"If you come across the dragon, you'll find out that she is quite docile. My friend, Cain Tiamateus, is her partner. Her lair is located beyond this chamber - this is actually her foodstock that she kindly lent to our use. The left corridor actually leads to the Dragon's Ledge, which the dragon uses to enter and exit her lair. The ledge is located on the cliffs west to the city, inaccessible unless you can fly and well hidden from prying eyes." "I know no-one with that name, I am sorry. I am aware that you are on a mission for this young girl here. This Shaun is the person you seek, right? "Yup, that's right! The dragon didn't eat him, did she?" Kukulkan looks almost amused, although the stern orc hides it well. "No, I don't think she did. But she might know more about him, if the boy actually lives down here. We orcs are just visitors. The sooner I get these people out of here, the better for everyone. I hope you find your friend, girl." "You expected me to get killed for liberating slaves? You obviously still do not realize my position in this city, although I can't deny that there has attempts to take my life. But the mighty Tarok is on my side, and He is known to destroy anyone who stands in His way. Lucky for Eubric, I have no desire to become 'Tarokai the Second'. I just don't want anyone to suffer in slavery like I did." The tension finally loosens. Kukulkan shows the party the way to the dragon's lair. Does the party have something else to ask from the orcs, or do they wish to continue to see the dragon?

The elder orc grunts, and eyes Cinna suspiciously. "What trick is this? We were told these corridors were empty - save for the dragon that lives down the hallway. We have not seen a soul since we were brought here yesterday." A voice speaks behind the party. "I am here. And just in time, it seems." A one-eyed orc with a feathered bandana walks in between the heroes and addresses the greenskinned maroons. "My people! These people do not pose a threat to you; they are from Heroica, and on a quest unrelated to our situation. It is only a coincidence that they happened upon these tunnels on this very day. Your escape has not been endangered." Then the orc leader turns to the party. "I see a familiar face here. The rest of you might be interested to know that I am Kukulkan, liberator of the enslaved orckin. I was once a slave myself, but I fought myself to freedom and joined Heroica. That became my salvation, for my previous owners could not touch me after that. But all of us are not fighters, so I'm taking these people you see gathered here out of the city. All of them risked their lives to escape their enslavers, but they are not safe until they reach Baltarok, their ancestral home. The designated ship will set anchor below the Dragon's Ledge tonight after dusk, and these people will embark on it and be free at last. I trust you honourable heroes will keep this information to yourselves - or would you rather face my spear in battle?" Kukulkan's one eye looks at each hero defiantly. The other greenskins have not lowered their makeshift weapons yet. "Are you daft?" Sküld whispers back to Nerwen. "Shaun's no greenskin! But if there's a dragon up ahead, maybe he got eaten. I'm really worried now..."

Awww, sad Cronk.

The party decides to make a collective move to the right, walking calmly towards the light and the noises at the end of the tunnel. Their suspicions turn out to be right, as they see a group of greenskins cowering in what seems to be an underground warehouse. Upon seeing the heroes, the orcs, goblins, gremlins and the ilk grab whatever they can reach to defend themselves. "They've found us!" shouts the oldest of the orcs. "All men to arms! Women and children to the back, quick!" More greenskins jump out behind the stacks of crates, each holding a tool or a stick. Some of the women step forward with the men. "I'll rather die fighting than let the humans take me again!" one of the orcish women says, swinging a frying pan. The greenskins send glares at the heroes, nervously waiting for them to make a move. The children whimper in the back. The hulking ogre groans in restrained fury. The tension in the room is so thick it could be cut through with a knife. What will the party do?

You haven't offended me personally, I just don't like your aggressiveness and arrogance - those are very un-ladylike properties, you know. I already stated my reason for voting you. I certainly did not mean to send you any "cryptic messages" with what I said, so your attempt to bully me with a potato message was not welcomed. This has happened in past life (on several occasions, actually). Hervi gathers a group of followers around him, but does not actually trust any of them until they've been double-, triple- and quadruple-verified. So if he's innocent, I trust him to watch his back with these "allies". But you're right: if Hervi is scum, and has that much influence on so many people, we are in big trouble. So my advice to all of you innocents who are in contact with Hervi is that you double-, triple- and quadruple-check him as well.

I wasn't going to vote at all, but you can thank your a-hole attitude that I changed my mind.

I honestly can't make heads or tails from all these nicknames and roleclaims flying around, not to mention the fact that people throw accusations and in the next moment take them back. And if you think over 150 comments is going to make my job any easier, then you're sadly mistaken. If you really want my "own independent reasoning" to vote someone, then I shall vote: Snotra Carrotface (Scubacarrot) for sending me a potato message that basically warned me about playing with fire. I know that doesn't affect anything, but I really don't respond well to thinly-veiled threats - if that what the message was about.

Benji looks through the other tombs, but only sees names of other members of the Tiamateus family. Is the party ready to move on to either direction?

I'll be damned if anyone can make sense out of this mess! Unvote: Dragmall (Dragonator) I'm sorry, I can't vote anyone today since I really don't have a clue of what's going on. Why can't life just be one big party?!

The Lady Luck was mentioned as well back in Violetta the Cat Burglar's quest. "Official quest record"? You mean what's written in Byblos's fictional library? I guess... XD I actually don't remembed where I got the head from, but it's double-sided with a smiling face on the other side.

