Heroica RPG- Quest#21: Family History

[Zepher]

OoC: If I get a shield/critical hit/hit, you can just roll the next round!

Boomingham swats at Barty. "Step aside, kiddo." Boomingham continues his attack.

[Xarrzan]

"...I have killed dragons. Nagas like your friend over there..."

Sarick paushes his usual swaying before saying, "Bragging about killing hatchlingsss is demeaning to yourself. I doubt a full grown Naga, let alone dragon, would fall to your weak magic. Lord Boomingham, finish her quickly."

[Chromeknight]

The battle had been an exhausting one, he had been knocked out and didn't land a single hit.

He goes up to talk to Nerwen.

"Sorry, let me introduce myself. I am Amorith Marvelo a mage from Waldurk forrest. I lived there through the Orcish wars and for hundreds of years after but recently I saw Galadrya and Celebryon in a dream and the asked me to leave and travel here. I did as they instructed and found Heroica.

What is your story?"

Saesa omentien lle. I understood your name from the quest list. But yes I am Nerwen Calmcacil. I lived to the north of Ennon and was only very young when the wars ended and the orcs fled toward our homes. My father hunted them, but as I came of age, the elders realized that the orcs had been under the sway of some dark power. A power which had turned on them and was now hunting them. In my nineteenth decade I worked in an orcish refugee camp, tending to the elderly and preserving as much of their lore as could be salvaged. A whole generation of orcs was lost to the dark madness, it was terrible to see. Afterwards I returned home and fulfilled the duties of a Liramaerae and Taur'ohtar, but it was as a amandil, a cleric that I found peace and a connection to Galadrya. Hearing of the need for clerics in Eubric and feeling this was where my path led, I came to join.

With a puff of pink a letter materializes out of nowhere and drops in Nerwen's lap. She reads it and is intrigued. Writing a reply she turns to Amorith and asks

Do you know a hero named Leo Aragorn?

[legobodgers]

"No, I haven't heard of him. Why?"

[Zepher]

Boomingham charges at Crozen once more... but suddenly he feels himself slowing down.... slowly, slowly, and the black and white past is slowly getting more muddled. Crozen seems shocked as well, staring at her foe. Boomingham looks wildly around, and sees that his party mates are doing likewise. Marvelo starts to stumble around, his hands out, looking for the others. The Naga hisses wildly, and then is gone, sucked out of existence, it would seem. Boomingham does not have time to react before he too feels as if all the air is being sucked out of his stomach, and his legs and arms feel as if they're being ripped cleanly from their sockets. His vision totally fades to gray as his eyes close and his remaining breathe shot out of him....

"...unreliable, time travel. I was so certain we had it down this time..."

"...well at least no one was left behind... that's how we lost Granger... poor soul..."

"...yes... yes... poor soul... well, it looks like the heroes are up..."

The party slowly gets to their feet.

"Hello heroes, sorry about that! Time travel is tricky stuff, but at least none of you got left behind, am I right? Hahahaha. Well, as you can tell we need to... refine our spell a little. Really thought we had it this time, too. Oh well, you're dismissed for the time being. We'll send for you when we need you again... though of course, this time Crozen will know you're coming... unless we land directly where you left off... or before then, and totally changed your first entrance... oh well, good bye heroes!"

"What about that assassin? What happened with that?!"

"She knows," the wizard says, indicating Nyx. "Let her fill you in, I'm very busy. I've got a whole spell to rework."

"Bloody wizards," mumbles Boomingham as he leaves.

The heroes huffily return to the Hall. The wizards will send for them if (or when) they ever figure out the spell.

Quest Paused/Cancelled, To be continued whenever the lovely and talented Sisco deems it the right time!
