Armello: fate of Kings and Heroes [NSFW,violence]

@Cerebrate  
“Thought I was more of a tool. Huh. I don’t really know how to take that.” To be fair, talking with an entity of decay about special relationships is a bit of an odd conversation anyway, but hey, who else could say they’ve done it?

Oreo: “so you’re the only person in armello who knows the backstory of the shadowblade.”

@EclecticInspiration  
Worm: “what, you think i spend my centuries bestowing the power of decay and sleeping? incarnations have hobbies too, the wyld has gardening.”

@Cerebrate  
Maybe. I prefer to keep deeper secrets as they are.

@Cerebrate  
“Yeah, but anyone could see that a mile away- I thought yours would be…I don’t know, alcohol and cheese-making or something; those are both decay-related. I think. Yeah.” What in the Wyld, she actually makes a fair point…

@EclecticInspiration  
Worm: “look eternity is a long time, you mortals are fascinating.”
 
@Jinx  
Oreo: “hey, say the safeword if my curiosity could end with ym throat slit.”

@Cerebrate  
“Alright, alright. I bet you could’ve made a killer drink by now, though. Literally. I’m probably the worst to try and help relationship-wise, though. I think the only times I’ve managed to get others in bed was for stabbing- and I wasn’t the one being stabbed. Sorry to disappoint. Maybe some day, though.”

@EclecticInspiration  
Worm: “bah, i am not bound by any of that, and Oxana will be showing you some of my rot wine in time, especially if it comes to you having to fight someone agile that will in fact be handy.”

@Cerebrate  
In this case, its likely.

@Cerebrate  
“Wine? Alright, maybe some time. I’ve never heard of wine making anyone faster but I’m not one to shy from liquor when it’s offered by someone trustworthy.”

@EclecticInspiration  
Worm: “poison? a useful tool, except against our fellow “infected””
 
 
@Jinx  
“the safeword is butterknife.”

@Cerebrate  
“Gifted. I…didn’t expect poison to no longer be a problem for us, though. Now I just feel stupid- I’m still carrying anti-venom.”

@EclecticInspiration  
“it may be useful to keep agents on call that are not bothered by the wyld’s damnable defenses… or i can probably do some interesting things with it when combined with blood from a dark heart.”

@Cerebrate  
“Now you’ve just got me curious, but we should speak of that later.”

@Cerebrate  
Heh, ok.

@EclecticInspiration  
“yes, for now you should see about the king’s men in town.”
 
 
@Jinx  
some time later they had loaded up on a cart and were on their way.
 
Oreo: “so, are we gonna just ride up or will her goons surround us any second now?”

@Cerebrate  
Well, if the bandits following this cart are any hint, id say were surrounded.

@Cerebrate  
“They coming here? I guess I can afford the distraction on the way to the druids, and maybe you can tell me about any edge you can give me in a fight.”

@EclecticInspiration  
“against an uncorrupted being you may have to rely on your own skill, or on your immunities, if you have something that can fill a room with poisonous gas, your blood will be as liquid fire to them as well, but that would demand of you to bleed.”

@Jinx  
Oreo: “well, that’s my answer.”
 
Bandit: “if you remember how it goes please blindfold yourselves, no need to make a scene out of it, we’re grateful about sylas’ escape you helped.”

@Cerebrate  
“Sort of- I do have little smoke bombs I can lace with nasties that can range from clearing out a room to killing those that breathe it in. Maybe I could give that a go. I’d like to refrain from bleeding, though.” She’ll make her way to these kingsmen.

@EclecticInspiration  
an average patrol force, asking around for sightings of wyldstones and sightings of the rot.

@Cerebrate  
(How many? Rough estimate on numbers and armor)

@Cerebrate  
Thats fine. Just dont touch the weapons please.

@EclecticInspiration  
(a patrol squad are generally five men, used to be just three but they figured out how to coordinate 5 halberds.)
 
 
@Jinx  
“weren’t planning on it.”
 
in short order they were somewhere else.
 
Scarlet: “you can take them off now, sorry bout that but i know that there’s a price on my head and rat members love cashing in.”
