Find, I will go first but I am sure someone else could tell you more. First off your precious airship is in one peice, I don't even think we put a scratch on it. Like Ms. Umbra said the way is cleared. But the biggest issue we had was some "were-cat demon thingy" messing with the Kappa. And we had to chase him off but it sounds like he could return some day. As for what was going on in the port town I think someone else better elaborate, I was unconscious most of the time (I was there). 

"Were cat demon? You mean a were-panther?"

14 hours ago, Alfadas said:

'Yes, the expedition was quite succesful. And indeed, the airship is still in very good condition.

Yeah, the Demon-kitty will return one day. He was not very happy that we almost slain him.'

"If he's planning on return it sounds like a Rakshasa from the infernal plane. If he was not slain with an adamantine blade he will indeed return at some point."

Ezeran smiles and bows. "We had great help from a weather mage called Augusta, please see to it that she will be treated with respect in the future as well!"

"Augusta Wind? She was a famous mage of the Nagashan, I wonder what transpired her leaving her homeland..."

2 hours ago, Lord Duvors said:

"I think you will find the results of our expedition most satisfactory. We secured safe passage through the Strait of Sirens and protection for our ships in return for defeating a manticore that was menacing the siren inhabitants. We also decided to set up the waypost for your ships at the Wailing Wharf in Babeleth and employed a group of undead to guard the site and aid in construction. While in Babeleth we also gained the services of a weather mage named Augusta Wind for the remainder of our journey. Afterwards we made straight for Xu and, upon arrival, discovered the local Kappa were having some difficulty with rogue individuals lead by a individual named Giorgione, who we dealt with swiftly, learning in the process that he was a sort of shapeshifting-kitty-demon-person-thing."

"And then we came back here."

"A most detailed report, and you seem to have been the right group to deal with all of that. Several of those would have proved challenging for lesser heroes. I had doubts about the relations with the Kappa of the province, but it seems as though you have established amiable relations with the settlement. This will indeed be helpful for the months ahead."

1 hour ago, UsernameMDM said:

"What has been said is true. The path is secure, but there may be complications in the future from the Raksasha and whoever he may be operating with. If there is, you know who to call upon and where to find us."

"Rakshasa are a nuisance at best and nightmarish foes at worst, once they establish themselves in positions of power it can be quite difficult to either discern or unseat them. Should we gain more knowledge about this one, Giorgione, if that was his name, we will contact you heroes."

The ambassador pauses in thought.

"Now your payment."

"Ah yes, a bright polish for each of you and of course you can ensure yourselves that you always have a place among the Ji Pei."


"Very good, I will inform ze rest of the Union of ze progress zat has been made. Heroes it was a pleasure working wiz you."

With that the Party was free to make their way back to their homes or to the Hall. The way had been paved for progress, the ladder to a better life constructed, now all that remained to be seen was whether the people of Eubric would see this as a help or a hindrance. Whatever their opinion, the heroes knew that what they had accomplished would have repercussions not only within their own city, but the world over.

THE QUEST IS SUCCESSFUL!

I guess so, all I know is that it has feline features and a dark present. What it is called I am not sure... 

Oh yeah, you probably want your charm back, Hoke. And then tossed the Electro Gear to Hoke. I guess I should get my Weapons back to (while I am at it).

Torald looks at the equipment he borrowed from Hoke. Shame he had to return it. O well. Torald returns the Obsans Masterpiece armor to Hoke. Thanks for letting me borrow it. 

Stats look good. Thanks for this cool quest!! 

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran bows once more. "I hope that our work will be the stepping stone for a brighter future. Glad to be of service!"

Ezeran returns the items he borrowed from Hoke and nods to him. 

"Thanks for the loan!"

He then nods towards the others and smiles towards Torald. "The first ale is on me my friend!" The symbiont drools at the prospect of salty snacks and beverages. 

Ezeran heads back to the Hall.

OoC: Stats looks ok! Thanks for the awesome quest WBD!

With the return of Throlar, the Destiny's Bounty lifted off for the return home. Cruising across the skies, the mood of the crew was pleasant and they passed through the Strait of Seirenes with no problem and even spotted some harpies watching over the pass. The Crystaline sea, while vast had smooth air currents that carried the ship swiftly toward the free islands. Mooring near the palace of the Ji Pie, the Party was issued in and gained an immediate audience with with Jun and the Ambassador.

Hoke was making the comment BEFORE leaving the Ji Pei Palace.  Pay attention. Or better yet, mind your own business.

As the group made ready to leave the palace, Umbra looked annoyingly at Hoke.

"Mr. Ablesword, while you may have a knack for destroying demons, you obviously lack knowledge in geography, we're are currently in Eubric. Good day sir."

With that the heroes set off for where ever the streets of Eubric would take them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere deep within a tropical jungle a man leans against the frame of a small two story building gazing out upon the crowded city sprawling before him. Were-creatures of every shape and size are bustling about and the man smiles as a mermaid joins him.


"Can't say it's as good as Babaleth, Mr. Smith"


"No, but it'll do, Marion, it'll do."

"How long do you think it'll take."


"News spreads fast Marion... I've been thinking of a new slogan, how's 'When ever you need an act of villainy, we are at your service.'"

"Ain't it a touch on the nose, Mr. Smith?"

"Nay, I think it's just what this town needed. Let's get to work."

QM Note: Thanks for playing folks, I'll have more to say eventually in the QM lounge, but this has been quite a fun quest to run and it'll probably be awhile before I run another one so it was a good one to take a break after. You've all been great players to QM and you've really added a lot to the overall story line.
