]

"I think you're forgetting something about my undead and Silvia's corpse. The paladins I raised had been dead for over two hundred years. The ghouls I raised were double that age. The putrid zombies were found in some stinky old bog outside of town and brought in under the veil of night. They've been forgotten about. They've been left to rot, their brains turned to goo. You don't understand decomposition, do you?"

"I've seen undead that appear to think perfectly well without brains, I don't think decomposition has any real bering on the matter."

"Silvia made her intent clear when she ran. Do heroes kill people who flee, Throlar? Do they?" Amber slammed her fist on the table, glaring at Throlar. "I don't think they do."

Throlar sighed and looked at the ground, seeming to collapse inwards and downwards.

"No, no they don't. Nor do they pick fights with people they've just met, see this sword?" he said, holding up his Elven Longsword, "I killed is former owner in a pointless brawl that I started. Nor do heroes don't kill people they would want as friends, and yet Orokai is dead. Heroes don't fail to save the day, but I failed to stop my own companions," he glared at Althior, "from destroying the Tower of Babel because of my own hubris and pride and my stupid temper. Heroes don't let people die on their watch, but I have. And every one of these things haunts me constantly and I hate myself for them. I am not a hero, I am no champion, no savior. I have tried to be, but like everything else I have tried I have failed, utterly. In the end I'm just someone playing a silly game of make-belive with himself. You want character flaws? Well look at Me! Arrogance, pride, prejudice, hubris, self-absorbsion, maybe even a slight dose of vanity. A complete inability to control my own temper? Check. No tolerance for any point of view that in any way conflicts with my own? Check. Constantly wallowing in self-pity and self-depeciation while refusing to actually do anything to change any of the faults that cause me to feel like that? Check. In short, I know every single one of my flaws better than you ever will. So don't try to break me with words. That just makes me angry, and I am not a nice person when I'm angry. Got that?" he didn't look angry, just sad, very very sad.

"Okay, now you're making assumptions. I won't become the ruler of the city. I have no standing within the Church of Helvetia, but I do have many individuals within various churches who agree with my sentiment. They will among themselves decide who will rule the new Eubric.

It resurrected that dragon. Would've been a wonderful thing to have around, but of course you had to go and destroy it..."

"Okay, fine, so you won't take over. That doesn't really change anything Amber, people are still people even when they're dead. If everyone in the world was a human do you think they would untie peacefully in their common humanity? Actually maybe you do. That's the problem with you Amber. You're an optimistic idealist. You think that a perfect society can be achieved by rendering all people equal and the same. I think I read about something like that once. What was it? Community-isim? Well maybe it'll work. Who knows? But I don't think it will, nor do I think what you're doing, or trying to do anyway, is really right." he still seemed depressed by what he had said.

Amber yawns, looking uninterested in Throlar's points. She gives him a thumbs up after he's finished speaking.

"Gotcha. All excellent points. Bravo. Ten out of ten.

I think big, Throlar, but I don't like to push myself. I'm creating a place so that the undead of the world have a haven to go to, a light in the storm. I'm also going to completely ensure that Eubric doesn't tumble in on itself by uniting its population with a commonality: undeath."

"Fine, ignore me then, If you're going to be a fool don't let me stop you."

Amber looks to the severed head on the table, pulling a large apple out of its mouth.

"Oh, her? This is Nazguile. I found her rotting corpse on the road here in Babeleth." Amber picks up the head and turns it to see Throlar, holding it by the hair.

"You? I've... seen you before..."

"I found her on the side of the Blood Brick Road, her corpse rotting away. I managed to salvage her head, and I've been wanting to find her a body to transfuse her head onto. Kind of hard to, though, you know?"

Throlar looked up at Amber. He suddenly had a look of blank calm sitting on his face like a mask. In words that sounded carefully measured in a way that hinted at fury to great for it to be properly expressed he said;

"Put her down please."

[Asphalt]

(internal dialog) IT would seem this Amber continues to strike a chord with out dwarf. So much history here.

Who is, or rather, Who WAS that woman Throlar?

Is this some sort of Hostage you have taken Amber?

[Duvors]

Who is, or rather, Who WAS that woman Throlar?

Throlar failed to answer, merely continuing to stare at Amber.

