Near the Prissim Avenue entrance, Germ spots a map of the gardens. "You think very highly of yourself don't you? Do you think I should be telling strange men in a park my daily routine?" The woman makes ready to leave, "Come on Yenji." Hey I found a map. So that is what it looks like from above... 1 hour ago, Alfadas said: Torald casually walks back to the Dalmatian, and with one swift motion removes the collar from the dog. Are these guys bothering you lady? He said to the upset lady. Then eventually turning to the lady dressed in green and said...I bet you are feeling a little left out. Everyone seems to be paying attention to everyone else but you. Quote

Zepher Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 “Hm...” Boomingham squints at the map, dread growing in his stomach. “Don’t have the faintest where we should be going. But this...” he taps the Hinckwell Villa in the bottom corner of the map. “Didn’t someone say the Hinckwells left? Might be a good place to hide something.” Quote

I look around to see if Germ is somewhere close. I lean forward and whisper, "Has he mentioned anything about the return of the Founders? I hope the Town Watch hasn't been giving him problems." "Why would the Town Watch... wait aren't you guys in trouble or something? There was a whole mess of Z-mails swirling about earlier." 16 hours ago, Khorne said: "I do, actually.

Torald casually walks back to the Dalmatian, and with one swift motion removes the collar from the dog. "What the Hel!"Torald slips the collar off the dog, as he does so the hound begins to grow in size, it's eyes glowing a bright blue. It speaks in a icy guttural voice to Torald. <MaNy tHAnkS MorTAl>The dog quickly bounds away, jumping over the wall of the gardens and dashing off into the streets of Eubric.

What the...is your dog going to do something like that? ...I think I am starting to understand that "peace" thing you are trying to find. If I don't change my current associates, I probably just be annoyed all the time. Quote

Let's hope it doesn't eat citizens, maybe just a couple of guards. Yikes. Torald stands there, a bit awkward. Uhm, miss, did you know your cutsie little doggie was an Ice Hound? If so, where did you get it and why did you keep it? Quote
MysticModulus Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Standing up from his hole Ezeran looks worried. He motions the rest of the heroes to come to him. He leans in and talks in a low voice. "We have a severe problem on our hands, these roots seems to be an invasive species of either plant or fungi. It seems that it doesn't like light magic which could mean that it has demonic origin or that it's a product of black magic. It could be the result of malign intent, planted here to wreck havoc to our ecosystems or it could have gotten here by accident from a portal to another realm. Either way, we have problems..." Quote
Alfadas Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Well, it might have gotten here, planted by the same people who opened the portal in the Oracle's place. But we are still none the wiser where the Oracle might be. And then this demon dog? That doesn't belong here either... Quote

The woman looks more stern, "I'm leaving to find the Watch and have you all arrested!" I didn't turn anyone into a big Ice Hound. I just removed the collar. My best guess is that something, in this city, has cast an evil spell on this collar. That something is what we are trying to find and dispose off. I'd recommend staying with us, since those puny guards can't do much against it. Look, I'm sorry about what happened to your doggie. Something just looked odd about it. Now, we want to make sure you are save. Stick with us, we can and will protect you. The Watch, not so much. But if you insist on going through the city, potentially running into whomever did this to your dog, be my guest. The Watch won't help you. Torald says, turning his back on the woman and focusing on the white roots. He takes out his shovel and digs a whole bunch of holes, mostly where Germ didn't dig already. Quote

Zepher Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 “We have to move,” grumbles Boomingham. “Torald, do you think something turned that dog or it was in disguise? Should we follow it, or try to follow these vines?” OoC: Sorry I haven’t been super responsive, WBD, but I really don’t know what we’re supposed to be doing here. Quote

Should we follow it, or try to follow these vines?” Hard to say. But it did say "thanks, mortal". So I think something turned that hound into a lapdog. Not a clue what though... I'd say follow these vines, they seem to be of more importance than the dog/hound/thing. But I agree, we have to move. We can't afford to stay in one place too long. Quote
Palathadric Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 "Torald, Ezeran, I don't know if it has anything to do with our investigation, but it seems that 'Wally' has gone missing as well. He was supposed to see Annabelle almost an hour ago and, uncharacteristically, hasn't shown up. Strange?" Quote

Palathadric Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 "I just think that all of these problems might be linked and since we can't get to the bottom of one, perhaps getting to the bottom of another will help to shed light on the first." Quote

Should we follow it, or try to follow these vines?” The Nord nodded in agreement. "We should definitely move. I say we try to follow the vines. Maybe they're related to the Arbomancer's whereabouts. He might've picked up on their trail and started investigating himself. I imagine these plants would be of great interest to someone studying wood magic" 23 hours ago, Alfadas said: Amazing how more and more problems just keep piling up. Do you want to go look for him? "Like I said, if we try to follow the roots, I have a feeling we might find the your friend as well" Eric turned to Wally's fiancee. "Does your guy have any place where he studies trees or plants or whatever it is arbomancers do? A place where he might've gotten so hooked on his studies he lost track of time and forgot to meet you here?" Quote
Alfadas Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Yeah, let's follow the roots. And we better hurry if we don't want to meet the Guards. I could go for a beating though but let's stay safe. Quote
Zepher Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 “I’m all for following the root, the issue is they seem to be everywhere. How the Hel do we follow them?” Quote

"Wally works here in the gardens, he helps keep everything blooming even in the middle of winter. He could of gotten caught up in one of the projects around the garden, but he usually doesn't keep me waiting." 7 hours ago, Zepher said: “I’m all for following the root, the issue is they seem to be everywhere.
