Scubacarrot Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 "U-Um, I heard about it at the Academy and I th-thought it w-wouldn't hurt to take a look....the potion thing's supposed to c-cure all afflictions, and I thought maybe I could get some for my sister and see if it'd...well....I don't know...." he finished lamely. "Most people generally don't r-recognize me anyway, my father's the head of the family, and he's got an, um.....very distinctive appearance, I guess." "If something to cure your father and sister´s affliction could be made, it would have been done already. I believe your father is not one that would give up easy on those matters. From what I´ve heard you´re smart enough that you should know that. Run home now. If I recognized you, so might others."

"But...it's the Masked M-Man! I mean...if anyone could cure it, it'd be the leader of the Guild of Invision, r-right?"
Scubacarrot Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 "I don´t know, kid. I´ll ask him for you. Now go." The raider winked at Nuitan, before shooing him away.
Etzel Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 " 'Bout the same here on my end." "Well, lets hope it will not come to that then. Are you here with someone? Or is there anyone here in the crowd that you recognize from before?" Maurice tries to sound as Diplomatic as possible when asking.
JimBee Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 "Nope, sorry. Just us gnomes, and my pal Rodney. They're all too scared of the surface world, especially since my dad got killed trying to visit it, they think it's easier just to ignore it." "Hm... nonetheless, I would like to visit there some time, if you would allow it." Hybros said with sudden interest. The dwarf looks away from muttering into his hobgoblin friend's ear. "Aye! It's a potion that's said to make one grow as tall as the trees! Hehah, what I wouldn't give for onna them...show all these big, stumpy folk who's boss, eh? Hehah." The imp pictured himself as tall as Skrall for a moment, then shook his head. "I heard otherwise. I heard it is supposed to give you everlasting life. Erm, you, mister hobgoblin, what have you heard?"
-obelix- Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Thalion turned to Hybros, "Yes master Hyrbos, we, elves do live forever (or long enough so that forever is a close approximation), tough some live longer then others I suppose. But that was a gift from the Gods! It cannot be bottled and sold at the market! The very idea of something like that is ridiculous... And besides, even we do not stay forever young, the aging is something even we cannot avoid. It doesn't come quickly like with the mortal races, it is rather slower with us, but it is inevitable." While his companions were engaged in talking to the other people, Thalion approached the green headed person, wearing a sand green cloak, "Greetings! Are you here about the unveiling event too? Have you heard anything interesting about it? I heard its about a potion that grants eternal youth..."

Nuitan gave Guts a rather cautious look before running off. "Well, lets hope it will not come to that then. Are you here with someone? Or is there anyone here in the crowd that you recognize from before?" Maurice tries to sound as Diplomatic as possible when asking. The man surprised Maurice by countering with his own Intimidation, toying with the hilt of his throwing knife idly as his beady eyes searched the paladin. "A few friends, yes. And yourself?" The imp pictured himself as tall as Skrall for a moment, then shook his head. "I heard otherwise. I heard it is supposed to give you everlasting life. Erm, you, mister hobgoblin, what have you heard?" The hobgoblin turned to Hybros, with a polite nod. "I have heaw fhaf if pofum if pewpewffef 'o gwamf fhe fwifwef a cuw fow aww mawammies. I cammaw vouf fow iwf fwuffulfes, howevew, am my fwiem Mewvim hewe haf hearf ofewfise." "Ayup. We arrived here separately, but we work on the same ship, believe it or not. I gather you're tryin' ta nail down what exact it is this brew supposed to do? Well, if the Guild's puttin' it out, it's gotta be legit, aye?" While his companions were engaged in talking to the other people, Thalion approached the green headed person, wearing a sand green cloak, "Greetings! Are you here about the unveiling event too? Have you heard anything interesting about it? I heard its about a potion that grants eternal youth..." The Pantanan seemed rather occupied at the moment - his eyes were misty and glazed and he didn't seem to be entirely present. Nonetheless, he spoke to Thalion in a deep, hollow, thrumming voice, though his words were jumbled. "See I. Fruitless eternal youth of pursuit a, interested but I am."
Scubacarrot Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Guts shaked his head at the boy running away. He then headed towards the brunette with the rope strapped to her chest. Casually, the raider said: "Hey, have you heard what exactly it is they are showing off?"
-obelix- Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 "See I. Fruitless eternal youth of pursuit a, interested but I am." "I agree. So, how is it that you are interested and what do you expect the result of this promotion would be?"
Etzel Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The man surprised Maurice by countering with his own Intimidation, toying with the hilt of his throwing knife idly as his beady eyes searched the paladin. "A few friends, yes. And yourself?" Maurice's eyes narrowed as the man gave his nonchalant answer. "Likewise, all well experienced and determined to make sure order is kept during this event." Maurice gave the man a nod and left to speak to the brown haired man(?) wearing a brown cape in front of the platform. "Excuse me, do you know anything about what is going to be unveiled by the Guild today? I've only heard some vague rumours so far."
CMP Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 "Hey, have you heard what exactly it is they are showing off?" The girl shrugs. "Not really...but the Masked Man's supposed to show up. Hasn't done in as long as anyone in Eubric can remember." "I agree. So, how is it that you are interested and what do you expect the result of this promotion would be?" "See danger. Action. Reaction. San-lohs to moves it. To adapts life." "Excuse me, do you know anything about what is going to be unveiled by the Guild today? I've only heard some vague rumours so far." The man turns, shaking his head. "I'm afraid not. I'm actually with the Guild, and I wasn't even aware of it. I heard rumors at the marketplace that the Masked Man was going to appear...I've been in the Guild for a couple years now and haven't even gotten a look." You've all got one more additional person to speak to before I kick things off.

