Heroica RPG - Quest #136: The Sorcerer's Stone

[Purpearljellyblob]

Then tries to find some of the poison the dragon spited out, and dips his weapons in the poison.

Ignoring the situation at hand, Germ approaches the dragon and the six and fearlessly look for poison to dip his weapons with. The Heroes could see Grigorlis' eyes wide open as he tracks Germ's movement. He doesn't seem to be pleased with Germ attempting to hitch a ride on his abilities.

Germ finds a pool of deadly poison near one of the pillars, will Germ dip his weapons into the poison?

Na'im nods at Bain"I see. Yes at the time when I left Fenario the six of them were firmly locked up undeground. Things have greatly changed in Fenario since my departure it appears-you must tell me about the situation underground one of these days" Na'im turns to Girgolis "Well met master dragon. It is a rare pleaure to meet a fighter quite so esteemed as yourself-I used to be a vindictor of the brotherhood of the red angel you know-perhaps you remember me...or maybe not." Na'im coughs rather hastily "At any rate can you tell us where your rider is and why we should rush ot his aid, while you seem greatly...weakened yourself?" Na'ims tone is not disprespectful but he speaks with a lightness of tone as if he and the dragon, being both fighters of old were just old friends

"I am not saying we should abandon master Girgolis, but perhaps we should send a group to check on Eckmar as well?" Na'im says anxiously

"Do not be rude, Eckmar is no rider. If you think their relationship be like a knight on a horse, then you are truly wrong. Their relationship and bond with each other is greater than strong. I have no words for that but I believe Grigorlis when he said that. That is the reason I am being put on the spot. Eckmar must be upstairs behind one of the doors and he must be in danger." Bain interrupts. "We should absolutely stick together, these... whatever are not as weak as you imagine them to be. They are defeatable, our kin once did so, many times, but they cannot be killed."

"Yeah, what if ordinary weapons cannot hurt these ghostly entities? I really want to save the dragon but is the risk worth it? The elves said that Latte should be coming here soon... unless they were bluffing."

"Which side are you on now, Mhinak? Seeding words of doubt amongst us while you wait for your friendly Star Elven allies to arrive?" says Bain, uncomfortably.

Miderun stares up at the enormous dragon, her eyes lighting up and her bandaged arm tensing slightly as if on reflex. But this creature was no wild animal...supposedly. "Fine, we will attack these uzard creatures. It had better not take us long..."

Before the Heroes could do anything, they could hear the six conversing with each other.

"Are they going to continue to stand there and watch? I am easy, I am enjoying what I am doing." says the gargoyle in a deep and croaky voice.

"Is it always that easy on the surface? Huh Fester? How about that joker that is scrambling around for dragon spit that has no effect on us? Kinda looks like our Lurch here. Hehehe..." says the dark figure with the crown, in a somewhat normal voice.

"Uh... Uh... Huh?" the dark hooded figure simply moans.

"Enough of small talk, especially you Gomex." says the black haired woman, in a fierce and low voice to the dark figure with the crown.

"This dragon is so pitiful, like our dear Eudora here who has no eyes. I cannot bear to let the dragon live on and suffer like that! Morticia is right! Focus!" cries the pale and grim looking figure in the pointed hat.

"Umm----Maaa----Onuoo----zuuuwoo----hummm-----baaooos----diiiii----..." the figure with no eyes simply chants away.

Bobby had never seen a creature like the dragon before. "Yo, bros. Here's how this is going to play, aight? You all go save Eckmar and Polly. Take the key or whatevs." Bobby glances over his shoulder at Na'im. "Use that book, yo. See if you can do some shiz to these weirdos with it. But like, we didn't move those rocks for nothing." Forgoing attacking the underworlders directly, Bobby tries his best to break the chains holding the dragon. He continues this attempt until knocked unconscious.

I cannot bear to let the dragon live on and suffer like that!

Keeping an eye one the"ghost". Dips his "dart" & throwing knife in the poison. Then noticing the dragon give him a look he returns with a look of "what" then with his telepathic or the dragons ability he said: I am just trying to make the best of a bad situation here. Do you really want us to save you friend first? I might be able to get some of these guys to chase me for a little bit.

Noticing them talking about him he responded: Who said I going to use this on you guys?

You are the ones that is causing the suffering. All you have to do is STOP!

Double check for pathway to the upstairs. And ready to run up into it. Then stating to the "ghosts". I wonder if a "demons" life force is better "tasting" than a "dragons"?

