Waterbrick Down

The assassin squeeze Kiray "But then you wouldn't have grown Kiray. My absence is exactly what you needed to become better. If only you could see yourself as I do now." Diana smiles, "Come now, how about we have a good talk." "It's right next to the library." Pretzel's reading seems to have no effect. Hoke looks around before spotting Torc, her head poking through door to the training room. "It's OK sis, all is forgiven. I'm here now and all you need to know is I'll never leave you again." Several of the heroes push aside their feelings and make a concentrated effort for the door. Veterans, friends, and long lost love ones reach out their hands to hold the heroes back but to no avail. As Atramor brings the mythril claws down on himself time seams to slow-down. Cronk tries to push Dyric aside, Kayla and Diana attempt to pull Karie and Kiray away from the hall's entrance. Throlar hears the muffled voice of Ophaniel even as he sees the figure of Nazgulie reaching for the door. As the heroes cross the threshold and Atramor's blade sinks into his chest, the heroes' vision blurs before returning to focus. snapping all of the heroes out of their dream and back into reality. All of them push aside giant white roots that seem to have grown as blankets over them as a hulking figure glares down at them. The bodies of the veterans lay strewn across a gigantic cavern and set against the far wall a massive door inlaid with exotic wood and precious metals stands closed. Fairy dust shimmers in the air forming growing humanoid figures that assemble behind the visage of the archdemon Rosier. The false Founders stumble slightly, seemingly weakened by the siphoning force of the archdemon. "INSOLENT VERMIN! I GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOUR HEARTS COULD DESIRE, EVERYTHING YOU COULD HAVE EVER WANTED, AND YET YOU STILL CHOOSE SUFFERING. YOU SHALL NOT STAND IN MY WAY NOW SOON, THE WORLD AND ALL THE WORLDS BEYOND SHALL KNOW MY HUNGER. YOU REJECTED YOUR DREAMS, NOW YOU WILL EXPERIENCE YOUR NIGHTMARE!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

As Monk Pretzel looks around he doesn't see Hoples anywhere in the Hall. Dyric makes again for the door, however a well armored orc walks through and immediately wraps the assassin up in a hug. "Friend Dyric! Cronk is so glad to see you!" Kiray spots the other Wolfgang members, but there is no sign of Ulric. "Whelp, I'll be interested in followin' where Kukulkan ends up. Hopefully with all the changes this city is goin' through they won't be neglectin' the green skins, but won't hurt to stick around and make sure. Haven't heard anything about Diana in a while, she supposed to be around here." "Someone looking for me?" A darkhaired woman pushes past the orc paladin at the door, before smiling and coming over to join Kiray and Skrall. "Karie, you didn't hear? Ulric, he... he got the Miracleworker to bring her back." Another figure pokes out from behind Mason as the hall grows even more crowded, a few tears running down the face of the young woman as she looks at Karie. "Hi sis..." Jack catches Germ's arm with a smile. "Hey there, Germ, we had a few laboratories put into the hall recently, no need walkin' across the street for a privy any more." "What is wrong Lawrence? Relax, while there will be much work to do later, you all need to recover your strength. You were quite injured." "Lind, if you keep this foolishness up, I'm going to have you sent to the infirmary to have your head looked at. What is with all of this nonsense about dreams and Rosier? If you think for a moment I'm going to let you let loose a bunch of explosives in here..."

Germ swings the weapon back and forth assessing its weight, the weapon seems a bit off but Germ can't quite put his finger on why. As Dyric heads for the door he passes Karie, Mason, and the two's daughter standing and talking by the entryway. As he opens the door another familiar face steps through. "Oh Mr. Rone, a pleasure to see you. I was just delivering a package. One of your veterans stayed a few nights at our establishment and forgot some of their belongings."

