Zepher

I think that's fitting. I always like to honor the original QM to introduce a species. Everyone has always been very generous with my stupid speech pattern for U'Kin. Though this Lusticoid seems to be speaking not in common, so perhaps that explains why he's less halting.

"Ovelia? She was the one who's all business, all pleasure, right? Look, no need to get all edgy. I came with them, but that's all, and I've got to keep them safe. So as long as you're not planning on offing any of the ladies from Eubric, me and you folks can be pals too. Doesn't matter to me much who ends up the head sister or whatever you call it." Boomingham smiles reassuringly. "Good to meet you, Kree, Dunyazah, Ulrica." He beams particularly at Ulrica. "I'm sorry to disturb you at the end of such a long day, and I know you're strangers to the city too, but I'd love to ask your opinion of a thing or two. Namely, where do you think a poor chap like me could pick some flowers? Do those look up for grabs to you?" he indicates the flowers at the center of the square. "For a lady friend. And who are the guards of the palace? Nice reasonable chaps, or are they also all business and no fun?"

Boomingham glances at the musicians wearily, and decides to leave them be at least for the moment. He takes a glance at the flower garden, and then at the guards, and then at the garden again, and then at the sisters and decides to approach who he considers the friendly faces in the area. With a big grin and a friendly wave he walks up to the sisters. "Hello sisters! Allow me to introduce myself - I am Lord Lawrence T. Boomingham, whole long list of boring titles, slayer of this and that and King of a Lost Kingdom - I had the pleasure of accompanying some of your numbers from Eubric Freeport, and enjoyed every moment with them. I am pleased to see more of your numbers. If I might inquire to your names?" He bows. "It would be a great honor."

Basically I'll just echo what others said, but highlight the points I think are most important. It wasn't a bad quest by any means, but it felt very flat and standard. Nothing happened once we got to town - we just fought off three waves of foes, and that was it. Quest over. So, some advice: You said I didn't interact with the NPCs much, and you're 100% correct. It's because I felt there wasn't really a chance. If the quest had taken place over 3 days, let's say, and the towns folk approached us each evening... then we'd be getting somewhere. Let's say one of them is pissed that we let the first two bandits go, and another one tries to calm him down. That would give us something to bounce off of, and it would define the NPCs more. As far as the NPCs go... there was that spider lady who owned a bar, which was cool but we never got to revisit her, and then there was a smith, and someone who took us into town on a stagecoach... Another thing, and a few QMs slack off on this and I think it's really important to building a world: time and place. Did the quest take place over a long day? Was there a night? What happened in the night? Where did we stay? I thought they said Cole would arrive "tomorrow" but I didn't know we had reached tomorrow yet. And, as others have said, but it bares repeating, too much loot. Too much specific loot, but even too much loot in general. The characters... I've quested with almost all of you before, and I had a blast. I love Vind. Very different, Heroica needs more highly moral religious zealots in my opinion. I like how peaceful he is except when he isn't. Great character. Mide brings some much needed Orc blood and tradition into Heroica. Annie is fun - its tough for me because she won't see past my word usage and I won't stop using the words, so I'm afraid of it becoming a bit of a one note relationship, but we'll see. Warlen was hard to interact with sometimes, particularly because he too was hard to track in space - sometimes he'd join a conversation I didn't know he was near! But over all, interested to see where he goes. He's got a lot of character, just needs some honing. But I like his bravado manner. I had fun! Some of my lack of interaction was my own life as well, so I absolutely apologize for that.

"I'm alive," grunts Abel as he rolls over. "Finish what you must. Benson, you still have a chance to stand down." "Silence, demon." "We don't all have your protection, Monk," growls Yu Shu from her spot at the wall. She takes a staggering step forward. "Say the word, and I'll join you in cutting the mage down." "Stay put."

And she is a perversion of Ennoc. That much you're right about." He wipes his brow. "Even then, I cannot fight them. I can heal, though." He looks at Yu Shu. "Will I regret getting her back on her feet?"

"I don't doubt you killed her. This is the darkness we must stand against. The type that kills and corrupts."

We will accompany you out of this compound and ensure that you come to no harm... and that you do not harm others. After that I will let Ennoc judge you." He turns to the mage. "Stand down." "Your not my commander. Bella is." "Surely if Ennoc wished to retain her services, he would have stood by her." "Sometimes Ennoc cannot stand against the darkness. Traitor." The mage fires a blast of light that takes everyone totally off their guard. Ser Abel is hit in the chest and stumbles backwards, eyes wide with shock, before keeling over backwards.

