Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Kintobor]

"Heckz, can you back off, your making me uncomfortable. Particularly after what you said..."

Her voice has a twinge of discomfort in it. Karie simply pushes Heckz away, crosses her arms and does nothing.

[Endgame]

Heckz has a grin on his face on and pats Karie in the head "Good for you! Would you like me to give you a special reward for saying that!" He gets closer to Karie "And by that, I obviouslly mean saying I'm similar to someone who is devilishly handsome."

"I seem to recall you apologizing just a second earlier..."

"Heckz, can you back off, your making me uncomfortable. Particularly after what you said..."

Her voice has a twinge of discomfort in it. Karie simply pushes Heckz away, crosses her arms and does nothing.

"Now you feel my pain..."

"I seem to recall you apologizing just a second earlier..."

Heckz stumbles back after Karie pushes him and turns to Sorrow "Well I did apologize, she's like the most intelligent person here aside from the proffesor..." Heckz says, obviously still afraid of Sorrow.

[Kintobor]

"Now you feel my pain..."

"Ugh, look: I'll take it off if you don't want me wearing it. I'll take it off once we're done with this creep, alright?"

[Endgame]

Heckz stumbles back after Karie pushes him and turns to Sorrow "Well I did apologize, she's like the most intelligent person here aside from the proffesor..." Heckz says, obviously still afraid of Sorrow.

"Don't fear me. Fear the Reaper."

"Ugh, look: I'll take it off if you don't want me wearing it. I'll take it off once we're done with this creep, alright?"

"Thank you... It's just... You know what I did to your grandmother. I can't stand harlotry. It's nothing short of dehumanizing. I esepcially don't want you, of all people, just eagerly waltzing down that path. I came home to my fiance, bruised, beaten, crying, every night. I couldn't stand seeing you like that."

I pause for a moment.

"I hope you know I don't object to what you're planning with that brochure."

I wait, trying to gauge her reaction.

Surprised by the revelation but outwardly showing no signs of it, Amorith watches the Reaper. Waiting to see if the Phoenix Essence would take effect.

The party rushes to the banister and peer down to the entrance hall. They see Ixion's twisted body sprawled on the floor. Joy's sobs turn into a desperate wail. The mysterious event has gotten it's first victim.

The entrance hall has six doors. One on both ends of the gallery, one on both sides of the hall, the large main doors that would normally lead outside, and a back door that for some reason now has a demonic face on it.

[Myrddyn]

Erik rushes down the stairs and pours a Phoenix Essence on Ixion.

[Cutcobra]

"Sorrow, do you want this scythe? It looks pretty megablocky to me considering the fact that it only seems to damage humanoids."

"And Erik, if I were you I would save my essences on the more 'influencial' children, but do as you want."

He looks around and notices the demonic door when midway down the stairs. He keeps staring at the oh so ugly face for a while. "Uh uh, megablock that." He turns to the whole party "Let's look for the artifact before giving this door a makeover."

[Myrddyn]

"With a bit of luck and providence, no other children will require essences. Yes, I say we grab that artifact. No sense rushing off to find people if we can't save 'em when we find 'em."

Erik says, looking sadly at the childs body.

[Sandy]

Erik rushes down the stairs and pours a Phoenix Essence on Ixion.

Erik spends a Phoenix Essence on the boy's corpse, but he is beyond salvation.

"Gods, why did we ever leave Mopag and come to this accursed school...?"

He turns to the whole party "Let's look for the artifact before giving this door a makeover."

"That's the door to the Atrium, the inner yard at the center of this school. But it sure as hell didn't have a face on it before..."

The party are now downstairs on the first floor of the building.

Which way will they proceed?

Another puzzle of a sort, I think. I'll put spoiler tags on so other people can try and find it if they want.

Erik steps back from the boys corpse, shaking his head sadly. He glances up, and peers at a shape behind the stairs on the left.

"Hello? Is someone there?"

Taking his Peacekeepers Totem in one hand, Erik walks slowly forward. "We're here to help, and we banished the demon. Would you like to come out?" He calls, diplomatically.

[Kintobor]

OOC: Looking over my stats, I'm pretty sure I had two love potions, Sandy. I'll double check though.

Karie worryingly turns to the female student, trying to think of something to cheer her up. She turns to Eric.

"Eric, could you maybe speak with Joy using that diplomatic air you have? She looks more than a little distraught."

Karie uncomfortably shifts about, looking for a spot to change, but considering the demonic eyes on the door, there didn't seem to be one.

"I got a bad feeling about that door."

Karie inspects the door, but keeps her distance.

[Cutcobra]

OoC: I still didn't distribute the scythe. Waiting to see if Endgame wants it.