[KotZ]

"So should we attack or not?"

[Yzalirk]

"Which side are you on now, Mhinak? Seeding words of doubt amongst us while you wait for your friendly Star Elven allies to arrive?" says Bain, uncomfortably.

Mhinak makes a distinct deep toned laugh,

"Not on yours. I noticed the table back where the elves were. It appeared that they were positioned to to defend for an attack. You have been saying that the Star Elves constantly attack your people. You, you are just a petty liar. I do not believe that we should be helping you. We are not your henchmen."

Mhinak then turns to the party,

"You are all great people and I feel that I am blessed to have met you all however, I do not agree with your ideas in helping Bain. I just want to return the artifacts and find the Brown Nekrastone. Getting involved in a civil war is not why I signed up to come here. Now, I am going forth to Valasabhad like the two Star Elves instructed us to go. I do not expect for you guys to follow me for I do not share the same opinions as you. But before I go, there is something important I must ask..."

Mhinak points his attention to Elnath in particular,

"Do you have anything that Polly may have used or held onto? I think Inki might be able to smell around to make sure that Polly is here and if she is, I will stay... for her."

[Enceladus]

Mhinak makes a distinct deep toned laugh,

"Not on yours. I noticed the table back where the elves were. It appeared that they were positioned to to defend for an attack. You have been saying that the Star Elves constantly attack your people. You, you are just a petty liar. I do not believe that we should be helping you. We are not your henchmen."

Mhinak points his attention to Elnath in particular,

"Do you have anything that Polly may have used or held onto? I think Inki might be able to smell around to make sure that Polly is here and if she is, I will stay... for her."

"You would abandon us then just because you dislike some our views?" Na'im says incredously "I may not like or agree Lady Mideruns viewssometimes master Mihnak and I may dislike her methods, but I have stuck through this quest, even though many times I have felt like mutineeing as well-why? Because that is our job and I am here to get the job done, not get distracted by ethics and rights or wrongs.No you wil stay here and finsh the job, yes, to the bitter end, whatever that may be"

"Do not be rude, Eckmar is no rider. If you think their relationship be like a knight on a horse, then you are truly wrong. Their relationship and bond with each other is greater than strong. I have no words for that but I believe Grigorlis when he said that. That is the reason I am being put on the spot. Eckmar must be upstairs behind one of the doors and he must be in danger." Bain interrupts. "We should absolutely stick together, these... whatever are not as weak as you imagine them to be. They are defeatable, our kin once did so, many times, but they cannot be killed."

"Is it always that easy on the surface? Huh Fester? How about that joker that is scrambling around for dragon spit that has no effect on us? Kinda looks like our Lurch here. Hehehe..." says the dark figure with the crown, in a somewhat normal voice.

"Enough of small talk, especially you Gomex." says the black haired woman, in a fierce and low voice to the dark figure with the crown.

"You wrong me Lady Bain. I am perfectly aware of the sacred relationship between a dragon and its rider. But picture this lady Bain-if we rescued master Eckmar. but Lord Girgolis was killed what effect would it have on your Fiancee...the loss would drive him insane. We have no choice lady Bain-If we want to rescue your fiancee intact, mentally as well as physically, then we have to rescue Girgolis as well." Na'im turns to Germ and hands him the prison master key "Do what you will my friend. If all else fails, try to rescue master Eckmar at the expense of GIrgolis."

Na'im also equips the Nimbus-deluxe broomstick

Na'im turns to the shady figures and attempts to distract them with small talk "It's Gomex isn't it? Now tell me master Gomex how did you wretches come to the surface in the first place? The last time I saw you fiends, you were a bunch of shattered corpses on the ground. I was part of the company that slew you the first tiime you know-it seems I have come back to finish the job."

Bobby had never seen a creature like the dragon before. "Yo, bros. Here's how this is going to play, aight? You all go save Eckmar and Polly. Take the key or whatevs." Bobby glances over his shoulder at Na'im. "Use that book, yo. See if you can do some shiz to these weirdos with it. But like, we didn't move those rocks for nothing." Forgoing attacking the underworlders directly, Bobby tries his best to break the chains holding the dragon. He continues this attempt until knocked unconscious.

