Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

[D. Rex]

The Two of you head north after leaving the arena. when you get a good look around you Notice that much of the Pillar of Might is Weapon shops, Dojo's, and Gyms. Seems that this District Focuses on one's Physical abilities. Moving on to The Palace of the Destroyer, you approach colossal petrified tree with a large door on it. It also has a sign above the door in a language you've never seen before... but some how you can read it? It Reads "Palace of Ash". According to the map, you are in the right place.



Lokckar's Palace is on the far end of the Pillar of Courage.

At the door, Toryk stares at the sign for a few second. Then dismisses the oddity as some sort of ascended magic. Who knew what to be surprised about now? Novel.

The gnoll raised a hand to knock in the palace door with his furry knuckles. "Ahoy!" He called, giving a few moments for a reply before trying to open the door on his own.

"You're not on a ship, you know. Do you know any other greetings?" He asked, watching the gnoll try to open the door. Maybe he's succeed and they could just go inside to find their rooms.

"You're not on a ship, you know. Do you know any other greetings?" He asked, watching the gnoll try to open the door. Maybe he's succeed and they could just go inside to find their rooms.

"I do." Toryk said simply. "It be a word that do carries its sound, lubber. If it do work, than it do work. If it can be heard on a ship, it can be heard in a palace. Besides, I do no be getting paid to speak pretty, so I got no reason to bother."

As You Open the door, you are struck with a wooden stool and fall on your back. as you witness what can best be described as a whole tavern brawl of chaos! inside, you can see a wide range of races fighting each other. But what sticks out most in the brawl is a trood and a bugbear teaming up to fight a flying tiefling woman. "You Really done it this time you little runt! You ready to come down here to fight like a MAN!?!" The Bug bear shouted in a fury . "I'm a girl so I'm a graid I can't do that... but Catch me if you can!" The Tiefling responded with glee. "Why'd you have to go and eat our Pork Fry, You little glutton?! We were saving it for lunch!" The Trood demanded, piloting what seemed to be a machine of some kind. "Should have kept your names on it! come and get me!" She chimed, dodging missiles from the walking machine... which collided with the inner walls of the main hall, and the damage instantly started to repair itself. The chaos seems to be too thick for them to even notice you or Kalvienne.

After getting back up from the rogue chair attack, Toryk looked inside the palace with a definite grimace. And as he witnessed the seen, he came to the conclusion that he didn't care at all. Inconvenient obstacles to his current goal. If he wasn't coming here with the assumption that every one of them was likely stronger than him, he would have just gone through middle and shot whoever tried to stop him.

But fine. If this was what he had to go through, so be it.

Toryk would try to go around the fight, he was here to find Xai, after all. Not his peons. They could come later.

Seeing the gnoll get knocked over by a stray stool, Kalvienne nearly collapsed from laughter. He was cackling and wheezing, trying to catch his breath as he stumbled inside, trying to find the most approachable, calm-looking person that could maybe help them a bit.

You see This woman near the mouth of the entrance. Drinking what seems to be beer. beside her are several large sacks, presumably filled with food. she seems to be waiting for something

Xai doesn't seem to be here at the moment, but you see the woman chilling by the door.

Perking up at that, Kalvienne decides to approach. "Hello, ma'am. Pardon my interruption, I'm hoping you could help me with some directions, perhaps? We've just finished our trials." He smiled charmingly.

Of course he wasn't here. Toryk assumed that already. Figured he'd be in some flashy throne. But no where to go but forward, and the woman by that door seemed important enough. If she wasn't, he would dismiss her and go through the door.

Kalvin reached her first, but Toryk just blunt upped and asked her what he wanted. "Oi, where do be Xai?"

The woman pulls her self away from her drink to speak to you. "You are two of new recruits, no? Welcome to the ascended plane. You'll have to pardon your fellow subordinates, They always seem to get this way after trials." she smiled, and stood up to greet you "My Name, Is Demise. I am an attendant of the gods... Xai's attendant to be exact. What could I do for you gentlemen?" she inquired.

