Wes

"Watching on, with gasps and winces, the suffering of our Princess

Is not a sight I will enjoy, so I too will endure your toy

I'll place a bet of my own health, in lieu of any other wealth."

The looks on as the Princess and Wes move forward. Be careful. The word permanent troubles me


Tzarkori

The fighter stands rigid but his mind races as he tries to form a word phrase that rhymes. After several minutes he sighs and stops trying.

Return To The Island
From Verse To Worse
Late Afternoon/Early Evening


Giggyfez is nearly giddy by the time the three people willing to "pay" step forward. He starts making adjustments on his strange silver bowl hat device with the odd looking switches and dials, responding to Princess, Wes, and Holmfrid only.

"While it's good for me you are willing to pay, there's one important detail I best yet say."

"You will need to choose between either health or mind, a choice that is difficult, most people find."

"The blue sphere is the one you'll use first, so it's cost won't be the worst."

"If you prefer possession of all 4, the price will be much, much more."

"So, which one are you willing to give me, and will it be only one of you or all three?"


Actions?

To alleviate all the back and forth, it seems he is asking you to pay with either hit points or Int/Wis points. It sounds like you can split them up between more than one person though. :?

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 27/28 2/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)
Tlachtga (D5) AC:7 23/35 5/6 first 3/5 second 1/3 third (Light Stone)
Princess AC:6 HP 5/5
Elnaerel (C5) AC:3 37/37 2/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third
Waesfaren (D6) AC:7 39/53 5/6 first 2/5 second 1/3 third 0/1 fourth FF:18
Holmfrid (F4) AC:3 46/46
Tzarkori (F4) AC:0 33/33

I will step forth as well. We want all four sphere right? He looks to the rest of the group for guidance on the matter.

Purchasing all four now has it's pro's and con's.

Pro: they are right here now. If we don't take them now, who knows when we'll see them again?

Con: we are paying a heavy cost up front for orbs we probably won't be using for years of real-life time. We have to survive the Library, then obelisks 11 and 1 before we would get to use the last two orbs at location 3. (This "Slaying Dragon Slayers" quest began on March 1st 2024, as an example)

Wes

"Giggyfez, as you see we're very eager,
To purchase orbs of mighty dweomer.

Yet at this time we needs must enconsce
but two
In yonder library.
So must we purchase four at once
from you,
in all your finery?

Or may we meet in future times
to continue with our rhymes?
And then purchase, for your fee
the orbs we'll need for number 3?"

The Princess

She nods at Wes. "Only two. The new ones."

"This is a foolish choice I've agreed to twice, so it is fitting that my head pays the price."

To avoid dragging this out with further (terrible :D ) poetry, Wes will put his hit points on the line.

Agreed! :lol:

In a nutshell, the price for the next two Activation Spheres (Blue and Yellow) will be 11 Points.

That 11 points can be deducted from either Hit Points, Intelligence, or Wisdom, and they can be split up between more than one buyer.

I will let you discuss if you agree to these terms and if so, who will donate.

Wes will donate 3 hit points

If someone else donates 3 points, that will leave five people to donate 1 point each.

Or if two people donate 2 each, it will leave four people to donate 1 each.

Holmfrid will donate 1 point of INT - since she obviously does not have it to agree to this plan. :lol:

Thanks for stepping up! I feel like a loss of 1 HP is less impactful than a loss of an attribute, even for The Princess, so that's what she'll do.

The Princess will sell 1 hp.
