Heroica RPG - Quest #157: Staking the Flag

[Waterbrick Down]

The heroes of the Crescent Union slowly assemble at the palace of the Ji Pei where they are greeted by Jun and his mother.


"What a fine selection of expertise we have before us."


"Indeed mother, some of the very best of the Union. Heroes, I know that a good majority of you did not agree with my position as it regards this undertaking, but I am thankful for your offer to assist and to follow the will of our community. Hopefully you will indeed discover as I have the great opportunity that lies in Xu for the excellent people of this city."


"It is certainly more than some would think they deserve."


"Let us get on to the details. While we have confirmation from the rulers in Xu that the land is ours to use, we still must ensure that the way between here and there is safe for the transportation of the settlers. Master Legonardo and the Tritech Corporation are seeing to the construction of new airships for the means of transportation however, because of their size they will not be able to reach the altitude of some of Vincent's more advanced dirigibles."

At this point the famous inventor's assistant enters the room.


"What he means to say, is with the possibility of hundreds of people on board we can't risk keeping them all up thousands of feet above the ground. We need to plot a course to Xu that is quick and relatively safe."


"Ah, Dr. Gioconda, right on time. Indeed, now looking at a map of Olegaia, we've charted the best route is over Pyr, through the Strait of Seirenes, past the southern border of Babeleth, across the Jade Sea and straight on to Xu."

"There's a colony of Sirens in that strait that we're going to need to deal with and then we're going to need to build a refueling station in either Salamanda or Babeleth."


"I'll leave that to you heroes to sort out. Once you're in Xu, make sure that the settlement is secure and hasn't been over-run by monsters or anything."

"We'll be taking the Destiny's Bounty, is there anything you heroes need before we depart?"

QM Note: Welcome aboard folks, I know there's a lot of exposition in this first post, but please ensure your stats are all correct and up to speed. The intention is a somewhat short quest, so hopefully we won't keep this thing dragging.

[samurai-turtle]

Just a few things. Is the smaller airship going to mimic the future airships flight path to check for air currents. And then for the refueling station are we going to have to find a natural fuel supply along with a place to put the station. And the last thing are you just expecting local wild beasts to be a problem and/or some sort of "organized" problem. 

OoC:

My stats look good to me. And I think I like sound of a short quest. 

 

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran goes down on one knee and bows towards Jun and his mother.

 "It's a pleasure serving the union again. Even though I voted in favour of the other proposition I still consider this to be an important undertaking. Now even though my father served as a weather mage in Salamanda at one point in his career I know little of air currents and the likes. I though know that logistics is a hard and complicated science, especially when put into practice. I will do my best anyhow!"

The symbiont smiles towards Jun and his mother with a serene look on his mouth.

Ezeran looks at the map and then ponders on the information given.

"Would a route across the northern parts of the Abra desert south of the strait be a better route? Maybe the weather conditions are more stable in de dry desert air? And then we could go over Kalma?"

Ezeran then nods a greeting towards the Demon Germ. "Nice to have competent company. Good to see you again."

 

OoC: Stats looks good, nice to be onboard!

Not knowing a lot of respect-traditions, Torald follows Ezerans lead and drops on one knee.

It's an honor to serve this noble house, Torald mumbles.

In answer to Ezerans suggestion to cross the desert, he says: Well, desert currents can be quite bad, with lots of turbulence. But, over the seas the currents are even worse. And the weather is more stable indeed in the desert, but you risk sandstorms.                                 I'd say, follow the original plans, and leave the desert at all. We have to cross a big sea, that's is going to be a challenge on it's own. 

 

OoC: the stats look correct. I'd love to change the Spear for the Spark Hammer, and the Fighting Boots for the Boots of Drunken Boxing.

"You are probably right my friend, we probably should stick to the plan."

Ezeran equips his Sapphamber staff.

Ezeran turns again to Jun and his mother. "Your highness, what do we know about these sirens?"

Ezeran, other guy I don't know. As he look at Torald. Competent? I don't know about that. I think it depends on who you ask. Some might just say I'M a "Hasbro". 

