@Thinslayer

Xen has been at the west gate. Is everyone accounted for or am I waiting for someone else?

@XenoCyanide

Everyone is accounted for. I will assume Ivan is present after receiving the note at the inm, @Darkmoon Angel.

@tex
@XenoCyanide
We're kinda waiting on you guys. ;)

The Faraway Land

With a defeated sigh, Ivan let Vert go her own way. He himself needed to prepare for the journey ahead. He turned to Zenovia and smiled. Come on, lets go get some supplies... As they left the meeting area, Ivan was having second thoughts about bringing Noire along. What with the buisness with the Warlock, and Vert joining them on the journey, it was becoming much too dangerous.

Hang on a sec Zenovia... I gotta take care of something real quick. Ivan headed for the inn, surely Noire would still be hanging around there.

@Darkmoon Angel

Noire was not there. He should have been. The bartender hailed Ivan down.
"Are you Ivan Stormwall? Your friend left a note for you."

Hey Ivan,
Some bad guys caught up with me, so I gotta run. They're orcs, big ones. I don't know what they want with me, bu don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Go out there and make me proud, okay?

The Storyteller closed his book and put it away as Vert voiced her opinions on the solutions. He wasn't surprised by the opinions she had, The Storyteller wouldn't have like either option. The Storyteller was then struck by a thought that caused him to bring his left hand up to his eyes. "You wouldn't happen to have any suggestions, would you?" The Storyteller asked the silver ring that adorned his finger.

@rush99999

A few minutes later, he received a vision of a bright blue stone on a necklace hanging around Vert's neck. When the maw in her belly vanished, so did the light in the stone.

It was a mana stone, found in the dwarven mines and occasionally sold to the elves.

Whoever hasn't posted yet, please make a post that involves your character arriving at the west gate by the end of it.

@Thinslayer

How exactly will we find this out IC?

@rush99999

Obtain a Mana Meter. Keep track of the curse's strength and note whatever Vert does that weakens it. If you wish upon Erudessa's ring for a Mana Meter, she'll find a way to get you one.

The Faraway Land

so.... saving a whole town doesn't count? I mean if it's certain doom I see that as quantifiable. Does saving the person from harm count? Like saving a person from having their leg broken?

@Cuccoruler

Well yeah, if the whole town is about to get nuked and you played a key role in stopping it, all you gotta do is take a census to find out how many you saved.

Saving a person from harm would only count if all Vert did was eat people's limbs.

The Faraway Land

mmmm Maybe? Was kinda hoping it would be a bit more complicated but I guess that works? Would saving have to be directly like she takes an arrow for them or she stops a herd of buffalo from tearing down a whole village and thus saves everyone in town?

@Cuccoruler

The effect has to be quantifiable. There's no way of knowing how many people (if any) would die from a stampeding herd of buffalo, but if you get in the path of an arrow, you'll know exactly how many people were saved.

@Thinslayer

"Yes, that is is. Thank you. Tiberius said hurriedly as he grabbed the ledger. For some reason, Tiberius had the notion that it would be an actual book with a story but he was very wrong.

He then read what the book had upon its pages over and over again, trying to find some hidden meaning, but with no luck. These records weren't much to go on, just expenses and the fated trip to Fellmore, which was just littered with taxes and all things financial which he cared little about.

Then the name, Druth Vanarys appeared. He wasn't familiar with it but if it was important enough to be listed with the other three council member names, then there had to be something of relevance about it.

Tiberius looked at the clerk again and questioned, "Who is Druth Vanarys? I'm not quite familiar with the name."

@Lord Zee

The clerk continued sorting his pile of documents. "His name crops up more in the older documents. I always assumed he was another council member. I never see his name in anything under four centuries old, so I figure he up and died or something."

<Snipped quote by Thinslayer>

too simplified. I take it you don't want her becoming a slime... I mean that would have included her entire body pretty much melting while she's in alot of agony

@Cuccoruler

If you really want her to become a slime, she'll have to ask the Warlock, because he's the only one in the world who knows how it works. And even then, he may not be familiar with it. No.

How about she save as many lives as she took?