QM Note: Fixed the Smelling Salts issue. "Careful there mate, you're going to hurt yourself. I know you've been through a lot, but you've got to take it easy. The demons, dead as a doornail. Ain't coming back. Here, have a nip of a drink, it'll calm your nerves." "We found a couple actually. Here you go." 5x Thorn of Rosier (WP: 100, 1/6 chance to cause Enamored, whip/longsword/staff) "He did indeed! I haven't had much time to study it yet." Tome of the Miracle Worker (1/6 chance of reviving of a KO'd target, 2/6 if above level 10, 3/6 if above level 20, 4/6 if above level 30, 5/6 if above level 40, guaranteed if above level 50, suitable to Clerics, Tool) As Karie opens the door she is surprised to see Mason with her daughter in tow, standing at the doorstep just about to knock. "Karie! You're awake! This is incredible!" "Sure thing, careful you don't drink too many of these, you'll make yourself sick."

"Rum? I should have you all on nothing but chicken soup for the next month." "It's ok, Scheherazade, they deserve a little spoiling." Jack grabs a bottle of rum from behind the bar and tosses it to Atramor. "There wasn't much fighting on your part heroes, as Kukulkan said, your mere presence gave us the opening we needed to finish the beastie off." The orc barmaid brings a few glasses over to the table. "Careful dearies, take it slow, you're all still recovering." Asa slides a paper over to Karie. "Figured you'd be interested in reading this. Might help." The first article to catch Karie's eye is the front page simply titled "Trust" A few of the other articles detail the negotiations occurring with the Bonaparte fleet, the Guild of Invision and Ji Pei offering educational courses to citizens of the hovels and Shadeaux and Hinckwell houses establishing mutual business relations and job opportunities for all those of the hovels who wished to work. The paper continues on about the work of the Ziegfrieds in establishing magical services around the city ranging from street lighting, to clean water fountains. An entire section of the paper is dedicated to letters sent to the editor expounding on how Heroica had helped all of them in the past, including farmer MacDonald, Bilbert Wigglepike, Teresa Finneldria, and many more. "Peace, Throlar, you all suffered terrible trauma and if it were not for Asa repairing the Nornalis, none of you may have survived. Have hope, because of what you did at Fort Freedom, how you and your friends solved this horrible business through peace instead of violence, you have inspired the entire city to come together to repair what was broken." "Plenty of fairy dust, but we sent that back with Euflear. The demon did drop this, none of us were really keen to keep it." Thorn of Rosier (WP: 100, 1/6 chance to cause Enamored, whip/longsword/staff)

