Waterbrick Down Posted January 2, 2018 Former members of Heroica, walk down the streets of Eubric, their once illustrious hall now barred to them. Slowly a group begins to gather at the Lady Luck's Locale within the Hovels. Trovsty the Ogre bouncer greets each of them, relieving them of their weapons as they enter. "Now don't you go causin' any trouble in there." The atmosphere is seedy, but inclusive. The drinks, while not free are cheap enough to not worry the gold pouch. Some of the patrons sneer as the heroes filter in. "Well, well, well, look at that dour lot. Oh how the mighty have fallen!" The patron of the establishment chides the man. "Now, now, Natnail. Leave the dearies be, as long as they're a paying lot they can stay as long as they wish." The Party: ??? QM Note: Welcome to Quest 159 folks, this will be a little abnormal in terms of quest structure and more free form. Once we've got enough of a quorum in here we'll kick things off proper. Until then feel free to chat and interact with whomever you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even looking at the orge, Hoke hands over his pack, but the orb remains hidden within his glove. 1 hour ago, Waterbrick Down said: The atmosphere is seedy, but inclusive. The drinks, while not free are cheap enough to not worry the gold pouch. Some of the patrons sneer as the heroes filter in. He stepped in past the orge and took a good long look around. He hated it. The sight, the smell, the sounds. Everything. What a dump. 1 hour ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Well, well, well, look at that dour lot. Oh how the mighty have fallen!" Hoke gives Natnail a passing glance as unimpressed with him as he was before. He makes his way to the side, out of the way, finding a seat barely clean enough to sit on, waiting for other Heroicans to show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KotZ Posted January 2, 2018 Kiray hands her weapons over to the bouncer and says with a snarl, "Don't break anything." She finds Hoke and moves over to him, preferring to not sit on any of the chairs. "They didn't have to kick us out of the Hall. And of all the places we could have met up, we go here?"

Probably the only reason even going into the "bar" was to get out of the cold weather (for some reason it was starting to bother him). As he got closer to the bouncer Germ notice him collecting "weapons". At this point Germ took his whip (Flying Talon) and wrapped it around his waist trying to make it look like a belt. As he handed the bouncer practically everything he was not wearing. Wouldn't it be easier to put this stuff in a box? I would hate to think you might mess up, getting everyone's stuff back to them.

K-Nut Posted January 3, 2018 A middle aged man looks up from his table, clearly only halfway invested in the situation that had presented itself. He sees a man that looks awfully like a paragon he had once known. He scoffs as he sees the parade of "heroes" following in tow. "Goddammit Ablesword..." Althior says, half intoxicated.

Torald, I hope you haven't finished all the drinks at the hall that you have to come here." Torald looks at the young knight. Hello there. He embraces Petaldan I'll be blunt. Heroica has been disbanded, sadly. All of us got kicked out of the Hall. So, the remaining "heroes" are gathering at a bar. I'm sure they have something to drink for you in here. Just got to hand in your equipment for some reason. But, how have you been? You were on a quest with Ezeran, right? I haven't seen him yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterbrick Down Posted January 3, 2018 A small girl enters the bar, holding a tiny strip of living fabric. "Are you sure about this?" "Of course I'm sure. This lot at least beats the snobbish wizard poking through my stacks back at the hall." The Nôrn eyes widen and she smiles broadly when she spots two of the heroes. "Petaldan, Torald! I can't believe you're here!" "Just set me down at the bar, I'll find my way."Sküld Verdandi sets the Dauntlet Bookmark down at the bar as she turns back to her friends. The Dauntlet wraps itself around a wine bottle soaking in the alcoholic atmosphere that permeates the establishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Well, by the looks of things, there will be no civil war. The Houses, as I understand it, have been disbanded. And so has Heroica. Turns out Copper Fox was actually a Wolf this whole time, and a few of the Founders have closed down the Hall. I am assuming their are about to clean out their own house. And somehow we are here..." Hoke leans forward in his newfound seat and peers over into Althior's drink, trying to discern if it was clean enough to order one. "The Lotus you say? It's been awhile since I've been there. I wonder if my 'friend' is still there," he says as he remembers the 3 keys that were once in his pouch. Edited January 3, 2018 by UsernameMDM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
