Ask Mordred what he wants. Assuming he isn't particularly interested in continuing to fight the mercs, say the below. If he is, say the opposite, I guess.
Mordred visibly relaxes, returning his jeweled dagger to its hiding place "I, for one, am ready to be done with this mission. We've already taken remarkable losses, considering the relative lack of direct engagement, and I don't feel like risking myself against more mercs--at least, not for a bunch of idiotic greenskins."
Mordred thirsts for power, but he is disappointed in the possibility of accumulating power form the mercs, so go he will.
"Query: A much better response than what?
Suggestion: You really might want to start off with revealing that brand in the future, to avoid misunderstandings.
Statement: This one believes we are ready to leave. If the legion wishes us to defeat all of the mercs and protect the surrounding communities, they should have issued a mission stating thus.
statement: This one has brought this creature of vines here. It wishes to find its place in the world, and this one has offered it recruitement in the Omega Legion. This one hopes that it will make a fine legionnaire."
Say above to the shadowy figure, but otherwise I'm ready to go.
"A much better response than walking blindly into a possible trap."
"Misunderstandings are underrated. The ycan be quite entertaining. Quite entertaining indeed" he smiles darkly, showing pointed teeth. "and sometimes quite profitable."
"The Legion has stated it's wishes."
"Oh, a recruit? A voluntary recruit? Fascinating! Let's see what we have here." He then begins communicating with the vine creature. Your mannequin gibbers at first, dialing up into a whine, before cutting out in sudden silence.
"Very well, take this coin, and repeat the oath." The vine creature reaches out and lifts the coin from his hand, and a moment later, you all feel a slight tug at your brands.
"Well done. See the quartermasters when we return, Clunkers. You will receive a bonus for your recruitment."
"I left some equipment at our dropoff point, and would like to retrieve it before we go. I am fine with leaving it, if we are in a hurry."
Say above, be mostly ready to leave.
Let's just assume you brought it after picking up the vine guy, mkay?
You all are directed to head into the alley. Y oucross the open village center and head around the edge of a building into a dark, narrow passage between a couple buildings - a smithy and a stable, from the look and smell. You walk down the alley which seems longer than possible for such a small town, before the walls give way to rocks, and the air heats again. The familiar smell of desert, dust, rock and heat welcomes you home.
Post your level ups here (five points for skills, five for stats) and questions. Feel free to pm me with bonus recommendations too - toot your own horns as well as others for role play, for successes, etc. Pancaek, pm me regarding yourself, as I have something in mind, but it's early and I haven't been thinking perfectly. Syv, pm me regarding the knife and Mordred. We'll try to flesh this out a little so it works more smoothly, gameplay wise. Tel me your impressions and how you would like to proceed.
For any equipment related things, or to experiment with potions, etc, go to the Omega thread and find an npc.
