Fall of the Demon Queen

[16:18:01] ~RM: "On the last episode of 'How the Hell Did We Escape Jail-Time' our party narrowly avoided being arrested. By some miracle the police were thrown off by something. They are now free to do as they please without being fugitives! That is until Merril inevitably fucks that up for them again. We pick up at them recently exiting the police station in Annisse."
[16:19:12] ~Merril The Beast: (Truck you.)
[16:19:16] ~RM: (<3)
[16:19:24] ~Merril The Beast: Alright, guys, let's head on to that next city.
[16:19:34] @Ohm-Ari: Where would that be?
[16:19:53] ~Merril The Beast: Well, I believe Letha knows.
[16:20:11] Letha Garner: Yeah, just follow me!

[16:21:09] @Ohm-Ari: (Oh boy)
[16:21:16] ~Merril The Beast: What's up, man?
[16:21:32] ~RM: "Hey there travelers, I noticed you were about to leave!'"
[16:21:38] ~Merril The Beast: That we were.
[16:21:44] @Ohm-Ari: Indeed.
[16:22:18] ~RM: "'Well, it would be a cryin shame if you were to leave Annisse without a bottle 'a this!' the man pulls out a flashy bottle containing a familiar bright green fluid"
[16:22:33] Letha Garner: Oh man!
[16:22:35] ~Merril The Beast: Nope, we don't need any of that.
[16:22:36] Letha Garner: How much!
[16:22:36] ~Merril The Beast: None.
[16:22:39] ~Merril The Beast: None at all.
[16:22:41] ~Merril The Beast: She's a loon.
[16:22:43] Letha Garner: I won't drink any, I promise!
[16:22:44] ~Merril The Beast: I'm her keeper.
[16:22:48] ~RM: "'Only 7 coins m'am!'"
[16:22:57] ~Merril The Beast: Then why buy it?
[16:23:00] • Letha Garner flashes id and hands over coins.
[16:23:07] Letha Garner: Someday when I have a ship!
[16:23:17] ~Merril The Beast: You're going to sail drunk with it?
[16:23:22] Letha Garner: I swear on it, I will not drink a drop till then!
[16:23:34] ~RM: "'Pleasure doin business with ya!' the man pockets the cash and hands over the alcohol.'"
[16:23:36] @Ohm-Ari: (>.>)
[16:23:37] • ~Merril The Beast sighs
[16:23:39] ~Merril The Beast: Fine.
[16:23:49] ~Merril The Beast: I will beat you to death with the bottle if I find it empty.
[16:23:53] ~Merril The Beast: I swear to the Gods.
[16:24:01] • Letha Garner tenderly caresses the bottle and puts it into her inventory.

[17:15:43] ~Merril The Beast: And board it.
[17:15:52] @Ohm-Ari: And not get murdered or captured trying.
[17:15:55] ~Frost: (you guys could try to like, buy one. Legally)
[17:15:59] Letha Garner: Well, with the three of us we can't operate too large of one.

[17:16:06] @Ohm-Ari: (We have no where near enough ,money. Even with me)
[17:16:40] ~Merril The Beast: I guess we should go to the shipyard and see about renting a ship.

[17:19:18] • ~Merril The Beast (Truck this, I'm swiming)
[17:20:32] Letha Garner: Yes!
[17:20:35] @Ohm-Ari: Why not.
[17:22:04] ~Frost: "The party notices a sign that reads 'Open Temporary Purchases'"

