Brickdoctor Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 QM Note: I apologize for the lack of pictures; I'm just going to give you a list of what you can buy so you can get that done and get back to the action at the same time the other two quests do. You see only three shops open at this early hour. Tahckar's Smithy Upgrade a Weapon (+1 WP) - Any weapon can be upgraded with this service, adding one point to its power per upgrade. Each upgrade costs the amount of WP the weapon has after the upgrade times eleven. For example, when a Sword (WP: 3) is upgraded to a Sword (WP: 4), it costs 44 Gold. When an Axe (WP: 6) is upgraded to an Axe (WP: 7), it costs 77 Gold. You can also upgrade the SP of shields this way. You can order several upgrades for your weapon, but the costs will stack. For example, upgrading a Mace (WP: 3) to a Mace (WP: 5) will cost {44 + 55 =} 99 Gold. Upgrade a Weapon (+5 WP) - Any weapon can be upgraded with this service, adding five points to its power per upgrade. You get 25%-off of the price you would pay if you used the normal upgrade service, rounded down. For example, upgrading a Sword (WP: 3) to a Sword (WP: 8) will cost (44+55+66+77+88)*0.75=247 Gold. Viviane's Cantina Mead - Causes the Encouraged-effect, doubling the target's attack power for the duration of one battle. Costs 12 Gold. Soma - Causes the Blessed-effect, allowing the target to recover 3 Health at the end of each Round for the duration of one battle. Costs 50 Gold. Nostrum - Causes the Lucky-effect, allowing the target to roll the battle die twice and get the better result of the two for the duration of one battle. Costs 35 gold. Tincture - Causes the target to become Immune to Effects, so that he is not affected by any Battle Effects - whether negative or positive - for the duration of one battle. Costs 30 Gold. Turquan's Potion Shop Minor Potion - Restores 2 Health to the target. Costs 2 Gold. Minor Tonic - Restores 1 Ether to the target. Costs 5 Gold. Panacea - Restores 10 Health to all members of the party during a battle. Costs 25 Gold. Potion - Restores 10 Health to the target. Costs 7 Gold. Tonic - Restores 5 Ether to the target. Costs 20 Gold. Chest of Concoctions - Contains five Potions, five Tonics, and one Remedy for the discounted price of 80 Gold. Phoenix Essence - Revives a fallen ally with full Health during a battle. Costs 50 gold. Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Alexandre upgrades his Elf Sword to WP:8. Alexandre buys a Chest of Concotions. 185- 168= 17 gold left. "All of these tonics could be useful to sell later." Quote
Flipz Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Alexandre upgrades his Elf Sword to WP:8. Alexandre buys a Chest of Concotions. 185- 168= 17 gold left. "All of these tonics could be useful to sell later." "Speaking of which, would ya mind terribly giving some o' those tonics to Luke? He's runnin' low on Ether, and we could really use his skills in battle." "If you wouldn't mind, I'd like a Tonic as well. Also, Isabella, I think it would be prudent to purchase a Phoenix Essence or two or three so we can revive you mid-battle; we sorely missed you after the Chaos Beast took you down." "I've also calculated that it would cost you 371 Gold to upgrade your weapon by 5, though that would prevent you from purchasing anything else, and would indeed require ALL of us to pitch in to help (or you could use your Zoot's Cookie to earn additional Gold, though that may not be the best use of it); still it could be most useful, and if you want to do the 5-WP upgrade, my Gold is at your disposal. Alternatively, you could stock up on Nostrums; if you earn just two Mugs in battle by using a Nostrum, you will earn back the cost in Gold AND make a tidy profit." "My recommended purchase for you, Isabella, is: upgrade your weapon to WP:8 (88 Gold), purchase 2 Nostrums (35+35=70 Gold), purchase a Phoenix Essence (50 gold), thus leaving you with an even 100 Gold to spend as you see fit." "In any case, everyone, if you find yourself short of Gold, consider mine to be at your disposal." Quote

"That sounds quite perfect and I'll add a Chest of Concotions to it, I can sell those Tonics in hall." (And I'm eating Zoot's Cookie for +1 power.) Edited June 18, 2012 by Dharkan Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Alexandre gives 2 tonics EACH to Luke and Arthur. Quote

