Pyrovisionary Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 "Nostrum mate" Grunts the old man, his aching bones and throaty voice reminding him of his age and ailment.
Cutcobra Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The three men said goodbye to the Sisters again, and headed to the Lodestar Inn by the Port, where the Sun Elven barkeep greeted them. "Hi there! Come back to catch some sleep, have you? It'd be 50 gold per person, with a complimentary drink of your choosing." "I'll be taking that, and a nice Nostrum to go. I will also be taking your advice on how you got a nice tan like that."
Zepher Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 "Gray Angel. Doesn't sound half bad." Boomingham finds his bedroll and streches out, looking around at the other people preparing to sleep. He subconsciously clutches his draw-string bag where he keeps his gold.
Sandy Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 QM Note: Still waiting on Eric to pick a drink... "I will also be taking your advice on how you got a nice tan like that." "My bloodline is that of the Huravani, or the Sun Elves, as you know us. My family left the Eversummer Islands ages ago and mingled with other races, so I am not pure-blooded. That's how I got this 'nice tan'. Wyndam's the name, hope you have a relaxing night under my roof." The three heroes grabbed their drinks and went to bed.

Pyrovisionary Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Sarge heads outside of the inn to the port still feeling slightly groggy.
Cutcobra Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hecks goes outside and heads to the Daystar Tower. "Is the Midday Ceremony now or in the afternoon? I'm sure you know me by now." Heckz waits for the Sun Guard's respone.
Zepher Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Boomingham chuckles. "You've got some wit to you, huh? Reminds me of a few of my other favorite young ladies. The Resort it is - with a quick detour through the palace district. If I've got the gold for it maybe I'll buy you something nice... or maybe buy myself something nice."
Sandy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Sarge heads outside of the inn to the port still feeling slightly groggy. Sarge wasn't the only one feeling groggy that morning, for the Black Scorpion Knight was sitting against a pillar outside the Inn, working on getting drunk all over again. "A crappy mornin' to you all..." the knight muttered. Hecks goes outside and heads to the Daystar Tower. "Is the Midday Ceremony now or in the afternoon? I'm sure you know me by now." Heckz waits for the Sun Guard's respone. The Sun Guard by the Tower's door was confused by Heckz's question. "Ahem... The Midday Ceremony is held at the midday, as the name states. If you will only wait for a couple hours, I am sure the Magister would be thrilled to have you as a guest." Boomingham chuckles. "You've got some wit to you, huh? Reminds me of a few of my other favorite young ladies. The Resort it is - with a quick detour through the palace district. If I've got the gold for it maybe I'll buy you something nice... or maybe buy myself something nice." It was midday when Boomingham and Periwinkle reached the Floral Square in front of the Palace. Periwinkle was excited to hear they were going to hit the shops. "I know I should be a woman of faith now and steer away from all things mundane... But I just love shopping!"
Cutcobra Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 "Ahem... The Midday Ceremony is held at the midday, as the name states. If you will only wait for a couple hours, I am sure the Magister would be thrilled to have you as a guest." OoC: Sorry, I thought that it went directly from morning to afternoon. "Sure. I can wait. I'll catch up with the other losers later."
Zepher Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Boomingham glances at the two knights before walking up to Vipersace. "Hello there, chap. Lord Lawrence Boomingham - we met the other day. Let me take a look at what you've got."
Pyrovisionary Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 "A crappy mornin' to you all..." the knight muttered. Sarge breathes in the cool morning air and splutters slightly. He looks at the fellow black knight and suddenly remembers his spat with the Black market. "Aight mate" He grins, trying to put some cheer into the miserable bastard. "You's wouldn't happen to be one a them rainbow knights would ya, cos we know where they run the black market don't we lads" He eyes Eric and Heckz, and punches one fist into his other hand. "And we's looking for some revenge."

"Aight mate" He grins, trying to put some cheer into the miserable bastard. "You's wouldn't happen to be one a them rainbow knights would ya, cos we know where they run the black market don't we lads" He eyes Eric and Heckz, and punches one fist into his other hand. "And we's looking for some revenge." "Meh! What are you telling me this for? I'd love to nail the Black Market, but since their leader Ashanti is the sister of my captain, there's nuthin' I can do about it. You say you know where she's hiding? Check again - she must've had moved everything by now."
Zepher Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Boomingham nods at the wares. "I'll be back. Rest assured. You've got a good shop, I'm just short of coin at the moment. But it ain't tough for me to find some." Boomingham bows to his new friend, and with one more wayward glance at the knights he sets out for the Resort. "We'll get ourselves a treat sooner or later, my dear," he assures Peri. "I'm sure you'd look just ravishing in those shoes."
Cutcobra Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Heckz waits for until midday for the Midday Ceremony.