"Luxidios and the other two dragons might find it difficult to get down there." "If it helps any, there's another passage via some of the harbor sewers, the demon's been busy excevatin' nearly half the city searchin' for this 'door'" "Very well then, the dragons will go via the sewers while the rest of us head through Heroica Hall." Germ's compass points underground and towards the Hall. "Me an' the rest of the crew will make sure the Bonapartes don't make it into the harbor. I'm sure we can get a bunch of the sailors to help out with some of the local skiffs as well." "Affer that big boom, I bet they neffer efen think abou' messin' wif us." Illdria and the ex-Bonaparte sailors give a mock salute to the heroes before shoving off once more into the bay. Waldorf looks around before quietly piping up. "I don't thththink I could kill a ddddemon, bbbbut if that thing caused my girlfriend to suffer I wwwant you to give it hel for me!" "Yeah, after what it did to the Oracle, send it back to the abyss heroes!" "You two should totally stay over at our place, we can have cocoa and cookies and I might even get Mable to scry the whole thing so we can watch!" Chesterine, Waldorf, and Skuld give hugs to all the heroes before starting off toward the Ziegfried mansion. The young girl blushes from the praise. "Thanks, I don't think I could have done any of it without you all. You saw a strength in me that I didn't even know I had. Father said he's going to tell us the truth about mother, but whatever comes of it, I think I'm ready to handle it because of all of you." Bellanotte wipes a few tears from her eyes before giving a curtsy and joining the rest of her family as they walk toward the Dragon House. The count looks toward the heroes and gives a slight bow. "Thank you." "The Fae is a source of constant change and flux, it'll take more than a single archdemon to bring it to complete ruin." The nervous Hoples steps forward. "Well... it was the right thing to do. Thank you Throlar, I know Patricia was a little... stiff, but I hope the Watch can still serve this city yet. I'll hold on to this until you all get back. In the meantime, I think Patricia is organizing the rest of the watchmen to put down some groups of undead that have been reported to be wandering the streets. Good luck!" With that Hoples and the remainder of the Town Watch forces along with the rescued privates form up and start spreading out throughout the city. Patricia smiles as she gets down from Torc "Well, now that was some show. Matthias, I'm going to help these two get back to my families mansion, but that doesn't give you an excuse to go dying while I'm away. It'll be so boring if I have to keep raising you whenever we want to chat. Stay safe!" Chesterine plants a kiss on Matthias cheek before leaving with Skuld and Waldorf. "Unfortunately as Untergang's body never truly existed I cannot raise it... as for Cain, the longer the death, the less of the person's true self actually returns. His soul will have nearly passed on completely and what would remain is a mere shell of a man. His knowledge or memories... perhaps, but nearly all of his spirit would be... elsewhere." "I'll take that bet. 50 it'll be this year." Marco chuckles. The captain weighs the bag of gold before smiling at Arthur as the Magpie casts off from the dock, "I'll be glad to give you that perspective, assuming you're still here to hear it. Thanks for the donation, we'll make sure to name a cannon after ya." As Arthur joins the rest of the heroes, Bellanotte returns his smile as she and her family head off down the streets of Eubric. "Eh, I'd resigned myself to my fate. I'd wished that the order could have seen more sense, but they tend to get a little too focused on the 'greater good' portion and forget the actual people we have to interact with. We're moving out to help the Watch with the outbreak of undead in the city. I wouldn't mind facing a demon, but with Commander Brusk in charge, it's all about securing a good foundation from which to strike first. You go give that thing Hel and we'll catch up once this is all over." "Glad yer all tryin' to figure this out, but maybe we should focus on survivin' this archdemon first. One thing at a time mates." Skrall smiles before pushing open the doors to Heroica Hall. "Ah smells just like I left it. Let's get to work!" As the heroes move toward the familiar corner to the secret passages below the hall, Marco, Asa, and Elphaba approach the group. "Heroes as you know while the Nornalis is sealed you are all still in danger. Therefore we've been thinking..." "We're going to see how shoddy that two bit conjurer Doomsayer was at his spell weaving." "We're going to try and reverse the spell. We don't know how long it'll take, but the more time you can buy us down there, the better chance we'll have at breaking it. Between the three of us, we should be able to figure something out." "And if not, I won't owe Arthur 50 gold." "But truly, you have all demonstrated the ideals of this Hall. As I encouraged one of your companions, this city itself is not worth fighting for. What's worth fighting for is the opportunity this city represents to those who come here. A chance to make a difference, to impact the lives around you for the better, to bring peace in a world so often devoid of it. Whatever Heroica looks like moving forward may there be a reason why people once again look to it not as a solution to their problems, but a bastion of the capacity for goodness in each of us when we put off our own self serving attitudes and truly look out for the good of one another be they Human or Norn, Grumpkin or Orc, young or old, rich or poor. Fight well, heroes. Our hopes go with you." With that the heroes descend below the Hall. Down, down, down, and yet even further down the Party descends. The more experienced of the heroes recall the old architecture of the ancient civilization upon which the city was built as they lead everyone onward. At long last the heroes reach the old temple of Zoot still in disarray and ruin, a fine dust flits about the air reflecting off of the torches and light spells illuminating the cavern. Scattered across the ground the group find slain corpses of undead druids and herbaceous elemental monsters. The trail of bodies leads away from the temple and to a newly dug tunnel of massive proportions. The air thickens with even more spores as the group approaches closer, no sound can be heard from up ahead. A flurry of wings sounds behind the party as the three dragons arrive in the temple cavern. "Steel yourselves heroes, there is no telling what lies ahead." As the heroes move forward, the darkness begins to stifle all the light around everyone. A bright light flashes, a rushing wind, and the sound of the Semiramis Azzurati, the Sand Queen's, voice seems to echo throughout the chamber before all grows completely black and silent and each of the heroes passes out... ... ... ... The heroes all awake in Heroica Hall, the sun shines through the windows as Scheherazade is sweeping the floor and startles as the heroes come to. "Oh my! Oh my! Oh My! Asa, Jack, Hestia, Kukulkan, Semiramis! They're awake! They're finally awake!" The veterans come running into the hall. Jack is missing a hand, Kukulkan's leg is in a cast. "Thank goodness, it finally worked!" "Gods above, what a relief." "Almost thought you lot weren't going to make it down there." "Indeed, even I could not foresee your possible futures and whether you would recover." "Aye, when you lot showed up down there, it sure sent Rosier into quite the panic, gave Jack the perfect opening to finish her off. Not before she ignited all those spores and nearly blew us all up." The heroes note burns, scars, and bruises over their bodies. Hestia Bonaparte approaches the heroes. "You've all been out for nearly a week. Asa was just able to break the seal on the Nornalis, a lot's happened since you've been out. The founders perished after Rosier was defeated, their bodies turned into somesort of powder. The Paladins and Town Watch dealt with a bunch of the archdemons druids and the two organizations are currently in the middle of selecting new leadership. I was able to talk Attina into negotiations with the fort's sailors, but we hope some of you might be able to assist with the peace talks. The Wolfgang has officially disbanded and Ulric turned himself in, something to do with enacting change the right way. Euflear was able to gather survivors from her people and are already at work in repairing the damage done to the Fae. They intend to build a permenant portal to Eubric to encourage better relationships between the fairy folk and Olegia." "It's a lot to take in heroes and we know there's a lot more to be done if Eubric is ever to be made whole again. But after everything that has happened, we believe that moving forward you're quite capable of making it happen." "That's why we're going to be stepping down, it's about time this hall had some new blood in leadership. You're free to pick amongst yourselves, but I don't think any of us would be afraid to give you our thoughts if you have them." The heroes looked between themselves. They had come so far and yet there was still so much more work to be done, but they had a sense that it would be good work and work worth doing. The work of...Heroes!

