Heroica RPG - Heroica Hall

[joeshmoe554]

Jeaux noticed one of the people in the hall was scurrying on the ground. He seemed to be experiencing a rather vivid hallucination. If the automaton had to guess, the man was most likely strung out of his mind on Hippocamp tears. When even junkies could call themselves heroes, the hall might need to start employing a better vetting process.

Jeaux had a feeling the knight was keeping a few things to himself. Most of the people here had left their old lives behind and that was not an easy thing to do, unless there was no life to go back to. In Jeaux's case that was quite literally the case, but for others... it seemed the hardships they had suffered made it easier to start anew than live with the pain.

[Brickington]

Sir Brickington was getting quite restless. He noticed the automaton eyeing him. Thus, he walked up to him and said, "Jeaux, do you want to have a little friendly battle in the arena? No hard feelings, just practice." Sir Brickington gave him a wink and was trying to act as if nothing was on his mind.

[Emjajoas]

"I suppose I could talk," Em replies flatly, regarding Karie. His face betrayed no emotion, though he seemed slightly hesitant in the way he swirled the contents of his glass around. "What is it you want to know, then?"

[Kintobor]

"You were rather hush hush about your past back there. Care to explain?" She looked at Em intently.

[Shoker86]

Arnulf saw Em returning and decided to put discussion with Karie on hold for a moment, but saw Em leaving again. " Karie firstly i wanted to ask you how are you? It seemed that Apprentice bewitched you for moment, and secondlly decision to agree on Stealer's request"

[Kintobor]

Karie felt uncomfortable talking about the Apprentice.

"When the Apprentice hit me with the Harvester... It was like everything just shut off. I was alive, but only inside, like he had replaced me with...

with someone else. There was a surge of pain, and then it went black. I can't remember anything about what happened during my trance."

Karie was getting a little frantic.

"What did he do me, after he hit me. What did I do, Arnulf? She asks, expecting the worst.

[Shoker86]

"Firstly you said i'm under your command or something similar" Arnulf said starting to feel a little uncomfortable "Then you started acting weird saying love to be your assistant, really creepy, fortunatlly it didn't last long and you didn't harm anyone "

[Emjajoas]

"There isn't much to say about it," Em replies, taking a drink. "Grew up in a small village quite a ways from here. Been wandering since I left. An old friend gave me a tip about this place, figured I'd give it a shot. Every kid's dream is to be a hero, after all. If you came to hear a story, then I'm sorry, but there isn't one to be told."

Normally when people speak of home, their voice has some hint of emotion, some tinge of homesickness-- Em speaks of it in passing, as if it means nothing to him. Then again, it is hard to discern his emotion through his voice; it rarely seems to change in tone. However, there was something about his eyes, a flicker, so fast it was impossible to determine its source. Perhaps is was just the light.

"Anything else you want to know?"

[Kintobor]

"Then he got what wanted." Karie stared off into the space in front of her. She slammed he fists on the bar.

"Damn it! I feel wrong! I feel dirty! He said he'd use me and he did!"

It was a combination of anger and sorrow in her voice. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes.

She had heard Em but didn't care, she left the bar to be with herself, rushing out of the room.

Arnulf embraced Karie and tried to help fellow rogue "Well there was noting you could've done about it" Arnulf allmost felt Karie's pain "We should find his master, he made that damn machine and made us miserable"

[Palathadric]

All the new heroes who just came from their latest quest are jabbering on and on. The masked girl is blubbering uncontrollably. It's starting to get to my head. I decide to take a stroll by the Marketplace and see if there's anything I need in preparation for my upcoming quest.

Drake finished off hiding stuff. He looked around, and he quickly stood up. Everybody was gone. Then everybody re-appeared. Drake grew worried, and as he did, he thought he saw a large, black figure with glowing red eyes rising up through the windows but when he looked...

The figure wasn't there.

Quickly, Drake grabbed his things and he ran toward the highest point in the hall. He looked down upon the heroes of Heroica and he sighed. He knew he wasn't going to be safe now that he was having hallucinations of... IT. IT had killed many people in the past, and now it seemed like it was going to return. At that moment, Drake figured that if he wasn't safe, nobody was safe. Heroica would be doomed, and innocent lives would be lost. He looked down upon the heroes of Heroica and he whispered nervously.

"Oh, heroes. I wish only for you to be safe, but with this... I'm afraid I can only hope."

[Kintobor]

"Get off of me, Arnulf!" She forcefully moves him away from her.

"And don't follow me, please!" She ran out of the bar.

