Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Endgame]

"Can we deal with the "you know what", please? Before something eats it?"

"But I don't know what... The artifact, or...?"

[legobodgers]

I agree, we should deal with the 'you know what' as soon as possible. I am willing to give a tonic so that we can send it back by itself.

[Cutcobra]

"You know what? You mean THE BOY'S CORPSE? I told you already, we do it at the end of the quest."

[Endgame]

"Oh. Erm. I... didn't think of that...

I don't see very high priority in it... That's just me, though. My religion states that those who die young are to be cremated, not buried - as burial is the final resting place, while cremation allows another attempt at a long life - so perhaps I'm biased in that aspect.

...What religion re you people, anyway? I never thought to ask."

[Myrddyn]

"All these gods sitting around, who knows which one to follow? If one of 'em thinks their goals can be accomplished by me healin' someone, and so they decide to give me a hand with that, I won't complain. Otherwise, I'll try an' do what good I can on my own. Ritual transference of energy, bandages and herbs, that kind o' thing."

"Sure, it'd be nice if his family has a chance to give him a proper burial, but if it comes to it, I'd rather we arrive too late and a corpse is eaten than we arrive too late and someone who would've survived otherwise is eaten."

[Cutcobra]

Heckz thought for a while after hearing Sorrow's comment about religion and gods.

"Well, a while before I entered Heroica, I used to follow Mercutio. Prayed to him and such. You'd think I used to follow those two unreal Beauty, Music and Cat gods, but back then beauty didn't matter. What mattered was trust and money. One eventful day, someone I used to 'trust' betrayed me for money and left me for dead. That was when I realised there were no Gods. If they were real, they wouldn't have let certain people like the man who betrayed me be born. I also realised, what really matters is Me, and survival in this horrible world. Trust doesn't exist, but my face does. The only people I worship is Me, Myself and I."

[Kintobor]

"Never saw much use in getting involved with religion, to be honest. However, I do believe in giving youth a proper burial, and I'm certain a few other gods would back me up if there were here right now! If something happens to the boy's body, it'll be on your head, Heckz, and you can explain to his sister that it was your decision as party leader to leave him there. I'm taking zero responsibility in the matter if it comes down to it, gods forbid."

Karie took a deep breath. All this talk of the poor kid was making her anxious and nauseous.

"Can we at least move it to a safer place? Like a classroom?"

[Cutcobra]

"Yeah we, can. But I think we should split up, birdy here will probably eat Mister Dead Body's eyes out. How about you, Sorrow and Hawke stay in the Physics Classroom? We'll bring the corpse there."

[-obelix-]

"Of course I am for sending the poor boy's body back to his family, but once again, I think we are needlessly risking the lives of people still alive that are trapped here. Both are the right thing to do, its just a matter of priority - the body can wait till after we save whoever we can, while the people might not have that luxury..." Thalion said as he followed the party.

[Sandy]

"Well, I'm just happy your students are alright, Guyland. Do you mind at least drawing out a map of the school?"

Professor Hawke takes a paper and quickly scribbles something on it.

"Here you go, the best I could whip up. There are more detailed maps of this place at the faculty office. We can get there from the second floor of the East Wing."

"Yeah we, can. But I think we should split up, birdy here will probably eat Mister Dead Body's eyes out. How about you, Sorrow and Hawke stay in the Physics Classroom? We'll bring the corpse there."

Once again the party splits up. Heckz leads his followers to the entrance hall where they left poor Ixion's body. When they get there, they are horrified to see a red-caped figure approaching the boy's corpse with a knife.

What will the party do?

Heckz started panicking. What would happen to his face if the boy dissapeared? He started screaming loudly so that the other party could hear him.

"GET OUT OF THERE DEMON DON'T YOU REALISE!?! MY FACE IS AT RISK HERE!!!"

If the party engages in fight, Heckz fires a Holy spell at the demon from the back row.

If the party engages in fight, Noel casts an Ice spell at the demon from the back row.

Amorith uses his garnet to create a barrier between the figure and the boy at the cost of as much ether as necessary.

[Myrddyn]

"Woah, hold on guys, keep ya' heads on. Though if one of you rogues wants to run back and grab our other friends, that wouldn't hurt."

Erik grabs onto the edge of the step he's standing on, lowers himself down as far as possible, and drops the rest of the way, before removing his Barbarian Boots and equipping his Peacekeepers Totem.

"'Scuse me, sir, maybe if you'd care to explain what you're doin', we could give you some assistance?" He says diplomatically.

[-obelix-]

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Thalion yelled at the red-caped figure, rushing down the stairs.

[Sandy]

Heckz started panicking. What would happen to his face if the boy dissapeared? He started screaming loudly so that the other party could hear him.

"GET OUT OF THERE DEMON DON'T YOU REALISE!?! MY FACE IS AT RISK HERE!!!"

Heckz's voice doesn't carry to the other end of the West Wing. It does startle the red-caped figure, halting it's progress.

Amorith uses his garnet to create a barrier between the figure and the boy at the cost of as much ether as necessary.

Amorith's attempt at spell casting fails since there is no ground to build a barrier from. He only manages to crack the tiles on the floor at the cost of 1 ether.

"'Scuse me, sir, maybe if you'd care to explain what you're doin', we could give you some assistance?" He says diplomatically.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Thalion yelled at the red-caped figure, rushing down the stairs.