Na'im hestiates and waits for Miderun's approval before attempting to free the dragon

[Yzalirk]

"You would abandon us then just because you dislike some our views?" Na'im says incredously "I may not like or agree Lady Mideruns viewssometimes master Mihnak and I may dislike her methods, but I have stuck through this quest, even though many times I have felt like mutineeing as well-why? Because that is our job and I am here to get the job done, not get distracted by ethics and rights or wrongs.No you wil stay here and finsh the job, yes, to the bitter end, whatever that may be"

"I do not fight for beliefs that I do not agree with. As far as I am concerned, my job is to help Elnath return the artifacts he has. He is my employer, not Bain. If she needs help, she could have tasked the greatest Fenarian warriors to get Eckmar, not us. Bain has yet to reward us for saving her life and she continues to ask for favors."

Mhinak wipes the sweat from his forehead and turns to Elnath,

"You are our employer, master Elnath, are you not? Do we help the Fenarian or do we proceed to do as the elves have instructed and return the artifacts? What say you?"

[Enceladus]

OOC: Seeing some relatives, so I won't be able to post again until Sunday. CMP has control over Na'ims actions until then

[CMP]

Na'im hestiates and waits for Miderun's approval before attempting to free the dragon

Miderun looks sideways and nods at Na'im. She and the Fenarian attack the ghostly figures, outright ignoring Mhinak at this point.

[Purpearljellyblob]

Forgoing attacking the underworlders directly, Bobby tries his best to break the chains holding the dragon. He continues this attempt until knocked unconscious.

Morticia grins and analyses the situation,

"Looks like these new wardens of the prison have no proper handover from the elves. One can't read the book the Star Elves used to keep us away. The other foolishly tries to break the chains that can be released by the spells from the book. And the third one runs around foolishly like Fester when he was young, well at least Fester is unbreakable. And all of them lack unity, each one of them is doing what is best for themselves, not for the team."

"Don't hurt yourself breaking the chains!" cries the girl, "It makes me sad that when you hurt yourself, you will not be as tasty as before!"

Keeping an eye one the"ghost". Dips his "dart" & throwing knife in the poison. Then noticing the dragon give him a look he returns with a look of "what" then with his telepathic or the dragons ability he said: I am just trying to make the best of a bad situation here. Do you really want us to save you friend first? I might be able to get some of these guys to chase me for a little bit.

"I'd rather die an honourable death than to be assoicated with minds that cared nothing more than furthering the wellbeing of oneself."

Noticing them talking about him he responded: Who said I going to use this on you guys?

You are the ones that is causing the suffering. All you have to do is STOP!

"Didn't your gang just killed the whole garrison of Star Elves here? Who else are you going to use them on? The prisoners upstairs?" Gomex laughs.

"No! Not the prisoners!" Cries the pale figure in the pointy hat as she sobs at Germ, "How much life do they have left? Save some for me, will you? Please? Lurch look-a-like?"

"There is enough for everyone up there, Wednesday." says Fester to the crying girl as he licks his nose and lips, "Humans, Orcs, Fenarians aplenty!"

Double check for pathway to the upstairs. And ready to run up into it. Then stating to the "ghosts". I wonder if a "demons" life force is better "tasting" than a "dragons"?

"You're a demon? Then be like one! I have tons of demon friends! Betray your friends! Stab the dragon in the eye with your sword!" Taunts Fester.

"You will be greatly rewarded!" Snickers Gomex as he pulls out a small pouch and tosses it around, between Fester and Gomex.

"Tehehe..."

"Theeff... Don't be lured in by them, Germ! It is a trap! They cannot be trusted!"

"Not on yours. I noticed the table back where the elves were. It appeared that they were positioned to to defend for an attack. You have been saying that the Star Elves constantly attack your people. You, you are just a petty liar. I do not believe that we should be helping you. We are not your henchmen."

"How much do you know, Mhinak. How do you think we were captured in the first place?"

"You wrong me Lady Bain. I am perfectly aware of the sacred relationship between a dragon and its rider. But picture this lady Bain-if we rescued master Eckmar. but Lord Girgolis was killed what effect would it have on your Fiancee...the loss would drive him insane. We have no choice lady Bain-If we want to rescue your fiancee intact, mentally as well as physically, then we have to rescue Girgolis as well."

"Eckmar and Grigorlis always put each other before self, that is the extent of their relationship. But very well, Na'im, we cannot let these monsters do as they please."

