Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Endgame]

"Hmm. I can hardly think you've changed so much in 3 years. Put on a couple different masks, maybe, but I think Karie Alderflask wouldn't have changed so drastically then and there. Maybe with a different career, sure, but you'd still be Karie.

Meeting me? I hardly think that's important compared to someone else you've met here, soon-to-be Mrs. Cour."

I give a soft laugh.

[Myrddyn]

Erik watches as the rest of the party assembles the model.

He turns back to the Demon Door. "So, I guess you'd see a lot of the things that happen in this academy, Sir, being in four places at once. Seen anything interesting recently?"

[Sandy]

"Karie... Will you help me reassemble this? Some bonding that isn't murderous for once? From top to bottom: Exofors, Spyrium, Olegaia, Galidoor, Belvel, and then Aureol - the Sun."

Together with Karie and Thalion, Sorrow successfully reassembles the model of the solar system. But nothing seems to happen.

"S-s-sorry, if I may... You need to do t-th-this." Nuitan gives each globe a gentle push, and the whole contraption begins to whizz and whirl. The strange wall on the opposite side of the Demon Door opens to reveal a staircase.

"The Tritech Company gave this system to the Academy some years ago. It is a nice gimmick to use on the very first astronomy class, since that staircase leads to the Observatory Tower."

"Wonder whose going to teach astronomy now that Polaris is gone... Nobody half as hot, I bet", Noel sighs.

Heckz puts 51 gold on the box, making sure nobody sees him keeping one gold. He then proceeds to give one of his Tonics to Noel (which he consumes) and acompanies him to the box to send Pleiades away with the gold.

Heckz and Noel carry the body of Professor Polaris to the box and send her away with the gold Heckz returned.

Heckz turns to the door.

"Okay let me guess: You're the prey and I'm the one who is going to be pissed off if you don't let us through."

"YOU'RE WELCOME TO TRY."

He hands her and Sorrow pieces of the planets and rubs the lamp in order to bring Djinnifer.

"You summoned, darling? Have you made up your mind yet?"

He turns back to the Demon Door. "So, I guess you'd see a lot of the things that happen in this academy, Sir, being in four places at once. Seen anything interesting recently?"

"YOU ARE MISTAKING ME AS SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR FATE. YOU'LL GET NOTHING OUT OF ME."

[Kintobor]

"Well, might as well go up."

"Squaw!"

"You've been awfully quiet, you know that, Guinevere?"

[Cutcobra]

Heckz aprroached the Door as he took out the Darkstar Wand. Then he starts gently brushing the wand against the Demon Door.

"You know, your laquer is quite beautiful. It would be a shame if... someone were to ruin it..."

Heckz rapidly put the Darkstar Wand back in his belt.

"When I come back, I want you open. That is a warning."

Heckz leads the party up the staircase.

"So, how much was the system worth? Or was it just a gift?" He asks Drucilla

He then turns to Thalion and the Genie.

"The hell is that."

[Endgame]

I drink a mead, Nostrum, and Smelling Salts.

"Onwards, to whatever the observatory holds."

[Cutcobra]

"Let's hope it's not soulsucking students and proffesors like every other Demon around here."

Heckz drinks his Elixir.

[Myrddyn]

"Ooh, you want me to heal you instead?"

Erik heals Heckz if he wants.

Then he follows him up the stairs.

He turns and waves at the door.

"See ya later, Mr Door."

[Cutcobra]

"Your esteemed party leader does need help now. But now that I think about it, Nuitan can heal me instead of you. I don't want him staying there, looking useless."

Heckz doesn't drink the Elixir because Nuitan heals him.

[Kintobor]

OOC: I'm going to be busy for most of the day, so I doubt I'll be able to post. Just a heads up!

[-obelix-]

"Everyone, this is Djinnifer!"

Thalion turns towards the genie, "Actually, I wanted to ask you about the other items on your list, what would you wish for them?" He pauses for a moment, "There is one more thing I wanted to ask you. How did you plan of getting married to anyone while you are bound to the lamp? Or to be more specific, what would happen to the one who married you?" He asks, looking at the genie princess, as he follows Heckz and the others into observatory.

