"Master Oswain doesn't seem like one that will betray his own kind for a mere rock. Perhaps there is a lot more going on than what we imagine it is." Bain turns to glare at Mhinak, "What heresy is this? The Brown Nekrastone rightfully belongs to all inhabitants of this land! I merely said my tracking skills may be of use if you wish to track down the stone's wereabouts. How has that turned into us colluding with outsiders?" Bain growls, then narrows her eyes at the mention of the Blue Nekrastone, "Blue Nekrastone you say, in your possession?" <I trust that you will do whatever you think is right! The Guardians chose you!> "I beg to differ, I am no criminal. The truth is, the Alphieth will destroy us if they get their chance. We only seek to restore what is rightful to us. There is a difference. And our people have sacrificed much, discriminated underground, without sustainable food, and not forget our constant war with the monsters that dwell underground. What use is it if you return the stones to the Guardians, they are Alphieth's lackeys! There is no point siding with them!" "Do you know where to even look for this stone? So far only this Fenarian has offered to help and we have no reason not to believe her. Her life is at stake and she has everything to lose if she is not truthful. Also we have a group of us to keep an eye on her. There are many ways to approach this Master Mhinak, you have chosen to side with the Guardians, we have chosen to free Bain. But we have similar goals, to retrieve the Brown Nekrastone. Do you agree? Also, it also seems like multiple eyes are set upon the Blue Nekrastone. I will hold on to it until I know for sure who I can hand it over and leave this place with a peace of mind." "In the eyes of those behind the dome, us Fenarians are always the villains. We are the darkness in their light, the dark clouds amongst their starry night. Whatever your dwarf friend has just said about us, reinforces their discrimination, and that is no surprise, it has been constant for a long time, nothing's changed."

All the talk between the Guardians ceased at the mention of the Heroes returning the Blue Nekrastone, "HEROICA HAS COME TO OUR AID, ONCE AGAIN. THE TIDE HAS TURNED, GUARDIANS." "The last time Heroica came to our aid, they defeated the Fenarians and sent them fleeing back down their rabbit's hole!" "Show us the Blue Nekrastone. Master Mhinak. For I have not set my eyes on it since Star Elf traitor Shadir Oswain obsconded with the stone. After news of his death came to us, the Star Elves and us wondered its whereabouts. And I am glad that it has returned to us, by the Heroes of Heroica, once again living up to their name. Like the Brown Nekrastone, which provides the power of the earth and those who dwell around it, the Blue Nekrastone has the same effect in water. The Merfolks would gain much from the stone if they were to get their hands on it, but on land it is nothing more than a treasure. I do not know the reasons Shadir Oswain has made off with the stone, but the Star Elves had no intentions in gaining power from the Blue Nekrastone, only to protect it from those who seek to tip the delicate balance of nature." "We would only harness its power for purposes of regeneration." "THE REASON WHY I HAVE CHOSEN THESE THREE ON THE PATH OF GREAT POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY, THE PATH AS GUARDIANS OF THE BROWN NEKRASTONE." "As for your lost friend. Toren. I hate to break it to you, but if he is captured by the Merfolks, survival chances are slim if he does not know how to swim or breathe underwater. But we will find out if anything washes up the shore. One last thing, no outsiders can enter the dome as and when they please, in fact none. I am afraid that relaying the message of Heroica's arrival is the best we can do for you. Then it is up to you and your friends to figure out how to return this artifact and the Blue Nekrastone." "AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO BE MUCH ASSISTANCE TO YOUR CAUSE, THIS IS OUT OF OUR HANDS, MASTER MHINAK, THE GUARDIANS DO NOT DELVE INTO THE BUSINESS OF THE STAR ELVES." "Enough of chit chat, I still cannot get over the fact that I was defeated by the female naga and her dumb minions. I take full responsibility for losing the Nekrastone. I know my men are already at it, but I seek your permisson, Zeulord, to personally retrieve what's taken from us!" Zeulord closes his eyes for a second and reopens, "EMOTIONS ARE YOUR STRENGTH, AS YOUR WEAKNESS. YOU DID NOT LOSE TO THE NAGA, YOU LOST TO YOURSELF. PERHAPS THIS HERO CAN AID US IN OUR CAUSE." Turning to Mhinak, "WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO SAFEGUARD OUR FOREST, OUR HOME. YOUR PREDECESSORS HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES ONCE. NOW MASTER MHINAK, WILL YOU REPRESENT THE KRIMWOOD FOREST AND TO TRACK DOWN THE BROWN NEKRASTONE ON THE BEHALF OF THE GUARDIANS?"

