Shadowfall

[Blewcheese]

(Oh yeah. Ooh yeaaaaaah... Forgot about that. #2pro4u )

Pops sighed. "Anyway, do you happen to know anything about a Beacon, Taggard? It's an object that opens the way to Oranihill, which is where we're traveling." He thought to himself about the orb from earlier, wondering if that was it.

[Battal]

(Pops is a mentalist, and he can't figure out that the magical, important-looking ball that came from a temple full of texts about Shadowfall is what they're looking for?)

 

(Ouch.  Maybe I'm being a bit too cold.)

 

Taggard's face darkened.  He scraped a bit of food onto his plate before replying.  "I've heard of that place before.  By some old man by the name of Vorteth."

 

He settled back into his chair, absentmindedly eating a turkey leg.

 

"He came into my house, half unconscious and bleeding profusely.  Much like our friend in the infirmary.  After we had patched him up to the point where he could talk, I asked the man who he was and how he got hurt.  He told me he was Azcar Vorteth, and he had come from Oranihil.  After that, he just passed out again.  By the time he was healed up, he just picked up his things and walked away.  Never did see him again, but he did leave behind a very nice map.  I've never had the courage to travel to Oranihil and see what's there for myself, though."

Hmm.  We already have like 2 red hound chars...  xD

 

Change it up and I'll accept.

[Blewcheese]

(Such doge.

 

Battal, the debul can't be cold... Can you?)

 

"Vorteth?" Pops thought a moment. So he had escaped the soul trap... "I know that man... You wouldn't mind if we looked at that map, would you?"

[Battal]

 

"Vorteth?" Pops thought a moment. So he had escaped the soul trap...

(It was some time ago.)

 

Taggard pulls out an exact replica of the map the group already possesses.

[Blewcheese]

(Ah.)

Pops looks at the map and nods. "That place is where Shadowfall is making his preparations. We need to get there and defeat him before he completes the process." He continues eating, lost in thought.

[Battal]

Taggard tosses a turkey bone onto his plate.  "Well, if you say so."  He says.  "Is there anything you need for this...quest?"

[Blewcheese]

"I have a suspicion that the beacon is here, and I'm fairly sure I know what it is. But perhaps you won't like the fact that we need it."

[Battal]

"Well, you are free to search through my treasure room for whatever you're looking for."  Taggard says.  "So long as you don't steal anything."  He adds with a chuckle,

[Blewcheese]

"Yes... But if we were to find what we needed, how much compensation would you ask for?"

[Battal]

Taggard thinks for a few moments.  During this time, more pigs enter the room and clear the table.  "Depends on the object."  He finally says.

[Strangerdanger101]

"So, where are we going again?"

[Blewcheese]

Pops sighs, thinking of a random item. "For example... perhaps what we need is a bar of gold."

[Battal]

Taggard thinks.  "But then again, it wouldn't just be a bar of gold, would it."

 

His usually happy face is now stern.  Almost angry.

 

"Now listen.  I don't know if your story is just so you can try to rip me off, or if it is true; but either way, you can't take it!  You know the danger I went through to get that thing?!?!?!?  Just so I can give it away on the word of some random guests of mine?!?!?!  NO!"

 

He takes a couple of deep breaths.

 

"Look.  I want to help you, I really do.  But it's simply too valuable to me.  I'm sorry."

 

He stands up from his chair, then leaves the room.

[Blewcheese]

(Where oh where did @Will go?)

Pops sighs. He'd suspected it would be something like that. The beacon must have a tremendous amount of value for him to react in such a way. But what did the beacon mean to him? What could it possibly help him with?

[Battal]

(Remember how monsters refuse to come close to it?)

[Blewcheese]

(Yeah, but what about those vicious nightly guards he talked about?)

[Battal]

(Who said they were monsters?)

[Blewcheese]

(I never said that, what I mean was if they're so vicious why can't they hold off monsters that would come?)

[Battal]

(I never said that, what I mean was if they're so vicious why can't they hold off monsters that would come?)

 

(Because.)

 

[Blewcheese]

(Oh, yeah, good point. I wanna wait for Will before continuing.)

[Percival]

(Cough. Crazy person waiting.)

[Strangerdanger101]

(Oh well. At least we can still continue Essence of souls.)

[Will]

Dark Will rises from his chair, and grabs Will's dagger. Will quickly rises from his chair.

"What the f**k are you doing?!"

"I'm making sure this mission doesn't fail because some prat is too greedy to give us something we need."

"But you can't just kill him!"

Dark Will bashes Will on the head with the hilt of the knife, momentarily knocking him out. The then enters the room Taggard was in. Various shouts can be heard from within, and then the sound of a knife being drawn is heard. The voices quickly change to a much quieter volume.

(Battal, I have to go for a while, you decide what happens next.)
