Kintobor

I'm glad you like her! Finding a scowling female head besides Patricia's was hard, but I did find one. Paolo is more along the lines of comedic relief, what with his megaphone and all, but I do want to bring him back, since he is rather intelligent and great when it comes to deduction.

"If she's not finished with Abbot, allow her to do her job. Otherwise, Abbot's all yours. Just follow the noise and you should find them." Paolo moves out of the way as the party enters the house and through the upstairs to where they can hear more arguing between two individuals. "I assure Lieutenant, I am not involved with any illegal activities down in the sewers." "That may be so, Abbot, but that doesn't give you the right to illegally enter a section of the sewers blocked off for numerous reasons! Hand the key over now, and the worst I can give you is a fine!" Opening the door, the Town Watch official spurs around and looks over the party, particularly Em. The man in the back begins to rummage through various things on the table beside him. "If you insist Lilith. Ah, gentleman... how nice of you to join us." "Heroica, I take it? Allow me to make this quick, since I have more important affairs to deal with than to confiscate things. I'm Lieutenant Lilith. I'm going to assume Abbot hired you for something? I'm also going to assume Paolo, the blabber mouth that he is, already filled you in on why I'm here, so if you'd allow me and Abbot to finish up, you may speak with him after." "Yes, allow us to finish up. This won't take long." While rummaging about the table, Abbot's body language appears tense and stressed, almost panicky. Is there anything the party would like to say before Lilith and Abbot continue?

"No, not recently. In fact, this past week he's come home right after work and then retreats to his study. He's had a few acquaintances over during that time though. If memory recalls, there was that Jeffrey St. John fellow who came over who was one of Abbot's friends from school, and then there was one of his students who came over for extra assistance with him. Other than that, suspicious isn't what I'd call his behavior. I'd call it normal for once."

"Hmmpf. I wish I knew. He's always out and about after his lectures and then arrives long past his working hours, often with jars and equipment. He can afford all these things yet he can't move out! Unlike his brother, who at least owns a house. Sometimes I wondered what happened to the Watt lineage... Oh well."

You have to be a bit of a history buff to get it, but that's why I love it! No, I wasn't. However, if people are against it, I can always change it. It won't be for a while now before it pops up, but the idea of the scroll isn't something a virtuous paladin would do. The scroll removes all negative effects afflicted by the user and transfers them to the targeted enemy. I'm thinking of having the ether being 10 for it, but some suggestions would be nice.

"Like I haven't heard that story before. If Abbot wants to progress our technology he should get out of his books and get an internship with the Guild of Invision or the Ji Pei. Entering private property is a crime, and depending on the intent, a serious crime! I have no idea, nor do I care what Abbot was doing in the sewers unless it was of criminal intent, but we still need to figure out how he got down there and for what purpose." "Are you suggesting my son's a criminal?!?" Paolo seems to be taken back by the statement. "Not at all, madame, simply implying that... well... um... he shouldn't be going into places he shouldn't be going into is all!" The party can just see the argument about to rupture again in the looks of Anne-Marie and the lieutenant.

I have a scroll I'm cooking up that does just that with a nasty add on that's sure to have people squabbling for it. The catch? It's for witches only.

"Yeah, Ulric Wolfgang." The lieutenant chuckles at his obvious joke. The other two watchmen join in with hushed laughter. "No, not really. A few Wolgang thugs including a particular lieutenant, Brier. He was rather high on the payroll apparently. That was until he was curb stomped and brought in by a group of heroes. We're still debating about what to do with him since he has little to no chance of parole, and keeping him in jail could result in a bust out, one never knows. However, killing him could cause a retaliation from Ulric's men. He's locked up at the time being though."

"That may be the case, but he still owns a key that allows entrance to an area of the sewers that we do not want civilians entering. Hell, civilians shouldn't be going into the sewers, but there really is no stopping them, now is there?" Paolo looks down at his device. "What, this? It's cone shape acts an amplifier. No fancy electronics about it. It's simply made of durable metal. Why fix something that isn't broken?" OOC: It's an old school megaphone, and they did exist. I don't remember what they were called, but they were used to communicate between sailing ships I'm pretty sure. Anne-Marie crosses her arms. "It's Anne-Marie, thank you very much, and from what he told me, a group of Wolfgang hooligans robbed a weapons dealer selling weapons to the Town Watch. I did hear an arrest was made." "Multiple arrests, actually."

OOC: Excellent! Everyone's here! Let's begin! The two look down at the party from the front steps. "Related! Bah! Don't make me blush, good sir! I am Lieutenant Paolo of the Town Watch. We're here after reports of this woman's son was seen entering a section of the sewers which we've locked off to halt Wolfgang activity." "My word, when I get my hands on him... apologies, my name is Anne-Marie Watt. My two sons, as accomplished as they are, cannot seem to stay out of trouble! First he was involved as a witness to that robbery and now this! What is the woman you brought with you doing, Lieutenant? Hopefully nothing violent! The few pieces of artwork left in that house are priceless!" "I assure you, milady, my equal is inclined to stay on the side of the law. However, she's also very serious about her job..." Looking slightly worried, Paolo whips out his megaphone over his mouth and begins to howler in the direction of the upper floors of the house. "Lilith, is everything alright up there! Is somethin' wrong!" "I can only assume my son wishes to speak with you. Head upstairs and check on him for me please. I'll wring him out later. And will you stop shouting into that megaphone!" Anne-Marie Watt pushes the Lieutenants megaphone down, who quickly holds it against his chest. "Watch it! This is expensive equipment! If you chaps want to go upstairs, be my guest. Lilith should be done interrogating him shortly." The Lt. moves out of the way to allow the party upstairs. Do they wish to ask some questions with the two first, or check on Abbot?

