Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 It had taken her a bit, but her mask was fixed. She smiled as she put it back on and leaned in her chair. She was still damp from the mishap at the dock, but she felt better knowing she was out and about naked. "Much better!" She then checked the gashes on her legs and began to rub alcohol into them. Life would come to kick her in the shins soon. She enjoyed the moment by herself and continued to expect her wounds. Quote
herrJJ Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Nessa returned from her trip outside the hall. The storm from Brendenton seemed to follow her. Something dark was around. She entered the Hall again. It seemed to be more quiet than before. She saw some of her quest mates. On the way to Karie she passed the quest board. "Interesting..." Nessa mumbled and signed up for Quest 69 (no sexual content, I suppose). She looked at the young rogue fixing up her mask. "Hey Karie, mind if I accompany you?" Nessa headed towards Sheherazad and got them both a bottle of Mulled Wine and two glasses even before the rogue could answer. Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Karie motions for the chair opposite to her. "So, before we get moving on with other things, I wished to apologize for being a jerk, we obviously got off on the wrong foot, allow me to reintroduce myself, Karie Alderflask, world's greatest pickpocket." She poured Nessa a glass, and drank out of the bottle. Quote
Palathadric Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Erik heard a man call his name across the room, so after he'd written on the quest board he set out looking for anyone he recognised. He passed an old man with a cart talking with three other heroes, but doubled back after a few steps. He stood a few metres away, so as not to interrupt the conversation, and squinted at the face under the hood. "Erik, lad, how has fortune favoured you of recent. It's been quite a while since we defeated those demons of hell in that vault, eh? What were they called again? Proggs! The little puny one who you fellows insisted on saving, hung around in my cart for far longer than necessary, but then I went on a quest and I haven't seen him sine. Good riddance to bad rubbish as they saying goes. How has life for you been though? Have you gone on many quests since our last one?" "I don't believe I know any of you, so let me introduce myself. My name is Dak Shadeaux, but I am more commonly known these days as "The Stalker". Perhaps you have heard of me?" Dak says with a smooth bow and a smirk. "'The Stalker'? Can't say it sounds familiar. I have heard that there is an insane knight walking around who calls himself Dak. Says it's an 'alternate personality' or something bizarre. The guys a complete loony. The name 'Dak' does not therefore leave the greatest impression. Your surname is 'Shadeaux' you say? Related to the 'Shadeaux Family' in any way? I just met one of them on my last quest actually. Pleasant girl!" Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "Oi. Punii is a hero. That's your problem. You don't appreciate others roles. You think of yourself and some Humans as the best. I've heard stories of others, Russel and Pigley, Poletad and Vipera, as well as Punii. They are heroes, far greater than any of us are. " Quote
xxlrocka Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Drake kicked down the door to the hall immediately, having just returned from a long boat ride back to Eubric without Karie, Nessa, Amorith or Dreyugr because he fell off of the first boat ride. And the first ever thing Drake said the very second he got into the hall again was "I need a drink." Quickly, Drake hopped up to the bar to get a barrel of mead and some peppered onions that were sprinkled with a little Demonic Dust. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Dak had been watching the dispute between the strange-looking monk and the two Raiders for a while now. Without warning, he stalked up behind them. "Now, now, gentlemen, there's no need to fight, is there?" Dak said, and just for an instant his irises transitioned from their usual brown to deep red. "I don't believe I know any of you, so let me introduce myself. My name is Dak Shadeaux, but I am more commonly known these days as "The Stalker". Perhaps you have heard of me?" Dak says with a smooth bow and a smirk. "I apologize; if we have met before, I do not remember it, although I do recall that one named 'Dak' joined Heroica just a couple months after I did, and was then not seen in the Hall for quite some time. Welc-" Drake kicked down the door to the hall immediately, I roll my eyes. Dak had been watching the dispute between the strange-looking monk and the two Raiders for a while now.

