KotZ Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Kiray swallowed past a lump in her throat. "Alright, I agree with you all." Quote
Actaeon Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Actaeon exhales deeply. Traveling inside an untested airship was completely against his judgement. However, he felt that they had no choice. "Captain Bartholomew, it was a pleasure meeting you," he says, extending his hand for the man to shake, "I hope that we will someday cross paths again. I also hope you understand that with the situation at hand, we really have no choice but to decline your generous offer." Turning to the others, he says, "We will be taking the airship. Speed is imperative. We can't risk getting there too late. Too much can happen in just a few days." Quote
samurai-turtle Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) The airship sounds find to me. OoC: Sorry, of not responding sooner I was working. Edited July 18, 2014 by samuraiturtle Quote
Daeth Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) [[so sorry I'm late! So sorry!]] Yuji arrived very late to the docks, examining everyone around him. "So sorry I am late everyone, someone mind explaining, if it is not too much?" Edited July 9, 2014 by Daeth Quote
Actaeon Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 "So sorry I am late everyone, someone mind explaining, if it is not too much?" Actaeon eyes Daeth as he approaches the group. As upsetting as Daeth's late arrival is, Actaeon is grateful that the cleric arrived in time to leave. He suspects that they will be needing a cleric on the quest "We're to track down two rogue dragoons before they get dragons and wreak havoc. The fastest way to catch up to them is by airship. We'll be leaving very soon," Actaeon summarizes, "Welcome, by the way," he adds after a moment. Quote

Speed is imperative. We can't risk getting there too late. Too much can happen in just a few days." After a moment's hesitation, Captain Hornigold accepts the handshake. "I suppose this is good-bye, then." The captain turns on his heel and marches away, clearly insulted. "Well, there goes our only chance of getting to Dastan alive. I hope you know what you're doing, Ranger." "Excellent decision. The Bostonius will only require a few pre-flight checks and some last-minute supplies before we are ready to depart. If you'd like, you can follow me to Tritech Headquarters." "Zis is where I leave you, 'Eroez. I must retourner to Chateau de Shadeaux before ze fog iz dispersant. I will say zis, 'owever, in light of ze news of ze Dragoons' early arrival: you must protect ze good name of ze Shadeaux, no matter ze cost. Despite ze fact zat zese two 'ave great potential, ze Shadeaux must non be responsable for a catastrophe. Do what you must." Count Shadeaux retreats into the mist as the morning sun begins to burn through the gloom. The party follows Nicole to the Tritech Headquarters, where the Bostonius and her crew were waiting. An odd device sits on a workbench, broadcasting . "Ah, Nicole! And...guests. I did not know we were expecting company." "Dr. Ralph, I hope you found the new engine we delivered satisfactory? These Heroes are in need of swift transport to Dastan, so I have offered the services of the Bostonius." "Hello there, Doctor. I am the Dragonlord. Heroica will not forget the assistance Miss Tesla is providing. With luck, many lives will be saved thanks to her actions." "Oh, my! A Veteran of Heroica! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." "Likewise, Doctor. Perhaps the rest of the party would like to introduce themselves as well?" Edited July 10, 2014 by Flipz Quote
Siercon and Coral Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Siercon started. "Greetings Dr. Ralph, my name is Siercon. Nicole has been telling us much about your amazing airship and we are very grateful for your help." Noticing and intrigued by the Vibrataphone, Siercon wandered around the shop studying all the odd gizmos and gadgets. (Searches Room) Quote
samurai-turtle Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 What up doc? I'm The Demon Germ. Then I start looking around wondering if half this stuff is even necessary. Then ask "How long until take off?" Quote
KotZ Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Kiray carefully stepped up into the room, her eyes kept on the flying machine. "Good day, sir," she said, eyes locked on the tan bubble rising above the ship, "how are you? How high up will we be flying?" Quote
