UsernameMDM Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) "Good, you're back," greeted Illdria immediately. "I even won't bother asking if you're alright. The Bonies couldn't train their men to hit the broadside of a ship with a blade, much less a handcannon. Numbers is their only advantage. How many of them did you get?" "No Bonapartes, but a vampire. He seemed to have mental control of the Bonaparte soldiers. Some of them in the barracks were deceased and fed upon by the vampire. The survivors elected to stay in the barracks. According to the soldiers, Melville brought a few odd characters with him when he landed and things went bad." Edited May 2, 2015 by UsernameMDM
Myrddyn Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 "Prudish hens!" Erik pats himself down for his lump of charcoal as he walks to the dock overlook, but doesn't find it. "Nevermind, I'm sure I'll never forget these zingers." "Good, you're back," greeted Illdria immediately. "I even won't bother asking if you're alright. The Bonies couldn't train their men to hit the broadside of a ship with a blade, much less a handcannon. Numbers is their only advantage. How many of them did you get?" "Oh." His face falls as he remembers they were supposed to ensure the Bonapartes were incapacitated. And I could easily have restrained them with magic, too. Illdria is not going to be impressed. "Yeah, like sergeant shiny-pants said, we showed up, half the Bonies had already been killed by the other half, who'd been hexed by some bloodsucker." His smile almost returns as he realises he can both impress the captain and annoy the dragoon by taking the credit for the initial discovery of the vampire. "I drew him out, then we all fought the lot of them until Guts stabbed the vampire into dust. The soldiers were all panicky afterwards though, and I calmed 'em down and completely forgot we were meant to stop them comin' after us. Er, sorry boss. I think they're all too busy crapping themselves worryin' about their Admiral teamin' up with vampires to leave their barracks, though." Throughout the exchange, the barbarian heroically resists the temptation to use his elevated position to look down the front of Illdria's corset. He gestures at the drop with his Amethyst. "Er, we comin' down here or should we meet at the stairs?"
Scubacarrot Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 "Those soldiers are not an issue. We've accounted for about a dozen or so, dead or otherwise, and we know another group lead by one called Morgan is guarding prisoners." Guts tells the party about the password-door. "That room was marked as a laboratory on the map. If there's anything they put in the food or water to control the Bonapartes, it would be best to destroy or take it."
CMP Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 "We heroes tend to show up when we're not expected," Mortimer replies, glancing around. "But so do our enemies. It's good to have you with us, Melvin." "Glad to be helpin' ye." "No Bonapartes, but a vampire. He seemed to have mental control of the Bonaparte soldiers. Some of them in the barracks were deceased and fed upon by the vampire. The survivors elected to stay in the barracks. According to the soldiers, Melville brought a few odd characters with him when he landed and things went bad." "So....he's mind-controlling his own people?" Illdria shook her head. "Well...shit. That implies he's doing something corrupt enough even they'd be able to figure it out. I imagine bringing in a trio of vampires, as Melvin tells me, didn't help matters." His smile almost returns as he realises he can both impress the captain and annoy the dragoon by taking the credit for the initial discovery of the vampire.

"Er, we comin' down here or should we meet at the stairs?" "If you say so. I'm not here for the lackeys. I want the head of the man in charge after we round up the rest of my crew. If he's head his lieutenants devouring their allies I bet they're not on good terms anymore anyway." "Those soldiers are not an issue. We've accounted for about a dozen or so, dead or otherwise, and we know another group lead by one called Morgan is guarding prisoners." Guts tells the party about the password-door. "That room was marked as a laboratory on the map. If there's anything they put in the food or water to control the Bonapartes, it would be best to destroy or take it." "If that's true, then finding this 'Morgan' should be a priority. We'll have to figure out this door along the way." The captain unfolds the maps again. "We're at Cell 2 at the moment. We can only reach the Magpie from the opposite dock, Dock 1. We can sweep the entire floor on our way over there. What do you all think? Do we stick together or split up again?"

Myrddyn Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Stats look good. "If I were them, I'd've locked up Zasies in one of the cells. She'd just kick her way out of anywhere else. Might kick her way out of a cell, too. So I reckon we should go over the stairs to Cell 1 first, then we can take out the guns and sweep the rest of the place. I'm happy for us to stick together, 'specially if we wanna clear the office while we're nearby."
UsernameMDM Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 "Let's stay together and clear the first floor. We have taken care of one vampire, so two are left along with Melville."
-obelix- Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Thalion stands stunned for a few moments after dismantling the bars on Melvin's cell. After the initial shock has passed he turns around and looks at the dwarf, "Melvin, it is so good to see you alive and well! But... your cell..." He pauses and looks at the rest of heroes - none of them seemed to be aware, then turns back to Melvin, as he is unsure how to properly phrase the next question,"What happened in there?"

