Palathadric Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 As the others turn to go, I contemplate striking down the bug-eyed green skin, who looks like he's barely hanging onto life, but realizing that he was useful enough in the fight, I decide against it for the time being. Am I sure I'm fighting for the right side here. Considering the absolute rabble we have to work with, perhaps the Order Imperial's stance is the right one?" Moving closer to Yu Shu, I whisper, "Clever the plot with Samuel. I'm guessing your brother is not in on it as well though. I would have liked to think he was, considering what a decent fellow he seemed to be, but..." I trail off uncomfortably. Quote
Chromeknight Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Nerwen settles her satchel back on her shoulder, checking everything is there and drinking a tonic. She shakes out the darksteel armour making sure her defence is correct. Samuel, Yu Shu, perhaps you might heal Deborah and Gocklo? Perhaps check her armour also? Collecting the loot, she holds onto it for distributing later. Mitchell, being a big bad bezerker, you should naturally have some respite from your injuries, do you need healing beyond that? Marcellus, shake that stunned look off your face and straighten your armour up too. When that's sorted we're ready to go. Edited March 12, 2015 by Chromeknight Quote
KotZ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Kiray checks her armor and weapons, making sure nothing was damaged, trying to ignore the others' bickering. "I'm ready whenever you all are." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 "Oh, and commander, would it be too much to ask for a heal?" I ask of Yu Shu. Quote
LordoftheNoobs Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Grimwald gathers up his items, saying "Let's press on, shall we?" Quote
Zepher Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Moving closer to Yu Shu, I whisper, "Clever the plot with Samuel. I'm guessing your brother is not in on it as well though. I would have liked to think he was, considering what a decent fellow he seemed to be, but..." I trail off uncomfortably. "My brother is serving his role," answers Yu Shu as she heals him, and Samuel heals the entirety of the Golden Crusade. "It is unfortunate that he does not know the path that Ennoc has chosen for him. He is unaware that he was being used, and he has indeed joined the Order Imperial. I'll explain it all in a moment." The heroes follow Samuel down an alleyway swiftly. They come to a small unused room. "I apologize for the secrecy. I was hoping I'd be able to tell you my plan before we arrived, but Oko watched me nearly constantly. If he knew what I was up to, we'd still be standing outside those walls." "What WAS your plan?" "Swiftly, then - or as swiftly as it can be. Marcellus came to me and told me the Order Imperial had his witch in one of these compounds. Samuel was already working as a double agent for the Order Imperial. When Raguel was cut down in the north my brother tried to recruit him. He said yes, and came to me with it immediately. I already knew that Oko was working for the Order. He tried similarly to recruit Raguel before we sent him north, and Raguel had similar good sense to let me know." She sighs. "It was difficult for me to accept. And difficult too for Samuel to work under the Order Imperial." "It's good to be back on the right side of things." "We're glad to have you back. It was fun hurling insults, though." She smirks. "Anyway, when Marcellus came to me I had Samuel ask to be transferred to this base." "Wasn't difficult. Abel was being moved anyway on account of him 'going soft' - which is bull, he's the only good commander this damn Order has - and I just asked to go with him." "It was an enormous risk. If my plan failed, he'd be stuck here with the Order. But, no sense thinking that way. I think you know the rest. I hired heroes, had Marcellus lead us here, and had Oko capture us, like I assumed he would. There was no way to get through those doors unless they let us in. Which they did." "Enough history though. The objective remains the same. We're here to cut a chunk out of the Order Imperial. Avery, Samuel and I are going straight for the head of the snake. We'll be taking two heroes with us. Another two heroes will go with Marcellus to spring his witches. Samuel can point you in the right direction. It's up to you, heroes, who goes where." Yu Shu faces the Golden Crusaders. "It's up to you who you go with. I believe it would be in both of our best interest to not battle within this compound, but if you stand in our way, we'll cut you down." "We're here for the same reason," says Deborah with a shrug. Quote
