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

[Equusheart]

Brea blinked. Again with the riddles? She looked around for a server to flag down for some ale, thinking she might need it in order to deal with this one. "By all means, knock yourself out."

 

[D. Rex]

"Then it seems you have a but one solution... don't die" he would say with a snicker.

"Good luck with that, I look forward to the show..."

"Not much point in it now, Gagail's power is fading from the world, in a few more decades he'll be dead... and then one of us will be tasked to take his place. So do me a favor, no matter how ridiculous Gagail's words may be, humor him. You can do most of what you please under me so long as you obey the Ascended creed."

Spoiler: The Ascended Creed

1. Do not challenge Xai, lest you seek your destruction
2. Do not tamper with the Temporal Slipstream
3. Do not Tamper with the Spatial Array
4. Trust your Mentor, and they will trust you.
5. The assisting of a Hell Knight is Punishable by Damnation

Xai would summom a bag pf coin, there's 4,000g inside "I expect this will be payed off from your upcoming quest? Because if so why not Take Equusheart and @FactionParadox while you are at it? Build up some team skills."

Lastly, Xai snaps his figures and states with a glint in his eye "The pun system is now disabled and The chaos boxes are now in play... Have with that." His attention then drew to Brea



The Destroyer looks to you, and summons a chair for you to sit in. "It's more comfortable if you don't stand. Come, tell me if there's anything I can do for you."

Toryk took the bag of coins, drawing it closer to him with both arms. This would get them started nicely. "That it all,, soon as I get me coin from its completion,, so to will you get yours. Should I fail, well, you will still get your dues from from any quest thereafter till the debt be paid. I be not knowing them names, Lord Xai. Nor will I bother pretending too. As for bringing others, well we will see."




Toryk stood up. "I got things to be getting ready for. Unless you need me for anything else, I shall be taking me leave. And should you two be joining me, I'll meet ye all back here."

Waiting for confirmation, he would turn and leave, ruffling the hair of both Brea and Kalvin as he passed.

Time to find a nice tranquilizer shooting gun. Something to take out take the thing. That quest should be what he needs to set up a proper workshop and prepare himself for the real job ahead.

Brea blinked. Again with the riddles? She looked around for a server to flag down for some ale, thinking she might need it in order to deal with this one. "By all means, knock yourself out."

Xai finished off is drink, and spoke to you specifically. "Well Brea, I chose you for the same reason I chose all why I choose all who reside under the dragon zodiac... To lift you above your cast and mold you into something greater than you could ever imagine. You are not just a student, you are are a soul in need of guidance wandering the dark... and I am your Lantern. As For YOU Equusheart , My purpose is to help Brea not just be a great ascended but stay alive long enough to see the end of this campaign same as all the other player characters and their characters... I think you are a person who worries too much about falling behind, RPNation has a terrible notification system and even the DM has issues keeping up to date. You a very busy person who probably works a little too hard, and needs to relax more. And although I cannot truly see your face, I am willing to bet you are a very beautiful person."

You approach a game store that sells firearms, There's a burly Bugbear running the counter. "Greetings Mr. Sir, what can I do for ye?"

You approach a game store that sells firearms, There's a burly Bugbear running the counter. "Greetings Mr. Sir, what can I do for ye?"

Toryk slaps down the quest on the counter to show the picture of the dinosaur. "Aye, I do be going big game hunting. And I be needing a tranquilizer big enough to take down one of these. Big thing, amphibious predator. I be needing tranquilizer and a gun big enough to put it through its hide and knock him cold quick and keep him out cold."

 

[Equusheart]

Brea was silent for a long moment, not really knowing what to say. She stared down at the wood grain of the table, her gaze distant. Taking a moment to blink away the tears in her eyes and soothe the ache in her chest, she look back up at her Lord.

"How will you... be my Lantern then? What must I do?"

Big thing, amphibious predator. I be needing tranquilizer and a gun big enough to put it through its hide and knock him cold quick and keep him out cold."

The Bugbear pulls out a rifle with a long barrel, as well as a box loaded with specialized darts. "Be This is the finest hunting Rifle I got, and these darts are potent enough to put down an elephant for a week... I can sell them all to ya fer' 3,550g." The bugbear smiled, almost as if enthused about your prey.

"How will you... be my Lantern then? What must I do?"

"That is primarily up to you, your path is your own to tread... I am merely here to tell you the best route to your destination." He smiled, leaning back in his throne to stretch.

 

[Ian Temero]

Startled a bit by the sudden rudeness Hopsek tilted his head at the finger gesture. He looked down at his hand and mimicked the motion, though with more vigor than the cat girl had done it. It made his fingers warm but... he didn’t understand what it meant. As he looked at his own fingers trying to decipher the riddle he said “Hopsek not need tour guide, only directions. Cat lady more interested in Hopsek than rest of people so Hopsek asks her.”

