RP Tavern Quest: The Catacombs

[Koali]

It's Zork, a text-based adventure game. I thought I'd do something silly in the new room, like showing Koali's internal struggle.

[ShadedExalt]

To dwarf fortress or not to dwarf fortress...

*Shaded peers around the room, noticing a desk, many bookshelves, and a few cabinets.*

"Dibs on first pick from the bookshelves."

[Carn]

(Ingur) "Ah ah ah, theres more than 1 book shelf you know." goes over to a bookshelf filled with think tomes

(Carn) "Well lookie here." grins "A safe! Give me a few minutes of quiet please." put ear against safe door and starts spinning the tumbler

[Koali]

*Remains perfectly silent.*

[Carn]

(Ingur) quietly peruses the bookshelf, looking for valuable and or informative books

(Carn) hears the first tumbler click and writes it down. 26

[Koali]

"Ah... Aaaaah... AAAAAAAA-"

No! No sneezing!

"WA-chrmpf! Man, it is DUSTY in here."

[Carn]

(Carn) glares at Koali, then proceeds to find the next tumbler. 3

[ShadedExalt]

"Yeah, but I mentioned shelves, plural.  Anyway, if you see anything that even resembles a blueprint, let me know, OK?"

*Shaded keeps flipping through the books, pulling out ones with valuable information plans.*

"I've already found instructions for making improved envelope material... Balloon envelopes."

[Koali]

*Puts up a brace.*

Boing!

"Why would you mail a balloon?"

"..."

"Yeah, no, I know what you meant, I was trying to be silly. Can I have a look at those blueprints?"

[Carn]

(Carn) somehow managing to hear the last tumbler over the conversation behind him. 3. *CLICK!* "Now then what do we have here?" looks at a worn notebook filled with hasty scribbles "......This is the formula, and here" picks up a piece of metal next to the notebook "Is a sample. Wait a minute..." takes out a leather envelope and takes out a small jewelers hammer, used to test a metals resonance. Striking the sample everyone hears a clear, low, note, that seems vaguely familiar. "It can't be...." then striking Bloodsong with it they hear the same note..... "It is........"

(Ingur) turning back with her arms full of books on higher sciences she says "Songsteel?"

[Koali]

*Pops up next to Carn.*

"Songsteel? Hmm... Carn, I could make you a skywhale call with some of that! A skywhale call doesn't just summon skywhales, it can be used as a weapon! It shatters solids and ruptures... bodies... Ew, that's actually gross... Yeah, don't point it at anyone."

[Carn]

(Carn) "Songsteel is the common name for it, the technical name is hemovibrium." looking at the cieling "HEAR THAT GRANDPA? I FOUND IT!" dust settles down "Alright then, my only interest now is in acquiring any of the equipment in here to make more. If Shaded can supply the ingredients, and Koali the space, the gentlemen we will have weapons and armor superior to any out there."

(Ingur) "While I am glad you figured it out, can you please not shout to the heavens while we are down here?" grabs a clockword trinket of the shelf along with several maps

[ShadedExalt]

"Yeah, after I use this copy paper..."

*Puts copy paper over the plans and makes a rough copy of them.*

"Here, Koali.  The drawing is a mite off, but the info is fine."

*Turns to Carn*

"Yup, I can supply smelters and stuff too."

[Carn]

(Carn) "Hemovibrium is an alloy, I know how to build a smelter. What I require will be the metals and other ingredients to make the metal. Along with the tools to shape it."

(Ingur) "Well shall we go to the last floor? There's probably equipment down there."

[Koali]

"Thanks."

*Analyzes the blueprint.*

"Well. This could come in handy."

*Opens mouth and extends a large file drawer and carefully inserts the blueprint.*

"Now, I bet if I ate some of that Songsteel I could acquire some of its properties. I guess that means we'd better start making some once we reach the surface."
