Heroica RPG - Quest #77: Your Elves are Better than Ours

[Sandy]

Since she had nothing better to do, Ellaria followed Arthur and Nerwen to the shops. She made a mental note of the dwarf standing still, but she was just secretly glad that they would be spared of Throlar's erratic behavior for the time being.

"Are you coming?" Ellaria asked Ahvialyn.

[Duvors]

She made a mental note of the dwarf standing still, but she was just secretly glad that they would be spared of Throlar's erratic behavior for the time being.

(OCC; Sandy, Throlar is on the ground, unconscious.)

[Wedge09]

Alexander takes the gold and the spear from Nerwen. "Thank you Nerwen. I will try to sell the spear, it is useless for my fighting style." then he follows the rest of the party to the market.

[Duvors]

(OCC; hello? anyone going to pay attention to Throlar?)

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen counted heads. Arthur, Alexander, Ellaria. She'd heard Boomingham mumble something about the knights.

The dwarf. Again. Last time she had seen him, he was fully healed and nothing was affecting him.

She shrugged. It would sort itself out.

Meanwhile, having remained at the spot where the Warlord fell, discussing details with the Hoplite an elf approached Lady Calaryl and spoke quietly in her ear. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the prone form of the dwarf.

Baelanith? she said.

Her fingers flicked in command and two elves bore him away to the keep.

[Brickdoctor]

I understand about the troops. So be it.

As for the agreement, I think it better to have a dishonoured agreement than none at all.

Please do so sign.

"As you wish."

One of the hoplites brings Hoplite Saunterton a piece of parchment and a quill, and he writes two copies of the agreement, placing Warlord Kaherdin's seal on both and giving one to Lady Calaryl.

After the Hoplite agrees, Nerwen leads the party to the shops, assuming there is no further diplomacy required.

You head back to the marketplace and Lady Dala's magic shop.

"Good afternoon, heroes."

His piece said, Arthur follows Nerwen to the shops, specifically entering the Magic Shop. "Lady Dala? I've been thinking about that Magic Key you showed me yesterday, and I'm thinking I'd be most happy to buy it from you."

Scroll of Sleep, Scroll of Blindness, Scroll of Confusion

Boomingham lingers, still hoping to see the Knights again.

You wait behind, until Duke Bârbêthân returns with his knights.

"Hello again, Lord Boomingham."

"I'm pleased to say that we killed many an escaping Pongcanae and caught numerous invading Mopags. No sign of the Dread Pirate, though."

"Still here? I thought I saw the other heroes return to the marketplace..."

"I suppose someone has to watch him."

Kadarphazân indicates Throlar's suddenly and inexplicably motionless body. You overhear Lady Calaryl and one of her elves discussing the issue of the dwarf.

"What can we do for you, Lord Boomingham?"

[Flipz]

"Thank you, Lady Dala. I think you'll find R'kilf to be a much safer place now, thanks to the efforts of my allies and I. The quiet life will be much easier to come by nowadays, I think. Good luck, Lady Dala."

Arthur next visits the Bank of R'kilf.

[Zepher]

"I just wished to offer my thanks and encouragement." Boomingham shakes the hand of every knight. "You had no real reason to help this village, and yet you did it. I cannot speak for Heroica as a whole, but I can say that you have my thanks and support. Best of lucks, chaps, stay safe, happy travels."

Boomingham then goes to the market, and remembering Arthur's suggestion from the previous day, makes his way to the smith.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen browses the wares in the magic shop. She approaches the counter.

Lokirim, Madam. I am interested in some of your gems. I know that you need make a profit, but your prices are higher than can be had elsewhere. If you would accept 100g a gem, I would be happy to buy from you now.

Elsewhere, Tholar's silent, prone form is gently deposited on a bed in a room below the keep, the door quietly closed and latched from the outside. Lady Calaryl gives instruction to two of her warriors.

Fetch me when he speaks.

[Chromeknight]

If Dala matches Elphaba's price, Nerwen buys an emerald and garnet. Then she follows Arthur to the bank.

[Duvors]

Throlars eyes open, what was he doing here? Must have carried me, why? Oh yes, I collapsed, why? Ermm... food! Yes, that's it! I haven't eaten for days!

Straining he managed to sit up and after rummaging in his pockets for a minute he pulled out a stale oatcake wrapped in paper and after unwrapping it munched contentedly.

[Wedge09]

Alexander follows the group to the bank.

[Chromeknight]

As Tholar's eyes adjust to the light, it becomes evident he is in a wine cellar.

He hears one of the elves leave to fetch Lady Calaryl.

[Zepher]

When Boomingham gets to the Smith, assuming his prices remain the same, he has Scupperer upgraded three times.

([12*7]+[13*7]+[14*7]=273), 359-273=86 Gold Left

[Duvors]

Throlar looks at the door, and after a few moments goes over to it.

After a quick examination he the door was locked, and that it was locked from the outside. Humpf, they may lock it from the outside, but these keyhole locks can be opened very easily, lets look, ah yes! The key is still in the lock!

Getting on the floor he slid the peace of paper used to wrap his oatcake underneath the door, then he took a small metal rod from his pocket, placed it in the lock, and wiggled it about for a moment. After a few seconds he heard a slight noise, removed the rod, and looked through the keyhole again, the key had fallen out!