Warm fingers? Was she cold? Did she want warm fingers? Fire? Fire!

”Cat lady has cold fingers? Will tell Hopsek where death is if he gives her fire to warm her fingers??”

He would begin making the somatic gestures and speaking the words of the “create bonfire” cantrip...

Really? Her studying the creature attracted it to her? Talk about curiosity killing the cat. Páh sighed as she finished collecting her dishes. "Just because someone stares at you does not mean they want to talk to you. Now buzz o-"

And then the goblin, Hopsek she gathered at this point, said something about making her fingers warm. "What the hell are you-?" And then she realized. The goblin was casting a spell. One that probably involved fire. "What the fuck?!" She shouted, her dishes clattering on the floor as she lashed out, grabbing Hopsek's hands to stop him. Then she turned towards the goddess at the far end of the room. "Hey! Anytime you wanna stop enjoying the show and take the little gremlin off my hands would be great!"

Lokckar raises a hand, and almost in an instant the fire does down to nothing. "Páh, this is Hospek, he is as you have guess my newest apprentice... can if trust you to look after him?" she inquired.

 

[D. Rex]

The Bugbear pulls out a rifle with a long barrel, as well as a box loaded with specialized darts. "Be This is the finest hunting Rifle I got, and these darts are potent enough to put down an elephant for a week... I can sell them all to ya fer' 3,550g." The bugbear smiled, almost as if enthused about your prey.

Toryk respectfully opened the box, counting the darts before moving to inspecting the rifle more thoroughly. "A steep price for a lovely specimen." The gnoll heated it to his shoulder, testing out how it felt, before chicking the barrel and mechanisms. He was pleased about what he saw. "A steep enough price that I do be expecting it to exactly what I be wanting. Do it only fire these darts?" He asked. Definitely interested in purchasing this rifle.

Toryk sat the rifle down and pulled out his pouch of coins. "I be looking to do plenty of future business with whichever vendor be taking the best care of me. I do be looking for those with who i can make investments. Should this hunt go well... as the newest gunslinger in town, I do be needing things. Many many things. Do you think yourself or anyone of your peers would be up to such a job?"

 

[DuckPrince]

Nodding to his words, he got up while fixing his hair that Toryk decided to ruffle. "I'm going to look at what blades and armor are on the market, even if I can't buy any." He chimed, patting Brea's shoulder before leaving. He wandered around, stopping at a blacksmith to see what they offered.
TyranntX (Just having a look around to see if there's anything special in terms of finesse weapons like rapiers or daggers and light armor that are better than the normal mortal ones Kalvin currently has)

 

[Equusheart]

Brea nods. "Then how would you suggest I begin?"

 

[Ian Temero]

Lokckar raises a hand, and almost in an instant the fire does down to nothing. "Páh, this is Hospek, he is as you have guess my newest apprentice... can if trust you to look after him?" she inquired.

"Hell no!" Páh answered without missing a beat. "Unless you're making it worth my time, I've more important things to do than babysit!"

"I don't think my self as the best arms dealer around. The Hemoth clan and Saurians make far better craft than I, but do see my self as the more afford'eble option should you need a cheaper gun. So feel free to invest in me shop, I could use the funds to help bolder stock." The bugbear tiled his head.

You arrive at a shop next door to Graftier's palace. There is a Full Blooded orc running the shop, he looks to you as you enter. "Welcome to my wares, what are you looking for?"

Brea nods. "Then how would you suggest I begin?"

Xai takes a moment to ponder, "From what I've seen so far you prefer to use your power to attack, like Troyk. But unlike him your powers are far more shapeable, If you wish to use it as a weapon you can... But should you decide to go in a different direction it will be easier for you than it would be for him. My advice, think about what it is you wish to do with your powers, then adjust your usage accordingly."

 

[D. Rex]

TyranntX
And does the rifle fire things other than darts or exclusively darts?

 

[TyranntX]

"Hell no!" Páh answered without missing a beat. "Unless you're making it worth my time, I've more important things to do than babysit!"

Lady Death, "I can assure you it will be... His entire group was sought after by the destroyer, if he saw something in Hospek he wanted then he must have a great deal of potential... You will look after him." she demanded, and she sat back down.

TyranntX

It could fire bullets, though he doesn't have any in stock at the moment.

 

[Equusheart]

Brea thought on what he said. "How would I know what to do with my powers? I've never used magic or anything like that before so...." She gave a shrug. "I'm still not really sure what my powers are then some sort of destructo orb." At least that was what she saw in the trials.

 

[DuckPrince]

You arrive at a shop next door to Graftier's palace. There is a Full Blooded orc running the shop, he looks to you as you enter. "Welcome to my wares, what are you looking for?"

