Heroica RPG - Quest #145: Rescue My People!

[Palathadric]

Arriving at the designated meeting spot in a location far, far away, the heroes are only met by the sight of...well...a wall...and a closed window in it too. It seemed their employer was running a little late. Perhaps now would be a good time to get to know each other.

QM Note: Here we go! Check over stats to make sure they're good. I had to do a lot of formatting on some of them.

Mencot, you hadn't updated your gold. Also, I have no idea what the Charion Beetle Horns are or do or where they came from.

Pedguin, please post a link to your stats in your signature. Also, I don't know how to get your picture to appear in the topic.

[Pedguin]

Looks like I'm the first one here. Not even the employer. I wait patiently for the others.

OOC: Stats look good. I should have a potion, but that's an error on my part. And for the other stuff, I'll fix it.

Edited December 8, 2015 by Pedguin

[Mencot]

OoC: Thanks for having me, Palathadric on your quest. This is gonna be fun.

Sorry for forgeting to update the gold , everything else should be good.

Keliim and his wolf leave the marketplace and the, other places... they just walk somewhere, to the designated rendezvous spot. At some point the wolf has gone of to do his own thing.

The Big man arrives to the place to see that nobody is there, a big grey building. He looks around, "First on th' spot, I guess then! Guess I´ll wait around." He walks around the place, and then he see that he wasn´t alone, there is a man (Cree) there. He walks up to him and says,

"Helloo thaur, Mah name ist Keliim. Who art ye?"

Quintessa arrived to the meeting point, fashionably late. She nods at the two men present.

"Greetings, peasants! Could you tell Us where We could locate a band of noble heroes embarking on a grand quest? We seem to have lost our way."

[Pedguin]

"I'm Cree, only the noblest mopag warrior out there." I say to both of them. "And I guess we are the band of noble heroes. Not like you look any more like a hero than us, granny."

[K-Nut]

Kheyli made her way to the designated meeting spot, making mental notes about her companions as she went. She remains silent as she leans against the wall, waiting for her employer.

[Mencot]

"I'm Cree, only the noblest mopag warrior out there." I say to both of them. "And I guess we are the band of noble heroes. Not like you look any more like a hero than us, granny."

"Braw to meit ye, Cree.

Quintessa arrived to the meeting point, fashionably late. She nods at the two men present.

"Greetings, peasants! Could you tell Us where We could locate a band of noble heroes embarking on a grand quest? We seem to have lost our way."

Keliim looks at the old woman, white hair, rolling pin and a apron on top of heavy armor! He also try to look for some other persons because she was clearly speaking in plural.

This was the strangest sight Keliim had seen in awhile... the old women was clearly lost and confused.

The big man stepped a bit closer to the old woman to help her out and asked in a load but talking slowly to her. "IST EVERYTHIN' FINE MA'M? THOU SEEM LOST, WHAT ART YE LOOKIN' REALLY FORT?"

[Palathadric]

A slight scraping can be heard coming from somewhere below the heroes, but nothing of great concern.

I'll give you a little while to chat things over. Please check the Group PM I sent out last night and post all Out of Character comments therein. Happy to have you all.

[Sandy]

"I'm Cree, only the noblest mopag warrior out there." I say to both of them. "And I guess we are the band of noble heroes. Not like you look any more like a hero than us, granny."

"Oh..." Quintessa said, having a hard time believing this motley crew were her questmates. "Then you must all be newcomers to this trade, like Us. Very well, We shall have a grand old time regardless. You may refer to Us as Quintessa, no need for formal titles. Care for a candy cane?"

Quintessa took out three caramel canes from the pocket of her apron and handed them towards the others, including the silent fairy girl that had just arrived. "You take one too, young Miss. We gather you are among Our entourage?"

The big man stepped a bit closer to the old woman to help her out and asked in a load but talking slowly to her. "IST EVERYTHIN' FINE MA'M? THOU SEEM LOST, WHAT ART YE LOOKIN' REALLY FORT?"

"My, you must be hard of hearing, poor lad", Quintessa wallowed, shaking her head with deep empathy. She then shouted back. "WE ARE JUST FINE, SIR! WE WERE JUST INQUIRING WETHER YOU WOULD ENJOY A CANDY CANE!"

[Mencot]

"Oh..." Quintessa said, having a hard time believing this motley crew were her questmates. "Then you must all be newcomers to this trade, like Us. Very well, We shall have a grand old time regardless. You may refer to Us as Quintessa, no need for formal titles. Care for a candy cane?"

"Braw to meit ye too, Quintessa. 'nd aye I canst take a cane, Thank thee. But who art "WE" ye keep talkin' 'bout?" The big man still looks around to see who she would be refering too.

[Pedguin]

"Braw to meit ye too, Quintessa. 'nd aye I canst take a cane, Thank thee. But who art "WE" ye keep talkin' 'bout?" The big man still looks around to see who she would be refering too.