Boomingham glances at Eric. "You sticking with grumpy peg leg over there, or you want to see some of the nicer bits of the city?" Boomingham marches off towards the Palace District.

Bobby waved good bye to Miderun cheerfully. "See you at home, Midie!" He tosses the Twin Sai to Vind. "Thanks man, you've always got my back. You're the diggity dog. Want to walk home together and have a chat? It's a long trip. I'll pack some cheese and bread or something."

"Don't think we'll be welcome to the palace quite yet, but I'm headed that way myself anyway."

"Yo, your mom sounds like a smart lady, and she raised an ace of a daughter. Maybe she and my mom should chill some time. Do you think Heroica has any parties or what not where we get to bring our parents to hang with us?"

"Yo, Vind, don't look at me man. My mother taught me a saying when I was just a kid: you get what you get, and you don't get upset! I stick by that shiz. Whatever's gucci." OoC: Seriously, I'm purposely planning Bobby's trajectory as little as possible, so whatever works for you! I will be picking my advanced class based solely on how Bobby is equipped/how I'm feeling that he's feeling, so I don't need anything in particular to fortify a specific "build".

"I've got a bit of a hunch about one of the ladies who I travelled here with. She reminds me of someone I met at a ball not too long ago. Call it an old warrior's gut instinct, but tell me, I shouldn't be to worried about Aunt Easter, huh? She's a strong enough lady to handle herself, what, considering the family she comes from." Boomingham chuckles. "Too bad the old broad didn't feel like saying hello to an old friend or helping us with the sirens. Don't know why she's putting up all the smoke and mirrors. Didn't even know she was a sister." "But, Hels, do I just ask you a question? You don't just sort of see the future? You can hone in on this or that. Strange. Tell you what, I'll bring you more gold for a better future telling, but for the time being, if you were looking for a flower, a nice dinner and a nice little trinket for a lady friend, where would you go? You might not even need your gift for that one." Boomingham pauses, looking at the woman. "And if you don't mind my asking, what's your name, priestess?"

"You say that, but who shall be the first to stand down? You continue your attack, I am forced to continue mine. And your knight says nothing."

Boomingham bows once more. "Rex has asked me to see that your wish is my command. I believe he said something about collecting beautiful trinkets for you just as we were parting ways. I am certain everything will work out. I swear on my heart, he is a true soul." Boomingham bows a second or third or fourth time (who can recall) as he steps away from Rhiannon. He looks at the Oracle. "May I have a word, lovely? I believe one of the veterans of my Hall is a priestess of your order. I have great respect for her, and would love to meet someone else of her talents." OoC: Just out of curiosity, is this the "Sanctuary" or is that elsewhere in the Holy District?

"Just gotta show them the ropes first time round, I'm sure."

"It is your very same lousy husband who has sent me on my current quest. I met him while wandering the city, and despite my best efforts I could not even get him to so much as smile. He lamented to me how he had wounded his poor wife's heart, and he could never be content until that wound was healed. Now, see, I'm a married man myself, and I understand that marriage is difficult. Problems come up. But I have never met a more earnestly apologetic man for his crimes than your husband. He simply wishes to see you again, to prove himself worthy of your forgiveness."

Bobby repeats. "This shiz is easy peasy, yo! We gotta save towns more often, Vind."

"Hail, m'lady!" Boomingham bows deeply to Rhiannon, but keeps an eye on the priestess of what he assumes is the Oracle. He recalls, briefly, his last run-in with the Sand Queen and her brusque manner... but nows not the time for that. He tries his best, as he always does, to be diplomatic. "Are you perhaps the lovely Rhiannon that I have heard so very much about? My name is Lord Lawrence T. Boomingham, King of the Lost Kingdom, Slayer of the Eternal Reaper and Steerpike the Poisoner and I guess the Queen of the Sirens as well, now. I would be honored if you granted me audience."

"Got to drink it here, right?" Boomingham places the gold on the counter and downs the drink. "Thank you for the tips, chap. I'll be sure to check them out." Boomingham turns to his traveling companions. "Like I said, I'll meet you at the beach! Don't have too much fun without me." And with that Boomingham returns to the Holy District and the area outside the Great Library.