[17:28:16] ~Frost: "She escorts them all outside. The first one she directs her attention to a very rundown looking vessel 'This is our cheapest model, the S.S. Freo. It's not a very popular ship. Only very eccentric or desperate people typically rent this one. People frequently report leaks and uncomfortable conditions. On the bright side it's only 50 gold per expected month of travel!'"
[17:29:45] ~Merril The Beast: Right, next.
[17:29:58] Letha Garner: Yeah, next.
[17:31:41] ~Frost: "Next she walks them over to a very luxurious and expensive looking ship painted with gold and red. 'This is one of our most popular models. It has a fully function Ignition engine, with the finest technology. However it is very expensive, at a rate of 500 gold per month.'"
[17:32:38] Letha Garner: What's it's name?
[17:33:55] ~Frost: "'This is the SS Roxel!'"
[17:34:10] Letha Garner: It's beautiful!
[17:34:21] ~Merril The Beast: Alright, what's the down payment on this thing?
[17:34:27] ~Merril The Beast: I mean, what's the structure of paying for this?
[17:35:38] ~Frost: "The down payment is the initial 500 gold coins, with an additional 50 gold coin security deposit that will be refunded if the ship is returned with no damage'"
[17:36:15] ~Merril The Beast: Can this be manned by just us or is there a crew involved?
[17:36:29] ~Frost: "'That is at your discretion.'"
[17:36:47] ~Merril The Beast: But could three people reasonable run it?
[17:38:14] ~Frost: "'Well it's outfitted with the finest technology and a powerful ignition engine. As long as basic maintenance is done and someone knows how to sail it, there should be no problems.'"
[17:38:52] ~Merril The Beast: Hey, Letha, you know how to sail a ship like this?
[17:38:54] ~Merril The Beast: Sober?

[17:49:33] ~Frost: "She directs them towards a sturdy but visually unappealing ship. It has a door that does nothing. "This is the SS Naruhina. It's reasonably priced, while practical. It is often used to transport decorative trees for the wealthy. It has a modest rate of 80 gold coins per month. Also sir, that is classified information. My apologies.'"

