Heroica RPG - Quest#148: Once Upon a Time in Goetia

[JimBee]

Hybros takes his loot gratefully and hefts the Rumble Mace. The weapon was huge, but somehow it fit into the imp's bag of holding. He hoped some sorcery would shrink it down to size in the meantime.

"If Catnip can promise to be more of a team player this time I'd be fine with taking her along, last time she endangered us all by insisting on doing her own thing."

"What has she done that we can trust this will not be a problem?"

[Sandy]

Byblos watched as the heroes argued back and forth, and finally raised up his arms with a deep sigh.


"Alright, so the majority thinks we should take Catnip with us. Alright, maybe this time she won't run away right before we face the Big Bad. But I would still like to thank you for your help, Aunt Briamarte."


"It was you who helped the citizens of Goetia get away, so you owe me nothing. Now I will leave what's left of our town in your hands and go attend to the survivors. May the Mother be by your side."

The priestess nodded to the heroes, while avoiding eye contact with the demon huntress, before sprinting after the fleeing town folk.

Aunt Briamarte left the party! Catnip Everdream joined the party as an uncontrollable ally!


"We don't have much time. You took care of most of the demons but there will be much more coming down from the rift any minute now unless we stop Solomon once and for all. So get prepared and we'll head for the castle."


"If you want to visit Sham Poo's wagon, now would be the best time to do so."

[Palathadric]

"Can't seem to recall him having anything useful the last time around." I mutter, taking my new hammer and swinging it around a few times to test the balance.

"Any of you have any business to attend to?"

[JimBee]

Hybros waved farewell to Briamarte. "Ehem, let us just hope that this internal demon of yours does not become a problem, Catnip." Zoot's Reaper buzzed continuously. "I have a lot of gold now, so I would like to make some last-minute preparations, heheh... But first, we should make sure Byblos is ready to read his scrolls."

The imp also counted out 150 gold for the diamond Sham offered, and 300 gold for the six Health Cores. He also wanted to inquire about Blind Bombs, Seal Bombs, and Pumpkin Bombs.

[Quarryman]

"Ah, master Hybros that's really too bad, I was just thinking about getting that diamond myself. I don't suppose you have any other gems, master Poo? "

[Palathadric]

I use the chance while the others are busy to dig with my Magic Shovel and then to scan the Castle with my Telescope for any signs of life or the man we're after.

[Sandy]

The party found Sham Poo's wagon parked just outside the city, a small distance from the king's camp. The half-orc came out to greet them.


"What are you doing here?! The sky's still green, so get back in there! Don't give up now, sheesh!"


"Calm down, Sham! We are only here to stock up our supplies."


"Oh, in that case..." Sham grinned so widely that all his razorsharp teeth showed. "How I may I help you, dear customers?"

The imp also counted out 150 gold for the diamond Sham offered, and 300 gold for the six Health Cores. He also wanted to inquire about Blind Bombs, Seal Bombs, and Pumpkin Bombs.

Sham took the 450 gold and handed Hybros the items.


"Oh, there are no bombs in my wagon, no sir!" the merchant replied horrified. "Don't want it to blow up from hitting a bump in the road."

"Ah, master Hybros that's really too bad, I was just thinking about getting that diamond myself. I don't suppose you have any other gems, master Poo? "

"Sorry, milady, but I haven't been able to procure more of them."

I use the chance while the others are busy to dig with my Magic Shovel and then to scan the Castle with my Telescope for any signs of life or the man we're after.

Digging around, Monk Pretzel found a vaccine (removes virus-effect; consumable.) that must've been dropped by one of the demons they fought. Scanning the castle again, he saw no movement on the barricades or windows. All residents of the castle must've gathered inside, like Catnip had told them.

[JimBee]

"Ah, master Hybros that's really too bad, I was just thinking about getting that diamond myself. I don't suppose you have any other gems, master Poo? "

"Sorry Namyrra, I did not realize this. If you would like to use it for the time being I am more than happy to loan it to you. If you have any Ether Cores to spare I would be willing to pay for one or two for Byblos as compensation."

Without any bombs to buy Hybros pocketed his Health Cores. He also slotted a Nostrum into his Hollow Dagger and knocked back a Mead and Mulled Wine. The two flavors did not complement each other. "I am ready to continue fighting these demons, although... I can not lose the feeling that we are walking into a trap." He glanced at Catnip.

[Palathadric]

"If only we had someone who could exorcise demons..." I say, not at all thinking of a quest currently taking place.