[K-Nut]

Althior scowls. "Are we really trying to talk to this monster? We're not going to let her turn Eubric into a Necropolis, so I only see one course of action," He holds his scepter tightly.

[Kintobor]

"You are corrupted by your own vision. You have zeal and dedication to what you feel is the correct path, but the correct path for who? I have known persecution Amber. I was driven from my mother's home for her daring to bare me. I have fled countless hamlets with the cries of "MONSTER" ringing in my ears.

But I do not.

Vindsval draws his blades.

What say you gentlemen? Shall we end this madness? Or do we allow the city to fall to this creature of distraction and misguided ambitions,?

"Oh, goodie, looks like I'm not swaying you. Paladin scum." Amber shakes her head and wags her finger. "Naughty Vindy! I told you guys I'm not sticking around if you guys are going to draw your weapons."

"So you concede that both Eubric and Fellcreste are in shambles... But wish to move Eubric there anyway?

Tell me. Amber. How long have you been undead? Perhaps a decade? Perhaps more, less? I want you to ry and guess how long I have walked this Earth as a husk."

"...No. I want to move the residents of Fellcrest to Eubric. I think you're not thinking your words through, Sorrow.

Coming up to five years, now, give or take. We don't technically age, you and I and Althior, to an extent." Amber glares Sorrow over, taking him in. "You're a curious one, you know that. You've obviously seen a lot, and you continually hide your face... an enigma, so to speak. Why do you hide your face? To hide your identity? Or something else?

Damn, I wish my wraith wasn't healing itself in the shadows. Oh right, that's another reason I'm angry with you. Almost forgot about that."

"I've seen undead that appear to think perfectly well without brains, I don't think decomposition has any real bering on the matter."

"I've seen dwarves able to think without brains. Not perfectly well, mind you, but whatever. Probably weren't born with one." Amber grins smugly.

Throlar sighed and looked at the ground, seeming to collapse inwards and downwards.

"No, no they don't. Nor do they pick fights with people they've just met, see this sword?" he said, holding up his Elven Longsword, "I killed is former owner in a pointless brawl that I started. Nor do heroes don't kill people they would want as friends, and yet Orokai is dead.

Got that?" he didn't look angry, just sad, very very sad.

Amber says nothing but grins at Throlar, looking straight through him. There's a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Okay, fine, so you won't take over. That doesn't really change anything Amber, people are still people even when they're dead. If everyone in the world was a human do you think they would untie peacefully in their common humanity? Actually maybe you do. That's the problem with you Amber. You're an optimistic idealist.

Who knows? But I don't think it will, nor do I think what you're doing, or trying to do anyway, is really right." he still seemed depressed by what he had said.

"The more you speak, the more I agree with myself in everything I've said. I'm surprised I haven't convinced you to join me."

"Put her down please."

Amber nonchalantly places her back on the table. Raising her hands into the air.

"Fine by me, Throlar. I'd say we're all friends here, but frankly, it's a sin to tell a lie."

Althior scowls. "Are we really trying to talk to this monster? We're not going to let her turn Eubric into a Necropolis, so I only see one course of action," He holds his scepter tightly.

Amber calmly glares at Althior, a fury growing about her. She speaks to him with paced breaths.

"I. Am not. A monster, Althior." Amber clutches her head and yells violently towards the tunnel.

"Jarret!?"

At Amber's call a gruff and irritable looking undead emerges from the passage, holding a large sceptre. His large hat covers head and shadows his face, although an eyepatch is visible.

"You called?"

"Deal with this problem. Now!"

"Of course." Jarret bows and walks out.

"I have nothing more to say to you four." Amber produces a smoke bomb from her vestments. "I'm sure though, with you being heroes, you have something to say to me?"

[Duvors]

"No Amber, I don't have anything to say to you, talking to you is like talking to a broken vibrataphone, you just say the same thing over and over again and don't listen to what's said to you."

Throlar surreptitiously readied his Feather of Flight, ready to pursue Amber as soon as she fled.

[Asphalt]

Miss Makepeace, Do not mock me, I am no Paladin much as it would bring me joy to be known as defender, but I am afraid I must insist that you stay. Throlar you have the greatest mobility in this damnable warren. Cut off her exit.

