Heroica RPG - Quest #139: Around the World

[Purpearljellyblob]

Purpearl approaches the electrical elemental while channelling electrical energies from her topaz. Hoping their energies are in sync with each other, Purpearl speaks, "Greetings. I am Purpearl, a traveller from Eubric. I am truly intrigued by this place the moment I stepped onto this island and I am lucky enough to travel to the city centre with the aid of void masters." Nodding, I wonder what this city centre has to offer?"

[JimBee]

"I would advise, and this is simply easiest, that you treat anything that you cannot touch as a ghost." Piglina snorts. "It's best that way."

Hybros frowned. "Is nothing on this island real, then?"

Guffington pulls aside Hybros.

"We will gift the artifacts once they are all here. Chauncey was rather specific about that. I say that we just explore the island for the time being. You know what we are about to attempt, but I am not sure who on Etheria is aware of our exact purpose. Chauncey has made it clear that we have a number of allies on the island, but also... not enemies, but those who would stand in our way." He winks. "Such is the way with progress, always. If you want to know more, I cannot imagine that Chauncey would act against his own master, Amarcolm. So we have to assume that he is on our team."

"I see... well in that case, I suppose the others have not made it here yet. Melquiadas, City Center."

[Zepher]

OoC: Sorry, still working on editing a bunch of stuff to get Etheria up and running properly.

Arthur glances around the city center, looking to see if he could spot any sort of shops or smithies. Miirym remains close, nearly wrapping around Arthur as she tries to take up as little space as possible. She sniffs warily, eavesdropping on Melquiades and Lady Felix while she waits for her partner to make his move.

"...Void Masters are trained from a very young age. And the island makes your body look all sorts of weird ways." He wraps on his stomach, showing off his plating. "It isn't the end of the world. Offers some extra protection. I just feel bad for the were-turtle who ended up with my tender stomach. Probably has no idea what to do."

"I like all my bits and pieces," she says slyly.

"Understandably so," says the Void Master, eyeing her. "You'd have to stay a long time to get to looking weird."

"What say you to a little private tour around the island. I'm sure there's some gorgeous rooms, lots of old artifacts to take a look at, some private stashes, maybe, that only you can find...?"

Arthur, meanwhile, glances around for a shop, and overhears Purpearl's conversation.

Hoke takes a look around, to see if there as anything else of note aside from what is going on in front of him. Torc seems a bit more at ease than Hoke.

The room is filled with a few other strange figures, but they warp in and out of the room, guided by other Void Masters.

Purpearl approaches the electrical elemental while channelling electrical energies from her topaz. Hoping their energies are in sync with each other, Purpearl speaks, "Greetings. I am Purpearl, a traveller from Eubric. I am truly intrigued by this place the moment I stepped onto this island and I am lucky enough to travel to the city centre with the aid of void masters." Nodding, I wonder what this city centre has to offer?"

"Hello traveler! My name is Zeus, the Electrical Emperor of Etheria! The City Center is the best way to get to know Etheria. All magical researchers, historians, theorists, explorers, and masters congregate in the City Center to meet and debate. Of course, if you want to know anything about electrical magic, you have already found your master."

"Don't let him fool you. He's just a merchant."

"Shush. I can be the Electrical Emperor as well as the Head of the Merchant Guild. Would you like to take a look at my wares?"

Hybros frowned. "Is nothing on this island real, then?"

"I see... well in that case, I suppose the others have not made it here yet. Melquiadas, City Center."

"No more less or more real than anything else."

Hybros has to wait a few seconds for Melquiades to materialize. He doesn't seem bothered to be taken away from his conversation, however, and zaps himself and Hybros into the Void.

"You have a powerful object there," says Melquiades jovially, gesturing to the Dragon Heart Flame. "It's good for quite a few party tricks. I think you may have a little something in you too, hm?" They continue through the Void. "As a Void Master you get to know pretty much everyone on the island, and have such lovely opportunities to talk to them," he gestures to the demons, "especially if you're the only thing between them and these fell'ers, they tend to decide you're worthy of confidence. I know this and that about magical history and innovation, and have got more than a clue about what you're here to do. But I'll tell you, if the Council catches wind... those that aren't in on it... and isn't brought around, you'll have a hard time doing anything. I'd say you'd need more than half the council in your pocket, on your team, or at the very least owing you a favor before you can try any tricked out new magical foolery. Got that?" With that the two arrive in the City Center, and the Selkreeth returns to his wooing efforts.

[UsernameMDM]

"Shush. I can be the Electrical Emperor as well as the Head of the Merchant Guild. Would you like to take a look at my wares?"