[19:42:50] @Ω Ari: Good we don't have to rely on my map-lexia.
[19:42:56] • @Ω Ari follows the group
[19:43:01] • ~Merril the Beast follows the group of people, dragging Letha by the back of her clothes
[19:43:06] • Letha Garner is dragged along
[19:43:20] • Letha Garner weeps a single tear for having to leave her ship
[19:43:22] ~RM: (so, which one of you wants to be a closet art fanboy/girl?)
[19:43:29] ~RM: (none or one?)
[19:43:43] ~RM: (answer please.)
[19:43:47] ~Merril the Beast: (I'll do it.)
[19:43:50] ~Merril the Beast: (I like art.)
[19:43:52] ~RM: (no one HAS to if you feel it's ooc)
[19:43:59] ~Merril the Beast: (I like to steal it.)
[19:44:09] ~RM: alright
[19:44:12] ~RM: ()
[19:44:26] ~RM: (alright, said the voice from nowhere)
[19:44:44] @Ω Ari: ("OH MY GODS WHAT WAS THAT VOICE")
[19:44:54] ~RM: "The party has a short uneventful trip to Moselle, the art capitol of the world."
[19:45:44] ~Merril the Beast: Okay, so I guess we go to your boss's house now, yeah?
[19:47:02] ~RM: "The group is escorted to a large Museum, and guided by their accompaniment to the section labeled "Lautrouse Tolec"
[19:47:29] ~Merril the Beast: Lautrouse Tolec?! His art speaks deep in my soul!
[19:47:38] ~Merril the Beast: And wallet
[19:47:41] ~RM: 'Monsieur Tolec asked us to have you wait here. Please enjoy his collections until he sends for you.'
[19:47:58] ~RM: (they know who you are)
[19:48:04] ~RM: (don't bother)
[19:48:22] ~Merril the Beast: Alright, this is going to be a suede day.
[19:48:25] Letha Garner: (Gnome, I almost made talked in my sollux voice when I was complaining outloud about a thing)
[19:48:31] Letha Garner: (I'm so stupid)
[19:48:39] • ~Merril the Beast browses arts and looks for lapses in security
[19:48:51] ~RM: 'Also Miss Merril, please do no steal. The museum has tight security and i would be problematic if you were caught.'
[19:48:58] ~RM: it*
[19:49:01] • Letha Garner looks around for anything depicting ships
[19:49:01] ~RM: (shat)
[19:49:19] • @Ω Ari looks for a place to sit and meditate
[19:49:31] • ~Merril the Beast blushes
[19:49:40] ~Merril the Beast: Who was going to steal? I wasn't going to steal.
[19:49:45] ~RM: "After some browsing, Letha happens upon a painting of....the exact same ship the party arrived on?"
[19:49:59] Letha Garner: OH MY!
[19:50:02] ~Merril the Beast: What is it?
[19:50:03] Letha Garner: THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
[19:50:08] Letha Garner: MY SHIP!
[19:50:12] Letha Garner: MY NEW SHIP!
[19:50:16] ~Merril the Beast: Wait, the NaruHina?
[19:50:23] ~Merril the Beast: Why does he have a painting of the NaruHina?
[19:50:27] Letha Garner: IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
[19:50:28] ~RM: "Who knows?"
[19:50:44] ~Merril the Beast: Yeah, beautiful. Not creepy at all.
[19:51:23] Letha Garner: It's wonderful! Look at the detailing! I would really enjoy meeting the artist!
[19:51:30] ~Merril the Beast: We're going to meet the artist.
[19:51:34] ~Merril the Beast: That's why we're here.
[19:51:37] Letha Garner: Oh yeah, think they would paint me on there?
[19:51:43] @Ω Ari: I doubt it.
[19:51:48] Letha Garner: Damn.
[19:51:48] ~Merril the Beast: Sure, with a big captain's hat.
[19:51:55] Letha Garner: Yes!
[19:52:12] • ~Merril the Beast looks around for other "odd" paintings
[19:52:28] • @Ω Ari looks around for interesting paintings as well
[19:53:02] ~RM: "Ohm meditates next to quite an extravagant painting. It's of a beautiful detailed landscape, with meticulous attention being paid attention to even the smallest features. It depicts a waterfall scene full of foliage and flowers. At the center, there's a woman. She's almost insignificant in comparison to the rest of the painting, yet for some reason she's in the exact middle of it. Her face seems to be covered by a book, but if you look close you can see she has long black hair, and is wearing elegant clothing characteristic of the wealthy."
[19:53:06] • Letha Garner stays in front of this painting with awe
[19:53:51] Letha Garner: (HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)
[19:54:02] Letha Garner: (WHO COULD THIS BE)
[19:54:04] ~Merril the Beast: Huh. Ω, that's... quite a painting, isn't it?
[19:54:07] @Ω Ari: ( I WONDER)
[19:54:11] Letha Garner: (I CERTAINLY HAVE NO CLUE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA)
[19:54:22] @Ω Ari: Quite extravagant.
[19:54:29] ~RM: "Look at more plot relevant paintings?"
[19:54:36] • ~Merril the Beast browses further
[19:54:38] @Ω Ari: It looks quite realistic
[19:54:48] @Ω Ari: (Just summon the freakign artist already)
[19:55:09] ~Merril the Beast: (brb)
[19:55:49] • @Ω Ari looks at more arts mildly impatiently
[19:56:32] ~RM: "Merril wanders around, and stops in front of a quite peculiar painting. It shows two hands cradling what appears to be a dark heart shaped object. You can only see the hands and torso of the person holding it, but based on the form one would guess that it's a woman. She's dressed in all white, almost ceremonial looking clothing."
[19:57:08] @Ω Ari: (HUH. LOOK AT THAT. I WONDER WHAT IT POSSIBVLY COULD BE.)
[19:57:11] ~Merril the Beast: Huh. There's a woman holding a black hearts here. I... This just strikes me for some reason.
[19:57:15] ~Merril the Beast: *black heart
[19:57:19] ~Merril the Beast: **BLACK HEART
[19:57:26] Letha Garner: Ah man, this ship is just amazing! I could stare at it for hours!
[19:57:44] • Letha Garner gushes
[19:57:46] ~Merril the Beast: That's nice, sweetie.
[19:57:50] Letha Garner: (NON SEXUALLY)
[19:57:55] Letha Garner: (LIKE, EMOTIONS)
[19:58:09] ~RM: "Clean up on aisle lotrec"
[19:58:21] ~RM: "Tolec*"
[19:58:24] ~RM: (fak)
[19:59:01] ~Merril the Beast: (Liquid emotions flow from Letha)
[19:59:11] • ~Merril the Beast continues browsing around
[19:59:26] ~RM: ""Excuse me' a woman calls out to the party 'Monsieur Tolec will see all of you now. Please follow me to his villa'"
[19:59:51] ~Merril the Beast: Alright, you guys ready to part with this art?
[19:59:58] Letha Garner: No.
[20:00:05] ~Merril the Beast: You mean yes.
[20:00:07] Letha Garner: No.
[20:00:08] • ~Merril the Beast drags along

