Spoiler :

Bob Smith journed for three weeks across a sea. After he nearly give up hope for searching for a new land, a shadow is spotted on the horizon.

Bob was part of the party that went to explore this new world. But, if the fishermen on the beach had anything to give away, this place was inhabited already, albeit by people less advanced than you. They seem friendly enough.

Seon:

Spoiler :

It passes midnight and nothing has happened. Atakas was about to end his vigil when the first sounds of a stirring earth reached his ears.

He hurried to the grave. The zombie, unaffected by the limitations of the living, had punched through his coffin and the several feet of earth he was buried in. A lone hand was scrambling, trying to find something to catch hold of. Atakas watched with curiosity.

Nobody was controlling it. There would be something. Not exactly sensed in the usual way. There would be a faint aura around it. But this thing had no aura. It was like it merely refused to be dead.

It had finally pulled itself out of its grave. It was looking around and sniffing. Atakas then noticed every other recently buried body had risen. Atakas also realised that if he didn't stop these puppets without a string, he would be facing a lot of angry townsfolk in the morning...

 

[Milarqui]

What about the rewards for my great job at managing to finish my quest?

 

[Seon]

Interesting, no aura? Akatas thought. I am totally gonna save one of them.

Akatas counted them. Seventeen.

He pointed his hand at one of the shambling undead, and directed his aura onto the skeletal structure of it. The zombie fell and convulsed as his body and skeleton began to act differently. "And stay down," Akatas mumbled.

Another shambling dead attacked him. Akatas took a jump back and tossed a small fireball into the midst of about 3 of them. Akatas looked with satisfaction as the zombies started to burn. "Ain't gonna be open casket for all of ya wankers. Let's rock," Akatas said as he hurled another fireball into the zombies. Behind him, the village was slowly starting to rise from the sounds of explosions.

A cold hand grasped at Akatas's back, and the fangs nearly reached Akatas's neck when it suddenly stopped, and fell. Akatas immediately kicked the body away, and the skeleton erupted out of the body. That was too close, Akatas thought.

The skeleton rushed forward and knocked down other zombies now approaching. The skeleton and a zombie got into a death struggle as the zombie slowly crushed the skeleton's bones and skeleton slowly toar the zombie open. In the end, both lay still as magic and whatever it was raising the zombie was too strained to keep them alive longer. Akatas pointed his hands towards the last 2 remaining zombies. They began convulsing as well and fell to the ground.

"They'll make a good speciman," Akatas mumbled happily. He turned around to see the villagers gathered around him. Staring at him with a gape. Akatas took a glance towards the 3 convulsing zombies, and sighed. "Anyone got a strong rope?"

You gain the favour of Chaus. They allow you to walk in the Magister's Sanctum, a huge library where you can learn spells.

Also, do you want yourself or I to edit and post the entire story? It would be a shame just for me to have read it.

Seon:

The towns-folk were glad for Atakas' assitance. They praised him with free drinks. But it was little child who jerked him backed to reality.

"What now Meester Hero?"

Yes, what now? He had stopped...whatever this was, in this town, but he would have to find the source.

Areas of Interest (Ripe for exploration)

Abandoned Rohond village



=> Frank Tolkien will attempt to search this village

 

[Haseri]

For The Loser:

Spoiler :

Gyszel' was an old cattle farming village. When every single cow in the area fell ill to a mysterious illness, the entire village was abandoned.

Now the buidings are empty shells. Presumably everything of interest was taken by those moving to richer areas. Wind whistles through empty towers.

The streets are cracked with weeds poking through. The statue in the square has vines climbing up it, strangling the stone.

It takes a few hours to gather everything of any value from the houses.

Tolkien found:
One pair of trousers
One tiny book of witchcraft
Four small platinum-tipped ironwood longspears
One small grimoire
Twelve very large gilt anklets
Nine candles
Three tiny steel bucklers
One huge statuette
Sixteen very small gilt necklaces with carnelion pendants
Seven huge dark green shells.

