Heroica RPG - Heroica Hall

Arthur sat down by Atramor and William. "Hehe...the feathers...I can explain--" Just then, the end of his staff tripped a woman behind him. Arthur decided that was explanation enough. "So...what do you recommend a rookie like me should do to start off in Heroica?"

[CMP]

Atramor shrugged, while the ever-present chicken on his hat stares down at Arthuer beadily.

"Well, as far as I know, these Quests aren't quite for beginners, so I'd stick to the back. If you intend on staying alive, I'd suggest a bedroll. Mages aren't the strongest of people, so it'll help to heal up every now and again."

"Good to know. Uh...which way to the store?"

[CMP]

Atramor points out a nearby window, displaying the marketplace.

Arthur returns to the Hall, and decided to see if anyone around here was allied with the Shadeaux, and if they knew of any recent news of their exploits.

[K-Nut]

Alexis walked into the hall, ready for the new day. She ordered some food and went and sat next to Althior. "So, do you think I should try out my Topaz gem? I still haven't seen what it will summon yet."

"I'd like to see that! He smiled, "So how do you like the bracelet?"

Arthur returns to the Hall, and decided to see if anyone around here was allied with the Shadeaux, and if they knew of any recent news of their exploits.

They started a war by framing elves, now they sell weapons to both sides. Profit for them, countless lives lost.

Arthur raises his eyebrows in surprise. He had not heard of this news. Suddenly the Hinckwells appear to be a much better ally than the Shadeaux. He signs up for Quest 17, as his chances of being selected appear to be better.

Arthur then heads to the library.

[Bricksandparts]

Alf sees Arthur Justus Regulus VII, the new mage.

"You new here? Me Alf, I been on quest." Alf gives some of his bread stash in his ruck-sack. "Have bread, good or 'ealth."

[Masked Builder]

"The bracelet is lovely, thank you!" She smiles at him. "Okay let me try this, this is the first time I've done it outside of the training hall." Alexis digs out the gem and concentrates on it, and POOF!

"Amazing, it's a bird!"

In a rather high voice, the spirit speaks. I am not just a bird, I am Thunderbird. My name is Shalma.

She looks expectantly at Althior. "What do you think?"

[K-Nut]

"You stole my summon! I like it! It matches those nice eyes of yours. One of the best colors there is I must say," He smiled.

[Masked Builder]

"Aw, that's so nice of you Althior." She smiles at him and then turns to the bird. "You are very magnificent, thank you for coming."

You are welcome.

She looks back at Althior. "Is there anything you want to say to her?"

[K-Nut]

"Well, there is one thing. You're lucky to have a great companion like Alexis. You should always treasure her." Hopefully this would do it!

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth glanced up and saw his former Questmate, Althior, flirting with a young member of his race. No more than a child, really. From what he could tell from the girl's face, the feeling seemed to be mutual. He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. In his opinion, elves shouldn't get into relationships with shorter lived species until at least their first century or so, when they've had time to contemplate their lives and decide whether such a relationship was worth the heartbreak of outliving your beloved for possibly hundreds of years. The youngling had summoned a large thunderbird, or roc, as they're known in his lands. She was showing magnificent potential in magic, it would be a shame if she became to depressed to work spells or, Ethereth forbid, be driven to suicide, by the foolish human mage. He turned and began to walk away when he tripped on a large, golden object. ( ) He turned to see a newcomer to the hall, another human mage holding an unwieldy staff with an Opal tied to the top. Crossly, he reprimanded the man: "Pay attention, boy, you might kill something with that thing." He snorted at the man, then sat down and ordered a drink at the bar.

OOC: No offense to any of you, just staying in character. Arasmyth has very particular views on how other elves should behave, and was taking out his frustrations with Alexis on Arthur.

[Brickdoctor]

No Knight remaining is brave enough to assist us? If no Knights sign up, I will be forced to send some of my men ahead and postpone the start of the Quest in hopes of obtaining a Knight's services.

[Kenghis Ghan]

A small, orange humanoid creature, whose head resembles a large pumpkin, enters the hall. The large leaves protruding from his head give off a foul, musty odour, almost knocking out the people he passes by.

