Dagger Silent: Nalar

[Prince Toad]

Which wall? (north, south, east... or go back to the west where you came from)

(By the way, you search 5-ft. sections at a time. You'll be searching the 5 ft. nearest you.)

[[sage]]

im totally lost for some reason, could you explain the room some.

[Prince Toad]

Oh, sorry. No problem.

You're in a 20 ft. by 5 ft. east-west hall. You started at the west end and managed to make your way to the eastern end. You found a door and opened it, but it fell on you and there's nothing behind it since it's a fake door. Now you can search 5 ft. sections of wall. North, south, east, or west? (Though... not much point to west.)

(If that doesn't help, I'll try again.)

[[sage]]

Alright, i'll check the walls in 5ft sections at a time until i find a way to go north.

[Prince Toad]

You check for a long time, but you don't see anything on the northern walls. Do what? (You might have missed something, or you might not have.)

[[sage]]

Alright, i'll try the south wall this time. Maybe there's a way around.

[Prince Toad]

You find a secret door, which is locked. Do what?

[[sage]]

check for traps, then try and unlock it. Or if that fails, use Chaos melody to break it down.

[Prince Toad]

You don't see any traps. You try to pick the lock and fail. You then take your flute and play Chaos Melody for a bit. It breaks the door apart. A wiry man raises his eyebrows and looks at the destruction.

Man: Uh-- hi. I guess you've come for Nadista's antidote?
Nalar: Yeah, for silentfleece leaf.
Man: Sure thing, here.

He hands you a wooden vial with some liquid sloshing around inside.

Man: I'm Barik Silver-Tongue, pleased to meet you.
Nalar: I'm Nalar... can't really chat now.
Barik: Yes, I understand, on your way.

Go back to Nadista?

[[sage]]

yea

[Prince Toad]

You return to Nadista and hand her the vial. She opens it and swallows a bit, wiping her lips.

Nadista: Thanks. Settled. You live, you settle-- you die, you melt. Don't all settle. You did. Good. Look.

She unfolds a small piece of paper and shows it to you. It reads "The first snow falls." She quickly stuffs it back into her clothing.

Nadista: Go out. First room. Where you came in. Had your blindfold removed. Southern door. Say that. Let you in. Go.
Nalar: Thanks.

Mission complete!

+100 EXP. You leveled up. Choose another move for your Primary Focus, and split 250 between your stats, and 200 between HP and MP. (I'd put some in Agility, it's important and you don't have much... although it's up to you. Snowsong could make up for it.)

[[sage]]

I'll put 100 into force and 150 into agility, 200 into hp and my new skill will be

Snowy Dawn Melody: Using the powers of dawn magic and snowsong combined, this allows Nalar to create any sort of Illusion for a small mp price and then manifest it (optional) with it possible to be sensed by any of the 5 senses he wishes (each giving it a higher mp cost). He can control it as he wishes, even while invisible and it doesn't deactivate invisibility, unless his illusion attacks for him.

I'll go to the southern door and say the codewords.

[Prince Toad]

You follow her orders and go back to the first room you were in. You find the southern door and put the key in. As you open it, you find a dagger at your throat.

Voice: How's the weather outside?
Nalar: The first snow falls.
Voice: Alright, fine. Come in, First Snow.

Guild Promotion: First Snow. +50 EXP. Usually you get one new skill for each focus, but not for the first one. You also get a "rank gift," which you'll receive shortly, new shop items, better payoffs, and in four promotions you'll get Specializations.

The door is pushed open the rest of the way to reveal a tall, blonde woman. She leads you into a hall with several doors on each side. She opens the first one on the right and takes you in.

On one wall, there are several weapons: swords, daggers, darts, and crossbows. She crosses the room and sizes you up.

Woman: Hello. I'm Aesryl the Sharp. I make sure all our First Snows get some basic equipment. Think of it as your first rank gift. Here's 500 gold, and choose one of these weapons.

She indicates the iron swords, daggers, darts, and light crossbows on the shelves.

Aesryl: You can buy more at the shop, although you're a little limited due to your rank. What's it gonna be?

a) Sword
b) Dagger
c) Darts
d) Crossbow

Note that you can use pretty much any weapon, this isn't a permanent choice. Just a starter thing.

[[sage]]

I'll take the crossbow if its one that can be hidden easily. If not, i'll just take the sword.

[Prince Toad]

Yeah, it's fairly small. Normal light crossbow.

Aesryl: Crossbow, eh? Alright...

She takes a crossbow off the shelf with both hands and gives it to you, taking a bit to show you how to load, aim, and fire. She then gives you a small steel case, which she says contains 20 iron bolts.

Aesryl: Alright, now it's up to you what to do. You might want to do your blood note pretty quick, since we have so many. But no one's gonna hold it against you if you shop around a little, or check out the complex, or just hang out. Probably aren't too many of us around just now what with the big influx of blood notes... well. Nothing to be done about it... it's a living. Okay, good luck then. I've gotta go guard the door, on your way.

With that, she opens the door and leaves, taking her position at the door leading into the antechamber. You figure the rest of the complex is down the hall and start walking. You hear a small popping noise and glance around. You soon find one perfectly folded, perfectly white piece of paper in your hand. Unfolding it, you read in what appears to be blood: Fjurka. Do what?

a) Find out more about Fjurka
b) Look for a shop
c) Look for people to ask stuff
d) Check around the complex

[[sage]]

Shop first.

[Prince Toad]

Oh, go to sleep.
