Zepher

A very tiny Bobby quivers as he stares up at the even more monstrous fighting clans. It was, he thought, a pretty good articulation of how he'd felt the whole quest. "This is all effing poetic and shiz," he says. "I guess we gotta just try to keep at it, right?" He uses a remedy on Kiray.

Maybe! Generally setting up battles takes a while for me, just because it does, and that's part of the job, but this one was just infuriating because of the way the internet was acting.

Sorry - the site is being ridiculously buggy. I'm sure I screwed something in the hero stats up, but it's taken me 2.5 hours to put together this battle, when it shouldn't have. So for now I'm taking a break - feel free to correct me, hopefully it's close enough that I can patch it up as I run the first round.

As things get dicey in the real world, the heroes in the Font can feel the spirits pressing in, whispering and yearning for another chance at life. "I can smell him. On the other side." "Get him. Kill him." "Stand aside. You're not the only ones with a bone to pick." "Ah, how perfect, you have come to offer your souls..."

He glances over his shoulder, and the heroes are shocked to see that Guffington's spirit, at least, is right alongside them. "You want to come with us? Find the man who will soon be you?" "That seems to make the most sense." But before the heroes can get anywhere, they are blocked by some spirits who snarl with fury at them. "Come to meet your final fate at the hands of a true warrior?" growls Vonnetate. "You will perish here. First you two, then the man Hoke, and then I will take this puny man's body as my own. Hahaha." "I do not know who you are, brave Pongcanis, and I know that your people are also in grave need of a strong leader though I don't know who you are.

OoC: Okay, it's still not letting me highlight - I think anyone who has run a battle before can imagine how difficult this makes things, particularly moving around inventories and formatting things. I'm working on it, but please be patient. It's already taken me and hour and a half just to set up the first battle. I think there just may be too much code in one post...

OoC: Will edit in the foes for the other two parties in the next thirty minutes - just had to post this because for whatever reason this page is glitched and won't let me highlight anything on it, which is making all these changes of equipment impossibly long (instead of copy and paste I'm stuck with manually re-writing everything...) but anyway I think if I post and refresh it should be fine! "I'm sure you think we will prove easy. I think we'll have to show you how wrong that assumption is." "Don't kill them if you can help it. It's not uncommon for things to come to blows here when we disagree, but we keep it a civil fight." He grins as he takes out his two gems. "Or at least we try to." "That feels like a life time ago. In more than one way. Good to see you made it out, and better equipped than we were back then." Most of the heroes allies accept their new equipment, but Triad refuses Dyric's offer. "It has been a long time since we have stood by you, so you may have forgotten. But we will fight with nothing but our ancestral weapon. Even on this side of the void." Chauncey likewise refuses Arthur's gems. "No time for mushy hellos." He grimaces at Arthur and Dyric's displays. "Here they come. Move swiftly! Find the Old God."

