Zepher

Boomingham bows deeply to both ladies. He wanted to discuss many things, but it seemed the smartest place would be his suit of armor. He can't help but smiling good heartedly at Zelda first. "Good to see you, Zelda. Couldn't say howdy on the ship?" He turns to Salome and bows a second time, already forgetting he'd done so once. "It is an honor to meet you, and an honor that you know my name already. There is much I wish to address with you, but I fear I must first start with some grave news. Your Rainbow Guard is drastically compromised. The Crimson Bear has already been taken care of - perhaps it was rash, but the people of the Slums will attest that situation could not continue for a day longer. The Purple Monkey and Green Baboon.." Boomingham tries to remember if these names are correct. "The green and purple chap and lady, they're fooling around in the Hotel. The Manager would be more than willing to tell you I'm telling the truth. Don't really see the trouble with that, to be honest, but they knew about the other foul stuff... so... And the Azure Eagle has been dealing with the Black Market for years. His sister was their ringleader. Rex there has her on his back. Last night he ordered a strike on his fellow knight, Black Scorpion here, who it turns out is the only honest one of the bunch." Boomingham, wined, bows a third time, a little afraid about the reception of his news.

OoC: She can rest. "I am afraid we may not be crossing paths with anyone from Eubric. I'm well aware that my dear friend Lady Ji Pei recently led a coup and left her inventor behind - I'm rather thankful to her for it actually, because Daneeka is now more in demand than ever." Guffington chuckles. "But we are traveling to a more remote area than the former Council chambers. The Brotherhood of Chi has a number of temples that pepper some of the tallest mountains in Xu. We are to make land at the Ancient Temple of the First Breath. It is a place of training, healing, and meditation. I believe you will enjoy it there."

Bobby looks at Eckmar sadly. He can't quite make out what's wrong with the poor Fenarian, but he wishes he could help. "Bro, if you need to steady yourself or some shiz, just hang onto my shoulder. It won't hurt your rep, I swear. We can tell you're BA." Bobby turns his attention back to the battle. He shoots Miderun a little look as she calls out one plan and then fails to direct everyone so that it can be fulfilled. Where is her head? Not cool. But whatever, that's for later. Hoping that Kiray will indeed return to attacking Fester, Bobby turns his attention on Pugsley from the front row.

"Oh..." U'Or smiles meekly at the elf. "I'm sorry for being a distraction, Lady Purpearl. It is just that I have not been home since I was too young to remember. I always knew that the Great Guffington had taken me to Eubric because he knew my life in Dastan would... be... not good. Not as good. But I... I never resented him for it, but I guess in some ways I had hoped that maybe he was wrong in some ways. But if this is an improved Dastan... my poor parents, my poor people, for all those years. And truly, what a man to deliver me from that, allow me to work in a mansion and have friends such as Elba and Daneeka and heroes and Madame Ladybug and Lady Felix..." The U'Kin leaks a few tears and his voice warbles. "He has truly earned his title." His voice is so wet now it can't help but be a little comical. No, sorry, a consumable used is a consumable used.

U'Or wanders around the ship a little and comes to rest near the young dragon. He sits down and props himself against the side of the ship. Ever the professional he opens his briefcase and begins to shuffle through some papers, but it wouldn't take a dragon's intuition to tell that he is a little bit troubled.

And you made back the investment.

Boomingham smiles at the Knight in his full armor at last. "It suits you," he says happily, clapping the Scorpion on the back. "You can drink good, and you're a good knight to boot. Didn't want to believe you'd be the only righteous one in your brotherhood, but it makes you all the more righteous to avoid temptation. Isn't that right, Barty?" The little angel pops into existence and surveys the knight he no doubt condemned a few days earlier for being loud and drunken. "Yes. You have a good heart. Now if only you could figure out how to have one as well as you can recognize one, Lawrence." Boomingham chuckles. "Always with the complaints. Let's go talk to your Queenie, Scorpion. We have some knights to rat out." Boomingham keeps his eyes out for the other rainbow knights. Perhaps they'd gotten wind of the fact that the jig was up, but that somehow seemed unlikely.

The Elder Dragon stares down Hybros as he makes his quip about worms. "Huh...huh...huh..." he says and the heroes recognize a laugh. "I think...our paths...may cross...again." "Here I was thinking that another adventure with heroes would have me finally falling in love with the muscular captain, but now the little imp is offering me presents." Lady Felix beams at Hybros cheekily and stows the vial in one of her many hidden satchels. "Thank you, Hybros." Hybros, meanwhile, spies fifteen gold in the rubble he knocked down and quickly snatches it before any dragons can notice.

The board swiftly and take to the skies, Vipera flying alongside them for a short stretch. <To Xu next? We have sisters there too, though not of the same breed.> Vipera lets the wind whip around her wings. <One day perhaps I shall journey there, but for now my place is in Dastan. This is not farewell, however. It seems impossible our paths will not cross again. So instead, when next we meet, my sisters, Lady Purpearl, Hybros, Arthur, and my Hoke.> With a dip in her head the wind buffets her downwards and she is lost as the ship rises above the clouds. "Straight to Xu, Gerald?" "Full steam ahead, Captain!"

"Come, we're all poets in our own right. You with your hammer, me with my words. And swords." Boomingham approaches the folks at the Souk. "Hello chaps! As you can see, the Black Market won't be bothering you any more because they're dead." He points to Ashanti. "That one was their ring leader. Now if you'll excuse me I'll have to be off to the Palace. You may thank me for my service later. Remember the name Lord Lawrence Boomingham." And with that Boomingham leads his party to the palace.

