When the heroes get to the Guild House, they are escorted to Victoria's office by the same man that was in the hall. "Hello heroes, gald you could make it. Some crazy mage has been killing off some of our members. We believe we have identified his next three targets." The door opens and three young alchemists step through. "So yer the ones who are going to protect us eh?" "Good day heroes." "Nice to meet you." "Here's a map to the safe house, it's just outside Eubric. Take them there, you should be safe. However, be ready for anything. Like I said, this guy is crazy." "John here will also be joining you. So, any questions? Is there anything I've forgotten?"

Scubacarrot Posted April 8, 2013 Stats are good, thanks for choosing me! Guts leaned against the wall while listening. A mage. Figured. "It's customary to have a party leader. I'd also like to know everything about this mage we are likely to run into. Who has he killed before, and why? And how do you know these three are likely to be next? Is our job simply to escort these people to the safehouse, or are we expected to deal with the problem at it's root, the mage?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The man with the long hair looks like a good leader." She points to Atramor. "He's killed three of our younger Alchemists. We're not sure why, other than that most Mages dislike Alchemists as it is. These are the only ones left in that age range. You'll take them to the safe house, we also believe that he's watching the Guild House carefully, he will likely follow you there, allowing you to deal with him. Just make sure he won't bother us again." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted April 8, 2013 Ellaria nods. She understands the severity of their mission. Insane mages are not to be taken lightly, after all... "Sorry to hear that three young lives have been snuffed out so soon." She then turns to the three young alchemists. "I am Ellaria Arbour, a druid of Sylvania. I will make sure no harm comes to you. What are your names, if I may ask?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMP Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Thanks for having me, Masked. "Atramor Gibbin," the witch introduced himself briefly to the young targets, scooping up the map and glancing over it. "Mages takin' out alchemists? Aye, I've heard those Ziegfrieds don't exactly take kindly to the Guild. Doubt they're the root of the problem, though, crazy as they might be, don't think they're into just slaughterin' their competition," thought Atramor aloud. "Alright, so escort this bunch to the safehouse to lure the mage away from the rest of the Guild and keep 'em safe, then try and take him out? Sounds reasonable enough. Any particular way this mage likes to kill? Any specific kinda spells? I s'pose we'll find out when we get attacked, but I figure I may as well ask."

Scubacarrot Posted April 8, 2013 "Job sounds straightforward enough. Let's get on with it." The raider wondered why they would not just stay in the Guildhouse, it was probably one of the five most secure buildings in Eubric, the others being Fort Bonaparte, Chateaux Shadeaux, Guffington Manor and of course Heroica Hall. But it wasn't his place to question. The job sounded simple enough, and it gave them the chance to round up a dangerous mage. "You can call me Guts Holla."

"We're not really sure, there have been weapon wounds of everyone of the dead bodies. Anything else you'd like to know?" Each of the alchemists nods to the two men.

CMP Posted April 8, 2013 "Weapon wounds? Can't be that good of a mage, then...that's all the questions I've got, I'm ready to get a move on whenever you two are, unless ya' have more questions." stated Atramor, turning his eye onto his party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy Posted April 9, 2013 Ellaria nods to her companions. "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Holla. I am used to carrying other people's scrolls for them during quests, so I will take it. Say, I'm an old acquaintance of Atramor here, but this is the first time I've quested with you, Mr. Holla. I must say that you have a certain reputation in the Hall... Um, what I mean is that I hope that everything goes smoothly in this quest. I would hate to see anything bad happen to these people." Ellaria puts on a wary smile. She doesn't quite know how to handle the gruff bald man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scubacarrot Posted April 9, 2013 The raider raises an eyebrow. "I have nothing to prove or disprove, girl. I get things done. Right now, our mission is to see to it that these people are not harmed. That should be all that matters." Guts handed the scroll to the girl, then said to the others: "I'll make sure we will not be followed." To Ellaria, he growled: "You should treat reputations and rumours for what they are. Someone might take offense." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The house comes in view as the heroes come over a hill. In another hour, the heroes arraive at the house. Atramor opens the door, and the part enters what looks like a sitting room. What do the heroes do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMP Posted April 9, 2013 Atramor glanced between the Druid and the Raider, and resisted an annoyed grumble. It was easy to tell there was going to be some friction between the small party. It was easy enough to ignore with ten heroes working against a serious threat to the world, but he wasn't sure it'd be so simple with only three. Then again, maybe it was too early to make judgments on it... An hour or so later, shuts the door behind the party, and slams the bolt shut. He turns his head, casting a suspicious eye towards the faceless statue. It easy to recall the last time he'd seen one like it. At once, he began searching the chairs and the table, as well as leaning on some of the floorboards to check for loose ones. "Gettin' here was way too easy...Guts, do ya' mind sharin' some of your Potions and Remedies with some of the students? They can use 'em faster than you can, and we've only got one healer for seven people, might come in handy." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scubacarrot Posted April 9, 2013 The raider rolled his eyes, shouldn't the alchemists be providing them with consumables, instead of the other way around? Nevertheless, he gave each Alchemist 1 Grand Potion and 1 Remedy. "I expect back what you don't use." The raider also took a Nostrum, Smelling Salts and Mead. Guts peeked through the door.

Sandy Posted April 10, 2013 "Well, that was fast and uneventful", Ellaria commented as they arrived to the safehouse. She turned to the young alchemists again, with a benevolent smile. "Don't move a muscle before my colleagues have secured the place, alright?" She then walked to John, the older alchemist that had escorted them, and addressed her with a doe-eyed look on her face. "Say, John. How long have you been a member of the guild? That's a mighty big scythe you have there..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he steps on the floor, some boards squeak but none appear to be booby-trapped. Guts opens the door and sees a new hallway. She then walked to John, the older alchemist that had escorted them, and addressed her with a doe-eyed look on her face. "Say, John. How long have you been a member of the guild? That's a mighty big scythe you have there..." "Ellaria right? I've been a member for some years now. I'm not sure how many exactly. More than 10 though. This scythe used to be what they gave to every member, these poor guys are stuck with knives these days though." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scubacarrot Posted April 10, 2013 "What's with these statues? They remind me of temples." Guts takes a short look at the hanging weapon, then investigates the black statue for anything unusual, using his magnifying glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted April 10, 2013 The weapon seems to be some type of Halberd (WP: 6). Guts uses his magnifying glass on the statue, it seems to be made of Igneous rock. There are no traps to be seen on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
