Palathadric Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 "Really, it is not advisable to fight needlessly when the situation does not warrant it. May this be a lesson to you sell-swords." I head back up on deck. "So, a fishing line anybody? Captain, how many crew members do you have on this ship? And how many are the minimum required to sail it?" Quote

Tanma Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) IC: De'kra walks off to his song, moving to the other side of the ship. He completes the song, before pulling out the journel he got from Arthur. On it he enscribed: Greetings Nuparu, how goes your quest against Wren? I am currently sailing towards Dastan, to help the Rito with a dragon problem. It is so good to see them again, I wonder how Dastan might have changed since we last visited. From the sounds of it Dastan is dealing with the internal problems left from the war, so trade routes and borders are not as well protected. Hopefully we can help settle a few problems when we are here, or at the least not mess up.Hopefully you are not at some big climatic battle right now, in which case I apologize for interupting. But if not, be careful. Wren is not the kind of person to care about others. I have never met her so I can not speak for all, but she has sowed wars, weakened alliances, and influenced battles to devastate lands. Even if that was just for her goal, she definitely does not lack the capacity for cruelty and violence. And in at least a few quests she went out of her way to mock heroes, when it wasn't necessary. Even if she wanted to make them improve by recognizing their flaws, that still might show that she thinks she knows better than them. I know I don't know Wren, I didn't want to. I avoided her quests, I worried I was too vulnerable. I didn't have memories to draw on, even now I don't know my name. And sometimes my personality just shifts, I was worried I might be tricked again. So maybe I misjudge her, maybe if she succeeds in her quest she will then be apathetic to people and fly off to do her own thing, I don't know. But if she feels the need to go out of the way to mock relationships and tease questers, then I suspect she would not leave Eubric or Olegaia alone. But you know her better than I. Just...be careful. And apologies if any of this was worded wrong, I am in a really good place and I can't focus right now. The wind ripping about, my arms feel like wings across the sky. I feel like I could wind-fly. Finished, he began to play again, this time a different tune. OOC: I can't remember if he got the journel back, if not he kept playing, though his song shifted to this: Edit: Vakama's unibrow, listen I can't get the link to work, its the theme from Mask of Light and Legends of Metru-Nui. Edited March 13, 2013 by Tanma Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I heave a sigh of relief as the little devil stops his horrid squeaking on his "instrument." Finally, a time of rest... The noise starts up again. "When I say, 'Stop that racket!' I meant stop it permanently. Away with you, pest!" Quote
Tachyon Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 There is a flash of light behind Monk Pretzal and Mizuki appears behind him. Mizuki says to him "Thank you for lending me your magic viper skin, it really helped in the sparring session." and passes him a leather pouch filled with 100 gold coins.She then sits down and starts brewing some tea in a cup over a hot stone. OOC:Thanks Etzel for playing the last 2 days for me. Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "Many thanks, Mizuki! Profitable business down there, I would wager. Had I known there would be gold involved I may have joined you, but one must consider that it's best only to fight when the need really arises and one must not just look for fights wherever one can. May this be a warning to you. "Now, can you imagine? I asked for a fishing rod a couple hours ago...and still nothing...ah well, meditation is a sweet thing, if it weren't for the hissing whines of the little black devil there and his demonic 'instrument!'" Quote
Tanma Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 IC: De'kra briefly checks his journal for a reply, but seeing none his finishes the song. Sighing contently, his mood too distracted to be ruined, he moved to the front of the ship, and let his arms out wide. Nothing could ruin the mood, not even the nagging suspicion that there was something wrong. Not something horrible necessarily, just wrong. Quote

