Wrong as in not correct. The base values they're added onto is 50, not 0. It doesn't matter.

Anthramarux couldn't stand being quiet. It was maddening! She leaned over to the bookish fellow, smiling.

"Well, How d'you do? What brings you on this trip, I wonder? My name is...Becky. Becky...Blackstone. Nice to meet to you, sir." She said, sticking out a friendly hand.

Action: Speak with the Robed Man
He looks at you, apathetically. You can see by his face that he's just barely leaving his 30s. "I'm returning home after checking on a guild-hub master, after we got various letters suspecting him conducting illegal experiments." He shakes your hand only a little. "Cornos Itari. Uhhhh, nice to see you Becky." He says, moving back into the position he was initially at when he first got on the coach.

Merysta looked for a safe place to touch down near the man, then hailed him whether or not she found one. "Hello! I'm looking for magical peoples! Where are they?" she asked, as politely as she could manage for her age.
You ask where magical peoples are. The man doesn't respond, then two more people jog over to him. They talk to another for a few seconds before a woman in the group of three responds.

"Perhaps you should check out the mage's guild in the city?" She offers.

"Could you please, uh, leave the bigger dragon outside?" The first man asks, pointing towards your mother.

To be fair, she's nearly as tall as the wall they're standing on...

Noraiah decided that silence shouldn't be broken, especially when she had the feeling that she took longer than usual.

That trip wasn't so bad, the humanoids were friendly...but no sign of that blue man.

Check on parents.
You go to your parents and check up on them.

[Agi:5]: Nothing to see here. Nope. Nope. Just ignore this roll.

You check up on your parents. They're still sleeping in roughly the same positions they were when you left.

The pain that shot through Upair's tail, and through his spine was intense. He could not help but scream and scream, roaring out with blind rage and fury as he trampled over the eggs and stomped on the carcase of the slain eagle, until the pain dulled to a hard, but bearable throb. Then the realization came to him. He made his first kill! Upair raised his tail, habitually, to slice off the head, when he remembered that, it was broken. Angry, but not willing to let it go, he ate the spill from the eggs and dragged the body with him, back home.
You have a merry tantrum on the corpse of the eagle and it's eggs and begin dragging the corpse all the way home.

[Str:1]: You fail to move the corpse even a millimeter after tugging at it for a minute or so.

Without hesitation Kin said: "All the important rules. Please."
He clears his throat. "Alright. First of all, this is a clean mercenary company. If you intentionally commit crimes or have committed crimes, you will be handed over to the authorities and your pay will be either kept from you or taken from you. The Golden Company only protects you if there's doubt on whether you knew what you were doing or whether the accusations were false or not."

"Next, contracts may choose to not pay you or pay you less at any time if they feel like you were inadequate or failed. Do not argue with them. Do not threaten them. Bring the issue up with a Golden Company official, we will sort this out better than most can on their own. Even if you are a Golden Company official yourself, this rule still applies."

"The Golden Company strictly forbids competition for the same contract within the company. All offenders will have their pay cut to a fifth."

"The Doge of Isrand is the ultimate authority on the Golden Company, even over the Guildmaster. In times of war, the Doge may decide to raise the Golden Company. You have five days to resign after the call. After the fifth, you are to be considered part of the Isrand army and cannot resign afterwards unless you have been out of contact. Once you are part of the army, you will follow their rules until the Doge decides to reform the army."

He then goes over an unknown number of additional rules, before concluding. ((This is basically my excuse should I chose to add rules after this: I can't think of everything in a short time, you know.))

"Do you accept the terms?"

Eridor paused to consider the gem. Perhaps if he knocked it off that stone platform, it'd quit shooting lightning and he'd be able to grab it? With that goal in mind, Eridor decided to Grab a bunch of small rocks from the nearest convenient source, and toss them towards the gem to knock it off the platform.
Yes, a couple of rocks might do it, you think, as you throw rocks at the gem.

Eventually, one hits. However, you hear a faint cracking sound when the rock hits. The lightning explodes for a second then stops. The gem then falls onto the floor. When you look at it, it appears shattered. You... might have made a mistake.

((The true solution was to push it off rather than knock it off. Preferably with something long that doesn't conduct electricity))

Cevitil strikes up a conversation with one of the men, asking about wizards and magic, lightning magic in particular.
You walk up to one of the men and randomly strike up a conversation about wizards and lightning magic.

He tells you about wizards and lightning magic, but the details go over your head.

