"Ah thank you for reminding me of my writ, but I do recall handing Johon the Rose." Sylph stood, gazing at the items from afar... "Why does it seem more and more like money is the true source of power." Jested Sylph.

"That's rather underhanded..." Stated Che Qi. "And I can't fly on this wing... Not that I could with this wind to begin with. Why do you need it to stop leaving? That is the ship of the man who bought my cloth... But he's insane to try and sail in the middle of a Hurricane... Even with his crew of Aquomancers, and the maddest captain I've ever met. If you ask me, he doesn't care if he makes it where he's going or not. OoC: It has no time limit and does not have a very big story-function. It's more RP related than regular loot. Since Che Qi is alive, he'll be in Brendenton next Quest that features Brendenton too. "Alas, I do not" stated Che Qi. "I have only the 3,000 I showed you. That should last me 3 years if I go slow on it, with enough to begin investing in my future."

Do you really need to ask? Just keep those three alive so that they can get their own Romeo and Julius Quest later. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Hey, Sealing and Blinding the Bleeding was all me! He only took an interest to me after that! First thing he told me to do was get Punii to make bombs outside of combat, then to put the spirit before the evoke, then to not target the mushroom pile. (More to come. I just needed to defend my pride ) ~Insectoid Aristocrat

"Brendenton is my home." stated Che Qi sadly. "To flee it in its time of need would make me unable to live with myself. I respect your council, but I must stay here. I cannot fight, but I shall do what I can to fix our city." "I'm afraid I have no food on me to offer you, good sir." Stated the were-raven merchant. "But perhaps if you would like to return with me to my apartment, I could see what I have. You'd do well to get out of the storm too." he finished, looking up at the torrential downpour.

As would I, 62... When the damn thing's finished! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

And then they engage in a squicky make-out session. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

I'll move you all along once everyone has spoken... Probably tomorrow.

Well, not me. Who wants it? I want to hear a debate. Arguments and counter arguments. Chop-chop. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

I'm not quite sure what to say about this Quest apart from :wub: :wub: :wub: I agree that the length of the Quest definitely payed off. I wasn't bored for a moment, and there was enough plot and investment in the characters that the RP was great even (actually, especially) during the battles. Before this Quest I had always lamented how I never got to show Sylph's dark side, but I did in this Quest and then some. He developed Quite a bit over the course of this Quest. I even exposed some of his actual thoughts. Also, I'm quite pleased that I got to share my plans for Sylph's character with someone finally. It's not easy being the only one who knows your character's race, gender, age, and plans.... Especially when the Character wants them all to remain a mystery. Aside from the RP angle, I particularly enjoyed strategizing around your very challenging Baddies. At some points, since I basically told everyone what to do, I felt as if you and I were duking it out against each-other. In the beginning I accepted a good bit of help from Flipz now-and-then, so I would like to thank him for assisting me work my way into the role of a strategist. Over-all, I think the fight with Aquos was my favorite as a combination of RP and Strategy, because after figuring the strategy out of healing the bastard to deal with his counterstrike ( I know you loved that. ), we curb-stomped the Blind Boss, and I had just watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, and It felt allot like Mustang's immolation of Envy in that dark revenge-y way that Sylph has convinced himself he can't feel. I certainly got a good work-out from it. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Your "Game of Thrones" Quotes are safe in the House of the Undying. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

OoC: I'm still planning on purchasing stuff.

Oh. I hate doing basic math. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Sylph handed Rome the Sword Fragments. "See if you can't get these fixed-up." Sylph stated in a parental voice.

Sorry for the Double-post. I thought it'd Merge. How do the overkill gloves work for Assassins that roll insta-kill? ~Insectoid Aristocrat

According to my calendar, it's still April. I'm bad at remembering exact dates. All the ones who's machinations we ended. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

As a reward for ending a genocidal maniac's machinations over the course of 6 months, could Elphaba's Magic Wagon visit Luosh on its way off to other lands? ~Insectoid Aristocrat

OoC: Sylph would have taken it, but as a healer, he has no need to fear Undead damage at-all!

"Very Well." Stated Sylph calmly, handing Elgar the Regret's hide, and keeping the Suffering's Hide for his own. "Hopefully I can sell this to get myself something actually protective." Stated Sylph with a tired joking voice.

He walked, beckoning Karie back to his toppled cart. He opened an almost invisible compartment on the underside which held a very large sack jingling with gold. "This is why I was attacked." He stated, holding it out to be viewed, but not touched, by only the party. He looked around cautiously, returning the thing to his compartment. The party could tell that there was over 1,000 gold in the sack... maybe more likely 3,000. "This is my life's work." he stated in a numb tenor. The sound of sadness was expressed rather strangely in the were-raven's voice. "I sold my life's collection of cloth to the only man in the market buying... I had to. The price is an insult, as my stores of cloth were worth over 10,000... Even in this economy.... But this was my last chance to get anything. With the law passing tomorrow, I would never have been able to make more than what I just received, and moreover, I would never have been able to do it on my own terms. Where's the honour in bribing lords and clergymen in back door deals to succeed in business? How could those foreigners come to this city and violate our rights in such an underhanded way?" Che Qi was not challenging Karie--he didn't even know of the party's involvement--but rather, he was lamenting his desperate situation, and expressing how cheated he felt. "It's not just. It's not honourable. And I'm not going to tolerate it." He finished, now talking more to himself than Karie, in a determined, self-consolatory way. "For saving me, I owe you my life. I hope that somehow I can return the favour to you in some way in the future. I have little money, as you can see, but if there is any favour you need, all you must do is ask me, and I shall see what I can do." All Party Members receive a favour from Che Qi, which can be used now, later, or never. Be realistic with what you ask, he's not a genie and does not have any considerable clout. At the most, he can probably get you a physical store discount or something, but not all rewards are tangible.

I actually have big plans for something of the like in the future (basically my big story arch plans), although, it is very possible for there to be multiple orders who worship Sylvania. Also, Sylph worships/may-have-been-in-a-relationship-with-at-some-point (not in a 100% literal way) Sylvania. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

He stated matter-a-factly.