I'd again argue that it again comes down to respect. That doesn't mean crushing creativity. We've recently had aliens with robots visit Heroica, and a new player with a stomach with a mouth built into it, and no one bitched (and for the record I'd say Kaliphin falls into that, but I hope we've moved past that by now because seriously who the hell cares who calls desert what). But if someone started to say moon elves were everywhere, we'd have a problem because that's rude to other people who play the game. Though I guess, as you said, we'd just treat them as insane. So really the lesson is people will treat you as insane if you come to the game ignoring other people. I understand that "seriousness" can sometimes seem to lack creativity, but I think that it's really just respect for creativity, and at the best of time everyone will take the dude who loves his clothes and the dude with a mouth for a stomach just as seriously as they do ancient moon elves.

Hoke has little luck, but Torc is able to make out the hoards of dragons watching them from above. There are many... but not as many as one may hope. No doubt less than one hundred. A fair number surely, but not for a whole continent, and not for their home continent. Vipera and Hybros walk back out, Hybros holding a glistening ember that is sears the heroes eyes, so that they must avert their gaze. "So now...you have taken...your own treasure. If you wish...to transport it...I shall cool it for you...but it will always...be able to...spring back to life. That is the way...of the heart...and spirits...of our race. And perhaps...your's as well." The great dragon exhales from far above, and the ember is cooled, but still glistens with great life. "Thank you great dragons. This was quite the sight." "Back to the ship quickly then," hisses Lady Felix. "Before any more of them decide they want to prove they're willing to chew on me."

Bobby can't help but roll his eyes at the amount of talking these dudes do during a fight. He had thought that at this point they'd have all settled on like one goal. But whatever. If Kiray is remedied, Bobby attacks Eudora from the front row. If she is not, he attacks Fester from the front row.

I agree and at the same time disagree. It's a fine line between being respectful of the hard work people have put in over the last 4 years, and allowing there to be room for growth. So we get too defensive, but the respect and seriousness we treat the game with is something I value too. Regardless, that was a poor welcome from everyone. Everyone play the game you want to play. You can be from wherever. If other people aren't cool with it, they'll just treat you like you're crazy. It's happened before, it'll happen again. Everyone pretended Docken was insane, but he was more sane than anyone. Guts doesn't believe Boomingham is from the past, so who cares!

Not my week, huh. "It appears your nation attracts heroes, and heroes attract old acquaintances," says Daneeka, turning around to face the Orcs.

Collecting the Gloves of the Dragon Mother, Hybros ventures forth with Vipera. The others are left with the dragons for a short while. Lady Felix brushes off her skirts and comes to stand besides Purpearl.

Daneeka remains sitting in the back of the cart in the back of the party, staring at the road the heroes had just traversed, entirely unconcerned about how the heroes might be getting through the checkpoint.

Hybros moves close to the fallen dragon as he delivers his speech, and slips a health core into her mouth. Suddenly her eyes fly open once more, and she snaps her jaws at the imp, who flutters away. Rising to her feet slowly she flexes her wings and breaths a few jets of fire out of her nostrils. She takes a thundering step forward. <Insolent-> but then there is a flutter of wings from above and two heavy thuds between her and the heroes. <Are you so blind, sister, as to not recognize defeat? Have you no shame? These heroes have spared you a cruel fate.> "Say nothing of kindness, speak of power. Do you want to step so close to death again?" Vipera flutters forward. <This is done.> Bellerai stares at the three dragons and at the heroes past them before taking flight and disappearing into the dark caverns above. "So the worms...and our sister...have both shown their hearts...there is great valor is battle...but also in mercy. I knew you kind...when they roamed the earth...young imp...though the void has much...changed you. You may go...and take an ember. And you speak wisely...young elf. There is still...a world for us...to make noble once more...and there are still...some Elder Dragons...to guide us." "It'd be smart to act swiftly," Guffington whispers to Hybros. <I can lead you, but you must close your eyes if you wish to retain your vision.>

"We can't very well go shopping with a dead woman on your back," chuckles Boomingham. "We'll stop there quickly, since it's on our way. But the Palace is our priority. Let's get going, chaps. Onwards and upwards."

OoC: Sorry I've been so scatter-brained this whole battle. Been very busy/sick for the last week or so. Probably not unrelated.

The voice is draconic, and issues both into the heroes' minds and ears. "Some of these whelps...are ones I know...no friends to dragons. Why do you...bring them to us...sister Vipera?" <They have proven their worth. Bellerai betrayed herself with her violence and stubbornness. Dragons can no longer hide their wealth in caves. We are being called back into the world.> "The world...holds little beauty...the great races...are all dead. And who are these individuals...worms our sister called them...do they share the honor...and the grace...of the old races? No...see how they pierce...the hide of noble dragons...your kin. Even the elder dragons...fall these days." Bellerai snorts painfully, and the heroes can suddenly see that her chest is still heaving. "Our sister...still lives. What will...these mighty worms...do? Will they kill...another of our dwindling numbers...or will they allow her...to live in shame...to hunt them once more...if she sees fit...do they know...the beauty of life...and the beauty of death? Which do they choose...for our sister?" What will the heroes do?

Alas, I am but mortal.

Bobby watches as Kiray flails around, and targets Fester from the front row.

"The manager at the hotel promised me she'd testify if pressed, and no reason she wouldn't. The Crimson Bear... well, you can imagine what happened to him.