Erm, not the robot Hybros, Em and I fought alongside...not even sure I would believe some of these tales anymore." Melvin eyed the party that approached. "More?! Well, we need as many as we can I suppose!" The dwarven cook looked sideways at Hybros and Em. "Never doubted the cap'n would show up, but I'll admit I wasn't expecting an army of heroes! That said, I've been practicing that tune ye gave me back in Zylstra - bit more musically-inclined these days, and I'd be happy to help out yer group 'til we're out of here, if you'll have me." Melvin put his gloved hand forward. "Hm, it is good to hear that the song has been of use to you." Hybros shook the dwarf's hand, and nodded. "It seems that this fort is not what it seems then. If the rest of you took out one vampire, then there are two left. We must be on guard though. I agree that we should go to the other cell, and stick together. Hopefully we will find another crew member there..." Hybros thought about his vision, and addressed Illdria and Melvin. "Ehehm... I think your wizard is in danger. A vision, I am not sure what caused it, but I have learned to trust such things in my time, eheh... It appeared to me after we defeated those Earthwyrms. He was... being tortured by the Bonaparte admiral. And there was another there, I am not sure who. But I may have a clue to this password door... I was given the letter 'A'."
Myrddyn Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 "So do you know if that's the first letter, boss, 'cos there's plenty of words with 'A's in 'em." "Oh, Melvin, do you want to borrow this Talisman of Enlightenment?"

"M," Hoke says with a blank and slightly confused look on his face,"My letter is M." Edited May 3, 2015 by UsernameMDM
Scubacarrot Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 "I wasn't given anything." Guts says blankly. "There were eight numbers... Eight of us... Ennoc's balls, I hate it when it feels like the gods are playing games with us."
JimBee Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 "So do you know if that's the first letter, boss, 'cos there's plenty of words with 'A's in 'em." Hybros shrugged. "These visions are never so clear. Yet we are expected to trust them, heh! Such things are how I found my people, after all..." "M," Hoke says with a blank and slightly confused look on his face,"My letter is M." "Hm, so I am not the only one. But not all of us received a letter... perhaps in due time, then... Hoke, what did you see?"
UsernameMDM Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) "Torture," Hoke plainly stated as he tried to decipher the vision in his mind. Edited May 4, 2015 by UsernameMDM
JimBee Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 "Torture," Hoke plainly stated as he tried to decipher the vision in his mind. "Who?" It seemed Hybros was better, or perhaps just more experienced, than the Dragoon in reading visions.
UsernameMDM Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) "Who?" It seemed Hybros was better, or perhaps just more experienced, than the Dragoon in reading visions. "Me," Hoke says, foggy, trying to remember,"Melville. He wants to become part of the Cold Circle, and, somehow, he needs my help in doing it." Edited May 4, 2015 by UsernameMDM
CMP Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 "If I were them, I'd've locked up Zasies in one of the cells. She'd just kick her way out of anywhere else. Might kick her way out of a cell, too. " "Sounds about right." Thalion stands stunned for a few moments after dismantling the bars on Melvin's cell. After the initial shock has passed he turns around and looks at the dwarf, "Melvin, it is so good to see you alive and well! But... your cell..." He pauses and looks at the rest of heroes - none of them seemed to be aware, then turns back to Melvin, as he is unsure how to properly phrase the next question,"What happened in there?" "Got thrown in here almost as soon as I got here. Kept me fed...at first. No questions or anythin'. Not sure what they even wanted!" Hybros thought about his vision, and addressed Illdria and Melvin. "Ehehm... I think your wizard is in danger. A vision, I am not sure what caused it, but I have learned to trust such things in my time, eheh... It appeared to me after we defeated those Earthwyrms. He was... being tortured by the Bonaparte admiral. And there was another there, I am not sure who. But I may have a clue to this password door... I was given the letter 'A'." "A...vision? That sounds like something Jules would be involved in." Illdria sighed. "But...he's tough. I'm sure he can hold up to whatever that bastard is trying. Let's not make him wait, though." "So do you know if that's the first letter, boss, 'cos there's plenty of words with 'A's in 'em." "Oh, Melvin, do you want to borrow this Talisman of Enlightenment?" "Sure, if ye like." "I agree that we should go to the other cell, and stick together. Hopefully we will find another crew member there..." The party moves to the stairs just to the side of the cells, but they, too, were collapsed. This one, however, appeared different, a cannonball lodged in the rubble that appeared oddly smooth, as if cement had been poured down onto them. "Strange. They blew up their own stairwell and then dumped concrete into it?" "Seems like they didn't care for Jolly Roger's renovations, hehah!" "Or like we're being deliberately funneled somewhere." The captain frowns and rubs her chin in thought.
Scubacarrot Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 "I knew this would be useful at some point!" Guts presents his Pickaxe, and gets to work.
CMP Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Guts begins the arduous task of unearthing an entire stairwell with a pickaxe.
JimBee Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 "Well, what choice do we have? Let us go around to the kitchen."
Scubacarrot Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 With audible disappointment, Guts once again shoulders his pickaxe. "Whatever, let's walk right into the ambush." The alchemist drinks a Mead, Smelling salts and Nostrum.
UsernameMDM Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 "Torc and I can see what's up there," Hoke says as he mounts Torc again and flies up the stairs for a look.
Tachyon Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "This feels like a trap." Mizuki said cautiously as she drunk a Nostrum.
Emjajoas Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "My last quest was a trap, too. And we forced our way through that." Mortimer clutches Erdy's handcannon tighter. "Be cautious, and we'll be alright."
