Relic of Family-Quest Thread

[Deleted]

Kail was very much annoyed by Aria and if he could shut her up and knock her down a peg or two he would. He was in this world for one year and he did not know anything of this world he was still learning shit. Compared to someone that came from a alternate timeline of a fantasy world. What pissed him off was the fact that there was nothing he could do to one up or put Aria in her place, at least in his mind. The other thought in his mind was the fact that she had this charisma to get anyone to follow her or make them just instantly agree with her. Not wanting to let this rage boil over into the job and make him lose objectivity. He would push what he had into the back burner even though this was boiling over. None the less he would talk to and appologize to both Lilith and Nyx at another time. Right now he had to keep his anger in check. He hears Aria offer some alcohol "No thanks" he said not wanting to add anything else to that. As again he was trying to keep his anger in check. But after a bit the blond sees Arthur finally getting the door open. Hearing the part of the reward got him in a better mood.

Once he walked in though Kail's eyes went wide as if a kid in a candystore as the treasure was lined up to the walls and around them on the floor. If he knew a way to get all of this out of here, he could buy out a massive piece of land out in Nova. But followed Arthur towards the back and sees the shield and what the old man was coming after. "I can see why you needed help....for that treasure. I wish I had a great family like yours Arthur. Mine was just twisted and messed up, anyway don't mind me" he said and then eyed the treasure. He took five ingots of Mythril Silver and eyed the spear. The other items though he would wait on though as he was not sure what else to take. He liked the bag but again there were other items there he could take. But again was not sure on which one to have.

Lilith blinked. That had happened in slow motion for her for some odd reason, not that she was complaining. She did feel the affects of her magic use on her body, and felt a bit weary for a moment. She turned her head to Aria when she heard her name, offering a small smile of thanks. Practice indeed. I don’t mind if Tres takes over. I more so just wanted to make sure one was appointed more than it being me specifically. She shrugged, her energy returning to her slowly. She noticed Kail’s mood was declining further, but decided to take a step back from whatever drama was brewing in his head. Whatever problem he had with Aria, she’d gotten him to agree not to try anything while they worked together, and even if he did, she had something in her bag that would stop him in his tracks, if her vines didn’t.

When offered the drink, Lilith quickly waved her hand, politely declining. Drinking was something she did rarely, and only when she didn’t need to keep her mind sharp; drinks often made her woosy and a bit more free spirited, as Kail may remember from their first meeting.

Lilith stayed generally near Aria while they waited, still quiet as normal. At last the door was opened, crunching her eyebrows for a moment when the dwarf mentioned rewards. As they walked into the room, Lilith’s eyes widened, taking in the room and its inventory. This must have been what he’d meant, and no doubt Kail would be thrilled. Lilith was mildly surprised when Arthur said they could take what they want and after a moment of thought she wanted the room, curious to what she could find for herself.

Her eyes fell upon a very well crafted bag, looking like it had been made of very expensive leather. She was drawn to it instantly, lifting it up and dusting it off, smiling to herself. This would come in handy. She opened it, peering inside, wondering how much it could hold. She knelt down, placing her scythe on the ground, and then removing her bag from her shoulder, placing it and everything still inside it, into the new bag, looking curious as it didn’t seem to fill the bag at all. She opened it again, confused as she peered into it. Shaking her head, she closed it, picking her scythe off of the ground and stood back up.

As she looked around a bit more, she found a simply beautiful set of daggers, stunning silver blades with dark green painted leather hilts. She picked one up, tracing her finger delicately over the blade, noting how it was already sharpened very well. After another moment of thought, she placed the set inside her new bag, feeling no weight added once so ever. At a later time, she would inspect the bag more throughly, maybe run it by Aria. Her looting was finished, after she took her own five ingots of Mythril Silver, knowing full well she could use the money from them later.

For the remaining time, she would lean against a wall and watch the rest of her group loot the room, holding her new bag tightly on her shoulder, wondering it she could somehow fit her scythe in it, until it was needed again.

Aria handed over the whiskey that Calix had so generously given her to Nyx so she could take some. Chuckling when she mentioned yelling at the creator of those things. ”The Novites are a mutation of the spiders that use to live in manna gorge. After the gorge was created by Caster animals in the surrounding area around the gorge began to mutate. Novites happen to be one of them. Gorge hounds are another example of a mutation caused by the gorge. So no one ‘created’ them; least not on purpose.” Aria finished off her snack and took back the flask, seeing how no one else wanted a sip she placed it back in her bag. Nodding to Tres when she mentioned wanting to keep her senses sharp. Covering her mouth and nose again when she heard the latch come undone for the door Arthur was working on. Any dust and such from these old ruins could cause havoc to ones lungs. Never knew what bacteria may be breeding in it.

