Heroica RPG - Quest#25: Imbuing the Sword

[Bricksandparts]

"Do you have proof? The mainest reason for having me here is to make sure nobody's gonna come and try to disrupt official matters. Is there somebody that you'd like to see here at the facility?"

[UsernameMDM]

"What proof would you like to see?"

[Bricksandparts]

"What proof would you like to see?"

"Well, I wouldn't know. Visual proof, perhaps one of the officials have heard of your quest."

[The_Customizer]

Why else do you think we want to see the officials? To tell them how beautiful the flowers smell?

Of course we want to tell them about the quest, they most likely have heard of it. However, we wanted to gain permission from them for certain "things". Now, would you please stand aside so we may go in?

If not, well, let's just say a certain person with a cannon has a rather itchy trigger finger.....

[Bricksandparts]

"I don't exactly understand. Is there someone here that you need to talk to? I can check if you are authorized, what are your names?"

[UsernameMDM]

"We are questors from Heroica Hall in Eurobric Freeport sent by Arthur H Regulannos."

[Bricksandparts]

"Oh, you're the ones from this Heroica I keep on hearing about? Well I still need authorization just to be sure. Ok, follow me."

The guard opens the door and leads the party to the second floor. He leads them to a room where a man with particularly red hair is at a desk.

"Professor Hunu? Your friends from Heroica are here."

The professor looks up from his work and smiles to the group.

"I see you managed to arrive on time! So, I supose you have questions? I begged them to send another person to explain your objective, but they ended up sending Regulannos... He never can get points across. So, what do you need help with?"

"I see you managed to arrive on time! So, I supose you have questions? I begged them to send another person to explain your objective, but they ended up sending Regulannos... He never can get points across. So, what do you need help with?"

"Good day to you Professor. Well, I would not place the blame fully on Refulannos, although he was quick to send us away. My companions and I have a few questions about the materials we are to collect for the sword. Firstly, could you mark on the map where we can acquire which items. Secondly, if items are to be bought out right, how much gold is the guild fronting for this errand? And, finally, for the last of my questions at least, what purpose drove you to summon a demon?"

[Bricksandparts]

"Well, I'll show you where you can hopefully aqquire these items."

He shows the party the general location of the items on the map. (It's basically the same thing the party was told by Jobe)

"I could probably get you 150 gold?"

The professor gets up and looks in some boxes and pulls out a chest, opens it, and takes out 150 gold coins.

"If you need more, come back and I'll see what you have accomplished. Oh, you may want these."

He walks over to the boxes and takes 5 strange looking bottles with markings on the sides.

"These will get you in and out of the city, you need passport to travel in and out."

Party Leader, How will the items be distributed?

Gold Coin(s)(150)

Canteen Passport - allows up to 3 passes into or out of the city. The price without the passport is 20 coins/person. costs 10 gold. X5

[Mibbiwocket]

Olinn evenly distributes the passes and coins amongest the five (1 pass and 30 coins to each person, in other words).

[Tamamono]

"Thank you, Olinn!" Tomas says as he puts the gold and the pass in his bag.

[UsernameMDM]

"Many thanks," Hoke said as he slid the coins into his belt pouch.

He held the passport up and flipped it around, just to see what it looks like. He added that to the coins.

"What is our course from here? Do we first purchase the materials available in the market and return them here?" Hoke asked the group.

"Professor, is there anything of importance that we should now before we leave?"

[Bricksandparts]

"Many thanks," Hoke said as he slid the coins into his belt pouch.

"Professor, is there anything of importance that we should now before we leave?"

"Hmm... We do believe there will be trouble in getting some of the items, particularly the demon blood and fangs. Other than that, you should know that the shops at the market-place will try to steal business from one another."

[The_Customizer]

"Hmm... We do believe there will be trouble in getting some of the items, particularly the demon blood and fangs. Other than that, you should know that the shops at the market-place will try to steal business from one another."

Hmm, so shopping around for the same item may be worth our time and money....

[Dannylonglegs]

Hmm, so shopping around for the same item may be worth our time and money....

"Right, and with a competitive market, we may be able to haggle the prices down significantly."

[Mibbiwocket]

"So, uh... we should go to the m-market now, then?"

[Dannylonglegs]

"Yes, let's away to the market."

[Tamamono]

"So, uh... we should go to the m-market now, then?"

"Yes, I think going to the market would be best." Tomas answers with a smile.

[Bricksandparts]

The party heads to the Market-place.

There are three main shops spread out, each trying to steal business from the others.

[The_Customizer]

Hmm, the prices for these nostrum are very tempting, however, we are here to pick up those items first.

Tis a bummer no one has Elixir, though of the items we need, they have: Wizard Rum, Mage Booster, VooDoo Chalice, Crystal Chalice.

Olinn, how should we split up the purchases so as to have the prices as low as possible, yet still purchase all we need?

[Bricksandparts]

QM Note: I forgot to mention, you have days in this quest. So the part that says the sales will expire at the end of the day, it is an in-game day. You probably figured this out already though.

[Mibbiwocket]

"I-I have no idea..." Olinn replied, obviously out of his depth with this.

"I personally believe we should pool the 150 we just got and divide the left overs again." Observed Sylph.

[Bricksandparts]

QM Note: The party can always come back...

[Dannylonglegs]

"Alternatively, we could each buy one item. Buying groceries should not be this hard. We have the shopping list, collectively, we have the money. Let's just re-pool those 150 gp that we just got and buy the things."