[20:01:50] ~RM: 'Miss Merril, please be on your best behavor...'
[20:01:59] ~RM: also behavior*
[20:02:14] ~Merril the Beast: I'll be the best little kitty I've ever been, I purromise.
[20:02:17] • Letha Garner looks around for anything skip related as she is dragged
[20:02:33] ~RM: "Letha finds some skippy peanut butter"
[20:02:54] • @Ω Ari looks around for anything Gnome related as he follows
[20:03:15] ~RM: "Ohm finds nothing because why would any rich person have something so terrible?"
[20:04:00] @Ω Ari: (Oh, how little the omnipotent RM knows)
[20:04:03] ~RM: "The servants guide them through an elaborate fountain laden court yard into a well decorated foyer. A middle aged reasonably attractive man is waiting for them there"
[20:04:59] ~RM: "'Welcome, my most honored guests! I would like to thank you for coming all this way. I do hope that the trip was not too much of an inconvenience to you all' he says with a thick accent'"
[20:05:24] ~RM: (he gets around)
[20:05:39] ~Merril the Beast: Oh, it wasn't a big deal. So, what's the business you had with us that was worth the pay day?
[20:05:42] ~RM: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RRGInmOhTQ )
[20:06:23] ~RM: "He dismisses his servants. 'Please, follow me.' He leads them through his fancy mansion"

[20:06:40] • @Ω Ari follows
[20:06:42] • Letha Garner is dragged?

[20:08:20] ~RM: (fml)
[20:08:27] ~RM: (i just cannot type today)
[20:09:10] ~RM: "Letha trips and spills peanut butter all of letha. Then some german shepherds shred her to bits."
[20:09:14] ~RM: over*

[20:10:15] ~RM: (no.)
[20:10:23] ~RM: (someone say stuff)
[20:10:31] ~Merril the Beast: So, nice pair of locked doors.
[20:10:55] • Letha Garner pouts
[20:11:43] ~RM: "Ignoring miss smartass, Tolec pulls out a key and unlocks and opens the doors. he gestures for the party to go in before him'"
[20:12:09] • ~Merril the Beast goes in before him, dragging Letha
[20:12:20] • @Ω Ari follows Letha and Merril