Luck is not on the trio's side as the enemies lunge forward. Pulling out that very scroll that sets his course back onto this land, Elnath fails to activate the scroll. The mutated plant takes a bite of Miderun's arm; Naîm fails to connect his swing and that leaves him open for the Mutated Aracniredbak to plunge its claws laden with poison into the Fenarian's thigh. The Dryads each take their turn and give the party a good beating. Can the Heroes turn it around with more reinforcements? Enemies: Mutated Aracniredbak *Weakened* Type: Vermin/Humanoid Level: ??

Thanks! Things are just getting warmed up, #136-ers.

"We destroy who? Try being oppressed and discriminated for a thousand years, sounds more like we are being destroyed..." Bain rolls her eyes, "I am very aware of what will happen to us all if we do not get out of here immediately and I am relieved that you are enlightened." Inki shakes its head, <No letting pale skin down! I will leave it to the Guardians if I were you!> "Heroica..." Bain laughs haughtily, "How about the group of you take heed from Master Naîm? His words are the wisest I have heard thus far. He has even got Heroica on our side." Turning to Naîm, "Lord Fenari will be pleased with your achievements Master Naîm," <Sorry I do not know any Merfolk! And I do not think anyone in this forest does. Perhaps the Guardians! You can try! Anyway, it is late now, you can come with me!> Mhinak follows Inki to meet the Guardians, Miderun and Naîm decide to save Bain, leaving the rest of the party undecided. "Great way to distract the Guardians as we save Naîm's friend. I will follow you, Miderun." As the trio approaches Bain, the eyes of the Dryads begin to glow into an eerie red and the shrubs behind begin to rustle restlessly. A giant mutated spider crawls through the branches and one of the flower pods nearby turns out to be a grossly mutated plant trap. Miderun, Naîm and Elnath are outnumbered, however the withdrawal effects of the Brown Nekrastone had their foes significantly weakened. "The rest of you, we have a pest situation here!" Calls out Elnath, to the rest of the party. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! Enemies: Mutated Aracniredbak *Weakened* Type: Vermin/Humanoid Level: ??

There is more greenery and vegetation are less colourful. As the duo comes to a halt just outside a small clearing in the forest, Mhinak notices four enormous beings gathered around, deep in conversation. Inki approaches and lowers its head, <Inki, the Panther Warrior, requests to speak with the Guardians.> Of the four that turn around, only the Treant responds to Inki, "SPEAK. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEEK, LITTLE ONE." A loud and deep voice resonates through the ground. Inki raises its head, still gazing at the ground, <Guardians of the Krimwood Forest, I have brought forth, Mhinak, an ally from beyond, who has kindly offered assistance to retrieve the lost Nekrastone. He also wishes to return... borrow... release... something... rroarw...> Shivering in fear, Inki turns its head at Mhinak, speaking at a low voice, <I forgot why are you here in the first place...> The treant roars, "THE PATH THAT YOU SEEK WILL NOT UNRAVEL UNLESS YOU SPEAK WITH CONVICTION." What will Mhinak do? Party With The Guardians: Mhinak (Goliath) 40 Year Old Male Dwarf Ranger Level 5 Power: 13 (5+8) Health: 10/10 (6+4) Gold: 255 Equipment: Red Handcannon (WP: 8) Inventory: Wooden Hand Cannon (WP: 3), Potion, Smoke Bomb, Phoenix Essence, Bone, Bedroll, Shovel, Pickaxe, and Telescope [Left Eye], Merman Stylish Gel (Deals Enamoured effect to female gender; consumable)