These could all be sold to other villages for some profit.

But one thing catches your eye. A dagger. It was locked in a box in what was hidden in what was once the mayor's house. Looking at it, is covered in gold wash. The grip is white leather. Frank knew that he really should get it Appraised. There was bound to be one in any average-sized town.

Spoiler Week 1: Investigating the Minotaurs :

After some time researching at the libraries in Pyttleit for information about Minotaurs and their culture, I found nothing that I didn't know already, but the librarian pointed out the fact that, probably, someone at Chaus might have what I was looking for.

I soon travelled to Evalenen, Chaus' capital, and went to the biggest library in the city. The librarian there told me that they didn't have any book about Minotaurs that didn't have what was considered to be common knowledge, but the local dwarves were rumoured to have several books about hard-to-get information from things in the region, and that perhaps they would be willing to share the information with me. He then pointed me out where the dwarves lived. Thanking him, I left, and went to see the dwarves.

After some negotiation, one of them revealed that they had one book that talked extensively about Minotaurs, which was one of a kind, and that they treasured it very much, but that they would be willing to let me borrow it.

Once I heard that, I asked them if I could actually borrow the book. The dwarf that had told me about it disappeared and came back with a small leather book that did indeed look very old. After a few words ("Remember to return it in the same state it came!" the dwarf told me), I left and hurried back to my rooms in the town. I couldn't wait to start reading the book. I didn't know what kind of information it had, but it sure had to be important if the dwarves treasured this book so much.

This book is a gold mine! I tell myself as I pick some parchment and a quill out of my backpack and take notes. It was very informative, and it held not only the most useful phrases of the Speech of Minos, but it also had some things about their customs and taboos, as written by the only dwarf to ever have lived with the Minotaurs, which would probably help me a lot. Once I had everything I needed from the book, I went to the dwarves, gave them the book back and thanked them profusely for giving it to me, as it would be instrumental in my task.

With that done, I took my horse and came out of the city, ready to find the Minotaurs. And I had to make them get out of the land. It was going to be a hard task.

Spoiler Week 2: Riding towards Diast :

It took me but a few hours to reach the town of Diast, where the first Minotaurs had been reported to attack. I immediately could see what had happened there. There were still several splots of blood even several days after the attack. The first thing I did was to find the leader/mayor of the town. I figured that he would be my contact in this town.

"Aha, you are the big hero the council promised to send? A few days late, aren't we? Ah, it's not your fault. They were unexpected. Now, all of us who live in the evening shadow of the mountains are living in fear of the bull-men. Only one village has not been attacked: the village of Stail, a day's ride south of here. It is probably the furthest this side of the mountains the minotaurs will go."

"So, you believe that Stail will be attacked soon?" I asked him. Being that the place had yet to be attacked, it was a pretty forward conclusion that some of the Minotaurs would go to the only place that had been left intact.

"Yes. We're the town closest to the mountains. Sometimes, in winter, you barely see the sun if you don't get up early enough, the sun goes behind the mountains real quick. Anyway, looking at some reports, it looks like they won't go beyond a certain point. Like they're too scared to be so far away from their homes. And Stail is the largest settlement within the limit that hasn't been attacked yet."

"Then, I'll go to Stail. They must have already noticed that they would be the next most likely objective, and I believe that they'll be grateful for an extra hand. Whom should I try to talk with once I reach there?"

"I would guess whoever is in charge. I would say the mayor, but Stail is one of those places where mayors and goveners hold no real power over the people. No, it's probably some farmer. He'll have rallied everyone together."

"Thank you, sir," I said, stretching his hand. "I'll make sure that those Minotaurs leave you and your people alone, one way or the other."

"Thank you, as well," he replied with a smile. "If you do this, I'll make sure that you get a good reward."

"I'm not doing this for the reward, I'm doing it because you needed help, and I decided to help you."

