Heroica RPG - Tidings of Comfort and All That Sh*t

[Tachyon]

Dear Mizuki,

How have you been? It was a pleasure questing together with you in the Commerz Vault and then curing the Dragon in Dastan. Not sure if in the future you are planning on taking up the training of the winged peoples, but in case you are interested, let me offer you this Rito Feather (grants the hastened- and blessed-effects when consumed). In any case it should be a useful item for an assassin such as yourself.

--Monk Pretzel.

Dear Monk Pretzal

Its been fine in Eubric, just waiting for the next quest to come up. I saw you leave for the fields. Have a fun time hunting. It truly was fun to quest with you. Poor Daxus.......Some people told me that, we didn't actually end up slaying the Death Progg. By the way, a werewolf hero has Combrys, maybe you can find him. Oh by the way, you should have your Magic Viper Skin back. In the spirit of Grogmas, take a Holy Bomb and a Potion.May the odds ever be in your favor.

~Mizuki

Dear Retraga the Dragon

Sorry for my party looting your treasure horde. Hope that you can one day, forgive us. I know that it is not much, but let me begin paying you back. Take this Gold Locket. Hope you have a better recovery and may the odds ever be in your favor

~Mizuki

Dear Erik

How have you been. Its been so long since I've last seen you. Questing with you was really fun. By the way, do you remember our quest in the Commerz Vault ? You remember how we fought the Death Progg and how Daxus died right ? Well apparently we didn't actually kill the Death Progg. Another group from Heroica, had to slay him. Anyway, there's this werewolf who now owns Combrys. Anyway, in the spirit of Grogmas, take this Remedy and this Potion. May the odds ever be in your favor.

~Mizuki

To Mr Maginstra.

How are you going with the council ? Glad that the Darkstar is no longer a threat. Anyway, I've got some strange drink that I thought you might want. In the spirit of Grogmas, take this Trial Brew. May the odds ever be in your favor.

Karie sits down in the hall, a few pieces of paper lying about, her items lying about. She sorts through some of them, thinking of who to give them to.

"Dear Olivia Scelin,

How are things are well with you and your father, as well as your uncle? It seems as if we've been crammed together a lot, but haven't learned anything about you really. I also want to know how your training going? If Masson's going to hard on you, let me know. I could probably do something about it! I don't want to see you getting hurt out there, so I'm sending you a potion, a remedy, and a smoke bomb. Be careful with the smoke bomb! The last thing I want is a letter from your father berating me for sending you this stuff. Finally, I wanted to wish you a happy holidays! Hopefully I'll see you in the New Year.

Have a Happy Holidays, Karie Alderflask"

Karie sends of the Z-Mail, stuffed to the brim with various practical goods.

Dear Punii

Thanks for your help in the vault. How are you going with the explosives ? Sorry we didn't end up killing the Death Progg. Anyway maybe, these can help may help you one day. Take this Fire Bomb and Holy Bomb. May the odds ever be in your favor

~Mizuki

Dear Hiln

How are you going ? Haven't seen you since we defeated Haroka. Anyway, in the spirit of Grogmas, I'd like you to take this wooden shield(SP 4). Maybe you might end up using it one day ? May the odds ever be in your favor.

~Mizuki

Dear Ivanova

How are you going ? Have you got any further in finding the other girls yet ? Anyway, if you ever are in a time of need, use this Rito Feather. Maybe it'll save your life one day. May the odds ever be in your favor.

As Karie sent the letter off, she pondered about what she was doing. It hadn't left her. Maxwell confirmed she was adopted, but she needed more answers.

"Ulric Wolfkin,

I send this letter not out of a desire to assist your organization, but out of a desire to get answers.

Violetta. Did she leave anything? A personal diary, old pictures, anything? I only recently learned after her death that I am her younger sister, and that we were separated at a young age. It's hard to prove in letter form, I know, but I am. If I have to, I'll meet you to prove it. All I want are answers, and a diary or anything would help me. To give a little incentive, I'll pass this Lover's Locket your way. Do with it what you will, but don't take it as a sign of a blossoming relationship. If you'd do this for me, I might gain some respect for you, as everyone I can think of writes you off as some monster. I'd appreciate it, at least.

Karie Alderflask-Rayltyn"

She felt awkward writing to the man who had apparently made her sister a bed cozy, but she had to try.

[Professor Flitwick]

Thothwick sat, staring at the paper for some time, trying to find the right phrase, when inspiration hit him.

Dear Baba,

I hope to see you soon. Meanwhile, have one on me.

