Knight makes his way to their destination quickly. After all, having people on his back was a bit uncomfortable. When he gets closer to where he feels a surge of magic he lands, his massive wings folding once his taloned feet hit the ground. "we have arrived to somewhere that feels... a bit on the heavy side with magic" He seems a bit uncomfortable with that much magic, which could only mean that they were getting very close to their desired location. He slowly lays down a bit so that his passengers can get off... Unless they want to ride him like a horse all the way there. Which would be irritating, but he would do it.

"Yeah, I felt that too... yep, it's Anna, she's right ahead." the high elf says pointing past a brush. "We just have to walk a bit more, though we need to be ready in case we'll face the archangel Gabriel. My lady, spare no power when fighting, this is an enemy stronger than any of us has ever seen, I hate to say it, but we might lose if we don't give it our all!"

Gorun nods at the death knight. It would be a hard battle to defeat this foe, but maybe with his inventions... Either way, the death knight offered a parley and Gorun was willing to listen. "I will hear it."

@RabidAnubis

"My master, Midnight the Eternal, currently in possession of the Universal weapon Darkstalker would like to ask you to head a different path than this. Darkstalker has too much power to handle for any mortal being, in the wrong hands, it could wipe out the planet." The Death Knight says, no hint of emotion in it's voice.

However, my master will he offering you this for your trouble." He says pulling a dark longsword out of one of it's sheaths. "It's the magical blade called the Corruptor. It's powers aren't close to the power of any of the universal weapons, it will however be strong enough to defeat many of the foes in your path.

He will also offer a teleporter stone to take you wherever you wish and will also be offering myself as your servant if you're willing to head for another of universal weapons. He means no harm to anyone and wants to just be left in peace. So what say you, noble dwarf?"

Iosef continued to press on, a little perturbed that his passage...felt so rigged.

"Say, I never caught your name," Iosef announced to the Jester.

@BytheSpleen

"You mortals can't say my name, I'm a being from another dimension, you can call me Jester though." He said as they passed through the passageway.

As they entered the room they noticed many treasures and gold in the room, however, in between the two of them, was a massive white golem.

"You seek to claim Earthrent..." The golem said. "You must offer something in return!"

"Psst, give him the elven sword, it will probably be enough!"

Legendary

You could say he landed somewhere where he felt a large surge of magic. I know how annoying autocorrect can be sometimes...

@Claw2k11

Iosef raises his eyebrow at this, before walking closer by about two paces.

"Care to join? Must be awful staying in the same room for so long, isn't it?"

@BytheSpleen

The manticore nodded and got out of the group's way, letting them go through the entrance, though even if it was behind them, it stared intently at Iosef.

Knight makes his way to their destination quickly. After all, having people on his back was a bit uncomfortable. When he gets closer he lands, his massive wings folding once his talented feet hit the ground. "we have arrived"

@BlackPanther

(Their destination was the Universal Weapon Anna, so you might want to edit that post a bit).

@Claw2k11
"Well ho-leeee shit! I got that much brass right 'ere!" With that, Connor walks over to Goran and gives him the platinum piece. "Alright guv, let me go get the rest of my party. I'm gonna need you and them to fight off the king's wyvern knights while I get one of the three swords from a temple nearby."

@Simple Unicycle

"You heard him boys!" Goran shouted. "Let's move it out!" He shouted again to his men.

Meanwhile, inside the tavern, the twins and the orc of the group got in a drinking contest... it seems the orc was winning.

"Sounds good. I hope those wyverns are as strong as everyone says they are. We'll need all the help we can get."

@iotas

"They're miniature version of a dragon, so yes, they are strong." Garas said as they entered a small building inside the city. "Wait outside, I'll have a talk with, ok?"

Legendary

@Claw2k11

"Am I to be given another riddle?" Iosef announces, almost on the verge of yelling. He raises his blade, as if ready to battle.

@BytheSpleen

The manticore a bit surprised begins to hiss, but then calms down and stares expectantly at Iosef.

"Ah, for crying out loud, just talk to the damn thing to get it to join us so that we can move already!" The Jester says a bit bored.

"I suppose that's true, but I have a bad feeling Sssvalian won't be up for peaceful conflict resolution. Still, we should try!"

Turning to Maria, Colmaz flipped through his notebook until he found the sketch he was looking for. "This is Swamp Rot. It grows in marshy areas around here, especially on rotting trees and logs. Look for the white spots- that's what distinguishes it from normal Marsh Rot. If you could keep an eye out for Nightshade and Friar's Cap-" he flipped to another page to show the illustrations- "that's be awesome. Thanks, Maria."