The mayor nodded, understanding, as I rode once more my faithful horse and rode it towards the south, ready to face the Minotaurs.

Stail was one of those places that just seem to appear out of nowhere, and tend to get overlooked. Until someone plans to demolish the village to make way for a motorway. It was small, with barely one hundred people. I was probably the first 'stranger' anyone there had ever seen. A "Can you point me to your leader" came with the response of a finger pointing at the public house. I thanked him and went there.

Inside was indeed a farmer with people sitting around him, listening to his worldly wisdom.

I felt a bit bad about having to interrupt these people, but I actually had to speak about the current danger that was the threat of an attack from the Minotaurs.

"Excuse me," I said, and instantly everyone in the room looked at me. "I was looking for the leader of this town. I wish to speak with him about a very important matter that can not wait."

One of the farmers looked round and said "Well, you'll be wanting ol' Thom then. More respected than that vassal the Council send ev'ry couple-a months. Ain't that right Thom?"

The elderly farmer smiled toothlessly. "That'd be me you're looking for, son. What can I do for ya?"

I instantly started to like Thom as soon as I saw him. It was pretty much clear that he was a simple (not stupid) man that liked his life a lot, and liked to share it with those that wanted to hear him. That's why I dreaded all the more the fact that I was bringing him such bad news.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Thom. My name is Hardin. I do not like the position I find myself in, but I fear that I am bringing bad news to you."

Thom's smile dropped a bit as he heard about my having bad news. Anything that was bad news would probably affect the small town.

"In the last weeks, there have been a series of attacks in the nearby towns by Minotaurs. No one knows why are they doing it, or what are they gaining from these attacks. However, it has been established that most attacks have had taken place, at most, at a set distance from the mountain range at the north from here, and, unfortunately, this town is within the range. I fear that it'll be attacked soon by them. I'm here to offer you a hand in stopping said attack."

"Aye, I've heard of these walking bulls. Folks come running here from all over these past few days. Whipped up a right frenzy, 'till I calmed ev'ryone down. Well, if you're here to help, me and the village would be glad f'r it." He smiled toothlessly again. "At t'moment our standing army is lying down, onna count of 'em bein' out all night huntin'." Yes, the only protectors of this place were the ones that could handle a bow competantly.

"That is good, Thom. It is a pity that the army is lying down, but I guess that they have had done a lot of work this last night.

"If I were to suggest you something, I think that the best strategy to deal with this would be to have those that are able to handle a bow competently go to the roofs of the tallest buildings in here, so that they may watch out. I figure that, if they see the Minotaurs, I may find that one of them knows our language and then convince him to stop the Minotaurs from attacking. If I can't, then the archers would be able to kill or debilitate the Minotaurs before they reach the town. I fear that the army will soon have to wake up from their sleep, I wouldn't be able to hold off more than one or two Minotaurs at the same time."

"Sounds like a good as an idea as any. I'll go get someone to wake them up."

"Thank you very much, Thom. I truly hope that everyone in the town will be able to get through this."

Thom offered me his wrinkled hand and I shook it, grateful for the vote of confidence him - and the rest of the town - were willing to give me. I wished I could live up to make that confidence worth.

I then came out of the small building and took the northern street, the one that looked towards the mountains. I supposed that the Minotaurs would come from there, but there was always the chance that they might try to attack from other direction, which was why I was glad my horse was there with me. It would probably be my best companion during my adventure through these lands.

The winter night came quickly. The wind was coming off the sea in the east. The smell would be masked. It was said the Minotaur horde moved without torchlight. If they attacked tonight, then they would only be heard.

As night fell, it was pretty obvious that the Archers wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of seeing anyone, which was why I asked some people to help me place some torches around the town, and then I put a spell on them so that they were only fed by the air, and thus didn't need the wood from the torches to burn. Quite a great spell, if I had to say so.