She stood up and shouldered her pack and waited to go in. She allowed Lilith and Kail to go before her and fallowed the three to the door. She poked her head through the door and her eyes widen. When the dwarf said they could take as much as they wanted. A girlish giggle escaped her mouth as she bunny hopped into the room; shaking her hips as she went. In a sing song voice she sang ”I’ma greedy draagon” She hopped right into a large pile of gold and rolled around in it. She let out a happy sigh as she moved her arms and legs making a gold angel. ”I think I just had a goldgasm.” Aria sat up grabbing handfuls of treasure and inspected it. Grabbing the good stuff and shoving a bunch in her bag. She took five pieces of igots and placed them in her bag. But also shoved handfuls of gold and shoved it in her bag. When her bag was full she moved to stuffing gold down her shirt and pants. Hey when there was gold anything that would hold it went. ”MY BUTTS GONNA JINGLE!” She let out another giggle as she layered her neck up with jewel necklaces, and rings on her fingers. She layered her arms with bracelets, and when her arms were full she layered the bracelets in her hair. Along with a few circlets and even a crown. Once she had taken up any available space on her body she went over to the weapons. She wasn’t an axe person by far; Kail had grabbed the spear, she already had one of those, Lilith grabbed the daggers something which she was most familiar with next to the sword. She already had both a sword and a staff. Her other staff was made of a special wood that was hard as steal that and she could manipulated it…She supposed that left the sword for her to inspect. Aria picked it up and tested its balance; it was a fine sword…though it wasn’t like her old one stolen from her. But perhaps this one would make a good gift. Garrett or Noku might like it. She attached the sword by her other one on her hip. By now it was fairly apparently Aria had much practice when it came to carrying and grabbing loot.

Aria went over to the books and flipped through; noticing a tome on spells she put it back knowing one of the others could probably use it. She walked over to the mithril chain mail and picked it up… it could be useful but it did jingle a bit. She held it out and examined and pouted. ”Hey any of you smaller endowed girls...or person, want this. My girls are too big for this and its good quality. If I tried to squeeze into this I’m more then sure I’d pinch my nips.” Aria placed it back down and continued to stuff treasure in any place it would fit. She stuffed a couple of old books into her bag; making sure the spell one wasn’t the one she grabbed. The old books were just ordinary old books. Finally she walked over to the cask…this would be difficult to take out. She tested moving it… It was lighter then blondie. She took rope out of her back; which created more room for more treasure. She tied a few knots and made a sling in which she could carry the cask on her back. She moved her bow to lay across her front along with the quiver and hoisted the cask to her back. A large ass grin on her face; the crown which sat on top of her head tilting slightly. She looked like a pack mule, and did indeed jingle when she walked. It was a good thing she was stronger than she looked. ”I know a few things that are going to chafe like hell but I”M GOOD”

[Nyx]

Nyx noticed that everyone turn down the alcohol for legit reasons that she could understand wanting to keep their wits about them but all the hell she just went through she needed it to keep her calm. After she drinks she listened to Aria explain that the Novites was more of a mutation than someone deciding to create them for a sick joke. "Still, someone needs to control their population." She said then finish up her little side snack just in time.



Pushing herself off the wall she walked followed behind the others letting Kail, Lilith and Aria get they pick of the rewards first. Once she was inside the room she looked around her eyes widen she was in heaven it was like walking into a jewelry, weapons, armor and bookstore all in one. It was a mini mall and everything was free that day. Following Aria, she drove into a different pile of gold swimming in it, unlike Aria she was gonna sing around being a greedy dragon.



As she kept swimming in gold she picked out a pair of earrings gold and silver earrings with little diamonds in them putting them on all away. Next, she grabbed as many necklaces as she neck could hold without it weighing down on her too much. Afterwards, she shoves as much jewellery as she could down her shirt using her breast a natural pocket. Jumping a few times to make sure that nothing would fall out she used the straps of her top to carry more earrings and necklaces before covering her legs in more she wasn't going to leave this place until she had enough to make her seem like a god damn princess from another land. Once she was done she shook her body hearing the jingle of her clothes liking the sound. Her eyes soon spotted a tiara taking it to put in down into her bag followed by some circlets, hair combs leaving enough place for some things, she even braided a few necklaces into her hair as she placed a circlet on her head followed a tiara. Next, she grabbed some bracelets decorating her hands in colours of gold and silver with different coloured gemstones in them.