KotZ Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 "If I could make a suggestion," Kiray says, "I say the Golden Crusaders go with Marcellus, or at least one or two. The others can go with you, Yu Shu. Nerwen, I would like to go with Yu Shu and take on the Order Imperial there." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Speaking to Yu Shu, I say, "Well, that was a clever enough plan. Good thinking. Let's hope we have a way to get out of here when it's done." Turning to Samuel, I query, "How long did you have to act as a double agent. Did you find it easy to put up the pretense?" "Wasn't difficult. Abel was being moved anyway on account of him 'going soft' - which is bull, he's the only good commander this damn Order has - and I just asked to go with him." "He seems a decent enough fellow. I've certainly seen worse." Speaking in a lower tone, I query. "I have to wonder what it was like working with the Order? What exactly do they do generally? I only encountered them once when on a mission to retrieve some old tome or something. Odd story, but they were trying to prevent us from going, so we were forced to do battle with them. They didn't seem particularly dark to me though. At the time I almost had to agree with what they wanted to do." As Yu Shu proposes making the teams, I look on. There was no need to think about which team I would prefer to be, on the question was whether I would be more useful with the greeny. Nudging the sack on bones, I suggest, "You should go with the greeny. You'd make a great team. You have my blessing as far as whatever you want to do with the witch is concerned." I chuckle to myself. Edited March 13, 2015 by Palathadric Quote
Zepher Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 "The Order is trying to create a world united under justice. It isn't a bad idea until you realize how few people would be invited. Working for them was... difficult. Especially once I moved here. In Eubric I still spent most of my time working under the Paladin Order, so things weren't too different. I only occasionally met with Abel to report, and once or twice ran a mission with him. They couldn't use me often - if I was discovered, my cover would be blown... which of course it already was, but they didn't know that." He grins. "Abel isn't a bad man. We agree on many things. I don't think he harbors the same hatred for green skins as the rest of his order, though he doesn't think they belong in Eubric." "Here though... I've raided a town with the Never Blessed. He's a monster. More like a demon than anyone I've ever met. As for Bella... she has done everything in her power to earn the title of Conquerer. She's ruthless. If I hadn't been on your side none of you would leave here alive unless you were Order Imperial through and through. She's a pyromancer. She burns her victims slowly for days." He shakes his hand sadly. "I rarely ever see her brother. He has a bodyguard, scary fellow with a face mask. And he... well, you know, he's a prophet. He's spent a lot of time talking with the witches. I only had one conversation with him. He consoled me on Raguel's death. I'd never mentioned it to him. He seems so calm and quiet, and he's young too... I can't see him being a part of the Order. I can't imagine him ordering anyone's death or condemning anyone." "Looks can be deceiving." Gocklo giggles at Pretzel's suggestion. "He he he. Sounds like a good idea." Gocklo winks at Marcellus. "You hear that, greeny? The Monk and I want to tag along with you." "I'll not have him with me." "Enough, Marcellus. They'll go where they please - they are here of their own accord, and we can't force them to do anything. Every second of argument is another second that we might be discovered. We can take this compound, but not if Bella unleashes her entire army on us. Besides, the witches will be well-guarded. You could use the extra muscle." "Mitchell, go with him and keep an eye on him." Deborah glares at Gocklo. "Remember why we're here." She turns to Yu Shu. "I'll break off and travel on my own. We'll only have the element of surprise for so long. As soon as we make our next move we'll be hunted. I can keep some pressure off your team by drawing soldiers to me." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 "Nerwen," I say, somewhat coolly, "you're party leader, it's your call." Quote
Chromeknight Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Nerwen look around at the other ten people gathered in the small room. I know time is important, but there's lots to consider. Kiray, you want to go with Yu Shu, so be it. Samuel, if Yu Shu takes one path, I suggest you being in the other group so both have a healer and defender. Gocklo, I don't want you off with Marcellus, I don't trust the two of you together if I can help it. Deborah, your plan for distraction seems sensible, though, no doubt you have a purpose of your own you want to accomplish. Quote
