Heroica RPG - Quest#124: The Song of My Heart

[Sandy]

On a wintry day, three heroes of Heroica arrived to the Hinckwell Villa. They were escorted to the room where the lady of the house was waiting for them.

"So, you are the three gentlemen that answered my call", said Laureline Hinckwell in her soft, melodic voice. "Welcome to the Hinckwell Villa, and more specifically, the Music Hall, where I keep my instruments. Unfortunately I get a chance to play them all too seldom nowadays, for my duties as the wife of the wealthiest merchant in the city keep me busy... But I digress. The song that is in question has never been played under this roof, in any case. It has been almost thirty years since I composed it. I was a silly young girl back then, with my head up in the clouds. His name was Taliesin, fair of hair and blue of eye, and we formed quite a duet when we performed together in various taverns around Uland. However, my dreams were bigger than his. When I was approached by Heinrich to perform in this very house, I couldn't refuse. However, the invitation was for me only. Taliesin was upset, we argued, and later that night I found myself from Heinrich's arms." With a hint of sadness in her smile, Laureline walked to the grand piano standing in the middle of the room. "I chose fame and fortune over my first love. This song I wrote for Taliesin, and I call it Lovebird."

[Zepher]

"Yo, that's a tight song." Bobby offers his hand. "Bobby Bucks Jr., by the way. My friends call me Young Bucks. It's awesome to meet you. So your letter said some funky stuff has been going down with the song, people singing it and that shiz, huh? And you want us to find out why? That ain't right, yo, stealing from other people. Especially if it's personal stuff, you know? What about this Taliesin dude? You think he'd give it to people?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Aye. I'm sorry fer that. Perhaps thys Taliesen began to sing it. You think he had bad intentions?"

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten greeted the Hinckwell matriarch politely, introducing himself to his employer. To the ranger's dismay however, his younger companions chime in with their sloppy street slang. Not that he was overly opposed to it, but their employer seemed to be more sophisticated and he hoped to close as few doors as possible before he could fully explore where they led.

To continue the discussion however, he said

"That is a beautiful song indeed, the emotion in it is clear. I could see why you would want to keep it personnel. You didn't say though, were you able to perform it for Taliesin or have you only sung it alone in private? Could provide some interesting leads, if that is what you would like us to look for ma'am"

Darksten added emphasis to the last word as he cast a sideways glance to his teammates.

[Sandy]

"So your letter said some funky stuff has been going down with the song, people singing it and that shiz, huh? And you want us to find out why? That ain't right, yo, stealing from other people. Especially if it's personal stuff, you know? What about this Taliesin dude? You think he'd give it to people?"

"Thank you for the compliments, Mr. Bucks. Yes, as I wrote in the quest pitch, I've recently started hearing people hum and sing this same song with these same lyrics at the park and on the streets. I tried asking a few about it, but they just said they learned it from a friend or at a tavern. What comes to Taliesin, he left Uland thirty years ago, swearing he would never want to see my face again. If he still bears grudges thirty years later, then this would be a curious way to show it."

"That is a beautiful song indeed, the emotion in it is clear. I could see why you would want to keep it personnel. You didn't say though, were you able to perform it for Taliesin or have you only sung it alone in private? Could provide some interesting leads, if that is what you would like us to look for ma'am"

"I did indeed sing it to him, but just once, as a way of saying I need to part ways with him. He obviously felt betrayed and sad, but it was so long ago... Surely a man with his looks would have found himself a new lover quickly. Besides, I never gave him the notes, so could he remember the song that precisely after all these decades? I kept them to myself, but when I moved into this house, the notes got lost somewhere. I've tried looking for them these couple of days, but I cannot find them anywhere. 'Tis a big house, I have to admit."

Laureline bowed her head. "It would be unbecoming of me to run around the streets aimlessly after a silly old song, so that is where you come into the picture. I've most often heard the tune at the Hanging Gardens, the public park just outside our estate. May I suggest you start your investigation there?"

[Zepher]

"Thank you for the compliments, Mr. Bucks. Yes, as I wrote in the quest pitch, I've recently started hearing people hum and sing this same song with these same lyrics at the park and on the streets. I tried asking a few about it, but they just said they learned it from a friend or at a tavern. What comes to Taliesin, he left Uland thirty years ago, swearing he would never want to see my face again. If he still bears grudges thirty years later, then this would be a curious way to show it."

"Yo, I'm glad to hear it. I hate when people get all whack. Shiz happens, but if you and him were pals and got on good, that'd be the worst if he was the dude spreading it. I think most people respect that, even if they end up never wanting to see you again. Love is like that, yo, it never goes away even if you can't see that lady or dude anymore, you know?"

"Yo, I'm sorry dudes, I don't think I know either of you, and I was so distracted with Madam Hinckwell I totally forgot my manners. Like I said, I'm Bobby. What's up?" He nods to both his quest mates. "I'm sure we'll have a rad time together. Hanging Gardens, you think? I'm down. You dudes ready to bounce?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Aye, let's go. Ma'am, did any one help you move?"

[Comrade Commander]

"Aye, let's go. Ma'am, did any one help you move?"

Darksten gives an approving nod to the young teen as he shows a little respect to their employer. To Madam Hinckwell he adds

"The lad brings up a good point, do you have reason to suspect any of your entourage in spreading your song? Could be a fanatical fan trying to make you more popular, or someone other than the former lover who felt slighted for an action in the past. Could provide some further leads, but if not we will certainly check out the hanging gardens"

He nods to both his quest mates. "I'm sure we'll have a rad time together. Hanging Gardens, you think? I'm down. You dudes ready to bounce?"

