Cutcobra

The party decides to take a complicated, stealthy plan, but unfortunately that wasn't too effective when they were probably facing assassins with a reputation and the fact that a being with eight legs could be easily noticed by anyone. All the so called assassins take a defensive stance, with the bearded one lifting a shield and a handcannon, the strange fiery one rising his arms and puffing up a smoke, and the last one simply taking out a sharp dagger. "Wait, mercenaries! Before we go the easy way and have to murder each of you, hear us out. We are on a rush, and you could possibly be in a gold rush if you listen. Let us explain first. You should know the crimes this so called alchemist did." "YOU BETTER DO AS HE SAYS. I DO HATE SPENDING ETHER ON PITIFUL BEINGS." What will the party do?

Oh, okay. And, like Pyrovisionary, I think I also just got it.

Does he know who she is because she actually appears on a previous quest or is it because of some secret-y PM stuff we shall never know about?

"I telled already. I iz look to kill 'crazy hippie druid'. Contractorzez pay very very gold. You already killed her, but." "Zoundz like all lordz in diz zity, if you azk I." "Juzt the normal ztuff. You never heared of them? They like, very very good at kill. I would not mezz with they." He then shakes his head, as if he is trying to get the thought of these 'Red Assassins' out of his head. "Not very. The otherz have alzo two legz. And it zmell like zmoke here." "Cure? But remediez zave everything, yez?" Night comes, and as they keep on following Rhyszicz, they hear crackling fire coming from afar. They come close to an entrance of a small kind of cave. They see three figures, and Rhyszicz signals them to hide in the bushes and says 'shhh' with his finger. "...it quick! Those bodyguards were unexpected, and I bet they are coming for us right now!" "Calm yer horses, man! I got m'head knocked on that therr wall from beforr. Plus, ye're bloody bleeding!" "EVEN IF THEY DO COME, WE BROUGHT THAT GOLD, DIDN'T WE?" "You sub-divisions are the worst mistake we have ever made." What will the party do?

"Sorry, literal boos, but you messed with the Ghostbuster!" Says Heckz in a way to impress the kid, and then uses a Lovely Perfume before magicking a stream of water at Dune Ghoul A from the back row. Periwinkle attacks Dune Ghoul B from the back row. Phred phrows a Stone at Dune Ghoul C from the back row. Battle Order: Heckz Peri Phred

Heckz puts on a fake smile once again. "You want to see monsters, kiddo? You are seeing one right now. It's dressed in white and blue clothes." I ain't fighting a cactus again until I get another Nostrum... Heckz pulls out the Old Teddy bear and acts like he is fighting it, throwing explosions of darkness all around the toy but being careful not to harm it or the others. If that doesn't work, he will drink a Smelling Salts, a Mead and give Periwinkle a Phoenix Essence. Then he heads out to find easy prey that could be of almost no danger, if possible. ;

I am in the quest, though... *looks at Pyrovisionary and Khorne* BACK TO WORK! EDIT: By the way guys, I just realized we can use a Magic Compass to find Esther and we would be done with it. I'm too busy making a pharpharian happy, though, so if any of you can try to do it...

"Common beach bums?! I am Lord Heckzington Brutenhal! Have you never heard of my house?! I'll give you influence, you filthy dog! Perhaps that influence might just get me another fur coat, or allow me to get my good ol pal Marmabel to make a new entry on his magnificient menagerie that's full of insects." Damned hound. Interfering with my massage. Heckz speedily goes to the Temple of Danab, in the holy district,.If the pharpharian wasn't there, he would wait until the morning.

It is clear now that the goblin's smile is gone. "Oh..." He then makes one of those smiles that some would see as a nervous one. "... zo you employer iz crazy? Hehehe... he?"

Dannylonglegs! Good to have you back. Something Heckz can afford. Evil? I think you meant benevolent to it's servants.

"Red Azzazzinz?! That iz too danger! How you get in very very trouble like thiz?" He then sighs. "You ztill zaved me, but, zo I'll help you any wayz."

Does anyone know of any good items for Harlots? (whips, daggers, artifacts, consumables that last forever, etc) What are you talking about. Comic Sans is love, Comic Sans is life. Join or die.

QM Note: Samuraiturtle, I'll get to putting the venom and the bone in the next stat update. Why do I always mess up Germ's stats. QM Note: It's not necessary, unless it's an important action (like changing an artifact, checking something, going somewhere, etc). There's no need to bold when you talk to other characters, but if you want to no one is stopping you. "I ized too occupy try to kill znakez. Zorry, I not zeeed." After being sad that Nalguz threw the bones to one side, the direwolf once again wags his tail with the quick pat that Na'im gave. "Bark! <You... I like you...>" The goblin shakes his head in the style that would say 'yes'. He then smiles, as always. "Yez yez. I can follow blood good. Letz get to it!" :dsweet: The tension grows as the hunter quietly tracked down the culprits. Only the footsteps of the heroes can be heard as the night comes. As they tread across some of the dead humongous vines that were 'guarding' the forest a few a hours ago, Rhyszicz stops in his tracks. "The peoplez you iz look iz three. Thiz blood alzo only belong to one people, an elf to be exam. They iz very very zlow. We will catch they in not time. To paz time, we can talk a little. Zo, what iz you doing try to catch peoplez?" He says to the heroes.

"That's the attitude!" He then turns to Periwinkle. "Let's not waste anymore time being idle. To the Beach Resort, now!" He then looks at Phred. "You too!" Finally. A spa and a nice healthy no fat drink is just what I need after a day of "I'm with stupid". EDIT: OoC: Can anyone at the Souk ask items for me? Heckz will pick them up and pay for them himself, of course...

