Tachyon Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Mizuki says to the party "I'm more worried about what we're going to have to escort back, rather then what we're escorting now." Quote
LordoftheNoobs Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 "Hmm, good point, lass. Who knows what we could be dealin' with 'ere..." "Oh yes, thank ye for lendin' me yer medal, Mr. Thormanil, I'll take giid care of it!" Ooc: Swils, I think I love you. :D :P Quote
swils Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 The longer I can forestall reaching level 40, the better! For now, at least. Enjoy the experience boost! "Bandits and highwaymen, I can deal with. I've only heard whisperings of the Wolfgang while I've been around the Hall, so I can't imagine them bein' too much of an issue, either." Quote
Endgame Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 "I... dispatched two of their generals." I look at my mutilated hand, and banish that train of thought. "Time to go, then?" Quote
swils Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Sorry, one more item swap. Turns out I was incorrectly remembering reputation unlocks. Now, I'd rather like to ensure that I hit 30 here, heh. Thormanil turns again to Grimwald, "Strangest thing just now, a voice in m'head raised a good point. Sorry, Grim, but I'm gonna hang onto, and re-equip, that Medal of Glory for a battle or two. Yer free to use it afterwards, though! In the meantime, you're welcome to use the Bright Armor or Aqua Gear if ya want." Quote
LordoftheNoobs Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 " That's quit e alright, lad " Grimwald says. "Yer generosity more than makes up for yer indecisiveness!" he jokes, as he accepts the Bright Armour. Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 "Time to go, then?" "I'm ready to leave whenever you are. It's a two day trip to Bric'lin and we're burnin' daylight stayin here." Quote
swils Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 "I don't think I'd be too out of line to say that we should get this show on the road, then. Lead on, Mac!" Rereading the first page, I entirely missed that TBW suggested I loan out the Fighter's Boots as well. Endgame, you're free to use those, too. Quote
Endgame Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I shake my head as Thormanil offers me the boots. "No thanks, Raider. I simply assasinate - the boots are better fitted for someone built to deal damage." "Lets go." Quote

If the cart's Health reaches 0, the cargo will be damages and you will have failed the quest. Feeling their questions had been answered, or at least that any further questions would likely receive the same vague responses as the prior queries. The party decided to set out for their destination. Mac tighened the harness on his horse Mondo and made his way out of the gate, and the city. The sun was still low in the sky and the trees near the side of the road provided a comfortable shade. Travel could be boring at times, and Mac was glad to have company on the trip. He decided to try striking up a conversation with his new companions to help the time pass faster. "So tell me, what's it like being a Hero of Heroica?" Edited June 17, 2013 by joeshmoe554 Quote
swils Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 "A lot less glamorous than it may sound. A while ago, I had to wade through the nastiest swamp. The stench was so foul... Urgh. How's cart driving?" Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 "Just as glamorous as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, I like that it gets me out of the city for a decent bit of time, but it isn't the life of adventure and excitement you must experience. Even at a nasty swamp, you must get some terrific stories to tell." Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 "Stories of death, pain and anguish. We see people getting slaughtered, sometimes by our own hand, we make bad choices. " Romulus shakes his head. "No, the life of a hero is not glamorous. " Quote
Endgame Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 "Far from it. Really, we just end up being paid undertakers. We go in, kill, make a tough decision down the line. And at the end of the day, the only thing left for us to do is sit down and enjoy a few cold drinks with friends." Quote
swils Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 "Not to say there aren't any fun times, though! Why, I once hurled m'self over a balcony into a diplomatic meeting and lunged at the guy we were after." he pauses to think for a moment, "although, I guess we did sort of help spark a nasty war, there..."

Tachyon Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 "That can't be possible, I saw the Death Progg's head get pierced by a broomstick and the Death Progg's tail impaled itself through the back. Not to mention that is suffered damage from its fight against us.Unless a progg can regenerate its brain, it died that very day" Quote

We should be able to handle this without riskin' you getting hurt too badly." Thormanil attacks Henry from the front row. Mac does nothing from the back row. Drat, I knew I forgot to do something before the quest! That amethyst is supposed to be in my saber. Silly, silly me. EG, feel free to switch Mac's action if you all feel differently. Mine too, for that matter. I'm heading out for the evening and might not be back til it's late. Edited June 18, 2013 by swils Quote
