Myrddyn Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 "Ah, good fight, miss. I'm ready to meet your friend whenever these guys are."
Dannylonglegs Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 OoC: I should have 5 tonics. Sylph drank a tonic.
herrJJ Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Nessa was stunned after her last shots. She had not seen this coming. 'This power is strong in you. Just focus on killing and spoiling blood and everything you desire will come true. Imagine it... more gold than you can carry. More gems. More of everything! Mwahahahahaha' 'This is not the way of righteousness. Just follow the path of guarding the innocent. Greed is nothing I have taught you.' Those feelings and thoughts overwhelmed Nessa. The fight was over but the struggle still continued. Was she ever able to find peace? All those impressions made her faint. She fell to the ground in front of the party, not moving, barely breathing. "Help me...", she whispered. OOC: BOOM Sorry if I may hold you up... but it's important. I may not post in the next few hours (sleeping) so just decide on what's next. Perhaps somebody could carry Nessa? Just a thought Edited June 3, 2013 by herrJJ
Dannylonglegs Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 "Oh great." Stated Sylph. "Someone pick-up the ranger."
Vash the Stampede Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 "Oh great." Stated Sylph. "Someone pick-up the ranger." "I'd do it but I'm sure the monk would rather." "Can't let an unconscious person get in the hands of a 'demon' that seeks to take her soul."

CMP Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Zasies rolls her eyes, and slings Nessa over her shoulder effortlessly. "I have a healer friend too. He could help with khrnmalv here." She exits the bar, the party close at her heels. It's about midafternoon as the heroes walk through Eubric, the streets fully awake with all manner of people and creatures going about their business. She's heading southeast, and after a few minutes, it becomes obvious why; the Selkreeth has led them to the docks. She strides down one of the piers, up a gangplank, and onto an aged-looking brig, though the stark white paint says otherwise. Zasies drops Nessa unceremoniously, the elven ranger landing with a thump on the deck, and then leans against the railing, next to a wicked-looking mace. A hobgoblin - his coat, as promised, looking tattered and blue - looks up at the newcomers, while the dwarf blinks at them, halting right in the middle of a drink. "Here we are." The hobgoblin looks down at the motionless Nessa in horror. "Fafief! Wha haf ou ome?? Illwia faif 'mo mow bawfighf!' Oh Awok, ook' a af fhe poow fig..." The incomprehensible greenskin kneels down to Nessa, checking for signs of life. The dwarf looks from Zasies, to the downed elf, to the standing heroes. "...Oi. Ehh...ye'll have to forgive Zasies, lass is a bit..." "A bit what?" "...Eager....for a fight." "....True enough, hah. But she's not my fault." "Then, eh....who're yer friends?" He looks up at the heroes, setting aside his drink for a moment. Edited June 4, 2013 by CallMePie
Dannylonglegs Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) "Hello, sir. I am Sylph Solanum, a Druid. These are my companions. To be frank, we are looking for a murderer... and your friend in the blue coat fits the description. Would you mind if I ask him a few questions?" Stated Sylph, arriving at the scene. OoC: I love these guys! Edited June 4, 2013 by Dannylonglegs
CMP Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 You didn't think I'd leave them out would you? "....Knifey? For a murder." The dwarf stares, then starts laughing heartily, shaking his head and wiping tears out of his beard. The hobgoblin just stares at Sylph's words. "Go ahead, go ahead....always surprises me how much worse your luck can get, my friend, eh? Oh, I'm Melvin, by the way, and this is Knife-Tongue....for reasons that'll become....eh, clear enough." Having confirmed Nessa's still alive, Knife-Tongue stands. "Wha 'o 'ou wamf a mow?"
Vash the Stampede Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Dreyrugr saw that they were being led to the docks and tightened his hands inside his gloves. He didn't feel sick like he normally did as he followed Zasies onto the ship. He then figured best to leave a more diplomatic hero to do the talking.
Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Grumpy looking orc, putting on a horrific accent. Would love to see him in fetters! I approach the dwarf, "Greetings...Melven, are you the captain of this lovely vessel?" These guys! Edited June 4, 2013 by Palathadric
CMP Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) "Eh, no. That'd be Illdria, she's down in her cabin, talking with Jules." "We need Jules, to heal this one." Zasies nudged Nessa with her foot. Melvin frowned. "Jules ain't a healer, Zasies. He's a necromancer." "Oh. We kill her first?" ".......Err.......I was thinking we just wait for her to wake up." "Bah. Magic never around when you need it." Edited June 4, 2013 by CallMePie
Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I grimace at Zasies' words. "Is the orange thing a crew member of yours? How long has she worked with you? What about the orc?"
herrJJ Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Nessa awoke. With signs of fear she opened up her eyes and looked around. "Where am I?" 'A ship? Oh, not again!' "How did I get here?" She saw Zasies and the rest of her team. 'Why does it always have to be ships?' 'Those over there seem to be easy prey. Kill them. Kill them. They deserve it. They've kidnapped you. And something of worth might be around. Just kill them and we'll see what's next.' 'Why should you do that? As if loot was everything. Listen, just get up and see how you might help finding the murderer, would you?' "Silence! All two of you." Nessa whispered to herself looking up. She got up and introduced herself to the crew. "My name is Nessa Anárion. Hero of Heroica at your service. We are here to solve a case of murder. Is it possible to talk to the captain of this ship and that necromancer you spoke of?"
CMP Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 I grimace at Zasies' words. "Is the orange thing a crew member of yours? How long has she worked with you? What about the orc?" "This orange thing has been on crew for six months, monk." "I'm a hobgobwim, fir, amb have beem wokim om fhe Magpie fow awoum fhwee yeawf mow." She got up and introduced herself to the crew. "My name is Nessa Anárion. Hero of Heroica at your service. We are here to solve a case of murder. Is it possible to talk to the captain of this ship and that necromancer you spoke of?" "I suppose, if ye needed to."
Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 CMP, was it "yesterday" that the murder happened or a couple "days" ago? I take the dwarf a bit to the side and use diplomacy. "Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions about this "Knife" fellow? As we said, we are investigating a murder, so it is a rather serious issue. He was seen at a certain inn with Zasies. I'm not sure what the rules are on this ship, but did he ask for permission to leave the ship and if so, did he tell you where he was going?"
Dannylonglegs Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Snip "Ok." Stated Sylph, getting his berrings. "Knife-throat, was it? You've been seen entering and leaving the Winking Gargoyle every day for the past week. What is the reason for this? Are you familiar with a businessman named Rorik?" Sylph surveyed the scene, attempting to ascertain whether the hobgoblin had a dagger, and also just to see what was going on with the boat. OoC: Evidently, I lied.

Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I whisper to Sylph, "Really, he went there daily for a full week?"
Dannylonglegs Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I whisper to Sylph, "Really, he went there daily for a full week?" "That's the impression I got from the Bartender." Stated Sylph.
Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 HerrJJ, are the red and blue words in Nessa's head or are they audible?
herrJJ Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 HerrJJ, are the red and blue words in Nessa's head or are they audible? OOC: if the words are in italics and marked with a single quote they are in her head. Otherwise she speaks driven by her "inner demons" "I'd say we finish these here off as well and take their cargo. To hell with the murder. What do we get from this loitering?"
Palathadric Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Monk Pretzel looks at Nessa. "Oh, dear! What's up with her? Have any of you quested with her before?"
