She offers her hand, and then thinking better of it, gives him a warm hug. "Tarn and I fare extremely well. We have gotten engaged." She holds up her hand with a ring on it. "The people... no, enough of that. It is a great joy to my heart. He is waiting at the palace for us, and I am sure that you will all be given ample time to talk of your great adventures. Do not think for a moment just because he left Heroica he has lost his warrior's heart. He is a fierce and valiant as ever." "U'Voros is right there." Ella laughs as she points to the U'Kin, who nervously eyes the street. "He is very concerned when I venture out of the palace, but I absolutely insisted on meeting my friends. This U'Kin is named U'Daras, by the way. She is the Commander of our Dragon Knights, and next in line to the throne after Victor. She knows of the heroes here last better than I." U'Daras says nothing. She stands sternly, with her eyes glancing at the entrance every once in a while as well. "Hybros, I believe I have heard Tarn mention your name. And Hoke... you are one of the heroes who dealt with Wren when she was a threat. Purpearl... I apologize that your reputation does not proceed you, but I am in a great debt to your organization. Lady Felix, U'Or, Captain Elba. I welcome you all to my fair city. And Gerald Guffington. Welcome back. I hear word you have been here before, when I was very young. I believe you brought me a gift." "I did. Didn't have such white hair then, though." <I am happy to meet other dragons always, and happy to welcome them to Dastan. It is important that all dragons visit their ancestral home. You do us a great service, little one, by choosing a human companion. Perhaps your example will lead your brothers and sisters in the home land to come out from hiding.> Vipera bares her teeth. <There is much you can be taught. By dragon years you are exceedingly young. By dragon years I am exceedingly.> "Please, I'm only a princess," Ella chuckles. "It is nice to have an excuse to get out of the palace." Vipera flutters up to Hoke's shoulder and glances at Torc hesitantly before landing. <In older days it would be considered improper for a dragon to come between a dragon and her human. But if Torc does not mind. I have become comfortable on this shoulder over the years.> <As I said to the young golden one, we have much to discuss, sister. Already you could eat me if you so chose, but you know little of the ancient way of dragons, and that is surely more important to any dragon than size and muscle. We are an old and proud race. Do not assume that you can call yourself dragon without learning our ways. Both you and the golden one would not be allowed out of the caves at your age if you were born in Dastan. Too much to learn.> <And as always, Hoke, know that I remain in your debt. Simply speaking of my heritage reminds me of how close I was to never seeing it again." "I did steal him, and sometimes I wonder if it did more harm than good. Was it not selfish to put my own love over the good he may have done if left to his own devices? I console myself only because he may, by my side, allow for the improvement of many lives in my homeland. Selfish still, I know." She smiles meekly. "Shall we go to the palace?"

OoC: I have to go to bed extremely shortly, but if someone could pick an action for Guts I can run the round in about 12 hours from now.

Boomingham grins. "Sorry chappo, but I did tell you how this was going to go. Could have come peacefully - in fact, probably would have if you weren't guilty."

Bobby allows his companions to do the talking, instead offering his hand to the attractive woman sitting in front of him. "Yo, pleasure to meet you, and thanks for the save. My name is Bobby Bucks Jr." Bobby omits his nickname, certain this is a prestigious lady. "You're fire, you know that?"

"Theft is condemnable regardless of circumstances, but it's particularly ugly if the thief is already enjoying some luxuries in life." Boomingham growls. "I have it on good authority that you torment the people of these Hovels. This ends one of two ways. You solemnly swear it won't happen again, or I make sure it doesn't happen again."

Absolutely superb! I really love everything about it - the functioning doors are way cool, and that twisting design with the wheel covers (whatever they're called, I know nothing about cars) is awesome. Love the angles around the windows too, and even the fact that there are windows is pretty inspired - we don't see nearly enough sci-fi builds with them, but they look great! The rock work is also superb. Really no weak links, great build.

Well it's always been a tough line to walk - I imagine Ella as young and not too impulsive, and they did only know each other for a short time before Tarn moved across the world for her... but he DID move across the world for her ... but you can just ask her where they stand.

That's right! I forgot that they ran into her. I used to really dislike the idea of other people using my NPCs, but now I love when it happens. Makes for lots of more meaningful cross-over and stories! Speaking of things that are overdue, it was over 2 years ago that Ella predicted she and Guffington would meet.

They're not married yet, I don't think. And she can't have a scandal on her hands. Has Atters seen her since 30? I always feel like she and him got along well because of that side quest she took him on. Oh well, I guess you'll just have to come on my finale to see her one final time. There are literally about 50 NPCs appearing in that at the moments, and I'm not even re-using all my "notable" NPCs. 139 is a curtain call for the a few of them.

