: I've been fighting extremely hard in our recent bandit encounters, can we repair my equipment?
: You're equipment's fine, Albert. Stop complaining.
: We have accumulated some hard earned coin, m'lady. I don't think my brother is out of line.: Very well. I have yet to repay Albert for slaying that bandit who knocked me out. I guess this will be my way of showing my appreciation. Let's go.
: I'd like to get a Chainmail Armor. It would give my body some serious protection without impending my movements too much.
: We don't have the money for that, lad.: Indeed, we do not. What else interests you, Albert?: Let's purchase a Small Shield then. It won't strain the coin purse and will help keep the bandits away.
: Let's head to Mass, everyone. There is one taking place right now.
: =D: =): =D: =)
: They minor injuries won't hinder out ability to fight, but letting them heal naturally would take a long time.: Agreed. We should head to the local physician and seek his aid in healing our wounds, if his asking price is not too costly.
: That seems rather expensive, m'lady.: I don't need be to examined and "healed", Lady Katrina.: Nonsense! If we're to be off fighting against bandits and Raubritters in the future, all of us need to be at full strength!: Gentlemen, please. Allow me ascertain whether our money would be well spent.
: Good sir, I am not particularly skilled in the art of Healing, but wouldn't a disinfectant be worth acquiring for the treatment of wounds?
: Equal? Hmph. You are fortunate you even get to practice medicine in this city at all!: ...Let's take our leave of this place, m'lady.: Before he asks us to leave.: Very well. Norbert, Reinhart, Albert. We're leaving.
: So, what now?: It's come to my attention that we lack someone with talent at opening locks and doors.: Why would we need someone like that? We are not a group of petty Thieves.: I agree with the Mistress here, Reinhart. We don't need no stinking Thievery to make our mark.: Excuse me?!: What?: Ignore my brother's poor choice of phrase, m'lady. He obviously did not intend to offend. Mistress can have different meanings.: >=| Fine. But it only means one thing to me. Make sure you don't refer to me as "Mistress" again, Albert.
: Wait! Why am I without protection?
: To me! To me! I require assistance!
: Reinhart, run past us!
: Haargh! Stay down!!
: You are quite welcome. We were happy to carry out such a noble deed.: Indeed. God Bless you and your family.
: *yawn* ... Oh! I've got it!: ?: We still haven't approached all of the Merchant Groups in the Market. Surely one of them will have a task for us!: M'lady, I sincerely doubt the heads of various associations would have any work we'd be able to carry out. We haven't even yet accomplished the task the Fuggers gave us and they're of lower repute than the Medici family, let alone the Hanseatic League. They won't even consider offering us a job.: Assuming they'd even see us, looking like this.: What's wrong with how we look? Sure we're a bit beaten up from the ruffians last night, but we're fine otherwise.: I... Oh never mind...: I know our group has yet to catch the eye of the Medici family or the Hanseatic League, but my friends, you are all underestimating the power of a kind word, a warm smile and a friendly demeanour. Especially when it comes from a young Lady of Noble heritage.
: You certainly have a lovely office here. Would the Hanseatic League be interested in doing business with me and my group of stalwart adventurers? Oh... where are my manners? I apologise for not introducing myself, my good man. I am Katrina, of House Seidel. I am sure a mutually beneficial arrangement could be reached, no?
: => I knew it...: =O ... >=|: Well, it looks like they don't want us here, Mistress, let's go...: Mistress?! Again with that word! Next time, keep your shut mouth, Albert!: Shut... mouth?: Huh?: >=(: We better leave before Lady Katrina does something to the clerk, or Albert.: Good idea.: >=(: Let's go back to the Inn. We can sit down, have a drink or two, and calm down.: I-*hic* ha-have a great idea... *hic* les go back to t-the Han-Hans-Han... Office and umm... smear it with horse dung from the Stables!: Are you possessed?: No I'm not! I'm f-fine. I'll go alone if... if I have t-to!: No, no! Don't do that Lady Katrina, it sounds like a wonderful idea... we'll join you. =\\Modifié par mrcrusty, 16 janvier 2012 - 11:23 .
: Everyone! Wait! (whispers) There's something out there...: I... I don't feel so good...
: Oi! Y-you there! Lummox heads! I'm Katridel of Seina. I-I... leave us be! You'll surely regret it! Lummox!: ...: =\\
: Speak for yourself. I'm surprised that it had the highest chance to succeed.: Yeah, it's not like my Streetwise Skill is any good, either.
: Since when did I become fat?
: Thank God!
: We have been attending Mass quite frequently in the past few days.: I don't have no problem with that, Reinhart.: Well said, Albert. =): Mass is all well and good, m'lady, but again, we must find something to do.: I suppose we could dedicate ourselves to training and work.: Perhaps we could continue fighting bandits.: Why not both? Work hard during the day, and fight bandits in the evening. We'd increase our reputation quite quickly.: It would be quite exhausting for us, how long would we do it for?: Wait! Please. Before we set ourselves to menial jobs, allow me to contact the Medici family. Maybe they can give us a task worth doing.: Surely you are joking, Lady Katrina. Did your drinking last night erase your memories of yesterday afternoon?: Reinhart my friend, you're sorely underestimating me and my abilities.: ....: Hah! I knew there was a reason we decided to join her, Norbert.
