Voodoo Master -> InspecZion (3/26/2014 14:21:16)
[image]https://media.artix.com/encyc/df/banners/SulenEska.png[/image] InspecZion Location: Sulen'Eska -> Up -> Up Vortex -> Mritha -> Espina Rosa -> InspecZion -> Quest! Requirements: Completion of Mission Possible Release Date: March 22nd, 2014 Objective: Make your way to Espina Rosa but don't get caught! Objective completed: That was a close call with Zadd, but you made it. Experience rewarded: Scaled Gold rewarded: Scaled Monsters (5) Bandit (3) Forest Fury (1) Gorillaphant (3) Tog (3) Tuskmonger NPCs Gemini Kara SuLema Private Bradley Sofist Stan the ScanOrb Svera Tower Guard Tower Officer Z Rewards Rose Private Ring Rose Corporal Ring Rose Sergeant Ring Sergeant Major Maaike's Ring Energizer's Azure Band Rose Brigadier Band Rose Magus Focus Rose General's Ring Dialogue Equips Edd Disguise (Complex Skills). Two days later <Character>: Looks like Zorbak had more of an effect on the Face Nommer than we thought... Kara SuLema: Hmm.... The hero now looks like Edd, the Rose soldier. He's too pale, though... Kara SuLema: As I thought. <Character>: What is it? Kara SuLema: I believe, <Character>, that you are good to go. Althouh the mask's skin texture is a bit pale, its every feature looks like a perfect mimic of Edd's. <Character>: Are you sure? Kara SuLema: Positive. It will work. Kara SuLema: We don't have time to find another Face Nommer and make another face either way. We have to take the chance. Kara SuLema: Are you ready for your final briefing? <Character>: I am. Kara SuLema: Follow me then. A few minutes later, Kara and the hero inspect the maps of the Espina Rosa together. Kara SuLema: Since the portal to Espina Rosa is near the Rose's Headquarters, you will first need to journey to Swordhaven. Kara SuLema: Journey alone; we cannot risk you being seen with anyone else. Kara SuLema (thinking): Their laughter will give you away. Kara SuLema: It will be easier for you to move around than I when I journeyed alone. Kara SuLema: In Swordhaven, your task is simple: Find the portal area and pass inspection. Kara SuLema: Getting into Espina Rosa will be simpler after that. Just go through the portal to the island and the guards should open the doors for you there. Kara SuLema: Once inside Espina Rosa, move quickly. Svera? Svera hands you a few scrolls. Svera: There are three distinguishable "levels" in Espina Rosa. The first is the ground floor at which you will be arriving. Svera: Our information tells us that this floor is used as the barracks for the garrisoned soldiers as well as a jail complex... Svera: ... unlike the other floors which are solely jail complexes. Svera: Below this floor is the Second Level of Espina Rosa. Kara SuLema: And below the latter is the Third Level. This last level is where our friend remains and where you need to go. <Character>: Do you know where on the Third Level? Kara SuLema: Unfortunately, we do not. Kara SuLema: The Third Level is where Espina Rosa keeps its prisoners that it considers to be its most dangerous. Despite all our information gathering... Kara SuLema: ... We know nothing else of the Third Level. You will have to take care of that on your own. Kara hands you another scroll. Kara SuLema: Here are Edd's papers, and some more information on your target. Svera: Lastly, of course, there is the escape plan. We cannot count on you being as lucky as Carat. Svera: Hemla Yeila had only been at Espina Rosa for a short time and had been held on the Second Level. We need a more reliable escape route. Svera: One that does not involve sneaking past all the Soldiers on the First Level. Kara SuLema: Even with these plans, we could not find one. So we made one ourselves. Kara SuLema: Here. Just next to the entry to the Third Level is the Cooks' Kitchen. Inside the kitchen, there is a hole in the floor for kitchen waste. Kara SuLema: This hole opens up onto an underground water way that eventually end up into the sea surrounding the island. Kara SuLema: Although normally too small to be of any use, the tireless and risky effort of our gnomish allies has expanded it enough... Kara SuLema: ... to let a Gnomish submersible through. Svera: Thus, once you've accomplished your mission, make your way to the cooks' kitchen. Your escape route will be waiting for you there. Kara SuLema: That is all I have, <Character>, the rest is up to you. Good luck. <Character>: See you