Flipz Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) "Thanks, Alexandre, I appreciate this." Arthur uncorks a Tonic and drinks it. "Remember, folks, if you find yourself short of gold, mine is yours." "I personally am ready ta go, and didn't ya have some sort o' secret plan, Arthur?" Arthur nods. "Isabella, on my signal, *whisper whisper whisper whisper*. Hopefully it'll help our chances, and fewer people will get hurt. Agreed?" OOC: Honor code on this, folks, this spoiler's for Doc and Isabella only. "Isabella, on my signal, take my hand. I'll cast a pair of Darkness spells to hide us, and we'll sneak into the Cultist camp alone. We can take out the main resistance and leave the place open for the others. And we'll get first pick of the loot. Be sure to use that cloak to help you stay hidden; hopefully it'll help our chances, and fewer people will get hurt. Agreed? Edited June 18, 2012 by Flipz Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 "Your welcome Arthur. Also, if you need my extra tonic, you can take it." OOC: Phew... I'm afraid of Replying to YOUR comment, as I believe what ever the spoiler is will show up as code/text when replying. Quote
Zepher Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Suddenly, there is a flash of light, and you all see an image of Vipera. "Time has run out, heroes. The Chimera is rising as we speak. I have heroes waiting. I must take you now. I am sorry." "Hans, Poletad, remain with these heroes. You will serve in their place. Things in Drakencourt have been heated. It would be best for you to stay away. Your friend Felton acted with his heart and his brain, as he always does, but this one time they misled him. The Emperor is not feeling friendly towards people of foreign lands." The vision of Vipera breaths on the heroes, and Isabella and Skrall are gone. The light fades. Quote
Flipz Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 "No!" Arthur cries. He tries to grab Isabella's hand as she vanishes... "We have to find them, to stop the Chimaera! We must do it!" Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 "No!" Arthur cries. He tries to grab Isabella's hand as she vanishes... "We have to find them, to stop the Chimaera! We must do it!" Wait, what? "Well how do we find it?" Quote
Flipz Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Wait, what? "Well how do we find it?" "Skrall was following some tracks, I think. We were already headed the right direction, and stopped to do some shopping. Perhaps if we just keep walking this direction?" Arthur shakes his head as if to clear it. "Whatever. You guys do what you have to do, I'm going to follow the tracks Skrall had started to lead us along, presumably toward the Cultists. Come with me or don't." Edited June 19, 2012 by Flipz Quote

You guys do what you have to do, I'm going to follow the tracks Skrall had started to lead us along, presumably toward the Cultists. Come with me or don't." I follow Arthur. "I thought another reason why we stopped because the tracks were unreadable because the roads near the city were heavily traveled, distorting the tracks." Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 Arthur shakes his head as if to clear it. "Whatever. You guys do what you have to do, I'm going to follow the tracks Skrall had started to lead us along, presumably toward the Cultists. Come with me or don't." You look around, but your battle with the Chaos Beast and the rising activity in the streets has erased all the tracks. Without a tracker, you can't pick up the trail again. You realize that there's no way for you to follow Skrall and Isabella to the fight with the Chimera. Quote
Flipz Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Defeated, Arthur heads for the nearest bar. "Bartender! Your strongest stuff." "Ah, Arthur, have ya ever had alcohol before?" "Not real stuff, just the weak ales they served in the Hall, why?" "...no reason." Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 You walk up to the cantina and inquire about the offered drinks. "Sir, we offer Mead for 12 Gold, which gives the drinker the Encouraged effect, beer at 20 Gold, which does absolutely nothing useful, and dwarven ale, which costs 50 Gold and provides the drinker with the Knocked Out effect." Quote
Flipz Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Frowning at the price of the Dwarven Ale, Arthur buys a Mead and thanks the lady. "So, gang? What now? We've lost our Hunter and our Rogue, which means we can't Track anything Down and can't Flee if things get too hot for us. What were we even supposed to be doing here?" "...I don't suppose ya remember anythin' about tha Rebels?" Arthur's expression is unreadable but seemingly angry. Suddenly, he claps Knyghton on the back. "I knew there was a reason I liked you. Alright, then, let's go visit the Emperor and see if he's had any better leads than we've gotten." "Aren't you going to drink that Mead?" "Nah, I'll wait 'till we're through with the Emperor. Besides, if our luck keeps running like it has, it'd likely do nothing anyhow. To the Palace!" Quote
Dharkan Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 OOC: Oh my god, this is so exciting. I'm eagerly waiting for your next post Doc. Quote
Zepher Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 OoC: Sorry Dharken, that's my fault. You can head over to Quest 30, that's where you are now! Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 "Now didn't this emperor not like us heroes? I agree, let's pay him a visit." Quote
Flipz Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 "Now didn't this emperor not like us heroes? I agree, let's pay him a visit." "I thought he liked us just fine. I was probably too busy reading those books of his to notice, though...I hope if the others come across them at the Cultist hideout, they'd pick them up for me." Quote

Miss: Ribbit - All party members regain 1 Ether. You return to the palace, where you find Emperor Alandri walking down one of the long corridors in his wing of the building. You see that a thick mist has spread over Drakencourt as you approach the emperor, who you see is conversing with Sir Lyonel and Sir Leofard. "Heroes! How goes the subduing of the rebellion?" Quote