[Brickington]

Sir Brickington noticed Karie running away from Arnulf. He walked up to Arnulf but didn't say a word. Sir Brickington walked towards the bar.

[Cutcobra]

Heckz noticed a man who looked as if he was having strong hallucinations and said to himself "I don't know what this man is drinking but I'd like me some of that".

[joeshmoe554]

"I'll gladly join you in the area, Sir Brickington."

[Shoker86]

"Master Heckz, care for a drink? " Arnulf invited young mage to sit near him " I can se you are a mage, very skillfull profesion i might add, your magical studies are going well i assume?"

[Brickington]

"Okay, Jeaux, see you at the arena."

[Cutcobra]

"Master Heckz, care for a drink? " Arnulf invited young mage to sit near him " I can se you are a mage, very skillfull profesion i might add, your magical studies are going well i assume?"

Why of course Arnulf. Although I hope that I can get some other gems so I can improve my magical studies. You are aware that the source of the elemental magics come from gems right?

[Kintobor]

Karie walked out into the cold, deciding to take a stroll to the local theatre. She realized walking alone that she had left people back home, few of which she really cared for. Most were either in prison or dead. Others simply turned their backs on her, while some she cut ties to herself. Had she told anyone she was leaving for Eubric? Was there anyone to tell? She continued down the street, huddling herself for warmth. "What would mother think of this?" She thought. "Brain washed, and almost killed. She'd probably murder me." She continued on her way up to theater.

"Mama

Thinks I'm living in a barracks,

A secluded little barracks

In the province of Grovance.

Mama

Doesn't even have an inkling

That I'm working in a nightclub

In a pair of leather pants.

So please, sir.

If you run into my Mama,

Don't reveal my indiscretion,

Give a working guy a chance...

Hush up,

Don't tell Mama,

Shush up,

Don't tell Mama...

Don't tell Mama,

Whatever you do.

If you had a secret,

You bet I would keep it.

I would never tell on you.

You can tell my Papa, that's all right,

'Cause he comes in here every night,

But don't tell Mama what you saw!"

The Emcee is joined onstage by two other chorus girls, who join in on singing the song.

"You can tell my Uncle

Here and now

'Cause he's owns the place, anyhow,

But don't tell Mama what you know!

You can tell my brother,

That ain't grim

'Cause if he squeals on me

I'll squeal on him,

But don't tell Mama, bitte,

Don't tell Mama, please, Sir.

Don't tell Mama, what you know.

Sssh!

Sssh!

"If you see my, Mummy,

Mum's the word!"

The audience roars in applause.

Heckz looks around the hall, wondering where Sir Brickington annd Jeaux went. I wonder where they are?". Heckz goes to the saloon and asks the female orc "A bottle of rum please. Scratch that, a whole barrel of rum!".

[LTPro]

Zoltan walks into the hall. Slowly and wearily, he steps up to the questboard.

He reads the quests carefully.

Quest#60: Predator to Prey

Quest Master: Capt.JohnPaul

Assignment: “Heroica! I need your help, I have this feeling someone is following me, and yesterday I received this scary note I want to show you. Please find whoever wrote it and protect me! I’ll meet you at the docks the night after sign ups close.” ~ Lindsey, citizen of Eubric

Party Requirements: "I need three heroes, small enough to be stealthy, but large enough to be a protective barrier. I’d prefer at least one rogue and one heavy hitter."

Reward: “I can’t spare much, I am not the richest… but I can give you 50 gold each.”

"This should be the perfect quest for me!" He exclaims out loud. The people beside him stare at him awkwardly.

Zoltan signs up for Quest#60.

Returning from her thoughts about the past by the newly returned party and the noise around everybody made, Nessa looked up and noticed something new on the quest board. She had been out for a while minding her own business. She walked over to the quest board. "Now what do we have here?" she mumbled. Reading through the description of the new quest Nessa decides. "So, stealthy heroes, ey? Hmm, with this new equipment I might go through this even alone", she whispered to herself looking down her leather armour. So Nessa signed up for quest 60.

She just saw that strange "person" she had met a while ago leaving the hall with a knight. When he (?) returned she was willing to talk to him (?). Nessa even didn't know the strangers name. She only remebered the mechanical sounds and the blank face.

Why of course Arnulf. Although I hope that I can get some other gems so I can improve my magical studies. You are aware that the source of the elemental magics come from gems right?

" So you are basicly a channeler of magic energy generated from gem" Arnulf said "Do you have some magical connection with gem?"