in a bit then, Kara. Svera, thank you as well. The hero is about to leave. Kara SuLema: Oh and <Character>? <Character>: Yes? Kara SuLema: Whatever happens, see to it that you return safe and sound. <Character>: I'll do my best. The hero leaves. Svera: Think they will pull it off? Kara SuLema: Of course I do. I just... that mask, Svera... Svera: I know! They both laugh. You are on the path to Swordhaven. Fight the monsters in your way. Once you reach the portal: A Rose Soldier is standing in front of the portal, holding a list. Gemini: ....... Gemini: Are you all right? <Character>: What? Of course, I'm... Gemini: Are those your papers? <Character>: Yes, Ma'am. You give them to the Gemini. She then tries to find Edd's name on her list. Gemini: Hmm... Gemini: Ah, there we go! Eddie Crimson. Gemini: Hmm... Temporary leave due to food poisoning inducing amnesia. Cause: ate Dumplings's food. Gemini: Oh, I see. Gemini: Well if Dumplings was the cause, you're lucky to have gotten away with only amnesia and a bit less colour in your cheeks. <Character>: What do you mean? Gemini: Dumplings used to live here in Swordhaven. You could say he has a reputation around these parts. Gemini: The Chefs of Swordhaven dubbed him the worse aspiring cook to have ever lived at the time. <Character>: Wow... That's harsh. Gemini: But quite possibly true. As funny as it is though, I doubt you are here to listen to me all day. Gemini is standing by a blue orb. Gemini: Just stay there and keep still while I run the scans. Initiate Magic Scan. Meanwhile, Z is pacing around in the Rose tower restlessly, mumbling to himself. Z: grumbles Z: Works... Z: Doesn't... Z: This one... Z: But not that one... Z: Oh, why, why, why?! Z: They worked wonderfully with the young dragons that we captured... Z: I was so proud of that! Z: Yet bracelets for elementals... still elude me. Z (shouting): Still! Meanwhile, the orb has finished scanning you. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Magic scan completed. No presence of magical items detected. Gemini: Good. Initiate facial recognition scan. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Initiating facial recognition scan. The orb scans "Edd's" face. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Scan completed. Identified: Eddie Crimson. Unit #040156. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Additional comments: Paleness found while scanning. Stan the ScanOrb: It is recommended that the subject refrain from performing casual saunters in graveyards by moonlight... Stan the ScanOrb: ... and to step out into the sun once in a while. <Character>: ....... Gemini: Oh, Stan! You're a funny one. Don't worry, Edd. Stan was only joking. Gemini: Looks like you're all good and clear to go. If you would wait a moment, I'll open up the portal and... Gemini notices Z standing behind you, looking grumpy. Gemini: Oh, hello Mr. Z! Z: And might I ask what is going on here? <Character> (thinking): Oh great... Now of all times... Gemini: Just finishing up Edd's inspection Mr. Z. I was about to send him off to Espina Rosa. Z looks at "Edd" very closely. Z: You're pale. Why is that? <Character>: Well... <Character> (thinking): All right, play it smooth, <Character>. Just stay in character. <Character>: Apparently, I had a rather bad case of food poisoning. Z: Apparently? What are trying to pull? Either you had food poisoning or you didn't! <Character>: That's the thing... I don't remember. I got amnesia and I don't have any memory of it. Z: Amnesia? Ha! That the poorest excuse I've ever heard! Gemini: It's true Mr. Z. I have it on Edd's record right here. He ate some of-- Z: I don't care what his excuse is! He's a fraud and I know it! <Character> (thinking): Shoot! He knows! Z: I mean just look at his face. Z: It's the embodiment of evil! <Character> (thinking): Phew... He's just being his usual crazy self. <Character> (thinking): Wait! That's nothing to be relieved about! Z: Scan orb! Initiate facial recognition scan! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Facial recognition scan already completed. Subject's result were... Z: I said initiate facial recognition scan! Do it again! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Initiating facial recognition scan. The orb scans "Edd's" face. Again. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Scan completed. Identified: Eddie Crimson. Unit #040156. