Heroica RPG- Quest #78: As Thick As Thieves

[Emjajoas]

Em hands the potion to Grimwald.

"Anyone want the Whiskey?" he asks. "I don't need it."

[Kintobor]

EDIT: The effect of the Fireball Whiskey has been edited.

[Endgame]

I look down on the lietunants bruised corpse. he had more bark then bite, that was for sure... but his parting words were ominous nonetheless. What was going on here?

"I'd just like a slice of the gold, if you don't mind."

[Jedi master Brick]

"I don't mind what I get, I am ready to move on when everyone else is"

[Emjajoas]

Em hands ten gold to Sorrow and hands the Whiskey and five gold to Elgar. He then tosses five gold to Grimwald.

"Big talk for a small grunt," Em mutters, looking down at the body. "Some sort of conspiracy?"

QM Note: I'll be leaving shortly for the next two days, and will return tomorrow afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience!

[Emjajoas]

"Hm," Em replies, ready to proceed deeper.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: We now return to your regularly scheduled program! As well, Em, you still need to distribute the Quality Cutlass.

The party, cautious after the lieutenants dying words, make their way forward, finding the staircase leading out of the sewers, his words lingering in their minds. Going up the staircase, they make it into the dimly lit prison's hallways without anyone waiting for them. It appeared their presence wasn't known of yet. As they make their way through the first floor corridor, the party comes to a decision. Not knowing where they are in regards of the prison or the potential location of Costello, the party must decide whether to go left, right, or straight.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Before coming to a decision, Grimwald inspects the suspicious-looking sticky-out piece of stone above the chair.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar looks in the chest to see if he can find anything

"We should try and find a map or something."

[Kintobor]

Before coming to a decision, Grimwald inspects the suspicious-looking sticky-out piece of stone above the chair.

Fidgeting with the stone, Grimwald doesn't manage to find anything. It simply appears to be part of the prison's architecture.

Elgar looks in the chest to see if he can find anything

"We should try and find a map or something."

Elgar lifts open the chest's lid. The lack of dust suggests the chest hasn't been here for very long. Inside, Elgar finds various tools for mining and excavating.

[Emjajoas]

"What did you find?" Em asks, looking down the three paths. He pockets the cutlass.

[Endgame]

I examine the gold saucer.

"Shame none of us have a magnifying glass, or we could inspect for traps... Any in that chest you opened, Grimwald?

[Kintobor]

Sorrow picks up the gold saucer from beside the chest. Decorated on the plate is an eagle in front of a sun. It's clearly in excellent condition condition, the gold glistening off the limited light in the corridor.

[Emjajoas]

"I say we go straight, unless someone else has any better ideas. Rather not get all turned around and lost."

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Agreed."

[Endgame]

"I'll follow."

[Jedi master Brick]

"Since all options seem the same I will follow"

OOC: I go on holiday tomorrow. I should be able to get a reliable internet connections so I can check twice a day at least.

[Emjajoas]

I equip my Anniversary Medal (Artefact/Accessory) (Power +2, SP +2, Max. Health +2, Max. Ether +2. The values will increase by 1 with each passing year) due to the power of Z-mail.

[Endgame]

"Ah, come to think of it, I should have a health core..."

I pat myself down, looking for the won item.