"Yes, I would," Hoke says as we walks up.

[Flipz]

"...Void Masters are trained from a very young age. And the island makes your body look all sorts of weird ways." He wraps on his stomach, showing off his plating. "It isn't the end of the world. Offers some extra protection. I just feel bad for the were-turtle who ended up with my tender stomach. Probably has no idea what to do."

"What say you to a little private tour around the island. I'm sure there's some gorgeous rooms, lots of old artifacts to take a look at, some private stashes, maybe, that only you can find...?"

Miirym smiles softly to herself, then frowns in confusion. She makes a note to speak to Lady Felix later.

Arthur, meanwhile, glances around for a shop, and overhears Purpearl's conversation.

"Hello traveler! My name is Zeus, the Electrical Emperor of Etheria! The City Center is the best way to get to know Etheria. All magical researchers, historians, theorists, explorers, and masters congregate in the City Center to meet and debate. Of course, if you want to know anything about electrical magic, you have already found your master."

"Don't let him fool you. He's just a merchant."

"Shush. I can be the Electrical Emperor as well as the Head of the Merchant Guild. Would you like to take a look at my wares?"

"Yes, I would," Hoke says as we walks up.

"And I would as well," Arthur says, he and Miirym stepping up next to Hoke as he approaches Zeus." Arthur glances at the disembodied skull in a jar that had spoken before returning his attention to Zeus. "Your...uh...friend there reminds me a lot of an aura I used to know. Finnegan, he was called. Odd fellow. Always getting him and his master into trouble. I'm glad Miirym here didn't take after him."

Miirym blows smoke at Arthur, more affectionate than angry. "<Have care, Arthur. Perhaps I may have to amend my ways.>" There is tension in her voice--nervousness, perhaps--but no true venom behind her empty threat.

Arthur rolls his eyes and pats Miirym's head, a surprisingly difficult feat given her size. He looks back to Zeus. "So! Would the Electrical Emperor of Etheria have anything of use for a Eubrican Dragoon and his companion?"

[JimBee]

"You have a powerful object there," says Melquiades jovially, gesturing to the Dragon Heart Flame. "It's good for quite a few party tricks. I think you may have a little something in you too, hm?" They continue through the Void. "As a Void Master you get to know pretty much everyone on the island, and have such lovely opportunities to talk to them," he gestures to the demons, "especially if you're the only thing between them and these fell'ers, they tend to decide you're worthy of confidence.

With that the two arrive in the City Center, and the Selkreeth returns to his wooing efforts.

Hybros watches the demons zoom by as they travel through the void. The feeling wasn't all unfamiliar, but he still felt sick to his stomach once they arrived at the City Center. "Eh... Sure," is all he can manage to say to Melquiadas before he departs.

Hybros collects himself and joins the others to meet the merchant. "I have been waiting for a place to sell this..." He reveals his Crystal Ball, extra shiny from the polishing he did as an Alchemist. "I imagine a wizard merchant like you would pay a good price for something like this?"

[Purpearljellyblob]

Purpearl blushes at the skull as Zeus introduces himself as the Electrical Emperor, "Well, Zeus the electrical emperor, what do you have installed for the mage? I am interested."

[Zepher]

"Yes, I would," Hoke says as we walks up.

"Wonderful!" He taps his golden treasure chest. "This will be able to summon up any of my wares in a second. But here is a list." He hands each member of the party a list of wares.

• Etherial Topaz (Electrical Spells Deal Stunned) - 200 Gold *2 in Stock*
  
• Scroll of Antimagic (Makes the target immune to magic for the duration of one battle. Each casting has a 50/50 chance of success and costs 1 ether) - 100 Gold
  
• Scroll of Elemental Aura (Enables the user to cause the target's attacks deal only elemental damage corresponding to a gem available to the user for the duration of one battle. Each casting has a 50/50 chance of success and costs 5 ether.) - 100 Gold
  
• Scroll of Shielding (Enables the user to grant (an additional) 5 SP to the the target for the duration of one battle. Each casting has a 50/50 chance of success and costs 5 ether.) - 100 Gold
  
• Etherial Electrical Gear (adds electrical-element and stunned ability to physical attacks and protects from electical-elemental damage, accessory) - 350 Gold *2 in Stock*
  
• Of Power and Mortals, by Zeus the Electrical Emperor - 30 Gold
  
• Request (You may request any scroll or item in the game. If Zeus is able to procure it, he will name a price for you).
  

