◣ Quest NPC Contact ◢

Below is a place to thread out quick little conversations with the NPCs that aren't worth an entire log. Vatheon's staple NPCs will have postings here, and all the other new quest NPCs will simply be listed under the "Quest NPCs" comment header. Please put in the subject line which quest you're talking with an NPC about!

[Does she have some earplugs? Please. The librarian walks over to a whole BOWL of earplugs and holds it out to Sola. Looks like everyone's wearing a pair!]

[replicatedcourage]

[Excellent! He takes a pair and pops them right in. With a wave to the librarian, up he goes to talk to the harpies! Just gonna go climb the walls now.

When he finally gets up there he doesn't take the sword from his back or look menacing in the slightest.]

Umm, excuse me, miss harpies?

[They can't hear him over the sound of their own squawking so he tries again.]

Excuse me!

[Not a one even bats and eyelash. Sola takes a deep breath, and...]

EXCUSE ME!!!

[Whoops, the sudden holler puts the harpies on the immediate defensive! The noise downstairs gets worse as the creatures shriek and flap their wings, scraping claws on roof tiles while Sola tries desperately to keep his footing and draw his weapons at the same time. Getting mauled by crazy bird ladies is not on his list of things to do today!

His feet pound across the roof, showering dust from the ceiling into the reference section as he tries to find a more defensible position between chimneys, dodging and slashing his way through the horde. The thumps of the scuffle increase exponentially for several minutes, even dislodging a ceiling tile or two below, before the noise suddenly tapers off, including the previously running footsteps.

Five minutes later Sola limps back into the library, chugging a health potion. His face is scratched and his armor dented in places, but mostly he's intact. Thank goodness he'd mowed down the weeds this morning and gotten an extra potion or he'd have been a goner.]

Sorry about the noise but they shouldn't bother you anymore.

[thalassino]

[That noise was AWFUL. The librarian sniffs indignantly.]

Yes, well, I should HOPE not after that racket. Good day, adventurer.