Captain Whales is spotting the horizon with his telescope. "We've just about reached Dastan, I can see the shoreline. But our journey doesn't stop here, we've got a ways ta go. Look here." Whales pulled out a scroll and spread it out on a table. It was a map of Dastan. "See, we're gonna bring her 'round the upper part of the Fang Coast here, and sail on this part of the Twin Tailed River, here. All the way to Lake Glaz, to the capital, Drakencourt. I've got business there and that's as far as I'll take you, but them Rito Settlements ain't far." Denerii flapped down from the Crow's Nest where she hovered, viewing the shoreline with her keen eyesight as well. "Yep, Flavius and I will lead you from there. Khand's Peak isn't an easy journey, but we'll get you there soon enough." So The Mercutio sailed for a few more days, until it reached the mouth of the river leading to Lake Glaz, where it's goods and passengers were transferred to a smaller boat that could fit on the river. They drifted down, into the lake, and to Drakencourt, where Whales and the part of his crew that did not stay with The Mercutio departed. It was not much longer before the heroes and Denerii found themselves on land, at last. They made their way on foot (and sometimes wings when Denerii forgot the others couldn't fly) to the Rito Settlements, high in the mountains. Flavius waited for them outside a small village of huts. "Heroes! At last. And my love!" The two Rito embraced briefly. "I am Flavius. I recognize you, little one, but the rest of you are strangers to me. As you know already, our beloved dragon friend Retraga has woken up with some sort of sickness recently. She's been staying in her cave for now, and that's caused enough trouble as it is, but if she got out... the results of her anger and rage would be catastrophic. What I'm sure Denerii didn't tell you, as this has been a recent discovery, is that Retraga is infected with some sort of disease. Our shamans have determined that this is not some common cold, and a creature of some kind has latched onto Retraga. It's what's making her sick. We've tried to deal with it ourselves while the dragon sleeps, but our efforts have been fruitless so far. And we can't even get near her when she's awake. So we leave this to you heroes. We have no doubts that you are able, and obviously willing. So, before we head out to Khand's Peak, are there any questions that Denerii has not already answered?" Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "Pleased to meet you, Flavius! I am Monk Pretzel. I was just wondering what beings, apart from yourselves, inhabit these mountain regions? Can we expect trouble? I heard yetis, as they are called, are making a comeback in many parts of the world and have even been sighted in Eubric, but I'm not sure how far their wanderings have taken them." Quote
Etzel Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "Greetings Flavius of the Rito Clan! I'm Maurice Ratibor, appointed leader of this party. You said that your efforts to cure the dragon had been fruitless, what did you try to do? I'm afraid I don't know much about dragons and especially not about different diseases they can catch. If it is a parasite that has caused the disease I think we need to investigate what kind of parasite it is and then find a solution to how to remove it. Have you any knowledge about dragon parasites that you could share with us?" Quote
Tanma Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 IC: De'kra dipped his head, "Good to see you again Flavius, I had worried that you might still suffer from that battle not too long ago. On matter of parasite, I people have had experience and many beasts that latch to larger creatures and influence them. It may be important what exactly causes rage. Is it merely pain of disease, or could this parasite be altering mind of Retraga, to enrage her? If the former we might be able to sooth her in some way, so we can work. Also, what can you tell we about parasite? What does it look like, and when did you first notice Retraga become sick? Anything else happen at same time?" OOC: So many Windwaker flashbacks. Wait, De'kra is the only one with an instrument, does that make him Medli? Quote

I heard yetis, as they are called, are making a comeback in many parts of the world and have even been sighted in Eubric, but I'm not sure how far their wanderings have taken them." "And you, monk." Flavius dipped his head a little, but didn't bow. "Besides the dragons, who have recently been flying about since their awakening after the Battle for Dastan, there are common animals who shouldn't cause you too much trouble. Trolls don't usually live this high up, and even though most mountains are snow-capped (or so I hear), Dastan is far too warm and dry for these snow people you speak of. There are golems and other ancient creatures deep within the mountains, however." "Yetis...?" "Greetings Flavius of the Rito Clan! I'm Maurice Ratibor, appointed leader of this party. You said that your efforts to cure the dragon had been fruitless, what did you try to do? I'm afraid I don't know much about dragons and especially not about different diseases they can catch. If it is a parasite that has caused the disease I think we need to investigate what kind of parasite it is and then find a solution to how to remove it. Have you any knowledge about dragon parasites that you could share with us?" "We tried to cure it, of course. Neither our medicine nor that of the Dastanese has worked, and physical removal or this parasite is dangerous. It will wake up and anger Retraga even more, for certain. That's why we hired you. It's likely that you'll have to remove it manually. There is not much else I can tell you about it, as we know very little ourselves." IC: De'kra dipped his head, "Good to see you again Flavius, I had worried that you might still suffer from that battle not too long ago. On matter of parasite, I people have had experience and many beasts that latch to larger creatures and influence them. It may be important what exactly causes rage.