I also used my Geurgy abilities to create several holes on the ground, but that wouldn't look like holes until someone stepped on them. The townspeople wouldn't step out, and I knew where they were with my powers. I hoped that, if the Minotaurs fell on them, they didn't take it too bad when I tried to speak with them.

I then sat down at the outskirts of the town and waited.

Spoiler Facing the Minotaurs: The Trial of Daedalus :

The horde was indeed heard before seen. It could have been mistaken for a group of running stallions, but there was the unmistakeable grunting of Minotaurs.

As soon as I heard the Minotaurs run towards us, I shouted to the archers to ready themselves, and then I stood up. Remembering one of the phrases the dwarf Eirik Fjordsen had written in his journal of his travel to the Minotaur's homeland, I shouted in the Speech of Minos: "Peace upon you and upon yours!" This was the usual salutation of those Minotaurs that wished to talk.

Immediately, the Minotaurs stopped their grunting, as they apparently had been surprised by the fact that someone had talked in their own language, and one of them soon stepped forward, illuminated by the torches we (the townspeople and I) had just lit a few hours before, and he spoke.

"You know the Speech of Minos?" he asked in his impressive deep voice in my language.

"I fear that I do not know much about the Speech of Minos, o exalted Tesean," Tesean was, according to Fjordsen, the name of the leader of a pack of Minotaurs, "but I do know that it is an ancient and powerful language, which you and your kind have spoken for centuries ever since you were born."

The Minotaur seemed pleased by this.

"My name is Hardin, and I would like to ask you, why have you been attacking these lands, when these people have done nothing to you?" I asked him. The Tesean snorted.

"Greetings, Hardin. The reason why we are attacking these people is because one of them stole a very sacred artefact from us!"

Damn, I thought. Fjordsen's journal stated that Minotaurs were highly appreciative of their sacred objects, and that tribal wars had happened between them just because one Minotaur had spoken badly about other tribe's sacred object. If someone had actually stolen it, it was understandable that they were so angry.

"But, these people are hardly away from their town, and none of them would be foolish enough to not only enter your lands, but to steal something as precious and important to you as a sacred artefact."

"One of their kind did it!" The Tesean exclaimed, furious. "Now, our homes are in danger unless we stay there, and we can only come out for a few hours a day! And we won't stop doing this until we recover our artefact!"

Huh, I guess that explains why their attacks had a limit in distance from the mountains. This was going to get bloody, I knew it, if the idiot that had stolen the object didn't return it soon. However, there was a custom of the Minotaurs that could give me the chance to both save these people and calm the Minotaurs down for some time.

"I call for the Trial of Daedalus," I said, my voice firm and confident, even though I knew this was very risky to do. At least, if I died, I would be able to do it remembering the Tesean's face when I mentioned the ceremonial duel that was used in these kind of situations.

"Do you know the dangers of doing so?" he asked.

"Of course I do."

"Very well, then. Let the Trial of Daedalus start," the Minotaur said, and suddenly a ball of light exploded from the Tesean's amulet and everything went white. I lost my consciousness.

Once I woke up, I found myself in front of a 10-metre tall stone wall. Fortunately, I had on me what I normally wore, as well as my backpack (with all my things), my charmed dagger and my quarterstaff. I was fully equipped for the Trial, which would probably be one of the hardest things to do.

"Which are your conditions, Mage Hardin?" a voice thundered from the skies.

"Enigmas and creatures," I said. "I won't need anything else save what I have on me at this moment."

"Which do you wish to be your reward?"

This one was a tricky question, one that fortunately I had prepared the answer for. "That the Minotaurs abstain from attacking the towns that are near their homelands during two whole moons from the moment I come back from this trial, and that I be given the task of finding and retrieving the sacred object that was stolen."

A rumble could be heard from behind the stone wall, and an entrance appeared, big enough to suit two Minotaurs side to side. I stepped inside, cautiously, and as soon as I did that the entrance was closed behind me.