Taking out the vaccine, I carefully insert it into my bag, ensuring it doesn't leak or break.

[JimBee]

"If only we had someone who could exorcise demons..." I say, not at all thinking of a quest currently taking place.

Taking out the vaccine, I carefully insert it into my bag, ensuring it doesn't leak or break.

Hybros raised an eyebrow at Pretzel's high pitched voice, but continued on. "Remember Soryx the wereviper from the time we battled the army of moon elf shades? Now that was a demon hunter we could trust, heheh. I wonder where he is now? We could sure have used his help on this one."

[Palathadric]

"Quite. I met him on the first quest when we discovered Zylstra...I wonder how that lovely community is doing? You heard how we rescued them from the clutches of the Wolfgang who were extorting money from them? A terrible story really, but we restored them. Have you heard from any of them more recently?"

[Quarryman]

"Sorry Namyrra, I did not realize this. If you would like to use it for the time being I am more than happy to loan it to you. If you have any Ether Cores to spare I would be willing to pay for one or two for Byblos as compensation."

"No no, just take it, my intention for it would be to imbue it into my robes anyway for added protection, it's not like I need it for spells at the moment."

Namyrra drinks a nostrum and sniffs some smelling salts. "Trap you say, and trap may be, it does smell like a trap to me, but a few minutes there and they'll be gone (for good). Let's go."

[JimBee]

"Quite. I met him on the first quest when we discovered Zylstra...I wonder how that lovely community is doing? You heard how we rescued them from the clutches of the Wolfgang who were extorting money from them? A terrible story really, but we restored them. Have you heard from any of them more recently?"

"Hm, perhaps. They have had quite a few problems down there, they're lucky they have us to save them, heheh." Hybros hesitate about telling Pretzel, but supposed it couldn't do much harm. If it came down to it, the imp was confident in his abilities to fight, or at least outmaneuver the Artisan. "Ehem... Yes, in fact, my people have, erm, found their way back to this world and are currently living in Zylstra. The Baron was kind enough to let my people stay there until they - we - find a more permanent home." He looked down to avoid the Monk's eyes, Zoot's Reaper buzzing mischievously. He didn't want to admit all of the details pertaining to his people and how that related to their current task.

"No no, just take it, my intention for it would be to imbue it into my robes anyway for added protection, it's not like I need it for spells at the moment."

Namyrra drinks a nostrum and sniffs some smelling salts. "Trap you say, and trap may be, it does smell like a trap to me, but a few minutes there and they'll be gone (for good). Let's go."

"If we are successful here I am thinking about honing my skills a little more. I have tried my hand at magic, to a certain extent, but my friend Sigil has far more skill. Perhaps you would be willing to show me a thing or two about spellcasting sometime?"

[Palathadric]

"Ehem... Yes, in fact, my people have, erm, found their way back to this world and are currently living in Zylstra. The Baron was kind enough to let my people stay there until they - we - find a more permanent home."

As Hybros looks down, my eyes bore down on him.

"Did you just say that you invited your people into Zylstra and the baron accepted? Good God! I knew it was a bad idea to have you on that quest in the first place. The devil! I should have lopped off your head before we headed down there. Precious good that would have done! You probably would have grown a new one. Pesky devil! The horror! More beings like you? Occupying Zylstra! Damn them! I hope they haven't leached the place dry already. This heroic work is tiresome, isn't it? By God, we are continually having to clean up others messes.

"And when do you intend to move your people out of there and where exactly will they settle? Why not go back to the devil you came from so you can be destroyed with him. Oh, this is terrible news!"

Nevertheless, I comfort myself in the fact that Posco will be able to protect the inhabitants of Zylstra from the pesky devils. This thought gives me some hope at least.

The baron probably knows they can't try anything against them. Perhaps he's even using it as a plan to get rid of them.

I turn away but cast my eyes back at the devil for a moment.

What a strange, strange creature. He fights and kills demons with us so effortlessly. I must remember to keep my eye on him though. Suddenly replacing our holy Aunt with that other demoness doesn't seem like a very good idea at all!

Without any bombs to buy Hybros pocketed his Health Cores. He also slotted a Nostrum into his Hollow Dagger and knocked back a Mead and Mulled Wine. The two flavors did not complement each other. "I am ready to continue fighting these demons, although... I can not lose the feeling that we are walking into a trap." He glanced at Catnip.

"Well...were you expectin' to have the element of surprise? We kind of slaughtered half the demons in there, mate. I'd be worried if they didn't notice."

