Heroica RPG - Quest #106 Devilish Documents

[Pyrovisionary]

The marine takes darksten into the hold and shows him his bunk.

"Anyone else want to rest or maybe another game of blackjack. C'mon! I'm bored, and the sailors're idiots."

The merman who had been looking out to sea turns around

"Well you aint gotta look after a boat do you shortarse."

[Lego Spy]

"Sure," Deus responded, in the mood for another game, "I'm in."

[Pyrovisionary]

"And what about you dwarf?"

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald takes a moment to let out a small, quite grunt of disapproval at the word 'dwarf' before speaking.

"Oh, sure, why not? Could be fun I s'pose..." He puts 15 gold on the table.

[Pyrovisionary]

The dealer deals the cards, looks at her own then takes a hit. Content, she lays back.

"What'll it be for you gentlemen, hit or not?"

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald Hits as well. Not literally though. That wouldn't be very appropriate.

[Lego Spy]

Deus hits as well, realizing his mistake last game.

(I put down 5 gold by the way)

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald hits again, feeling just a little unsure of himself.

[Pyrovisionary]

"Everyone finished hitting?"

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Yep, I think that'll do me."

[Lego Spy]

"I'll hit once more," Deus replies.

[Pyrovisionary]

The players reveal their hands:

Deus: 24 (Bust)

Dealer: 17

Grimwald: 20 (winner)

Grimwald gains 40 gold and half a level of experience!

The party rests in the hammocks in the hold, and by evening they had arrived at Portston.

The sun was just going down but there was an hour or so left before the heroes would feel any need for sleep. In the meantime they could visit the Inn's bar or the Smithy

What will the party do?

"Well, I dunno about you fellas, but I could use a drink or two. Shall we head to the Inn first?"

[Comrade Commander]

"Well, I dunno about you fellas, but I could use a drink or two. Shall we head to the Inn first?"

"I would prefer the Smithy" Darksten says as he stretches his legs after the voyage "I assume we are going to have to stay at the Inn tonight, so we can always swing past the bar on the way to bed. I just prefer to get a lay of the land and enjoy the fresh air a bit before settling in."

Darksten's stomach begins to rumble a bit however, so he takes the level up mushroom that he had been saving out of his pack and begins to munch on it while the party quickly huddles. (Darksten is now level 11.5!)

"Eh, I'm tired too, but I can probably muster a trip to the smithy first," Deus replied in a sarcastic drawl.

"Oh, why not..." Deus said as he followed suit and pulled out his Level-Up Mushroom and took a bite. "Hmm, not bad." (Deus is now Level 7)

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Yeah, that's a better idea. Let's go to the smithy instead."

[Pyrovisionary]

The party heads over to the Blacksmiths, which was a rather hasty arrangement.

"Customers! Well what'll you be wanting? We got a bunch of Shadeaux weapons since they cancelled their shipment..."

'Deryk's Steel-smiths:'

Shadeaux Longsword (Wp:10; suitable for knights, rogues, beast warriors, infiltrators, marauders, regulators, skirmishers and winged warriors.) - 100 gold

Shadeaux mace (Wp:9; deals fragile effect, suitable for clerics, knights, alchemists, infiltrators, marauders and necromancers.) - 90 Gold

Grating Stone (WP +1 to one weapon upon use.) *2 in stock!* - 50 gold

Bright Polish (SP +1 to one shield or armor upon use.) *1 in stock* - 100 gold

Portston Guard helm (SP:3; Immune to Water and Weakened )

SERVICES AVAILABLE:

Upgrade equipment (+1 point):

Any weapon can be upgraded with this service, adding one point to its power per upgrade. Each upgrade costs the amount of WP the weapon has after the upgrade times ten. For example, when a Sword (WP: 3) is upgraded to a Sword (WP: 4), it costs 40 gold. When an Axe (WP: 6) is upgraded to an Axe (WP: 7), it costs 70 gold. You can also upgrade the SP of shields this way.

You can order several upgrades for your weapon or shield, but the costs will stack. For example, upgrading a Mace (WP: 3) to a Mace (WP: 5) will cost {40 + 50 =} 90 gold.

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 50 gold.

The merging can be undone to get the gem back, but it will cost another 50 gold. Multiple gems can be imbued into one weapon or shield, but they all need to be merged separately.

[LordoftheNoobs]

"I say, these items look useful! I'll take those off you, my good man."

Grimwald hands over 290 gold in exchange for both Grating Stones, the Bright Polish, and the Shadeaux Mace.

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten watches the gnome grab up a bunch of items in his stubby arms. To Darksten the items were impressive, but of not much use to him. However, something was bothering him.

"Do you know why the Shadeaux would cancel their order? The weapons seem to be good enough quality..." Darksten asks the blacksmith

[Pyrovisionary]

Qm note: Sorry guys,update in the morning,

[Lego Spy]

"Might I inquire on the price of the helm?" Deus asked.

[Pyrovisionary]

QM Note:

"Ah, that'd be 100 gold"

[Lego Spy]

OOC: I believe I should have 65 gold after the blackjack games.

"Hmm," Deus grumbled as he counted his gold, "Can either of you lend me 35 gold?"

[Pyrovisionary]

"Hmm," Deus grumbled as he counted his gold, "Can either of you lend me 35 gold?"

As his fellow ranger asks for aide, Darksten thinks back to the last quest that they were on together. Clearly this young lad had earned his fair share. So Darksten took out the 35 coins and handed them to his younger partner "hmph" Darksten thinks to himself, "almost like having a sidekick I guess"
