When the two nobles started talking with their long winded speeches and flowery words, Scrapmouse merely looked at her soot darkened nails casually, and simply nodded when they said that they were the best in the lands. However, they had her attention when they mentioned that it wasn't them who called the heroes, since their seal was not on the letter. Scrapmouse's eyes widened slightly and looked to the nobles. She commented to the both of them warily "[color=magenta]Ya mean to tell me that ya [i]didn't[/i] forget to put the seal on those letters?[/color]" After she asked, the skies darkened and an angel appeared, speaking for Valkur. [center][i]You mortals have been gathered for glory in battle and the taste of godhood itself![/i][/center] "[color=magenta][i]Oh krick'nick nark![/i][/color]" Scrapmouse couldn't help but swear in gnomish under her breath, and throw up her hands for a brief moment in frustration and anger, before having them crossed around her chest. She wasn't going to translate that. Who knows who could be reading this? It could be the kiddies for all anyone knew! Anyways, the last time she heard that bullcrap come out of a divine being's mouth, people lost their lives for its entertainment and she lost her freedom for a certain amount of time. So of course she wasn't exactly trusting of this divine being. She listened as he spoke of fighting for good and about a dragon and giants, and a lich and the undead getting ready to attack, before the messenger disappeared. The rock gnome listened to the other heroes as they spoke. The only ones that she seemed to agree with were the noblewoman, the paladin, and the cleric. She answered "[color=magenta]I agree with Gramps on how we should split the party. For now, let's get going to that library! You'll need mah researchin' skills as well,[/color]" She then hopped off of Sparky and looked to Ada, ready to get going to the library. She would go on ahead herself, but she didn't know where the library was. However, as she looked at the rest of the party, her mind recalled the dark memories once more. If this was going where she thought it was going, then she was going to need to spend as much time with these heroes as she can, and yet keep herself detached. She needed to know their strengths and weaknesses. Valor may be regaled as a good guy. But you know what they say: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Perhaps Valkur also sees them as nothing more than entertainment as well for when the bad guys are slain and there's nothing else for them to fight... If that is the case, then Scrapmouse needed to be prepared. And she would be adding another god to her hit list.