"I don't believe I know any of you, so let me introduce myself. My name is Dak Shadeaux, but I am more commonly known these days as "The Stalker". Perhaps you have heard of me?" Dak says with a smooth bow and a smirk. "So as I was saying, welcome back, Master Shadeaux." Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Karie notices the bare quest board, and turns to Nessa. "Nessa, hold the fort." She moves over to the quest board and looks for anything of interest. Her interest is peaked by a notice for a man selling goods in the hall. She looks about and notices him with a few other men. She walks over to them and pulls up a chair. "Mr. Docken I presume? I'm here for the ad you had on that necklace. How much were you asking for?" Karie gets out coin pouch and loosens the opening. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "Mr. Docken I presume? I'm here for the ad you had on that necklace. How much were you asking for?" Karie gets out coin pouch and loosens the opening. "Yes. And you would be..."I think for a moment. "I don't remember seeing you in the Hall before, yet you look somewhat experienced. You must have joined while I was in the Fields. As for the Lover's Locket; I'd like 30 Gold for that." Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) "Sorry, the name's Karie. Karie Alderflask, World's Greatest Pickpocket. As for the Locket, 30 sounds good." She reaches into her pouch and places 30 gold coins into three tall stacks of ten. She then grabs the Lover's Locket off of Docken. She's left with 239 gold coins. "Thank you for the locket Docken, I hope to do business with you again soon. You may want to dry the chair I was sitting in, I was tossed off of a boat recently." Edited May 17, 2013 by Kintobor Quote

"Thank you, Miss Aderflask."I trade Karie the Lover's Locket for 30 Gold. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 As Karie approaches and does some trading with Docken, Johon notices Karie's legs cut. When she is done trading, Johon asks her about it. "What happened to your legs?" Johon then realizes he hasn't even introduced himself. "Sorry for my intrusiveness, My name is Johon, and I hear your name is Karie Alderflask, correct? Nice meeting you.", nudging Docken for his mispronunciation. Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "That's alright, I've been called worse. So, about these cuts, I decide to steal a few apples out of a ships hold until the two guys on the boat, one an imp with a wicked looking scythe, the other some balding, unpleasant, raider, corner me. I gave them some sob story trying to get out with the apples. The imp believed me, the raider, not so much. So, the raider slashes my legs with my blade and tosses me over the ship, some foreign, green, ugly thing. Jack hole." She takes a swig of her wine then looks back at Johon. "To think that there's still honor among thieves." The last line is oozing in sarcasm. She takes another drink from her bottle of wine. "I'm alright. The only thing injured is my pride." Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "The joys of trying to steal from two of Heroica's finest." Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "It's ok, some people here over-react, but stealing among innocents isn't a noble thing to do." Johon looks back at Karie's legs. "Are you sure those cuts are ok? Leg infections can be serious..." Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) After hearing the words coming out of the were's mouth, Karie's head slowly makes it way to the table. "Why must life be so cruel. That jerk of a raider is considered the best? Why? How? Go figure considering the luck I have. Stupid ship with it's stupid owner and it's putrid green color scheme..." She looks up at Johon. "I think "over-react" is a bit of an understatement. To be honest, I'm not sure about my legs. I've rubbed some alcohol on it, but I'm no medical whiz." Edited May 17, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "Well, that's better than nothing, but you should probably get a bandage over it." Johon pauses, then considers an idea he was thinking of. "Would you want me to teach you some fighting techniques? It seems that some practuce could you give you the advantage when people like them gang up on you..." Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 " Generally, trying to steal from people like Guts isn't advised. " Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Karie perks up at the Johon's offer. Karie sits up in her chair and looks Johon over. The guy must be serious. Perhaps taking up on his offer would be beneficial in the long run, in case she runs into that raider, apparently named Guts, again. "What kind of fighting moves?" Edited May 17, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 OoC: TheBoyWonder, there's no way that Romulus could know who the raider is, he may have suspected who Hybros was though. "You don't need to tell her that, she's figured it out already. Not everyone is like you that needs hints like that." Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "I'd be happy to help to. I'd imagine he means parrying, disarming, general all round invaluable skills. Johon knows how to handle hisself. " Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "I was thinking of hand-to-hand combat, or melee, where we could use staffs. Also agility. I'm open to any other ideas also." Johon, mimicking Romulus, says "Oh, invaluable means really valuable, not not valuable." Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "I'd advise that you get some armour, I mean it almost seems a waste on someone as pretty as you, but it's invaluable." Quote
Kintobor Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 "Sure, I don't see why not. It wouldn't hurt to get some new skills in there. Where we going, oh great and wise ones?" She grins as she gestures towards Johon and Romulus, twirling her hand in a respectable, honouring manner. Quote
