Pyrovisionary Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 "I thought that was a kind gesture of you, Jon", Eric smirked and tossed the old man 24 gold pieces. "Never trust a loan shark mate." He shrugs and pockets the cash, grinning back at Eric "You're lucky I aint asking for ya firstborn child and left leg." He hesitate for a second "Tell you what, I could do with that actually." Jon sniggers slightly, eyeing his pegleg. Remembering the task at hand he looks to Boomingham, egging him on to heal him, and addresses the party as a whole; "Shall we see how the Rhino's doing then beat the shit out of those skull mask tossers?" He swings his greatsword over his head dramatically before puffing on his cigar and leaning on the sword.
Sandy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 QM Note: I'll just give the loot item to Sarge, then, if you're not going to decide who gets it. Boomingham heals Peri and Sarge before attempting to extract venom for the Basilisk's fangs, seemingly having forgotten that this was not one of the creatures whos venom the Snake Priest had requested. He waits patiently under a fang with an empty bottle of mead, hoping something might drip out. Boomingham soon found out that the basilisk was not a venomous creature at all, so nothing could be extracted from its fangs. "So we are headed for the Beach Resort again, then? You boys are really desperate to see girls in skimpy clothes, aren't you?"

Pyrovisionary Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Sarge looks angrily at Periwinkle at mutters abuse at her in disdain. "Actually our Merc mate's there. Rex. You wouldn't forget him love." The party sets off to the resort
Cutcobra Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 "Excuse me? I am the opposite of desperate, the women come to me. Now, excuse me but some royal egg dispenser didn't heal me and alas I must take my leave." Heckz heads for the Menagerie.
Zepher Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Boomingham chuckles as the boy wanders off on his own. "Couldn't even get himself to ask nice," he says merrily. "Ah well, shall we go look in on Rex and see if we can't find a key in the sand, my friends?"
Sandy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 The party sets off to the resort Periwinkle's eyes widened as Sarge snapped at her. "Alright, no joking around Sir Gloom'n'doom..." The party had no trouble getting inside the Amenra Beach Resort this time, and at the foyer they met with the rhinotaur couple they were looking for. "Thank you again, Rexie! I don't even remember when we last had a night like this!" "PLEASE, the pleasure is all mine, my beautiful rhododendron! But look, there comes the fellow you can really thank. It was Sir Boomingham over here who gave me tips how to treat a lady." "Really? You managed to teach something to this bonehead? Color me impressed!"

The ogre guard greeted Heckz at the gates to the Menagerie. "Back so soon? You must really love the beasts we keep here. It is 25 gold for entry, as you know."
Cutcobra Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Heckz gives the gold and heads directly to Marmaduc. He's apparentley quite annoyed and isn't scared of the guard this time. "Trust me, I'd skin each one of them. Too bad Marmadoodoo likes to keep them."
Zepher Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Boomingham bows. "Love is love. I walked him through some steps, but one way or another what you've got is because of him and you, not because of me. And I'd love to join you two on the beach." Boomingham takes out his handkerchief and wipes his brow. "Might kill me, though." He takes off his hood and cape. "Maybe I can find somewhere to hang these for a bit. What do you say, chaps? You're both of the sea, right?"
Sandy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Heckz gives the gold and heads directly to Marmaduc. He's apparentley quite annoyed and isn't scared of the guard this time. The guard let Heckz through the gate. As he approached the main building where Marmaduc's office was supposed to be, Heckz saw five werelions grouped in front of it. "This is it, guys!

Pyrovisionary Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Sarge smiles at rex's success, though that smile leaves when he isn't credited with the Ring's origin. He nods at Rex's offer to go to the beach. It was better than paying, and they needed that key afterall.
Khorne Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Eric filled up with joy when he saw the Rhino couple happily reunited. But not really. In fact, he didn't even care. All he cared about now, was getting to the beach and see what the Resort was famous for. "Aye, let's find out if the view is really that amazing, after all."
Sandy Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 He nods at Rex's offer to go to the beach. It was better than paying, and they needed that key afterall. The resort owner Sed was about to say something, but a glance from the rhinotaurs silenced him. The party were thus allowed to enter the private beach despite not being customers. Just like the rumors had said, it was occupied mostly by beautiful women in tiny bathing suits. There was also a familiar person digging around the sand: Doctor Fahad Jiivni from the Grand Library. "Where. Can. It. Be?!" As the party passed an obese man in a lounging chair, he stopped them. "Garçons! Oui, I am talking to you! I require l'assistance ouf masculine men like you."

Cutcobra Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Heckz overhears the werelions and whispers something to the ogre guard. "Excuse me, but I believe these warriors don't mean well. Like the activists. I saw some of them at the Palace District and they were saying words like 'assassination' and 'Marmaduc'. You can trust me, can't you?" Satisfied that he beat the feral beasts, Heckz goes to meet Marmaduc.
Zepher Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Boomingham leaves the strange speaking man to his fellow quest mates and approaches the doctor. "Howdy there, chappo. Any luck? Maybe an extra hand might help out! You sure you lost it here?"

Satisfied that he beat the feral beasts, Heckz goes to meet Marmaduc. "What?! Hey, you there!!!" Heckz snuck inside Marmaduc's office as the ogre began to drag the werelions out of the Menagerie. But he didn't know that there were six members of the Rakshasa until he encountered the last one conversing with Marmaduc - the richest man in Salmanda. "Ah, you must be the valiant hero of Heroica I've kept hearing about. You exposed those pesky animal rights activists, and for that I owe you my gratitude. Let me thank you by telling you what I just told Miss Firemane here." "Err, I am confident we, the Rakshasa, can uncover those relics for you without any trouble, Master Marmaduc." "Now now, Nalah, a little competition will only motivate you further. I believe you are not without allies, either, Mister Brutenhal, so let the best group of treasure hunters win!"

