Heroica RPG - Heroica Hall

[Scubacarrot]

"Thank you, Docken." As part of his breakfast, Guts ate the Growshroom right away, and the others could almost see his muscles grow. "I love these things. Shame they are so rare."

The raider stomped Tarn on the back and chuckled. "You? Love? Well well well... The handsome guys always seem get the girls, Atramor, Hybros." The raider winked. He was in a good mood, the hall, had unnoticably, become a place dear to him.

"Edge of Dreida Bay. One of the nameless shanty towns that probably ain't there anymore. 'Pirate haven' is closer to the mark, though. You?"

"I have traveled far and wide in my years, but never to Draida Bay. You will have to show me sometime. And me, well... my origin, that is the question now, hehehe. Do you think I joined Heroica to spread good will?"

Nyx catches Hybros's sideways look at her along with his comment. "Hybros, do you really think I'd stab you in the back? Really? Hell no, I'd blow you up if I was gonna do anything like that, and I make my feelings quite plain. If I wanted you dead or didn't like you, you'd know about it. Oh, and by the way, I forgot about the gold I lifted from Watters, so here's 125 gold for you. I need to give the same to Guts and Docken, but Guts is glued to that board, and Docken hasn't even showed up yet. Plus Docken has some stuff for me, I believe."

"Hehehe, I appreciate your being forthcoming about killing me, but I was not referring to you, Nyx..." His smile faded slightly as he looked down. He accepted the gold, however.

I return to the Hall, noticing something...off. As if I was in a different dimension than when I left, and different even from the dimensions I might have been in during parts of the quest.

I look around to find Hybros, Nyx, and Guts.

Before Docken can wander off, Hybros tugs on his cape and pulls the valuable Adamantite Shard from his pocket. The heavy metal gleamed in the sun rays streaming through the Hall windows as he handed it to the Warden. "I believe this is your part of the reward. Although I do not believe your shield could get much stronger, heheh." He also slipped 85 gold Docken's way.

[Rumble Strike]

Tarn blushed at Guts' crass comment, but found himself in agreement with Atramor. "What else could she have been talking about? We lost Jun, and we found him again when everyone thought he was dead.

And maybe I will return to Dastan one day. Being friends with the new Emperor doesn't hurt, either."

[joeshmoe554]

Jeaux entered through the doors of the hall. It was quite busy with activity since most of the heroes were back from their adventures. He made his way to the quest board to take a glance at the recent notices. He saw a request for heroes to escort a team of reporters to an event involving the Guild of Invision. It would seem the masked man Dr. Cula was so afraid of would be making an appearance. Jeaux signed his name for quest #82, then headed to the bar for a drink.

Before Docken can wander off, Hybros tugs on his cape and pulls the valuable Adamantite Shard from his pocket. The heavy metal gleamed in the sun rays streaming through the Hall windows as he handed it to the Warden. "I believe this is your part of the reward. Although I do not believe your shield could get much stronger, heheh." He also slipped 85 gold Docken's way.

"Ah, yes, thank you, Master Hybros."

Recalling the feeling of holding shimmering blue Mythril Ore for the first time in Salmanda, I hold the shining silvery Adamantite Shard up for a moment before slipping it into a pouch.

[CMP]

Atramor laughed at Guts' remark. "Ya'd think they'd go for the rogue more often, hah. Sure ain't how it works where I come from. There, it's the alcoholic pirate on the left, or the back-stabbin' thief on the right, no noble warriors 'round to sweep 'em off their feet. Of course, there ain't exactly any princesses there either." The witch reached back towards the bar, scooping up yet another bottle of rum as he nodded at Hybros.

"It ain't much anymore. No different than the other hundred such places 'round the world. Dunno where ya' came from? If I had to take a guess, I'd wager you were more likely summoned than born...no offense, mate," added Atramor, in response to the imp. He then turned his head to Tarn as he went to go see Docken, and gave the raider a nod. "Aye, they'd probably be happy to have ya' back there for a while. 'Til then, plenty of other countries to save," joked the witch.

He chuckled with Atramor. "Together we have helped Dastan and Xu, the boy from a Titaanian village and the roge from Draida Bay. Where will we go next, in all of Olegaia? Heroica's influence spreads wide now."

[Pandora]

"So you are the mage who likes fire! I think I may have something that would interested you." Tesni took the phoenix dress from her bag. "I picked this up on my latest quest but I have little use for it."

Nyx admires the dress, trying it against herself and feeling the material. "Oooh, now this is lovely! And just my sort of thing! How much are you asking for it?"

"Don't imagine parties with rich folk bein' very good. Ya' haven't been to a real one unless there's at least a dozen wasted, dirt-poor pirates there."

"Sounds like the taverns I used to frequent down by the docks before I joined here" Nyx laughs in reply

"And Miss Nyx, these are yours:"

Thank you Master Docken" Nyx accepts the items "Before you scoot off, here's 125 gold from Watters' corpse" she turns to Guts also "And 125 gold for you Guts, too. Wouldn't want to be holding onto your gold now, would I?" she winks

"That she was, mate, assumin' that's what she referred to." Atramor polished off his drink, leaving the empty bottle on the table. "Maybe ya' should pay her a visit onna these days."

Turning back to the rowdy table, Nyx replies once more "We could make a quest of it! The quest for Tarn's kiss from Ella! We just have to get there, and then somebody (not Atters ) diplomatically gets them a table at a fancy restaurant, and I could light hundreds of romantic candles and we could get a Druid to grow a bunch of perfect roses. We'd all help you romance her Tarn, what could possibly go wrong?!" she grins at her old friend Tarn as she concludes.