Carefully sliding his peace of paper back under the door, he found the key had fallen on it, just as he'd hoped! Swiftly he took the key and unlocked the door, the remaining guard was so surprised to see him that for a few moments he said nothing, not that he had a chance.

"Would you like a jelly baby?" said Throlar taking a small paper packet from his pocket.

(OCC:Say the last five words three times fast. )

[Brickdoctor]

Lokirim, Madam. I am interested in some of your gems. I know that you need make a profit, but your prices are higher than can be had elsewhere. If you would accept 100g a gem, I would be happy to buy from you now.

"I cannot accept that much."

"Thank you, Lady Dala. I think you'll find R'kilf to be a much safer place now, thanks to the efforts of my allies and I. The quiet life will be much easier to come by nowadays, I think. Good luck, Lady Dala."

"I see. And to you as well."

Arthur next visits the Bank of R'kilf.

You walk to where the bank used to be, but all you find is a smoking ruin of a building, clearly the Pongcanae's doing.

QM Note:

All of the bank's services only applied for the duration of the quest.

"I just wished to offer my thanks and encouragement." Boomingham shakes the hand of every knight. "You had no real reason to help this village, and yet you did it. I cannot speak for Heroica as a whole, but I can say that you have my thanks and support. Best of lucks, chaps, stay safe, happy travels."

"We did have reason, Lord Boomingham: the Pongcanae must be stopped. I thank you for your assistance."

Boomingham then goes to the market, and remembering Arthur's suggestion from the previous day, makes his way to the smith.

When Boomingham gets to the Smith, assuming his prices remain the same, he has Scupperer upgraded three times.

([12*7]+[13*7]+[14*7]=273), 359-273=86 Gold Left

You go to the smithy.

"That is correct."

The smith accepts your Gold and upgrades your sword.

Throlars eyes open, what was he doing here? Must have carried me, why? Oh yes, I collapsed, why? Ermm... food! Yes, that's it! I haven't eaten for days!

Straining he managed to sit up and after rummaging in his pockets for a minute he pulled out a stale oatcake wrapped in paper and after unwrapping it munched contentedly.

For reasons unknown, you collapse, appearing to have been Knocked Out in the middle of a street. When you regain consciousness with 1 Health, you find yourself trapped inside of a dark room.

Throlar looks at the door, and after a few moments goes over to it.

After a quick examination he the door was locked, and that it was locked from the outside. Humpf, they may lock it from the outside, but these keyhole locks can be opened very easily, lets look, ah yes! The key is still in the lock!

[Zepher]

"Thank you! You ought to set up shop in Eubric, you could outbid our local chappo." Boomingham bows in thanks and, upon spotting the rest of his party walking around, raises his hand above his head in greeting. "Nerwen! Ellaria!" He makes his way towards them. "Are you prepared to go home? I could use a drink, for one."

[Chromeknight]

I believe I am ready. Though our Mage is keen to use his key on the locked warehouse Ellaria mentioned.

Also, we should find our Amabassador. Have you seen him?

[Flipz]

Arthur moves to the R'kilf Potion Co..

"Might as well check while we're here."

[Chromeknight]

Tholar hears a slow clapping.

Inventive. said Lady Calaryl.

You are here because I am informed you are responsible for the harm dealt to one of my men.

She raises a hand.

Spare me your tedious and predictable denials. You have been positively identified.

You have harmed one of mine. Your life is forfeit. Have no doubt I could take it now myself if I so chose.

But you may yet be useful and repay the debt in another way. Sometime in your career at Heroica you will have the opportunity to gain favour with House Shadeux, the employers of Sir Shawe. Take that opportunity. Then send word to me. You will be asked to use that good reputation to deliver something to them for me. And then I will count you free of obligation.

Do we have an understanding Master Wineghilm?

Calaryl waited patiently for his response, the armoured knights flanking her only emphasising Throlar's lack of options other than speech.

I believe I am ready. Though our Mage is keen to use his key on the locked warehouse Ellaria mentioned.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about it! Maybe there's something inside that will help the villagers rebuild the damages done by the raiders", Ellaria says. She's unsure if they have indeed done all they can for the villagers yet, but then again, she also knows that the people must take fate to their own hands from now on.

"Once that is done, I am ready to depart. I hope things will look up for these people now."

[Duvors]

Throlar kneels, "My Lady," he said, "before the battle I placed my life at your command, If my life is forfeit, then it is your right to take it. I do not think I would have denied anything you told me so long as it was true, in fact, I was meaning to feel you myself, that and more... But you feel I may preform some service to you, if that is so I will do this thing that you tell me. I have a debt to this village, and I would die to see it repaid."

[Chromeknight]

It seems you have finally learned diplomacy Ambassador.

So be it. A subtle hand signal dismisses the guards, Lady Calaryl herself steps clear of the doorway

You are free to go and rejoin the others. I believe they went to the marketplace.

Keep your word Naugr. Farewell.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen smiled at the young Druid.

So we have our plan. Potion shop, warehouse then back to brobric to report. Hopefully we shall not need to spend another night here.

[Flipz]

"Indeed. It has been a long few days, but I see not a need to spend longer--it is merely a brief browsing through wares before a swift journey home."
