Sylph moved towards the Rhitz's Stall. He looked around for a bit, and then settled on the Emerald Hood. He brushed his gauntletted hand down the smooth Brendentonian cloth, admiring the bright earthy colour.

"I'll buy this." Sylph stated at last. He handed the wealthy man his hard-earned gold, and took the largest cloak he could find in exchange. He draped it ceremoniously over his head. The thing was large enough to fit over his cold-iron animal-skull helmet and then some, concealing all but the bottom-most part of the face grid, and allowing a glimmer of light to reflect from his veiled eyes.

314-275=39 gold. +1 Emerald Hood.

"Who wants the Writ? And have we decided who's getting the Sword?"

"It's a beautiful weapon, but a Greatsword is much too large for a Rogue to wield. Perhaps Romulus will want to trade it for Combrys? Johon and Alexandre would be able to use it as well, I believe.

As for the Writ, I could obviously use it, but so could anyone else. It's your decision!"

Johon, since Rome's got the Combys, and Galen's not asking for it, and Alex's got the Best sword out of all of us, I think you should have this one. Your Decaying Sword's pretty great too, but I can see this one being useful to you as well. No offense Galen, but before you made your purchases you had enough money to buy a small ship... Actually, I think I'll use it if no one minds. I would like to improve my Shrapnel Bow."

"Where the colony goes, we follow... especially since the Princes are no longer a the helm."

"We're probably going to linger for a few days to gathe rup our things, then head down to Eubric. Who knows, maybe we'll set up shop down there. Depends whether or not they are willing to accept us out in the open... The new colony is being built underground it seems, and they'll remain underground until they can sort out their leadership issues and present themselves in a good way. Can't say I blame 'em, we are a bit... intimidating. :blush: "

~Epilogue~


It is a few days after the quest concludes.The heroes lounge in the hall, resting their weary bodies after the grueling quest. As they reminisce about all of the people they met in Luosh, as if on cue, a letter arrives addressed to them all. It comes in a rather large vanilla envelope, sealed by the Luoshian emblem. Carefully cutting the seal, a rather bulky envelope pours out, written in a childish scrawl. It quickly becomes apparent who the author was: Punii. Huddling around the letter, the party begins to read the letter...

Punii said:

Hello there, heroes! Enjoying your downtime, I bet? Luosh definitely is - we all are, really. The Proggs left some wounds during their invasion, but thankfully we've all been cooperating to help them heal. I've met up with all of the people we met during our quest...

Posted Image
"How are you, *wheeze* Hal?"

Hal halts his patrol route and gets down on one knee to address the young Progg.

Posted Image
"Patrol routes, friend. Believe it or not, despite what has happened, I'm trying to return back to normal life."

Posted Image
"Yeah, after all of those *cough* battles yesterday...  it isn't going to be easy *wheeze* huh?"

Posted Image
"Hah. And to think I was considering retiring before that mess... I may be 42, but I'm not out of my prime yet.

...Although, to be honest, these patrols are kind of a waste. Crime rates have practically dropped to zero, and I'm guessing it'll stay like that for a long time. Nobody is ready to go back to cops and robbers anytime soon."

Punii said:

Hal jumped right back into work... he enjoys it a lot, actually. Guy sure id dedicated, huh? With crime rates at zero he has been helping the families of Luosh out, and sometimes making grocery runs to neighboring towns to stock up on supplies.

With the invasion over, Mystrinitri forest's labyrinth was no longer necessary. With the forest untangled, it is only a short scenic walk to the grand Dini Manor... With hard work and determination the young Progg manages to reach the front door's knocker, Punii quickly being ushered in for some tea. The pnatry had been raided, but Hal had donated the necessities to the mage while he rebuilt his home. Punii, Natasha, Dini, and Roni all sit around the table as they discuss over a lights snack:

Posted Image
"Nice to be in *wheeze* this manor without being swarmed by an entire legion... how are the *wheeze* repairs going?"

Posted Image
"Indeed - my home own becoming hostile is not something I want to relive! Those ruffians almost destroyed the place, but repairs have been going smoothly. No amount of home renovation can withstand my greatness!"

Posted Image
"Aww, cool the ego, uncle." Natasha jokes.

Posted Image
"Ah, drat. Force of habit..."

Posted Image
"I've been staying home from Salmanda to help Mr. Great here repair his home. Family is more important then studies, y'know?"

Roni happily bounces up and down in her seat.

Posted Image
"Am I helping, Unca Dini?"

Dini laughs his trademark hearty laugh.

Posted Image
"Of course you are, young one!"

Punii said:

Luosh's resident mage is doing just fine, what with his two helpers. The manor almost got wrecked, but luckily a little bit of magic helps the project go smoothly... Dini, Hal and I have been talking about bringing Roni home for the past few days. We're heading out soon... Wonder what Eubric will hold for us during our little visit?