[Flare]

Benji notices the recent influx of heroes in the hall, and decides to put up again his sale ad, hoping to make another sale.

[Rumble Strike]

Tarn grinned at Nyx. It was great having the fiery Battle Mage, Atramor and Tesni all sat at the same table. "You're right, we should all go to Dastan together!" he said.

[Brickdoctor]

Thank you Master Docken" Nyx accepts the items "Before you scoot off, here's 125 gold from Watters' corpse" she turns to Guts also "And 125 gold for you Guts, too. Wouldn't want to be holding onto your gold now, would I?" she winks

"Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Thank you."

[Peppermint_M]

Nyx admires the dress, trying it against herself and feeling the material. "Oooh, now this is lovely! And just my sort of thing! How much are you asking for it?"

"Hmm, I passed through the marketplace on my way here and a similar garment with less of a buff was priced 100 gold per max ether... But I'd be willing to haggle, it is a fine item, but as I siad, I am not one for the magical art unless it is strapped to something I can hit with!"

[Endgame]

Amidst all of the chattering and hubbub of the hall, a slight rubmling can be heard from outside the hall. Something is heard rising from the ground, just beyond the door... The creature carefully swings the doors of the hall open, not wanting to cause a distraction.

He was an odd, if not impressive, specimen: An odd combination of scorpion, mollusk, and crustacean. A set of bars seemed to stand in place of the creature's face, protecting the delicate organs inside. The olive green creature mutters to himself as he makes his way to the quest board.

"So this is Heroica Hall. Not bad."

The Progg reaches the other end of the hall, staring intently at the quest board. His shoulders sag as he sees the notice, with not many heroes signed up.

"Solon... Will not like the sound of this."

The Progg takes out a quill, and begins writing...

Current Sign-Ups for Quest #81: Home Sweet Home:

If anyone desires more information about the assignment, I will linger around here for a bit. (I'm the giant green scorpion-esque creature.)

[Captain Settle]

Louis walks in and writes his name down on the sign up board for Quest #82 Stop the Press

[Cutcobra]

Heckz heads to the questboard and signs up for Quest #81 Home Sweet Home, then he sits back at his table and orders a drink.

[JimBee]

The raider stomped Tarn on the back and chuckled. "You? Love? Well well well... The handsome guys always seem get the girls, Atramor, Hybros." The raider winked. He was in a good mood, the hall, had unnoticably, become a place dear to him.

"Hmhm, oh yes, heheh." Not sure how else to respond to such foolishness of human emotion, he silently grinned to himself.

"It ain't much anymore. No different than the other hundred such places 'round the world. Dunno where ya' came from? If I had to take a guess, I'd wager you were more likely summoned than born...no offense, mate," added Atramor, in response to the imp.

"Summoned? ...I suppose you could say that. Why do you not ask that rod of yours? Hehehe."

Hybros quickly made his way to the quest board to post a notice. It read:

Looking for Mytrhil Shard: contact Hybros if interested in selling.

[Pandora]

"Hmm, I passed through the marketplace on my way here and a similar garment with less of a buff was priced 100 gold per max ether... But I'd be willing to haggle, it is a fine item, but as I siad, I am not one for the magical art unless it is strapped to something I can hit with!"

Nyx sits staring with an open mouth for a moment "Uhm.." she gulps "Are you sure?? That implies you're looking for upwards of 500 gold for this...." she trails off sadly

"Even my cloak, which has the same enhancement to my Ether and other nice effects cost me far, far less. And there's a Tiara there for 120 gold that gives plus 3 Ether and a Hat that gives plus 4 Ether for 160 gold. Are you sure about 100 gold per additional Ether? It looks a lot more like around 40 gold. "

She looks at Tesni with hope in her eyes "I was thinking somewhere nearer to 200 gold for the dress, really. "

[CMP]

"He ain't much of a talker. I prefer it that way. Mephisto's a real bastard, but his...current form, I guess, is pretty useful."

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge approaches Hybros

"I'll sell yer a Mythril shard for 150 gold."

[JimBee]

"He ain't much of a talker. I prefer it that way. Mephisto's a real bastard, but his...current form, I guess, is pretty useful."

"Really? All he did was harass me, even trapped inside there."

Sarge approaches Hybros

"I'll sell yer a Mythril shard for 150 gold."

Hybros looked up to the one-legged man. Without much thought, he replied. "Deal." He handed over 150 gold to complete his Myrthril Ore.

[Peppermint_M]

Tesni shrugged and grinned. "200 gold it is then." She handed over the dress. "Hope it is useful."

[The Legonater]

I look around the table to suddenly see it filled with people. I nod in greeting to Guts.

Hey, boss.

[Scubacarrot]

"Dyric Rone. I assume you're holding up alright?"

[The_Customizer]

After a long time away studying her arts of magic, Erdathcath finally has returned to the hall.

She looks around, things seemed to have changed, but not too much. Walking over to the old Quest Board, she studies it for a long time, then decides to sign her name under Quest #81: Home Sweet Home.

Walking over to the bar she orders a nice cup of Green Lea Tea, just like in the old days, then takes a seat, and waits.

[Flare]

Benji walks over loudly to Erdy, whom he had not seen in a while. In fact, he was not even sure if he knew her.

"Hello, erm, do I know you?"