The Trial of Daedalus was probably one of the most important rituals the Minotaurs had. It was normally used to settle down important matters or sometimes it was called by two Minotaurs so that they could face their wits and combat without having to kill each other. In this case, if one of them surrendered, he would come alive from wherever the Trial took place. However, if it was only one Minotaur facing it, there were only two possible results: victory or death.

The Trial on itself consisted on going through a labyrinth, which never had the same outline, as it was generated randomly every time it was called for. Upon facing it, you could call for creatures to wander through the place, for enigmas that would appear at certain points and for traps to be ready to strike you as soon as you passed over them.

The creatures could kill you, but they would leave things that could aid you in your quest and that you could bring back once the quest ended. The enigmas would point out the shortest direction if you were right, but failing meant that the shortest way would be closed to you. The traps could harm or kill you, but if you managed to de-activate them, you could take the things the trap was made of and create some extra weaponry that you would also be able to bring back. The creatures' power, the enigmas' difficulty and the traps' sneakiness were bigger the more things you asked for as a reward and the further you went into the labyrinth.

I had decided to go for creatures and enigmas because I didn't feel sure that I would be able to find the traps, but I would be able to fight the creatures and solve the enigmas with not too much thinking.

As soon as I gave a few steps, a giant rat with a knife appeared and jumped at me. A good hit with the staff sent it flying a few metres away, and it was soon trapped and defeated as I used my Geurgy powers to crush it. It then vanished and left the knife and some herbs around as a reward - how the heck did a rat have herbs on itself? - and so I continued on my way.

It took me some time till I found the first enigma, a pretty short one, placed in a crossroads with 3 different possible ways.

The more you take, the more you leave behind. What are they?

It was simple, yet wonderful and complicated. I started to ponder on it. I certainly didn't want to be bested on the first enigma, especially when I had chosen to take this route. Looking around me, I saw drawings of people walking, and then I looked at the floor and noticed my own footprints, still marked on the sand that made up the floor. Then, I realised what the answer was.

"Footsteps," I said. One of the paths - the one to my right - was illuminated with a green light, and the others had a blue light on them. I deduced that the green light marked the best way in, and thus I took it.

For hours, I wandered the labyrinth, beating creatures up and solving enigmas. Several times I got hurt, and I failed a couple of riddles, but I could feel that I was reaching the end of it, because the buggers I was facing were getting bigger and more aggresive as I went forward, and the enigmas were straining my mind too much.

Then, I turned right and I found a creature, but this one was different than all others. It was a Sphinx, famous for their intelligence and their penchant to show it through posing riddles to passers-by, and then eating them if they didn't answer correctly.

"Greetings, young Mage," the Sphinx said. "If you wish to find the end of this labyrinth, the shortest way is this one."

"Greetings, Ma'am," I replied - Sphinxes were always female, for some reason - and asked if she would let me pass.

"No. Not unless you answer this riddle. If you answer correctly, I'll let you pass. If you fail, I'll attack you. If you don't answer, I'll let you leave without harming you."

I sighed. It was pretty obvious that she was really set into this. At least she was giving me a chance to leave if I couldn't answer.

"Very well. Could I hear the riddle, please?"

She smiled, and recited:
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

That was a good one. I felt as if my eyebrows would never go down from the surprise.

I started to think over it, going through many things that would or could be able to do all of that. The first that came through my mind was a dragon, but I soon realised that not even a dragon could destroy a whole mountain. Water? No, the devouring thing was not exactly something that water did. After a few minutes, I started to wonder how much time had passed since I started this quest, and just then I saw the answer.

"Time," I said. The Sphinx smiled and stepped aside.

Thanking her, I went forward and soon I reached a room without exits. The hole behind me closed itself and then a soft white light appeared.

"Young Mage Hardin, you are the first non-Minotaur to pass this Trial," a sweet voice said. "This makes you a special person, and the fact that the only reward you sought was saving other people and giving you the chance to help the Minotaurs, makes you even more special. Why is it that you asked for that?"