[23:04:18] ~RM: "Last time on "The Price is Right" there was a door! Should our brave heroes see what's behind it?"
[23:04:53] ~Merrill the Beast: (Just have the motherfucker open the door before I steal everything and leave.)
[23:05:04] ~RM: (you would regret it XD)
[23:05:08] ~Merrill the Beast: (Probably.)
[23:05:20] @Letha Garner: (i regret how long this is taking)
[23:05:21] • @Ω Ari (looks at his map just to make sure he's still dyslexic)
[23:05:33] ~RM: (alright. This is gonna be a loooot of exposition. So bear with me.)
[23:05:38] ~RM: (also fak u shea)
[23:05:52] ~Merrill the Beast: (Ω's map is apparently in Latin. Or upside down.)
[23:06:03] • ~Merrill the Beast (bears with frost)
[23:06:08] @Ω Ari: (Or both)
[23:06:08] @Letha Garner: (fuk uuuuuuuu)
[23:06:42] ~RM: "Monsieur Tolec unlocks the door and holds it open, gesturing for the party to step in before him."
[23:06:55] • ~Merrill the Beast struts that Nas in
[23:07:11] • @Letha Garner is presumably dragged in by Merril
[23:07:18] • @Ω Ari follows
[23:07:34] ~Merrill the Beast: (Ω may be dumb, but at least he walks by himself.)
[23:08:54] @Letha Garner: (PSA: Gamzee is hot)
[23:10:46] ~RM: "The party is greeted by a well, interesting sight. This is Monsieur Tolec's studio, where he does most of his work. However, right now it is filled with seemingly finished paintings. More interestingly, some of which picture our not so brave "heroes" in varying scenarios. There's pictures of each of them, their ship, and more pictures of the faceless women from the gallery. Only this time one of them actually has a face! Though at this distance the party cannot quite see what it looks like. What the Truck is going on here, heroes?!"
[23:11:35] ~RM: "Oh, there's also one or two pictures of someone they don't recognize at all because invalid didn't give me his character description yet"
[23:12:32] ~Merrill the Beast: Alright, I'm caught between flattered and disturbed.
[23:12:38] ~Merrill the Beast: Talk quickly, Tolec.
[23:12:44] @Letha Garner: Oh hey, me!
[23:13:07] @Ω Ari: Such accurate pictures. My map is even upside down in this one!
[23:13:09] ~Merrill the Beast: Good job, honey. Now be quiet and look at the ships.
[23:13:14] ~RM: "He steps in, promptly shutting and locking the door behind him. His eyes are suddenly very desperate and pleading"
[23:13:42] ~RM: P-please! All of you must listen to me. We do not have much tme
[23:13:56] ~Merrill the Beast: I'm listening.
[23:14:13] • @Letha Garner looking at the ships
[23:14:15] @Ω Ari: Go on
[23:14:42] ~RM: I-I don't know what it is, or why, but these visions. They haunt me. Of all of you. Of her and I-I don't know what any of it means.
[23:15:08] @Ω Ari: Of who?
[23:15:15] ~Merrill the Beast: Let him talk.
[23:15:21] ~Merrill the Beast: There will be time for questions when he's done.
[23:15:22] ~RM: And I knew the laws. I knew what it meant. But I tried not to pay it any mind. But it never stopped. And soon it possesed me. It found its way into my work. And the guards, they started getting suspicious.
[23:16:19] ~RM: But I couldn't stop. It wouldn't leave my mind. So I had to start hiding them. But soon, I saw my own death, and I knew that I had to do something
[23:16:43] ~RM: They are going to come for me. I am going to be arrested any day now
[23:17:29] ~RM: I-I knew you would be coming here....so I sent for you.
[23:17:31] @Letha Garner: Oh, maybe you should not be uh... here then?
[23:17:53] ~RM: It is no use. A man like me cannot outrun the law.
[23:17:57] ~Merrill the Beast: Alright, what do we do?
[23:18:14] ~RM: I...I know who all of you are. But....
[23:19:08] ~RM: "He gestures to an altered, or rather, original version of the "landscape" painting from his gallery, one that features the mystery woman more centrally"
[23:19:48] ~RM: Who is she?!
[23:19:59] ~RM: Do any of you know? Please, you have to tell me.
[23:20:07] ~Merrill the Beast: No, I've not seen her.
[23:20:08] @Letha Garner: Looks like a babe.
[23:20:15] ~RM: (she you dumb Butch from Team Rocket XD)
[23:20:15] • ~Merrill the Beast glares
[23:20:16] @Ω Ari: Nope.

[23:20:26] @Letha Garner: fuk u forst)
[23:20:27] ~Merrill the Beast: Go look at ships, Letha.

[23:20:42] • @Letha Garner sulks off to the ships
[23:20:48] ~Merrill the Beast: (*()*)
[23:20:49] ~RM: I see....I didn't think so.
[23:20:59] @Letha Garner: (u fuckin dork)
[23:21:01] ~RM: Then, I have one thing to ask of you.
[23:21:18] ~Merrill the Beast: Ask away.
[23:21:41] @Ω Ari: Let's hear it.
[23:22:09] ~RM: "He takes the painting off an easel and hands it to Merrill"
[23:22:36] • ~Merrill the Beast (received "Plot at Sunset")
[23:23:05] ~RM: Find out who this is. Please, I am begging you. If you manage to do so before my death, write to me. Even if I am long dead, there is something...off about her.
[23:23:32] ~Merrill the Beast: And if we do, you'll pay off our ship?
[23:23:38] ~RM: This painting is what began the guard's initial suspicion. I was forced to censor it under penalty of law.
[23:23:41] ~RM: Yes, of course!
[23:24:19] ~Merrill the Beast: Alright, you do that before you go, and we'll poke around for her.
[23:24:25] ~RM: However, you must never show this to anyone. Especially anyone affiliated with the law.
[23:24:38] ~RM: This painting is enough to cause my very death
[23:25:07] ~Merrill the Beast: Whoa, wait. We can't show it to anyone but we have to find her?
[23:25:33] ~RM: Yes...I know it is a lot to ask...but it is for your own safety, I assure you.
[23:25:58] ~Merrill the Beast: Alright. You got anything else to say?
[23:26:16] ~RM: ....That's it.
[23:26:26] ~Merrill the Beast: Anyone got questions?
[23:26:32] ~Merrill the Beast: Letha, you can say something stupid now.
[23:26:33] @Ω Ari: Niope.
[23:27:06] ~RM: Now please, hurry out. There's no telling when they're coming for me. My servants have already prepared the paper work for your ship, you need not do a thing about it.
[23:27:21] ~Merrill the Beast: Alright, peace.
[23:27:25] @Letha Garner: Bye!
[23:27:31] ~RM: (that's what you say to a dying rich guy XD)
[23:27:35] ~Merrill the Beast: We'll stay in touch if we can.
[23:27:37] ~RM: (you're all so nice!)
[23:27:41] @Ω Ari: Thanks for the help.
[23:27:41] @Letha Garner: See you again, hopefully!
[23:27:56] ~Merrill the Beast: (Was I supposed to fist bump him?)
[23:28:08] ~Merrill the Beast: (Secret handshake?)
[23:28:13] • ~Merrill the Beast leaves back to the gallery
[23:28:18] ~RM: "The party is all but thrown off the grounds before Merrill can be a dumb Nas and steal everything. What now?"
[23:28:30] ~RM: (you're back in town now.)
[23:28:31] @Ω Ari: (Sidequests)
[23:28:34] @Letha Garner: Back to the ship?

