markorov's debriefing room

Markorov sits down at the table and waits patiently for Geoffrey.

Geoffrey opens the door and takes a seat
Hello again

Geoffrey takes a deep breath and crosses his arms as he leans back in his chair
Well after meeting my new companions: Frosty, Daria, Althea, and Mogar, we headed off to gather more information about Steve from Moe down at the tavern. We spoke to him and found that Steve had gone down into the sewers of Moetown. We also spoke briefly to a metal man at the bar that Frosty knew. The metal man...Glitch i think was his name... well he told us that he was in town to find his "creator". We weren't too sure what he was talking about at the time but....well I'll explain that later. So we went down into the sewers to try and find Steve. Soon after we delved into the sewers, we came across a few hostile rats. We defeated them easily. the sewers are a dangerous place! My comrades and I fell into the sewer water and caught filth fever! After roaming through the depths of Moetown, we came upon another ladder similar to the one we used to enter the sewers. We collectively decided to go up the ladder. As we surfaced from below, we found ourselves beside the Chicken Shack and met the Chicken Man. He is a very interesting individual! We purchased some items from him and Frosty seemed to get along with him quite well. We decided that It would be best to try going down a different manhole to try and since I was afflicted with a disease, I thought it best to head to the monastery and get cured and go down through the access point by the monastery. When we entered the Monastery, there was a lecture in session and we tried to get some help from someone in the building. Soon we met Farmer Dan who was very cranky. He went on about how some animals were destroying his crops. Then he and Frosty had a conversation which ended with him getting mad and smashing a vial of chicken urine on the floor. We then went off to meet with a fellow cleric to receive healing. Afterwards, we went back down into the sewer. It turns out that the trip to the cleric was all for naught, I soon fell back into the sewer water and caught filth fever once again. We pressed on and found a door. After breaking it down, we went into the room on the other side, but there was nothing there, although we spoke to a man on the other side before we knocked down the door. It was as though he vanished into thin-air! The room was empty save for a few hand tools and a round table in the middle of the room. We went on and soon found another door, only this time there was a man leaning against the door. As we looked down the path to the door, we saw another path heading in a different direction so some of us went to the door and the others headed off to the other path. I chose to see about the man leaning against the door. After checking his vitals, I determined that he had died though there were no signs of a struggle and no obvious wounds on him. He was sitting beside an empty mug. After inspecting it I could tell that it had been poisoned. We went in to the next room and discovered that others like the man outside had also died of poisoning. But the most important discovery of this room was a tunnel that had been dug out. Before we ventured in we had to regroup. after regrouping, I discovered that the other part of our group found another metal man who was also looking for his "creator". Though apart from this, we was of no help. We then went into the tunnel which ended in a huge chamber with large columns which extended to the ceiling that had ornate designs carved into them. There were also many glowing stones which interested me that were fixed on a pathway leading to a very large double door. As I went over to examine it, Daria became frightened about something and as soon as we went to her aid we all saw what she saw: a dragon! We then started to do battle with this beast and as soon as we did, small creatures appeared from the top of the columns to attack us as well. After striking the dragon a few times, we noticed that these creatures began to multiply if our arcane comrades cast spells near these columns! So we tried what we could avoid this from happening when all of the sudden, Frosty came up with a crazy idea: he would allow the things to attack him! It was quite risky but luckily for him, I was there to heal his wounds....between you and me, I'm pretty sure he would have died of recklessness if i were not there! Soon we managed to defeat the beast and the creatures. It seems that as soon as the battle was over some of us had the exact same idea: to take out the dragons heart! It's no secret that dragon hearts are very valuable and useful: it can be used in potions, enchantments, not to mention some people believe that it is an important component in rituals that are rumored to produce immortality. But as soon as we cut him open, we found a square shaped metallic object in it's place. Mogar took it just in case we needed it and we continued our quest by going into the next room. The large double doors were open a bit and we went in. The first thing we saw was Steve! I revived him and we quickly asked questions. He said that he had barely escaped the dragon and ran in here for safty. but as we continued asking questions: we realized we were surrounded by a bunch of those metal men with one large ominous metal man in the center of the room who had a big hole in his chest. By deductive reasoning, we decided to try and place the cube we found in the dragon into this metal man. Soon, the metal man came to life! He told us that long ago he created these metal men himself but became fearful of some evil "darkness" which began taking over the minds and souls of the land. So for fear that he would be corrupted as well, he shut himself off. With this explanation, and Steve under our protection, we made our way back up to the surface. And now here I am reporting to you on our quest!

Oh my that is a very interesting story indeed. Here is your portion of the quest gold. He tosses Geoffrey a pouch of 20 platinum coins. If you see any of your comrades send them to Greta to pick up their portion as well. Now where did Primary say he was going because I would be very interested in meeting him, and discussing a few things?

Geoffrey's eyes become enlarged as he picks up the coin purse. He's been used to doing much of his work for charity and the greater good. This is the most money he's ever seen.
Wow! thank you very much! As for Primary, I'm not sure as to what his current whereabouts are but I imagine he may still be down in the sewers now. Is there anything else that you need to know?

Thank you very much.
Geoffrey stands up and leaves the room

Markorov is seated in a wingback chair next to a small table with another wingback chair forming a 150 degree angle. He awaits patiently for his next appointment.

Vincent walks in with his hood over his head. He takes a seat, leans back and puts his feet up on the desk.
so, how's this work then chief?

Well this works quite simply, we give you a quest possibly guild mates to work with, and you do it.  But most of the time the mission parameters aren't so ridged that you can't do things your way.  However, mission complete is different from mission accomplished, and we reward our members handsomely especially if they return with all assets accounted for, like for instance guild mates.  That won't be a problem will it sir?  I am sorry but would you mind removing your hood for me and I will pour you a drink and we shall discuss your mission?  Markorov stands and walks to his desk where he picks up some papers to go over.

Vincent smirks a bit
Once or twice... I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's how we get to this village?

Zegi huh. Okay, sounds like I'm on my way then! Don't miss me too much, and don't skimp on the reward either! See ya!
With that, he stands up and walks out the door.

(Woot woot. time to quest!)