As for the route we are taking it looks like the most direct way. And if we just happen to crash, I would prefer it over the water, better chance of surviving (not like I want any of that happening). 

As he waited for the others to chime in. A thought here, what if the "people" you are transporting wants to settle some where else along the way. Would you just let them?

"Ah, but you seem very capable to me after our little field trip." The symbiont smiles at the black knight.

Turning towards the reknown inventor Ezeran bows. "Master inventor, can we know more of the specifications of our vessel? Are there any defence capabilities? Lifeboats or the like? "

Hello, I'm Torald Waruelf, barbarian with a drinking problem. You can call me Torald, mister ... ?

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke walks into the palace with his quest mates, but can't help but feel a bit incomplete.  Last time he saw his employer's faces in this setting he had a dragon with him, Torc.  They ahd spent much of their time flying alongside the airship instead of flying in it.

Oh how he did miss his draconic companion.  He hopes the work they are doing with the other dragons pays off.

Hoke greets Jun, his mother, and Legonardo.

"Good to see you all again, and glad to be flying alongside you again Master Legonardo.  Whatever route you select, I am sure is the best.  Any would seem to have it's on complications, so the shortest would be the best I believe.  We can blaze a trail so to speak if we must."

Stats look good, but need Hero's Cocktail x2

QM Note: For continuity purposes, I just realized that Legonardo is still in Xu, therefor his assistant, Dr. Monalisa Gioconda has been swapped in.

"Your friend brought up the point of the sandstorms, they'd reek havoc on our ether-tech. Thunderstorms and a bit of rain we can handle, but sand just gets everywhere and is a true pain to work out of the circuitry."

"There are reports circulating through the city that a ship carrying a few heroes, the Flouncy Phoenix, had a run in with the colony a few months back but were able to successfully repel them."

 
"I've ensured the Destiny's Bounty has been installed with the latest in sonic deterrence and interference systems, and we always have good old fashioned wax if we really need it."

"I've made some improvements to the Destiny's Bounty while Legonardo has been away in Xu. We've upgraded the Ether-cannons, installed sonic defenses as I mentioned, and have replaced the afterburner allowing for even higher maximum speeds.

"You've flown with the Destiny's Bounty before? I'd find it hard to believe a dragon could keep up, he must be a speedy one. And yes, the simplest route is often the best one."

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran bows towards Hoke.

"I don't know if we've met before? My name is Ezeran Yavarr nice to meet you! You might be wondering what that thing in my stomach is. It's a demonic symbiont."

The symbiont laughs heartily showering the floor in acid saliva.

The Sorcerer cringes a bit as he imagines the heights from an airship. "Well, it couldn't hurt I guess... Say, I'm a bit curious to know a thing. Me and Torald provided the Tri-Tech with some big bones from a big dinosaur a time ago. Would you happend to know if it ever came to use?"

Ezeran turns to Jun and his mother once more. "Excuse me for taking so much time asking questions but is there a plan for securing the refuelling station once it is built and we are on our way?"

The doctor removes her glasses and nervously cleans them.

"Ah well... Perhaps that's a matter we can discuss while we're up in the air."

"You will need to work out an arrangement with the presiding authorities. The Destiny's Bounty will be carrying the necessary equipment and supplies, along with a few automatons to begin construction. As for the diplomatic aspects, the last member of your party should be arriving shortly."

A knock on the door of the palace is heard and soon Umbra Shadeaux is ushered inside.


"Looks like you have already begun."


"We have just laid out the plan for the heroes."


"Magnifique, I assume we are already to be off zen?"

"Magnifique, I assume we are already to be off zen?"

Didn't you fly me (and afew others) to Dastan one time or am I thinking of someone else?

Didn't I meet you too at one point? I am ready just waiting of Mr. Dwarf here.

Hello, I'm Torald. Didn't miss much, just got introduced to the mission. Gonna fly with some airship. We also discussed that the shortest route is probably the best route. Not much else.

"Not much, but almost everything," Hoke says to the tardy dwarf as he turns to Lady Umbra ,"Madame, at your leave, let's be off. We can discuss further details aboard the airship."