Feel free to continue posting in this thread if you want.

QM Note: Hi Folks, big post coming up in a few hours. Just to provide some clarification, the NPC's will be staying topside (not going to make too much of a difference), and the seals still work.

Yep they're a light source.

"You seem to be painting her life as some sort of saint, Arthur. She was a criminal plain and simple, all the heroes had orders to bring her and her accomplices in dead or alive that night." Patricia pauses looking the skirmisher up and down, "Remember, when you came to the Watch's doorstep that night long ago you expected death, I told you what the law required and you placed the burden of guilt upon yourself. That thief annoyed me just as you did, the only difference is the law clearly outlined her punishment." Patricia stumbles on the beach as Karie releases her, hands covering her throat. "I hope *cough* you some day learn to show yourself such mercy." "And there is where you will fail Arthur, there is where every sob story and deceitful con-artist of a criminal will walk all over your bleeding heart and tear apart the city you claim to protect. May the gods have mercy on us all that day." With that Patricia drops her badge in the sand and walks off to join the Founders on Luxidious. QM Note: Right now I have, 4 affirmations of blowing the fort and 2 against. The majority of the Paladin and Town watch forces join the Founders aboard the golden dragon, Hoke and a few heroes mount Torc, as Euflear and Germ along with a few of the ex-Bonapartes scramble onto the Vermilion Wyvern. The remainder of the prisoners and sailors join the heroes upon the Magpie as the dragons and ship begin to hastily make for the harbor of Eubric. A few hundred meters out, Dyric spots the trail of well lain gunpowder set out on the beach. With a well aimed shot the assassin launches a flaming arrow which lights the trail snaking throughout the fortress to the well positioned explosives the sailors had quickly deployed. As the Bonaparte ships nearly reach the fort a gigantic fireball engulfs the horizon as wood, stone, and glass is flung sky high. The thunder of the explosion reverberates across the water as the ruins of the fort go up in smoke and a raging inferno. The Bonaparte ships change course and for the time being hold back from following the groups into the harbor. Several minutes pass before all of the heroes, founders, prisoners, sailors, paladins, and Town watch disembark onto the mainland at the harbor. "Alright heroes, where is Rosier, you said she was under the city, right?"