"Karie I literally just said lets look for the artifact before interacting with the door."

[Endgame]

"I'll take it, but for some reason I hihgly doubt that I'll be able to put it into use this time around..."

I take it in one hand, having to grab my shoulder with the other to prevent my arm from going out of its socket. Even then, a very audible crack can be heard.

"Uggh... This thing is heavy... Or I'm just old."

Edited January 26, 2014 by Endgame

[Cutcobra]

Dammit, he took it. I wonder how much gold I would have gained from that scythe.

"You okay Sorrow? I would give you a massage on your back but I don't feel like touching moth nes- wait a minute, what's that?" Heckz notices the kid behind the statue. Heckz aproaches the kid. "Don't worry I'm- we are here to save you."

Taking his Peacekeepers Totem in one hand, Erik walks slowly forward. "We're here to help, and we banished the demon. Would you like to come out?" He calls, diplomatically.

A young halfling peeks behind the statue.

"Ooh, you're people! I was hiding from the demons and ghouls. Are you here to rescue us?"

"What makes you so sure we're not just demons in disguise, Midget?"

"Well, are you? And I know you, Ziegfried. You're not a Pointer despite those years of yours, so there's no need to act so high and mighty." The halfling turns to the others. "The name's Willow, and I'm a proud member of the Midgets. Now get me out of here before the demons squash me like they did to that poor bastard over there."

"Waaah!!! B-b-brotheeer!!!"

Karie inspects the door, but keeps her distance.

Karie carefully steps closer to the door. The door's eyes stare at her.

"WHAT ARE YOU GAWKING AT? NEVER SEEN A DOOR BEFORE?"

[Endgame]

"I've seen several doors. Would you, by any chance, be a benevolent door?"

[Kintobor]

Karie, not even getting her strap off of her dress, shrieks as the door speaks, pulling her dress back up.

"What else in here talks! Jeez!"

She looks the door over, curious and terrified.

"So, do you open up with a key or something?"

[-obelix-]

"Well, are you? And I know you, Ziegfried. You're not a Pointer despite those years of yours, so there's no need to act so high and mighty." The halfling turns to the others. "The name's Willow, and I'm a proud member of the Midgets. Now get me out of here before the demons squash me like they did to that poor bastard over there."

"No, we are not demons in disguise Willow, there is no need to be afraid. Have you seen anybody else from school around here?"

[Cutcobra]

Heckz gets closer to the door. "Wow, I've actually never seen one! I didn't know they were so beautiful, and that they were crafted to perfection." The things I say to complete a quest.

[Sandy]

"I've seen several doors. Would you, by any chance, be a benevolent door?"

"NO, I AM THE MOST MALEVOLENT DOOR YOU WILL EVER FIND!"

She looks the door over, curious and terrified.

"So, do you open up with a key or something?"

"NO, I ONLY OPEN FOR ONE PERSON, AND IT AIN'T YOU! THIS KEYHOLE IS MY NOSTRIL, DON'T YOU DARE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE!"

"No, we are not demons in disguise Willow, there is no need to be afraid. Have you seen anybody else from school around here?"

"There were some people rushing through the entrance hall earlier, but I was too busy hiding to see who they were or where they went. At first I tried to run outside, but there's nothing but emptiness out there! It almost sucked me in, so I wouldn't open the front door if I were you."

Heckz gets closer to the door. "Wow, I've actually never seen one! I didn't know they were so beautiful, and that they were crafted to perfection." The things I say to complete a quest.

"WHY, THANK YOU. I QUITE LIKE THIS LAQUER ON ME MYSELF AS WELL."

[Cutcobra]

"So, door, how has life been? I'd be happy if I were you to have such perfection of a body, which I have. Would you care to say why you have possessed this door?"

[Endgame]

Karie, not even getting her strap off of her dress, shrieks as the door speaks, pulling her dress back up.

"What else in here talks! Jeez!"

She looks the door over, curious and terrified.

I shake my head and sigh.

"I've been a bit... Unreasonable, as of late, I think. Sorry. I've let my memories ge the better of me... If you want to keep wearing the dress, keep wearing the dress."

I whisper the next part in a low voice, so no one else would hear.

"And if you'd like some gold for the ring, I'd be happy to oblige. I don't object to what you're planning to do, Karie."

"NO, I AM THE MOST MALEVOLENT DOOR YOU WILL EVER FIND!"

"I have encountered doors that explode and laugh at you when you twist the knob. Tell me, Door, why malovelent tricks do you have up your sleeve? Should I fear you?"

[Cutcobra]

"Willow, can you give us some insight on the Midgets? Who do they hate and who are they friends with? And have you seen where one of the teachers went?"