Vindsval advances towards the new Adversary

I am Vindsval, called the Half Born, and it would seem you have chosen poorly in your decision to aid that woman. Turn from this path and you may leave in peace. If you stay, I am afraid we will be forced to destroy you to end her mad scheme.

[Endgame]

"I trust you to track down that witch, Throlar."

I draw my weapon.

"I wonder what you, Jarret, or whatever Jarret is fetching is capable of dealing with? Shall I find out?"

[Duvors]

"I trust you to track down that witch, Throlar."

"Maybe now isn't a good time to say this but I don't really have much experience in tracking things down."

[Asphalt]

"Then do not allow her to leave the room."

[Duvors]

"Then do not allow her to leave the room."

"That might be a problem."

[Asphalt]

"Then I suggest you try your hardest to make it happen. You have run into this woman twice already, do you wish to try for a third?"

Vindsval growls slightly as this standoff drags on.

"What say you minion, do you leave us, or do we end you?"

[Kintobor]

"No Amber, I don't have anything to say to you, talking to you is like talking to a broken vibrataphone, you just say the same thing over and over again and don't listen to what's said to you."

Throlar surreptitiously readied his Feather of Flight, ready to pursue Amber as soon as she fled.

"I'd enjoy nothing more than to corner you Throlar and watch you squirm like a mouse."

Miss Makepeace, Do not mock me, I am no Paladin much as it would bring me joy to be known as defender, but I am afraid I must insist that you stay. Throlar you have the greatest mobility in this damnable warren. Cut off her exit.

Vindsval advances towards the new Adversary

I am Vindsval, called the Half Born, and it would seem you have chosen poorly in your decision to aid that woman. Turn from this path and you may leave in peace. If you stay, I am afraid we will be forced to destroy you to end her mad scheme.

"You don't make a very convincing argument. Stay here and do what? Get cut down by you? Silivia ran and got cut down. I intend to run and make sure you have no means of following me."

Jarret was out of earshot, but the party can hear a loud ruckus coming from out of eyeshot. A loud and reoccurring thumping noise soon echoes out of the passageway.

"I trust you to track down that witch, Throlar."

"If that's how you want to proceed, Sorrow, then let us begin." Amber drops her smoke bomb, it's vaporous cloud engulfing the room. As the smoke recedes, a layer of dust billows out of the passageway. Amber is gone. A heckling voice can be heard from within, clearly Jarret.

"Why are you so big? Why couldn't you be two feet smaller!" A large, hulking green humanoid ruptures through the passageway, collapsing pillars and sending debris flying everywhere.

"GRAAAH!! PUNY WORMS!!!" He slams his enormous great sword on the ground, glaring at the party. The green-skinned behemoth glares at the party, locking eyes with Throlar. He says nothing but screams in rage. Jarret and a fenerian woman, her skin beginning to look rotten and decay, follows.

"Detreahd, do your duty to your mistress and ensure her escape."

"Of course, sir." The Fenarian's voice is hollow and monotonous. She unsheathes her longsword and readies her stance. Jarret turns back to the party, aiming his sceptre at them.

"These two were another pair of unfortunate souls who lost their lives on the Blood Brick Road. The duo now serve our beloved Frost Heart. Miss Makepeace found them on the road along with Nazguile and managed to revive them. It doesn't hurt that a bit of emotion enhancing drugs have been added to their system to ensure their compliance. " Jarret smiles a toothy grin, his lips smearing across his face in cheer. Jarret bellows a hearty laugh, raising his hands on high, looking exceedingly joyful.

"I am ready to die for my cause and be remembered as a martyr in the hallowed tomes of history! Embrace me, Helvetia! I am coming to your cold embrace!"

[Asphalt]

Throlar, if you are going to take her, go now, or you may never have another chance. I will begin by dealing with this brute.

Vindsval attempts to make eye contact with the Armored Greenskin.

Is your mind still your own brother? No? Then allow me to release you. The Wanderer shall be pleased when I offer your head to him in tribute.

