OoC: Where's your 'conniving fellow' now? "Wait, what?! Don't leave me with Periwinkle again. Can't the little rat stay with her 'boo' Eric instead?!?!"

"I know, I know, I'm the worthiest around. Now, this scythe is just too heav- I mean, it makes me look barbaric. I can clearly lift it with my overflowing muscles, but it's just not practical. Could you turn it into a dagger, please?." He then starts thinking about other genies he met before. "Out of pure curiosity, do you know of someone by the name of Djinniffer? She owes me something. If you could summon her or something, that would be great." He then sells his Scrap Metals, his Rat Wand and the mighty Pitchfork of Abomination. "Maybe to those amazing kebabs at Kabob's? I don't think it's that fancy for a date, though, so please don't tear me to pieces if I don't know of any other food-places." "Good riddance indeed! In fact, I've got this creepy red beast that I found. Can you lock it up immediately, please?" "You told me quite a bit of idiotic stuff in the time that we were together. Please specify." The sorcerer turns to the other heroes and explains his plans. "Okay, people, here's the deal. I'm gonna go to the Holy District so I can get my book and Poppyshittle can go report to Aunt Ovelia. Maybe I could even bring Hymne-sassy to these music idiots that Boo-ming-hun talked about earlier. After that, I am probably going to the Luxor Dunes once again so I can meet Marmaduc, the great killer of beast-lovers, and then go to the Resort. I don't know what I'm gonna do after that." "So, anyone wanna come with me?"

Heckz then looks at the wererhino. He doesn't particularly feel like being torn to pieces by a ravenous beast and comes to the conclusion than acting nice will keep him alive. He gives Rex the Cactus Flower and a Garnet. "There. Something nice and something spiky that looks like a flower. Now you just need to take her out for dinner."

"Thanks, you're a peach. It's all for the greater good, of course. The greater good of getting those 'kebabs' that are full of calories but are tasty nonetheless."

"I believe I still need my book, so priorities first. That genie over there is intriguing me, though, so I might just go there for a while. And do any of you have some meat lumps or something like that? I need those. And please don't make the vulgar joke that would be made after that question." Heckz goes to the Dream Forge.

"Pff, 'Lapis Lazuli'. What a stupid name." Heckz waits for as long as he should for the other heroes to arrive at the port. Mainly because he was tired of being alone with Periwinkle.

Heckz was really bored by all this. "Whatever you say, huns. Ciao!" Heckz looks at his map, and the Daystar Tower was something that piked his interest. Circle of Mages, harlotry, he might as well just be one of those people who could do anything. "Look, Poori, first I want to check these so called mages out. Then you'll go to the dear old temple and I'll get my dear book." Heckz approaches the guard from the Daystar Tower. "Any chance that I might learn some new magic tricks?"

"As long as 'doing good' also means good for me, then it's on the top of the list of my priorities, boo." Heckz figures that eavesdropping won't do him any good since there was no one else around except for that green clad guard. He gets near the sisters. "Hey, boos. I was escorting this one novice who apparently got lost and now we can't find the Temple. We know our way, though. So, what are you guys doing here, anyway? I am just so curious about the 'Sisters of Danab' since white is obviously the new black." He could barely say those last few words.

And, of course, I just forgot to put that Heckz was a half elf from the beginning. Can't you see his blonde hair?

Heckz goes to The Port even though he looks like royalty and should obviously go through the Palace District. "Come, Pooriwinkle, we have business to attend to." All the loot goes to Heckz.

Na'im heals Mhinak while one of his and Nalguz's hits are blocked by the defender, who is being struck by Boris. The Smokemaster, who is not doing so good at getting rid of the heroes, starts to bleed. Or, in his case, smoke comes leaking out and sends out less light than before. "I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD, MASTER." "I knew they shouldn't have sent me with the interns. They have seen you fight and you are not killing them properly, you brainless fool! It's all in the training."

Heckz turns to Periwinkle. "Can't do it without the help of Eric and the others, huh? I'm worth 50 of your useless brains, so next time you just go ahead and don't underestimate me." Heckz heads to the Temple of Danab, in the Holy District.

OoC: You guys want to reunite now or can I go and pick up the book? We'll meet up later, of course.

I actually thought about a quest idea for witches and a coven of it, and the leader of it would just be someone who has 'Hex Bombs' and acts like he really is a witch when he knows he isn't. I'm not making a quest like that anytime soon, though, so anyone can take that idea.

