Skrall overhears the discussion of gem selling and calls over to Guts, "100 Gold if Stigveladi doesn't want it."

"Hopefully Elphaba will be along soon. I need to add a Garnet to my collection."

[PsyKater]

"I pass on the Opal, thanks for the offer. But I want to have some of those I don't have yet, first."

[Jebediahs]

En Sabah Nur returns to the fountain of Triad Park, his favorite place for grooming. He takes his Sangriste Dagger and begins to shave his ether-touched beard when he notices a familiar figure on the other side.

[Xarrzan]

Sarick averts his gaze from the fountain and says "I have been staring into the water of this fountain, contemplating how to become immune to my chosen element of ice, and it's subcategory of water. I have no need for this Lichen Armour if you have something I could use to solve my dilemma."

"Heh, indeed. Once again I have an offering for you." Nur trades Aqua Gear (adds water-element to physical attacks and protects from water-elemental damage, accessory) to the naga.

"Heh, indeed. Once again I have an offering for you." Nur trades Aqua Gear (adds water-element to physical attacks and protects from water-elemental damage, accessory) to the naga.

"That will work for me." Sarick trades Lichen Armour (The wearer’s ether is counted as additional health if health is depleted; suitable to classes with ether; bodywear) to Nur.

With half shaven beard, En Sabah Nur bows to Sarick. He believed the naga to be more than he appeared and thought it quite important to remain on the serpent-man's good side.

[PsyKater]

After waiting a while for more offers, Stigveladi rushes out again, heading to a side room of the Hall. She seems to be quite nervous.

Thalion wanders back to the Hall, and quietly gets himself a glass of wine and sits at an empty table meditating on the Plague Doctor's words and the events that took place at the unveiling.

Hoke decides to pin an ad on the Questboard:

For Trade: 1 Topaz for your 1 Garnet.

[Scubacarrot]

Skrall overhears the discussion of gem selling and calls over to Guts, "100 Gold if Stigveladi doesn't want it."

"Deal. I doubt the zealot was going to beat that offer." Guts tossed the Opal over to Skrall, awaiting his gold.

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall passed a sack of 100 Gold to Guts. "Pleasure doin' business with ya. Weren't you just headin' out on a quest not too long ago?"

[Scubacarrot]

"You mean the newspaper thing. Took but an afternoon. Went in, dealt with the problems, went back here to drink away the guilt of killing over a dozen men. The usual."

[Waterbrick Down]

"Seems like a quick job after all and since when have we ever had trouble with guilt over doing our job?"

[Scubacarrot]

"It was a joke... I think. Skrall. I killed hundreds, thousands of people in my life. Most of those had mothers, fathers, siblings, spouses... Children... If I felt such a thing as guilt I would have stopped being able to do what I do a long time ago."

The raider took a large drink from the bottle.

"I'm a horrible person."

[Waterbrick Down]

"Aren't we all." Skrall quaffed another gulp from his tankard.

[Scubacarrot]

"Heh. Guess it won't be lonely when we go go on our trip to the seven hells. You must have killed a lot of people too... Tell me about your first. Your first kill. There must be a story, there's always a story."

[PsyKater]

Stigveladi comes back in the main Hall and sits down at a table near the Board. Her stomach responds with a growl.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke arrived just in time to hear the marcabre conversation between the two reformed ruffians. He listened in silence as he nursed a warm mug of cider, staring every once in awhile in the cup as he slowly swirled it around. He thought back to all the battles he faced and all the enemies he had cut down. He never raised his sword in animosity, only in necessity. It had to be black and white, there was no room for the grey.

He took a long, smooth drink and continued to listen. There was always something to learn.

[Palathadric]

Benji strides over to the bumbling Monk Pretzel and pokes him with a clawed finger. "Hey monk. Long time no see, eh?"

"Ack! Who...what the devil are you?" I cry, dismayed. "Step away or I will have your head."

I reach for Conspirator.

What the devil does he mean by "long time, no see?" Trying to tell me we've met before? This beast? I should think not.

I quickly scan through my brain whom among the heroes I quested with it could be, settling finally on just three: the vampire, the druid, or Benji.

I keep my sword drawn slightly.

"Um...do I know you?"

[Flare]

I keep my sword drawn slightly.

"Um...do I know you?"

Benji chuckles. He knows that Pretzel could barely scratch him even if he tried. "Its me, Benji, I'm surprised you don't remember me. After all we've been through together..." Benji lifts off the crocodile skull from his head and brushes his hamd through his hair, and smiles toothily at Pretzel. "Recognize me now, eh?"

[Waterbrick Down]

"Heh. Guess it won't be lonely when we go go on our trip to the seven hells. You must have killed a lot of people too... Tell me about your first. Your first kill. There must be a story, there's always a story."

Skrall sipped at his ale, "Well doesn't look like there's any new quests pressin' anyways."

"It was many years ago, back in Ennon. Grew up the youngest of the bunch, most of the time we were on the move never stayin' in one place fer too long, folks in that part of the world not takin' too kindly to green skins. Well one day I was out and about, headin' to my favorite fishin' spot when I come across a woman. She's ballin' her eyes out next and raisin' a hell of a racket right next to my prime pond. Seems like her lover or somethin' had left her for another man and she'd ran into the woods to have a good cry and sod if she hadn't picked my hole to do it next to. Now I was a strappin' chap and knew I wouldn't have any trouble scarin' off any maiden, so I waltz in there lookin' as fierce as I can. She doesn't budge, sod she brakes down and cries even harder at the sight of me, big ol' tear drops disturbin' the quiet tranquility of my glen. At that moment I give off a roar and yell at the top of my lungs, 'Human, get yer swollen puffy eyed face out of here before I see ya out with a kick to the behind'. She cries even harder and pleads with me to eat her and put her out of her misery."

Skrall took another long swig. "Now, ya've got to understand, Guts, while we green skins might be partial to the spillin' of blood, it requires some rare savagery to enjoy the taste of it. I wasn't too keen on the prospect of eatin' the poor thing so I just come right out and say it. 'Mam, sorry fer yer trouble, but eatin' ya is probably the last thing on my mind.' Well I only got as far as the 'eatin' ya' part when in to the glen comes chargin' a knight decked out in the most sorry array of armor I'd ever clapped eyes on. The lad looked like he had strapped every variety of kitchen cookery to himself and set off to be the laughing stock of his village. Well, in he comes a chargin' with a sharp axe yellin' something about how he'd returned for the maiden and would slay me to keep me from eatin' her. I won't say it was my finest moment, but as he came rushin' at me, I lay out one arm and clotheslined the baffoon with a single blow. Thing was, he didn't get back up. I looked at the maid. She looked at me. That was the end of the matter. I gathered up my rod and trodded off fer home, thoroughly put out fer the rest of the day." Skrall shrugged and finished his tankard.

Guts chuckled: "Sounds like the idiot got what he deserved. Thanks for sharing."

[Palathadric]

Benji chuckles. He knows that Pretzel could barely scratch him even if he tried. "Its me, Benji, I'm surprised you don't remember me. After all we've been through together..." Benji lifts off the crocodile skull from his head and brushes his hamd through his hair, and smiles toothily at Pretzel. "Recognize me now, eh?"

"Benji! Went and turned a monster on me? May God watch over your calloused soul. What has gotten into you...so to speak." I edge a bit further away, preferring not to be touched by the scaly arm.

Benji laughs. "I might be a were-reptile now, but I'm still the good old Benji that you know and love. So what has been happening, with you old man?" Benji puts his arm on Pretzel's shoulder in an informal manner and laughs friendly.