Guts' Greatest Annoyance (Pirates) Battle Round Three Guts uses a Fortune Flush - Party Lucky Guts v. Third Mate/Nordic Crew - Damage/Damage ([29+36]-4=61 Damage) Dyric v. First Mate - Critical Hit/Miss (83 Base Damage, No Assassinations, x2 Captain/First Mate) Dyric v.

Guts gets a little cocky and waltzes forward, but the Nordic crew and surviving were-gator are able to give him a run for his money. It's the last thing the crew ever does though, as Dyric fills them to the gills with arrows and they tumble off the boat.

The next day is smooth flying, and in the early afternoon they begin their descent through the clouds, down towards Dastan. Below them opens up Drakencourt, an enormous, sprawling ancient city. Elba bears towards the palace. A small dark green dragon flies by. <Arthur. Hoke. I see you have both brought me some new friends.> The small dragon shoots a stream of fire in greeting. <Though what your partner is eating, Hoke, I can't imagine.> Vipera takes her place in front of the ship. <If you would follow me, Captain, I can take you in for landing.> Elba follows Vipera to a small open field, enclosed by high walls. He lowers the ship carefully into it. <An artifact from when the Dragon Knights were paired with dragons in great numbers. It allowed for them to land in the city near the Palace.> "Heroes. Welcome to Dastan." Ella is all warmth. OoC: Stats update will come tomorrow.

Boomingham glances over his shoulder to Rex, whispering out of the side of his mouth. "If you would like to step away, that is more than okay. You have been a valuable asset, but if you wish to protect your reputation, I understand." Turning then back to the knight: "This is my comrade. I think we'd both like to know what you're doing in the Hovels bothering a little green-skin this late at night. Business? Or pleasure?"

No. The Wolfgang are not villains. Though they've appeared as such. I'm sad that Benji isn't back yet. He was a great Wolfgang supporter. At least we still have Eric and Sarge.

Very true. I think we should rig up a banner. Guts, who are you making your righthand man again?

Wow.

"This is fire." Bobby hops aboard as well, trying to get aboard the same horse as the lady with her belly showing.

They aren't hastened, and they likewise aren't enamored or blinded. My mistake, I will change his target from last round. And I don't think that's how mobs work, but they're not my creation, so maybe? Will run the round now.

Boomingham's poise also changes significantly, drawing himself up to full height and straightening his back as he's told he's the talk of the town. He grimaces upon seeing the Orc, but after exhaling deeply continues with his plan. "What were you and the green-skin chatting about?" Boomingham glares at the green-skin. "Were you giving him trouble? Or was it the other way around." Boomingham scratches his chin. "Say, what is a Rainbow knight doing so far away from the gates of the Palace? Seems like you chaps pull long shifts, strange to schlep all the way down to the Hovels afterwards."

Guffington and Lady Felix both watch with some wonder as Arthur allows his body to revert to chaotic goo. Once Arthur quiets down, Guffington clears his throat. "Right. My turn." Gerald rubs his hands together. "You're right, Hybros, you know quite a bit about me... I will have to think long and hard as to what was perhaps not in my dream." Guffington bites his lower lip. "I was born to a poor family where I was the only child, one of my early aspirations was to open up a magic shop in the High Kingdoms, and the first place in Eubric I lived was in the Hovels." Guffington crosses his arms. "What have you, heroes? Felix?" Hoke, meanwhile, glancing out at the night skies feels inspired, while Purpearl, leaning against the mast, feels blessed. And somehow all without the help of wine or soma!

Or at least buy everyone one "I'm sorry" gem.

OoC: I don't believe you have flee, so you may have to use a smoke bomb.

"This is where you can pay me back," Boomingham says, drawing his sword suddenly. "And put your money where your mouth is. Don't like the abuse of the commoners in Eubric? Let's see about Salamanda. Rex, stay behind me as well, please." Boomingham walks briskly over to the Crimson Bear and lays a hand on his shoulder. "Howdy there, chappo! What are we up to this lovely evening?"

OoC: I'd say they can't, sorry. I actually originally rolled for them to be tossed overboard as well (they both were!) but I thought about it a bit more and thought that since they aren't technically combatants with health, they shouldn't be able to be knocked overboard... the reverse of which means to me they shouldn't be able to haul you back up. Matthias is hastened, though.

Lady Felix ponders for a few seconds. "Blood relatives, gods," she says finally. Guffington scratches his chin. "I imagine it'd be easier with you, Hybros, given our history... but I can't quite guess. I believe you're people are back, but if you call them blood relations I'm not sure... as for stealing from Lady Felix, I believe that's a little too specific to be the lie, unless you're playing me against myself. So for you, I will guess dragons." "For the boy... that's more difficult. I will have to guess the second as well - the other two are, again, too specific to be a lie in my mind." He takes a sip of wine. "So, what is it?" "No dangers in the sky. As I said, once we land in Dastan, it may prove a different story. Though everyone does seem relatively concerned about the sky at this point..."