Darksten returns the nod to Bobby realizing that he too had been to preoccupied thinking about the quest to properly introduce himself. "Probably could have given a quick grammer lesson if I had caught him before hand" the ranger thinks, but instead replies simply

"Darksten" then adding quickly so as to not appear rude by ignoring the lady in front of them "we probably will be able to head out soon"

"Aye, let's go. Ma'am, did any one help you move?"

"I didn't have much in my possession at that time, but naturally there were servants involved. It was thirty years ago, so I can't possibly remember which ones."

"The lad brings up a good point, do you have reason to suspect any of your entourage in spreading your song? Could be a fanatical fan trying to make you more popular, or someone other than the former lover who felt slighted for an action in the past. Could provide some further leads, but if not we will certainly check out the hanging gardens"

"I do give charity concerts from time to time, but I am not aware if I have any actual fans anymore. I am no Carly Swift, after all. I have no reason to believe my family or servants would wish ill for me, but of course the Hinckwells are not without enemies. I personally do not get involved in my husband's businesses, though."

Without getting anything further out of Lady Hinckwell, the party headed to the Hanging Gardens. The park was built on the side of Sungold Hill, and it had several paths criss-crossing down the slope. It wasn't long before the party heard the familiar tune, hummed by a young arbormancer gardener tending to a flowerbed - an odd sight in the middle of a particularly cold winter.

How would the party approach him?

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Leofwein approaches. "Aye sir, sorry to interrupt, but where did you hear that song? It's a fine tune."

[Sandy]

Leofwein approaches. "Aye sir, sorry to interrupt, but where did you hear that song? It's a fine tune."

The arbormancer jolted as he was snapped out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Well, I..."

At that moment something pushed out of the flowerbed. It was a shovel, followed by the head of a dwarf. And not just any dwarf, but a dark dwarf - a breed of dwarves corrupted by the ancient Mercutionian magics running rampant in the tunnels deep under Uland.

"Mole's egg dispenser! We missed our mark! Crafty, Sneaky, get up here!"

"H-hey! You're ruining my flowers! Get out of there."

Another dwarf popped up after the first, carrying a pickaxe.

"Orrik's stony bollocks, Shifty! This ain't the Hinckwell Vault!"

"I only followed your calculations, Sneaky! It's your damn fault!"

A third dwarf followed suit, this one armed with a double-edged axe and wearing a winged helmet. He was obviously the leader of the trio.

"Cut the gravel, you two! Our plot has been uncovered!" The dark dwarven boss pointed his axe at the arbormancer and the heroes.

"I've been keeping those flowers alive for a month! You'll pay for this!" The young mage looked at the heroes. "R-right, guys?"

[Zepher]

"Yo man, I don't love fighting and what not but you can't go around digging up other dudes flower patches. And sounds to me like someone is planning on digging into the Hinckwell Villa. That ain't right, dude. Missus Hinckwell already got enough shiz stolen from her, you can't go stealing more. Not cool, dudes. And you can't go waving axes all around, dude, you dig? So, yo, this is how this is gonna go down I think, tell me what's up though Darkstan. You dudes can go home and not bother the flowers or Hinckwells, or we can send you home, you know?"

[Comrade Commander]

"This, erm, gentlemen has a point..." Darksten tells the dwarven group, referring to Bobby

"you have some explaining to do" he finishes, loading a bolt into his crossbow and leveling it back towards the dwarf 'leader' pointing an axe at them

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Leofwein lifts his own axe, just as big, if not bigger. "Hey, what do you think you are up to? Come here you scoundrels."

[Sandy]

The dark dwarves took on the challenge.

"Svartalfar! Let us dispose of these bolsterous eye-witnesses and get back to digging!"

"Why are you always so prim and proper, boss? We're ravagers, by Orrik's hairy nipples!"

"And I haven't seen you pick up a damn shovel in decades!"

"Shut your tunnels and attack!"

"Eep!" The arbormancer jumped behind the heroes as the dark dwarves leaped forward.

Leofwein attacks Dark Dwarf Crafty, front row. "Let's axe 'em!"

[Zepher]

Bobby cracks his whip, and then attacks Sneaky from the front row. "Yo dude, this whip is all new to me," he proclaims, though it's hard to tell if he's addressing his party or his enemies.

[Comrade Commander]

Plan of Attack:

Darksten: target shifty from back row

Leofwein: target crafty from front row

Bobby: target sneaky from front row

Darksten watches as the Mage dives for cover, disappointed the party wasn't going to get any magical assistance. None the less he launches his bolt towards one of the dwarves.

[Sandy]

QM Note: There was a mistake in Shifty's Special, it really wasn't supposed to cause 45 damage.

Darksten starts the fight with a bolt that hits one of the dark dwarves, but the other two are already upon the heroes, hacking them ferociously. Darksten is knocked out, and Bobby and Leofwein get badly bruised as well.

"You can do it!" The arbormancer cheers them on from a safe distance. "Umm, right?"

[Zepher]

Bobby grins at the arbormancer. "Yeah dude, no worries." Bobby turns to Leofwein. "I think we should give it another go, my dude. I'll take that leader bro if you want to pin down the dude with the brown beard. Hang back, yo!"

Bobby attacks Crafty from the back row.

"Sneaky! Shifty! See that handsome boy with a dashing mohawk? We shall spare him and take him as a slave. That is an order!"

"Huh?!" The two other dwarves looked at each other, wondering if their boss has totally lost it.

"Yo man, I think we just gotta keep chipping away at them right now, yo. At least until one of them goes down." Bobby repeats with the same battle order.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"I hope you are right." Leofwein repeats.