Also, what can you tell we about parasite? What does it look like, and when did you first notice Retraga become sick? Anything else happen at same time?" "The Rito are strong, and that was a long time ago." Flavius smiled a little. "Though I am fine, thank you for your concern. Again, we don't know much else about it. We suspect the parasite found Retraga while in her slumber. Who knows how long she has been there, unaware of her sickness?" OOC: So many Windwaker flashbacks. Wait, De'kra is the only one with an instrument, does that make him Medli? QM Note: If he suddenly grows a beak and an affinity for young boys in pointy green hats. Quote
Palathadric Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 "I figured as much, but seeing Yetis in Eubric, where the mountains are not as high as yours here, made me wonder. Many thanks for the information. I suppose if you don't even know whether there is a parasite or not, then there's not too much you can tell us about the sickness. You say it's best not to approach him during the day. "A dragon being a cold-blooded creature, as some refer to it, means that they must not be able to move, almost at all, at night, am I correct? I do not know much about dragon's night habits as the only dragons I have encountered were evil ones, and that was during the day when we had to slay them to save villages, etc. I would be interested in knowing what kind of creature could affect so magnificent a beast to such a degree. "Also, Denerii informed us that the dragon has been wreaking havoc on your highest peak. What did you mean by that, exactly? Has she actually attacked anyone yet?" Quote
Tachyon Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Mizuki asks Flavius "How small is the parasite? If we know we can make plans to prepare to destroy it." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I turn to Mizuki, "I don't believe that they are even certain that there is a parasite, so they certainly won't know how big or small it is." Quote
Tanma Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 OOC: no way, Medli and Komali OTP. OOC: Medli is probably my favorite Legend of Zelda character. When you first meet her, does she dismiss you or ask you to save her/her people like every other NPC? No, she wants to help her people herself, and only asks to be thrown over to where she can give aid. And she has questionable self esteem too, but still wants to do all she can to help, whole her people still debate what to do. Then when you catch up to and free her she heads back down the mountin, but not out of fear or laziness, but to inform her people about the parasite. Compare this to Makar, who we meet by him getting eaten. And throughout it all she is polite and helpful, not even complaining when you accidentally fling her into the wall. And then compare her usefulness in the Earth Temple to Makar. You constantly need her help to proceed, while all he does is make some trees grow. Barring Zelda in Spirit Tracks and maybe Midna, she is probably the most helpful character to a Link. And unlike Midna she doesn't interrupt me. IC: De'kra nods and clicks, "Understood. What can you tell we about Retraga anyway, in case she attack we? If she see mostly through eyes, maybe we could use smoke bombs to cloud her sight, so we can help her without as much danger." Quote
Fred Daniel Yam Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 William listens to Flavius carefully, "I think I have no questions for you. Thank you." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 The little devil was playing on Monk Pretzel's nerves. I wonder how everyone else can act so natural around him as if he doesn't annoy them fully. Odd things! Perhaps we can split the party with him and that worthless ranger making up one team and getting lost in the mountains. At least Maurice and Mizuki proved themselves in that fight, though I do not agree with their means of doing so. Quote

"Also, Denerii informed us that the dragon has been wreaking havoc on your highest peak. What did you mean by that, exactly? Has she actually attacked anyone yet?" "I know little of dragon physiology. Whether or not Retraga is affected by the time of day is beyond my knowledge, though I know she sleeps at night like most other creatures." "Wreaking havoc as in, causing landslides, rock slides, and attacking anyone who approaches her, holy man. Some of these mountains were once... how do you say it? Fiery? It's possible she could've caused something related to that. These mountains are old, but they're known to react easily." "Volcanic, dear." Mizuki asks Flavius "How small is the parasite? If we know we can make plans to prepare to destroy it." I turn to Mizuki, "I don't believe that they are even certain that there is a parasite, so they certainly won't know how big or small it is." "Your monk friend is right. We know little else about whatever is causing Retraga's pain and anger, though I'm sure you'll find out." *snip* QM Note: There was a parasite in WW? IC: De'kra nods and clicks, "Understood. What can you tell we about Retraga anyway, in case she attack we? If she see mostly through eyes, maybe we could use smoke bombs to cloud her sight, so we can help her without as much danger." "She is, well, angry. But a magnificent creature. You will show awe and respect when you meet her." "Now, are you ready to go? We will make our way to the mouth of Retraga's cave, and we will not make any stops. Time is of the essence, and her condition can only be getting worse. I suggest you prepare yourselves now, for anything that might come our way." Quote
Tanma Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 IC: De'kra dipped his head with respect, "Of course, I apologize if that sound wrong. I was unsure as to how much control she had left. I would respect her regardless, I have seen all too many noble spirits become consume by parasites to blame affected. We lost a village once to parasitic face-huggers. Do you have an advice on how to act in her pressence? What does she value, what virtues does she hold dear, so we know what lines to avoid? I am afraid I people skills are not best, so if there something I can do, please tell I." OOC: I was thinking of the lobster-scorpion torturing Valoo. Quote
