Pyrovisionary Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) "Grabian, what would you say if we could re-unite you with your brother? Would you allow us to have our money back then?" Edited January 1, 2013 by Skyrimguy Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 "Sarge, calm yourself down, I'll speak some sense into Grabian." Turning to Grabian Erdathcath speaks "Let's see your friends attacked us, we killed them, and you think we would just walk away from here without taking any of the loot which is rightfully ours? Perhaps it is time we taught you a little lesson concerning war and history, though mostly war. When two people or two groups don't like each other, they fight, whoever wins is the one that lives to tell the tale, and gets anything belonging to the enemy, as the enemy is now dead. Therefore, by that logic anything that is here belongs to us now, if you wish to stop us, you had better have the strength to fight us, which I doubt you have, since you were hiding. Otherwise, we will take what we want and leave you here. Your choice." Quote
Pyrovisionary Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Sarge is knocked in the head by a very large package. Far of in the distance, someone goes "Ho ho ho!" sarge opens the package excitedly, and gasps at the wonders inside! To monk pretzel, he hands: Tasty Pretzel (Consumable) - 1/3 chance each of granting lucky, hastened and encouraged-effects upon consumption. To Erdathcath he hands: Amulet of Optimism (Artefact) - Adds the confused-effect to all attacks; suitable to Erdathcath only; accessory. And for himself, he unpackages a: Pegleg of Hastening (Artefact) - Grants a permanent hastened-effect to the user; suitable to Sarge only; footwear. Sarge immediately equips his new pegleg, and comments "This'll stop me having trouble moving around!" Edited January 2, 2013 by Skyrimguy Quote
Palathadric Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I inspect the new pretzel suspiciously. "Where has this come from?" I wonder aloud. Suspecting that it may have fallen from my cart, I quickly do a count, but on double-checking confirm that all 2,356 pretzels are still intact. I hold it up to the light. "I'm saving this for later," I mutter. Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) What a beautiful amulet! It appears someone has noticed my cheerfulness. I shall wear it right now Considering that these items are only good for the rest of this quest, are we allowed to have them equipped without taking any other artifacts off? Turns out these items are permanent, so I'll equip it instead of my snake eye charm. Edited January 2, 2013 by The_Customizer Quote
Pyrovisionary Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Considering that these items are only good for the rest of this quest, are we allowed to have them equipped without taking any other artifacts off? No, they're permanent! I apologize for the bad wording. I merely wanted to say that you shouldn't use the Grogmas Gifts topic to equip the items you got. Of course they are yours to keep for as long as you like! Quote

Pyrovisionary Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) "Erdy.. It's fruitless to argue with merchants, so let's move on." Sarge pauses a moment"Wait, hey where's Eugene. They say having cowardly friends make you look brave.." Edited January 2, 2013 by Skyrimguy Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Erdathcatth shakes her head in disbelief, and decides to quickly grab Grabian by the throat, choking, then killing him, and removing any more discussions, and proceeds to pick up whatever loot may still exist, then prepares to leave.

Flare Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Erdathcatth shakes her head in disbelief, and decides to quickly grab Grabian by the throat, choking, then killing him, and removing any more discussions, and proceeds to pick up whatever loot may still exist, then prepares to leave. Erdathcath grabs Grabian by the throat, but he has a "throat like iron", it seems he is in better shape than they thought. She doesn't manage to choke him or kill him, so she lets go of him. He glares at her hatefully as the party starts to leave. Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 "Well, I was hoping for a better turnout than that, perhaps it would be best for us to leave now. Let us continue on our original path." Quote
Flare Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 The party walks towards where the rumored power trees were supposed to be. They stop half way and build a campfire. No need to rush things, they can make it the rest of the way on the next day. The campfire burns down and everyone starts to fall asleep. "Good night, everyone." Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Right before going to sleep, Erdathcath gets a weird feeling she will want to equip her Mage's Muffler instead of the amulet.. Quote
Pyrovisionary Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Sarge snuggles up in his bedroll and sleeps the way he usually does; With one eye open and His hands on the hilts of his knives Edited January 3, 2013 by Skyrimguy Quote
Palathadric Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Flare, just in case you missed it: I look at the 100 gold eagerly, but then turn to Erdathcath: "You spent 200 gold for the mythriil shard, so I suggest you take the full 200 now and when the inventor pays us back for having bought it, we can split that up evenly. I can't really accept it now, since it is, technically, your money." "Erdy, I think you may find the amulet more likely to be useful than the muffler. The muffler is only useful if attacked by enemies with the specific strength of sealing us, whereas the amulet can be useful against any enemies. In the unlikely case that another enemy we meet has the power to seal you, you can always just switch amulets. Adam, you may as well borrow this "Magic Viper Skin" since I can't equip it at present anyway. While I am at it, let me heal you to full health since you obviously took a hit with that poson. I hope you three don't mind being on watch tonight, I feel somewhat sapped of energy, if you will." With that said and done, I sleep in my bedroll. Quote
Flare Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Adam mumbles thank you as the Monk heals him. The party drifts off to sleep... zzz...

Palathadric Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 "Let's be off, Erdy, Adam. Time's delaying, and those 'Power Trees' are calling out to us. I never knew this island could take so long to cross until we went on this little expeditition. Perhaps my maps and charts are wrong. I should take some time to map out the chart, or rather chart out the map a little better once we're through with this whole...quest. Adam, do you know how close we are to this place on the map where it says the 'Power Trees' grow?" Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Agreed, lets move on, and find those Power Trees! Quote
Flare Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 "We're almost there, I think. I've never been there." The party continues walking towards where they think that their destination is, and in a couple hours they are still walking. But they do seem to be getting somewhere. "HAIL TRAVELERS! Come to see the amazing groves of power trees! These trees have been growing strong for thousands of years, and are waiting for your visit behind the gate. Admission only 10 gold per person!" Quote
Palathadric Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 "Good day, my man! You seem like a decent fellow, but really, I would recommend you putting a shirt or something on." Here I will give you one from my bag, and you can go and change behind one of those trees, what do you say? Well, that'll be the both of you actually. By the way, don't hurry. Do you mind if we take a seat while we wait for you?" Quote
Flare Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) "Well well my good man looks like we have a funny one! Sure, we'll put on shirts once you pay the fee of 10 gold each to enter the premises." "Trust me, its a good price! I mean for---" "---Its a bargain deal for you fellows, for sure! A steal, even! Now just pay up the 40 gold and you'll be on your way to visit the power trees of yore!!" Edited January 5, 2013 by Flare Quote
Palathadric Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 "Honestly, we just so happen to be passing this place along our way, but what are these "Power Trees" of which you speak. And what are paying for...exactly? I mean, obviously we are paying to enter the premises, but what then? You fellows don't happen to be Shamens, do you? Shamens are said to always run around bare-chested." Quote
Flare Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 "Shamans? Um oh yes we are both very powerful shamans. You are paying us for giving you the privilege of seeing such a unique and important area, and all of the income we make goes towards the upkeep of the area. The power trees are really powerful trees. On these trees grow apples that give super strength. So, do ya wanna to come in or not?" Quote