@iotas

She studied the picture for a moment before several water elementals spawned near the wagon and immediately started searching the forests for the plants.

The wagons went through the city gates and as soon as they did, the people glared at the gnoll as if he had done harm to them. Garas jumps out of the wagon and signals for Colmaz and Maria to do the same.

"Come on, we'll have to go to the captain of the garrison and get the men and the wyverns we need to get Sssalivan."

@Claw2k11
Connor stops, a grin on his face, and slowly turns his head to face Goran. "How much do you want?"

@Simple Unicycle

"Hmm, I think that 1 platinum coin would be enough considering the bounty on my head and the skill of my boys and girls." He said glancing at his gang.

@Claw2k11

And so Iosef pressed forwards, his blade still drawn for the next trials ahead.

@BytheSpleen

After traveling in a dark corridor for a few minutes, he enters a wide and empty room, empty except for a large winged figure... a manticore.

Though despite having seen them, it only stared intently at them, blocking the path ahead of them. He could try to talk to it, or he could attack it and try to kill it.

"Alright!" said Colmaz, clapping his hands together. He was surprised to see the display of emotion from Maria, but he was glad he saw it.

"I think I'll focus my attention on trying to make a whole lot of poison! It's going to be hard, especially without a lab, and I'll need a whole lot of Swamp Rot, but I think I'll be able to do it!"

He looked back to his book excitedly. "We're going to beat this dragon," he said.

@iotas

"Don't get ahead of yourself, my friend, he is very powerful, plus, we must always try the diplomatic route first so that we see if it is possible to avoid any needless bloodshed." Garas says. "That sounds weird coming from a gnoll warrior, right?" He asks with a chuckle.

"Can you describe this plant you want to search for?" Maria asks. "That way, I can have a few water elementals looking for them while we talk to the people inside the city."

Legendary

<Snipped quote by Claw2k11>
As he watched Towar come into view, Colmaz felt an idea forming.

"Maria, if against all odds I find a way to brew a ridiculous amount of poison, would you be able to somehow mix it into your magic? Sort of like those ice spears you used on the murlocs earlier, but I mix a magic poison into the water you use. I figure... If I could somehow combine frost lichen into a liquid nightshade base..."

Now, Colmaz was just mumbling to himself and frantically flipping through his notebook, completely lost in thought. He looked up after a while.

"Could you do it?"

@iotas

"Well... I see no reason as to why it wouldn't be possible." Maria says looking curiously at him. "Though we'd first have to cause a open wound, I mean he is weak against water and ice, but his scales are really tough, but, yeah, I could do it!" She says, a small smile popping up on her face.

@Claw2k11

Iosef draws his blade.

"To have power, in one form or another. Simple as that."

@BytheSpleen

The Jester seems to ponder the situation, looking at the sky for a few moments before a wide grin appears on his face. "Then cross into the temple of the cursed sword Earthrent!" He says "I'll be joining you so I can see... the fights!"

And with that the gate slowly opened, revealing stairs that went deep into the earth. Iosef could feel the energy of the sword coming from the the depths.

<Snipped quote by Claw2k11>
"Oh, I wasn't aware of that," said Colmaz, a little annoyed. He was counting on that lab. "I guess we'll just have to hope my current stock is enough. I don't know much about this Sssvalian character, so we'll definitely be relying on the garrison a lot. I'm not sure how much help I'll be in the fight against him, either. I suppose it'd be too lucky for an Elder Dragon to have a convent weakness to Mugroot poisoning, wouldn't it?"

These realizations bothered Colmaz. Up until now, he was optimistic about his search, but reality was starting to weigh on him.

@iotas

"Well, Elder Dragon or not, Sssalivan is a fire dragon, so he will be damaged by poisons and will be weak against fire magic, but then again, he's huge, so we'll have to be careful about his fire breath. Lucky me that I packed some ice runes!" Garas grinned.

"We could also try asking Hiraldor for help..." The water priestess said. "I mean he's one of the six dragons that have been protecting humanity from other dragons. Plus he's a ice dragon."

"I wouldn't count on that, plus even of he is nearby, we have no way of signaling him to get here to help us."

As they talked, Colmaz could see the large walls of Towar in the distance, it wouldn't be long before they would get to the city.
