The Legonater · November 11, 2014

That crossbow looks pretty nice. I'll take it if no one else does.

So are we done here? Luke, you should tend to Sir Leonard if you can.

CMP · November 11, 2014

Loot

Dyric - Crossbow of Incessant Warlords, 90 gold

Atramor - Bracers of instiable Avarice, 90 gold

Monk - Cloak of the Barbaric Runecaster, 90 gold

Namyrra - 220 gold

Atramor hands out the loot and stares out the window briefly. McCafferey sits on its perch, gazing down at the city idly before turning her head back towards the regulator. He turns and strides back into the interior of the room, merely adjusting the brim of his hat.

"Luke, see what ya' can do for Leonard," he commanded. "Dyric, make sure the other corpses are just that - corpses." Atramor walked over to the secondary door and threw it open, checking to see if the Patuqun knights were still alive and had finished their battle.

Palathadric · November 11, 2014

Wait a moment, did the Dread Pirate actually escape, if so Dyric should track him down.

"Mage, do you want this Cloak? I can't use it and it would provide more SP than your Ethereal one should the situation warrant it. Otherwise, I'll just sell it at the marketplace when I get back, assuming no one wants it at the hall."

I pull out my Magic Shovel and mindlessly pluck out some loose bricks in floor, looking for treasure.

CMP · November 11, 2014

"Ya' can use anything, Pretzel. The cloak's only suitable for a few people and Namyrra ain't one of them."

Palathadric · November 11, 2014

"Ya' can use anything, Pretzel. The cloak's only suitable for a few people and Namyrra ain't one of them."

:facepalm: Still thinking of myself as a Cleric and somehow I thought that Battlemage was Archmage. :wacko: :laugh:

"Oh...um...right of course I knew that...erm."

**Brickdoctor** · November 12, 2014

I pull out my Magic Shovel and mindlessly pluck out some loose bricks in floor, looking for treasure.

Ignoring the massive pile of gold, gems, and priceless artifacts sitting in the corner, you use your Magic Shovel to smash the floor boards. You find 50 Gold's worth of gold dust and shards of gems.

"Excellent work, heroes. We are extremely impressed by the progress of the Heroica organization thus far. Your recent results were beyond our expectations, and that is not a statement this council of knights makes lightly.

"Heroes, unfortunately, one of our members was forced to discontinue his involvement in the projects of this world. Nevertheless, excellent work. This council is pleased to see that our continued employment of support from Heroica has been...worthwhile. We hope that your current successes only mark the beginning of an enduring effort to eliminate the Pongcanis threat."

Sir Isaac hands you 100 Gold, promising to increase your reputation with the Shadeaux and to ensure you receive access to the Skirmisher class. Accepting your reward, you wander the halls of the cleared Pongcanae base before exiting into the streets of R'kilf. The town is just waking up, early morning beams of sunshine piercing the clouds and creating rays in the crisp air, oblivious to what happened in the night. Eventually, you walk out the gates and return to Eubric and Heroica Hall.

"We may have been too late anyways. He's already done with R'kilf. The Pogs had already begun moving their tribes towards the sea."

"And knowing Indiacca, he's not just returning to the forests and lagoons of Kyyyshak. Eubric is a trading port; he's returning to his roots, the high seas.

"This is a victory for us. We've flushed the Dread Pirate out of his main base, and now we can engage him in a more open field of battle, not on his terms, and I'm much more comfortable with that.

"The hard part is arguably behind us; the heroes came through. Now we just need to make sure we don't lose him again."

"Belsant won't lose him. Remember, Indiacca, we will be watching."