Actaeon Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) "Well, there goes our only chance of getting to Dastan alive. I hope you know what you're doing, Ranger." While the others are introducing themselves to the doctor, Actaeon talks to Diana in a low voice, "You know you're allowed to give suggestions, right? I'm sure that you have many opinions. With your experience, I'm sure we could use them. Turning to the doctor, "Hello, Doctor, my name is Actaeon Artus, and I am the party's leader. This is Diane N. Justus, our skilled Ace Assassin." Kiray carefully stepped up into the room, her eyes kept on the flying machine. "Good day, sir," she said, eyes locked on the tan bubble rising above the ship, "how are you? How high up will we be flying?" Actaeon raises and eyebrow at the abrupt change of subject to heights. He had to admit, he too was curious, but Kiray seemed desperate. "Doctor, will you be traveling with us?" OOC: I don't know if I need to introduce NPC's in our party or not. If not, I'd prefer you ignore that part :P Edited July 10, 2014 by Actaeon Quote
Daeth Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Turns to the doctor. "Nice to meet you, Doctor." Quote
Flipz Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Siercon started. "Greetings Dr. Ralph, my name is Siercon. Nicole has been telling us much about your amazing airship and we are very grateful for your help." Noticing and intrigued by the Vibrataphone, Siercon wandered around the shop studying all the odd gizmos and gadgets. (Searches Room) Siercon finds the workshop littered with tools and half-finished machinery. Some of the pieces seem to be weapons and armor, but due to the modifications they'd recieved it seemed they would only be suitable for automatons--that is what the Tritech Corporation is known for, after all. On the wall nearest the Vibrataphone are a few shelves full of unusual but seemingly complete (if a little unrefined) gadgets, with an empty space the size of the Vibrataphone. Leaned against the wall beneath the shelves is an odd two-wheeled contraption, pristine save for the layer of dust covering it. It seems like this area of the workshop is a space for successful prototype devices, a trophy display of sorts. "Ah, thank you Mr. Siercon, but the Bostonius isn't my ship. That airborne marvel is completely Miss Tesla's own design. Nicole is one of our most brilliant scientists; that Vibrataphone--" he adds, indicating the music-playing device on the workbench "--is her design as well. It provides a method to precisely replicate and produce sound--a most ingenious invention, wouldn't you say? It's been a great commercial success, a financial boon that has funded many exciting projects for our company!" Nicole blushes slightly, but her voice manages to retain its usual monotone. "Thank you, Dr. Ralph." Turns to the doctor. "Nice to meet you, Doctor." What up doc? I'm The Demon Germ. Then I start looking around wondering if half this stuff is even necessary. Then ask "How long until take off?" "Nice to meet you both as well." "My crew should only require a few minutes to refuel and then check our systems for any malfunctions. We should be in the air within the hour." While the others are introducing themselves to the doctor, Actaeon talks to Diana in a low voice, "You know you're allowed to give suggestions, right? I'm sure that you have many opinions. With your experience, I'm sure we could use them. Turning to the doctor, "Hello, Doctor, my name is Actaeon Artus, and I am the party's leader. This is Diane N. Justus, our skilled Ace Assassin." "Pleased to make your acquaintance, good sir." Diana waves half-heartedly, her gaze fixed on the ship like a wild animal that has spotted a predator. "Hi." She leans back towards Actaeon and whispers a reply, not taking her eyes off the ship. "So what, you thought that remark about her ship being unsafe was a joke? I don't trust these guys--the Ji Pei and their technology are nothing but trouble. The Bonapartes might wear their butts on their heads, but at least you know where you stand with 'em." The Assassin continues to stare at the ship as if it was about to explode. Kiray carefully stepped up into the room, her eyes kept on the flying machine. "Good day, sir," she said, eyes locked on the tan bubble rising above the ship, "how are you? How high up will we be flying?" Nicole and Dr. Ralph exchange a glance. "Hmm...interesting. We should make a note to test the maximum altitude of the Bostonius at some point." "Our airships normally fly a short distance above cloud level, but I suppose we could make a point of flying slightly lower if it makes you more comforable." Nicole stares thoughtfully into space for a moment, before jotting down a note into her notebook. Diana visibly relaxes a little, though she still