Merysta gave a look that said 'are you dense? Are you retarded or something? That's the goddamn Batman my mother' to the guards. "No chance of... mages coming here to us?" she asked plaintively. If not, she was going to have to go in alone and find them... but she thought for sure that Mom would hang around outside the city waiting for her, and if anything happened she'd come looking for her. She looked at Gwairen for reassurance.

Eridor stared at the shattered gem for a moment in disappointment.

I guess whatever that was, it wasn't nearly as sturdy as a real gemstone would be. Hm... maybe one of my parents can make something out of the pieces?

Gather up the pieces (skip this step if it shattered into something like a hundred pieces instead of breaking into a few) go show/tell Mother what happened, ask her what the gem was and if there was any way to fix it.

((For the record, I didn't grab a tree branch or such to push it because I wasn't sure how far the lightning extended, and actually finding a suitable stick would be somewhat troublesome. Ah well, maybe next time.))

A whole day? Pretty tiring...Mustn't disturb them.

Check the current surroundings, then the nearby surroundings, then check for any large mushrooms within the cave!

The second man shouts back. "Well, I guess I can tell somebody that you're waiting outside if you want, but I wouldn't hold my breath on them coming out, especially for someone they don't know."

You look at mother for reassurance. Her stance is not easy to tell. It's some mix between... [Int:4] confidence and distrust?

You gather up what pieces you can and go show the gem to mother and tell her what happened. You ask her what the gem was, she says she doesn't really know. She guesses that it's something magical.

You ask her if you can fix the gem. She tells you that anything's possible, but fixing any gem is extremely difficult.

A whole day? Pretty tiring...Mustn't disturb them.

You check the current surroundings of your parent's sleeping lairs. There isn't much here. You check the nearby surroundings. [2] There's nothing much around. You go looking for large mushrooms. [3] You find pitiful small mushrooms after ten minutes of searching.

"Mom, you're gonna wait here for me, right?" Merysta asked... more for the guard's benefit than hers. Even at such a young age, she knew how to make a threat. After a few moments to gather her courage, she turned back to the trio of guards. "All right. I'll follow you on my own. Where's these mages at?" she said, looking around and sniffing as if she could ferret them out that way.

Bluh, too small for my likings...Mushrooms.

I wonder...if mushrooms could grow here, then there must be some source out there!


Try to listen for any sound of water or any echoing other deeper in the cave.

"...Yes I'll wait for you." Your mother responds.

You then ask the guards where the mages are and if they could lead you to them.

"Come, meet me at the gate." The second man says, walking into the wall tower then appearing out at the bottom after a couple seconds. You meet him at the gate, and follow him.

He leads you up stairs on the sides of each level of the city. It's surprising how many buildings are packed into such a small area. After reaching the seventh level he points to a large building that takes up a tenth of the seventh level. "That's the mages' guild. Unless they've all suddenly packed up and left without anyone noticing, they all should be there.

You notice someone staring at you with a weird expression to the left. "Oh, don't mind Tale, he had bad experiences with Drakes in the past."

Bluh, too small for my likings...Mushrooms.

I wonder...if mushrooms could grow here, then there must be some source out there!

You listen for water. [5] You didn't need to listen long: There's an inside waterfall just off to your right in another room. Huh.

Noraiah leapt up in glee, jumping off the rock wall as she heard the joyous sound of water. Oh, how Mother and Father would-

Oh right, they're asleep...Don't think I should wake them up, and they don't mind me going off again...

With a happy expression, she silently moved along the cave wall, trying to get nearer to the water source.

I never knew we had a lake.

Merysta craned her neck toward Tale to get a better look at him, then shrugged and headed toward the building. "Thanks," she said over her shoulder as she walked away. When she got to the door of the building, she knocked as well as she could while still holding the Thing. There it goes again! I hadn't thought about it in a while... almost forgot I had it. She sat on her haunches, tail swishing slightly, and waited for someone to open the door so she could shove the Thing in their face and ask them what it was.

Merysta knocks on the door of the Mage's Guild and accosts the person who opens it for answers about the Thing. All the information s/he can give.

Anthramarux made a bored sound. How could Humans just sit in silence like this!

She decided to talk to the woman in metal armor next.

"Hello. You probably remember me, Becky Blackstone. What brings you on this trip? You don't seem like a soldier from around here..." She said, smiling.

Kin felt overwhelmed by the amount of information that he had his attention slipping a few times, but he felt it being fair. "I accept the rules and I will make it happen."

Taking in the position of the sun Kin felt he knew which way was north. Preparing himself for a takeoff a fleeting thought crossed his mind: "I wonder what boars taste like?" before flying low to Girring.
