Captain Settle Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Francis stares skeptically at the Wolfgang members. "Uh, we did just save this guy with missing limbs life. I don't know if that counts as 'helping the common people'." Quote
CMP Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Loud enough for onlookers to hear, Actaeon says, "You're looking for a fight. Even your friend knows it. If you're so kind and generous, why would you want to fight people who are trying to save lives?" "Eubric doesn't need your so-called justice. The houses rely on you to fix their problems. They shower you with gold for you maintaining their power over the people. You're not saving lives. You're just taking a job." Francis stares skeptically at the Wolfgang members. "Uh, we did just save this guy with missing limbs life. I don't know if that counts as 'helping the common people'." "It won't help him much when he has nowhere else to go because you failed to help the elf here." "Reg-" "Come on, Red. I won't let these lies continue." "But I'm scared to fight heroes Reg." "If all that weren't enough, look what your group did to Briar. Would you believe this guy was one of our best lieutenants before you beat the sanity out of him? You 'heroes' are a farce, and I won't let it continue. Saving people only when it's convenient for you doesn't exactly spell 'heroics' in my opinion. None of you deserve to wear that title." Reg let that last statement hang in the air, arms crossed. Lane looked between him and the heroes. Would they fight the Wolfgangers or refuse? Quote
Tachyon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Aware of a possible fight to come on, Mizuki drank down a Nostrum and waited, ready to jump in, if required by her party leader. Quote
Captain Settle Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Francis agreed with what the Wolfgang member was saying, Francis was definitely not heroic, but he still wanted a fight. "I'm up for a fight if everyone else is!" Quote
Tachyon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 "But we could just say something like let's agree to disagree." Quote
Captain Settle Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 "I really doubt this guy is going to let us just walk away." Quote
Actaeon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Actaeon whispers to his fellow party members, "As much as I would like to destroy this guy and his lies, we'd only be proving his point if we did." Quote
KotZ Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 "We're not looking for a fight, Reg," Kiray said in an even tone. "You want to fight? Come with us, take down this beast and then you can continue to take from the Houses and give to the poor or do whatever your organization does. That's not my business. My business-and those with me right now-is to take down this beast." Quote
CMP Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Francis agreed with what the Wolfgang member was saying, Francis was definitely not heroic, but he still wanted a fight. "I'm up for a fight if everyone else is!" "But we could just say something like let's agree to disagree." "I really doubt this guy is going to let us just walk away." "We're not looking for a fight, Reg," Kiray said in an even tone. "You want to fight? Come with us, take down this beast and then you can continue to take from the Houses and give to the poor or do whatever your organization does. That's not my business. My business-and those with me right now-is to take down this beast." Reg narrowed his eyes at Kiray and the rest of the party, turning towards his own group and muttering to them for a little bit before he straightened up again and cleared his throat. "I don't like your group. I don't like you parading around with your false sense of justice and authority, and I don't like your pathetic sense of morality that only happens to come up while you're being paid to do your job." "But I've heard about this sea demon you're hunting. And I suppose it's in everyone's best interests for it to die, even if it does benefit the damn Houses too." The man in the ragged cloak, Red, nodded. "We'll help you, on one condition. We would like a cut. Something of that size has to have something valuable on it - or in it. We want half of whatever you're getting. The three of us all have some substantial combat training. Fighting you heroes, mostly." "Yeah, so don't go stabbing us in the back. If that's the case, I'll have to remind you why the Sewer Wolves are one of the most accomplished teams in our organization." Reg cracked his knuckles impressively. Lane merely glared at him and the rest of the Wolfgangers with suspicion, arms crossed. Kiray seemed to fall under that gaze too. "I thought we were the Truer Wolves..." "Shut up, Briar." Quote
KotZ Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 "Fine, come with us," Kiray replied. "But if any of you try anything I don't like, our deal is voided. Understood?" Kiray stuck out a hand. "Welcome aboard." Quote
Captain Settle Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 "Sewer Wolves? Who came up with that name? I won't pretend I'm not annoyed at you coming with us, and taking half our money, but if our party leader wills it to be, then fine." Quote
Actaeon Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Actaeon stares at the new recruits, partially disappointed that they would not be fighting, but also very relieved to avoid another battle, especially one under the scrutiny of onlookers. Actaeon eventually nods to them, acknowledging that they are now "allies". Quote
Tachyon Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 "Well uhh, good to see that everything could be sorted without any bloodshed." Mizuki said as Kiray accepted their offer. Quote
Actaeon Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 OOC: Is there a possibility of XP for avoiding a battle? Quote
CMP Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) "Fine, come with us," Kiray replied. "But if any of you try anything I don't like, our deal is voided. Understood?" Kiray stuck out a hand. "Welcome aboard." Reg shook Kiray's hand roughly. "Good. Where the hell are we heading? Did you get anything useful from that damn newspaper?" "Sewer Wolves? Who came up with that name? I won't pretend I'm not annoyed at you coming with us, and taking half our money, but if our party leader wills it to be, then fine." "World ain't a democracy kid. Up until recently our orders were to make sure the sewers were clear. We used them to get around the city and we couldn't have our people getting jumped by sewer gators or slimes or something. But it's not much of a necessity these days."