-Thothwick

Thothwick attached his last vial of vemon, and sent the letter on it's way.

[-obelix-]

Dear Thalion,

we see each other briefly in the Hall before my departure; I hope all is going well. As a part of my appreciation for your work in our adventures and for our friendship, I'd like to give you this Mead. See you back in the Hall.

Alexander Vandangant

After receiving the hefty mail, Thalion smiled and started writing a reply:

Dear Alexander,

I hope this letter will find you in good health, as it is true we saw each other only briefly before you departed to the Fields. I will use this chance to say that all is well here and to thank you for your gift. As a token of my appreciation for your continued friendship please accept these items, which will hopefully help you in the Fields of Glory: a Nostrum and a Smelling Salts. Marry Grogmas and see you back in the Hall.

Thalion Dwinlas

After finishing it, he took a piece of paper started writing:

Mighty Smaragdea and Dragonlord,

I was very sorry when I heard you were unhappy about your hoard, and I hope Dragonlord sent you my greetings!? I would like to use this opportunity to send you something more tangible this time to help you fill your hoard; while it is not gold, I think it might find place by your side, since it is a magical jewelry, albeit minor, - the Snake Eye Charm. And for the stalwart Dragonlord a Health Core, to help him in his time of need. Hopefully next time we see each other you will be lying on a mountain of gold and, Dragonlord, I hope you will be less troubled. Merry Grogmas and regards from the elven sorcerer

Guts smirked as he saw what he had received from the Masked Man. And kept writing.

"Adressed to Smaragdea,

I recently found something you might like, I hope it makes a fine addition to your hoard.

Written by Guts Holla, member of Heroica, Captain of the Wind Thief."

Guts attaches Chauncy's Diamond Lamp of Summoning (Summons ????), and sends the letter away.

After the first two letters Alexander writes a new one.

Hi Sarge,

How are you? It's all ok? In Grogmas style, I'd like to give you a Venom, as a token of friendship, hope you like it.

Alexander Vandangant

[Flare]

Benji decides to send another letter, after receiving an encouraging response to his first one. These things do seem to work, eh.

In his letter to Ulric Wolfkin he writes:

"To Ulric. From Carvenhall, a follower from within Heroica.

It has not been long since I was against the group which is called the Wolfgang. That opinion has clearly changed, as I hope you can recognize, and even now I fight proudly as a "freak of nature" - a reptilian beast warrior. You are a man of great strength and power, and I admire that. Some might consider me a traitor by admiring you, but this does not stop me.

What I wonder, however, is why you are still hiding. Despite the outstanding level of reputation that I have acquired among your group, I have not once seen you face to face... in addition to this, I am doubtful to the wisdom of employing the wicked witch Baba. She is of a power that no mortal can control, so in this I want to warn you - although I am sure you are more aware of the situation than I, or any other man living in Eubric.

To sum this letter up, I want to include a pitiful tribute for you, sir. Included is a health core, a grand potion, a potion, a remedy, and a mead. Much strength and power to the wolves!

Benji Carvenhall"

OOC: Zakura, you need to only write one letter per post! So far you've written like 7 or so in two posts...

"Adressed to Sküld,

Merry Grogmas. Hope you and your mother are doing fine, and that this Magic Compass serves you well.

From Guts Holla."

[Cutcobra]

Heckz opened the letters adressed to him and started writing more.

Dear Fabian

Remember me, the only beautiful guy who helped you get your Jester Hat back? I still don't know why you keep, I don't think it's quite fashionable, and you seem like the guy who knows fashion. Anyways, just wanted to tell you your products are amazing. So here's a Smelling Salt so you can work twice as fast and we get twice as beautiful clothes and you get twice as gold in gainings.

Kiss kiss, Heckz Brutenhal.

EDIT: Took out the Eldricht family letter so Sandy can keep track of all leters.

To Merlin and Morgan Ziegfried.

Greetings young Merlin! I hope you are doing well and that your studies are progressing nicely. And greetings to you as well young Morgan; I take it you still look after your brother and progress in your magical studies too!? This Potion and Tonic are for you and your brother. Merry Grogmas to you and your entire family.

Sincerely,

Thalion Dwinlas

[Wedge09]

Greetings Åsa Nifelheimr! We saw eachother a little while ago, I hope all is going well; for this Grogmas I'd like to give you a potion, hoping to help you and our tribe.

Sincerely,

[joeshmoe554]

To Portia,

I recently came across this vial of Volatile Venom and thought you might be interested in it. Perhaps, you can unlock its secrets and improve the effectiveness or variety of your merchandise. As it is the season, it would seem only right to also wish you a Merry Grogmas.

