Intrigues of Venedig - High Fantasy Mature RP

City Event - Mostly for the Main Party

Mergoux, Louise, Rote, Jehenne, Tamlorn and Noel

Rote blinked and said, "Well, this was anticlimatic!" He was not going to answer Tamlorn's question as Jehenne had to do it herself. Facing the mercenaries, the redhead then said, "So, who sent you and where are you taking us so we can be free?"

A one-eyed, heavyset mercenary with long stubble was the one to respond. "The Inquisitor is waiting beyond this 'here alleyway, along with a squad of elite guards set to watch us if we stab 'im in the back, all metaphor-like. As for where, I presume the 'Black Cathedral'."

Then a nod as Rote said, "So the Church of Existence is risking themselves to save us. I never thought one of their Inquisition's Headquarters will mean safety in my lifetime."

A brief history of the Church of Existence's Inquisition that most nobles and a few commoners should know - Like all religions, the Church of Existence has had its share of heretics and deviant members, and while it takes a light stance towards the former, that is only if the heresy did not involve notions such as 'Existence is Suffering, therefore we should destroy everything that exists' or 'Existence is amoral, therefore morality does not exist and we can do whatever we want'. When those notions are involved, the Inquisition is sent to unearth and destroy those who hold such notions lest they lead to large-scale murder.

As the wind blew across Rote's still-naked body, the young man said, "At least someone is finally doing something about this situation - Now civilization can be saved and a higher cause can be followed!"

Another mercenary handed over a set of robes and underwear to Rote and Jehenne, the former who put them on reluctantly - He actually liked the nudity. Once both were clothed, the mercenaries - Mergoux may or may not have slipped out of the band during this time - would lead the former slaves into a set of alleyways. Rote made sure to pick up his own 'sealing stone' on the way, of course.

The alleyways led to a small canal, where a gondola and a dozen guards waited for the two ex-nobles. But the most striking figure was the man in a tall hat and long overcoat who carried a holstered pistol and a sword.

Hidden for size

"Greetings," he said in a mixture of Reich and Native Venedig accents. "My name is Inquisitor Malamocco. I am here to bring you to the Black Cathedral for 'safekeeping', safekeeping from the greater conflict soon to come." He then looked at Tamlorn if he had chosen to come with them. "What's this? An unexpected arrival?" His guards - Ex-Marine Knights all - raised up their cutlasses and pistols. "You are lucky I am in a forgiving mood right now, Lord Winter-Rose."

He then gestured for Tamlorn, Rote, and Jehenne to go to the Gondola - The guards had boats of their own. Inquisitor Malamocco then muttered, "My, my, between you three and the Fragach boy, the Black Cathedral is seeing unexpected guests - Yes, Rote, Noel is here and he's turned agianst the family legacy. Or rather, he will be arriving at the same time this Gondola arrives at the Black Cathedral."

------

Libero, Noel, and their Butler were in a position to see the Black Cathedral from afar, even before they reached the place itself. An ominous edifice, it was nevertheless a place of unexpected safety, especially with the Inquisition having better things to do than repression...

Waiting for MagusDream to finish his private plot (he's allowed to post multiple times a round for now) before continuing the main story!

Kingdom Hearts - The Lights of the Multiverse (KH and Alternate History) [Full]

Mysterious Keyhole, Ongoing World War II

Tocsax grinned as he walked over to the Keyhole, lifting up said Keyblade in order to seal it. "It's always good to know the people you'll be fighting beside. Very well, let me give you a summary of each of our remaining members, including a few tidbits they don't know I know..."

As he sealed the Keyhole, Tocsax gave Astus a short summary of the various members' backstories, powers, and abilities, before telling him of the objectives each team faced. "Agni, Ignitio, Victor, and Vic are in Great Britain, getting the Princess of Heart of this world on our side. Georgia, Asher, and Hirutila are eliminating Adolf Hitler, a most sanguinary tyrant who killed tens of millions of people in both this timeline and the Original one."

A pause. "As for Yuuta, he's been sent to eliminate Josef Stalin, another sanguinary tyrant, but I think that Stalin already got eliminated by someone else."

Tocsax then finished resealing the Keyhole, before saying, "Thank you for making this much easier than it would have been otherwise, by the way."