Hoke stumbles upon the party. Melquiades looks around, nodding his head in approval. Amarcolm catches the coin and flips it onto the back of his hand. He looks at it, and then at Arthur. "Well, would you look at that. Looks like I'm with you." Amarcolm and Arthur warp to the others swiftly. "You're all here! Super. Well, things are about to get ugly, so best of luck." He turns to Lady Felix. "Don't die, understand?" And with that, the Selkreeth disappears. "Yes, yes, I understand, I'm very evil and scary for allowing people to grow beyond what's expected of them." He glances at his 'sister'. "Old habits die hard. We once were very good at shaping the lives of mortals so that they exceeded expectations." OoC: Oh, I was confused because he said you'd have to pay him for that and you just pocketed it. So you'll have to sort that out afterwards, if you don't want him hunting you down. "Glad to hear that at least one person was looking forward to seeing me," says the Master sardonically. Daneeka turns to the heroes. The artifacts surround Guffington. "It's time to go." The Sayyip turns to his long time employer. "Enjoy the other side. You'll be seeing it before me. Don't spoil the surprise." "I won't." Gerald turns to his employees and the heroes remaining behind. He nods, gives Lady Felix a kiss on the cheek, and then reclines next to the Font, laying his head in it. "Now." Arthur, Dyric, Hoke, Hybros, Matthias and Chauncey step into the Font, and are overcome with an incredible light. In the Temple, there's a sharp crack, and Piglina, Bombast, Zeus, Zapp, The Beast and Luis stare down Lady Felix, Guts, Purpearl and Amarcolm. The Mother and Master both take a small step back. "Last chance to stand down." On the other side of the Font, the heroes hear voices, impossible to place for a few short seconds, but slowly... they feel as if they recognize them... "Haha, well knew you'd be along sooner or later." "Who is it?" "The heroes." "Come to the Void, Chauncey?" says Zelphie, chipper as can be. Her glasses flash. "I hope you avenged my death." "Never thought we'd be seeing you here so soon. Hope you didn't go and die on us already." "We imagine you are here for the Old God. There have been rumblings. The evil spirits have dragged him far from the portal. You will have to find him. We will help." "Gnash too!" "Any way you cut it, it's going to be rough. Getting a second crack at life is going to draw a whole lot of nastys this way. You're going to have to lock down this portal, and make your way to him. So tell us where you want us."

By incapacitating those who are looking to do it. Now is the time to either stand for safety, or for chaos. The choice is yours, but the time is now." "Guess that's true. Everyone should be headed where I'm headed eventually, except apparently the gnome." He shakes Guts' hand. "Give my regards to Nyx and Docken, and everyone else in Eubric. Everstien." He shrugs. "Best of luck, my friend." "Great." Amarcolm takes the gold. "Let's see where I fall in all of this." He flips the coin and looks at Arthur as it flies through the air. "Call it." Melquiades warps into the room as Arthur watches the coin. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Melquiades warps the entire party, excluding Hoke and Arthur, into a plain and empty room. At it's center is an archway, and beyond that the Font - however, where most views of the Font on the island appear as a window, this one appears doorway. "This room is the heart of Etheria," says the Mother. "The temple. And your entry way into the Font. Doc Daneeka, if you are prepared." Doc Daneeka nods to Hybros and Matthias. "I'll be needing those artifacts now. Using the artifacts, as well as Guffington's body, we will be able to do what the Old Gods- apologies, the First Mortals, were able to do. This is no petty necromancy. That is merely reanimating a corpse. Here we are creating life. Anchoring a soul to a body, giving it life, adaptability, passion, ingenuity, all those things we consider life. Gerald, are you ready?" "Feel like people keep asking me that, as if I'm going to lose my nerve." He smiles. "Dying either way, right?" Doc Daneeka and U'Or start to fuss around Guffington. "There is one more-" The Mother is cut off by billowing black smoke. "Hi, heroes!" The Master of Regret looks around. "Matthias, Purpearl, Dyric. Really a good party!" "Brother. It's been too many years." She glares at him. "I have heard that you have been making enemies and giving us a bad name. What of our vow to stay out of the way?" "What about it?" He points around vaguely. "You call this staying out of human affairs?" "I apologize, heroes." The Mother turns her attention back to them. "I know you have no love for my brother, and can more than understand the sentiment. Be that as it may, I felt he had a right to know what Chauncey wished to accomplish." "He's my brother too. And if anyone is responsible for this whole damned mess, it's me. I didn't think Wren would be able to pull off what she did." He wags his finger accusingly at Dyric. "I was backing the Court of Demons. They didn't have any wild designs to possess and kill my brother. He shouldn't have been involved at all. Should have let the crazies duke it out. But you heroes dragged him in." "Surprising from you." She turns to the heroes. "I cannot vouch for his past, but he does legitimately want to bring Passion back. As I said, it would be unethical for me to take an active role in proceedings, even if only to honor my own word. But that does not me we can't support you in your effort. Please, go with my blessing." "And mine too." Each hero may use the blessing of Hope and Regret once in the upcoming battle. This will replace your whole turn (regardless of hastened/dancing/duelstrike etc.) Hope's Blessing - Instead of taking action, the hero may use Hope's blessing on another hero. That hero's next roll will be a shield. Regret's Blessing - Can be used to target a KO'd hero. Said KO'd hero is revived with one health, but their next roll will be a shield. "Please bring our brother home."

