Rp - Gavel's Darkest Hour- Act Two Begins [7/7]

are there potions that i can grab?

 

You're basically in the forest right now - Suinos sticks straight up out of the treetops. It basically only exists to be the capital of the Coalition and everyone there either is or works for a Delegate. The trees are relatively sparse in this part of the Forest and you can easily see above the treeline.

________________________________

Yes. They're too cold for you to safely drink though. (Doguns typically add fire scarab venom to potions to make them retain heat)

 

Do I see any fruits I can grab?

 

how many guards are there?

 

You an apple tree, a raspberry bush and a type of magical lemon tree whose pink fruit are said to be an aphrodisiac and a mild hallucinogen.

Are you asking Bantira there?
You can see a guard on each of the four towers, each with a crossbow and two pike-wielding guards at the door. There may be more you can't see.

 

That description of one certain thing tho.
Hmmmm.
I turn to go grab apples (8), and raspberries (Alot). Stay away from the pink fruit for now.

 

We'll have to deal with the guards at the gate to get through, but we also have to be careful of the ones in the towers...not to mention there may be more inside...
"Hey Bantira, can you tell how many guards in the prison in total and their locations?"

 

You wander over to the apple tree and raspberry bush in turn, picking the ripest and most pristine of each.

"There are four on the towers, two outside, twenty asleep in the bunks around the ground floor and three patrolling the basement - that's where we need to go. The guards on the towers have rope pulls for the alarm bells, so they mustn't see or hear us. That's what we're up against. Any ideas?"

 

well shit
not really actually
"Aside from your clairvoyance, what other kinds of magic can you use?"

 

All into the ring.
Except for two apples. I'll munch one and offer the other to Hels when I get closer.
(do things rot in the ring btw? >.>)

 

"That's it. When would I have learned anything else?" There seems to be a slight panic in her voice.

After a careful consideration of the mechanics of what's basically a modified ender chest, I've decided on 'no'.

With a burst of mana, you access the mysterious space off the inside of the ring and carefully put the fruit inside, taking care not to bruise them. An apple in each hand, you take a bite out of one of them. This type of apple is hard and not very sweet - more suitable for cooking with, but it's certainly not bad.

 

Ok, so Bantira wont be much use for fighting, meaning i'll have to take down all the guards myself...I wont be able to use meteor or else we'll be found and I can't reach the guards in the tower meaning I'll have to take down the two at the gate without being seen....alright...
I knock a potion over

 

But nothing to cook it with. ;-;

 

Wood for fire is everywhere, even though I wouldn't recommend making a fireplace in the middle of a forest.

 

You lean round and knock over a relatively large bottle of an electric blue potion. There's a loud crash and it shatters on the rocky floor. The potion starts sizzling loudly and evaporating, and you see the nearest two crossbow guards aim at the stand just as you duck back behind cover. "How does that help?", Bantira whispers.

Especially as, as you've seen, not all of the wildlife is friendly.

 

Here. Have a toasted apple. .-.
I meant- what else do i cook it with?

 

"ahhh i hoped one of the door guards would come over..."

 

"They're under orders to stay at their post unless there's a confirmed threat. Oh great. Now they're paying attention."

 

"sorry, i didnt know that...hey do the guards have knives on their belts? i cant really see from here"

 

"Uh, yes they do. Why do you ask?"
