Kintobor

You made my day.

Annienal takes a quick peak into the barrel, hoping to find something that would help them. "So... um, what's our story, again? Are we salesman? Undercover watchmen? We can't say we're from the Bonaparte's... I may be able to pull something off... I mean, um, me and this moon elf, we, um... well we're both elves. Perhaps I could claim some sort of lineage? Like maybe we're related somehow?" Annienal began to go on a nervous tangent. "The only problem being that if we do go that route... um... Miderun, I really don't want to do this, but, um... we may have to play you off as a slave. It's the only way I can see him believing us."

Annienal frowned at Warlen jumping in front of her, a hint of sternness in her soft voice. "Um... I'm kind of the party leader, Warlen... I guess I'll take all of their addresses and we'll head for Fogfarer's first."

"I don't need any of your items." Karie replies bluntly, jogging on the spot and rolling her head. "We'll figure something out. We've been through worse than this. Jeaux, Em, are you two ready for this? Lawrence? The rest of you?"

Annienal feels put on the spot and tries to give a reassuring smile, although it pretty obvious she wasn't. "Um... sure I can give one? We could always try and tie it back to the wooden boats somehow, perhaps ask him if he has any for sale and see where it goes... or something."

Annienal looks sheepishly at the talking skull, not sure how to feel about it, other than distressed. "Um... you do realize there is no Blackbird Island anywhere along the coasts of Uland? That and I'd suspect if there were documents the Bonaparte's would've gone through them already."

"I suppose following Miderun's question, I guess I'd like to know if we should be worried about anything else? Is there anyone who might impede our investigation, or perhaps something that we should look out for?" Annienal felt like socializing with the Barbarian, but not in front of her superior. That would be rather rude of her.

Karie, making sure she could be of the most help possible, looks about, noticing Alice's hand. "Does it hurt still? I can take a look at your hand if you want."

Karie looks over the pieces, sketching out a small diagram. "Here, what about this?" Ignore the the stars. I'm not sure how to get a plain background, but if someone wishes to tell me how, it'd be helpful.

OOC: Do we get 10 attempts at both individually or collectively? Karie turns her attention to the door, looking frantically for anything to possibly block it, the sound of the drill ricocheting in her head. "Boys, move the stuff off the desk and onto the floor. I'm going to try and buy us some time in case we screw up. Alice, give me a hand and help me move it to the door. Jeaux! Do you got any gems we could use!" Karie attempts to move the desk to the door, should Alice comply.

I can't see that happening. I'd like it to be a bit more like actual trading cards, you buy a pack of cards for say 25 gold and you get five cards, enough to play the game but enough for the packs to be random and actually rather luck based for balance reasons. Perhaps sell a booster set for a little more to ensure you get a decent card, or force the buyer to purchase a starter pack first so that they at least get a card with a seven or higher. At least that's how I think it should go.

Annienal felt a little cut off by Warlen and Miderun. She was given the role of party leader, and she figured it would be better if she introduced herself first. Although, considering how intimidating the Commodore looked, it might have been for the best. The building reminded her of Trost Military Academy, almost a little too much. "Um... Annienal Anavir, at your service, sir. If I might ask, is there a reason someone would want to overthrow your house? And if so, who, or, um... whom?"

My Little Hero: Fellowship is Magic.

On a side note, I'm postponing Baltarok 4/Vault Arc 3 until next year. It still needs a lot of work, and I want to make sure it's the best quest possible. My next quest is most likely going to be the Sheep Tribe/alien raiders quest, so you guys have that to look forward to.

Watch two seasons of MLP and you get a great villain song! This day is going to be perfect, The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small...