The fenarian's eye widens, "Those scaly fools?" Letting out a muted laugh, "We have noticed their presence, they are swift and organised and hard to track down but they are not a threat to us. Their activities on the surface has only opened up more opportunities for us..." "If you do not already know, the moment you set foot into this forest, you are being watched. Let along crushing every vegetation under your feet, you've already caused massive intrusion. The Guardians are just one of Alphieth's lackeys that they control, and they do their bidding to the tee. The whole consortium of smug show no mercy and are vile in their words and actions. It won't be long before they arrive, and nothing good will come of it." "Wise decision. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Those scaly fools have done all the hard work for us." The Fenarian smirks, "It wouldn't be long before they are hunted down by the Guardians and the Star Elves. We just need to get to those scaly-fools before they do..." "Ga. Bain Ga, the Gatherer. As you see, barely anything grows under the surface. Any fertile land left within these lands are beyond those magical barriers that the Alphieths have selfishly kept to themselves. Our people are starving and we sustain ourselves on whatever we can gather. And it is not all safe underground, we were constantly attacked by monsters that dwell underground. Women, younglings were captured and ransomed for our little food stores we have. There is war waged constantly underground and there is no end." Bain sighs, "We are left with no choice but to risk our lives and emerge to the surface to forage for food." Bain's eye reddens with anger, "Curse the Star Elves, curse Latte Oswain. Another selfish and smug lackey of the Alphieth. The Guardians of the forest are under his control, and he is the worst amongst the family of nobles. He got wind of our demise and expanded the Spesialian territories to keep us out, and imprisons any Fenarian trespassers. If you think that is the end, you think too highly of him. He holds them to the gallows and make unreasonable demands from us, such as food supplies, weapons, tools, anything that will enable us to farm and gather to sustain ourselves. Despite this, for the sake of our survival, Eckmar and I decided to risk it for our people, what is two lives compared to our extinction? Unfortunately, we were ambushed by the Guardians and it wouldn't be long before we were tortured.... " "Oswain..." Fiddling with the seal, "If what you said is true, Lady Ga, why would be Guardians entrust us to find the lost Brown Nekrastone for them? When they have the aid of the Star Elves?" directing his question to the party. "Do not trust anyone that are allies with the Star Elves. They are many." Inki gives a puzzled look at Naîm, not understanding a word he's saying. "How wise, Master ...?" "Who are you calling -myr?" Bain's face reddens with rage, "Besides, it is more likely that the Alphieth will destroy us before we can even help it." <If you want to meet the Guardians, I will lead you to them right now! And leave the pale-skin to us!> Letting out a loud growl that resonates into the forests, attracting the attention of the Dryads, that gathers around the cocoon, preventing the party to get close. Bain gets incredibly agitated, "Cut me loose and let's get out of this god-forsaken place, I will share the little I have with everyone. I can also track down the whereabouts of the Brown Nekrastone. You do not want to face the Guardians and the Star Elves, have you forgotten you have one of us amongst yourselves? Trust me, it is suicide." Will the party follow Inki to meet the Guardians? Or will they engage the Dryads to save Bain Ga?