"And how many years after that did you avoid her, how many years did you try and forget her? Did you even look for your sister? That girl's death is on her own hands and if you feel some sort of guilt for not being there to fix her, that is something you'll need to live with." "You think an apology would have saved her? That she would have gotten off scot-free? How many bakers deserve to have their bread stolen, how many fishermen their catch? What right do the suffering have to take out their suffering on others?" Patricia eyed the dagger, "Is that it? You're so miserable that you can't stand to be alone with your hurt, so instead you have to inflict it upon others? Do you think that'll satisfy your rage, do you think it'll end here? How many more will suffer at your hand? When will the world be 'fair' enough in your eyes for you to stow your blade? You want to kill me? Go ahead, but if you're looking for a reason to justify your action, I won't be giving you that satisfaction."

"Outside the law? Apparently when the heads of the houses turned out to be murderers, warmongers, traitors, abusers, grave-robbers, and worse, who do you think served their arrest warrants? Those Founders had more right to this city than any of you lot did. Don't talk to me about the law when your own kin was shagging up the head of Eubric's entire underground crime syndicate. Do you know how many of your fellow heroes were backing that illegitimate mob boss, even some of your own veterans were helping him on the side. I killed your sister because she deserved to die, her chance at redemption ended whenever you decided to keep her out of your life, so don't you dare come here blaming me for your own failure." QM Note: The marketplace is still closed, so no bomb merchant. The wyvern doesn't seem capable of understanding Germ as the demon turns to the arguing Patricia and Karie, "Stay out of this rogue, I remember that girl, that thorn in my side. She played me and she played your whole organization for fools and when her ruin finally caught up with her I was glad to be the one to see her pay her due."

Germ spots the Vermilion Wyvern looking somewhat intimidated in the presence of Torc and Luxidious. "Depends... what sort of world are you intending to show me this time?" "In my time with the watch I have executed many brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and children. Every one of them had a reason of why they should be above the law, why they should be the exception to the rule. Without laws, without order, or an expectation of what behavior is acceptable and allows society to grow and flourish without fear or terror, who are we? What makes you believe your sister deserved to be free of the consequences of her actions?"

"Ah Dyric," Illdria smirked, "Don't tell me you were part of this little rescue attempt that nearly sank my ship? I assume your organization will be paying the transportation fees for all these folks." The marauder smiled before turning to her crew. "Well hurry up then, let's get her off the beach. Make sure any cracks in the hull get patched up other wise we'll be a sitting duck out there." "Those ships are filled with sailors, chap, not masons. If they want any chance at rebuilding they're going to need to convince the city to let 'em do it." The envelope disappears and a few moments later another poofs into existence near Throlar.