No problem! If you need a hand, both your party members and myself will be there to help!

Quest #80: Just... yes.

Part of the reason I choose Em as party leader was to see how Em would deal with being in the spotlight. The quiet, self reserved, humble character is now the one handing out orders and being the focus of the party. This should be fun.

No rush! Take your time! 78 has a slow start, so there's no rush! I'm hoping to finish the quest within a month, but who knows. We'll see.

Should be fixed now.

OOC: Already taken note of! If anything is off here, let me know.

Very impressive! Yes, if memory serves me correctly, I believe it was Knapford, although knowing now that everything these days has a wiki, I'm certain you could find out with a google search.

A note is placed on the Quest Board pertaining to the quest 78: Will the following heroes please make their way to the Watt Estate, approximately a half hour's walk out of Eubric through the Three Gates area, on the Eubric Highway. - Abbot Watt Sorrow, Level 23 Assassin (Endgame) Elgar Gligin, Level 22 2/3 Druid (Jedi Master Brick) Grimwald Gjinko, Level 11 Cleric (LordofNoobs) "Em", Level 13 Ranger (emjajoas) -Party Leader- OOC: The forums already up! Get some shopping down and I'll see you there! As well, apologies to Captain Settle. I simply couldn't find a spot for you on the quest without completely revamping the quest. I would however love to see you on another one of my quests in the future! No hard feelings, it's just it's hard shoving a level 1 into a group of level l0's and 20's.

It's just past four o'clock as a crisp, cool air settles onto Uland. It's been unnaturally dreary these past few days. Four heroes make the half hour trek out of Eubric and down the Eubric Highway on the request of Abbot Watt to search for his brother. Those four heroes are... Name: Unknown. Most call him "Em," though his real name remains largely mysterious. -Party Leader- Unknown age male human ranger Level 13 Power: 21 Health: 18/18 Gold: 155 Equipment: Aquabow (WP: 7, Water-elemental), Ranger's Quiver (+1 WP to all Bows/Crossbows), Syndicate Cowl (SP: 2, Immune to Doomed effect) Inventory: Consumables: Smoke bomb, Grating Stone x2, Nostrum x2, Potion x4, Remedy x4, , Venom, Ice Bomb, Grand Potion, Mead x2, Equipment: White Marksman's Hat - (⅙ chance of Assassination vs. Flying monsters; Headwear), Gentleman's Hat (SP: 1, suitable for men, headgear.

Usable once per battle.) Does not prevent free hits. Grand Potion x2, Fireworks, Remedy, , mead, Hide of The Regret (halves damage from undead; suitable for anyone, backwear), Grand tonic (x5) ------- After what seemed like an eternity, the party members finally make it to the Watt Estate. The stone building showed what appeared to have been a once regal and upper class mansion. However, now was not the case. Windows had been boarded up, many of the art pieces and statues appeared to have either rusted or be in ruins, and many of the plants and vegetation had overgrown and consumed many parts of the house. Outside on the front steps, a few town watch guards stand watch as a man with a very proper mustache appeared to be comforting an aging woman. "...Now, milady, if you would please calm yourself, allow me to reassure you, everything is fine." "What do you mean everything is fine! What has my son done now to warrant this?!" OOC: Beinvenue! Welcome to As Thick As Thieves! For the time being, you may talk to your fellow quest mates, or talk to the individuals here. You have 24 hours to confirm before I hand over your character to the party leader. If you do not after that confirm within 48 hours, you will be replaced with another hero. If you have any shopping to do, please do so. I have magical editing powers you know! Last, if I screw up, let me know. It'll make the quest better for everyone, including me. Best of luck, your going to need some! Let's get Dangerous!

LAST CALL FOR SIGN UPS FOR QUEST # 78 Sorrow, Level 23 Assassin (Endgame) Elgar Gligin, Level 22 2/3 Druid (Jedi Master Brick) Grimwald Gjinko, Level 11 Cleric (LordofNoobs) "Em", Level 13 Ranger (emjajoas) Louis Argenshire, Level 1 Knight (Lord Settle) Drake Flamerobe, Level 11 Knight (xxlrocka) Haldor, Level 27 2/3 Shaman (Scorpiox) Xander Un'Thor, Level 26 Hunter (posades) OOC: Sign Ups are now closed. I'll have verified who's going on the quest shortly. It's going to be tough, since I could see this going two ways. We'll see.

Yeah, that's way too much. If anything, it should be 1-6 x10. I'd be fine with that, but as it stands, it's the only fault with the class. Other than that, the new changes are fine to the class.

Shush! You aren't suppose to see that.

Karie stirs from her slumber and heads for the quest board, half asleep. She signs her name under the sign ups for Quest 79, not really paying attention to what she's doing. She then heads back up to her table and falls back asleep. -------- The doors creak open as a familiar face step into the hall, his cane wrapped underneath his arm as he approaches the quest board. "Well, well, it appears I may have to make some tough choices to make here. And who signed up for a quest that appears to have already left? Mr. Gligin it appears! No matter, we'll throw his name in here too." He jots some things down in his notebook, and then makes his way to the door, leaving the hall. CURRENT SIGN UPS FOR QUEST # 78 Sorrow, Level 23 Assassin (Endgame) Elgar Gligin, Level 22 2/3 Druid Grimwald Gjinko, Level 11 Cleric "Em", Level 13 Ranger Louis Argenshire, Level 1 Knight OOC: Welcome to Heroica Captain Settle! You can sign up for more than one quest, and my recommendation to you is to sign up for Quest #79 as well, just in case you don't get on Quest #78.