"Without the Brown Nekrastone keeping it alive, the forest is indeed vulnerable. That is aside from enraging the Guardians, which I am more concerned about." Inki leaps back and forth anxiously at Mhinak's suggestion to free the Fenarian, <No! The Guardians will be upset if I let you do so! She was caught digging the ground and fiddling with her pockets like a couple of you did! Rest assured everything will be fine when the Guardians hand her over to the Star Elves for further punishment!> Inki's eyes widen, <Are you willing to help us retrieve the Brown Nekrastone from the were-snakes? Then you should meet the Treemaster and the other guardians! They are the ones who are in charge of retrieval! The Star Elves couldn't be the ones who took the Brown Nekrastone, they protect us from those pale-skins like this one on the tree!> "No doubt the were-snakes are the ones causing the trouble, but I am sure that the brains behind this is the Naga." Elnath shrugs, "Fenarians were once Star Elves, who is it to decide whether to use or conserve?" The Fenarian directs her gaze at Naîm as he speaks in Fenarian tongue, and heaves a sigh of relief, and speaks, voice still muffled and weak, "I assume our Supreme Leader and Lord, Angma Fenari entrusted you the mission to retrieve us from the wretched hands of the Star Elves. I know where the others are, we need to move quickly before the Star Elves and their consortium arrives. I am impressed, however, to disguise your party as wandering seafarers, but I have not seen you around as one of his trusted aides. Perhaps our wise leader has his own will in this." "Why is this four legged demon doing with you, Fenarian? They are the eyes and ears of the Star Elves, do not be fooled!" <Apologies accepted!> Shaking its head and body vigorously as it breaks free from Germ.

I will just assume Mhinak did all the translations for the party. Responding to Mhinak, <Tell your friends that I know the difference between were-snakes and nagas! Nagas have tails and were-snakes don't!> Inki raises its chain, <Pale skin lady, one, your green friend (Miderun), two, your other humanoid friend (Kiray), three, and another lady with the were-snakes, four! She is fairer than your other humanoid friend (Kiray) and wears long flowing outer covering, I just assumed she has two legs, since I couldn't get under that thick cloak.> Inki snarls when it hears about Germ's proposition about eliminating the were-snakes, <Silly-putty! Not even our guardians can stop them from stealing the life-source that keeps this forest alive, and your friend is ten-times smaller in size! And if you do not already know, and I am not supposed to tell strangers anyway, the Treemaster's Heirloom is the Brown Nekrastone! That's all I know and if you want to see the pale-skinned lady on display, she is not far away from here! I can bring you there!> Elnath speaks in a low voice, "The forests used to be more vibrant than this. From what I had gathered, the Brown Nekrastone gives the power of regeneration, and without it, the forest has no life force. And I agree with Naîm, the powers of regeneration has its costs, perhaps mutating some of the resident creatures in the process, otherwise they are harmless unless provoked. I have heard stories. There was once where the forests extend far beyond where it is now, until the war between the Star Elves and Fenarians destroyed most of the fertile land. The forests were neutral in the conflict, but once The Guardian of the forest, also known as the Treemaster, found the Brown Nekrastone and attempted to regenerate the forests to its former glory, it attracted the Fenarians' attention. The Treemaster and the other guardians it had appointed defended against the Fenarians time and time again, until that fateful day, when the Fenarians sent a massive undead army at the forests and towards the Star Elves' capital. The Treemaster and the guardians couldn't hold off the undead, and were to the brink of defeat. Fortunately, the Star Elves came to their rescue and pushed the Fenarians back underground. Since then, an alliance was formed between the Guardians of the Forest and the Star Elves. The Guardians protected the Brown Nekrastone and the Star Elves patrol the borders of the forests." Turning to Kiray, "I do not think these creatures are dangerous unless we threaten their existence like those Fenarians did to them." Mhinak attempts to look towards the East while making its way up the branches, but his gaze was disturbed by the sudden thug from Miderun. Mhinak did not manage to spot any were-snakes or nagas, but could only make out two armoured humanoids facing a tree that moves from time to time. Germ decides to shove around, and finds a bottle of venom. Inki growls, <Mhinak! Tell your friends to stop digging! If not you will end up like that pale-skinned lady! I will show you what will happen to you if you continue to do what you do!> Inki leaps into the dense forests and leads the party into the forest. <There she is! So stop digging or you all will end up like her!> From a distance, the party could see a pale-skinned humanoid cocooned up in spider web. Some wriggling could be seen, with occasional noises coming from the cocoon. On the forest floor, dryads could be seen tending to the dying flowers and vegetation, seemingly ignoring the cocoon. At a sudden, the party caught the pale skinned humanoid's attention and gazes at the party from afar with her blood shot eyes. The humanoid begins to wriggle more violently and make louder noises, this time the party could recognise that the voices are feminine. "Help me" A soft muted voice coming through her hood. <Mhinak! Tell your friends to stay back! Pale skin's awake! I will call for help!> Inki widens its jaw, preparing to make a loud growl... What will the party do?

