Kiray goes over to Portia and buys 4 potions, 4 venoms, and 3 fire bombs for 70 gold. She only has 6 gold left. (76-20-20-30=6 gold)

Kiray noticed the quest board and that she had been chosen for Quest 114. She recognized Actaeon, her party leader from her second quest, but the other two were unfamiliar. She saw that she was quest leader, gave a small smile and went to the Marketplace.

You could easily sell it in the market or to another character, or even save it for when you reach an advanced class to use it then.

The flames dance and crackle as the heroes turn away and head towards the sorcerer. Not even a half mile out, the party notices that now, all color is gone. Only black and white exist now, nothing else. Even the animals are made of the two colors. The group presses on though for three more hours, and it becomes impossible to tell what the time is. And then, past a clearing, the group sees a cave. Benji's magic compass is pointing directly to here. This must be the right place. The party heads inside and out from the darkness steps the one thing that has color though it's hard to tell due to his dark clothing. A brilliant red gem is held in one hand and a staff in the other. "Greetings, heroes," the sorcerer says in a rich, melodic voice. "By now you have heard of me. I am Calder Den, II, named for my father. From talking with you through the captain and hearing what you all have said, I know why you're here so how about we just skip that part?" Calder Den waves his staff and rocks come up behind him and quickly form into a chair which he seats himself in. He motions with his staff again, but this time behind the heroes the rocks come up. They too form chairs. Four, to be exact. He motions for the party to sit with him. "The past years have been a... troubling time for me" the sorcerer continues. "My son was taken from me twelve years ago after my father exiled me from our home. I caught my father beating a woman he found on the streets in our house. He enjoyed seeing the different colors on her body he made. He did the same to animals before and people of other races, not just humans or elves, too. But when I saw him with that woman, I lost it. So I started using my magic to make the colors on her disappear. The black and blue marks, the red blood, everything went away. But he caught me, exiled me, and took my young son Charlie from me." The sorcerer leaned back in his chair for a few quiet moments. "I fled here," he softly spoke. "Nobody was here, just animals and the forest and nature. It allowed me to practice my magic and think, think of how to get my son back. Yet my thoughts were interrupted about three years ago. My peaceful life was disturbed. The people of Tridentia came. Now I had no quarrels with people coming to live in a place like this. I had done the same, you see. I did have a problem with them taking from the land like they did, completely ruining it. Destroying it. The things they did, taking the berries, my new home, destroying the forest to grow their orchards and town. I was fine with them when they stayed in their town and I was far off from them, but no they kept expanding. You went to all of those places, I know you did. "The Tridentians are immoral and sinners. They have been taking without giving. I see much here, on this island, I've seen that thug beat the prostitute and her son multiple times, many before you got here. And don't get me started with the old man as well. The woman who runs the store does not respect the animals of the island at all; she skins them quite cruelly. The tailor, a conniving, thieving fiend. He stole many things before coming to Tridentia. This is a town built on corruption, greed and criminals. And it's not just them who you met, it's many of the others as well."

The bones are there, they're the very very last in your inventory in the small size.

He weakly turns to Benji. "You d... don't need that." He points to the compass. "I could feel... the sorce...erer's spirit pulling on me. He's somewhere... to the west." He coughs again. "I never went there, he tried... to pull us there. I don't know where... he is... but he's there." Captain Terrence's eyes drift over to Vindsval. "Please... say some... words?" Terrence's eyes glaze over. He's gone. Benji's compass orients itself, pointing west, exactly like the now deceased Tridentia captain said. There's a small wrought iron fence, easily able to jump over followed by bushes and trees, ones that look much easier to pass through then the ones at the orchard did. What shall the party do?

But if one looks closely, they could see his mouth was moving just barely, trying to form words, his voice so soft and weak one couldn't hear it even if one was kneeling.

I know, but I prefer giving you guys options if you wanted to use items or adjust your rows or weapons.

Vindsval swings with what could be a critical hit with the power he put behind it, but misses. Benji swaps his bow for his crossbow, loads the bolt and fires at the Rotting Horse. The bolt flies through the creature, instantly killing it and Benji grabs 87 gold. Benji’s kill now lets the other two hit their targets. Bobby stabs at the what-once-was-a-man they met and hits his arm with a deft stab. Miderun follows up with a critical hit on the Evil Monk. The club she wields causes massive injury.

Running the round right now, 110ers, sorry for the delay. It's been a hectic two days.

Terrence steps back as Vindsval approaches. The large cleric calls upon the Wanderer to heal this blighted man. As Vindsval works to heal the captain, the captain's skin pulses more; it looks as if something is moving under his skin, crawling. The color maybe? Yet it goes, Terrence Lester screams in pain as whoever-or whatever-is causing his affliction fights Vindsval for control of the man. Then, a blast. Vindsval flies back while Terrence stays in place. Terrence's skin stops pulsing, and this time, it's stuck on the ugly gray hue. "I told you that he is mine," Terrence's voice moves, but the darker voice says. The captain's voice is gone completely. "You could have run and fled and left me to carry out my will on my island." The possessed body of Captain Terrence Lester raises the halberd. "But you refused, and now you shall be mine."

"Lord Den, I know not who he is," the captain struggles to say, "but I know what and where. He's some sorcerer who lives in the forest past here. I only know because he speaks to me." Pulse. "I am his follow-" Pulse. "Deep in.. there.. He's angry... ab..out...something." Pulse. Pulse. "You have... to stop-" Pulse. A darker voice joins in sync with Terrence's own. "I do not parlay. Few of these men are dead. They are mine. Disheartened, discolored and disfigured. They have given-" Pulse! "Gah! Stop! Please make it stop," Terrence's sole voice shouts. "I'm not dead, not yet. He's causing the dead to rise and the living to fall apart, like what happened to me, and my buddy Mikey back there. Mikey and I were laying our friend-" Pulse. Pulse. "... to rest, and his eyes opened as pure black and the color drained, and then it happened to Mikey... while he was alive." Pulse. "Tridentia is mine, Heroes."

"Heroica?" the figure questioned, his voice seeming to pulse and change just like his skin. "From the Free Islands? My what a far way off." The figure coughed and his skin pulsed to more glowing color. "Who sent you? We certainly-" pulse. His skin grows grayer once more, and his voice changes again. "If you think I am the one who caused this blight, you are fools. I have no power to change the colors." Pulse. A more human color. "Please, help us. I, I am, Captain Terrence Lester of the Triden-" Pulse. "-tia Town Guard." Pulse. "You are trespassing on the lands of Lord Den. Turn back now o-" Pulse. "Don't listen, stop, whoever... this is." Pulse.

Kiray offerd her hand as well. "Kiray, well met. We could sure use another person, one who's skillset is more varied than ours."

Here, after seeing how dark the edge of the orchard was becoming, the more saturated colors-what was left at least-was a welcome sight. They reached the crossroads and continued north to the cemetery. When they reached the burial grounds, the Heroes pushed open the gates and entered. Some of the graves had been dug open. Then, off to the side, they heard footsteps, heavy, metal footsteps. Then even more, a few clop-clops and more muffled, shuffling sounds.The party looked to the left to see a figure walking from a rotting horse towards them. He carried a large halberd and his face was all bone, but his hands and ripped parts of his clothes showed grayish skin. The skin seemed to pulse, as if it was trying to change color, or rather stay one color. "Speak," the armored creature commanded. "I don't take kindly to those who hesitate, and I am curious what would bring strangers so far out here." His skin pulsed to a darker gray, and he leaned forward with his halberd, but then his skin pulsed again, flashing to a more human skin color.