"Quite. I met him on the first quest when we discovered Zylstra...I wonder how that lovely community is doing?

"Zylstra? Isn't that the local sewer or somethin'?" Atramor tightened the Mythril Claws to his forearms. "What are demon hunters and magic imps doin' livin' in a sewer?" The thief shook his head, and tossed an Ether Core to Byblos. "Eat that, or...do whatever ya' do with it, ya ain't much help without ether mate, no offense."

Hybros grimaced. "I knew I should not have told you... You are so easily agitated, Monk. I am no demon as you can tell by the hordes attacking myself no different than you. I believe my kills far outnumber yours on this quest? So I would direct your suspicions elsewhere. And for your information, my people are doing just fine in Zylstra. Hm!"

"Well...were you expectin' to have the element of surprise? We kind of slaughtered half the demons in there, mate. I'd be worried if they didn't notice."

"It is not quite the demons that we have been slaying that I am worried about."

"Zylstra? Isn't that the local sewer or somethin'?" Atramor tightened the Mythril Claws to his forearms. "What are demon hunters and magic imps doin' livin' in a sewer?" The thief shook his head, and tossed an Ether Core to Byblos. "Eat that, or...do whatever ya' do with it, ya ain't much help without ether mate, no offense."

"There is much more below our city than sewers, Atramor, both friendly and not. Zylstra is a city of gnomes, dwarves and halflings. Eubric may seem bad to you, but these people have to deal with far worse than a few squabbling houses and a witch or two, heheh."

[Quarryman]

Namyrra uses an ether core on Byblos.

[Palathadric]

And for your information, my people are doing just fine in Zylstra. Hm!"

"Well, it's hardly your people I'm worried about, is it now?"

[Sandy]

QM Note: I realized that the Warlord's Helmet is broken if it's effect is can be used outside of battle (almost free encouragement for everyone, yay!), so I've decided to limit it's effect to battles only.

The thief shook his head, and tossed an Ether Core to Byblos. "Eat that, or...do whatever ya' do with it, ya ain't much help without ether mate, no offense."

Byblos accepted the Ether Core just as Namyrra used another one on him.


"Thank you, guys! I agree, with all my ether drained I'm not much of an asset... But time's a-wasting, so we should be off to the marquis' castle, shouldn't we?"


"About time... Get prepared, everyone. I don't think the remaining demons will leave us much room to get ready once they spot us."

[Quarryman]

"I'm ready."

[Palathadric]

I take a Smelling Salts and a Nostrum before equipping the Duke's Coat of Arms instead of the Soul Link Chain.

"I do believe I'm ready for the storming of that place."

[JimBee]

"I am ready. Do we have a plan or are we just walking in the front doors?"

[CMP]

Atramor barely even notices the bloodied halberd sitting in his coat amongst all his other weapons, instead digging around for a Mead and a Mulled Wine, gulping down both before nodding, refreshed.

"I am ready. Do we have a plan or are we just walking in the front doors?"

"Sounds like a decent plan to me, mate. Let's do it."

[K-Nut]

Althior takes a Nostrum and Smelling Salts.

I'm going through a move over the next couple days, so I may be untraceable. CMP can lead in my stead.

[Sandy]

QM Note: I have added your lottery prizes to your inventories.

This is it, guys. The final battle of the quest, and perhaps the last battle I will ever host. Let's make this one to remember!

Once everyone had gotten their preparations complete, Catnip nodded to the party grimly and led them back to the marquis's castle. It was eerily quiet until they reached the ballroom where the demons had trapped them before. This time the man in the wide-brimmed hat was there too, speaking to the demon horde with the fiery-eyed falcon perched on his other hand and a copy of the Pandemonicon in the other.

"Solomon!"


"So, you got out of the dungeon, my beloved. And I see you brought friends." The man measured the party with his eyes. The eyes were not those of a fully sane person, but instead darted back and forth frantically.


"All love we once had is long dead. As should you be."


"Master! These mortals dare to insult you! Can we just eat their souls now?"


"Be my guest, Asmodeus. But I believe you will find they will not go down as easy as you think. I think it is time to summon your empress from her long slumber. Keep them away from me in the meantime."

The falcon screamed and flapped her wings as Solomon opened his Pandemonicon. The man's eyes began to shine and foreign words of some lost language spilled from his lips. The demons then poured around him and surrounded the heroes, hissing and yelling and laughing maniacally.


"It is dessert time!"