QM Note: I’ll have an NPC respond soon, but the z-mail system is working

"Perhaps your perspectives on her are tainted from other involvements. I think you'll find given actual resources her ideas for a better and safer Eubric are more sound then you'd actually give her credit for." As Arthur searches the crowd he eventually spots Illdria and the rest of the Magpie crew slightly berating Knife-tongue. "What the Hel did you do to my ship?!?" "Most of the powder's in the supply bunkers by the outer wall." The sailors round up nearly two hundred barrels of gunpowder for Atramor and the heroes to distribute. As the fort begins to empty leaders from both the Paladin forces and Town Watch arrive and after a short chat with Yuliana and Mycroft turn towards the rest of the heroes. The minotaur stands a good half-head taller than most and seems familiar to a couple of the heroes. Captain Cousland, trademark scowl and all, surveys the group. "Well then bit of a mess aye? Got nearly twenty men to move out, that ship of yours trustworthy?" "You lot caused a whole lot of headaches the past couple of weeks, some of you I can't say I was surprised, others it's a soddin' shame. I ain't here offerin' apologies and I doubt you lot are of a mind to either. Suffice it to say, I've got some good men that I wished hadn't gotten tangled up in all this mess. Good men who trusted you lot and I had little choice but to send to the gallows if we wanted to have some sort of standard. Whatever we're going into next, you just make sure those men, like Hoples... like Grash... make sure you don't give them a hope you can't deliver on." "Better off there then lettin' the Bonapartes retake this fort. Most of the cannon are destroyed, we wouldn't have much of a chance at survival. We don't really have that much of a choice." QM Note: Right now, Throlar is the only one vocally opposing the destruction of the fort. If there are others who feel the same please state so, otherwise we're going to move ahead with the majority of expressed opinions.

Boomingham spots, Lord Shadeaux along with his two remaining children, Detective Hoples, Paladin Commander Fervent, ex-members of the Town Watch Corporal Boral, Private Coral, Constable Grash, and Constable Timothee, two were-hound brothers Billian and Trillian, and Asa Nifelheimr, the Valkyrie. "Give her time, Lord Boomingham, what would you do if the nature of your very existence was a lie?" Wanderburg speaks up at Boomingham's mention of the Bonaparte ships. "What if there was nothing left to recapture? Some Wolfgang goons made off with a good deal of the powder stores, but there's still enough left to make a crater of this fort. Should serve as a big enough distraction while folks are transported off via what's left of that ship you came in on and the three dragons. It would surely be a loss, but they certainly wouldn't chance moving upon the entire city itself, without a beach-head they'd be forced to return to the open sea." "'It is often the things most hidden to the eyes of the world which are the most important' so Untergang used to say. To be mortal is to have ugliness within our lives, to be heroic is to persevere through it."

A little worse for wear by running aground into the beach of the harbor, Karie ascertains that the Magpie could still probably sail across the bay. The golden dragon looks up at Dyric from Euflear's side before sighing. "History will be judge of whether a group of people's successes or failures are remembered..." Mycroft steps in. "Perhaps, but history is not written yet, there is still time to make a difference. Through your leadership we may have erred in our attempt to rescue the city, but diplomacy and level-headedness wer never your strong suit, Yuliana." "Our review of the Watch revealed their commitment to rooting out its crookedness, we did and still do have faith that Captain Cousland believes in a Eubric and even a watch better than under the influence of the Houses." "In a city where influence is everything, the people deserve to know the character of those in whom they place their trust. That applied to all of the houses." QM Note: It's not vital to the main plot. "Untergang cast it and considering how paranoid he was, there's no telling how crafty he was." "I don't know, I don't know anything any more..." "Trouble is the bearer of change, the great equalizer among men, through it we discover who we truly are." Germ spots three Bonaparte ships on the horizon under full sail, cannons rolled out and heading straight for the fort. The Miracle Worker accepted the items. "A fool to the end, but at least one of conviction." Mycroft paused as he listened to Atramor's criticism. "Those who died, did so in the service of a freer Eubric, one free from the influence of the Houses. Some of our methods may have been harsh, but no more so than the strangle-hold some among the Houses placed upon the city. The paladins, those from the academy, yes even some among the Town Watch such as Captain Cousland and others among the city would still work for this city's benefit even without us. I have yet to come to a determination as to what our nature holds, but know this, everything we did, we did in service to a city and its people you claim to love as much as we do. Now... as for this demon." "Mycroft we can't go after it, we don't know what'll happen to..." "A risk that we'll have to take my dear. We are born of dreams and if we are truly to rise to the hope Euflear had in us, then we will face whatever adversity awaits us." The Fey One's tears begin to subside as she slowly addresses both the Founders and the Heroes. "I am sorry, I truly am... The pain I have brought, even inadvertently to all of you... when Rosier gained purchase within the Fey... the reality of all that I had lost over those many years... losing all of you... it crushed me more than the vile roots of that accursed demon..." "Then let us not dwell upon it Euflear, let us right this one wrong. Let us find this blight that truly sickens this city and end it. Heroes, we may never see eye to eye on what has transpired up till this point, but may we at least come together on what truly threatens the freedom of every man, woman, and child of this fair city. Lead on."

