PsyKater Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Yes, that sounds about right: 9 Hammers 15 Wrenches 8 Pickaxes 20 Shovels 10 Crowbars 7 Magnifying Glasses 4 Brooms and 1 Compass? Is that a Compass on the desk, Mr. Gnome? Otherwise, I'd go for either the quill, although that sounds a bit ridiculous. Alternatively, there are two telescope-like objects in the picture, but they are posing suspiciously as torches, so I doubt they can actually be the tools of which Gnomeo is referring. I'll settle for the Compass." "Check. I see a compass on the desk as well."
Dragonfire Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Yeah. I still wonder what those weird brown tiles are.."
Sandy Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 Seeing Stigveladi dig up some gold, I quickly dig with my Magic Shovel as well...outside that is. Monk Pretzel doesn't find anything, since Stigveladi already dug on the location. "Yes, that sounds about right: 9 Hammers 15 Wrenches 8 Pickaxes 20 Shovels 10 Crowbars 7 Magnifying Glasses 4 Brooms and 1 Compass?" "Nyeh, that means they're all there... So nothing was taken after all? Much ado about crap, nyeh nyeh! But wait! What about my Little Red Toolkit? Gimme that!" Once again the gnome grabs the picture to himself. "It's gone! Unbelievable! My skills as an artisan are totally dependent on it!" "Oh, I'm sorry for your loss, dear Mr. Gnomeo! I promise the Town Watch will do its everything to get it back to you." "You'd better!" The always-joking gnome seems to have gone uncharacterically somber and sulky. GNOMEO'S CASE SOLVED! Amma, Monk Pretzel, Sorrow and Thalion all gain a third of a level. Heckz gains half of a level and Avalanche gains a full level.

I still wonder what those weird brown tiles are.." "Those are just planks, you plank. Now get out of my sight until you come back with that toolkit!" "That means we only have merchant to go to. Or would you like to see the pictures I took from yesterday's crowd first? The customers will start flooding this place any minute now, so it could be smart to compare who's returning to the "scene of the crime". Eh, Warlock?" "What? Oh, yes! Smart, indeed! Very good, dear Watsap."
Dragonfire Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Yes, could we see the pictures please?" asks Avalanche.
Sandy Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 "Here you go! Spot anything suspicious?" Watsap presents the party with three pictures.
Dragonfire Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Avalanche's eyes narrow, "I can see a demon wearing the bumblebee suit that went missing! And a gingerbread man! Besides, there's a werehen in the corner with a few other strange people- and they're talking quietly and one has a gold ring- I think we've found our villains. Wait- one of them looks like Donny Dozenhands and the other like the Copper Fox!" "Besides, I recognise some of those people from the NPC index portraits in the Library. There's Lyren Hinckwell, Umbra and Nuitan Shadeaux, Ella, Lt. Serevan, and a couple of other familiar faces- a goblin regulator, a female orc and many others. We can rule them out immediately."
-obelix- Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Avalanche's eyes narrow, "I can see a demon wearing the bumblebee suit that went missing! And a gingerbread man! Besides, there's a werehen in the corner with a few other strange people- and they're talking quietly and one has a gold ring- I think we've found our villains. Wait- one of them looks like Donny Dozenhands and the other like the Copper Fox!" Thalion nodded after looking at the pictures, "You are right, there are some strange coincidences regarding people on these pictures and the items we found in the warehouses we visited so far. I guess we can continue to Elphaba and keep those in mind."
Cutcobra Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "The chicken guy also looks like the bee guy, aside from the outfits of course." Heckz saw that there was one of the ugliest female orcs he has ever seen next to Elphaba and he almost vomited.
Dragonfire Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Imagine you were her, Heckz- step into her shoes," says Avalanche, "Try being ugly yourself before you run someone down." He replies to Thalion, "In case we forget, I think Pretzel should write it down in his Leads notebook. And I agree, we should head to Elphaba's and finish this case."
Palathadric Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) "Why, if it isn't Miss Shadeaux! I met her whilst curing a dragon in Dastan. Perhaps she'll be at the marketplace today again." I scan the picture. "That insect-like figure standing by the weapons rack has a mark of pure evil about him...and by 'pure' I don't mean 'clean', I mean 'total.'" I continue searching. "Sure enough there is the bumble bee costume that we saw in Fabian's shop and the gingerbread man. If you'll notice there are two chickens following the 'werehen' around. Suspicious much, eh? The 'werebunny' also has a carrot in his bucket. I recall slaying a demon much like him a few quests ago." "Let us move on to the last shop...I believe we did them all...which one is remaining still?" Edited November 21, 2013 by Palathadric
Palathadric Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Monk Pretzel doesn't find anything, since Stigveladi already dug on the location. Magic Shovel always finds something. Looking at the picture I shake my head. "Eubric has too many evil people for its own good. One only needs to look at a painting like this to know that. "That man does look an awful lot like the Copper Fox from behind...it appears as if he's fraternizing with a member of the...Wolfgang...and the Town Watch are doing nothing." I shake my head in dismay again.