Na'im turns to the shady figures and attempts to distract them with small talk "It's Gomex isn't it? Now tell me master Gomex how did you wretches come to the surface in the first place? The last time I saw you fiends, you were a bunch of shattered corpses on the ground. I was part of the company that slew you the first tiime you know-it seems I have come back to finish the job."

"If you reckon underground is the only place we can fit in, you are wrong! We have gotten smarter and if you think only the Fenarians can keep us deep underground, then you are again, wrong! We made many allies underground and found ways to avoid the Fenarians! But we didn't anticipate the Star Elves to twart our multiple attempts to make surface! But.. but... but, I should thank you nevertheless, because... look, you have killed all the Star Elves here for us!" says Gomex haughtily.

Mhinak wipes the sweat from his forehead and turns to Elnath,

"You are our employer, master Elnath, are you not? Do we help the Fenarian or do we proceed to do as the elves have instructed and return the artifacts? What say you?"

"We should have a couple of days more, isn't it? Didn't we agree with Bain to save Eckmar in exchange for her to help us hunt down the Brown Nekrastone? Then we return everything and get the hell out of here... right?" Elnath looks at Mhinak and the party for confirmation.

Miderun looks sideways and nods at Na'im. She and the Fenarian attack the ghostly figures, outright ignoring Mhinak at this point.

"AHHH!" screams Wednesday, "Here they come!"

"Leave the dragon for now, he is almost done. Let's take over this prison once and for all." Commands Morticia as her eyes glows white and bright.

[Yzalirk]

After hearing the ghostly figure's plan, Mhinak's face turns pale,

"You bastards."

Mhinak turns to Elnath,

"I suppose you are right. Just let it be known that we cannot get too involved with what is going on around Spesialia otherwise, we are never going to leave. Being in this prison feels like it has been an eternity."

Mhinak turns to the party,

"After hearing what that... thing said, we cannot allow them to escape. I believe those non-sentient beings will do more harm than we can possibly imagine. Saving the dragon is beyond our capabilities, he is too weak to move. I knew killing those Star Elves was not a good idea, look at the new danger we face..."

[samurai-turtle]

OoC: It looks like I will be busy all next week and probably will not be online, so party leader can "boss" me around for the fight.

After listing to the "ghost" responds with: You "Atomic Sucking Ghost" are not to smart. You should try to make as many "friends" as possible. Then talking to them aside: That way you could "use" them for later purposes.

Then talking to the "dragon" after noticing the "ghost" charging: Think of me as you wish but if this goes badly, we will both be in the same place after wards.

Mhinak turns to the party,

I knew killing those Star Elves was not a good idea, look at the new danger we face..."

Oh, please they were going to gust kill us off, that I am pretty sure. Then looking at Inki: Is he going to help us get rid of these "Atomic Sucking Ghost" or is he going to be his usually helpful self?

[Purpearljellyblob]

After listing to the "ghost" responds with: You "Atomic Sucking Ghost" are not to smart. You should try to make as many "friends" as possible. Then talking to them aside: That way you could "use" them for later purposes.

"No stabbing? Geez... Not evil enough to align with us!" mocks Gomex as he tosses the pouch at Fester.

"I suppose all of them aren't evil enough to hang out with us. In that case, I shall keep the reward to meself!" Fester opens the pouch and gobbles up a glowing green lamp, several grating stones, turkey and chicken legs, a pair of smelly socks and what seems like an endless amount of gold. "Slurp. All digested and gone!"

"Come on out Pubert and Pugsley!" Commands Morticia as she summons her minions.

Pubert and Pugsley suddenly appear infront of the Heroes, both in the midst of a conversation.

"Daaayumm, did you hear that shyt with mister eff? A bunch of surface dwellers juz got slam-dunked! News everywhere, this shyt is down, bruhh."

"Daaayuuum. Too bad I ain't there with some sick fowl!"

"Yuh bruhh... How I wish I am as swag as mister eff, eff everyone around!"

"Enough of chatter! Finish up the dragon and suck all of them dry!"

"You should not have done that, Gargoyle. I guess now I will have to rip you open and take a grating stone from your stomach!"

Mhinak shoots Fester from Back Row.

[Enceladus]

"Daaayumm, did you hear that shyt with mister eff? A bunch of surface dwellers juz got slam-dunked! News everywhere, this shyt is down, bruhh."

"Daaayuuum. Too bad I ain't there with some sick fowl!"

"Yuh bruhh... How I wish I am as swag as mister eff, eff everyone around!"