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Additional comments: Paleness found while scanning. Stan the ScanOrb: It is recommended that the subject refrain from performing casual saunters in graveyards by moonlight... Stan the ScanOrb: ... and to step out into the sun once in a while. Z: Ah ha! A Necromancer! I knew it! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Negative. That was only... Z: Initiate Necromancer scan. Stan the ScanOrb: blip It was a joke. Z: I said initiate Necromancer Scan! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Initiating Necromancer Scan... Stan the ScanOrb: blip Necromancer Scan completed. Results: Negative. Subject scanned and cleared for... Z: Oh, so a Deathknight now is it? Thought you could hide your true form from a Necromancer Scan? Deathknight Scan! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Oh boy... An hour later Stan the ScanOrb: blip Pirate-Ninja Monkey Scan completed. Results: Negative. Z: Hmphtt... So you think you're smart having trumped all these scans? Z: You're coming with me! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Look pops, he's clean. Z: Oh... look who's talking. The Orb that can't scan anything right. Stan the ScanOrb: blip At least I have limited sentience and a sense of humor. Z: ...Are you insulting me? Stan the ScanOrb: blip Humor analysis parameters indicate irony is off the charts. Z: I'll have you know that I am a high ranking Rose official. Z: I can do WHATEVER I want! I could have you discharged and destroyed if I wanted to. Stan the ScanOrb: blip Filing harassment report. Z: And I'll say what I want when I want, do you hear me!? Stan the ScanOrb: blip My cousin is required to scan your face everyday. Do you see him complain? Z: ......... Stan the ScanOrb: blip If the earlier remark did not compute: It's not pretty. Z: That tears it! Stan the ScanOrb: blip Filing completed. Requesting security. Z: I'll pulverize him! Gemini: Mr Z, please! Two Rose soldiers arrive and drag Z away. Z: Leave him to rot in the Sneevil Dumpsite! Z: You haven't heard the last of me! Gemini: Sorry about that, Edd. Mr Z has his cranky days. Gemini activates the portal. Gemini: Good luck, Edd. I'll send a word to Espina Rosa that you are on your way. You enter the portal. Tower Guard: Sir! A Soldier has just exited the Portal! Tower Officer: That must be the one HeadQuarters is sending our way. Open the gates and let him through! Tower Guard: Open the Gates! You are standing in front of the main gate of Espina Rosa. <Character>: Here we go... You enter the fortress. It's completely dark inside. <Character>: Erm... hello? ???: Welcome back, Edd. <Character>: Who are you? ???: Ah yes... I guess you probably don't remember me. Not that I would remember you either that is. ???: Bradley is the one that does that for me, isn't that right, Private? Private Bradley: Yes, sir. ???: sighs I suppose I have to present myself again? Private Bradley: Yes, sir. ???: Right. Welcome to Espina Rosa again, Edd. We are pleased to have you and hope you stay with us for a long time to come. ???: While you are here, you will obey and follow my every order. Sofist: My name is Sofist. Head Officer and Jailer of Espina Rosa. Complete Quest Other information From Eukara Vox: quote: Those of you who found the intro odd and forced. Congrats. You got it. It is a forced laugh. It is a weird and odd thing. That is on purpose. There is more and more stress. More and more expectation. More and more instances where people are putting themselves in harm's way for Kara. After a while, you just laugh because you can't do anything else. No, the mask isn't all that funny. It isn't. But, unless you are a stoic statue of nothingness, stress and hardship will cause you to laugh or cry in times and instances where it makes no sense or is inappropriate. Everyone is questioning what kind of person Kara is. She's an elf, she's a leader and she is young and has a rebellion on her shoulders. So, you know, breaking down with someone you are close with is okay. At least it is with Svera and not the troops. I guess I figured, it would be nice for the players to see that she isn't a robot or a statue or MarySueish. She has faults, weaknesses and does things that everyone else does. Guests are removed upon beginning this quest as of January 29th, 2021. Next Up: On Broken Wings Thanks to Eukara Vox for other information.