London, England, Ongoing World War II

Lucy replied to Judah as she kept repairing the army truck, "That's good! Sorry for not being able to prepare a quick lunch, but happy to meet you all - My name is Lucille Bolt, mechanic and repairwoman! And I think that if Judah trusts you, I am going to as well."

Her voice seemed charged with energy, with an enthusiasm that most people would find infectious. Judah was visibly smiling as he looked at Agni before making his reply, "If it puts Lucy in danger, automatic refusal. But I will still hear you out - There are hints of something greater coming from Moogle Gossip, but they're not saying anything much."

He then took off his trenchcoat and deposited it at a nearby hanger, revealing the shirt and vest underneath, as well as a long pair of trousers and thick combat boots. Then he continued to say to Agni, Victor, and Vic, ignoring Ignitio for now, "But first, lunch. You three, can you cook? I have some talent in the kitchen myself."

Then to Vic, Judah said, "You're fourteen, so you're allowed to stare if you're innocent enough. And you're one of the rare people who are innocent enough." A smile. "Keep that up. Now let's go prepare some Kosher meals!"

Berlin, Germany, Ongoing World War II

A few outlying patrols of Heartless were avoided as the team went into the city, with the buildings, alleyways, and motorcars providing plenty of cover for them. But as they went deeper into Berlin, the group might feel a chill, an increasing sense of coldness that was unconnected to the weather. Patrols of Search Ghosts* would multiply, each projecting a searchlight from their good eye which they used to seek out infiltrators. These patrols were followed up by Nazis in Possessed Trucks which moved by themselves - These men were clearly battle-hardened, carrying automatic and semi-automatic weapons as well as daggers and truncheons.

@Letter Bee okay, no problem. the emotions that were plain were more of "wow this sucks", lol

@Zoey White

I revised my post, and thanks for your patience.

Mergoux's actions in Overlord Thraka's post will be revised!

Intrigues of Venedig - High Fantasy Mature RP

I need some clarification, are there two giant half-elves, one being Mergoux and the other with the mercenary band?

@jdh97

No, just Mergoux.

Intrigues of Venedig - High Fantasy Mature RP

@Letter Bee uh, can Rote read minds? genuine question, since there's like, magic and stuff. But Jehenne hasn't said anything about vengeance, and she's a pretty good liar when talking to louise.

also, i forgot to change my exceptional skills list. so i'm gonna do that now!

@Zoey White

No, I merely made a mistake - I thought Jehenne's emotions were more plain during the auction stand.

Isekai Rangers! Solve Problems, Break Hearts, Grievous Bodily Harm!

Interested!

City Event - Mostly for the Main Party

Mergoux, Louise, Rote, Jehenne, Tamlorn and Noel

Rote huffed, and said to Louise as he walked naked behind her, not even bothering to cover himself, "We can only be friends if you'd actually believe me. Even then you should know that you're only acting in an embittering fashion."

He looked away from Jehenne as he rolled his eyes - Is she sucking up to her 'mistress' already, or is this some larger gambit? Nevertheless, Rote made sure to watch his step enough to avoid the sharper stones, asking, "So, what work will you put us into? Don't expect handsome young me to go in bed with anyone - male or female - against his own will."

Rote then felt as though someone was watching him and the group, but chose not to alert anyone - Louise was a slavemistress and Jehenne was more interested in her own personal benefit than saving civilization. And so when a half-dozen crossbow bolts rang towards Louise, Rote was hopefully the only one in a position to dive out of the way - He expected Louise to be able to put up some sort of barrier for herself and Jehenne.

Tamlorn's arrival was unexpected in a way the ambush was not, same for one of the ambushers saying, "We're here to free the slaves, you filthy noble scumbags! Give them up or we gut you like fishes!"

Six crossbowmen, twelve melee fighters, and six Hedge-Mages without formal training, three who were casting healing spells at their compatriots even before any of them got wounded, and three others conjuring up water and earth to throw at Louise - At least they knew their 'elemental weaknesses'. And of course, the giant of a Half-Elf who was presumably on the mercs' side. A smile, as it seemed that the Kaufmann Family still had allies.

Turning to the mercs, Rote yelled out, "The Female Mage has two stones that allow her to control our own Magic! Make her drop them!"