"And I would as well," Arthur says, he and Miirym stepping up next to Hoke as he approaches Zeus." Arthur glances at the disembodied skull in a jar that had spoken before returning his attention to Zeus. "Your...uh...friend there reminds me a lot of an aura I used to know. Finnegan, he was called. Odd fellow. Always getting him and his master into trouble. I'm glad Miirym here didn't take after him."

Miirym blows smoke at Arthur, more affectionate than angry. "<Have care, Arthur. Perhaps I may have to amend my ways.>" There is tension in her voice--nervousness, perhaps--but no true venom behind her empty threat.

Arthur rolls his eyes and pats Miirym's head, a surprisingly difficult feat given her size. He looks back to Zeus. "So! Would the Electrical Emperor of Etheria have anything of use for a Eubrican Dragoon and his companion?"

"My wares are good for anyone who is hoping to learn how to conduct themselves powerfully, on or off the battle field." He looks at the skull. "This is my friend called Zapp. I... unfortunately disintegrated his body while we were both in training here on Etheria, and felt so bad that I kept his skull around as a constant reminder of my immense power. But eventually, one day, it started to glow with electricity and talk!"

"Yeah yeah. It's a lot worse than being a mage, but you learn to deal."

Hybros collects himself and joins the others to meet the merchant. "I have been waiting for a place to sell this..." He reveals his Crystal Ball, extra shiny from the polishing he did as an Alchemist. "I imagine a wizard merchant like you would pay a good price for something like this?"

"Oh... yes... may I?" He asks, clearly in awe over how shiny shiny shiny! the crystal ball has become while in Hybros' care. He handles it delicately, and then looks at the imp. "I can give you 1599 gold for it. Sound good?"

[UsernameMDM]

OoC - If imbued does the Etherial Topaz make a weapon deal Stunned on physical attacks or provide immunity to stunned for a shield/artefact? If so...

"I will take one of the Etherial Topaz."

[JimBee]

"Oh... yes... may I?" He asks, clearly in awe over how shiny shiny shiny! the crystal ball has become while in Hybros' care. He handles it delicately, and then looks at the imp. "I can give you 1599 gold for it. Sound good?"

"Hmm... that is acceptable." Hybros accepted the gold in exchange for the Crystal Ball. "Ehem, say if I were to buy your book from you... what are the chances that you would be able to find a Coat Hanger? Or perhaps some Crystal Shoes? Heheh..."

[Flipz]

Arthur buys a copy of Of Power and Mortals, as well as a Scroll of Elemental Aura. "I think I know a mage or two back in Eubric who might be interested in one of these," he says, thinking of Noel. "How much would it cost for a Scroll of Frailty, Scroll of Fear, and Scroll of Love? How about a set of Spesialian Spiked Pauldrons?"

(2012-130=1882)

[Zepher]

OoC - If imbued does the Etherial Topaz make a weapon deal Stunned on physical attacks or provide immunity to stunned for a shield/artefact? If so...

"I will take one of the Etherial Topaz."

OoC: I'd argue yes, but Sandy would of course have the final call.

"Hmm... that is acceptable." Hybros accepted the gold in exchange for the Crystal Ball. "Ehem, say if I were to buy your book from you... what are the chances that you would be able to find a Coat Hanger? Or perhaps some Crystal Shoes? Heheh..."

"Hm. I'll check." Zeus opens his chest and messes around in it a little. "A Coat Hanger would set you back 300 gold. Crystal Shoes are a little harder to find, and would cost 444 gold."

Arthur buys a copy of Of Power and Mortals, as well as a Scroll of Elemental Aura. "I think I know a mage or two back in Eubric who might be interested in one of these," he says, thinking of Noel. "How much would it cost for a Scroll of Frailty, Scroll of Fear, and Scroll of Love? How about a set of Spesialian Spiked Pauldrons?"

(2012-130=1882)

"Ah yes! The Mages of Eubric miss out on many of our fine goods by failing to make the pilgrimage! If you know any mages who are still young enough to train and have an affinity for lightning, please, let them know I am always willing to take on students!" Zeus rummages his his chest some more after passing Arthur his book and scroll. "I could sell you any of those scrolls for 200 gold! The Pauldrons are much hard to find... Spesialia has many ancient wards... I would have to say they value at about 650 gold."

[UsernameMDM]

"Could you possible procure a set of Bone Claws? How about a vial of Crimson Haze or anything else I could apply to a weapon to make it a bit deadlier?"

Also, could you post a stats update. Not sure if Gold has been updated.