I guess it just slipped through the cracks! I'm sure I've heard it before, I guess I just never bothered to look it up!

"I would hardly be worth anything if I acknowledged the threat and did not pursue my own plan to combat it. I will be at your disposal as well. Perhaps Amarcolm as well, if anyone is inclined to collect him... though that may prove a gamble, depending on how you convinced him." "I condone the plan, but I cannot allow myself to take action directly if I am to remain at the head of the Council. I give you all my blessings and hope, but no more. I love my brother, but Etheria's future is more important." "Bear in mind also while you form the teams that those on either side of the portal... Guffington's body, that is... will be able to pass through to each other, while the team collecting Passion will be on their own, unable to call for support." "Not quite the Void, no. You will be venturing inside the Font." She points to the multicolored etherial spout that the island centers around. "As with the artifacts you hold, it is originally from the Island of the First Mortals. It is where all souls go." "Through the Font into me? In my understanding, at that point, it's too late. You'll have to cut me down, unless a friendly spirit has taken over my person, in which case maybe give it a shot at life. Chauncey will be disappointed, though." "You can aid us by stopping it from taking place." OoC: Sorry, just gonna stall one more day in hopes that Purpearl comes online... she felt excluded last time there was a plot point, but she's still in that same battle...

Bobby attacks Orien from the front row.

Hey I just heard that term for the first time ever about half an hour ago while watching Season 2 of Fargo while eating my dinner. Strange how life works like that.

OoC: Will post full stats tonight! OoC: I don't know. What do people think? Should they count as experience? I imagine they should, but on the other hand the gems are pretty massive compensation. As I said, you can complete the side quests now or later. You will not be ejected from Etheria after the "quest" concludes. I just think some people are losing interest, and it doesn't seem fair to hold them here while everyone does side quests. "We will protect ourselves best that we can," says Daneeka. "We are not totally hopeless when it comes to this procedure. Lord Chauncey and myself have done a significant amount of research - whatever we have been able to get our hands on." "Essentially, in opening a entrance to the world of lost souls, we are potentially allowing something else to come back instead of Passion. For this reason, you will have to guard Guffington's body, so that something else does not possess it, as well as track down Passion. And if we have troubles on this end, which it sounds like we will, we will also have to protect his body on the material plane. That's three teams of heroes." "I have a vial with the waters from the Fountain of Youth. Who is still missing? Hoke? Guts? Purpearl?" Hoke finds Piglina talking with the Beast at Strange Beach. They stop as he approaches.

"Sure. We'll run some tests if we have to. Just turn the artifacts on over to us!" says Bombast, a greedy glint in his eye. He takes a step towards Matthias, who still holds the anvil. Hybros and Matthias stumble into the room. "Ready as I can be." Guffington smiles. "Are we going, then? Should we not collect all of our disparate crew?" "There are some final steps and safeguards I will have to take you all through." "They're moving fast. Always recklessly rushing forward." She shakes her head. "This is why we have a Council in the first place! To police things like this! Why were we not made aware?" "I'll go gather who I can," says Bombast as he calls out a name and is warped out of the room. "It appears that we are preparing to make some progress."

My good sense." She points to Matthias. "Matthias and the imp came to tell me of Amarcolm's intention." "No offense, Zeigfried, but what do you mean by Darkness?" He turns to Piglina. "What are they doing?" "They plan to use the untested artifacts to bring back someone who is dead." Bombast turns to the heroes and tsks them. "Surely that can't be true." OoC: Yes! I'm going to be busy though, in life in general, rather shortly and would like the quest to end sooner rather than later, but I can continue to host until everyone is done with what they want to accomplish. The longer it runs, the less likely I'll be able to update. But this upcoming two weeks will still be sparse enough that I'm not too concerned, just trying to move things along! "The sooner the better," says Hope. Hoke arrives back in the City Center. Zeus, Zapp, Luis and the Norn are all still about where Hoke left them.