85% done.

Does anyone know if Lady Luck has a canon name yet?

"If the Bonapartes are charging it's because they're looking to recapture the fort. The only way they won't be attacking is if we raise a white flag and there ain't no way we're surrendering." "Granted that was coming from a group of heroes who had just slaughtered a patrol of watchmen and paladins, so..." "Perhaps... but being free from the houses ensured they would not be influenced by their corruption." "Do you think I relished at seeing how far my own family had fallen? To what lows of war-profiteering they had stooped? Did that stay my hand? No, because the people of this city deserved better than that and for that tough choices had to be made." "Untergang was the most distressed about our return, to him it was puzzle he couldn't unravel. I cannot speak to his intentions other than he went to retrieve the eggs and his understanding of arcane phenomenon has been sorely missed. As for Cain..." The Golden Dragon pauses taking in a deep breath, "As Helene said tough choices had to be made... for all of us." <Perhaps they should not have defended one then.> "It's a good thing I don't care about your approval." "Do you think we were blind? We walked the streets of Eubric for weeks, we spoke with the fishermen, the cleaning maids, the blacksmiths, the common everyday men. Those who were neither part of a House or had business dealings with them suffered as their power rose. Our hope relied upon the people of Eubric judging them and yourselves rightly." Bellanotte wipes a tear from her eye before rushing over to her family. "Thank you." "The seducer? A vile being of corruption and powerful temptations, dark texts describe how she would consume mortal souls through their dreams." All the Founders stare at Throlar as he succinctly sums up the situation, the following silence is almost deafening. "But that can't be right? I remember everything like it was yesterday, I... I...." the rogue drops to her knees rocking back and forth. "Twould certainly explain a great deal, the time skip, the teleportation..." "Euflear." The Fey One begins to cry, her emotions wavering between rage and sorrow. "I can't." "Far traveler." "It's my fault." "You cannot blame..." "Don't you understand?!? All of this, it's because of me. I brought you here, I thought I was strong, I thought I had made peace..." "Can there ever truly be lasting peace when we are separated from those we love?" Yuliana walks over to Euflear laying a hand upon the fairy's shoulder, the group voice softening. "Do not bear this burden... I still do not grasp what my or our companions' nature is or if I may even claim my own identity, but I know that it has been forged and shaped by you. That is enough for me dear friend." Mycroft turns to the heroes, "Heroes, what happened to Untergang, The Doomsayer?"

I guess I've never quite gotten his agenda, he's obviously from a different plane, but unlike characters like Hybros or Kheyli, I'm not sure what his driving influences or goals are. Bald and always has a blank smile? Kinda creepy.

"Yuliana?" The Golden Dragon looks back and gives a signal to the town watch forces waiting at the fortress gates. A few minutes pass before a half dozen or so prisoners start walking toward the group. "They try anything funny and you both know how this'll end." "Things were a bit more unclear right after your group's tussle with patrols in the area, we couldn't take any chances I'm afraid." The golden dragon growls to Torc. <Is your companion always this impertinent?> "No one sent us dragoon, and I can't say I like your tone, if you'd rather settle this in another manner..." "Which won't be needed." Mycroft glances between the two dragoons. "The truth is that none of us remember anything short of a few months ago. We remember the hall and then we all awoke in Dastan. We couldn't find Euflear, we didn't know what year it was or where we even were at the time." "If we didn't have Luxidious we may have never escaped that forest. We returned to Eubric as quickly as we could..." "And that's when we found out that things had gone so very wrong. Our home, our hall, our city had changed almost to a point where we didn't recognize it." "So we watched and we waited trying to figure what had happened. Eventually we learned about the houses and everything they were doing to undermine the city. We thought they had managed to corrupt all of you." "We were strong, but six is no match against the whole of Heroica and the forces of the Houses." "Yeah, so we started digging up dirt on the houses and leaking it to the press. The people of the city took care of the rest." "The town watch and paladin temple have been institutions since we began the hall, we were able to gain their support along with others in the city who had tired of the Houses influence." "You know the rest from there." The sailors look to the Founders and slowly sheath their weapons. "What about 'em?" The sailor points to the Bonapartes ships slowly approaching the island. QM Note: You actually died, the Miracle Worker revived you though. The Golden Dragon turns with an icy glare towards Lind. "Ah, the witch's stone? Untergang placed a seal upon it within the hall before he left to acquire the eggs you mentioned. I assume he ran into some of your party so you can forgive me for not turning over something for which he sacrificed his own life."