"My half-brother Noel. Though he tends to favor Darkness and Ice a little more. Perhaps I'll buy your other Etherial Topaz for him as well, he doesn't have a Topaz of his own yet. Maybe a second Scroll of Elemental Aura as well." Arthur frowns at the prices listed. "I think I'll pass on the Scrolls, those pauldrons are tempting...how about a Mail of the Renegade Commander, would that be any cheaper?"

(1882-300=1582)

Arthur chuckles at Hoke. "As often as I've seen you glancing at my cape, I'm surprised you aren't asking for one yourself, Hoke."

Arthur chuckles at Hoke. "As often as I've seen you glancing at my cape, I'm surprised you aren't asking for one yourself, Hoke."

"To be completely honest, I was hoping to get one for Grogmas."

Turning to the merchant.

"Would you happen to have a Shadeaux Cape?"

[JimBee]

"Hm. I'll check." Zeus opens his chest and messes around in it a little. "A Coat Hanger would set you back 300 gold. Crystal Shoes are a little harder to find, and would cost 444 gold."

"Excellent, heheheh. I will take them both." Hybros handed over 744 gold for the items. "How about a Toxic Hood? Some Level-Up Mushrooms?"

[Purpearljellyblob]

"Wonderful!" He taps his golden treasure chest. "This will be able to summon up any of my wares in a second. But here is a list." He hands each member of the party a list of wares.

• Etherial Topaz (Electrical Spells Deal Stunned) - 200 Gold *2 in Stock*
  
• Scroll of Antimagic (Makes the target immune to magic for the duration of one battle. Each casting has a 50/50 chance of success and costs 1 ether) - 100 Gold

"My wares are good for anyone who is hoping to learn how to conduct themselves powerfully, on or off the battle field." He looks at the skull.

"Ah yes! The Mages of Eubric miss out on many of our fine goods by failing to make the pilgrimage! If you know any mages who are still young enough to train and have an affinity for lightning, please, let them know I am always willing to take on students!"

Time seems to warp in a weird way in Etheria and by the time Purpearl gets hold of the list of wares, she realised that the rest of the party are already gathered at the stall, making purchases.

"I am interested in a Coat Hanger (953-300=653) as well." Pulling out her Tunic for Zeus to glance over, "I would certainly benefit from it, as I did for some time during my training in the fields. However, one cannot simply train alone, as in reality, working with others is as important as protecting oneself. It would be a blessing if I can protect myself as well as protecting others in the process. A Cloak of the Grand Vizier would certainly aid me in that aspect. Also the price of a Clockwork Lance if you are able."

Continue speaking to Zeus, Purpearl bows humbly,

"I hope you have not forgotten the mystic mage that stands before you, eager to learn the ropes from the master. My first element is fire, but through the many journeys across the world, I have realised that I have conjured more lightning spells than fire. Now I stand before you, call it affinityl, or my trip to Etheria a pilgrimage. I believe our meeting is not coincidental. If it is possible, I would hope to learn the ways of the lightning, if you would take on the mystic elf mage as your disciple."

[Flipz]

Arthur nods slowly as he sees Hybros and Purpearl both purchase Coat Hangers. "Wise purchases. I will take a Coat Hanger as well."

(1582-300=1282)

EDIT:

"Sorry to make so many requests at once, but what would an Icy Halberd run me?"

Edited January 2, 2016 by Flipz

[Zepher]

OoC: There's a good reason this thread is taking a lot longer for me to update. Maybe in the future you can link to a place for me to find items - things that show up a lot (renegade, toxic, icy) are difficult to find in the search function.

"Could you possible procure a set of Bone Claws? How about a vial of Crimson Haze or anything else I could apply to a weapon to make it a bit deadlier?"

Also, could you post a stats update. Not sure if Gold has been updated.

Zeus seems to already be regretting his offerings as he digs around in his chest.

"Bone Claws would cost you 350 gold. I generally do better tracking down magical items. Affinity or whatever." He digs around a little bit more, and then swiftly withdraws his hands. "I will not be able to get you Crimson Haze. That is an alchemists' tool... and a dangerous group of alchemists at that."

"My half-brother Noel. Though he tends to favor Darkness and Ice a little more. Perhaps I'll buy your other Etherial Topaz for him as well, he doesn't have a Topaz of his own yet. Maybe a second Scroll of Elemental Aura as well." Arthur frowns at the prices listed. "I think I'll pass on the Scrolls, those pauldrons are tempting...how about a Mail of the Renegade Commander, would that be any cheaper?"

"The Mail of the Renegade Commander would cost you a hefty 900 gold. It is a very unique piece of craftsmanship."

OoC: It seems fair to let Hoke keep the second etherial topaz if he wants it. He did buy it first. And MDM, I'd say it'd work the way you described, since Sandy never replied.