Yes, only rangers can converse with and understand the cub (translations in green). It is up to you to relay the information to the others.

QM Note: Please note, there should be Four two legged female humanoids, instead of three.

"I have to, how much choice do I have left?" Germ could feel magical energies emitted by the tree and the mushrooms, although they are diminishing in intensity. As the rogue inspects the mushrooms, the panther cub leaps infront of him and bears its milk teeth, <rr-raorw…> <No picking! Unless you want to end up like that pale skinned lady, making a ruckus, disturbing our peace!> The panther cub then tunnels under Germ’s cloak and quickly emerges, <You’re not the scaly one,> the panther cub purrs. “The seal belongs to the Star Elves that’s for sure, but the stone…” Elnath trails off, “I assumed it would be Star Elves, but the party has different views on that, so it is still debatable at this point.” The young cub prowls towards the ranger, <I am Inki the panther warrior to-be!> bearing its milk teeth at the party, <Did those filthy were-snakes send you to apologise for stealing the Treemaster’s heirloom? If so, return the Brown Nekrastone and say sorry!> Inki leaps behind the trunk as Naîm pokes the root, causing it to wither. As the cleric inspects the tree, he finds several sturdy branches on the trunk that will enable him to get him up the tree. As Naîm swats the branches, the tree begins to grumble and vibrate gently, the party could hear soft whispers echoing into the forest, as if the forest is alive. <Ggrr-roaw…> <Ek! Pale skin brought more reinforcements! I knew it! The were-snakes and pale skins are in this together! First they steal our Treemaster’s Heirloom, now they are coming back for more!> Turning to Mhinak, <Tell your friends to stop whatever they're doing, our forest is dying!> Inki remains behind the tree trunk, looking rather guarded. As Kiray digs away, Inki begins to count its paws, <rr-o-oaw...rr-o-aw> <One, two, and three and four! Four two-legged female humanoids I have seen today!> Kiray finds 5 pieces of gold.

"No problem." Polly nods at the Heroes, "Help me look after The Prospector, do not lose sight of him." She goes forth and hugs Elnath, "Be safe." "I am not a kid, Polly. I know how to take care of myself, besides with six skilled Heroes with me, what can go wrong?" "A crack is a crack, doesn't bother me if I can help it, He--" Feeling his cracked arm once more. "Might not be that lucky, Germ. The Star Elves are known to be hostile, it is not ideal to get off the wrong foot with them before we even make it to shore." Turning to Hung, "We'll anchor here. We've reached the North East of Spesialia, a couple of hours off Fenario by land. We can make shore by foot, the waters here should be shallow enough to waddle through. Lannisters, Polly, stay vigilant, the ship is far enough for you to spot any incoming threat inland, should that happen, release the anchor and sail off to Baltarok and identify yourself as traders, there you should be safe." "Your wish is my command." Hung lumbers towards the bow and effortlessly hurls the iron anchor off board. As the party prepares to disembark, Lyrion approaches the cabin and hammers on the door repeatedly, almost beating the cabin door down. "Wake up, Naîm. I hate to interrupt your sweet dreams but your dreams has become a reality right now. We've reached Spesialia." As the party gathers at the shore after three days at sea, they are greeted with the luscious vegetation that thrives by the coastline. The trees and shrubs glisten under the afternoon rays from the sun. The Heroes look left and right at where they are, the vegetation appears thick and dense along the coastline of Spesialia, forming a natural barrier against storms and preserving its shoreline at the same time. The Heroes could not ascertain how far this natural barrier extends inland, but it is certainly no wasteland or ruins. "If I am not wrong, this should be the forest surrounding the dome and the capital should not be too far away from here. Remember Heroes, we are here to return Shadir Oswain's seal and to protect the Nekrastone until we return it to its rightful owner(s), whoever he, she, they, it may be. And perhaps any sign of Toren's body if he washes up the sho--..." Before Elnath could finish his sentence, a panther cub leaps out of the dense shrubs and approaches the Heroes stealthily, <rrrr-r-aow...> What will the party do?