The party rushes downstairs to face the figure. As it turns, they see that it's a skeleton with a large, blood-red mask.

"¡Ay, caramba! ¿Qué pasa? I just saw this body lying here, abandoned, and thought of putting it to use. ¿Es un problema? Ah, forgive my manners. Soy Señor Calacas, el Escultor Interdimensional de Huesos Abandonados. If you have bones you don't need, I'll craft them into something useful for you! ¿Claro?"

"Umm sorry Mister 'Maracas' or something, but this body right here, is not for sale. 'Comprendo'?"

OoC: Is this the Bone Crafter you once thought of implementing?

[Kintobor]

Karie looks the map over, looking confused.

"Honestly, I'm horrible with directions and maps. Almost got my entire party lost in this city in the Low Kingdoms. Here, Sorrow, you take this map."

She looks around, trying to use her time productively while waiting for the rest of the party to retrieve the corpse of the poor kid.

"Guyland, I got some questions for you. I have to ask, does Dean Bumblebore come off as... suspicious to you? To my knowledge, he's the only one that managed to escape the school. Would you have any idea as to how he could accomplish that? Secondly, you're a botanist, to some degree? The school's greenhouse wouldn't happen to have a specimen of Sunset Shimmer? It's a plant of some sorts and Sorrow needs the root of it to take care of his hand. I don't know how, but he managed to get it infected with Mummy Rot. You wouldn't be able to help us at all, would you?"

[-obelix-]

"¡Ay, caramba! ¿Qué pasa? I just saw this body lying here, abandoned, and thought of putting it to use. ¿Es un problema? Ah, forgive my manners. Soy Señor Calacas, el Escultor Interdimensional de Huesos Abandonados. If you have bones you don't need, I'll craft them into something useful for you! ¿Claro?"

"If you dont mind me asking, what exactly are you doing here, in the Academy?"

"And on the subject of bones, can you do anything with one?" Thalion offeres a single bone he has to Calacas.

[Sandy]

"Umm sorry Mister 'Maracas' or something, but this body right here, is not for sale. 'Comprendo'?"

OoC: Is this the Bone Crafter you once thought of implementing?

QM Note: Yes, it is, and a very spontaneous one as well.

"Sí, comprendo. Qué lástima, I could have carved many fine, strong bones out of him. Perfect material for my work, ¿entiendes?"

"Guyland, I got some questions for you. I have to ask, does Dean Bumblebore come off as... suspicious to you? To my knowledge, he's the only one that managed to escape the school. Would you have any idea as to how he could accomplish that? Secondly, you're a botanist, to some degree? The school's greenhouse wouldn't happen to have a specimen of Sunset Shimmer? It's a plant of some sorts and Sorrow needs the root of it to take care of his hand. I don't know how, but he managed to get it infected with Mummy Rot. You wouldn't be able to help us at all, would you?"

"Ah, Bumblebore has always been a little weasel, questioning the Provost's authority in every turn. How did he escape, though? There's nothing but emptiness outside, and it all appeared in a blink of an eye... Yes, Sunset Shimmer is a familiar herb to me, and I should have some of it in stock at the Greenhouse. I've never heard of mummy rot, but then again, I'm a biologist, not a doctor."

"And on the subject of bones, can you do anything with one?" Thalion offeres a single bone he has to Calacas.

"One single bone doesn't get you far, but I can make something simple out of it, like a dagger or a flute. All I require is a nominal fee, si no te importa. It depends on what you want, though."

QM Note: Just to be clear, you can request any type of equipment to be crafted from your bones, and if it's plausible, you'll get it in exchange for the bones and some gold.

Upon realising the red cloaked man is a skeleton, Erik is somewhat taken aback, but recovers quickly when he realises Señor Calacas does not seem to be a demon, and seems amenable enough.

"Ah, I suppose finding a use for bones makes sense, but I'm afraid his family has asked us to bring his body back for burial, so I'd prefer if you could leave it intact.

We fought some creatures upstairs, though; I don't know if they had bones, but I could show you where they were, if you'd like?"

"Hmm... Sounds interesting... Could you make something like an amulet or a charm out of it? And how much is a normal fee for an item like that. Or, if that is not possible, for the dagger."

[Endgame]

A sunset shimmer? Here?

"Any chance we could head back there? Now? Karie I, uh, neglected to tell you this, but this thing is going in for amputation in two weeks if I don't cure it... And if that happens, well, doctor says it won't do much for my life expectancy."

[Kintobor]

"Gah, sorry. I'm a bit scatter brained as of right now. Bumblebore did not escape to my knowledge, but the Provost Darlan Lector did. Do you think he's suspicious? Do you think he'd be hiding anything. However, my fumble may have given us some leads..."

Karie lights up at the sound of the plant being in the school.

"Sure! I see no reason why we can't! Let's make it quick so we can get back to this room and make it look like we're taking our fearless leaders word to heart."

Karie leads the group to the Greenhouse.

[Cutcobra]

"I don't have any bones on me right now, Mister 'Maracas', but could you answer me a few questions. Where did you come from? How did you get here? And do you know where this school is located at right now?"

[Endgame]

"Let's go... I've lost all sensation in this hand, for weeks now... Pretty soon, this thing will stop working.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about how close the amputation was, Karie..."