Yes, who is "We?"

[Palathadric]

As the two male heroes interrogate Quintessa, they suddenly feel dirt and pebbles flick up against their legs.

[Pedguin]

"That must be our employer. Or at least, I hope it is." I stand back and wait for something to happen.

[K-Nut]

Kheyli stumbles as the ground shifts a little under her feet. "That was... odd..." she gently pokes her blade around the hole.

[Mencot]

The big still talking to Quintessa, wondering about her strange appearance... is also interrupted by the earth rumble. "What wast th't?" He looks at the ground Kheyli is poking at

[Palathadric]

Kheyli stumbles as the ground shifts a little under her feet. "That was... odd..." she gently pokes her blade around the hole.

A small shriek, sounds from the hole followed by a little face popping out.

The mouse springs out of the hole, hands over its head, skittering around a little bit, then pauses, as if realizing no one understand it, and turns back to the hole. Disappearing for a few moments, it returns with a collection of four "Sylvania's Cowls" and gestures for the heroes to put them on.

4x Sylvania's Cowl (Grants "Animal Talk"; Headwear)

What will the heroes do?

[Pedguin]

I take one and equip it. "What's wrong? Why do you need us? Where's our employer!?"

[Palathadric]

The mouse appears to breathe more freely now that one of the heroes has equipped the cowl.

"Good day, heroes. My, you're a strange lot. I would have thought that...never mind. It appears that we have made the mistake of not having any Rangers in the party. That is no good. Hopefully, these will help in our communication. Oh, by the way, you can call me Cheapy...The Cheap Reaper if you like, butCheepy is certainly easier."

[Pedguin]

"Okay, what seems to be the problem, Cheapy?

[Mencot]

The big man looks at the hole and the tiny tiny mouse that runs out of it. At first he doesn´t even notice it because it is so small and he thinks it is ofcourse insignificant for this quest. But then when it brings out four cowls from the hole he notices it."What be wron' wee fellow? Oh, thou want us to wear this?" The big man puts on the cowl.

The mouse appears to breathe more freely now that one of the heroes has equipped the cowl.

"Good day, heroes. My, you're a strange lot. I would have thought that...never mind. It appears that we have made the mistake of not having any Rangers in the party. That is no good. Hopefully, these will help in our communication. Oh, by the way, you can call me Cheapy...The Cheap Reaper if you like, butCheepy is certainly easier."

"Ah, what a useful thing, Now I canst understan' ye. Good day to ye, Cheap Reaper?"

[K-Nut]

Kheyli equips the cowl. "That's not something you see every day..."

[Sandy]

"Braw to meit ye too, Quintessa. 'nd aye I canst take a cane, Thank thee. But who art "WE" ye keep talkin' 'bout?" The big man still looks around to see who she would be refering too.

Yes, who is "We?"

"We refers to Our person, naturally."

4x Sylvania's Cowl (Grants "Animal Talk"; Headwear)

What will the heroes do?

Quintessa looked at the raggedy cowl with distain, and pushed it into her apron-pocket-of-holding.

"We are more comfortable wearing Our armor, thank you. You people just translate what the little vermin is talking about, if that is alright with you."

[Mencot]

"We refers to Our person, naturally."

Quintessa looked at the raggedy cowl with distain, and pushed it into her apron-pocket-of-holding.

"We are more comfortable wearing Our armor, thank you. You people just translate what the little vermin is talking about, if that is alright with you."

The big man looked that the old woman and rolled his eyes and said, "Ofcourse thy Highness." Then he turned back to the mouse but thought to himself that ofcourse it was a good Idea to change back to the helmet when a battle situation raised. The big man got close to the mouse and got down on one knee to get closer to it.

"So Mr Mouse, Cheapy.. Cheap Reaper? Why we here at this wall, why be ye here? Ye knowst anythin' 'bout th's?

[Palathadric]

Quintessa looked at the raggedy cowl with distain, and pushed it into her apron-pocket-of-holding.

Cheepy scowls at Quintessa, if rats can do that , but goes on anyway.

"I am the representative of his lordship, Bonaparte, come to escort you to the place of our meeting, presuming you are the heroes that were supposed to be here at this time. I am sure Mr Bonaparte is dreadfully sorry that he could not come in person, but the situation in the city is dangerous for him right now. He can't just walk about anywhere for fear of being seen. I'm sure in your line of work you understand this sort of thing...anyway, we should be off...I'm not sure if fancy dress over here will want...ah, never mind, I'm sure she could have her own role to play."

Cheeky grins.

"What might the rodent be chirping about so fervently?" Quintessa inquired from the others, seeing the rat's intense glares. "Perhaps it felt left out when We did not give it sweets as well..." She then picked an oat biscuit from her pocket and held it for the rat.
