Lind joins the Party! Lind Whisperer (Lind Whisperer) 25-year-old Human Black Knight Level 24.66 *Immune to Dark* Power Bonus: +7 Defense: 13 Health: 40/40 Gold: 273 Stealth: 0 Equipment: Gladius (WP: 16, darkness-elemental greatsword, 1/3 chance of causing Fragile on successful hits), Invader's Armour (SP: 3, wearer is encouraged when their current health is at half or below the wearer's maximum level), Immortal Palms (+7 power; all battle start with one round of Electric weather. Handwear.), Vorpalis Netherwings (SP: 4, the wearer deals double damage to humanoid type enemies and takes half damage from Holy/Light enemies. Backwear, suitable for anyone.), Shield of the Silent Knight (Shield, SP:8, attackers have a 50% chance of being Sealed), QM Note: I’ll update your equipment in a few hours. "Agreed." Skrall nods looking slightly tense at Karie's ire over the Wolfgang. "Lind, glad to have ya along, just take care ya keep yer head on straight."

QM Note: Just so there is no confusion, Tiger Balming Lady Luck will not get rid of Lucky or Nimble. They are permanent effects as long as she has those artifacts equipped, just like Dyric's Lucky Die. You'll be able to get rid of the Encouraged effect, but that's all. Also, just so no one unnecessarily worries, if anyone dies, they're not out of the quest, I do have something planned out.

Just the seal bearer.

"Or if you say the way is cleared, Matthias could stay here and you could fetch the body, right?" Chesterine thinks for a moment. "But, I've been cooped up in here just waiting for the ice-cream social, this will be a welcome distraction." "I should hope so. If anything were to happen to Chesterine... I don't know how her brothers would react." "Don't worry Mable, with Mr. Matthias the dragon tamer along, I'm sure we'll be back in a jiffy."

Boomingham lines up a tremendous hit upon Lady Luck, but the nimble Founder dodges away at the last second, slamming a dagger to the hilt into Petaldan. Eric and Torald attempt to corner the acrobat, but can't seem to pin her down, only further encouraging her antics and discouraging themselves. Ezeran manages to stun Lady Luck for only a moment as Skuld recovers some of her precious Ether. The Founder circles the party dodging in and out flinging daggers in every direction. Petaldan goes down, a dagger in his side, Boomingham and Eric are also stabbed, but with each strike the Vindicators work in Tandem following up with precision parries. "Is that enough of an answer for you, Vindicator?"

Chesterine is gazing off into the distance seemingly watching something. "Oh, wuh? You want me to talk to a dead guy? Is he as handsome as Matthias?"

"I have no interest on flying on a dragon, Mr. Ablesword. I have my children to think about." Mabel seems dissatisfied with Hoke's answer. "That would be if we raised the body. If you simply wish to communicate with the spirit, their memories should be intact."

"Excuse me, do you expect me to go 'adventuring' with you? I'll gladly consult, but swinging a sword or such work, is why we paid you in the past for your work, heroes."

"Your wine, mam." The bartender slides the goblet down to the minstrel's hand.

"Well as I said, raising the body will only get you a mute walking corpse, but I can of course employ spiritism to chat with this rotting stiff you found. I assume you brought the body with you?"

"Oh! A Founder, are you sure it's their body? Even so, while a necromancer such as myself might be able to speak with them, raising them in any state of their former self is outside our abilities I'm afraid. The undead are without souls and but the faintest glimmers of memories."

"I said I smelt him, I didn't see him." "No, I meant heroes. You're the only other ones who knew about our 'family' issues. If you're talking about the Dragon Lord, we read about that in the paper, I don't see how helping the veterans out now that the Founders are in charge would do anyone any good. I'm still not quite sure what your asking about Althior."

QM Note: Doomed takes 3 rounds to take effect, she would become immune before it finished.

"You take that thing... off of my counter." QM Note: Folks are free to interact with Lind while passing out of the inn. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The party heads off through the streets of Eubric, thankfully the Ji Pei palace being only a block away and the Tritech Company adjacent, they didn't have any issue navigating the way undetected by any patrolling guards. Upon knocking at the door of the Tritech Company they are quickly led inside to the main laboratory. The lab has several staff who are hurriedly packing components and equipment into giant crates, Lead Engineer Monalisa Gioconda greets the heroes. "Well this is quite the surprise, didn't think most of you lot were sticking your heads above ground these days!"