"He keeps all the memories of the island in his skulls. He is like a historian and a librarian. He has seen all that has happened on the island. He is only memories though. Not much of a here and now." "Best we know she's coming." Hope isn't ruffled by the news. "It's within her rights to try to stop us of course, if she thinks that's best. If she is coming, we might not have an awful lot of time to get things going. Where are the other artifacts?" "Gave all of my spares to your allies. Best go looking somewhere else." OoC: It's an offer at the end of the quest. "Hm, don't know. May have my hands full later on..." Bombast barely pays attention to the words he's saying as the two heroes continue to discuss their mission. "What's all this now? If it's got something to do with Etheria, I insist on knowing!" With a zap, the heroes are joined by Piglina. "Bombast!" she says, and then glances at the two heroes. "Give us some privacy, would you?" "Hold on now. We were just getting into something interesting." "I don't doubt it." She faces the heroes. "You want to tell him what you've come here to do, or should I?"

"I could never-" Bombast catches himself. "It's never been done before, training a dragon like that. Hm..." he thinks. "I couldn't do it swiftly. She'd have to stay here on the island with me for a few months at least. But I could give it a shot at least. If anyone could do it, I could. I'm the best Weather Mage on the most magical island in the world, after all." OoC: You'd have to give her up for a quest. You don't have to decide now, you can make the choice at the end of the quest. Bombast listens carefully as the two heroes discuss. He strokes his chin. "What's all this now?" "You on an island of mages. Everyone has a gem. You just have to figure out how to get your hands on them." "Of course." The Mother takes Dyric's hand in her claw. "We all have personal stakes in this. But no hard feelings." "As I've said, never fear expressing your opinion. No one else likes admitting it, but none of us really know what we're doing any more than you. Your guess and gut are as good as ours." "More or less," says Chauncey with a quiet smile suggesting that perhaps his guess is a little better than Dyric's. "The giants... yes. I do remember that." Hope smiles slightly, lost in foggy memory. "They were a strong race. The earth shuddered when they walked. And they did have some sort of walled city. I was proud of that." But then she seems to lose the thread. "Do you know them?" "They died out years ago." "Oh, yes, of course." She turns to Dyric. "But you know their city? Duplovia?" She eyes him with interest. "You're from there. And once wanted to return." "She's over there talking to Dyric," says Felix as she points out Guffington, Chauncey, the Mother and Dyric. "Not sure exactly how the Hel time works here, but if she's looking to stop us, we may have all the time in the world or just seconds. Think we should be gathering the troops?"

"Hm, not Cold Circle make, they must have acquired it. It can be recharged, but if the thing it should summon is dead, won't be much use to you. Might be able to turn it into something else, if you leave it with me for a while." He looks at it more carefully. "What're you looking to get out of it?" "Great. Sure we'll be seeing each other soon then." She calls out a name the heroes don't recognize, and she's zapped out of the room. All three turn to face Dyric, giving amicable smiles. "Not at all. What can we do for you?" "Personally I don't. If you're looking for a different Void Master, I think Piglina would be the one to see about that." She smiles brightly. "Make me proud!" Matthias waits awkwardly for a full minute before Melquiades materializes. "You'd do better to call my name," says the Void Master with a wink. "Just dropped your friend at Bombast's. We can head there now." He grabs hold of Matthias and a few seconds later the two appear alongside Arthur and Miirym in Bombast's office.

"You got it!" says Bobby as he uses his remedy on Kiray instead.

Bobby drinks a remedy from the back row, and once his vision clears he stares down Toren. "Striking down Polly," he says, shaking his head sadly.
