Palathadric Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 "We are heroes of Heroica, hired by your friend to aid the distressed animals of this farm. We were informed you had instructions for us, about some items we are supposed to gather." The big man nods his head "Aye to what th' auld lady said. We wert told 'bout somekind of "Sign"." "Oh...um...of course. Heroes. So...umm...yes, instructions. Yes, yes, there are certainly items that we need to collect. Very important items. ...Er...Pemo didn't happen to tell you anything about the items you were supposed to collect, eh? "Ah, yes, the sign!" *nods sagaciously* Quote

Now, will you tell us what we need to know, or will you just keep wasting our time?" Quintessa eyed Pimky sternly, with all the regal authority of a sixty-year old Queen Mother. Quote

Kheyli crosses her arms. "I'm not sure this pig even knows what she's talking about," she scowls. "Now what would give you that impression? I do know what I'm talking about. I'm not wasting your time. Your questions were just not very specific. Some of you hardly seem to have mouths. How do I know what you're up to...well, you shall just have to follow me. The heroes are led in a maze of different directions. "Let's stop to regain our breath, here. Where did you guys say you were from and how do you know Pemo?" Quote
Mencot Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) He looks around, "Good tae get away to a bit of a safer place, so th't we canst speak more. We already run into so problems at th' barn back th're." "As said, we art heroes fram Heroica, 'nd mah name ist Keliim. We we'ret hir'd by Pemo fo a rescue quest or he said it wast ye who actually who hast ask'd for help withst th's. 'nd we wh'rt told 'bout somekind of sign th't we need'd to obtain to help in th's cause." The big man makes a gesture with his hand at the party and says "'nd here we art to help."

I thought for a minute...um...never mind. Follow me..." The heroes, once again, are led in a variety of different directions before they look down from a hill on the road and see a horse-driven carriage approaching. "That wagon is loaded with goods stolen from our farm. There are some specific items inside that you can use to show the animals...um...what they need to see. Pemo will understand when you bring them to him. You all look like you are ready for a fight and capable fighters. I hope you're more capable than the man down there. Good luck! I'll be right behind you. Oh...erm...any questions?" Quote
Sandy Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 "Can we not sort this one out by talking? Sir Cree, why don't you try to be diplomatic towards that gentleman, and maybe he will relieve himself from the items to us without a fight." Quote
Mencot Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 "Aye, I feel th' same as Quintessa. And gives a bad look at Cree, because of his strong need of "killing everyone he meets". Talkin' wouldst be much smarter move here." He turns to Pimky, "Canst ye just say what th' items art 'nd we will speak withst th' man if we couldst get them? 'nd just out of intrest, howst do ye know th't he ist a thief, does he usually visit th' farm 'nd just take items?" Quote
K-Nut Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 "Isn't our job just to reclaim the items and help the animals? If they say he's a thief, we can't really talk our way out of this..." Quote
Mencot Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 "Thief, he maybe ist but th're ist just one of him, he doesn´t look strong, I thinkst he looks more like a merchant. 'nd th're ist four of us, I thinkst we can talk our way through it 'nd if Diplomacy doesn´t work we shall show our strength intimidating him to hand over the items... th' last option shall be to fight."

Sir Cree, why don't you try to be diplomatic towards that gentleman, and maybe he will relieve himself from the items to us without a fight." "Diplomatic? To a thief? It doesn't work that way. He's far more dangerous than he looks. "Canst ye just say what th' items art 'nd we will speak withst th' man if we couldst get them? 'nd just out of intrest, howst do ye know th't he ist a thief, does he usually visit th' farm 'nd just take items?" "Um...the items...well...it's a little hard to explain in truth. I would have to see them to know and point them out. Talking will just over complicate things. Do you really mean to tell me that you feel sympathy for this wretched creature who has hurt so many friends of mine. If I am not mistaken there should be a good deal of fresh meat in that carriage apart from the items of more interest. You would be wise not to take him as weak or as someone who can be reasoned with." "Isn't our job just to reclaim the items and help the animals? If they say he's a thief, we can't really talk our way out of this..." "Why can't everyone just think logically like this? You have a job to do, so do it." "Thief, he maybe ist but th're ist just one of him, he doesn´t look strong, I thinkst he looks more like a merchant. 'nd th're ist four of us, I thinkst we can talk our way through it 'nd if Diplomacy doesn´t work we shall show our strength intimidating him to hand over the items... th' last option shall be to fight." "I will have to inspect the cart myself for clues...but I cannot be seen. If people like that knew that...beings, of my kind were around...well..." Quote
Mencot Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Aye, alright th'n. Guess we art ready here, lets get down to meet th's man to see what he ist up to. He turns to Khelyi, Th's time, take of th't cowl 'nd put on something moor protective! When the party will move away and Pimky isn´t hearing, Keliim says,"Keep yer weapons sheathed but ready when we meet th's man." Edited February 2, 2016 by Mencot Quote
Palathadric Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 The wagon driver fails to notice the heroes approaching. Quote
Sandy Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 "We are ready when you are, Mister Keliim." Quintessa nodded. Quote
Mencot Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Keliim thinks to himself, "This quest is starting to get complex, I can´t kill innocent humans who are just doing their job but also I feel the pain of the animals. He speaks up, "Aye we art ready but I wouldst like all of yer opinions on what we art going to do to th' man, he hasn´t noticed us, so we canst maybe get a surprise attack on him to knock him out, if we act fast." "But one thing ist on my mind I feel sympathies for our employer and loyalty 'nd what animals have to go through for becoming food of humans. But loyalty does not mean mindless, without moral attacking 'nd doing anything th' employer says. Aye th' feel sympathies for th' animals 'nd that they art oppressed by humanoids, but that is howst it is, how it has been for all long time. It is wrong, aye 'nd I am gonna help. But animals were created to serve under humanoids, not the other way around 'nd humans to take care of them. The killin' and slaughterin' is messed up but to continue to kill others to get back on the humans who did this ain´t the right way. Th' humans art also just doing they job, th' farmers, th' butcher, th' marketplace sellers... wh're willst th' killin' stop 'nd howst will other humans react to us 'nd Heroica when they hear th't we habt kill'd simple farmers? Th's ist howst I see it, what do ye think?" Quote
Pedguin Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Well, you do have a point. I say knock him out. Quote
Palathadric Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 The cart driver continues driving on. If the heroes wanted to catch him or speak to him, they would have to act quickly. Quote
Mencot Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 We try to jump the cartdriver, make a surpries hit on him. Quote
Palathadric Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) "Jump the Cart Driver" - Roll of 1 = Kellim attempts to take the Cart Driver by surprise by "jumping him." He does so with so much enthusiasm that the driver topples from his seat, hitting his head on the ground below, quite unconscious. The house neighs loudly and nervously. They hear some banging and clanging going on from inside the covered cart and out pops a deadly angry but all the while ravenously attractive...Succubus!!! "You will pay for this one piece at a time...starting with the big one." She licks her lips as she eyes up Kellim. What will the party do? Edited February 4, 2016 by Palathadric Quote
Mencot Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 First thing Keliim does is when the cart had stopped, he checks the cart driver pulse to see that he is still living, altough knocked out, keeping his eyes on the strange creature. "Who art ye 'nd how do ye fit into th's all? We want ye nor th's man no harm but ye habt somethin' in yer vagon th't belongs to someone else!" Quote
Sandy Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 "Curses, a demoness!" Quintessa gasped. "We have no other option but to fight - one must not make deals with devils." Quote