Flipz identifies as female now, announcement was a few months ago. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't quite figured out Germ's style either.

And that's always the tricky part and when writing a quest for 20 people, there's going to be differing levels of communication and I need to be contingent that some folks need an NPC to straight up say "Don't fight A" or "we can take B". Pandering might not be the best term, easy/unearned is more what I'm getting at. We enjoy heroic stories not because the protagonists have everything handed to them, but because they persevere through adversity and make do with the hand they are dealt. I appreciate your trying to go with the flow of the round Lind and get what you're trying to combat. Both Flipz and Pala also have valid points in that timing throughout this whole game has always been iffy. I'm OK with the conversations, sure it takes away from some of the visual of an ongoing battle, but the Founders are also engaging in the conversation. I could easily have them ignore any attempts at conversation and strictly roll the round as if talking had no effect, but given their current attitudes toward the situation, they weren't full on unreasonable quite yet. It is a tough balance though between respecting the situation and trying to communicate ones thoughts to the group given our format. At a normal live game these would be easy back and forths or side conversations and wouldn't really stick out so bad.

Germ's shouts from the deck of the Magpie give the Golden Dragon pause as she glances up at her companion before returning an icy glare at the demon.The Vermilion Wyvern launches itself into the sky as Dyric and Kiray quickly leap from the tower onto the beasts back as the creatures makes a dive for the beach. Lind and company square their shoulders against the senior fighters. Lind darts in with his blade but is bull-rushed by the mountain of a man and knocked completely off his feet his body crushed as it slams into the outer wall. Torald unleashes a desperate twister of sword and sorcery as Petaldan tries in vain to calm the rapidly deteriorating situation. Elphaba darts in with her stave and while unable to bypass the dragoon's defenses, manages to befuddle the fighter momentarily. Heckz prepares a last minute spell that rains motes of darkness upon the senior heroes, but the Golden Dragon quickly rallies her allies for a charge of the heroes ranks. Ezeran downs a tonic before trying to outsmart Lady Luck, but the mistress of misdirection spots his con and remains unimpressed. As the heroes' allies head for the safety of the outer wall. Arthur's words seem to hit a chord within the Miracle Worker. "Enough!" With a slam of his staff a white radiance washes across the field, the fallen sailors and even Lind sit up, their lives restored. The old man braces against his staff as he nearly collapses. "Let it end Yuliana." "Mycroft..." "MONSTERS!" Euflear launches herself across the beach at the Golden Dragon. The two collapse in a tussle."What devilry is this? " "Euflear?" "Get off of me! Have you been possessed?" Luxidious roars as the Founders drag the Fey One off of the Golden Dragon. "You shall all die. How dare you make a mockery of my companions." "Be still Euflear, we thought you were dead." "Dead? It is you who should be dead, I watched each and every one of you pass from this life and now you would stand before and dishonor their memory?" "Euflear honey, we're not sure how we got here, but clearly there is more to this than any of us expected." "Heroes..." The Miracle Worker's shaking voice echos across the sand. "Please, I... I beseech you. Lower your weapons, there... there has been enough death today." The ex-Bonaparte sailors watch the heroes, ready to follow suit.