As Karie gives him back his Bumblebee Fanshirt, he passes it to Nuitan, "Its not much, but it should help protect you."

[Sandy]

"So, how much was the system worth? Or was it just a gift?" He asks Drucilla

"The Academy of Enlightenment is funded by the wealthy families of Eubric, so they practically compete to give us gifts. The Tritech Company and the Guild of Invision even collaborated to give the Student's Lounge an Automedic, which is practically an automated potion seller. The lounge is on the first floor of the East Wing, by the way, we passed it when we went to the library."

Thalion turns towards the genie, "Actually, I wanted to ask you about the other items on your list, what would you wish for them?" He pauses for a moment, "There is one more thing I wanted to ask you. How did you plan of getting married to anyone while you are bound to the lamp? Or to be more specific, what would happen to the one who married you?" He asks, looking at the genie princess, as he follows Heckz and the others into observatory.

"Darling, don't you get it? You get to choose what you wish for after you fulfill my wish. I still have to consider what else to wish from you, so let's go one wish at a time, alrighty? Oh, and if you marry me, we will be bound together for life. You wouldn't have to move in with me to the lamp, though. You wouldn't fit there in any case, hehehe."

After Nuitan has healed Heckz and taken the shirt from Thalion, the party moves up the stairs and enter the observatorium. It is empty save for a gigantic telescope in the middle of the room. Before the party's eyes, a ghost of an elderly man appears on the stool in front of the telescope, gazing into it.

"[My, things are really looking bad out there]", the ghost mutters in a monotonous voice. He then looks at the party. "[Ah, you found my little hiding place. I believe our conversation was cut off earlier, Miss Alderflask.]"

How will the party react?

[Kintobor]

Karie's eyes lock onto Bohring's ethereal image, looking into a massive telescope.

"Bohring the Enlightened. I must say, I'm happy to see you again! Yes, we were cut off from our discussion, and I hope you're still willing to help us. I was wondering if there was anyone in the school that you think tarnishes its name? As well, you said someone marched into the Atrium? Is there anything special about it? Anything that happened there prior that would've made it significant?"

[Sandy]

Karie's eyes lock onto Bohring's ethereal image, looking into a massive telescope.

"Bohring the Enlightened. I must say, I'm happy to see you again! Yes, we were cut off from our discussion, and I hope you're still willing to help us. I was wondering if there was anyone in the school that you think tarnishes its name? As well, you said someone marched into the Atrium? Is there anything special about it? Anything that happened there prior that would've made it significant?"

"[The pleasure is all mine, Miss Alderflask. It is always heartwarming to see such vibrant young women in daring-do situations. Well, that is if I still had a heart... What comes to your questions, the Academy has not been the same since I ran it. The students are spoiled, the discipline is lacking, the professors are unqualified doohickies...]"

"Excuse me?!"

"[Err, most of them are, at least. The current provost is doing as lousy of a job as all of my successors. Indeed, I shall not pass on until I see this institute in capable hands. What comes to the Atrium, though, I believe it was chosen since it is in the center of this Academy, so a spell to move this place through a rift in time and space would probably be most efficient if done from there. You really need to get there and stop the stranger who abducted this school before everyone inside has lost their souls.

However, I believe the strange man is in cahoots with a powerful force who is pulling the strings. A mere mortal could not control a league of powerful demons to do his bidding. Of course defeating the man and whoever is behind him might mean the school will get stuck in the Void forever or blow up to smithereens or transform into a lollipop for all I know. I am not an expert in interdimensional magic, you see. Do you have any more questions I could help you with?]"

[Kintobor]

"I do. You said you saw the man. Can you describe him?"

[Endgame]

"If any wish was appropriate right now, I'd say giving us a level boost is best..."

I look at the benevolent, albeit slightly condescending, ghost.

"Have you seen any notable demons? We have slayed a few... Some animals, a repaer, a monstrous flower, a demonic book, some ghosts, a serpent of flame, and the sun. Any others you might've seen?"

[legobodgers]

Amorith looks through the telescope to see what is on the outside of the academy.