Attack 1

Strike one

Vindsval attacks Orokai with the Brifrost Blades, from the Back Row (55 X2(mead) X2(vs undead) /2(back row) =110)

Strike 2

Vindsval attacks Orokai with the Brifrost Blades, from the Back Row (55 X2(mead) X2(vs undead) /2(back row) =110)

Attack 2

Strike 1

Vindsval attacks Orokai with the Brifrost Blades, from the Back Row (55 X2(mead) X2(vs undead) /2(back row) =110)

Strike 2

Vindsval attacks Orokai with the Brifrost Blades, from the Back Row (55 X2(mead) X2(vs undead) /2(back row) =110)

[Endgame]

"So you know you're being sent to die...? Hmph. I can deliver.

Althior! You also have a score to settle. Why don't you keep Amber company; Vindsval and I can handle these clowns while you track your prey."

[K-Nut]

I equipped my Lieutenant's Helm in place of my Tin Helmet a few pages ago.

"Don't have to tell me twice," Althior attempts to flee the battle, using his feather of flight if he needs to.

[Asphalt]

"Make your escape good Dwarf. You and Althior, be sure to give the maniac our regards."

[Duvors]

(Throlar retrieved his had axe after the last time he used it, so it should still be in his inventory, also he should be at 31 health and blessed due to the soma and potion he took earlier, I believe I mentioned that before.)

Throlar simply stood aghast at what he saw before him, he seemed in shock. This, to him, simply could not be. After a few seconds his features hardened, becoming as cold and expressionless as stone.

"Make your escape good Dwarf. You and Althior, be sure to give the maniac our regards."

"Very well." said Throlar, "You two, I know I don't have any authority to ask this, but I would take it as a favor if you do not touch those two or their equipment until I return. Do what you want to Jarret. In fact, turn him into paste."

Throlar uses his Feather of Flight.

[Asphalt]

Vindsval looks at the dwarf curiously, trying to decide if it is sentiment, or greed that causes him to demand they stay their hand against these new enemies.

Perhaps if you are quick all those who stand before you will stand still upon your return. But I swear no Oath Throlar. NOW RUN.

[Endgame]

"If they are in a position to hurt me, you better believe I am hurting them back."

"Now, bottoms up, big guy."

I use a Phoenix essence on Orokai from the back. My undead all swarm Jarret.

Sorrow

[Kintobor]

Round 1 of the Underground Library Scuffle

Throlar uses Feather of Flight

Althior uses Feather of Flight

>Sorrow tosses a Phoenix Essence on Orokai (KO!... I probably should've seen this coming...)

>Vindsval vs. Dethraed- Special Damage (31 gold stolen from Sorrow! 29 Gold stolen from Vindsval!)

>Vindsval vs. Dethraed- Damage (40/2-4=16 damage)

Undead swarm Jarret (148x2=296 damage)

>Jarret vs. Sorrow (45/2-8=14 damage KO!)

The battle begins as Althior and Throlar rush out of the room, following amber, just the distraction needed for Sorrow to toss a Phoenix Essence on Orokai. He shrieks in pain, contorting his arms and legs as he spirals in pain. The lumbering green skinned giant drops to floor, dead as a door nail. Vindsval isn't as lucky, as Dethraed pounces on him, swiftly slicing his arm multiple times. Sorrow and Vindsval feel their purses lighten as the undead assassin runs off. Sorrow's undead swarm Jarret, but not before the priest cultist manages to strike Sorrow across the head, knocking him out cold and dispelling his undead. The battle continues!

"I am coming, Frostheart! Give me strength to vanquish these heathens!"

Althior and Throlar rush through the underground tunnel, passing various emptied rooms and looted crates. Making it up a flight of stairs, the duo make it to the top in time to see Amber shoving Nazgulie's head into a satchel. They were outside Fellcrest, the city walls far behind them. The flat, dusty, barren land surrounding Fellcrest seemed to spread out like a cyst. The duo could see the decrepit and twisted ruins of Transmogria behind Amber, as well as Vega's twinkling lights. The sun begins to glare into their eyes. Accompanying her is half a dozen cultists, who surround Amber. Amber frowns at the duo.

"Really? You followed me all the way up here? You two really are determined.

What do you want?" Amber's accompaniment draw their weapons. "Let's keep this short. You want me dead. I don't really want any part of that. Yadda, yadda. I'm leaving here, and there's not really a whole lot that I can say to persuade you to just let me do so, is there?"
