posades

Thought I would continue the 'colored pill' motif.

"It is settled then; we shall choose the Sapphire and Amethyst for the first round." Looking into the odd chest, Xander pulls out the lavender pill, swallowing it and preparing his bow for battle.

"A couple more questions, if you please. Are the effects from these pills permanent? And has this been tested on anyone...or anything, before?" Xander gulped slightly -- he was not one to take mind-altering substances lightly; quietly he thought the mage should have been more upfront in what he and the other heroes were signing up for. It did not matter now, though, the job had to be completed.

A reasonable request, I'll add in my class. Also, it's nice to know you keep your GP even if you exit the unlimited quest and come back later; I thought they would be erased if you left, but that would be kind of harsh.

Xander suddenly remembered he had been chosen as party leader for this quest. Speaking in a slightly nervous tone, he addressed Althior and Alex: "It is an honor serving as leader for this group; however, it is my first time in this position, and any help along the way will be welcomed." The wind had begun to pick up, and hearing Alex's question, Xander decided to elaborate on it. "Yes, more information on these magical aids will prove useful when testing their quality. Since they are being developed for the town guard, I assume there is some defense mechanism involved?"

I did, no one PM'ed me about it though. And Endgame/CMP forced my hand...

Yeah, I worked out the numbers and either the axe or the club had to go in order for everything to work out; I would have liked to sell it to someone but there didn't seem to be any interest. It didn't make sense for me to keep it since as a hunter I can't miss.

Xander can be seen jogging briskly to the designated meeting spot, where he can see Alex and Althior already engaging in conversation with the strange looking mage. "I am sorry heroes, I had prior business to attend to. But now that we are all here, it seems we can be on our way; I'm not one to ride on magic carpets, but if that is what is required then I will oblige." "It is a pleasure meeting you....Howard, is it?" Xander said as he began to board the carpet. He also gave a quick nod to both Althior and Alex; these were good men, having fought alongside both in the past. He felt confident in their abilities and was sure they would not let him down. OOC: All my stats changed (including the pic) now that I'm a hunter!

Transformation to Hunter is finally complete with new pic along with my shopping spree, so I can finally check into #46.

Xander rushes into the training room, eager to train himself in a more advanced class before he embarks on another quest. Speaking to the Copper Fox, Xander proclaims: "This last quest I have seen visions of people past, where great hunters were revered for their expertise in the arts of tracking prey and making the necessary kill. I know now that my path must be influenced by this; for this reason, I will choose the class of Hunter to train myself in, hopefully gaining more knowledge about my murky past." He trains for hours, perfecting the bow and arrow and picking up on the nuances of the environment. Finally, after his precision becomes straight and true, he calls himself a hunter. Xander was now ready for the next step in his life, wherever it would take him. Xander Unth'or 24 year-old male human Hunter Level 16 Power: 29 (16+11+2) Defense: 5 Health: 29/29 (8+15+6) Ether: 0/0

Xander gratefully accepts the money, bringing his total to 962g. "As promised, I will now purchase a Hunter's Quiver and Heavy Armor." Xander puts -470g -(240g + 230g) on the counter. "Also, do you mind embuing this quiver with my Scroll of Blindness? Here is -50g for your services." Bidding farewell to Fabian, Xander makes his way to Anwyl next. "Hello old friend, it seems I am need of your services. First, here is a double sided axe, which is worth 30g I believe. I would also be most obliged if you could upgrade this Precision Bow to WP:11? Here is -450g -(70g+80g+90g+100g+110g) for your troubles." Walking out of the marketplace, Xander looks over his new items. Putting on his Heavy Armor and Hunter's Quiver of Marksmanship, he notes his coin bag much lighter with just 22g (962g-520g+30g-450g) left rattling about. His next stop was the training room...

Endgame, I may be a bit late to the quest. Still waiting on negotiations in the marketplace, then I have to upgrade my class (in the process of taking pics) and buy/upgrade equipment. Should be all wrapped up by tonight (aka 5 or 6 hours). Would that be alright?

Anyone in the market for a 'My Little Pony Charm'?

OOC: Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. Xander replied to the salesman, "How about 30g, is that a reasonable compromise? I'll be sure to buy several of your fine wares in return."

Xander walks into the Marketplace; he had many places to visit here, but first he headed to Fabian's stall. "Hello sir, I have some things to sell. What do you think is a fair price I can get for this Robe of the Pongcanis Champion...45g? I also have a horse that I may be willing to part with, but I have no idea what the worth of something like this is."

Not me, I need some time to get all my ducks in a row!

"Be safe," Xander simply replied as he gathered the parchment and gold and made his way to the marketplace.

Pulling out his correspondence, Xander finds a small crumpled piece of paper. "It says here we agreed upon a fee of 371g and your Scroll of Blindness," he stated as he caught the glimmer of sword in the corner of his eye.

Xander sees Atramor wandering near the entrance of the hall. "Over here," he calls as he rests the cursed sword on a stone. "Here is the blade you wanted, the Sword of Ancestral Hatred. I know you are not one for superstitions, but be wary of this weapon. I did not personally know the previous owner, but ownership of this blade is not something to be taken lightly. Deep inside I know you mean good, but even a witch can be swayed by that which is more than supernatural." Xander nods to the weapon, urging Atramor to take it from him.

Xander heard Atramor's voice above the din of the hall. Getting his attention, he made a motion to the door as he stepped outside the building.

Sandy, does Fabian buy back weapons with special abilities as well, or are we stuck selling them to rip-off trusty Anwyl?

I vote to abstain from voting, because this is like choosing the lesser of two evils (and it largely doesn't concern me).

Xander signed up for #46 (along with #40 and #44).

I didn't really mind that at all since I was busy with school work/graduation/applying for work at the time (I think). I was just hoping for a magical seed that would give me lost experience from not battling when I was reunited.

Xander can be seen in the inky shadows of the hall, writing reply letters to several recipients...