"Freinds of yours young master Bucks? They could certinly pass for you upon merely listening to them!" Na'im says with a chuckle, but turning to inspect the party, the smile soon vanishes from his face. Beaten, bruised and exhausted (mostly), were they in any position to take on these spectres? "Lady Kiray, you are in no position to take down these fiends-and I fear we shall need your help before this battle is won-let me heal you briefly." Na'im says crisply

Na'im heals Kiray from the back row "It will take us some kind of mirciale to make it through this" he mutters to himself through gritted teeth

Kiray attacks Morticia from the front. "What an odd group of creatures," she says, half to herself.

[Zepher]

Bobby stares at the figures. His weapon will do nothing, he can tell. With an angry cry he turns to Germ. "Bro. Let's fly. You and me, take the key and then get Eckmar and Polly. We ain't gonna be able to do jack to these dudes without some reinforcements. The others will have to like hold them off while we're going."

[samurai-turtle]

Mhinak shoots Fester from Back Row.

Noticing what Mhinak is targeting ask him. Are you sure that "gun" is strong enough to penetrate his "hide"?

Kiray attacks Morticia from the front. "What an odd group of creatures," she says, half to herself.

Then noticing Kiray. Do you think any of your weapons will hurt them? Plus, that "eyeless one" (Eudora) looks like it can blind some one but if you use your "new shield" it looks like it will stop that problem.

Bobby stares at the figures. His weapon will do nothing, he can tell. With an angry cry he turns to Germ. "Bro. Let's fly. You and me, take the key and then get Eckmar and Polly. We ain't gonna be able to do jack to these dudes without some reinforcements. The others will have to like hold them off while we're going."

Taking a second to figure out what he is saying he responded with: I was wonder if that what the "orc" (Miderun) wants us to do? Then looking at her for confirmation to do it. He get ready to fall back (flee?) with Bobby and any one else going with them.

OoC: Just a heads up I probably will not be back online until Friday. (Busy at work.)

[CMP]

Are we not supposed to be fighting these guys? Our attacks will barely even scratch these enemies and we can't do anything to them.

Bobby stares at the figures. His weapon will do nothing, he can tell. With an angry cry he turns to Germ. "Bro. Let's fly. You and me, take the key and then get Eckmar and Polly. We ain't gonna be able to do jack to these dudes without some reinforcements. The others will have to like hold them off while we're going."

Miderun glances at Bobby, a bit pained in her decision, but even she can see that this battle is almost lost before it begins.

"...Be quick. Tarok ezka dir okal, ceznd."

She turns her attention to the enemies.

"Kiray, use your Rito blade, these things will not be hit by magic."

Fixed the passive special, levels and health of some. They are not supposed to be 5 round battles, just fyi.

[KotZ]

Kiray uses her Rito Blade.

[Zepher]

Bobby hesitates as he begins to flee. "Germ, can you handle this yourself? I think I should actually stay, yo. But don't pull any crazy shiz, please, my dude." Bobby weighs carefully how much he can trust the demon... he still couldn't get a read on him. "Like, just save Polly and Eckmar and bring them back here, dude." Turning back to the battle... "I got Gomex, yo!" Bobby attacks Gomex from the back row. "Na'im, after you fix up Kiray we gotta heal that dragon!"

"All in good time young master Bucks, all in good time. Let us begin with what we know we can do first-a dragons physiology is very different to that of a human or an elf, therfore healing it may be more of a challenge." Says Na'im reassuringly

"It seems you have yet to learn the talent of patience young master Bucks." Adds Na'im

"If a dragon can be injured from a pointy object like a human or elf can, then I am sure it can be healed like a human or elf can."

[Enceladus]

"If a dragon can be injured from a pointy object like a human or elf can, then I am sure it can be healed like a human or elf can."

"Spoken like a true warrior. It seems brawn isn't everything is it lady Nayasto?" Says Na'im haughtily, looking over Kiray's collection of weapons with some disdain "You see lady Nayasto, if you ever grow tired of bashing peoples heads in and decide to relinquish the sword, you will come to realise that healing is a much more delicate and imprecise art than swordsmanship or even spellcasting -particularly given the lack of finesse in battle in this day and age. With healing, and especially under the heat of battle, I fail as often as I succeed-sometimes I feel brimming with etheric energy yet other times I feel as drained as if I had run from Eubric to Luosh. Indeed, I have my work cut out keeping you lot all on your feet in the first place!"
