Heroica RPG - Quest #151: Send the Pain Below

[Sandy]

Ellaria looked at Sigil's lifeless body and couldn't help but to picture her friend Hybros in his place. She felt miserable despite their success.

"The Crimson Crown has to be stopped, once and for all. The alchemists are not in favor of using magic, but this is going to extremes. We could all live together, side by side, if we only so wished. I for one hope the gnomes and the imps find a new home to continue with their lives. I have an apothecary to myself on Marlin Street, I can host as many of you as fits in the house comfortably."

While waiting to hear if the imps or gnomes would take her offer, Ellaria dealt out the loot:

Ellaria: Level Up Mushroom, Mulled Wine, Blind Bomb, Seal Bomb, 35 gold

Ezeran: Level Up Mushroom, Smelling Salts, Nostrum, Etherium Pauldrons, 35 gold

Goliath: -

Hunkan: 2x Level Up Mushroom, Mead, Mulled Wine, 35 gold

Petaldan: Level Up Mushroom, Baron's Oversized Hat, Nostrum, Etherium Ore, 35 gold

Kid: Level Up Mushroom, Mead, Smelling Salts, Etherium Handcannon, 35 gold

OoC: Thank you for the quest, it was short and sweet, and seeing a lot of familiar faces from other quests was a treat!

[Palathadric]

"Oh, dear, this didn't end all that well, did it? I feel terrible for the poor people of Zylstra."

Receiving, the loot, I accept it graciously, and then hand the Nostrum to Hunkan.

"Here, you can probably use this more than I can.

[BountyBeast]

"Thank you. I hope luck will favor us all in future quests."

[MysticModulus]

"Thank you. I hope luck will favor us all in future quests."

" With those intruders fleeing Doctor Culas assembly and now the destruction of the imps home we could sure use some luck from here on..." Ezeran hang on to the words while dusting soot of his satchel. The lips of the sleeping symbiont formed words in a language unknown to most men as an afterthought.

Ellaria looked at Sigil's lifeless body and couldn't help but to picture her friend Hybros in his place. She felt miserable despite their success.

"The Crimson Crown has to be stopped, once and for all. The alchemists are not in favor of using magic, but this is going to extremes. We could all live together, side by side, if we only so wished. I for one hope the gnomes and the imps find a new home to continue with their lives. I have an apothecary to myself on Marlin Street, I can host as many of you as fits in the house comfortably."

Tyrfrix's eyes widened.

"Your kindness is unmatched, Ellaria. I will speak to my people of this matter, but I can say that we would be most grateful to be your guests, at least until we find a home of our own."

Tyrfrix addressed all the heroes.

"Again, thank you for your help. I hope to see each of you again some day."

With that, he took Sigil's body in his arms and headed down the alleyway, leaving the heroes to find their way back to Heroica Hall. Only a faint stench of smoke exuding from the sewers would be of any indication to outsiders of the disaster.