Punii continues his trot through Luosh, arriving at the outskirts of the Town Hall. With the mightiest wing of his tail he could muster (or, in other words, not much at all) he whacks the copper bell. Unlike the times during the quest, the occupants of the burrow stir out immediately, carrying several bags and boxes. The juvenile alchemist notes they are all labelled "Chemical Hazard"... Poison.

Posted Image
"Oh, hello there!"

Posted Image
"What's up, little guy?"

Posted Image
"Just *cough* seeing how everybody in Luosh is doing. What are you *wheeze* guys up to?"

Posted Image
"Packing! Like we said, where the colony goes, we end up following... so to Eubric we go."

Posted Image
"Can't just leave all this venom behind, right? We're going to see if we can secure a marketplace stall or something, though I do hope that any customers won't be, well, scared out of their wits..."

Posted Image
"Proggs aren't really something you see *wheeze* daily, yeah..."

Punii said:

The toxic twins are getting ready to move out! I wonder if we'll see them in Eubric any time soon?

I would interview Beatrice, but she moved out with Galen. if you want to know ho she is doing, he is the expert on that kind of thing. :tongue:

Having memorized the perilous path from the Murkwood, Punii casually walks his way into the Murkwood forest... and is met with no resistance. There he meets some arachnid friends.

Posted Image
"Hello *wheeze* there!"

Posted Image
"Ah, hello, young one!"

Posted Image
"It is good to see some familiar faces during our time of mourning... "

Posted ImagePosted Image
"Punii!!"

Morxes and Lyrol rush from the Acolyte's side and give Punii a spidery hug.

Posted Image
"Heh, good top see you guys *wheeze* too! How is the Murkwood doing?"

Posted Image
"We've hit a rocky point in our history, just as we have many times before."

Posted Image
"All of the spiders have been meeting in Aranoc's chambers to debate on issues - it has worked well thus far. We'll continue until young Morxes and Lyrol come of age, but until then, this system works."

Posted Image
"I'm gonna grow up big and strong, just like daddy!"

Posted Image
"Yeah, me too!"

Punii smiles.

Posted Image
"I'm sure you *wheeze* will."

The young Progg looks down, the  up, and speaks in a quiet voice.

"He was a real hero, you know..."

Punii said:

They've suffered so many losses, but thankfully the Murkwood will endure. This invasion seems to have brought everyone closer together, really - Luosh, Murkwood, Heroica, everybody. We'll all have to make sure Aranoc's sacrifice for us wasn't in vain...

Despite being cut down by The Wound, the Rihts bridge was already back in working order. treading carefully across the now reinforced bridge, Punii reaches the rather impromptu manor.

Posted Image
"Oohh, Punii is back, Punii is back!"

The young girl pets the Progg, Punii not minding it too much.

Posted Image
"Hah- sis, he isn't some lousy housecat! treat the guy with some respect!"

Posted Image
"Your brother is right, honey. Give punii his space."

Posted Image
"Good to see someone we know during these times! What brings you here, Punii?"

Posted Image
"Just checking up on *wheeze* everybody in Luosh. How is your family faring, mr Rihts -have cloth sales slowed down?"

Posted Image
"No no no, we're doing fine. We've had a nest egg set up for quite some time now... Cloth sales have been going great - excellent, even! - but we're not making a single cent of it. Luosh deserves the funds more then I."


Punii said:

This ordeal really has brought the best out in everybody, huh? Almost all profits have been donated to the Luosh repair fund lately. At this rate we'lll be rebuilt in no time flat!

Meanwhile, in the Commerz Bank...

Posted Image
"Whatcha doin' *wheeze* Ayla?"

The banker vigorously writes out document after document, paper after paper, check after check.

Posted Image
"Business as usual, mostly - but there has been a bit of a lull in business today, so I've been setting up everything for your internship."

Ayla  writes her name on one last check and looks up from her desk, smiling warmly at the Progg.

Posted Image
"You don't know how proud of you I am, little guy. not everybody has what it takes to get the position you're getting. Make sure to come home to Luosh sometime, alright?"

Posted Image
"Of course, *wheeze* Ayla."

With that, the young Progg curls up into a ball and takes a nap next to Ayla...

Punii said:

Well, heroes, I may be seeing you sooner then we thought. I applied for an internship for the Guild of Invision - and got selected! I'll be able to improve my craft and become a better alchemist then ever before. In just a few short months I'll begin... I'm so excited! We're definitely gonna have to meet up sometime for lunch or something. That is what humans do, right? Anyway, I'll be in Eubric pretty soon, so be on the lookout. I just hope I won't get hit by a broom if I return to Heroica Hall...

Punii stirs wake and heads to his final destination in Luosh.

Posted Image

Punii said:

Well, heroes, I guess this is the end of our adventures... for now. Thanks for everything, and hopefully I can meet up with you guys soon. Until then, heroes!

--Punii