I heard rumors at the marketplace that the Masked Man was going to appear...I've been in the Guild for a couple years now and haven't even gotten a look." "Oh, well apart from that rumor, which seems to have spread quickly, you sure know how to keep secrets in your organisation. A lot of curious persons have gathered now, do you recognize any of them?"

A lot of curious persons have gathered now, do you recognize any of them?" "Believe it not, no. I'd've thought that if the Masked Man did show up, he'd at least have some of the senior alchemists like Dr. Cula or Madame Ladybug here. Maybe they're coming with him?"
-obelix- Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 "Thank you!" Thalion made a slight bow to the strange speaking person, and returned to his fellow heroes. He heard the mumbling and saw a familiar face near Hybros, "Knife-Tongue? Is that you?"

"Maybe, I guess we will find out soon. Thanks for your time!" Maurice turns to the person with long black hair next to the guildsman. "Hello, did you by any chance see who put out the cauldron and the chest with potions? I heard something about the Masked Man making an appearance today, but so far I've seen nothing."

How haf 'ou beem oimg?" "Hello, did you by any chance see who put out the cauldron and the chest with potions? I heard something about the Masked Man making an appearance today, but so far I've seen nothing." The orc girl glances at Maurice. "What exactly is it worth to you, sir?"
-obelix- Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The hobgoblin brightens up upon seeing Thalion. "Mifew Mwimaf! I' if goof 'o fee you agaim. How haf 'ou beem oimg?" Thalion smiled as he was speaking, "It is good to see you too! I have been doing great since last we saw each other. Tell me, are you here alone? Is the captain with you? And may I ask what are you doing here? I don't mean to be rude, I just I didn't expect to see you here..."
JimBee Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The hobgoblin turned to Hybros, with a polite nod. "I have heaw fhaf if pofum if pewpewffef 'o gwamf fhe fwifwef a cuw fow aww mawammies.

"Mm... hmm... well then, I-" Trying to understand what the hobgoblin had said and come up with a response, Hybros was thankfully interrupted by Thalion. "Ehem, I take it you two know each other then... yes..." He slipped away, figuring he would ask later. He then approached the huge ogre standing near the stage. "And what have you heard about this new potion? Or are you just here to see this... Masked Man?"

"And what have you heard about this new potion? Or are you just here to see this... Masked Man?" The massive ogre had to look around for a moment before spotting the tiny imp at his feet, voice low and rocky. He lifted one huge finger and tapped his left horn, which was large, jagged, and black, in contrast to his others, likely a prosthetic of some kind. "Aye. Lost this to one of my masters when I was a lad. Friend of mine mentioned something about some sort of potion that's s'post to grow it back. I'm skeptical, but it's worth a shot." He looked over Hybros' head for a moment and nodded to the dwarf speaking to the lime green fellow in the corner. "That's him. Or maybe it was his brother. Can't keep track of 'em."
JimBee Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 "I see... thank you. The show is going to start soon, I think, so I will take my place." With that, Hybros reconvenes with the party. "It seems the potion cures any problem any person seems to be having... I think perhaps many people were told different things to lure them here, hehehe... but to what purpose?" Hybros looked down at the the ground for a moment. "Perhaps it is worth talking to that dwarf over there..." He nodded towards the one the ogre had pointed out.

"Melvin is here too? I didn't see him... Hmm... It seem almost everyone is here to see the Masked Man, no matter what else they say... Well, I have to go, but it was nice talking to you. Say "Hi" to captain Illdria for me when you see her!", and with that, Thalion bowed and went to the heroes, Red and Wally. He stood patiently waiting for the event to begin.
