Heroica RPG - Training Room

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran steps into the training room his eyes scanning the room as a deep laughter of demonical joy spreads through the room. The symbiont is ecstatic. Ezeran looks grim but determined. "You do understand that it will take time don't you?" He looks towards the symbiont in his chest. "I know my friend, the time will come but we must have patience. I fear it won't protect us forever so we need to be prepared. This city needs to be prepared, but it's to early for that now..."

Sensing the Copper Fox entering the room Ezeran straightens up and smiles.

"Fate is beckoning, and fair play won't be part of it. I need new strategies and tricks to make sure this realm is secure. I need to become a sorcerer!"

After the training was finished the symbiont sported an even more vicious smile than before. The avatars of tricksters bear many names, this one being Ezeran Yavarr the sorcerer.

[Flipz]

In a private room of Castle Bric'bay, an ex-Dragoon and an ex-Engineer chat as old friends.

"...Not sure what ta tell ya, Regulus--er, Arthur." Count Knyghton shakes his head in mild chagrin. "Forgive me, old friend, I'm jus' not used ta tha new name ya got fer yourself. Ya'll always be Arthur Regulus around here, I'm afraid."

Arthur waves off the misnaming.

"It's fine, Lewis. You're one of my closest friends, you can call me what you like."

"Well, thank ya fer tha thought. But as far as everythin' else...I'm not sure what ta tell ya. Ya've led a much diff'rent life than I have, an' I think ya've passed tha point where my experience has any useful advice pertainin' to ya. I'm not really sure why ya came ta me fer yer advice, ta be frank."

Arthur shrugs noncommittally.

"Saner minds, really. You and Luke have always been a lot more grounded than me, or even most of my friends for that matter. Plus, you're independent--you're not caught up in the whole game of thrones playing out in Eubric right now. Just about everyone else I could talk to has at least some significant share in that situation, and I'm not looking for a political answer--just a personal one."

Knyghton frowns slightly, nodding sympathetically at Arthur's complaints.

"I'd heard about tha', actually. Tha Hinckwells've been pushin' fer us ta join tha Sungold Alliance, but then so've tha Shadeaux, so I decided it'd be best fer us ta stay out of it fer now. Funnily enough, they've both name-dropped ya, actually, but tha's beside tha point." The Lion Knight leader sighs, contemplating Arthur's problem. "I s'pose ya could try ta talk ta Luke about your problem, since he was hit pretty hard by Sir Leonard's death, but tha's not really tha same, is it?"

Arthur shakes his head.

"No it's not--or at least, I dearly hope it's not, for Miirym's sake. I feel a lot better knowing Glaz is looking out for her, but..." The ex-Dragoon shrugs helplessly--the matter, for now, is out of his hands.

"Then I'm afraid tha most I can offer ya is a quiet spot ta relax an' train. I'm sure Leofard would be happy ta have someone else with experience ta help drill tha troops--Sir Rubinstein is gettin' on in years, after all."

Arthur at last smiles.

"I'd like that."

A note was pined up on the wall it said...

[JimBee]

Jinnipher strode into the training room with her usual sense of pride. Actually, it was less controlled than usual and appeared a bit like a stumble. The Moon Elf had clearly had a few.

The Copper Fox was readjusting some training dummies and turned to greet her.

"Aha, Jinnipher Buchaire. I had a feeling you would return some day. Have you come to try your hand at Mystic Knight? Or perhaps Paladin? Surely you have plenty of magical potential. The wizard priests of Mercution were no joke."

"Enough of the pleasantries, Fox. I've had it with you veterans and your games. Were you hiding in here when the city was being torn to shreds by the old lizard's storm? Even Cain can't be bothered to hire competent heroes for such a job."

"Now listen, that is not exactly the role of the-"

Before he could finish Jinnipher was already charging with her Brine Blade. She was fast but the Copper Fox was faster. She took a stab which he easily dodged. He quickly followed up by grabbing her sword wrist and twisting it behind her back. The blade fell to the floor with a clang and Jinnipher was disarmed.

"It may help you if you put your anger to better use, especially since it seems diplomacy is not your strong suit. Black Knights can be very intimidating you know."

Jinnipher grunted. "Shut up."

She twisted back around with all her strength and bashed her shield into the Fox's face. He stumbled back a step and wiped his bleeding mouth with the back of his hand.

"Well you clearly don't have the finesse of a Warden. But you are quick and strong with both shield and sword. Perhaps..."

The Copper Fox somersaulted and swept his leg under the elf, the move catching her by surprise and forcing her to land on her back. The Fox pounced, but she held her shield strong and threw him off. He landed on his feet lightly.

"Berserker it is then. Let's see what I can teach you."

Jinnipher rose to her feet, winded from the encounter already.

"I came here to find out. Let's see if you've still got it, old man."

The pair dueled for some time until the alcohol finally took its toll on the elf and she collapsed from exhaustion. A few more days of training (and a wardrobe change) earned her the job class of Berserker.

Heckz enters the training room with only one thing in his mind.

