Rumble Strike Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Guts hands the Shackles of War to Nerwen and 30 gold, and gives 40 gold to Mizuki, Maurice, Sorrow and Nagure each. Using some of his own gold. Guts then uses the key to free the prisoners. "You move fast like lightning, Guts. Good fighting there." Maurice heals himself and poor Sorrow as well.

Hlin strides out with a big smile on his face, and Vres and Laxadaisi follow eagerly. "Thank you heroes, it is gratifying to see you all coming to rescue Hlin Horrkkba, Grand Adventurer Extrordinaire, and his erstwhile and dependable companions Vres and Laxadaisi." At this, the two roll their eyes, although it is clear that they are fond of Hlin regardless. "Look where your Grand Adventuring skills got us, Hlin!" "It is good to be free of that cell, I couldn't listen to Hlin prattle on much longer. I was going to get Rex to gnaw my arm off instead." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 "Right, right. Anything you can tell us that will help? I think you can guess why we are here, besides rescuing you lot. I hope we can count on you to help us in the remainder of our mission? Where´s your equipment? And miss, we were hoping you´d be able to resupply us." Quote
Endgame Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I stagger up to my feet. "Hello Hlin, long time no see. Went off to do some adventuring, eh?" Quote
Costy Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I toss Maurice my heavy armor. "Here, you might want to borrow this." Quote
Etzel Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 "Greetings adventurers, it's a pleasure to meet you. Hlin, I've heard a lot about you, I think our combine forces will work well together." I toss Maurice my heavy armor. "Here, you might want to borrow this." "That's very kind of you, Nagure. Thank you very much, and good timing too. I just felt like I've grown strong enough to equip a third artifact." Maurice puts on the borrowed Heavy Armour (SP:5) Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 "Hm, Nagure, could you perhaps lend me your axe? If we are to face Sorona and her freaks again, I could use a better weapon than this butterknife." Guts points at the Hollow Dagger strapped to his leg. "The bitch is immune to her creation, Lifestealer. She can´t be hurt by it, I held the blade at her throat but she was protected from it as by a wall. I am very sure it´s magic is dark. Sometimes I think the blade has a will of it´s own, craving for blood, or that is Sorona´s will... I do not know, but I´m not about to give it up, I killed many foes with it and it´s sharper than any weapon I´ve ever handled, and I´ve been an arms dealer in Strivvi, not that that will mean anything to any of you..."

I hope we can count on you to help us in the remainder of our mission? Where´s your equipment? And miss, we were hoping you´d be able to resupply us." Hlin's brash demeanour faded for an instant. "You probably know more than we do. We pretty much got rounded up by the first patrol of Guardsmen we saw. Although that was mainly Vres's fault and clearly not mine." "I wasn't really cut out to be an infiltrator, Hlin. I told you I wanted to help, but had no idea it would be like this! Martial law, people being rounded up in the streets... It's even worse than when that Sorrow woman tortured me." "I remember two of you heroes from my magic shop," - Here Laxadaisi smiles at Nerwen, "It is good to see you again, although I never imagined it would be in circumstances like these. Did the Naga ever use that magic hairbrush? Sorry, here I am, talking nineteen to the dozen and not answering your questions. I did have a satchel with me full of useful consumables from the shop, but it was taken when I was put in here. Hlin's sword was taken too." I stagger up to my feet. "Hello Hlin, long time no see. Went off to do some adventuring, eh?" "Some of you will know me as a more corrupt official of the law than I care to admit back then, but the others will remember how good I was with a blade. Once we had stopped the Maginastra and saved the children, including my darling Vell, I felt the position of Captain of the Ve'er Town Watch to be stifling my considerable talents. The Maginastra - what an enigma he is, I am sure he is of the aoi - came back often to Ve'er, and we spoke of events elsewhere. He told me of Haroka's dark stain on this part of the world, and I, knowing that it was Ve'er that had inadvertently sheltered this foul blight for centuries, decided to act. So I resigned my commission and journeyed far from my sleepy little town. Convinced Vres and Laxadaisi to come with me too. But I have been a fool. It is far too dangerous for us all here." "Greetings adventurers, it's a pleasure to meet you. Hlin, I've heard a lot about you, I think our combine forces will work well together." "That's very kind of you, Nagure. Thank you very much, and good timing too. I just felt like I've grown strong enough to equip a third artifact." Maurice puts on the borrowed Heavy Armour (SP:5) "Well met, Paladin. Any friend of Sorrow, Mizuki and Nagure is one I consider to be a friend also. I admire their bravery and dedication, as shown by all Heroes of Heroica. I owe you a great debt."