Annienal wanders into the marketplace, looking over her own stock of inventory before coming to Anwyl's. She looks over her College Halbred , wondering if she was brave enough to do it before hastily tossing it into a heap of scrap. She collects her 15 gold and heads to Fabian's. 15+58= 73 gold Entering the store, she begins to browse, looking over some of the more kitschy jewelry before realizing their price. She quietly looks through the armour rack, trying to find something that might help her, but finds nothing of interest until she comes across a set of Pauldrons. She quietly pays the 60 gold to the moustached man before leaving the market. A measly sum of 13 gold was left in her pockets. 73-60=13 gold

Karie frustratingly groans. "Why the hell are we standing around here? Let's freaking get the hell out of here before Mono-whatever the heck it is gets here and squishes us!" Karie picks Punii up and frantically runs for the emergency exit.

A Muppet Christmas Carol- I was quite surprised by this one. Not only was this film good, it was really good! A strong, well written adaptation and a decent Muppets comedy. Quite atmospheric in tone, the movie understands that the original story was pretty dark at times, and embraces it when it can in some really cool puppetry, particularly the Marley and Marley sequence, which is both well lit and acted, but also legitimately chilling at times. Michael Caine is Ebenezer Scrooge. Seriously, Caine gives a legitimately great performance as Scrooge, despite the somewhat silly script at times. If you haven't checked it out, I'd recommend doing so, even if you are familiar with the original story.

"I'm glad you find it as elegant as I do, Matthais and I am more than honoured to have worked on it." She calmly smiles and readjusts her glassing, trying not to giggle at the mention of assistance before returning to her neutral expression. "I'm certain I'll have something come up in the future Matthais, you heroes always seem to help me out when I need it. I'll definitely remember your name should I ever need assistance. Goodbye for now, Matthais." Nicole waves Matthais off as she returns to her work, the gnome more than happy to have his cannon back, and to potentially of made a new friend. QM Note: I hope you got a kick out of this, Stick, as well as the others for the interlude earlier in the quest! Kinto, out!

The trio make their way to the cities docks and 46 Halibut Avenue. The building was situated near the harbour, and the smell of the sea wafted into the group's nose. Russel nudges Matthais to enter the workshop, "Well, Matthias? What are you waiting for?" Matthais opens the workshop doors to see a female Tritech scientist hard at work at her bench. She looks up and readjusts her glasses as Matthais and his friends enter, getting up to greet them. Despite being knocked out earlier in the week, Tesla doesn't show any sort of wounds. "Matthais. It's a pleasure to see you again. I'm glad you arrived when you did. I managed to get your cannon finished, even though I've had a rather busy week recovering from my blow to the head. Lots of work had to be done, including fixing the firing mechanism, readjusting some gears, and outright replacing some parts, and it's still incredibly heavy, but I think you'll find the finished product more than acceptable." She uncovers a pristine, glistening new Fireball Extraordinaire, it's paint renewed and the cannon's metal shining off the sunlight. Restored Fireball Extraordinaire- (WP: 9, also hits enemies listed above and below target, user is Slowed) "What do you think?" Guest QM Note: You basically got a super cheap WP increase to your weapon that would've cost you 300 gold if you went to Anwyl. It may not be much, but your wallet would've felt it had you not. Zepher, feel free to chime in as Russel and Pigley!

"Here, I'll pay for the room." He lays down another 20 gold for the barkeep, who nods as he grabs Throlar's room key. "Have a pleasant sleep, and don't try and sleep in. We need to head out early tomorrow if we're going to at least make it down the highway. Goodnight." Paladin Rollinger sleepily waves Throlar away, leaving him downstairs as the only patron left. "Bar's closed, master dwarf. I'd suggest you hit the hay."

"It's not hostile... not yet at least." Karie clears her throat before addressing the Oculoid. "Do you speak common?"

With Eric heading upstairs, Rollinger turns to the dwarf, rolling his eyes when Eric's out of earshot. "Nords... can't go anywhere without something around their johnsons. You heading upstairs? Or do you need to borrow some coin for a room?"

Karie looks about, a lingering feeling of being watched washed over her. She doesn't say anything about it, but keeps on the look out.

"With your Doomsday Bomb, Punii and Erditree's Agni Bomb, that should give us 199 damage worth of explosive damage... or something.... those numbers always confused me. Is that good with everyone? Or shall we try something else?" Karie looked behind her, just to make sure nothing was following them.