[23:30:41] @Ω Ari: (Shea, birch is a tree)
[23:30:47] @Ω Ari: (Beech is a fish pun)
[23:30:51] ~RM: "The party montages back to Port Lyon without incident because Frost is too lazy to do random encounters right now"
[23:30:51] @Letha Garner: (beech is also a tree numbnuts)

[23:32:37] @Letha Garner: What are we doing again? Finding someone?
[23:32:38] ~RM: "You best be doing this you sick sick bastards! Alo what are you going to do with your illegal art?"
[23:32:48] ~RM: also*
[23:32:54] ~Merrill the Beast: Yes, we're finding the girl in this painting.
[23:33:07] @Letha Garner: We can hang the painting belowdecks right?
[23:33:11] @Ω Ari: Where do we start looking?
[23:33:19] @Ω Ari: Do we have any leads?
[23:33:30] ~Merrill the Beast: Right, and as soon as we get acosted by guards, they can see the evil painting above the table.
[23:33:36] ~Merrill the Beast: Absolutely none.
[23:33:44] ~RM: "Why don't you try taking a look at it again since it's different from the first one slightly?"
[23:33:54] • @Ω Ari e xamines the painting
[23:34:01] • ~Merrill the Beast makes sure he doesn't Truck that up
[23:34:07] ~RM: "This painting appears to be upside down!"

[23:37:08] @Ω Ari: ((He typin'? Fo' realz?)
[23:37:49] ~Merrill the Beast: (Hardcore.)
[23:38:14] ~RM: "The painting appears to be similar to the one from Tolec's gallery. Only it's zoomed in much more on the woman in the picture. This time, instead of holding a book directly in front of her face like weirdo, she's reading it normally so her face can be seen. Her downcast eyes are an unnatural bright shade of violet, and she has long dark hair. She seems to be dressed is very expensive looking clothing, at odds with the background wilderness. A pendant can also be seen around her neck, with a purple glow that rivals the one in her eyes. What a pretty picture!"
[23:38:44] ~Merrill the Beast: Okay, I admit, she's a babe.
[23:38:46] @Letha Garner: Yep, she's a babe.
[23:38:47] ~Merrill the Beast: But this doesn't help.
[23:38:58] @Letha Garner: (omg both of us)
[23:39:07] ~RM: (you whores)
[23:39:21] @Letha Garner: (hey she's a confirmed lesban)
[23:39:23] ~Merrill the Beast: So, anyway, I had a kind of stupid plan.
[23:39:36] ~RM: (btw I just thought I'd remind all of you that you are racists who just met a psychic)
[23:39:44] @Letha Garner: (oh what when)

If I recall correctly, they used to make special magical items with it there. But that was centuries ago, as you surely know. Now however, the gem is illegal for distribution and use. To me this woman looks like some kind of magical crime lord. What with her fancy clothes and unlawful expensive accessory!
