Rumble Strike Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Tarn slowly gets to his feet, the blood on his face masking his embarrassment at being knocked out so early in the fight. He addresses the other party members in a low voice. "Apologies for being knocked down so early in the fight. I am shamed that I could not stay on my feet and take out more bombs. It looks as though you all did very well, and Nikolai is safe. I will do better next time, by the Gods." Quote
Pandora Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Well that was.. annoying. I look forward to seeing that XX bloke again, and giving him a piece of my mind. Followed by a swift smack in the face. Glad to see you standing Tarn and .. William isn't it?" Nyx helps her fallen team-mates back to their feet and assists with the brushing down of soot from clothing. "Wren froze time and XX nearly blew 'ya all to hell. We got 'em on the run, though." Rubbing his glowing hands together once again, Atramor heals Thothwick, Tarn, William, Hans, and himself to full health. "Thothwick, do 'ya mind if I take at least 14 coins to pay off that bitch?" "Yeah, Nikolai, what Atramor says is correct. It was quite a struggle to keep the good people here safe and to protect you, and it may seem like not much has happened, but thank goodness you are safe, and there are still people here to hear your speech. Oh and Atramor, don't worry about healing me or Tarn, our Barbarianness allows us to regain health after battle. And Thothwick, the reason Atramor and I have a debt of gold to Wren is that she challenged us to be able to come to fight with you guys. I think I owe the old hag 10 gold or something. " Quote

Pandora Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Apologies for being knocked down so early in the fight. I am shamed that I could not stay on my feet and take out more bombs." "Tarn, from what I could see, you were pushing yourself to the limit, and I can only respect that. Every fight shapes us and moulds us into the people we are to become, even if we are knocked down." "Indeed, Ms. Nyx I believe? I haven't been fully introduced with you. William Harkenshire. Ranger." "Yes indeed I am Nyx, don't worry about the Ms or anything, just Nyx is fine. You're not going to mind too much if I call you Will, are you?" "Ah, of course. So Mr. Harkenshire and Mr. Tarn can still get rewarded, I shall give you both the money to pay off your debt. With my Mugging ability, I can get the money with haste." "Thothy, that's incredibly generous of you! If there are any discrepancies then we should be able to sort them out at the end of the quest, but thank you!" Quote

Your wise words give comfort." Quote
CMP Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "That's better," Atramor mumbles as Thothwick hands him the amount needed to pay off Wren. He then just hovers near the back of the party, meticulously scrubbing down Ratsbane's blade. "Mr. Nikolai, I suggest you get yourself to the front lines before ya' cost us any more coin savin' ya'. Ironically, you're probably safer there than ya' are here." Quote

Zepher Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) "You don't need to dress it up or make it seem like I'm not grateful. I believe you saved my life, and I thank you for it. I will make sure the Emperor rewards you for it fairly. I will head to the front lines tomorrow. You should return to Drakencourt. If the assassins have made their first attempt, surely many more will follow. Be safe, heroes." Nikolai walks out of the marketplace with his soldiers.

You should take something nice for yourself next time." The heroes return to Drakencourt, relieved that they were not buried in rubble along with their charge. When they arrive, it is night. They are greeted by two familiar faces on the street next to the Palace. "Heroes, please report. I am anxious to hear how the speech went." "And when you are done with that, we get to tell you what we did with our day," adds Felton with a wink. Edited April 29, 2012 by Zepher Quote

Nikolai is alive, but then so is Wren and XX, but then so are we and all the people at the marketplace. We killed a few of Wren and XX's lackeys though, so at least somebody died. " Quote

Zepher Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 "The fact that XX and Wren walk alive doesn't bother me. You were asked to protect Nikolai, and that is what you did. Thank you for not failing me, heroes." "About our day then. One of your charges showed up, unexpectedly, in Drakencourt. A certain Dragon Knight commander named Constance. I trailed her for the day to make sure nothing bad happened to her. Phil advised me to pick up some cloths so I'd blend in better as well, so I did that... speaking of which, heroes, it struck me that perhaps you're missing an item or two you wish you had... namely Phoenix Essences? I spoke to the Emperor on your behalf, and he has agreed to send out a little errand boy tomorrow if you'd like to have him pick up anything. So, tell me what you want and I'll send out the boy tomorrow. You're lucky I'm charming enough to talk to the Emperor for you. Phil tells me that they don't let just anyone talk to him." Felton seems to be back to his normal happy-go-lucky self. The heroes arrival has rejuvenated him, it would appear. "...while we're over here, my name is Victor..." "Place your orders with Felton, and then we can hit the hay." (prices for goods are such in Dastan (price of good in Eubric + 10 gold. And seriously, you guys want some Phoenix Essences. ) Quote
Pandora Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Yay, shopping! I looove shopping! But we're not going, and I don't have any money anyway. So I guess we'd best get some Phoenix Essences, but how many? Also, should we ask nicely for anything else while Felton's kindly shopping for us? Some Potions, or Remedies, or Bombs?" Quote
CMP Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Well, I'm broke, but if anyone wants to buy me Smellin' Salts so that I can keep ya'll alive easier in the tougher battles, be my guest. Your life, after all. And Hans, maybe you should buy a Phoenix Essence. You've got money." Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 OOC: Zepher, did you take into account that Thothwick gave Nyx and Atramor the money to pay off their debts to Wren. Atramor is registered as still in debt to Wren. Quote

Professor Flitwick Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Right, we're going to need some Phoenix Essences, apparently. Mr. Hans, would you be willing to purchase one? I myself shall purchase three, does anyone think we'll need more? Of course, when they arrive, I'll distribute them amongst the group, so no one will be rendered unconscious with all the essences."

They are surprised to see, instead of Felton, Hans, or Phil - Mallelio. The man takes a moment to collect himself, he seems to have a childish nervousness and excitement as he speaks. He is gentle, and all the heroes feel at ease as the words flow forth from his mouth. "Good morning heroes! Just the people I wanted to see! I just ran into Victor in the palace, and he said that if I wanted to see you, I should come here. He also told me to tell you that the boy with your purchases will be back this evening, and also that Felton and Hans... whoever they may be... have left Drakencourt for the day to hunt down Wren... a name I do recognize..." "I talked to the Emperor last night, and told him that I intended to go out for the day. He told me that I must ask that you accompany me. I have been reading, over the last few days, of an ancient artifact called the 'Dragon Tooth', and I believe I have found it's resting place. I wish to go retrieve it. I hear rumors that the Chimera may rise again soon, and as the Court Mage, I feel that it is my responsibility to the Emperor and to the people to be prepared! So, what say you heroes?" Edited April 30, 2012 by Zepher Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Good morn, Mr. Mallelio. We are familiar with the legend of the Chimera; I received a... message at the beginning of our journey that it was being re-risen. I'm certainly happy to help with alleviating the stoppage of the Chimera's rebirth." Quote
CMP Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Atramor rubs the side of his head groggily, but is pleased that his Ether has been restored. "Well, how would this Dragon Tooth help us fight Chimeras?" Quote
Pandora Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Mr Mallelio, we are here to protect you. We go where you go, but I too am curious about this Dragon's tooth. Is it a weapon that can pierce the side of the Chimera? Or does it wield magical properties to aid a great spell against the Chimera?" Quote
Fred Daniel Yam Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 "Indeed Mr. Mallelio. It is fascinating to look for artifacts." Whispering to the party. "Could be a trap. Be wary." Quote
