Heroica RPG - Quest #44: My Best Friend

[Flare]

Benji thinks to himself... "I doubt this friend of hers is human, or anything close to human, he must be from some other unnoble species that lives here in the slums..."

Benji loudly announces to the group: "I think we should head to the basement right away. Lets find her friend. Lets go."

[Wedge09]

Alexander heard the answer from Skuld and then heard Benji saying that the lost friend isn't a human.

I agree totally with you, Benji, the friends of her isn't a human. He eat spiders and I think this isn't the best food avalaible Said that, I think it's time to move and go to this basement

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra clicked to the other heroes, "It not good idea to rush into quest and so little information. It will backfire. Group still not know all relevant facts, some which should be easy for quest giver to know."

[Sandy]

QM Note: So sorry again, the quest will continue on the weekend. I've just had too many things going this week.

[Flare]

IC: De'kra clicked to the other heroes, "It not good idea to rush into quest and so little information. It will backfire. Group still not know all relevant facts, some which should be easy for quest giver to know."

"Perhaps you are right. But then where should we go?"

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra shrugged and replied, "Well, I suggest we wait at least until all questions ask, then go to cellar. Something to consider before we go, why Skuld mother not want her around young males. Is it rivalry, is it related to egg-lay, or something else? If it part of culture, it might limit where male members of this group can go. That one reason to wait to go to cellar until all questions get answer. No offense meant Skuld if I say something rude."

That one reason to wait to go to cellar until all questions get answer. No offense meant Skuld if I say something rude."

"Well, their whole tribe is comprised of females, it must be something to do with that. Maybe we should meet the clan leader?"

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra clicked, "Maybe, though if heroes head there we should avoid mention Skuld's friend or Skuld visits to cellar. I might be wrong, but I get impression it bad idea to mention those things, they seem like secrets. By way Skuld, in case it not clear, can you tell we why you mother not want you play and boys?"

[JimBee]

Hybros flips one of his throwing knives in his hand idly, then steps over to Cinna, the dark mage he had met some time in the hall.

"Eheh... so what do you think of all this? I am not one to stand around waiting for someone to pick a fight, but you can handle yourself in battle just fine, hehe..."

[Darkdragon]

Cinna looks over and nods to the imp.

"As can you. The situation in the square there was horrible, but I'm glad you decided to step in and fight. If we don't all stick together we will be lost."

She looks over at Skuld, who's still talking with some of the heroes,and then back at Hybros.

"I just hope we can help the child find her friend. So far, things have been going strangely for us and I can't see them getting any better. A human boy that eats spiders? Have you ever heard of such a thing?"

Shaking her head sadly, she leans in and whispers to him.

"(I get the feeling this may all be some sort of trick. It's happened to me more than once and I'm extremely suspicious of everything the girl has said so far. It just doesn't all add up if you ask me.)"

[Tachyon]

Mizuki says to Benji and Hybros "Can't you track down Skuld's friend ?" before pulling out her magic compass and using it to find the right way to go.

[Sandy]

"By way Skuld, in case it not clear, can you tell we why you mother not want you play and boys[/i]?"

Sküld rolls her large skyblue eyes.

"Uh, she's just being a mother. Don't you have one, then? Oh, we're already here!"

Sküld points at a multistoried house down the street, and runs to the door.

"This is it, the house of the Nôrns. Me and mother live at the bottom floor. Come on, everyone, let's go ask her if I get to go with you!"

Sküld opens the door to her home. The party is too large to fit to the crammed up appartment, so most of them have to stay outside. There's two women of the nôrnkind already inside. They seem to be bickering about something.

"...It's been over a year and we're still living here in the dumps!"

"But Ürd, if you want to leave, I'm not holding you back."

"And forsake my tribe?! And what about Sküld? She barely survived the trip here..." The nôrn then notices that the girl has come in. "Oh, Sküld! What are you doing home this early? And who are all these people with you?"

"It seems your daughter has urgent business to discuss with you, Ürd", said the other nôrn, who was wearing a winged helmet. "I will talk to you later."

The helmet-wearing nôrn left the appartment, giving a mysterious smile at the party as she passed them.

"Mother, what did you and Åsa argue about?"

