Heroica RPG- Quest #67: Nova Tertia

[Flare]

OoC: Hi guys. I'm on my way home and I am just checking up on my phone. I just want to request a little bit of time for me to get a couple trades done and finish my shopping in the marketplace done and then Benji will be ready to participate!

[Rumble Strike]

Tarn hands back the Whip. "I can't use this, Haldor. It is a weapon for a Rogue."

He listened to the reasoning to head to the Spitosaur Springs, and nodded in agreement. "I think they will be a good first stop on this tour! Bors, Alan, what kind of lizards are these?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

QM Note: Before I head you off to the springs, I have to tell you, no one can get 5 gold on the previous page, that was the cost of them.

"We'll have to hike up a small river, and then we'll find some Spitosaurs. They're usually aquatic like. But be careful mate! They like to spit into your eyes! Crickey, the poison they spit will make you go blind."

[Flare]

OoC: Capn, I was planning on switching Benji to assassin but I didn't get to do it since I was gone. Is it alright if I do that quickly also?

[Capt.JohnPaul]

QM Note: Sure, but if you're as lucky as you were with SHIELDS in Princess Panic, you'll regret it!

[Rumble Strike]

"Haldor, I think those items were for sale, rather than for you to simply just take them. You've done a lot of that recently "

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Haldor, I think those items were for sale, rather than for you to simply just take them. You've done a lot of that recently "

"Indeed they were! Those are all we got. We need as much money as possible to pay for the damages."

[Rumble Strike]

"My apologies, Alan. We had better pay for Heckz's apple then, as he does not have enough gold."

Tarn hands 8 gold to Alan.

"Does anyone want to borrow any of my extra equipment? You, ranger, you could borrow my handcannon, or the mage fellow can borrow any of my extra gems if he desires. I will have no need of them for this quest. I also have some extra artifacts that I haven't sold off yet, if anyone is interested in purchasing or borrowing... Also Haldor, those claws of yours look awful nice, think I might be able to buy them off of you at the end of the quest?"

"I'm not sure I know all of you. Well, yes, hi Haldor its good to be questing with you. Whats your name, fellow ranger? And you're that mage I was talking with earlier, whats your name son?" Benji asks out of breath.

While waiting for his companions to respond to his questions, Benji takes a smelling salts and nostrum.

QM Note: Sure, but if you're as lucky as you were with SHIELDS in Princess Panic, you'll regret it!

I was a warden, then, anyways

Edited April 29, 2013 by Flare

[Scorpiox]

Once again, my reading ability is found wanting,

Haldor blinks.

"Aye.... Glad to see you've caught up with us, Benji, part of me was worrying you'd never arrive."

He then walks up to Alan.

"So these lizards spit venom? Clue in the name, I guess. How many of them are we expecting to see, and how big?"

The nord looks around at the two weaker heroes, with a slightly nervous expression.

"About this blindness thing... is it, er, permanent?"

"I'm not sure I know all of you. Well, yes, hi Haldor its good to be questing with you. Whats your name, fellow ranger? And you're that mage I was talking with earlier, whats your name son?" Benji asks out of breath.

The hooded assassin who had joined the party finally spoke up. "My name is Jeaux, I am still fairly new to Heroica, but I do have some experience dispatching a variety of enemies. That hand-cannon does look a decent bit more powerful than my current bow, I don't have much experience using weapons such as that but if you are willing to lend it to me, I am willing to give it a shot."

[Flare]

"Good to meet you, Jeaux." Benji stares into the ranger's plain white face, trying to determine his emotions. "I'm Benji. Using a handcannon is just as easy as a bow. With just a little practice it will become just as natural for you."

Benji gives his Grogmas Handcannon to Jeaux for the remainder of the quest.

[Rumble Strike]

"Benji, I would appreciate the use of those Counterstrike Gloves, especially if we will be facing many enemies."

OOC: I have only 2 artefacts equipped and I can equip 3 now I am above level 20.

[Flare]

"Hello there. Tarn, correct? Nice to meet you. Sure, you can borrow my counterstrike gloves for the rest of the quest. So, feeling ready to take down some big newts?"

Heckz should only have the Heavy Metal Rod in his inventory, and not the Cheap Wand also. Also his power should be at 19.

Also Haldor's level increases should be +24 not +25

[joeshmoe554]

"Thank you, I'll try to make good use of it and not break it in the process." Jeaux replied while accepting the hand-cannon

"About this blindness thing... is it, er, permanent?"

Jeaux turned to the apparent expert on these lizards, "Yes could we get some more information about the animals we'll be facing. What kind of range can they achieve with their phlegm projectiles? What kind of metabolism do they have? What's their growth rate? Any information you can provide may help us in apprehending them safely."

[Rumble Strike]

"Thank you Benji. We have met before, in the Hall, I bought the Horned Hat from you. Unfortunately I cannot wear it as well as this noble mask."

Tarn equips the Counterstrike Gloves.

[Cutcobra]

Heckz turns to Benji "Name's Heckz Brutenhal, Ghost Buster, Professional Actor and most handsome man in Eubric. I think that Topaz will do."

Heckz notices Jeaux asking a lot of questions and he interrups with a grin "Are they good looking?".

[Flare]

Benji internally facepalms as he meets Heckz, but in any case decides to lend to Heckz his topaz for the duration of the quest.

[Cutcobra]

"You didn't tell me your name. Ben, is it?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Are they good lookin'? Crickey mage, you tell me. 120 pounds of pure hate and venom comin' at you. All I know is, their poison has the range to reach us. I'm not sure if it's permanent, but small amount shouldn't do too much harm. Oh, and they're about as tall as you. Are we ready to go?"

QM Note: Flare, why does Haldor have +24 instead of 25? I thought he said it was 25.

Edited April 29, 2013 by Capt.JohnPaul

[Rumble Strike]

OOC: Flare is right, Haldor's level increase should be +24 as he started at level 1 and is now level 25. I have been confused by that before as a QM.

Tarn smiled as encouraging a smile as he could manage through the noble mask, towards his Quest mates and allies. "I am ready to head out to the Springs."

[joeshmoe554]

"I am ready as well once the leader of our party gives the word."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

QM Note: Post edited, and now says 24. We'll resume once the leader has given the word.

Edited April 29, 2013 by Capt.JohnPaul

[Flare]

OoC: Yup. But now his power isnt right, because the power should be 25+ not 24+, because the power includes the level not the level increase. And my gold should be at 1 i think (my fault)