"Hello. I'm interested in any weapons or armor as good or better than what I currently have on me. I'm currently just looking though, if that isn't too much of a bother." He said, patting the leather armor he wore and presenting the plain dagger and rapier he had strapped to his person. "If I see anything that strikes my fancy, I'll be certain to return after the suchomimus hunt I'll be undergoing." He said.

Toryk nods, "And the be no shame in that. I for one will be needing an affordable place. There be more to guns than just bold pieces. Materials, tools, parts and the like. And that you be good at finding the affordable goods to keep affordable prices, I do know where I will come for materials." He said, already planning on getting more active in gunsmithing.

Taking out Desert Eagle, he pulls back the slide to eject a single round. He places it on the counter. "I'll be needing many o' these. Ways to make em. Think that you would be able to place some orders?" He asked.


Finally he pushed the bag of coin towards the bugbear. "Four thousand, even. And you can even keep the rest. But I could use a few extra things from ye. A strap for ye rifle. A good holster for Desert Eagle, here. What else do you be gotting?"

 

[Chuckles]

Hopsek, realizing that Death had literally just been sitting in the room the whole time, and wondering why the cat lady didn’t just say that, promptly ignored the person who was now supposed to be looked after him and made his way quite happily over to the Lady.

Not sure how he was supposed to present himself to a god, he went to bend a knee, stopped, stood back up for a moment, thought better of it, and ended up on his knee.

”Hopsek is here lady.” Not sure what else to ask or do, he didn’t ask or do anything else.

 

[Ian Temero]

Lady Death, "I can assure you it will be... His entire group was sought after by the destroyer, if he saw something in Hospek he wanted then he must have a great deal of potential... You will look after him." she demanded, and she sat back down.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Páh protested in vain. When death had the final word, it was just that: Final, much to the nekomini's annoyance. In the end she was the tour guide it seemed.

"Fuck my life..."

 

[TyranntX]

Brea thought on what he said. "How would I know what to do with my powers? I've never used magic or anything like that before so...." She gave a shrug. "I'm still not really sure what my powers are then some sort of destructo orb." At least that was what she saw in the trials.

"Your powers can manifest into what you desire them to be, so long as it is within the domain of darkness... Try and make something and see for yourself." The Destroyer noded.

"Hello. I'm interested in any weapons or armor as good or better than what I currently have on me. I'm currently just looking though, if that isn't too much of a bother." He said, patting the leather armor he wore and presenting the plain dagger and rapier he had strapped to his person. "If I see anything that strikes my fancy, I'll be certain to return after the suchomimus hunt I'll be undergoing." He said.

"Suchomimus? You mean that job the Hemoth clan set up in the Swamp Sector? I may have something that could help if you have the coin..." The Orc Grunted, as he pulled off a Spear-like weapon from the wall and placed it on the counter.

Toryk nods, "And the be no shame in that. I for one will be needing an affordable place. There be more to guns than just bold pieces. Materials, tools, parts and the like.

The Bugbear takes the money, and agrees to make more rounds for the DEagle. "Hmmm I do have some other guns here, though there's not enough here to purchase them. I can give you a strap for Your rifle though" He says and pulls out a specialized sling that seems it would for the rifle.

 

[DuckPrince]

"Suchomimus? You mean that job the Hemoth clan set up in the Sawm Sector? I may have something that could help if you have the coin..." The Orc Grunted, as he pulled off a Spear-like weapon from the wall and placed it on the counter.

He hummed lightly. "How much would you want for it? I don't have much right now." He asked, asking if he could hold it. If he could, he'd test the weight and how difficult it would be to use it. "They do offer extra if we can bring it back alive. For whatever reason that they need it." He mused.

"I no be needing other guns, me friend, I be talking about accessories. Like the strap. How about a holster for shiny?" He asked, tapping Desert Eagle. "Also. Could use a cleaning kit and some oil. Will 3,700 cover all that?"

 

[TyranntX]

He hummed lightly. "How much would you want for it? I don't have much right now." He asked, asking if he could hold it. If he could, he'd test the weight and how difficult it would be to use it. "They do offer extra if we can bring it back alive. For whatever reason that they need it." He mused.

"I can give it to you, for 375gp" The Orc stated... "The Hemoth clan tries to avoid killing dinosaurs, they prefer taming them instead."

"I no be needing other guns, me friend, I be talking about accessories. Like the strap. How about a holster for shiny?" He asked, tapping Desert Eagle. "Also. Could use a cleaning kit and some oil. Will 3,700 cover all that?"

The bugbear nods, and places the holder for the Deagle and the rifle on the counter, as well as a cleaning kit with oil.

 

[DuckPrince]

"I can give it to you, for 375gp" The Orc stated... "The Hemoth clan tries to avoid killing dinosaurs, they prefer taming them instead."

"Is there any way we could round that to 350?" He offered. "Next time I come by I can give some extra for any equipment I buy.."