Sincerely,

Jeaux

[Dragonfire]

Dear Scheherazade,

Thank you for all that you have done for the organisation of Heroica and its members. Please accept this Air Bomb in case you encounter any threats to the safety of Heroica. Merry Grogmas!

To Samuel Shawe

Sorry, I accidentally addressed that letter to the wrong person, as for blackmail, I had no such intentions, I might demand satisfaction, but this is Grogmas. I may say that I have never heard of you before in my life, and do not wish to. please burn the first letter.

Minimum good wishes,

Charles Augustus Milverton.

Master Maurice Ratibor,

It was a pleasure working with you and curing the dragon, Retraga together. I pray to God that all is well with you and that Ennoc's face and holy light shines down on you. May his blessings be ever with you and as a reminder of that allow me to present to you this Soma, "the blessed drink." May it remind you, as you down it, of the righteous and holy light. May the order remain strong.

--Monk Pretzel

Dear Monk Pretzel.

Thank you sir, you are correct, Copper Fox has taught me to be a Shaman. That has occupied a large portion of my time.

I'm sure your gift will be very useful. Please accept this Grand Potion. It's unlikely you will need it, with your healing and defensive skills, but you might find a use for it.

Merry Grogmas

Erik Tyrvarr

Erik,

Many thanks! I shall use it well, if not for myself than perhaps to bless another life. May God's mercy smile down on you. Are you out on a quest at present?

--Monk Pretzel

Dear Monk Pretzal

Poor Daxus.......Some people told me that, we didn't actually end up slaying the Death Progg. By the way, a werewolf hero has Combrys, maybe you can find him.

~Mizuki

Mizuki,

Many thanks. It is good to hear from you. You are too kind returning this Magic Viper Skin to me. You really shouldn't have. I had heard about the Death Progg not having been killed by our hands. I have a hard time believing it myself. I must inform you that I'm at present in the fields with the wolfy fellow and he is wielding a sword that struck me as being familiar. I would never have guessed that it was Combrys. Are you quite sure about that? I tried to pry Combrys away from the Death Progg, but it wouldn't budge. What an odd twist of fate. I shall ask him about it and where he found it. May you receive as bountifully as you give out in this festive season. I wish you well!

--Monk Pretzel

[Palathadric]

Toothy Demon,

What a pleasure it is that this letter system has provided me with a medium of transporting some valuable gifts. Enclosed is an item I would strongly advise you striking yourself on the head with a few times. Maybe you can chew it to your satisfaction first. I hope that staves you off from emptying the blood out of any of your victims, at least for a while.

--Your Party Leader and Slayer, Monk Pretzel

When Dreyrugr opens the letter, he finds a bone inside.

[Flare]

Benji sends a short letter to Mizuki. He includes inside a health core, a grand potion, and a potion.

"Mizuki -

I do not know you well personally but I must say this - you give, give, give and do not receive. You are most generous even when Grogmas is miles away.

To your health!

Dear Benji

Why, thank you for your gift. I seem to remember questing with you during a job in Eubric. You were the one who took down Mephisto in the end right ? Anyway, in the spirit of Grogmas, I'd like you to have a mead, smelling salts and a nostrum. May the odds ever be in your favor.

~Mizuki

[Jebediahs]

OoC: Haha, I really like those pumps and considered finding a way to use them with a gender swap mask or something but they are a better gift to send than what I had originally planned to use.

Thankful to be blessed with perfect item to gift, Nur wrote next to Little Jane, The Twin Mountains.

Dearest Jane,

I have been smitten with you ever since you

smashed in my face

. Your impressive strength is surpassed only by your intense beauty. My apologies for leaving you so abruptly after our encounter but my companions and I had a task to complete.

Do not fear, for I have been keeping your quarterstaff in fine condition. Know that it has been instrumental in defeating titans. I know not where you and your group are currently but still, a dainty women such as yourself should be outfitted in the finest footwear available.

I had these custom made with you in mind so I hope they fit you comfortably and make you the envy of the rest of your Merry Band of Women.

Attached: Pink Pumps (+2 power, permanent transcended-effect; suitable to women; footwear)

Dear Sorrow

Its been a while since we last quested together. Last time was the escort service we provided to the Shadeaux, right ? Anyway, I've heard your lucky with getting ether cores. Maybe you should try the other kind of cores. In the spirit of Grogmas, take this Health Core. May the odds ever be in your favor.

~Mizuki

Tried to make these two separate posts, but they posted together. Sorry Sandy!