As she was about to leave the pile of gold she walked towards the weapons she spotted a couple of things a pair of earrings golden shaped like a bow with a purple gemstone in the middle, matching locket next to it. Picking them up she placed them in her bag then when over to the remaining weapons, looked between the axe and the battle rod which reminded her of a staff she picked up the battle rod she was gonna strap to her back when she realised that she could put more stuff on it. Going back to the pile she started draping bracelets and necklaces battle rod before strapping it to her bag than doing the same to her own staff making it look more a bling staff that a magical one. Soon she was fully decorated from head to down with bling with three rings on each finger.



Walking a big a bit awkward with all of her bling she noticed the pile of book that Aria had left walking over to them she noticed that there were spell books. Since she was still new to this world she decided that they would be useful to her she picked them up and place them in her bag with notice to check them once they left this underground world to see what spells were in them. Seeing that she still had some room in her back for smaller items she grabbed a few more rings throwing them into her bag.



Walking over back to everyone staff in hand jingling like the bells at a church during a wedding. "Well I'm good.... sooooo how do we get out of here." She asked as she shook her staff loving the sound of the jingle of new bling will make her feel like a princess now she only needed a home to put all of that bling so that it was safe.

[Trésor de Lys]

    As the doors opened before the group in a slow-motion fashion, Tres was astonished by the mass amount of gold that shone before her. Her eyes glistened as she started at the mound of a mixture of coins, jewelry, and other things. Tres fell behind the group, walking in slowly to take it all in. She watched as the rest picked their loot of the lot.

    Tres rummaged through the pile shortly after Kail and Lilith claimed their piece of the treasure. Tres picked up her five ingots of Mythril silver, and slid them into her bag. They fell to the bottom of her bag, in-between her other items, un-moving. She made her way over to Aria who was examining a beautiful sword that fit in her hilt. Tres placed a soft hand on Aria's shoulder as she settled the sword in her hilt.

    "Aria, would you mind if I saw the sword for a moment?" she said in a quiet tone. If Aria let her examine the sword, Tres would take it in her hands, and take a few steps away from Aria to make sure she was a safe enough distance and begin trying different stances. The weapon was light, and mobile, and felt right in her hands. Once Tres was done playing with the sword, she would look at Aria, her eyes saying "please?".

    After seeing Aria, she made her way over to a very fishy smelling fungi. She followed her nose to find a mossy pile of mushrooms clumped together. She looked them over, seeing that they were a light blue colour with a neon green stem. They were a peculiar specimen, which appealed to Tres. She collect them in a bag, moss and all, which made the foul odor follow her.

    Looking at Nyx who was decked out in various gold embellishments, she agreed with her. Wondering which way to take out.

[Deleted]

As the party gathered there own treasures a foul stench far worse then the mushrooms could be smelled. This stench was that of decayed flesh and bone. The rotten smell was growing more and more until something broke through the wall, and it was a sickening creature of flesh and bone. It was entirely made out of the bodies of various humanoids cobbled together its lower portion of its body used multible legs as locomotion as its movements were that of a centapide, its torso and upper body was also fleshy but protected by various bones and one could see and hear various moans of pain and death. Mornfully calling out to end there pain and suffering. Its head and neck were serpentine and the eye sockets of the beast were pitch black flames. Its teeth and fangs were twisted and seratied. Along its back were massive shards of black stone along its back, it let out a presance of demonic power akin to Zeppon. It then let lose a demonic roar and was now charging the group!

[Deleted]

As Arthur got his family treasure back he watched the group and chuckled a bit at the antics of Aria. As she jumped into the gold and was as if she was a small girl. But the old man started to smell something bad and he paled a bit "I think we should hurry on now" he said until something broke through the wall. To his horror the beast was an unholy abombination of life and anything holy. This thing had instilled absolute terror within the old dwarf and that was not something that would be easy to do. But shoved that down and tried to gauge on what they should do "I would normally say we should fight this bastard. But that would be wee to much of a fool's arrond, we should run like hell" he said and started to move while casting something. Arthur did hope that the thing he was going to cast would be able to stun it just for a small amount of time. As he knew that they were all tired and worn out from fighting all the way there.