He was glad to see that she wasn't as intense as the other people here. "Xai mentioned something about rooms.. Could I know where mine is? And where Xai might currently be as well. The winged woman mentioned him eating somewhere?" He asked.

"Demise..." the gnoll mused. Xai did seem the type to name his secretary that. But be it no matter. "They can do as they please." He said about the others. So long as they didn't interfere with him, he meant that too. "I be Toryk. I be looking for Xai so that I can begin this whole mentoring thing. Be gotting questions and learning to be done. And if he no be here, then it would be nice to know where is I can practice myself without breaking nothing. And where I can be getting equipment to better do me job."

 

[TyranntX]

She would point a finger out the door "Lord Xai is currently at one of the establishments in the pillar of Leadership, no doubt stuffing his face. He doen't like eating when there's this much chaos about." She paused to point at the only visible flight of stairs, on the other side of the brawl. "Your rooms are up those stairs, first hall on the left, and the 8th and 9th doors on the right." she smiled for a moment "You may want to wait a few moments first though, it's a bit hectic at the moment."

"Lord Xai will be here as soon as things calm down... which should be as soon as Zoranak comes back with the rest of the groceries." She beamed, and took another sip of her beer. "If it's work you are looking for, you can check either of the walls by this door. One of these quests may be a good start for you, no?" she remarked, and then pointed out the door. "The Pillar of Might is filled with shops of all kinds, but if it's ranged weapons you'd best search the Pillar of Balance... Otherwise The Pillar of Might is the place to be."

That seemed rather.. ironic. Someone that chaotic not wanting to eat in chaos. How amusing. "I see. Thank you for the information.. Do any of the pillars sell pets and the like?" He asked curiously. Maybe he'd check for some work and take a peek at said shops if there are any

Hmmph. So not even Xai appreciated his own antics from others. "And do this feasting God be in any mood to be teaching or do it be more likely he would waste our time?" Toryk asked.

Toryk looked at the wall beside her, looking at the supposed quests. So they did apparently have work. What was this? Some sort of guild? "And what we get for doing the quests? Do it be worth our while?"

"I heard about the shops. But I do no be supposing that becoming an ascended comes with a sign-on bonus, eh?"


"But it not be just work. I got end demons to kill, Ratta first. And I do bet that I no strong enough for that. How do I get stronger here, Demise?"

"Hmmm, if its animals you are looking for you are better off looking in the mortal planes." She replied.

"Lord Xai is an excellent teacher... if you can manage to survive his lessons." she laughed.

"Money, treasure, and some other objects. Some of the lower ranked jobs don't pay as much but are safer to do... while the higher rank jobs pay loads, but you might not come back without a few scrapes and bruises." she paused to sip her beer. "This wall has Typical quests, like stopping bandit raids, finding lost children, exploration, and even escort missions.... The other wall over there is for hunting Hell Knights, as many have become troublesome enough to get bounties put on them."

She then "You'll get a discount for shopping at any store here at the Pillar of might, as it is the home district of Lord Xai" she remarked.

"If you wish to train you need only ask any of the gods for lessons, you may also use any of the facilities in any of the Pillars to enhance your mind and or body... for a fee of course" she smiled

"He do better be. But we will find that out soon. And you said he was at some food place?"


Toryk looked over the job listing and frowned. "What manner of nonsense do this be?" He asked. "These be not but stuff you be finding in any tavern in the world. Figued he be wanting us to destroy stuff." A bit disappointed, he began looking them over. To get an idea of what atrength he should expect to be, and what he got out of it.

 

[Sherwood]

Beorin is feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of meeting Gagail in person! It is one thing to say a prayer to your divine patron, but to actually rub elbows with him? Amazing! At this point, wild horses would have trouble keeping the burly dwarf from getting to Gagail.

He then takes his map and looks it over to see where he needs to go to meet his patron.

"Indeed, he'll be back once the commotion dies down... which should be long now" she replied once more.

The God King's Palace is in the middle of the Pillar of Fortitude.

 

[DuckPrince]

He thanked her for the assistance before he decided to look over the quests to get a feel for the rewards and difficulty while they waited for Xai.

Toryk was looking at them too. But do we need a check to look over papers stapled to a wall?
