Heroica RPG - Quest #62: Insider Trading

[Kintobor]

"I vote left as well."

But i mean B.

"Well B goes straight! We go that way, we're going straight. Right?"

[xxlrocka]

"I vote straight. Straight is always the answer to things."

"No, I think it's a matter of what hand you use for writing. You're a righty, aren't you?"

"Yeah, but straight is usually the direction you have to go to complete a maze. Come on! Let's go!"

"Hold ya horses! First, you need to stand by me, spin around 3 times and do 10 star jumps in that order! Also, you have to sing the national Fortaan anthem."

"Fine."

[Dannylonglegs]

So has the Party reached a consensus? A, B., or C.?

[Kintobor]

Karie throws her new cloak over her back.

"Majority rules, we go left. [C]"

That's the decision.

[Dannylonglegs]

That's the decision.

Ah, Ok. I'll send you down C. in three hours (I have class right now. Sorry. )

The Party Chose to take the Left-most Path. They ran down it and found.....

[Dannylonglegs]

A Deadend!!!

The party raced down the street, only to encounter a thick wooden wall in-between two buildings. an assortment of trash lay strewn about, and the party could hear the scampering of millions of tiny feet around the litter.

What would the Party do??? Having come to the end of C., they had yet to explore paths A, and B.

"Told you. Told you all."

"I guess you might be right... or the possibility of me being right is still here. Let's go."

Drake went back to the start to choose a different path.

[herrJJ]

Nessa looked around for anything of interest.

[Kintobor]

Karie smashed into the wooden wall to no avail.

"Well, this is pointless!" She pulled out her fire bomb, and looks it over, then back at the wall.

"You guys think we could burn it down with this?"

[Dannylonglegs]

Nessa looked around for anything of interest.

Nessa searched the refuse, but found nothing of note, some broken chain, rotten wood, a few un-used stones, an excess of rat droppings.... Until she peered into the crate. Her glance was greeted by a thousand beady red eyes... She could understand their whispers, but no one else in the party could even hear them. "Foodss." they clamored, the gnawing, gnashing rat voices. "Foodssssssss."

Karie examined the wall.

Wall

Level 0

Type: Plant

HP: 200

Special: A Piece of fallen wood crashes onto the target, dealing 5 damage and stunning him/her, taking 30 damage itself.

Drops: Nothing. It's a wall.

[herrJJ]

"What is this? Who is talking there?" Nessa was uncertain about the voices she heared. They were different from the ones she once heared... Her mother's and Red's. What were these?

OOC: thanks DLL, Nessa didn't knew about her special job trait so far... Couldn't have it scripted better

OoC: Ooh! Glad to have helped.

"Foodss! Big Shadow Noise can hear us? The Fear! Foodssssss! Fear! Fear the Big Shadow Noise!!! It makes us foodsss with its catssss and its trapsss and its poisonssssss... Why does it come here, Big Shadow Noise? Big Shadow Noise is not our friendsssss."

The voice sounded like a legion of grating clawing children, and was more than a little unsettling. It was directing its comments at Nessa, but it was difficult to tell from the rampant grammatical mistakes. Nessa could feel the voice's (or was it more than one voice at once?) primal hunger. It was fixated on Food.

The other party members only heard silent squeaks, indistinguishable from the noise of the rain hitting the roofs and stone around them.

OoC: On a scale of 1 (Great) to 5 (Hostile), I'd say the Rats's friendliness towards the Party is at about 4. This can be improved or decreased.

"We could take out this wall fairly quickly but there is no guarantee that this is the right way."

"I defer to your decision Karie."

[Kintobor]

Karie turns her attention from the wall to Nessa.

"Having fun with those... Ew. That's a lot of rats."

Karie's stomach churned. A rat or two was fine, but the amount of eats in the crate was unsettling.

Dreyrugr looks up to see how tall the wall is.

[Dannylonglegs]

Dreyrugr looks up to see how tall the wall is.

It was about 20 feet (6 meters) tall, going up to the roofs of the shoddily-built buildings it went between. It looked difficult to climb, but not impossible. It would take time though.

Stupid American units. I'll be back once I find an online converter.

6 meters. Sorry I'm American from the States.

It's fine I found an online converter easy enough.

"Amorith I saw you release earth magic earlier. Think you could make ledges up to the roof?"

[legobodgers]

"I think I could, and I am willing to try."

Amorith then uses his garnet to make small ledges every half-metre or so up the side of the wall, if he runs out of ether he will use a tonic.

Amorith, in agreement with Dreyrugr, cast a spell that produced small ledges in the surface of the building with his garnet. The ledges creaked and crumbled into existence. The task, while not necessarily hard, expended ether roughly each two ledges, leaving Amorith with only 3 points of ether.

[Vash the Stampede]

"Thank you."

Dreyrugr climbs up the ledges.

[Dannylonglegs]

"Thank you."

Dreyrugr climbs up the ledges.

Dreyrugr Climbed up the ledges and in one swift motion, propelled himself onto the treacherous rooftops. The slick tiles on the roof couldn't provide him very much support, and he very nearly fell, grasping onto the wooden wall just in time. After he pulled himself back up, he was able to crouch atop the wall and get a relatively good look at his surroundings.

[herrJJ]

"Shshs Karie", Nessa hissed. Then she turned towards the rats. "Do you understand me? For I do understand you. Is there anything we could do for you. I guess you don't like bones, do you?" Nessa tried to speak as calming and loving as possible to show she meant no harm to the animals. If they liked to have a bone Nessa would give one to them.

"It looks like if you go back around the other way b you might get close to the exit."

Dreyrugr took off his shoes and gloves and got down on all fours for better grip letting his instincts guide him. Dreyrugr then estimates how far it is across to the next ledge.