"I am Spag, the first Grumpkin ever to venture into human lands!" he announces to no-one in particular. After realising that no-one was really paying attention to him, Spag slinked off sulkily to the quest board, muttering angrily. He hated not being the centre of attention; Grumpkins had always been a proud, albeit rare, race... even though most people of other species had never heard of one before.

After looking the quests over, Spag decided to apply for Quest #17. Although he was inexperienced in the ways of adventuring, he had hated the Brobric Elves with a passion ever since they ate his mother and father as side dishes at a thanksgiving feast. He felt it was his duty to do anything necessary to stop them from... well, doing anything!

After signing up, he nervously sat in the corner, not far from a shifty-looking fellow with a chicken. He eyed the chicken carefully, being sure not to make any sudden movements, lest he had his plump, ripe, juicy orange head ripped apart and eaten.

Spag, the crafty Grumpkin, has joined the Brawl RPG!

11 year-old (Grumpkins mature more quickly than most other races) male Grumpkin.

Althior sits down at the same table he'd been sitting at for a few days. He looked at an old locket that he'd cleaned and took in. He plugged a picture in of Alexis smiling. He smiled as he looked at it, and waited patiently for Alexis.

OOC: If I've done anything wrong, let me know. ;) Also, it says I can't attach the picture of my character because it's too big. How do I get it smaller (or whatever)?

"Welcome... wait, what are you, again? A Grumpkin? In all my years of being a ranger, I've never heard of your race. Do you taste good? I mean, would you like help with the painting of yourself? Try resizing it on a program on your computer, and then try "

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alex the chevalier walks into the bar after a long vacation. He signs up for Quest 17 and 18.

He orders a drink and sits down somewhere.

He walks past Althior and wondered how he could get a painting so fast. He's heard of prophets before, who predicted in the future there will be something called a "camera." Anyways, they must've spent all day yesterday standing in one position.

[Masked Builder]

Alexis walks into the hall wondering if anything interesting will happen today. She sees that Althior is already sitting at a table and she goes over to join him. "Where's Finnegan? I haven't seen him in a few days..."

[Flipz]

-==IC: Arthur==-

Arthur takes the bread from Alf. "Thank you, my good sir. I haven't eaten all day, and the only thing anyone's offered me to eat is chicken...which is something I can't stand to eat. No, sir!" Just then, Arasmyth yells at Arthur. He jolts to attention at the sight of a higher-ranked Mage. "Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!" "Man, things are so complicated here!" he mutters to the bartender, noticing several pairs of heroes flirting with each other. "Where I come from...well, where I come from, there's not a whole lot of social interaction period. Not since the uprising of the undead that happened since someone opened the Portal...I had to learn the social customs of this area from this book I found on the road!" Arthur holds up a tattered, clearly-outdated book of etiquette for the upper classes of a race no longer found in the region. "It's been...less than helpful." Realizing that people are staring at him, he quickly retreats behind the book of the exploits of Quest 4 he borrowed from the library.

[Kenghis Ghan]

"Thank you, kind yellowskin. It would've been a shame if the world had not known the terrifyingly handsome visage of Spag Bitterstalk!"

[Flipz]

-==IC: Arthur==-

Arthur looks up from a particularly interesting passage. "Hmm...this De'kra the shade...could he be the Shade I saw here earlier? I would very much like to get to know him. And Cinna the Dark...does anyone know if she still roams these parts, and on which quest(s) she intends to embark? Tell me, where is Cinna? For I much desire to speak with her."

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth snorted at the clumsy mage, who was now reading a Library book. "Quest 4 ended only a short time ago. All those heroes will still be around the hall unless they're already on other Quests. So it would be logical to assume the Shade you saw was indeed De'kra, however I believe the mage you spoke of was selected for a Quest around the time I returned from the Hinckwell forests."

"'Tis a shame. I much desire to venture with fellow Mages, that I may learn the ways of this land from them. You see, it is only recently that I discovered my powers. Previously, I thought the magic came simply from the enchanted equipment of my homeland. That is why I came here, to learn of this world, for my people judged me the most worthy to venture forth to these lands. I must say, I am not certain of the truth of their judgement, but I shall endeavor to perform as best I can. Perhaps soon I shall be on a Quest, and there shall truly learn." Arthur pauses for a moment. "What Quest do you seek to join? I have signed up for both Quest 17 and Quest 18, though I am uncertain of my chances of being selected for either one."