"Don't be nosey, Sküld", Ürd sighed. "It was adult business. Now you answer me why you have brought all these warriors to our house. They don't look like people that a little girl should spend time with."

"I hired them from Heroica! We're going to find Shaun together. He's gone missing."

Ürd's eyes widen.

"Heroica?! There's no way we can afford their services! And I forbade you from playing in that house with that boy! Why must you defy me so?"

"But mother! Shaun is my only friend, I told you that! And these people came to help me for 1 gold each. They're really nice, trust me!"

"Oh, Sküld... You are too gullible." Ürd then turns to the party. "I ask for your forgiveness, ladies and gentlemen, but my daughter acted behind my back. I will talk to her about this. We will not waste anymore of your time."

Sküld bursts into tears.

"Mother, you can't send them away!"

What will the party reply?

[Flare]

Benji was one of the heroes that manage to squeeze into the room. He turns to the mother, Ürd, and speaks in a quiet but firm voice. "Ma'am, if the problem is money, then I would be more then willing to impart with you a small sum of money that I'm sure would help you. I require no payment to help a poor girl to find her only friend. It would be a pity to return to the hall after doing nothing, after coming all this way... I want to help your daughter. I understand how she must feel right now, I also had a rough childhood and didn't have many friends." After saying this, Benji steps back in a gruff way and seems a bit less friendly then he did before. But he continues to speak in a quiet voice, no matter if Ürd can hear or not. "I can find Shaun. I can track him down, and either free him, or choke him, or whatever needs to be done. I came here for a job and I'm not leaving til I am satisfied."

[Fred Fred Burger]

Chris stuck his head in the door "aye mam, gold isn't an issue, were just here to help in any way we can."

[Wedge09]

Being heard from the door, Alexander says: I don't like to leave a job unfinished and Shaun is the only friend of your daughter, I can find him. However, I don't understand why you don't want your daughter to be friends with Shaun; I think that this deserves an explanation.

[Sandy]

However, I don't understand why you don't want your daughter to be friends with Shaun; I think that this deserves an explanation.

"First of all, I have never seen this Shaun. Sküld says he does not want to leave that basement he lives in. Secondly, I was born and raised in a tribe of all women, so getting used to you menfolk still takes getting used to. Especially after what happened in Nôrnia a year ago... But I'd rather not discuss that with Sküld being present."

"Mother, please. I already know about the vikings that destroyed our old home. Stop treating me like a child."

"Sküld. You are seven. You are still a child."

[Flare]

"First of all, I have never seen this Shaun. Sküld says he does not want to leave that basement he lives in. Secondly, I was born and raised in a tribe of all women, so getting used to you menfolk still takes getting used to. Especially after what happened in Nôrnia a year ago... But I'd rather not discuss that with Sküld being present."

"I would be very much interested to hear about the history of your tribe, if you have the time."

[JimBee]

Cinna looks over and nods to the imp.

"As can you. The situation in the square there was horrible, but I'm glad you decided to step in and fight. If we don't all stick together we will be lost."

She looks over at Skuld, who's still talking with some of the heroes,and then back at Hybros.

"I just hope we can help the child find her friend. So far, things have been going strangely for us and I can't see them getting any better. A human boy that eats spiders? Have you ever heard of such a thing?"

Shaking her head sadly, she leans in and whispers to him.

"(I get the feeling this may all be some sort of trick. It's happened to me more than once and I'm extremely suspicious of everything the girl has said so far. It just doesn't all add up if you ask me.)"

"I agree, hehe... there is something that is not right here, but I believe this girl to be innocent. It is her friend that I am worried about."

Mizuki says to Benji and Hybros "Can't you track down Skuld's friend ?" before pulling out her magic compass and using it to find the right way to go.

"I am sure that we will find clues in the basement that he lives in. I can not simply track him down without knowing exactly what it is I'm looking for, eheh...".

Seeing the girl's mother, Hybros bowed his head slightly. "I assure you that we came here on no false pretenses. We are... here to help." He almost muttered the last part.

[Sandy]

"I would be very much interested to hear about the history of your tribe, if you have the time."