Guts checks to see what the bottle contains on the stand next to the barred area. Guts looks at the bottle, which is labelled Spring Water from the glorious Mistaria Mountains. Vres looks unhappy as he addresses Guts and the others. "I really wanted to help, especially after the heroes of Heroica helped me and my wife Jui a year ago. I wanted to make a difference. But, I've not been much use since we arrived in this infernal city. Mostly I'm just scared." "Your heart is in the right place, Vres. But if Hlin thinks it best, we shall take our leave and head back to Ve'er. Whatever you find in my satchel, if it is indeed in the Armoury, shall be yours." "I thank you with all my heart for coming with me on this adventure. But we have these heroes now. Maybe it would be for the best if you go back to Ve'er. I should never have brought you along. I have my incredible good looks and skill with a blade to get by in this horrible place. You and Vres, you have... you have your... what you have. It's clearly not enough. I can fight alongside my giant Yeti friend, the ninja girl and the sarcastic undead one once again! Yes, a fine hollow-bladed dagger would be a suitable weapon until such time as I find one of my own!" Edited January 2, 2013 by Rumble Strike Quote

Chromeknight Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Nerwen greeted Vres and Laxadaisi warmly. It is good to see you both whole. I feared, when I heard the Maginistra's words, that you would be hurt. Do not be downcast Vres, home and Jui wait for you. Thank you Laxadaisi for your generous offer. And yes, Sarick did use the brush. He looked most strange with a thick head of hair. But I believe it all fell out the next time he shed his skin, as Naga do. I wish you safety for the journey back, the Maginistra has provided a magic door in the trees to the south of the town. Nerwen swivelled to face the flamboyant swordsman. So Hlin, you took my advice and became a hero. But you have indeed been a fool. You ought to have sought us out. We would gladly have followed you, rather than you dragging these fine people across the sea to a cramped cell. No matter. We are here now. Share with us all you have discovered regarding the Dark General and we will draw blades and vanquish the foe together. Pausing for a moment, Nerwen spoke softly to Sorrow I am sorry that I was not able to heal you in battle. Perhaps it is because I am not quite sure what you are. Unfortunately now does not seem to be the time to hear your tale. But be assured, I do want to hear it. Edited January 3, 2013 by Chromeknight Quote

It seems my hubris got my friends and myself into a lot of trouble. Be safe, Laxadaisi, Vres, I will see you again soon, after we have defeated the Dark General and prevented the Great Scourge. You won't go wrong with a swashbuckling master of the blade at your side! But alas, I do not know of Haroka's plans. We were really spies for Byverion. Things took a turn for the worse when the Tower appeared. It was so sudden. Just loomed out over the water looking ominous. I sent word to Byverion and it had him all a flutter, talking about the Tyrant's Tower and how it would mark the beginning of the End of Days. He said for us to keep watch whilst he came up with a plan. Well, you know how that turned out. I was hoping that you had one." QM Note: I'll get you to the Armoury tomorrow, I promise!

Chromeknight Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I murmur back. "I'm not sure what I am. For all I know, I may be an undead elf. And since healing doesn't seem to be harmful to me, I seem to be stuck in some sort of limbo: the appearance of the undead and the interior of a living person. Amazing how skin makes all the difference..." Such a thing is not... impossible. There is much about magic and necromancy that I do not know, but know elements. Undead creations mirror their creators, but necromancers are often obsessed and violent. Their creatures are means to an end, not an end in themselves. Witness, Sonora and her sisterhood, how many do you think she would sustain if she is successful in her quest to end all other life? Nerwen shuddered, the thought of the cacophonous music of life being still clearly distressing her. Returning to her original thought she continued, You seem to be endowed with purpose, but what it is I can not say, nor can I read it from your form or state. Ether is a complex thing to manipulate, and there are as many ways to do it as there are people. Each ether-user has their own idosyncratic style... Her thought trailed off and she shrugged. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Knowing that they needed to vacate the prison area, the party, now bolstered by the inspirational Hlin, said their goodbyes to Laxadaisi and Vres. Night was falling in Miranda, and a steady drizzle of rain masked the pair who slipped off towards the landing area the party had used with the Maginastra's mansion. "I hope they will be OK!" murmured Hlin, in an uncharacteristicly low voice. "They are good, brave people." He made eye contact with the others, and a big smile replaced his frown. "Now, let's get you some consumables!" The party headed west towards the nearby Armoury. The darkness and the sheets of rain meant that the party were concealed, apart from Nagure whose new armour still gleamed white. The Armoury was built in a similar style to the prison, oppressive black stone walls loomed over them, with weapon racks leaning against them. Before the party could search anything, however, they heard a sneering voice. "I knew these fools would be back. Now we will finally crush them!" The party have also run into Lord Arkyll and his Guardsmen, along with the Riot Cart which is somewhat implausibly inside the Armoury as well. Prepare for battle! The Enemies Riot Cart *Immune to Instant Kill* *Immune to Sleep* *Immune to Fragile* Level 30 Mechanical Health: 800/800 Defence: 15 Special: Riot Net - The Riot Cart fires off a net which ensnares two random party members (decided by dice roll).

Etzel Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Maurice follows the orders from his party leader and attacks the cowardly Uvarii from the front row. Quote
Chromeknight Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Nerwen replies, Crush us? Have you been practicing your crushing? Perhaps you tried scrunching some paper, or smashing an insect? Although, I would be surprised if you managed either by yourself. Did you need help from the big hat to do it? Are you relying on power that is not your own? Nerwen aims her words to goad Arkyll to anger, opening him to a strike from her mace. Arkyll, back row, mace. Edited January 5, 2013 by Chromeknight Quote