QM Note: I'll have to wait until Sarge and Eric decide what to do, sorry!
Khorne Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 "A crappy mornin' to you all..." the knight muttered. Eric raised an eyebrow and smiled. "And a crappy morning to you, too! Any reason why this morning is so particularly crappy for such a dark and gloomy Black Knight, such as yourself?" The old man looks back at Heckz and Eric to discuss their actions for the day "I'd wanna to find some of them poisons to sell, and beat the shit outta them black marketeers; rude buggers, though we should get Boomingham and Rex to help us. Aint we gotta find some dirt on Ovelia's opponents too Whaddaya say?" "Finding those poisons to sell is definitely high on my list of things to do here. I could use some coin to buy at least one nice and valuable souvenir in this damn city without getting scammed," Eric muttered. He was still angry about not going to be able to collect the goods he had bought from the black marketeer, even though it was the party's own fault. "Also, I want to visit that magic shop in the Slums again, when it's open."

He was still angry about not going to be able to collect the goods he had bought from the black marketeer, even though it was the party's own fault. "Also, I want to visit that magic shop in the Slums again, when it's open." Sarge takes a moment to think then formulates a profitable plan. "How's bout we go to the Luxor dunes, pick us up Rex then try and find an Ouroboros. Then go to the bog for an Enki, then back to the slums for a shop?"
Zepher Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 "This is a creature that chap wanted me to collect venom from!" exclaims Boomingham. "Not bad luck - thought I'd have to go find it, but it's found us! Make sure it's venom doesn't do anything tricky to me, Peri." Boomingham attacks the Basilisk from the back row with Scupperer. Battle Order >Peri uses a Tiger Balm on Boomingham (back row) >Boomingham v. Basilisk
Pyrovisionary Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Ooc: Shouldn't Scupperer inflict the imbued effects? Sarge leads Eric to the Luxor Dunes. Edited June 8, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Zepher Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 OoC: It's got a 1/2 chance of each, but if I get petrified the first round we're in deep trouble... I guess I could give it a shot before trying the tiger balm, but it's a big gamble.
Cutcobra Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Heckz waits until the Midday Ceremony since Sarge clearly only leads Eric. "Bye guys! I'll probably reunite with some of you after my very important shopping at Vipersacheese or meet you in the pretty shop by the Slums." OoC: Is the effect from Sheik's Robes doubled with Money Maker? (For example: Victorious battle that had 3 enemies - Harlot with Sheik's Robes gains 6 gold. Edited June 8, 2015 by Cutcobra
Khorne Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Sarge takes a moment to think then formulates a profitable plan. "How's bout we go to the Luxor dunes, pick us up Rex then try and find an Ouroboros. Then go to the bog for an Enki, then back to the slums for a shop?" "Nothing we can't handle? I'm fine with that plan, as long as we'll make some coin and I get to go to the magic shop." Eric said. "Although having the boy mage on our side would've been nice too", he thought as Heckz stated that he would stay where he was for now.
Sandy Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Eric raised an eyebrow and smiled. "And a crappy morning to you, too! Any reason why this morning is so particularly crappy for such a dark and gloomy Black Knight, such as yourself?" The black knight sighed. "Look, I'm hungover, depressed and deprived, so I don't need any smartassed foreigners with ponytails in my life. So move along." Heckz waits until the Midday Ceremony since Sarge clearly only leads Eric. OoC: Is the effect from Sheik's Robes doubled with Money Maker? (For example: Victorious battle that had 3 enemies - Harlot with Sheik's Robes gains 6 gold. QM Note: Yes, they both are counted individually, should someone possess both the artifact and the trait. At noon, the guard let Heckz and a few other attendants into the Daystar Tower, where they got to observe a ceremony performed by a strange magus. With his azure skin, long snout and floppy ears, he was something Heckz had never seen. "Aeo Valares! Shom Allares! Mes Morgos Handares! O Daystar, May Thy Brilliance Illuminate the Golden Domes of Salmanda Forevermore!" After the ceremony, the magus mingled with the guests. He noticed Heckz among them. "Beg my pardon, Master Sorcerer, but I have not seen you before. Are you a visitor of our beautiful city, perhaps? I am Magister Lapis Lazuli, the Royal Weather Mage of Salmanda and the head of the Salmandan Circle of Magi. What Circle are you from, if I may ask?" Meanwhile, at the Luxor Dunes, the hot and dry air made Boomingham and Periwinkle sweat and cough as they prepared to engage the basilisk.