keeps her gaze locked distrustfully upon the airship. Actaeon raises and eyebrow at the abrupt change of subject to heights. He had to admit, he too was curious, but Kiray seemed desperate. "Doctor, will you be traveling with us?" OOC: I don't know if I need to introduce NPC's in our party or not. If not, I'd prefer you ignore that part :P QM Note: That's a roleplaying choice, it's entirely up to you. "Ah, I am afraid that I am only here to receive the engine Nicole has just delivered. I was not aware of this arrangement she made with you, though I must admit I am a bit jealous. Going to visit Dastan! It sounds like a wondrous place." "You are welcome to join us, Doctor, but I am sure your schedule is too full to allow it." "Nicole is right, I'm afraid. I have far too many duties to fulfill, all in the name of science!" Kiray happens to shift closer to one of the workbenches, and a small device begins to beep insistently. Dr. Ralph turns his attention to Kiray. "Speaking of which...it looks like you've set off my flux detector! I wonder what you could...well. This is interesting..." Dr. Ralph shows the party the readings on the screen, but they are unintelligible to anyone but the scientists. "It appears you possess some sort of Chaotic Bomb that exists in a simultaneous superposition of several possible states...from these readings, likely related to the nine elements. Fascinating!" He adjusts his glasses eagerly. "I must say, an object like that would be highly valuable to my research...would you by any chance be willing to part with it?" Finally, with a little hesitation, Diana breaks her staring contest with the Bostonius. "What, you expect her to give it to you just like that? I just saw another Hero sell one of those things back at the Hall for 75 gold! You ought to at least match that price, if not beat it!" Dr. Ralph raises his eyebrows, alarmed by Diana's outburst. "I...yes, well of course...I...naturally, I did not mean to..." The scientist takes a moment to regain his composure. "Of course, I would be happy to offer a competitive compensation. How does..." Dr. Ralph pauses while he pulls out a small ledger. "How does 85 Gold sound, miss Knight?" Edited July 10, 2014 by Flipz Quote

I don't trust these guys--the Ji Pei and their technology are nothing but trouble. The Bonapartes might wear their butts on their heads, but at least you know where you stand with 'em." Actaeon turns his head toward Diana and whispers, "Perhaps you are right, but would you really risk arriving in Dastan only to find it obliterated? We can't arrive late, and you know that!" Looking at the doctor, he says, "It's a shame, doctor, I'm sure we could use you." Then, to Kiray he says, "We may be needing that chaotic bomb very soon, but it's up to you." Finally, to Nicole, "Take your time to prepare. Though we're in a hurry, we want to be sure everything is in order and... safe," he says, finishing the sentence looking between Kiray and Diana. Quote
KotZ Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 "Ah, I was just wondering about the height, just idle thoughts." Kiray looked at the scanner. "Sorry, I can't part with it. As much as I would like the gold, this may be useful in the future and I can't justify selling it at this point. I'm sorry." Quote

Flipz Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) "I should probably mention that the Dastanians have some bad history with Heroes using bombs, so it'd probably be in your best interests to get rid of it, or at least not to use it while we're there. It's your item, though, so the decision is yours." "All right. If you change your mind, just let me know." A short, bearded man--a dwarf perhaps?--standing next to the ship packs up his toolkit and approaches Nicole. "Preparations are complete, Miss Tesla, we're ready to get underway." "And the Stealth Shadow?" "Ready as well." "Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Hofferman. Heroes, if you need to make any last-minute preparations, please do so, otherwise we are ready to depart whenever you are." (Searches the gear) Thinking, Dam some of the stuff would be useful if i can handle it. QM Note: You lucky son of a gun. I rolled a die for this and it came up 1. Germ searches the machine parts, but as he is not an automaton none of it is suitable for him. However, with an astounding amount of luck the sneaky Rogue is able to slip a small wrench into his pocket without the scientists or his fellow Heroes noticing. It would probably be best not to call attention to it until the party is underway. Wrench - WP:3, decreases the target’s level by 1, throwing weapon Is the party prepared to depart?