Heckz casts two water spells at Dune Ghoul A from the back row. Periwinkle heals Dune Ghoul A. Phred phrows a Stone at Dune Ghoul C. Battle Order: Heckz Heckz Periwinkle Phred

QM Note: Cannot bleed? Just because he is a fiery monster doesn't mean he can't leak smoke out or something, equality for all! Actually, I forgot to also make it a humanoid. Sorry. QM Note: Nope. Don't worry, though, the dog direwolf is not the only way to trigger bleeding... Round One of the Red-y To Fight: >Boris vs. Red Assassin Smokemaster Red Assassin Defender - Miss Warkboofhine bites the Red Assassin Defender (Defender: 45 health-(2-2= 0 damage)= 45 health and somehow Bleeding by 1) >Rhyszicz vs. Red Assassin Leader - Aim (Leader: 38 health-(5 damage)= 33 health) >Germ vs. Red Assassin Leader - Hit (Leader: 33 health-(7+3= 10 damage)= 23 health and minus 1 level) >Mhinak vs. Red Assassin Smokemaster - Damage (Mhinak: 8 health-(4 fire elemental damage)= 4 health; Smokemaster -1 ether) >Nalguz tries to join the Red Assassins when they are not offering intership - Damage (Nalguz: 9 health-(3 damage)= 6 health) >Na'im vs. Red Assassin Leader Red Assassin Defender - Hit (Defender: 45 health-(3+3-2= 4 damage)= 41 health) Red Assassin Leader and Defender- Bleeding by 1 (minus 1 health) Boris tries to crush the smokemaster but the defender steps in his way and in the confusion, he misses. Warkboofhine's bite doesn't really do much to the other dwarf but it does start a bleeding. Rhyszicz shoots an arrow at the actual assassin along with Germ, who throws a wrench at the elf's face. It's quite funny. The 'fireman' let's loose a hot fireball at Mhinak. Nalguz tries to join the Red Assassins, and the leader takes his chance to hit him in the face. Na'im also gets blocked by the defender, but atleast he actually hits her. The Enemy: Red Assassin 'Leader' "What is this?

"Phred, can you write a message in the sand so that I can let the other heroes know we were here? Thanks, you're a peach."

Phred writes 'The Most Fabulous Man Alive was Here with His Minions' in the sand from the back row. Battle Order: Heckz Heckz Peri Phred

As the party argues, they could some seriousness on the elf's face. It was a nice break from the 'no emotion' on his face before. "Time waits for no one, and your time is up." PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Don't worry, the party will regroup... eventually... one of these days...

"YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RED ASSASSINS, AND NOTHING OF THE BURDEN THAT COMES WITH BEING THE MOST PROFFESIONAL AROUND. AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY 'PLAN TO MURDER US ALL WHEN WE TURN', WE ARE NOT BLUE ASSASSINS." "No. There is no possible way to save Zug unless we waste the cure on him. Alas, sacrifices must be made. And we would have of course taken Ralli's soul off of this world, too bad you were there to to interrupt the vengeance. The main job here was to get the elixir for research, not revenge." "We believe the alchemist gave Zug an impossible mission and so the Red Death fell upon him. And the only thing that needs saving here is the potion, and in the future, we will also need the old man's corpse." "Ye should list'n to that sm'rtie th're." She then puts on a serious look. "So, ye w'nt gold or not? M'ke it quick, we're on a schedule." "Heroez..." What will the party do?

Heckz casts a makes Dune Ghoul B wet both by magic and because it was enamoured. He then does the same to Dune Ghoul C. All from the back row. Phred phrows a Stone at Dune Ghoul A from the back row. Battle Order: Heckz Heckz Periwinkle Phred

"Ha! Nephew? What did that old fool tell you about Zug? He was one of our best members, and a true assassin. Unlike others..." He stares at the being made of fire and the dwarf. "Anyhow, let us begin." "'Tis the tale of a heartless bastard that is!" "Ehem. To begin, they sent Zug to get instructions from a contract. Normally, we would get it from a letter, but this man needed to say the exact specifications for some reason. They figured as he was an alchemist then it would be normal of the client to ask this. They quickly became aware of Zug not being out in the streets or somewhere, and they too heard of the man kidnapping Zug. They s-" "HUH? I THOUGHT A SPY SAW THE NOTICE AT THE HEROICA HALL." "You imbecile! As you might see, instead of brains this foul creature has ash and smoke." The fiery being shuts up. "Where were we? Ah, yes, the kidnapping. They sent an elite member to deal with this, and that one never came back. Now all they want is the potion and, optionally, Doctor Rillo's corpse. We obviously couldn't deal with the corpse when five armed men were guarding the small house. Now, we can still all win if you go ahead and murder that sadistic mixologist. 500 gold will be waiting for you right here, if you do." There isn't a trace of a smile on Rhyszicz face, and apparently the direwolf was growling. "Zorry, but you kill contractorzez and I and Warkboofhine are not help. You not know honor?" How would the party respond?

And just like that, Heckz feels the power flowing through him. Heckz splashes some water at Dune Ghoul A first and then at Dune Ghoul B. All from the back row. Periwinkle does nothing. 'cause she's useless. Phred picks up his stone. Battle Order: Heckz Heckz Periwinkle Phred