Slowly, I told her of the fact that I thought that, since I had magical powers, then I had to use it to help others, and not for my own benefit, as that would not bring me happiness. The light seemed to be pleased with my answer, for it then spoke again.

"You are worthy of the reward you asked for, young Mage. And your humility makes you worthy of the reward I will bestow upon you. No, it isn't treasures," she said, as I was about to say that I needn't any treasures, "although I suppose that knowledge could be construed to be a treasure, if seen from a certain angle. Now, please, accept this reward, and may your search for the Cup of Minos be successful." The light then compressed itself, until it was only a small ball, and then shot at me, hitting me and knocking me out again.

Soon, I woke up, and I realised that time had not passed in the outskirts of Stail. It was still dark, the torches were still alight, and the Minotaurs were still there. The one in front of me was very much surprised at my reappearance.

"You... you did pass it?" the Minotaur said.

"I did," I answered. "Whomever it was that talked to me when I found the ball of light, seemed pleased that I had done so."

The Minotaur was, once more, surprised. "I thought that you had just told me that you do not know the Speech of Minos well, but yet you now are able to talk it like any of us can. Please, explain that."

This time, I was the surprised one. I then realised that I had actually been talking like the Minotaurs do, with their bellows and such.

"It seems that I was rewarded with the knowledge of your ancient language, exalted Tesean."

"Was that what you asked for as a reward?"

"No. I only asked that you retired for your mountains for two moons and that I were given the chance to search the Cup of Minos."

Whoops, my mind said as it caught up with my mouth. I shouldn't have told him that I knew what had been stolen from them. However, the Minotaurs took this as a good sign, fortunately.

"We do hope that you'll be back in two moons, as you said. Once you are back with the Cup of Minos, we will return and help with the reconstruction of the lands we attacked before, but if you aren't back in two moons, we will continue with our search."

"I'll be back here in two moons," I promised, bowing. The Minotaur bowed as well and then shouted at his brethren that they were to go back to their homes. Stail had been saved, for the moment, but now I knew that the adventure had done nothing but to start.

What do I get from the creatures in the labyrinth?

Only that? I'd think that, with all the buggers I've met in the labyrinth, I would have gotten more things. And for Appraising, you mean to do like in Diablo 2, where you needed either people or those special objects to discover what magical weapons and armour were?

I was thinking to compensate for that I couldn't learn any more, but if you insist I'll drop Thaumurgy

All right, a sword (flaming if allowed...)

And have clothes.

Oh, I was just meaning the protection from being injured came from tough skin. I was going to wear clothes!

Also, this isn't a conventional NES. This plays out more like a conventional forum RP. I'm glad you chose my NES to start your time here, but don't expect them all to be like this.

Should be fine, apart form the flaming sword, just repost the stats so I can just copy/paste into my notes.

What, you want more magic items? This isn't WoW. You get one for completing the quest. I'm trying to be at least a little bit restricitve.

And with Appraisng, yes you need to go to someone to get your new item looked at. Though I used common sence (unless you've done specific research, you aren't going to know what an item does) as I have never played Diablo 2.

Kragenskull was not too happy with his first mission, but it was the only one he could find, and he needed some more abilities. So, he looked for information on dragon's weaknesses in Thild's library (the only one in Brigan).

'Dragons, certainly sir. Over there' said the terrified assistant, running in the opposite direction as fast as he could. Kragenskull investigated. An hour of perusing scrolls revealed that dragons had two weaknesses. Memorising the scroll, he then incinerated it with a small fireball,to prevent others from discovering the information.

The jouney towards the dragon's cave passed ithout incident, but when he reached it the dragon was just flying in to the cave. Kagenskull stood perfectly still, but would it stop the dragon from noticing him? He formed his plans quickly. If the dragon noticed him he would strike a fireball at the second weakness mentioned in the scroll (aka pm ). If not he would see if he could take the dragon by surprise