"That man does look an awful lot like the Copper Fox from behind...it appears as if he's fraternizing with a member of the...Wolfgang...and the Town Watch are doing nothing." I shake my head in dismay again. I bite my lip, concealing a tranquil fury. Copper Fox... Of all the veterans, he was the one who taught us almost everything we know about our job classes. Could he possibly be allied with scum like the wolfgang? "I was told by Violetta and Donny that they had a veteran in their rank and file... It seems we have a winner. That is the most suspicious thing of all."
Palathadric Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "I was told by Violetta and Donny that they had a veteran in their rank and file... It seems we have a winner. I gaze in suspicion at the demon. Could it be true? Impossible. He is attempting to sow seeds of division. Why would the Copper Fox train those who are going out to put an end to such criminal organizations, if he were one of them? It's not possible.

Why would the Copper Fox train those who are going out to put an end to such criminal organizations, if he were one of them? It's not possible. I take no notice of the monk's discerning stare. "It would explain how he knows how to train Beast Warriors... He's with them, so he would probably pick up the skill - or perhaps even taught the Wolfgang some of their tricks. Unbelievable.."
Palathadric Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Impossible..." I mutter, through clenched teeth, but it did sound like too much of a coincidence to not be true.
Cutcobra Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) "Imagine you were her, Heckz- step into her shoes," says Avalanche, "Try being ugly yourself before you run someone down." He replies to Thalion, "In case we forget, I think Pretzel should write it down in his Leads notebook. And I agree, we should head to Elphaba's and finish this case." Heckz looks at Avalanche furiously. "ME? UGLY?" Heckz punches Avalanche in the face "Call me ugly again and next time I won't be so soft on you." Holy Beautiful, punching this guy may have broken all of my hand's bones. Edited November 21, 2013 by Eric Su
Palathadric Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Your hair is sticking up in the air for no apparent reason... "It also looks somewhat sand-filled." I raise my Flying Cross in an unthreatening way, but to parry any blows Heckz may send my way.
Endgame Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Heckz looks at Avalanche furiously. "ME? UGLY?" Heckz punches Avalanche in the face "Call me ugly again and next time I won't be so soft on you." Holy Beautiful, punching this guy may have broken all of my hand's bones. I shake my head as I look at the raving, beauty crazed hero. "I pity you, really, I do. But that gives you no excuse to persecute and insult those who are "lesser" than you."
Cutcobra Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Heckz looks at the monk "My.... HAIR!?" Heckz turns to the other party members. "That's it, I say we kill the racist, stupid, ugly piece of megablocks monk." I shake my head as I look at the raving, beauty crazed hero. "I pity you, really, I do. But that gives you no excuse to persecute and insult those who are "lesser" than you." "At which point have I insulted anyone who is uglier than me? Other than the monk of course."

"That's it, I say we kill the racist, stupid, ugly piece of megablocks monk." "As much as he has persecuted me? No. Get a grip, Heckz - you're acting out of control. Whats gotten into you?" Edited November 22, 2013 by Endgame
Cutcobra Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 "As much as he has persecuted me? No. Get a grip, Heckz - you're acting out of control. Whats gotten into you?" Heckz calms down. "Yeah I guess you're right. Although the monk should think twice next time before talking about my hair." Heckz walks to Avalanche "Sorry about that, but no one, not even my own family gets to call me ugly. Not even if it is a megablocking joke."

Heckz walks to Avalanche "Sorry about that, but no one, not even my own family gets to call me ugly. Not even if it is a megablocking joke." I grunt, looking away from the sorceror. "You have nothing else but your looks, don't you?"
Cutcobra Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I grunt, looking away from the sorceror. "You have nothing else but your looks, don't you?" "To be truthful..." Heckz brushes his hair "...I don't."
PsyKater Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Amma looks at the pictures and recognizes her trainer and teacher as well. Dealing with a member of the Wolfgang. How could this be? Was he planning something? "Let's head to Elphaba now, beauties. I sense that we have almost solved this case."