"Where are my manners! Thank you for the introduction Arthur." "There's an ice-cream social next week at the Academy of Enlightenment. I don't have a date yet..." "Well yes there is that, Chesterine. I think the poor gnome might have been asking in general. Realistically, Mr. Matthias, we're not quite sure. It's been a bit hectic around here as I'm sure you can imagine, what with this rioters outside our door lately." Mable takes a sip from her tea. "Now I won't deny, we have our fair share of somewhat scandalous incidents, mostly all accidental mind you. But the way that dreadful paper made it sound, you'd think we were sacrificing our children to demon lords on purpose! And even so, how the Herald ever got wind of some of those stories... the only other people involved were folks from your own organization." "You didn't tell them about my journals." Chesterine rolls her eyes. "Ah yes, someone apparently looked through Chesterine's journals." "They had a spell-lock. The magic smelled like a dwarf." "Since when does magic smell, dear Chesterine?"

QM Note: You are correct, fixed.

Torald, try as he may, still can't manage to pull of the hex correctly as Ezeran steps in and blasts the founder with a fireball to the face. Petaldan and Boomingham land tremendous strikes on Lady Luck sending her staggering. Eric takes the opportunity to down a mead as Elphaba swings and misses the founder. Skuld attempts to land a hit, but swiftly retreats as more daggers thrown wildly about barely miss hitting her.

"Well met Master Matthias, it is not often we have entertained a druid in our home, do forgive some of our decor." Matthias notes several taxidermied magical beasts around the room. "I like your hat." "Likewise Mr. Ablesword. If we have more visitors, perhaps we should invite them in?" "Of course." Mabel Ziegfried claps her hands and a large teapot, cream, sugar, and several cakes appear in the middle of the room on the sitting room table. "Vacation!" Chesterine begins pouring the tea. "Well, something like that. Most of the family teleported to the Ever Summer Islands, at least until this whole thing blew over. We didn't want the children being exposed to the nastiness that's been lurking outside our gates lately. I'll be joining them for the weekend, but there's still things to attend to here, so it's just me, Chesterine, Arthur, Noel, their mother Valentine, and my half-brother Marco."

Noel looks rather sheepishly down at his boots. "It was only a void eater, and besides I wouldn't have let it eat you. Mom would have had my head." After Arthur departs a few awkward moments pass before two women in flowing wizard robes walk downstairs into the drawing room where the heroes had gathered. "Althior Emorith! As I live and breathe, what a pleasant surprise, it's been an age since you've stopped by! Arthur said we had visitors, but he didn't mention you. Please sit and introduce your friends." With a flick of her wand, the wizard summons a half dozen cozy armchairs around the sitting room. "Tea?" Chesterine sits quietly watching the group, she smiles rather bashfully at Matthias. "Hi."

QM Note: As Karie's leading this band, I'll wait another 24hrs for confirmation, otherwise we'll proceed.

"Sheez, just chillax bro. Give me a sec, here." Noel goes to a nearby coat closet and after casting a quick spell opens the door letting Althior, Atramor, Hoke, and Matthias come tumbling out. "It was pretty easy, just shunted the front door into a pocket dimension in the void. Ya don't have to drag mom into it."

"Just a little trapdoor to the void. They're fine, they haven't been eaten... yet. Maybe they should learn some manners and knock next time." "Wait, what do you mean by eaten?"

"Master Arthur, thank you for your sympathies. The revelation came as a shock to us all, father still hasn't been released from holding and my siblings... well they're keeping it together. I left them at the Dragon House, I hope they're still ok... What of your dragon? Father told us about how the young drake took to you so well." At this point Noel joins Arthur and Dyric at the front door. "Hey, sup losers. We got more visitors? Careful, there's some shifty insult lobbing ones I just took care of."

The heroes spread out and surround the Founder, in a quick succession of swings and cleaves, Boomingham and Eric both manage to bring their blades down on the nimble fighter as Ezeran momentarily stuns her saving Petaldan from a rather nasty strike. Torald utters a spell in the language of the void, but Lady luck manages to dodge out of the way. Elphaba quickly steps out of reach as the Founder's daggers go whizzing past her ear. Germ munches on a mushroom and feels light on his feet but at the same time strangely vulnerable, the thought registers for only a moment before four daggers sink into his back downing the black knight in an instant.
