Heroica RPG - Quest #138: Fade To Black

[JimBee]

"I'm assuming you decline Karie's offer of the dress, then?"

I'll wear the Skull Mask, and fully wear the Catsuit. Jinnipher, if you want, I can lend you my Glittering Dress. It's a little skimpy, but at least people won't recognize you for your armour."

She eyed the dress with disdain. "Thanks, but there's no way in Hel I'm wearing that."

"Skrall and I can enter the city from a different gate or at a different time or something."

[Lind Whisperer]

Karie rubs her hands together.

"You should all be happy I'm here! I live for this kind of stuff!

"Well, then, Madam Harlequin, how exactly should I disguise myself?

"Keep it to yourself. My gear is reliable. Although, I would like to try on those greaves..."

Lind snickered. "Going right for the good pieces. You should have trained as rogue..." He stretched. "The only thing here that I could use is the greaves - I'm fine with saving my "dibs" until something else better drops."

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall hefted the hammer shaking his head at the deceased Bulk before turning to the Party, "Jinnipher's idea is sound, we'll approach Mermont from another direction while the rest of ya enter disguised, we'll try to pass off as these unfortunate two." The hunter lifted the remaining loot, "Karie, any interest in anything? You and Warlen haven't gotten much."

[Endgame]

"And what names should we use? Obviously Melody and Bulk for Jinnipher and Skrall, but for the rest of us..."

Sandman pauses for a moment, seemingly contemplating something.

"...Call me Gabriel. Even after we're done with the disguises."

"A true thespian."

"Darn right!" Karie replies, holding up all of her various outfits and items. She cursed under her breath. She should of bought that Kelvin Bros disguise kit off of Sorrow when she had the chance.

She eyed the dress with disdain. "Thanks, but there's no way in Hel I'm wearing that."

"Skrall and I can enter the city from a different gate or at a different time or something."

Karie looked at Jinnipher, teasingly shaking the dress. "I really think you'd look good in this!"

"Well, then, Madam Harlequin, how exactly should I disguise myself?

Karie wasn't fond of the name "Madame Harlequin, and gave the assassin a sideways glance before grinning. "Well, since you've stated you glued that hat onto your head, I was thinking we shave your hair off and then work from there. That hat is not only an eyesore, but it's going to get you turned into a pincushion."

"Karie, any interest in anything? You and Warlen haven't gotten much."

Karie shakes her head. "Give the armour to Jinn. She can use that as part of her disguise. Wear the Mail over the Boots, Jinn. I mean their nice, but who recognize boots over armour?"

"And what names should we use? Obviously Melody and Bulk for Jinnipher and Skrall, but for the rest of us..."

Sandman pauses for a moment, seemingly contemplating something.

"...Call me Gabriel. Even after we're done with the disguises."

Karie moves behind a bush. "I could be Misery? Should I go for a name/personality contrast? Have a depressing name, but an upbeat personality?

And if any of you try and peak, it's nothing impressive. In fact, there's more scars than anything else."

[Endgame]

"You're the thespian." says Gabirel, averting his eyes.

"...Call me Gabriel. Even after we're done with the disguises."

"Okay, Sandman's Gabe. Gotcha."

Karie looked at Jinnipher, teasingly shaking the dress. "I really think you'd look good in this!"

"Seconded - from a purely aesthetic standpoint, not as a reflection of any interior desires or emotions."

Karie wasn't fond of the name "Madame Harlequin, and gave the assassin a sideways glance before grinning. "Well, since you've stated you glued that hat onto your head, I was thinking we shave your hair off and then work from there. That hat is not only an eyesore, but it's going to get you turned into a pincushion."

"...Maybe I could crush it down under my Fez? It's also an eyesore, but it's a completely different eyesore..."

Karie shakes her head. "Give the armour to Jinn. She can use that as part of her disguise. Wear the Mail over the Boots, Jinn. I mean their nice, but who recognize boots over armour?"

"Women. Women recognize boots over armor."

Karie moves behind a bush. "I could be Misery? Should I go for a name/personality contrast? Have a depressing name, but an upbeat personality?

And if any of you try and peak, it's nothing impressive. In fact, there's more scars than anything else."

"Some people like scars..." Lind mused, as he cramped the Fez down around his head, swapping it for the Cloak of Deception.

"Call me Steve - I'll be the odd man out. Shouldn't be too difficult..."

Jinnipher was about to argue more about the dress, but started giggling uncontrollably at the thought of a bald 'Flynn'. "Hah, hah, hahahah!" She covered her mouth with her fingers. "Try not scare the dragon away, Steve. We need to kill it, remember? Heehee..."

