Greetings, heroes! It is good to see you again. I'm Aves, knight of Duplovia. As I'm sure you know from Prefect Rone's letter to you, we're in a bit of a situation. Duplovia and Delfrin have been at war for generations now, almost as long as we've been in the ancient city. Well, now the King of Delfrin wants to end all that. He and King Somoril - that's our king - have begun peace talks. The problem is, there's people who don't want this. Already there have been two assassination attempts. Since we're busy with the peace talks and the race and all that, we've hired you guys. Hopefully, you can shine a little light on the situation and find out who's doing all this.

You know all this, though. At least, I should hope so. Are you all here? If so, then we should head out immediately! I can answer most of your questions on the way.

QM Note: Please confirm and check your stats within 24 hours so we can head out. Thank you all for signing up! Also, mad props go to Masked for doing up nearly all the pics you'll see on this quest.

Sarge pulls a scroll from his satchel and lends 1 scroll of Blindness to Thalion

"Sergeant Mcency Ready for active service sir!" Sarge makes a mock salute, then bursts out laughing. :laugh:" I love the army"

OOc: Stats look perfect

"Greetings Aves, I am Thalion Dwinlas. It seems that we are all here, so we can get going. I have a few questions, but as you said, those can be answered on our way to Duplovia."

Stats look good!

Great!

As Aves looks over the crew manifest again, his smile is dampened only slightly when he notices Sarge's class.

aves_zps31f36016.jpg

A rogue? How did you get - ah, well, it's hardly important now, is it?

The crew climbs up the ramp into the Duplovian ship, lead by Aves. In a few minutes, they are setting sail to the west.

aves_zps31f36016.jpg

So, you said you had questions? I may not be able to answer all of them, but I'll try what I can!

QM Note:Sorry about that Brickington! We'll try to keep you up to date. :wink:

"I am actually a female orc cleric in disguise. The disguise worked. I didn't want to draw attention to myself as a denizen of The crown." :laugh: "Anyway, which ruler will we be protecting; providing we're protecting them, or are we foiling assassination plots and catching criminals?"

OOC: By a mythril shard to each, does it mean 1/4 of a full peiece of mythril or a full piece?

Aves blinks, not catching onto the sarcasm.

aves_zps31f36016.jpg

I'm terribly sorry, ma'am. It is good to know you're practicing, though! The Praetorian Guard should be able to defend the king, but we are far too busy preparing for upcoming events - not to mention the peace talks - to deal with these plots. That's why you were hired, to investigate the assassination plots and stop whoever's doing this.

QM Note: By a shard, it means each hero gets 1/4 of a full piece. :wink:

"You say that there were two assassinations attempt, have you any suspects? Someone that could want to make the peace talks fail, for interest, for revenge?" questions Alexander, giggling for the sarcasm made by Sarge.

Ooc: NOOOO!

Would anyone want to sell their Mythril? I'll sell my shard for 150 gold.

"How have these obviously genius assassins tried to kill their targets, and who are the targets? Both rulers? Yours or theirs? Are either of your rulers... Ya' know... Completely off the rails bonkers as it were?"

aves_zps31f36016.jpg

We don't have a lot of positive leads, but we do have a few main suspects. The Hidden Skulls are a group Duplovian criminals and war profiteers who have been causing trouble for quite some time. We're still trying to find who their leader is, but evidence goes to show he might have access to the King. The Delfrins have talked of a similar group in their city, but we don't believe they would make their way to Duplovia for such an act.

aves_zps31f36016.jpg

There have been attempts on both nations. The assassins seem to be trying to take out both leaders in one strike, but so far the combined forces of the Praetorian and Delfrin guards have stopped this. As for either of or rulers being 'off the rails bonkers' that entirely depends on who you talk to. There are some who believe King Somoril's tough-on-crime behavior astonishing, but he has cleaned up the city quite a bit, and is over all a sensible ruler. From what I've heard, the Delfrin King is also wise and just.

Sarge nods. "Some Heroes might kill the kings themselves if they were... Morally unhappy with his behavior. Who do these some heroes think they bloody are. Were Mercenaries for heaven's sakes! We leave honour to the dead." Sarge turns To Alexander. "We aint met lad. I trust, as an elf you're 3000 years old and wiser than all of us? :sarcasm_hmpf: Or are you more the down to earth sort of person? :classic:"

"Anything we need to know?"

"You have pretty much answered all the questions I had for now, so I will ask only this; when we get to your capital, who will give us our concrete assignment, be it following up a lead, protecting someone or whatever?"

You will have a brief audience with King Somoril, who will give you your orders, but after that I believe that Prefect Rone will accompany you on the investigation.

About the Kings, or Duplovia?

Ah. Well, I know for a fact that the sum of the square of the two legs of a right triangle are equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Any there other general knowledge you would like to know?

Aves looks out over the horizon, and his smile fades.

Only one... what are pirates doing on the Crystalline Sea? He points, and the heroes see a ship in the distance. I thought the Bonapartes stopped the last group...

"Pirates?" sarge draws the Demonic scissors. " I used to be a Pirate like them, Then I took an arrow to the knee. And Then the leg kind of fell off.

Elves! Send your Spells and arrows unto the Pirates! We're gonna board these bastards 'fore they do the same to us."

"We are not even sure they are pirates, and since we don't have a telescope we can't confirm. If they don't pose a threat to us, we should just leave them be."

Sarge shrugs, and looks a bit sheepish. Defeated even. "But if they are... Do what I said"

"If they are, and they attack us, we will throw them back into the sea."