Tachyon Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 "Well the only thing in the paper that seems relevent to the sea monster, is that the attacks happen of the coast of the Lance, and that the beast happens to be magical in nature." Quote
CMP Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 "...and that the beast happens to be magical in nature." "Says who?" Reg laughed dryly. "Just because something has more power than it should doesn't mean it's magic. Just look at the damn Houses." Quote
KotZ Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 "Says who?" Reg laughed dryly. "Just because something has more power than it should doesn't mean it's magic. Just look at the damn Houses." Kiray shot Reg a look. She then glanced over to Lane. "Do you suggest anything or anyone else?" Quote
CMP Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Kiray shot Reg a look. She then glanced over to Lane. "Do you suggest anything or anyone else?" Lane tore his eyes away from the Wolfgangers. "That's all I've got. Sure we can dig up more help somehow. What have we learned so far? Maybe something we've heard or read would give us some idea of where to look next." Edited October 7, 2014 by CallMePie Quote
KotZ Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 "You guys have any ideas?" Kiray asked her party members. Quote
Captain Settle Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 "I have no idea what to do next. Maybe we've got enough people to take down the beast now?" Quote
KotZ Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 "Alright, then," Kiray replied. "Let's get a move on then." Quote
CMP Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 "Alright, then," Kiray replied. "Let's get a move on then." "Are you sure? We only get one shot at this, and there's still plenty of time to find leads." "Plus you could, you know, ask for my damn opinion," interrupted Reg. "I know a place we could hit. Lady Luck's Locale, about one of the last businesses in the Hovels. Fair warning though, nobody likes heroes down there." Quote

Lady Luck's Locale, about one of the last businesses in the Hovels. Fair warning though, nobody likes heroes down there." "Right, sorry, Reg," Kiray said sheepishly. "As long as you don't mention we're heroes, we'll be fine. And that goes for the rest of us, too. Is it a Wolfgang base? Let's go to the Lady Luck's Locale." Quote
CMP Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 "Right, sorry, Reg," Kiray said sheepishly. "As long as you don't mention we're heroes, we'll be fine. And that goes for the rest of us, too. Is it a Wolfgang base? Let's go to the Lady Luck's Locale." "Believe me, I'm not going to be out bragging that I'm working with you people. Let's get moving." The party left the docks behind and headed towards the Hovels. The alleyways spidering off the docks were dingy and dark, the excess rubbish of the buildings they were set between piling messily on either side. Reg seemed to know them well, as he lead them down several with little sign of uneasiness or anything that suggested he was lost. Down one alley, however, he stopped dead in his tracks as the smell of burning flesh became evident. "Well well, what do we have here?" "What the hell is this crowd of sad fools doing here?" "This is our alley, friend. Obsidiaric the Gold doesn't appreciate mercenaries intruding on his turf." The armored rockling slammed the end of his lance against the ground. "Five hundred coins and we'll let you go." "Are you mugging Reg Goldjaw? You have a hell of a long way to go, you mindless boulder." "Reg I"m sure we can work this out over some tea or something I really don't want to fight anyone." "Nothing to work out. Give us the gold and everything'll be fine." What will the party do? Quote