Karie shakes her head. "Give the armour to Jinn. She can use that as part of her disguise. Wear the Mail over the Boots, Jinn. I mean their nice, but who recognize boots over armour?

She nodded her thanks.

"So, what's Princess Jenny's name going to be?"

[Endgame]

"You said you glued it on, Steve? I'm fairly certain i could rip it off. Unless you'd rather wear another ridiculous looking hat. And quit fantasizing about your party members."

[Lind Whisperer]

"You said you glued it on, Steve? I'm fairly certain i could rip it off. Unless you'd rather wear another ridiculous looking hat. And quit fantasizing about your party members."

"If you could do that, that'd be great. I've tried, but it's not exactly in a place where I can get very good leverage...

I'm not fantasizing about the other party members - I have a Hero back at the Hall I'm...Oh crumbs...Uh...does anyone know if Annienal Anavar was at the Hall while I was drunk? About normal elf height, slender, really pretty brown hair, and the softest eyes..."

[Endgame]

Gabriel grips onto the top of Steve's? ridiculous looking green hat and...

Roll: 6 - Great Success!

Rips it cleanly off his head.

"There.

I can't say. But if she was, you've got a lot of work to do, loverboy."

Lind happily rubbed his freed head. "I owe you a solid, Ga-"

He paused.

"Gabriel. I owe you a solid, Gabriel."

I can't say. But if she was, you've got a lot of work to do, loverboy."

Li-Steve frowned. "Flowers. Women like flo-

No, she likes books. Books are good.

If we find any books, I call first dibs."

"I realize I am not the one to speak of relationships, but that sounds... hollow.

Warlen, do you have a disguise figured out?"

Edited August 2, 2015 by Endgame

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall handed the Armor to Jinnipher and the Grieves to Warlen. "When yer all done makin' fools of yerself, we still haven't figured out what our plan is once we get to Mermont. We know what's his name has joined the dragon, that only leaves one adviser left."

[Endgame]

"I imagine that you and Melody could pass through the front gates unhindered. Mermont is a walled city. The rest of us would have to go around the perimater and find another way in."

[Lind Whisperer]

"I realize I am not the one to speak of relationships, but that sounds... hollow.

"It's a first step, on a much, much longer road of apology..."

Warlen, do you have a disguise figured out?"

"Since our Party Leader doesn't need it, Warlen could wear my Trickster's Mask of the Human."

Skrall handed the Armor to Jinnipher and the Grieves to Warlen. "When yer all done makin' fools of yerself, we still haven't figured out what our plan is once we get to Mermont. We know what's his name has joined the dragon, that only leaves one adviser left."

"As Assassin, I have some skills at tracking people down...but I'm pretty sure I need some sort of spoor to do so."

"I imagine that you and Melody could pass through the front gates unhindered. Mermont is a walled city. The rest of us would have to go around the perimater and find another way in."

"...There's no way I could borrow one of Skrall's bows and shoot arrows into the walls and climb up them, right?

Just making sure."

"That'll work. Mind me askin' what was with the mask er... helmet? Most folks like lookin' a person in the eye when they're talkin' to 'em."

"...There's no way I could borrow one of Skrall's bows and shoot arrows into the walls and climb up them, right? Just making sure."

"Ya'll have a Mystic Knight with ya, I'm sure ya can figure somethin' out."

"Well it's not what I wanted but it'll do." She donned the armor.

"What more is there there to plan? We walk in, we find the dragon, and we kill it. Any complications and we'll deal with them. Don't worry, Bulk, you're with someone who grew up in that city," she said with a wink.

[Waterbrick Down]

"Yer also carryin' a fine blade there as well, don't ferget." At the elf's encouragement Skrall packed up his equipment, trading his Lucky Doubloon for his Paper Doll. "So comfortin'. Let's move Jin... er Melody."

[Endgame]

"The mask?" said Gabriel. "I had it from an old construction job. That's why my initials were carved into it. It blocks sun glare. Useful for sniping."

QM Note: Just need Warlen's disguise.

Lind brushed off his clothes, and flipped through his decks. "I'm all set to move.

Before the issue comes up, I vote Madam Witch leads our half of the party."

"Hm, that is true." She hefted the Brine Blade. "After you, mighty leader."

She looked back at the other four party members with a hint of a smile. "Don't screw it up."

"You trust me to keep them in line, I hope." says Gabriel, displaying more emotion than his typical state. His norm, of course, being none at all. Was the Fog changing him...?

She gave the Sandman a curious look. "Yes. Stick to the mission. Though I don't need to tell you that, uh, Gabriel."