"To be completely honest, I was hoping to get one for Grogmas."

Turning to the merchant.

"Would you happen to have a Shadeaux Cape?"

"The Shadeaux are not impossible to deal with, though they have recently fallen out of liking with the mages of Eubric... let me see... I'd say that would only cost about 750 gold."

"Excellent, heheheh. I will take them both." Hybros handed over 744 gold for the items. "How about a Toxic Hood? Some Level-Up Mushrooms?"

"A toxic hood..." he rummages around. "I can't quite tell... the Level-Up Mushrooms aren't too hard to obtain. It'd just be 350 gold a pop!"

OoC: Literally cannot find that hood. What quest is it from? I thought an Endgame one but it's not showing up.

Time seems to warp in a weird way in Etheria and by the time Purpearl gets hold of the list of wares, she realised that the rest of the party are already gathered at the stall, making purchases.

"I am interested in a Coat Hanger (953-300=653) as well." Pulling out her Tunic for Zeus to glance over, "I would certainly benefit from it, as I did for some time during my training in the fields.

If it is possible, I would hope to learn the ways of the lightning, if you would take on the mystic elf mage as your disciple."

"Oooooooo!" Zeus nearly squeals when Purpearl mentions she would like to be his apprentice. "Excellent choice, my friend! Let us see to those weapons, and then I will be able to start your training... but first!"

"A Cloak of the Grand Vizier would cost 500 gold, for you. A clockwork lance would cost 400. Again, I apologize, I have more aptitude for finding things at a reasonable price when they pertain directly to magic."

Arthur nods slowly as he sees Hybros and Purpearl both purchase Coat Hangers. "Wise purchases. I will take a Coat Hanger as well."

(1582-300=1282)

EDIT:

"Sorry to make so many requests at once, but what would an Icy Halberd run me?"

OoC: I quite literally cannot find it with the search function either. Icy and halberd both turn in too many results.

"I will take the Bone Claws as well as a Coat Hanger. How much would you give me for this Bone, Crystal Ball, and Gold Bar?"

Hoke rummages around his pack for a minute.

"Can you do anything with this? Mayhaps recharge it or re-purpose it? I feel there is some magic yet left within it."

Hoke presents the Used Summoning Amulet to the merchant.

OOC: Icy Halberd is from the Decamon Tournament, it was a prize for turning in one of the cards.

[JimBee]

OOC: Sorry. The Toxic Hood is in Asphalt's inventory (Headwear, converts poison to blessed effect). I think it's from a KotZ quest, or possibly Lind's.

"I see... then how about a Venomari Helmet? I hear those are not too rare, eheh... And I will take one of each of a Scroll of Sloth (slow) and a Scroll of Minimizing, as well as 3 Mushrooms." He handed over 1400 gold and his Gold Bar as payment.

Hybros also swapped his Fighting Boots out for his new Crystal Shoes and immediately chowed down on the Mushrooms.

"What? I was hungry... eheh."

[Purpearljellyblob]

"Oooooooo!" Zeus nearly squeals when Purpearl mentions she would like to be his apprentice. "Excellent choice, my friend! Let us see to those weapons, and then I will be able to start your training... but first!"

"A Cloak of the Grand Vizier would cost 500 gold, for you. A clockwork lance would cost 400. Again, I apologize, I have more aptitude for finding things at a reasonable price when they pertain directly to magic."

"How about Prayer Beads and Mercutio's Blessing, if they are not too hard to find? And how about Gems of each element?"

Purpearl takes off the Stingy Gloves and immediately equips her newly purchased Coat Hanger and her Tunic of Elven Acrobat as she ponders over the prices. She also attempts to trade in her Henry's Award and her 3 Bones for 200 and 15 gold respectively. (653+200+15=868) Holding out her Crocodile Handbag, "How much would you value this handbag?"

Icy Halberd (WP:9, triple damage against plants and electric enemies, no damage against fiery and rock enemies; halberd)

Arthur purchases the Mail of the Renegade Commander, hanging it on the Coat Hanger and equipping said coat hanger in place of his Tin Gloves. Arthur reaches into his pack and offers to sell Zeus Ella's Pie. "Perhaps you could make better use of this than I could? How much would you value this concoction?"

Hybros turned to his allies whilst they were finishing their purchases. "Now, to the reason why we are really here... In order to complete Guffington's goal, we must be in good graces with the council here. The Void Master thought that we would need at least three of the five as our allies before moving forward... if Guts and the others make it here with the other artifacts. I suggest we split up and each talk to a council member. We will probably need to return here later."