Palathadric Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Gocklo, I don't want you off with Marcellus, I don't trust the two of you together if I can help it. "Nerwen, they're not heroes, I'm not sure they'll take to your commands." I wink discreetly at Gocklo. Deborah, your plan for distraction seems sensible, though, no doubt you have a purpose of your own you want to accomplish. I chuckle at the comment. This was the ruthless Nerwen from my last quest, no questioning it. It had felt good to be part of team that was so powerful that their word was law just about anywhere. The hardness and callousness of the team had developed from each one spending years questing at Heroica was unmistakable. It had been a great quest. Quote
Zepher Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Samuel, if Yu Shu takes one path, I suggest you being in the other group so both have a healer and defender. "With all due respect, Lady Nerwen, I am not here to free witches. I have spent a number of months working for a group I despise so that we'd have a chance to take a stab at their very heart. I hope that Marcellus gets his witches back, but I will not be accompanying him until I know Bella is neutralized." "I want to do good by the gremlin, but Avery and Samuel stick by my side." Deborah, your plan for distraction seems sensible, though, no doubt you have a purpose of your own you want to accomplish. Deborah chuckles. "You're a stubborn one, huh? I already told you, hand to whatever damn god you choose, I'm here to make sure the Order Imperial gets its big behind handed to it." Gocklo, I don't want you off with Marcellus, I don't trust the two of you together if I can help it. "Nerwen, they're not heroes, I'm not sure they'll take to your commands." I wink discreetly at Gocklo. "He he he. I like this Monk!" exclaims Gocklo. "But he's right, Nerwen. Ain't taking no orders from you, sorry!" He hops up near her. "But, alright... normally I'd just let you think I was being, well, a kobold, but we're pals. The truth is that its not safe for the witches to be under the Order Imperial's lock and key. They're deal makers he he he! They don't have an alliance, no matter what floppy ears says, so we got to make sure that they're not left with these suckers at the end of the day. But truth be told that's where I'm going no matter what you think of it. I help out Deborah and Mitchell and Heweyrt and you because we're all friends, but I am a Witch Hunter, you know, he he he."

Chromeknight Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 So be it then. Yu Shu is taking Avery, Samuel and Kiray. Pretzel you'd better go with them. Deborah is off being a distraction, so that leaves Gocklo, Grimwald, Marcellus and Mitchell with me Quote
Palathadric Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 "No, really, I'd love to go rescue the witch! ...But I'm fine with going the other way too." As I turn to go, I make the slightest of motions of my finger running across my neck, so that only Gocklo can see it. "Witches be damned," I mutter. Quote

This will be a brutal and decisive battle. One way or the other." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 "Kiray, I'd strongly advise that you give one of your/my shields to Samuel." Quote
KotZ Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 As her group leaves, Kiray nods at Pretzel's advice. "Samuel, you should take this orcish barbed shield for now. You look like you need a shield and some protection." Quote
Palathadric Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Removing the Cloak of the Barbaric Runecaster and instead equipping the Soul Link Chain, I hand the other end to Samuel. "This is a blessed chain, Samuel. I guarantee that it will leave you feeling stronger and safer." Quote
Zepher Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 "Thank you for the shield and chain... I don't believe I've been told either of your names," says Samuel as he accepts both items with an embarrassed smile. Quote
Palathadric Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 "Pretzel," I reply, "Monk Pretzel. Former Paladin and current Artisan of Heroica. Pleasure meeting you. You and Nerwen seem to be acquainted. I suppose you met on one of her last quests? ...But I guess now is not really the time for small talk is it? Heh!" Quote
Zepher Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 "It's not." Yu Shu and Avery, walking well ahead of them, press themselves against the wall. Yu Shu chugs her mead and mulled wine. "There's four of them in there... but that's not accounting for any angels. We will most likely be massively out numbered. I hope you're prepared to fight to the last." She grins fiercely, but in the dim lighting, it is possible to see that she has started to sweat and shiver a little. "This is going to be bloody." Quote