However, my own men have failed to procure those treasures for me, so I turn to you fearless adventurers. I will give you coordinates for the location of each treasure, so all you have to do is go fetch them.” ~Marmaduc, Collector of All Things Rare Reward: “500 gold for each of the treasures brought to me.” Gobbledegook’s Gem (Hidden at the Buried Pyramid in Luxor Dunes) Tyrant Statue (Hidden at the Wreckage of the Titaanic in Shipwreck Shore) Crystal Skull (Hidden at the Beastmen’s Lair in Kalakita Bog) "Now, have you any further questions?" "No, Master Marmaduc. Rest assured that the Rakshasa will not disappoint you!" Nalah Firemane glared at Heckz in disdain. Boomingham leaves the strange speaking man to his fellow quest mates and approaches the doctor. "Howdy there, chappo. Any luck? Maybe an extra hand might help out! You sure you lost it here?" The doctor shook his head sadly. "Nothing. So far. I. Already. Searched. The interior. I just. Hope. It has not. Washed away. With the tide..."
Cutcobra Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 "Now, have you any further questions?" "No, Master Marmaduc. Rest assured that the Rakshasa will not disappoint you!" "Really, Lord Marmaduc? Please, tell me how many times you have heard of Heroica. Now tell me how many times you have heard of this unknown 'Rakashassa' group. Exactly. Even if you do trust this, I believe I just saw a group of her kind being thrown out for some kind of trouble." Hearing about this, Heckz quickly goes to the Amrada Resort.
Khorne Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 "Garçons! Oui, I am talking to you! I require l'assistance ouf masculine men like you." Eric raised an eyebrow and then unbeared a wide wolfish grin when he heard the nobleman's exposition. If this fat sack of lard thought Eric would be his errand boy, he was sorely mistaken. Nevertheless, the Nord subdued his wicked smile and turned it in for a more friendly, assuring one. "I'll see what I can do, sir", Eric replied to the fat nobleman and turned heel, overviewing the beach. There was Boomingham who was helping the overgrown prawn look for his key and then there were some lovely ladies enjoying the sea. Eric stepped towards the woman wearing a golden bikini. He felt like opening with the over-the-top: "Do you know why this is called the Amenra Resort? Probaby because 'Amen! Rawr!' is all I can think of when I see a woman like you.", but instead he chose for a tried and true classic. "How you doin'?"

Hearing about this, Heckz quickly goes to the Amrada Resort. "What are you talking about? Master Marmaduc, if I may be excused..." "By all means, go! The sooner I get to hold those legendary relics in my hands, the better." Heckz snickered as he passed the werelions arguing with the hulking ogre by the gates. He quickly made his way to the Amenra Beach Resort, where he saw the others at the beach below. He tried to get to them, but the Anubian bouncer blocked his way. The proprietor walked to him. "What's the rush, young man? Looking for a room at our resort, perhaps?" "How you doin'?" The woman glanced at Eric, sizing him up with her eyes. "I am bored, to put it frankly. There's nothing to do here but watch that dorky insectoid frantically searching for the key he lost. Even his act is becoming so dull I might soon tell him that I found that damned key days ago." A cheeky smirk spread on the woman's face.
Cutcobra Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 "What's the rush, young man? Looking for a room at our resort, perhaps?" "Don't call me 'young man', old man. You might very well know who I am and I expect a full apology from this facility for not allowing me entrance before. I might just not call the guards if I was offered a free room." Heckz patiently waits for his free room.

A cheeky smirk spread on the woman's face. "Hehehe", Eric returned a smirk of his own, equally cheeky. "Let's make the poor sod search a little longer", he said as he sat down in the sand next to the woman. "So, what's your name, you lovely rascal?"

Heckz patiently waits for his free room. The proprietor lifted up his glasses to glare at Heckz. "Which guards are you talking about? 'Cause the only guards guarding this place are working under me." Heckz could feel the Anubian bouncer move behind him. "So, what's your name, you lovely rascal?" "You may call me Goldie, but don't try to pry anything more out of me. I am here on a vacation, I do not want to be reminded of my dreadfully dull life outside this resort. Let us talk about you, instead. You seem like the man who can entertain a girl." Periwinkle had quietly moved behind the pair. "Sure, for a night", she grumbled. "Then he'll dump you along with the contents of his chamber pot." Goldie glanced at Periwinkle and grinned. "Oh? Do you drag all your conquests behind you, then?"

'Cause the only guards guarding this place are working under me." "I only see one guard and I'm sure four of my fully armed men are inside your beach right now. I'm friends with the Magister, Marmadoodoo and one of the soon to be leaders of those clerics so go ahead; Give me a 50 gold discount or try me" Edited June 20, 2015 by Cutcobra
Zepher Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Boomingham frowns. "Not much to be done but to put yourself to work, huh? No idea where you dropped it?" He whips out his own shovel and starts to help digging. He glances at Eric jealously. "Lucky bastard."

But I'll give you an "A" for the effort. "Oh, you are with the rhinotaurs? You can find them at the beach. I will permit you entry this one time. Just one hint: the next time you drop names, make sure you pronounce them right. Master 'Marmadoodoo' happens to own this place, and he has specifically instructed me not to practice charity."