"Bait for... more talking fish?" Lyrion raises his arm, revealing a small crack inflicted by the Merfolk earlier, "No thank you Hero." Naîm expends 6 ether as he patches up his party members. "Of course you do, this is where you used to grow up" says Polly bluntly, as she looks away. "We can land anywhere, but we don't want to be seen as intruders, nor do we want to be misunderstood as one. And we need to have a vessel to return home with, so probably North East of Spesialia." Elnath points to the cabin below, "Please, do as you wish, I believe the cabin is spared from the mess we have out here." "If we anchor far out at sea, we should be fine alone. Not to imagine if someone were to hijack our ship if we were to come with you, there will be no return journey for all of us. But you are right Naîm, Germ, we do not want to face the Naga, or more Merfolks, defenceless." "What do you think we should do?" Hung queries the party.

From the way it is worded, my understanding is that Miracle affects the whole party, so it is either all or none. I could be wrong, since the rule change is only recent. But you can heal anyone you prefer outside battle to full health for 1 ether each.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Elnath gains 1/3 level, Miderun, Kiray, Bobby, Polly gain 1/2 level each, Germ, Mhinak, Naîm gain 1 level each. As The Eyrie sails out of the storm, the sea has become calmer and the weather has become icy cold. Elnath, relieved that his ship is still in one piece, climbs onto the upper deck and takes over the helm. As he surveys the area around them, he gathers the party around, "Where are we..." "Heroes, we are just coming out of Helvetian Ocean, Spesialia is imminent. Please gather your belongings and prepare for disembarkation. Polly and I will follow you" says Elnath in a monotonous fashion, clearly still affected by the loss of Toren. "Hung and I will stay behind to mind the ship. We will wait for your return, meanwhile, leave the clean-up to us. These Merfolks have wrecked and contaminated our supplies, it will definitely take some time to get The Eyrie back into shape, especially with these disgusting Squid and Merfolk goo lying around.

"If someone were to constantly comment on your every thought and movement you make, even it is less than persecutory, even the most intelligent being on Olegaia would lose the ability to pull it together. From experience." Purpearl shrugs. "That is for whoever's chosen to find out."

"Dragged away?!" Elnath shakes his head, "There is still hope that Toren might be alive, if they are after the Nekrastone. The Merfolk might use him as a bargaining tool, or worse, if they decide to extract information directly from him. Either way, my efforts to keep us invisible, at least until we reach Spesialia, has gone down the drain. We have to be vigilant from now." "I never expect things to escalate at such a rapid rate. Some of the these we cannot control, but let's focus on keeping my vessel afloat." "Why would the Genius Grenius reveal it to you, if Mo's pulling down your ship in no time?" Grenius lets out an evil grin, "And all that shine will be ours."

"Have to agree with Skrall on that one." Purpearl approaches, "So far we've heard only one side of the story, there has to be more than just dragons behaving off their chops." says the mystic knight as she begins to polish her Zelphie Staff.

With her staff on one hand, Purpearl walks towards the great double doors of Heroica and pulls them to a close. As she places her free hand on the door, she notices the great locks and wonders if anyone ever locks them, “Just in case it rains.” says Purpearl as she turns around and heads upstairs.

Fixed.

Elnath overhears Naîm and sulks, "I may be old, but I am not deaf. No one in family is good riddance. I am disappointed to hear such insensitive words, especially from Heroes like yourself. Granted, it may not be wise to save him under such difficult circumstances, but doesn't mean we just erase him from our memories and move on as if he isn't part of us at all." Turning to Miderun, "I appreciate that, although that is risky. But I am glad you are fine." "I am not convinced that he is lost until I see his body!" Polly angrily shakes her head in denial.
