Waterbrick Down

"Detective, one of them is even named Throlar! Are you seriously going to stand here and turn a blind eye?" "Soldier... umm... I'm sure there are... plenty of dwarves with that name." "Believe you me sir, Captain Cousland will hear about this."

"Umm... yes. All official business, the findings will be published once the records are set straight. Umm... you can continue as you were..." "But sir, these are ex-members of Heroica, we have strict orders to arrest them on sight!" "Oh... umm... do you think heroica is dumb enough just to... umm... go wandering in the streets like this? Right folks?" Walock looks nervously at the heroes. "Dective, are you daft?" How will the heroes respond?

QM Note: Ah, sorry now I see. Yes it does affect the previous round, fixed, no more comforting spores.

QM Note: Fixed and fixed.

"You can drop your weapons on the ground and keep your hands where I can see them." At this moment another figure comes running up exhausted. "Soldier, you cannot... keep... running... like that. Who's the one leading... this... investigation..." Detective Warlock Hoples pauses when he recognizes the heroes. "Oh... dear."

Bellanotte's voice trembles as she continues to sing her rapid march, Hoke stabs his glaive into a spotted drake before running and jumping onto Torc's back. The brown dragon scoops up the standing party members and in a torrent of blades and dragon fire bring down two of the wyverns. Summoning all of his healing reserves Matthias faithfully patches up all of his companions as Althior revives Atramor and Dyric saving them from certain death. Atramor still groggy misses his strike against the vibrant green wyvern who once more spreads healing spores throughout the cavern further strengthening the resolve of the remaining lizards. Dyric fires off more bolts but can't manage to land any lethal shots. As the wyverns flit about the cave, one obsidian wyvern slams his full weight into Torc sending the dragon crashing into the cavern floor dealing considerable damage. Arial Fight: Enemies that are In Flight can only be hit with ranged weapons or spells. Once struck they will be Grounded and can be hit by melee weapons. At the end of the next round each Grounded creature has a 1/6 chance to become In Flight.

Ezeran finds his magic strangely resisted by the plant which offers no details about it's origin. "Well, anything?" "I was doing just fine, until your wizard friend just completely ignored me. Hmmph... Oh Wally? Oh funny you should mention that, he was supposed to meet me here 45 minutes ago, but I haven't see head nor tail of him. Imagine him, just blowing me off like that. Must be a wizard trait." The magic compass continues to spin lazily as Germ starts digging holes throughout the park. Everywhere the black knight digs he eventually finds more of the white rotten smelling roots. "What are you looking for?'

"Only the best for my cupcake! Am I supposed to let him languish unadorned?" The woman turns, blushing slightly. "My, aren't you... imposing. I remember when they kept such characters as yourself out of this garden. Are you here on some sort of business?" "It's a plant root, looks somewhat like what we pulled up in the Lost Forest." Germ does not find any large white plants in the Garden.

Atramor leaps into the fray dealing massive damage to the Vermilion Wyverns. Dyric follows up with bolts streaming through the air as Althior and Matthias patch themselves up. Hoke tries to bring down one of the speckled wyvern, but has to dodge as the drake snaps at his heals. Torc swoops in with a gout of flame bringing Hoke some much needed luck. Unhinderd the Hunter Wyverns dive into the melee downing both Dyric and Atramor with merciless precision. Bellanotte staggers with poison in her system and Althior is stunned momentarily by an Obsidian Wyvern. Arial Fight: Enemies that are In Flight can only be hit with ranged weapons or spells. Once struck they will be Grounded and can be hit by melee weapons. At the end of the next round each Grounded creature has a 1/6 chance to become In Flight.

Torald doesn't recognize any of the dogs, however he notes the center hound wears a collar studded with amethysts. Germ's shovel hits a thick white root growing underneath the surface of the dirt.

QM Note: He is not.

"Sounds good. You puttin' disguises up again? It's quite a ways across town." Karie's Magic Compass points north-west upon her thought of Boomingham and south for Atramor.

QM Note: Still in need of an action for Bellanotte, will run the round in about 8hrs.

"Now that I can agree on, we'd best not be sittin' out here in the open fer very much longer. No tellin' how long before a watch patrol comes by. Where to?"