[Myrddyn]

Erik nods.

"Thank you for that information. Are you aware of any students who are in immediate danger? Also, you may be aware of the Demon Door that prevents us from entering the Atrium; would you have any ideas on how to get past it?"

[Cutcobra]

"Potion Dispenser? That will certainly come in handy."

He turns to the Ghost.

"Hello Mister transparent. You must certainly know which professors are fighters, right? And the most important question of this whole quest: Is the strange man ugly?"

[Sandy]

"I do. You said you saw the man. Can you describe him?"

"[He certainly did not fit the frame, so to speak. He looked like a country hillbilly with his overalls and wide-brimmed hat, but there was something about his eyes... They looked as if they burned with malice. Even if I'm not an expert, I'd say whoever controls the man, it seems to have taken him over completely.]"

"Have you seen any notable demons? We have slayed a few... Some animals, a repaer, a monstrous flower, a demonic book, some ghosts, a serpent of flame, and the sun. Any others you might've seen?"

"[Those sound like the ones I saw, although I might add living pieces of armour and an instrumental demon to the list. Not to mention the deep darkness on the second floor of the East Wing - there is something malevolent dwelling in it.]"

Amorith looks through the telescope to see what is on the outside of the academy.

Amorith sees nothing but the same white light that can be seen through the windows.

"[My apologies, but you need to be more in touch with the spirit world in order to see the Void. Your fragile mortal brains cannot process the ethereal flux, I'm afraid.]"

Erik nods.

"Thank you for that information. Are you aware of any students who are in immediate danger? Also, you may be aware of the Demon Door that prevents us from entering the Atrium; would you have any ideas on how to get past it?"

"[Everyone still inside this building are in immediate danger, make no mistake of that. Time's a-wasting while you chat with silly old me up here. What comes to the demonic door, it guards the Atrium from all four facets, so maybe you need to open it from each direction at the same time?]"

"Hello Mister transparent. You must certainly know which professors are fighters, right? And the most important question of this whole quest: Is the strange man ugly?"

"[i only know for a fact that [b]Monsignor Fioretto[/b], the professor of the art of war, knows his way with the sword. As for the others... well, crises such as this can bring up surprising sides from people. The stranger looked like any commoner from a small village, save for the eyes.]"

[Kintobor]

"That's some helpful information, Bohring. Thank you for your assistance. Should we need you again, we'll find you here, right?"

She turns to the rest of the party, thinking about Bohring's words. She'd never encounter a man who Bohring described.

"We know there's at least four more demonic entities in the school, potentially a fifth. I should mention that while we were in the washroom in the west wing, it sounded like something was in the schools plumbing. We've got a lot of ground to cover still. Shall we head to this student lounge? Or perhaps we should clear out the upper east floor first? We still need to find Nuitan's friend."

"We still have some rooms on the lower west wing we need to search through if memory serves me correctly."

[Endgame]

"We can always give the dark room a shot, though I fear my bow will be useless there..."

[Kintobor]

"Before we go any further, does anyone want to borrow any of my non-elemental weapons? Sexy is off limits. She never leaves my side, and neither does my whip, but so long as I get my items back I'll let you guys use whatever you like."

[Myrddyn]

"Living armour and talking doors? It really is like our first quest, eh, Sorrow?" Erik chuckles bleakly.

What comes to the demonic door, it guards the Atrium from all four facets, so maybe you need to open it from each direction at the same time?]"

"Y'know, that sounds like it might work. Thanks for the advice, sir."

"Before we go any further, does anyone want to borrow any of my non-elemental weapons? Sexy is off limits. She never leaves my side, and neither does my whip, but so long as I get my items back I'll let you guys use whatever you like."

Erik spins his Talisman of Enlightenment around his hand.

"Well, if it's not being used anyway, I wouldn't mind borrowing that Medal of Valor you've got."

Erik moves on with the rest of the party.

[Cutcobra]

"Thank you, Mister transparent. It seems you help your school even in the land of the dead."

Heckz leads the party outside the planetarium, into the first door on the left of the otherside of the hall. (hope that wasn't confusing)