He approaches the Copper Fox, who was perfectly happy until the sorcerer came in.

"I've bided my time and I've got the proper qualifications. Now I can't wait any longer."

He brings out the pink book.

"I need to learn the secrets of this book and master the power within it. Now, when do I start?"

The Copper Fox abruptly takes the book from Heckz and mutters something along the lines of 'don't get payed enough'.

After a long time spent on perfectioning Heckz's horrible seduction skills and forgetting his magical ones in return, it was time to pick an equally enticing outfit. He comes out of the fitting room with one of the best reasons for the Copper Fox to quit after having seen so much.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know... it needs a little mor-"

"More this?" He tears his own pants off.

"... please tell me you have more of those."

"Don't worry I've got plenty of replacements."

Heckz walks out the training room a Harlot.

Not 100 procent completed, will finish it later.

A battle ravaged Keliim and his direwolf Fenri walks into the training room. He looks around the room, at all the gadgets and training equipment. Fenri strolls away and searches for some place to lie down.

"So th's be th' famous training room o' Heroica... hmm wonderin' if anyone is in h're." The big man shouts out, " 'ello, somebody h're."

Copperfox walks out from the backroom

"Yes, hello... didn´t hear you come in. I am Copperfox and you are..." He see the fullgrown direwolf sleeping in corner of the room, he pulls his sword.

"What is that doing here, who let it inside..."

"Oh, calm down please. It is just Fenri, my pet direwolf and he is totally harmless... usually."

"Aaah, so you are the barbarian with the wolf... hmm was it Keliim. Oh well but the beast has to go out, it has no place inside my training room."

"I am nay Barbarian, I am warrior... Not every other fighter is a stupid barbarian, that isn´t a "holymoly knight"... others can fight, ye know also."

"And Fenri, he won´t be in the way, I promise..."

"Hmph, but if he makes just one sound... he is out of here. So, lets get down to business... what can I do for you, Keliim?"

"Master fox, I wish to finish my training to become a Hunter."

Copperfox looks at the big man and sigh

"Hunter... finish training? What do you mean?"

"And wouldn´t a barbarian... hmm, Warrior be more fitting as something like Beserker?"

Keliim tells a story.... (will be updated later.)

"Okay then Keelron but this won´t be easy... you have everything you need to finish the training?"

"Aye... almost."

"Okay, Then lets start!"

Time pass and Keliim brushes up on his ranger and tracking skills. Copperfox, gives many great tips and shows the fighter ways of, moving and being more like a shadow.

"This is all I can teach you at this time... Now you just need to use your skills in action." Copperfox looks at Keliim.  "Hmm, cloths, light armor, fitting for your jobclass but you seem to be missing a cruical thing... a bow or maybe in your case, a crossbow?"

"Aye I know. They ain´t easy tae come by... but I will get one, sooner or later? Thank you Master Fox."

And the rediscovered "Demon" Hunter and his direwolf walk out of the training room.

[Asphalt]

Vindsval walks into the training hall to speak with its master the Copper Fox.

I have reached another crossroads, and I believe I have made a decision as to my new Path.

He pulls the Wanderer's Medallion from his pouch, places it on his brad palm, and looks at the glyphs, symbols, and sigils carved into its surface.   Show me your will.

Light from the windows seems to catch and pool on the medallion's surface.  It pulls the separate beams together into a single strong lance of light. The tint of the light begins to shift from the golden glow of noon day, to the deep crimson of sunset, to the dark violet of nightfall.  The purple light pools on the suface of the seal, gathers depth, thickness, almost solidity, and they it burst forth.  The beem strikes Vindsval full in the face, blinding him, knocking him to his knees on the training room floor.  Moments that seem an eternity pass in silence and light and then he speaks.

Yes Lord, I will kill in your name.  I will strike down those who prey on the weak.  I will protect those who have not yet been given the choice of paths.  I will be your blade on this earth.

Suddenly the light blinks out, the room once again takes on the normal hues of day.  The giant stands, a harder, sharper glint in his eyes.  He is no longer a mere Paladin, No long only the scorpion knight.  He stands a Vindicator, Honed Blade of the Wanderer.

Cedric, after returning from the Fields of Glory, walks straight to the Training Room.

"Copper Fox, I've come to train as a black knight."

"Really? You? That seems like such an odd choice."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, not to sound like I know you better than you know you, but you seemed like such a nice guy from the quest logs."

"Nice guy?! How the Hel do you think that?"

"They say you freed slaves, killed bandits, vanquished undead, and helped a poor farmer clear his farm of monsters. That sounds pretty kind and heroic to me."

"...Well, to quote the great Pharpharian philosopher, 'Phuck.' So I've really been doing good?"

"Yep."

""So what do I train as now?"

"Do you follow a god?"

Cedric laughs. "Fox, you may know my Heroica history, but you know nothing of what I have done before. No God will accept me."

"Tell me, have you heard of the righteous light Ennoc?"

 

Cedric walks out of the training room a Paladin of Ennoc.