"Honestly, I'm surprised you care about it. Our tribe has met nothing but misery ever since we stranded here in this city. If it was't for our leader, Åsa Nifelheimr, we would have surely perished already. To think that only a handful of us remain from the hundreds of women from our tribe. The glory of Nôrnia is but a sad memory... Our land lies far north in the distant corner of the Land of Chill, as you know it. Our inherent magic protected us from the greed and lust of men - up until last year. The barbaric Shaman King found a way to null our magic, and he and his men laid waste to our villages, raping and murdering most of us. I don't know what happened to other nôrnian tribes, but the women living in this house are the last from ours. We only give birth if our Goddess wishes so, and there has been no child after Sküld. I fear we are too far from the Goddess now, so she has abandoned us..."

Tears fill the nôrnian woman's eyes, and Sküld takes her hand in an attempt to console her.

"But mother, we have a new goddess now! If only you'd accept Fabula Sibylla to your heart..."

"I told you not to practice conversion under this roof, Sküld. I only let you into that temple because Åsa recommended it." Ürd sighed heavily again. She was seemingly tired and frustrated. "Anyway, we've lived in this hellhole, if you pardon my expression, for over a year now, with no hope for a better life. Åsa joined your organization, Heroica, as soon as we came here, but that hasn't done much good for the rest of us. I think we are still too traumatized to really trust this patriarchal society - and this city in particular is not kind towards the meek. I have asked Åsa to take us elsewhere, but she firmly believes this is where we need to be."

"The Oracle said so to her."

"Sküld, please... I understand this is the only life you've known, but things were so much better in Nôrnia. We had peace and prosperity there, under the watchful eyes of the Goddess. The true Goddess, not your winged fortuneteller."

[Scubacarrot]

"Look Ma'm, while you should never forsake your own heritage, I really don't care. Your daughter has shown that she posesses resourcefulness and intelligence for seeking out Heroica, especially for a child of only seven, and I don't want to let that go unrewarded. We will find this "Shaun", no cost or reward required. I will see to it personally that your daughter remains unharmed in the process."

[Sandy]

Ürd lets out a deep sigh.

"I guess I don't have a choice. Sküld, go with these people, then, and find this friend of yours. Just come back home safely. If a group this big cannot protect you, nothing can."

"Oh, thank you, mother! I promise I will stay out of harm's way. Let's go, everyone, to the House of the Dragon!"

Sküld joins the party! During a battle, any hero can opt to protect Sküld instead of fighting, suffering whatever damage is aimed at her. If the protecting hero or heroes are defeated, Sküld will take the excess damage. If Sküld is knocked out without being revived during the battle, the quest will fail.

As the party is about to head off, they are stopped by Åsa Nifelheimr.

"Aren't you a bit young to join Heroica, little one?" the nôrn leader muses.

"Åsa! Mother already gave me permission to go with these people. I hope you're not forbidding me..."

"No, you go on ahead. Just remember that you are very dear to all of us. It is unknown when one of us will get pregnant again. Our Goddess is a fickle one, and not well taken here in the south. But us mortal beings have no place doubting the influence that a deity has. But you have a different goddess than the rest of us, little one. That means you walk on a different path. I truly hope you find your friend - and happiness. Those are precious things to have in this city."

Does the party want to ask something from Åsa?

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra dips his head in respect to the Norn and clicks, "I understand you concern. Or at least, I think. Not too long ago I people suffer massive cataclysm and purge of our hero...caste, and I still have no clue where they are now. Though I know that they probably not be on this world. When so little left, single story hold weight of world on its back. Child is even greater. We will protect her and ensure her safety."

[Darkdragon]

Hearing that the young girl will be continuing on the quest with the party, Cinna slips quietly to the very back of the group, shaking her head.

"Oh no, not again."

[Scubacarrot]

"Quit talking gibberish, Demonspawn, we got some creepy spidereating kid to save, let's go."

[-obelix-]

Having so far been with the group outside of the building Thalion joins up.

"Do not worry mistress Asa. we will do everything in our power to protect little Sküld!"

Thalion looked at the new party member and smiled.

"Sküld, my name is Thalion. Do not worry we will find Shaun; so can you show us where your friend lives!?"

Turning to the rest of the party he said, lowering his voice: "We shouldn't make any rash decisions about the boy, seeing how we know almost nothing of what we're dealing with. Lets thread carefully and gather more details so we cam see the whole picture."