[Deleted]

As the group went around stuffing there coffers with gold and other such treasures, Kail grabbed several challaces and other drinking vessles. Plus getting some jewelery, if he was going to have someone special in his life he would need to have some bling for them. Also including the other things as show pieces for his treasure collection that he wanted to have. Seeing as everyone had taken the main treasures "I guess I'll take the chain mail, need a replacement for the original armor I was using. I have not had the chance to repair it yet" he said and placed it into his bag that he had. The blond could feel a slight tremor and then Arthur yelling. Kail turned to the direction of the crash and saw the undead creature. "Oh hell no, and I seriously forgot to take my Railgun with me. Where is a freaking rocket launcher to send this resident evil reject back to wherever" he said. Half of it could make sense the other part not so much as it would be over most heads in the group.

Kail was half way tempted to use his accelerator spell to bolt out of there. But he was not going to do that as he was not that much of an ass towards Lilith and Nyx. Aria....that was another story but right now he was going to bolt ahead of the group and act as a spearhead to break through anything that would try and stop them.

[Deleted]

Lilith watched with an amused look on her face as Aria pranced around the room, singing aloud about her greed. She shook her head slowly, a small smile creeping on her face. When Aria said something about a goldgasm, her face turned pink, and she gave a “would you just hush” look, playfully, to her friend. Honestly, it hadn’t even occurred to her to take come of the money or jewelry. Lilith looked around the room as each person picked or pondered on what to take, perfectly content with her own choices. She heard Aria talk about jingling butts, but refused to laugh and promote her behaviour. She refused the chainmail when offered, having no real need for it herself, and once again ignoring Arias blunt comment about breasts. Self consciously she glanced down at her chest, pouting for a moment. She hadn’t quite considered herself “smaller endowed” before, but Aria kinda put her to shame. She made a face and let it go, not caring enough to actually care.

As everyone finished with their looting, an awful smell invaded Liliths nose, causing her to cringe and bring a hand up to her face. What is that? Her eyes were watering as she glanced around for answers. Soon enough something broke through the wall behind them, looking grotesque and maimed. Lilith wanted to gag, her facing bringing a slight green colour out on her cheeks. Arthur was telling them to hurry, that they were going to run, which she knew had to be their best bet seeing as Kail had forgotten his weapon. She glanced at him then, seeing a moment of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was debating abandoning them there. It seemed he was not going to, but Lilith was growing more wary with him over time; she would need to actually talk to him once all this is over.

Can we please get out of here? That smell is going to make me pass out! If someone were to run, she would follow without hesitation.

[Deleted]

Aria saw Nyx start putting things on the battle rod, her eyes widened ”Ooooooo that’s a good idea!” Aria allowed one of the weapons her own staff travel up her leg; and to the exposed skin on her neck; the long staff soon formed and slid into her hand. She immediately started stringing bracelets and such on to the staff. She looked up when Tres asked if she could have the sword; she had been planning on giving it away anyways so she nodded. She took the sword off her hip and handed it over; seeing how Tres seemed to like it and it was a waste to leave such a finely crafted weapon. So she went and picked up the weapon….she looked at it a bit. She had no clue how to use an axe…but it was a blade and she could swing it. That and she could always use it to chop wood. She hung it off her belt in the spot where she had previously placed the sword.

Arias nose twitched that a foul smell growing stronger ”Ew…something smells like Zeapons living room aaannnnd there it is” Aria watched as the wall crumbled to reveal the horrific demon…Aria tilted her head to look up at it calmly. Her ear twitching back as the others spoke about leaving; ”Fallow the dwarf…or blondie Seeing how Kail was already bolting. ”I’ll take the rear. Go.” Unlike the others she hadn’t drained herself; in fact she had mostly instructed most of this time. Her ears pricked forward. The ground began to shake as flames burst around her; a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. As the ground split in front of the beast; lava burst forth in a spew. Aria raised her hand and a wave of lava and flames fallowed forth cascading down on to the beast. The plus side to being underground in a land filled with hot springs was the magma that flowed beneath the earths surface was particularly close. It only took some effort to call it forth. Hopefully that gave them time to start running; as soon as the others ran Aria would turn and take off with them. Allowing the floor behind her to fall into pools of lava that were spewing forth.