QM Note: Good catch, fixed. Thanks. Germ glances down at the compass and notes that the needle settles on South West, then spins and points East, then North, then South, unable to land on a single point it simply rotates listlessly. The gardens are fairly deserted at the moment and Ezeran doesn't see any sign of the arbomancer near them, but the gardens are extensive. "Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Well look who it is!" Investigating the surrounding area, Petaldan notes several flower beds with fresh flowers growing quite healthily despite the surrounding snow banks.

Snow is piled everywhere, but some patches of green can be made out throughout the park. A number of aristocratic ladies are walking their hounds as the heroes approach.

"I don't know how long you've been part of Heroica, Monk. But you and I both know Heroica ain't the spotless lamb some people like to think it is. The orc's got his point and so does Karie, the Hall's screwed up and in a way it's deservin' of what the Founders gave 'em. I don't know if they're real or not, can't say people poppin' out of the woodwork after all these years ain't somethin' new. Think of Lawrence Boomingham, he was around durin' the time of the founders and yet we ain't questionin' his validity. Guess what I'm tryin' to say, is there's not a lot we can do about the past, best thing we can do is make the best of the future we got." "Aye, we've got a lead at least to this Winkin' Gargoyle Inn. We headin' there, or is there somewhere else you all think we should investigate?" "Perhaps this city don't really need a Heroica or the Founders at all. Perhaps what it needs is to take responsibility for itself..." The article goes on for a few more sentences mainly reviewing some of Heroica's more noble acts involving their work in foreign nations such as Xu, Dastan, and Baltarock.

QM Note: The Sterile Gloves will keep Hoke from becoming poisoned.

"As I said Heroica helped this paper once and were paid accordingly, but that was many years ago. Since then they've gone downhill." "Lawful in that they had a warrant, if those "heroes" were minding their own business they should have stood aside." "I hope for this city's sake that will not be necessary." Throlar notes that Founders looked older than some of their depictions in the hall and that Lady Luck's hair was now white, not blonde. "I'm afraid it is you who have your facts wrong, on nearly every occasions members of Heroica failed to stop the Wolfgang and now the truth is getting out that most of them on those missions ended up joining the Wolfgang."

QM Note: Just so you're aware Matthias will also need to spend one of his turns to recover from stunned as well. QM Note: I'm not sure about the difference. After every hit, I roll another d6 and if he get's a 1 the target is assassinated if not immune to Sudden Death. The warmonger crossbow only deals damage to the enemies above and below. Effects and assassination rolls do not affect the secondary targets, I've been running Matthias's cannon the same way.

Hoke plunges his halbered into another wyvern as Atramor pops multiple consumables reviving Bellanotte and Dyric. Both of whom are pulled back from a blackness unlike ever they had experience prior. Althior rolls to one side as a speckled drake unleashes a cloud of corrosive mist. With a timely wind spell, the prophet disspates the deadly gas and slamming one of the Hunter Wyverns into the cavern wall. Matthias does his best to staunch Althior's wounds as Dyric fires off bolt after bolt into the furious lizards, Bellanotte singing her melody once more crouched behind a boulder for cover. With a tremendous roar Torc arrives on the scene flames spilling from her mouth, her eyes filled with ferocity and hate for the wyverns. <You shall all burn, betrayers!> Arial Fight: Enemies that are In Flight can only be hit with ranged weapons or spells. Once struck they will be Grounded and can be hit by melee weapons. At the end of the next round each Grounded creature has a 1/6 chance to become In Flight.

"Easier to believe that I've got a bunch of heroes masquerading in my office, or that there's a giant conspiracy that involves the potentially immortal founders actually helping this city? If you've payed any attention of late, Captain Cousland and the Watch have been actually improving the safety of this city, crime has dropped, Wolfgang leaders caught and executed, the self proclaimed 'Wolf King' is currently cowering in his sewers. The Fey One is an ambassador to the Faerie Monarch, who am I to know what business she is currently on?" Rook pauses and takes a drink from a nearby goblet. "As for Heroica's exile from their precious hall, I've made it quite clear that even those who apparently didn't side with a house still made themselves complicit in this whole mess by preventing a lawful arrest and participating in the murder Town Watch and Paladin members. If you're looking to justify their actions, you've come to the wrong establishment. I've told you what I know about the Filly, do you prefer to test me any further?" Rook's eyes once again glow with sorcerous power.