Guts stealthily ventures to the right-side corridor. The muted voices grow louder, and a light shines from up ahead. There seems to be quite a crowd gathered at the other end of the winding passage. With no shadows to hide in, Guts stops before he can see who are talking, but he hears bits of the discussions. "...He should be back soon..." "...Tonight's the night, huh?..." "...because he said so..." "...Finally, the kids are growing restless..." "...so near, yet so far..." "...That dragon-feller's been generous..." "...for a human..." "...freedom, at last..." Guts returns to report to the others.

As Benji pulls the book, something clicks and the whole bookshelf moves to the side, opening a way into a dark corridor. When Benji opens the book out of curiosity, he finds it blank aside from a phrase written with red ink on the first page: "LEARN FOR YOURSELF!" "This is it: the way where Shaun always comes out." Sküld shouts Shaun's name into the corridor, but only her echo replies. "Come on, let's not waste anymore time! But... uhh, someone else go in first, okay?" Thothwick snatches the rest of the books to his satchel. He leafs them through as the party moves on: the other is just a dictionary as the cover says, but the other is an epic tale of a halfling who wanders into the land of the dragons and becomes the first Dragon Knight. Not wanting to dawdle at the dusty basement any longer, the party moves into the corridor. They soon come to a flight of stairs that leads down, and after descending them they find themselves in a catacomb with tombs on both sides. The most elaborate one reads: Here lies YULIANA TIAMATEUS aka. the Golden Dragon Veteran of the Orcish Invasion Founder of Heroica Died at the age of 72 Awestruck about their finding, the party walks on in silence. Another staircase leads them down to a winding corridor, which at one point forks into two. A faint breeze of fresh air comes from the left, while from the right the party can hear a low murmur. Which way will they continue?

Haha, you've got me confused about my own words. I don't even know what I meant by that anymore. XD I'm just trying to deduce the truth from what has been said, like everyone else, I guess.

I'm not "sure" about anything, I just go with what I see. Hervi merely hinted at this "Hades" being Dragmall, and BANG! Dragmall came and outed himself before Hervi could - and started a vote against Hervi at the same time. If Dragmall had any doubt about Hervi's alignment, he probably would not have been so defensive. But I think he knows he's not on the same side as Hervi, and the only way he could know that, really, is that he is either a neutral or a scum. I haven't been in contact with Hervi by potatoes, pidgeons or any other means starting with a 'p', but I'm inclined to believe his sincerity - for now. His plays are just so damn convincing. XD

As people are digging out their bedrolls, Sküld stomps her foot. "Guys! We don't have time for naps here! We've got to find Shaun! If someone would just give me some ether, I could heal all of us right back up." Namyrra gives one of her tonics to the girl, and she spends 5 ether to restore everyone back to full health. She cannot do anything about the lost ether, though.

Hmmm, it is not surprising that people seem to be gathering around Hervi - he seems to like being in the center of attention. With these revelations, and Dragmall's retaliation, I believe we're on the verge of finding out something essential. My biggest doubt with Hervi being a scum is that he voluntarily made up these plays to let the public know what he knows. Why would a scum do that, as early as on Day Two? To lead us off? From what? Nobody had brought up anything concrete until Hervi, so unless there's some really hot gossips going on in the potato messages, a Scum!Hervi would have no reason to put himself into the limelight. Then on to Dragmall: everything he says about Hervi's methods ring true. We all know this is how Hervi operated in his past life, whether he was scum or not. But it usually happened in a more pivotal point in the game. If Hervi is scum, maybe he was just bored and wanted to take a risk to get rid of some power-roles? No matter how I look at it, I can't believe that Dragmall and Hervi are on the same side. One of them is lying, and they both know which one. But if Dragmall is neutral, why bother voting for him if we can nail a scum instead? This is a troublesome situation, where a normal party-goer such as myself can only guess what is true and what is a lie. I took a chance with my vote yesterday, and I failed, but I don't think I have any other choice but to take another chance today. Thus, I shall vote: Dragmall the Dangerous (Dragonator). This is not written in stone, though. I will observe how things advance from here-on out.

With that, obnoxious gas fills the basement, knocking everyone out in a blink of an eye. When they wake up from the cold stone floor, all of their health and ether have been recuded to one. The book lies open on the floor, and written on bold red letters on the center fold is "WAR IS HELL!" "I guess that wasn't it, then. I'd heal us all right back up, but I don't have enough ether..."

Ellaria tries to address the men of his group. They seem to eager to rush into any situation without thinking ahead much. "I know it must be tempting for you guys to side with the rebellious brother, but considering our task here, I don't think we should upset the current status quo in any way. Just think about having the city officials on our heels while we try to finish our mission. So if you ask me, we should keep up our appearances and side with Macros. Uh, if he's the guy in red, that is."

It's a minor issue, really. In the case of the Unlimited Quest, the party just rested in the Sanctuary for the second time in a row. In normal quests, when there's a chance to rest, a QM might want to declare its one time only, so that there can be no "sharing bedrolls" - although that springs up new possibilities for roleplaying... ;P Bedroll is an item that can be given away just like any other item. I see no logical way to forbid it.

The pieces are the "keystones" from the Atlantis-theme.

Sure! I quite like how it turned it out myself as well. But the Aquaphant is not the only one of its kind, he's got cousins elsewhere on the Fields: the Igniphant and the Electriphant. ;)
