"I'll just...um...clean up this mess. Nice working with you, heroes. Good work."

Pimky takes the Black Pearl and analyses it carefully for a few moments, before handing it back to Kellim. "Yes, yes! This is certainly it. Stolen from our farm. No less! This is what Bonaparte requires. Give it to him and you can be assured of the success of your mission."

"From what I've seen, dragons rarely need to be slain. They are usually reasonable beings, more reasonable than humans even. If a dragon is mad, it usually has a reason for it."

"A pearl? Yes, indeed, that sounds like it has promise. Let me see it." Kellim finds nothing of particular note.

"Ha, ha! So true!"

"I wouldn't worry so much about that if I were you. So long as we finish the work here and get on with it. Bonaparte will sort out what he needs to sort out. In fact, you can leave the work of cleaning up here afterwards to me. But as far as the item we're looking for is concerned are you sure you haven't looted something from their bodies already?"

The piggie pauses for a moment, hesitating. Then lowers his voice. "Perhaps a better thing to ask would be, what do you know of them? I know them...to be robbers and vagabonds, but that's about it. And they have certainly committed grave offenses against animals of all kinds."

The box indeed does seem to hold nothing more than foodstuffs. "It's not in there. They must have had it on their bodies. Did you take anything from them already?"

Pretzel looks at the notice for Quest #148. It is tempting to learn the art of being a scholar. It certainly was something befitting his role of a priest. Pausing for just a moment, Pretzel signs up for Quest #148.

The symbol was definitely that of the Wolfgang God loves Kheyli's faith in the chest being unlocked and she finds it just like so. Opening it, the party see a vast supply of foodstuffs along with a note. The "pig-man" steps in front of the box and looks down disappointedly. "It's not here, clearly. What we're looking for is not here. Did you find anything of interest on their bodies?"

"Y-yes, yes, I can...if you will just leave me to it..." "The box? Well, no. I believe there is something in it that should be of immense interest to me...er, to you...I mean, I guess to all of us, really. Do we have any bad-megablocks rogues around with lock-picking skills? As far as the people concerned, I cannot say I know them personally, as in, I never had any interactions with them, but as you so well expressed, no one can make deals with the devil and be on the right side."

"Did you kill them all? Is it safe? Dead men certainly tell no tales which is why a dead man is the best man...er...no offense!" Kellim looks inside the wagon and sees that it contains one large box with a Wolf-head insignia.

"More of a Weapon Seller than a hero from my experience, though he is a reliable sword when the need requires. He always did strike me as being more mercenary than anything." "In my experience, it is usually more noble to save dragons from kings than kings from dragons. When kings are in danger from dragons, it's usually their own fault." "I suppose calling someone a hero because of the hat they wear is about as easy as calling someone a hero because they call this hall their home."

"What the hell? These highway thieves attack me on the road and then complain when I fight back. What insolent idiots. Take them down Nexus!" "Neigh!"

My schedule can be so sporadic that though I don't mind throwing my lot in the hat, I'm not sure if I can be counted on for running a whole fields trip. I'm not sure if that particularly helps.

I believe everything from the Fields is already prepared as far as images and even stats (to some extent) are concerned.

Round 1 of the Loot Wagon Battle >Quintessa vs Succubus - Succubus *Doomed* Kellim vs Wagon - Miss >Kheyli vs Horse - Hit (5 + 6 * 2 = 22 Damage (SP Ignored)) >Cree - Change Sylvania's Cowl for Speed Cape >Cree - Potion (+10 HP) Free Hits: Trader vs Quintessa (9/2 - 5 = 0 Damage Dealt) The Succubus immediately uses her Phoenix Essence on the Trader who wakes up groggily, but ready for the fight. The rest of the round is rather dull, but Kheyli does get a solid hit on the horse, putting her Gellum Blade to good use.