"Murder and stylish. Don't you forget!" Heckz smiles for real as the activists are taken away. "Does tomorrow work?" "Hopefully skin them alive. These beast lovers are much more abominable than the actual beasts." "For you, darling, I'd do anything. Do you have any idea of where these creatures are?" After that, Heckz walks to the man with a black hat. "These ecologists, am I right? They should be caged just as all these insects."

"??? <???>" Warkboofhine wags his tail thinking that Na'im was appreciating the so called 'treasures'. As Germ does his business, however half-demons do it, he finds 17 gold coins. Too bad they were covered in feces now. How far would The Demon Germ go for seventeen pieces of gold? Warkboofhine stops wagging his tail as Nalguz sweeps the bones to one side and puts on a sad puppy face. "Yez. I track very good, but I am in needingz of zomething from target. They lefted anything? Pieze of cloth, hairz, blood, or anything? And, how you knowingz of my name? No problem. For all otherz, but, my name iz Rhyszicz Daanmokaar. I premium hunter. Very guaranteeded for kill. I ized zlave, but I now zeek job here in Eubric. How iz you call?"

"Sure kiddo, you can come with us and you'll see us defeat some terror inducing beasts of the wild! " Hells no. "Huh? You don't absolutely hate these beasts? But I overheard you saying you'll do something tonight!!! And you, I'm not calling you a man because you look younger than this kid. Let's just stick with 'boy'." Heckz ran up to Ezra. "AS A MATTER OF FACT! I just overheard these people talking about 'doing it tonight' and 'before the rich wanker catches wind of us'. At first I thought they were going to kill them, but they are clearly one of those monster loving psychos. They are a plague, if you ask me." He then turned to the redhead with the hyppogriff. "Hello there, pretty. Tell me, what is someone as gorgeous as yourself doing with one of these critters?"

"Heckz sees the, in his eyes, little angel that got him his book and little shit that looks 'ugly af eeww'. He approaches it and puts on the fakest smile he can smile. "Hey, little man or faffaffa. Your mommy is really worried about you and apparently you are just as bored as me by these stupid beasts, am I right? She's waiting for you at the Holy District, but I don't think you can go there all alone. I'm a hero from Heroica and this is a bitchter of Danab. Sorry, I meant Sister. Silly me!." At this point, the man's mouth was hurting from so much falseness. "You can come with us to the resort, and tomorrow we'll head on out to bring you back to your mommy. Sound good?" The sorcerer overhears the weird people talking about animals. Unfortunately, he simply assumes these people also hate the ugly furries. "You boys also hate this hideous creatures?" He whispers.

It's mostly a way to piss off the questees because they didn't get a trillion gold on their first quest.

Round Eight of the Random Snakes on a Not so Random Forest: >Boris vs. Black Adder - Hit (Black Adder: 3 health-(6+3= 9 damage)= 0 health - It's not exactly living anymore) The black adder can be heard saying some more Ss which were probably also bluff until the party leader makes it's head fly across the forest with his mace. The heroes and Rhyszicz all gain +1 level! Warkboofhine doesn't feel like levling up for some reason.

The direwolf growls something at Rhyszicz and the hunter turns to the heroes. "I am very thank that you zaved me life! I alzo hear that you kill I target. I sad. I want to kill her, what she ised. But you ztill zaved me, so I help you for free!. Normal I zay 10 gold for kill, but for you no gold!" The gnome heartily smiles. "Woof. <Don't worry, I did not forget what I promised you. And just as I did... treasures beyond imagination. Please treat them well, they are, or were, one of the most valuable things I possessed...>" Warkboofhine goes running to some random path and comes back with his paws dirty and his mouth filled with bones. 8x Bones What will the party do? They should probably remember that they have some potion stealing culprits to chase.

Heckz feels quite intimidated by the humongous figure. Also a little bit disgusted because of it's green skin. He hates having to act nice in front of most green skins he knows of. In a few moments, though, he could go ahead and say how tacky her clothes are and how disgusting her eyebrows are to one particular green skin. The book was just a few steps away, only the brat and the husband were left to deal with... He quietly pays 50 gold. "Don't you worry, Mr. Horny, we are only here to pick my ugly little cousin up. I have no interest in furry little vermin." He enters the glorified Menagerie. "Do little mice run up inside your head every night? Of course that's the Fafafafy we want! By the way, you owe me 25 gold."

Lelz, you are right. No archdemon boss fight for us, then.

Leviathan?! (even though a game of cards has nothing to do with gluttony. I can still dream!) The Bley Foxer can still happen though, right? Now that I think about it I'm gonna nickname Heckz "The Bley F****r" after making him a Harlot.

Heckz looks at Periwinkle as the power of the Heroica Cocktail leaves him. "Stop being useless from once and get back up. We've got a brat to take back and a resort to have a massage in." Heckz heads for the Menagerie. Loot: Heckz - Demeter Bomb, Cactus Flower Periwinkle - Some sand

QM Note: Due to balancing reasons, the direwolf's hits will no longer prevent an enemy from dealing a free hit.

Then Na'im goes ahead and kills another snake, making another two allies change targets. Germ gets hit by the deadly black adder while both Mhinak and Nalguz hit it. The young dire wolf brutally shreds one of the reptiles apart with his teeth. The black adder finally gets a bite on Boris, and it also added some extra poison to add to the flavor. Too bad the vampire is immune to it. The Enemies: Black Adder "Sssss... <If you flee now, I will be merciful and not feast on you!