[Nyx]

After walking back to everyone she realized that there was still some items that were not picked up doing the walk not only to go pick up the five ingots of Mythril silver but also to get used to the additional weight that she was now carrying. Once the silver was in her back she made her way back to the group getting used to the weight a little. Nyx looked up at Arthur wondering why they needed to hurry before she could ask the question it was answered by the foul-smelling creature that caused her stomach to turn almost making the small snack of bread and booze leave her body.



For once Nyx agreed with Arthur that in this fight or flight matter flight was going to be they, friend. Following Lilith and Kail running as best as she could while her body was still adjusting to all of the extra package weight slowing her down a bit at first until her body familiarized itself to its pounces.

[Trésor de Lys]

After all of the galavanting through the gold, everyone appeared to be satisfied in their journey. Tres ran her fingers through a mound of gold nearby, the cold of the coins feeling good to touch. She smiled at those who fonlded the treasure, and merrily adorned themselves in the gold accents.

Fading in gently, an odour crept into the room, and without notice Tres saw the massive decaying beast. She felt her body cringe and her mind scream "nope!". She heard Arthur exclaim to run, and she promptly did so.

Following behind the blonde Kail, and behind Nyx and Lilith, she ran in the direction of away.

[Deleted]

As Arthur was near the last person to leave the room had finally casted the spell he was chanting. "Oh heavenly all father I besich thee to stem its wrath, BLESSED BINDINGS" he called out and had gathered a orb of holy magic and threw it, with a very hefty throw. The orb went rather far and then exploded into several chains to hold down the beast. And working in tandem with Aria the undead beast took the full brunt of the attack. Although as the beast howled in the many voices that made up the beast. As it was being burned away from the magma while strugeling from the holy bindings that Arthur had casted. But it slowed it down as the black shards in its back glowed and its maw opened its maw and black flames where breathed out. It would miss both Arthur and Aria, the black flames burned and decayed anything it touched or around it. "Lass lets move it, those bindings will not last for too long" said Arthur as he ran out the door. The old man was running with all of his might as he caught up with the group.

"We need to head up those stairs for a bit and once we are up there, we take a right and keep going to the main gate. Then its a straight run to the entrance to the cave" he said to the group as they ran for there lives. The old man was getting a bit tired but they had to keep moving or they were going to become apart of the creature, if it could be called that.

[Deleted]

"WHERE IS THE HOLY HAND GRENADE OF ANTIOC. OR SOMETHING TO BLOW THE CRAP OUT OF THAT THING" Kail yelled as he ran like a mad man as this entire quest had been nuts. He just wanted something simple, perhaps this was something simple. But it had went utterly down hill as major trouble after major trouble. Perhaps this was an ill sign that he should not take jobs like these. Too many things had happend that were not in his favor this entire time. And it all started with Aria stabbing him in the back. Perhaps it was that action or omen that caused things to go down hill for him. He then heard Arthur about some stairs and the way out. That was music for his ears on getting out of there and hoped that nothing else would be a road block for them. Or he would just lose his shit and just say screw this shit and just do his own thing.

[Deleted]

Lilith watched in horror as the creature slimed its way through the wall and into the room, her nose burning as the stench continued to seep into the room. She kept her hand over her nose and mouth but it didn’t help at all, and she was beginning to taste the smell if that was possible. Lilith took off around the same time as Nyx and Tres, the three of them running together, but Lilith couldn’t take it, the smell was still too strong. She had to stop.

She stopped running for a moment and doubled over, hurling beside a rock or two, unable to keep the heaving at bay. She knew she needed to run, and she knew it even more when Arthur and Aria caught up to her, hearing Arthur say the bindings wouldn’t last for long. She was a little ways behind, but after a minute or so, she wiped her mouth and jogged to catch up, she heaving a little, but she was able to keep it under considerable control. Arthur seemed to have a plan, whereas Kail just yelled it seemed, and she didn’t catch a word he said over the sound of herself puking before, so she followed the diction of the group in silence, to embarrassed to really say anything at all.

When they may it to the stairs, Lilith would be relieved, as long as nothing was waiting for them there, and she really needed water. Looking into her bag as they ran, she rummaged around for something to help, but the only thing related to her problem was lunar drops, and she did not want to deal with that right now. Instead, she kept silent and tried to keep the rest of her lunch down.