: Greetings, officials of the Medici family. I am Katrina of House Seidel and my band of Chivalrous individuals are in need of employment. Surely a meeting between us and the highest ranking Medici representative could be arranged.: This... will not end well.
: I don't believe this. You actually got us a job, princess!: This certainly was an unexpected outcome.: Colour me impressed, m'lady.: I'm not a princess, Albert. But while I appreciate your thanks gentlemen, Master Schleupner requires our undivided attention. Heh.
: A Raubritter?
: Rainald Alt. Wasn't that the name of the Raubritter extorting money from the Fuggers?: It is. It seems like he holds a tight grip on both of these organizations. Forgive my language, but what a bastard. I knew we should take him out. God indeed wills it.: Yes! Taking out a Raubritter instead of attending to menial jobs? I can't say no to that, princess!: I can. We're still too weak.: And for how long will we remain "too weak" Reinhart if we are to stay here and waste our lives doing menial jobs?! Tell me, for what other reason did we band together, if not to get fame and fortune for accomplishing the most righetous of deeds?!: Hear hear!: Wait, wait. M'lady, a couple of weeks. That's all we ask. A couple of weeks, to rest, work and train. In the day, we work and train. In the evening, we clear the city of bandits and thieves. We need a good reputation, experience and money for supplies. If we are to leave the city, we must prepare for the world outside and not simply leave on a whim.: The smartest thing anyone here has said yet. I never said that we would never cleanse Burglitz of this Raubritter, Lady Katrina. Merely that give ourselves the time and experience we need to ensure success in our task.: ...You make good arguments, both of you. Very well, I do not like it but for now, we will take your course of action. I suppose I could learn how to better Heal wounds. I'm sure that it would help us in our travels. What will the rest of you do? Work?: Yes, I'll work as a Craftsman. What will you two lads be doing?: We'll work as Armourers. Good, honest work.: Tch.

: I think we're ready now. To leave this city and make our mark.: So, what's the plan, princess?: The plan is simple. Rainald Alt. Right now, we are of moderate means and ability. Bringing this Raubritter to justice on behalf of the Fugger and Medici families ought to be our highest priority. Not only does God will it, but the reward for doing so would be immense, and the experience would be invaluable.: I am still opposed to that, Lady Katrina. I simply do not believe we have what it takes.: Coward! We have been in "preparation" for weeks, Reinhart. We aren't weaklings!: I'd gladly have us "preparing" for months if that's what it took!: You cannot be serious, Reinhart! What more can we learn, what more can do we here, that we cannot do out in the world?: We can learn how not to get killed by following the whims of flaky noblewomen and idiot grunts!: How dare you! : Damn coward! Just wait unti-: Enough! Everyone, calm yourselves. Now, I believe both sides have a point here. I don't think we should go after Rainald Alt just yet bu-: He's murderin' scum who's killing innocent travellers, bankers and officials! He needs to be stopped and we need to do the stopping. Why else work and train so hard for so long?! We are ready to slay him, brother.: Let me finish! Yes, we aren't yet ready to face off against Rainald Alt, but we are ready to leave the city. What we should do is-: I know where this is going. Fine then, Nobert. Search for rumors and small jobs for us to do. Albert and I will arrange a meeting with the Count of Burglitz and the Hanseatic League to see if they need us for any tasks or aid to render, too. We leave the city, cut our teeth on the smaller jobs and afterwards, assault Rainald Alt's castle. Is this acceptable to you, Nobert, potion brewer?: I... Yes. That is acceptable to me. I apologize for my poor choice of words and my temper in that exchange.: Well, I don't. Get going you two.
: My warmest and sincerest greetings to you. I am Katrina, of House Seidel. You might have heard of me and my group of virtuous adventurers.: A fine afternoon to you good sirs.: Yes, thank you for the assistance, Albert. To the point, then. I request an audience to speak with the Master of this city. A band of fine individuals such as ourselves would have plenty to offer the Burggraf.
: Will he close his eyes for the entirety of our meeting tomorrow, princess?: I do not know, Albert. But as long as he doesn't sing, I think we shall be okay.
: Hah! A Dragon! Fanciful dreaming to be sure, but what a dream that would be, eh Reinhart? Us, slaying Dragons!: It's just rumor mongering lad. More than likely, it's a group of bandits setting their victims alight. That's where the "Dragon" comes into it.: Well, I don't doubt you are right, but it would be something to boast about... Dragons. Pass me a groschen, I'll see what I can pry from the men drinking ale at the tables.
: Now this, this looks promising.: Freiberg, that is simply too far away. Besides, our goal is Rainald Alt, remember?: It might be far, but it's a good destination to head towards. Why attack Rainald Alt immediately? It's something to keep in mind, no?
: Oh! It's definitely the right-hand shell, I just know it. I saw it go under that one last.: M'lady, it's likely a trick. I would not wager our money on it being what it seems.: I think it's in the middle one.: Hmm... this game likely is fixed...: I say we go with Albert's suggestion: the middle shell.
: =D
I think you had people's attention for the first few chapters. My suggestion? Try having fan feedback to change the story. Make a poll of some sort and have them vote on something they'd like to see.Is Dom the only reader left?
(IMO).
