K-Nut Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 "Altier, I believe he meant afterwards. Just like I would like an amythest gem. Although if no one is willing to part with one, I'd be content with a substitute. Probably emerald." "Altier? I am Althior! Altior is the High Conjurator. How can you get us mixed up? I'm way more handsome!"
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Cronk think everyone counting chickens before hatching. Party should worry about reward distribution once party completes quest. Cronk think there probably still a lot of evil left to bash. Cronk think we need to go save other mages and find out what happen to Matriarch. Cronk remember Altair say voice familiar. About how long ago did Mage Altair hear this voice? Did something else evil happen to Mage family then? Edited August 24, 2011 by CorneliusMurdock
Pandora Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Ooooh! Shiny! Now I can kill things in even more interesting ways! Nyx can feel the power of the gems and knows it will be difficult for her to part with them again, however she swore she'd do her duty for Heroica, and just having the opportunity to feel their magic is enough, for now... I think Cronk is very wise, we should focus on the matter in hand, and it would be useful to know more of this voice from your childhood, High Conjurator, and perhaps understand if there is some sort of curse upon this great family. Having said that, I am quite keen to try out these new gems...
K-Nut Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 "True, True. I say that we should depart as soon as possible. Material things can not become before the matter at hand. Or however that saying goes. "
Sandy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Cronk remember Altair say voice familiar. About how long ago did Mage Altair hear this voice? Did something else evil happen to Mage family then? The red-clad mage shakes his head. "I didn't even remember having heard such a voice before I heard it again. And even as we speak I have trouble remembering what the voice sounded like... It's as if the voice does not want to be remembered... But if what it said is true, that we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, then I think I can guess when I heard the voice the last time... It was when mother died, back when Goldraum and I were just little children. Oh, this is so horrible..." The High Conjurator falls silent, and just sits at the couch of the parlour. There is nothing more to be found in that room. What will the party do next?
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Cronk think party should search other rooms. Maybe find other mages, maybe find clues to what evil thing made mages vanish. Cronk sorry to bring up but what Mage Altair remember of Mage Altair's mother's death?
Sandy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Cronk sorry to bring up but what Mage Altair remember of Mage Altair's mother's death? "I don't remember much." The wizard's voice is quiet, almost a whisper. "Most of it was told to us by our father. He said mother had died in a magical accident. It is a common way for a wizard to go, I admit. Some survive, but are altered for life, like our sister Chesterine. Anyway, the night father told us that mother had died the ominous voice spoke to us... Grandmother was very upset then, I don't think I've ever seen her in such a state of mind after that. It was a very scary situation for us children, and I think I kept my eyes closed through most of it. I-I'm sorry, I fear we are involved with something highly dangerous... If you can help, I am very grateful, but if you think you cannot, I won't blame you for running away. I would, if I could... But I don't know what happened to Beth and the children... Oh no, the children!" With that, the High Conjurator stood up and dashed out of the parlour. The heroes were left standing alone.
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Children?! If children in trouble, Cronk think party should follow Mage Altair and make sure children safe. Cronk not remember a Beth... Shall Cronk and party follow Mage Altair?
Pandora Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Well, I guess he didn't want to talk to us anymore, and I suppose someone had to think of the children. As usual, Cronk, you're very sensible, we should move on to another room and be prepared to do battle with an occasional table, or umbrella stand.
Dannylonglegs Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 "I concur with you Nyx, we'll pobably see Atiar again... I just hope he'll be in one piece. So, let's get moving! I suggest we make our way to the roof. Altier hinted that the spell came down the chimney, so maybe it came from the roof, or atleast a higher up level's fireplace. Also, If we can find it without Altiar, we outta check out Zelda's room."
Quarryman Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 "Yes, let's move, I highly doubt that this room has anything else worth exploring. And I really want to meet an angry dinner table to try out these new gems on. "

"Ssshhhooossstttrrr dddrrrwwwwssshhh", the butler hisses, holding out a slip of paper. The party takes it, and realize it's a sketch of the layout of the Ziegfried Manor. Now that they know how to navigate in the manor, where does the party want to head first?
K-Nut Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 "I suggest we work our way up. I would suggest starting in the servant's quarters. Since right now it's basically a shot in the dark, does anyone else have somewhere they want to go?"
Pandora Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Aww, thanks Schuester, aren't you sweet! Righty-ho, I agree that it's best to start on this floor and work our way through all the rooms. Oh my... there are a lot of rooms to search, 12 in fact that we've not yet been in (not counting the hallways), and we mustn't forget to visit the sunroom. The servants' quarters are as good a place as any to start, unless someone objects? I really would like to kill something soon.
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Cronk has no problem with staring in servant's quarters.
Sandy Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 The party decides to check the servants' quarters first. There are four beds (although the one belonging to Schuester looks more like some animal's nest than a bed), one of which is occupied by a snoring housemaid. None of the furniture seem bent to attack them, and there is nothing worthwhile to take.
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Cronk think maybe library should be searched next.
Pandora Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I'm sure that bed's looking at me funny, but anyway...Onwards! To the library! Killing a sleeping housemaid is no sport, and who'd do the cleaning up afterwards? And we can always come back if someone really wants to..
K-Nut Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 "The library sounds good, though we'll probably get attacked by books. Where were we with the High Conjurator?"
Quarryman Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 "Indeed, let's go to the library, I'm sure these Ziegfrieds have an impressive book collection."
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 "The library sounds good, though we'll probably get attacked by books. Where were we with the High Conjurator?" All mages and party were in Parlour before.
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 And at the library, I'd like to search the records and books for anything with voices and purple magic/light. Perhaps something in there could tell us of a magic spell of sort that could help us/give us information on what we are dealing with.
Dannylonglegs Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) "Library sounds fine to me." Said Sylph, his bat crawling out from under his cape and onto his shoulder. Sylph instinctively nuzzled it like one would a cat. Edited August 26, 2011 by Dannylonglegs
Sandy Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 The party heads to inspect the Library next. Much to their surprise, they find books fluttering in the air around a grinning desk with an ample amount of lipstick. When the sentient table spots the party, however, it starts to moan. "N-n-no, I cannot stop myself! P-please forgive me, Sir Cronk!" The voice belongs to the Secondary Spiritist Mabel Ziegfried. Not being able to resist the curse, she attacks the party, accompanied by five flying books. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

CorneliusMurdock Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Do not worry, Cronk save Mage Mabel! Cronk will bash Mabel the Table from front row.
