"I agree. Telling the town is a bad idea, and any defense they can come up with will be nowhere near strong enough to fend her off. Not even the entire planet could fend her off."
*Pulse thinks for a bit more time.*
"The altar... Perhaps it could give more insight as to when she'll be coming. Where she'll appear. How she'll attack. My skills could come in quite handy here."

"Hah, your skills. My strength shall crush this demon woman you speak so much of. But do you even know where this altar or temple is?"

[Pyrif]

"While my skills would also be useful in battle, I was speaking of how I could possibly get information from the Psyche of the altar. I don't know where the altar is, I couldn't get that information from that pile of dust we used to call a necromancer. Not only that, but solid objects don't collide well with demons. Magic is needed. Perhaps we could find a way to equip Sylvana with magic, make her even more powerful by adding an aspect that can reach through other planes of existence and attack Libitina. Your strength can come in handy, but not without magic added into the mix."

"Meh. Ne's tired. can't we just... umm... like forget this stuff, and go home? Ne doesn't trust the words of mages, especially the kind like this necromancer. They mostly say stupid stuff because, well... because they just do."

"Nico, your mortal weapon will be useless against a demon, much less the Goddess of Death..."
*Looks to Sandwich*
"Well, you see the issue with that... We don't solve this, we don't come home alive..."
*Thinks for a moment and then looks to the group*
"I might have a way to find where the altar is... but it must be done by someone more powerful than I...
That, or we simply look for another necromancer and interrogate them... Which is safer than what I have in mind..."

"What do you happen to have in mind?"

[cptdeath58]

"I could talk the Archmage of my college who might be able to cast the spell... however... it opens a link between the Goddess and him... So he might
die after he gets the location or even before... So we shouldn't rely on this unless we absolutely need it... Right now, we should focus on catching a necromancer of the same deity and interrogate him."

[Pyrif]

"I agree. Let's try to keep as many people safe as we can. I might be able to find the altar a bit quicker. You see, I'm actually a Dimension Hopper, so I can warp time and space to get to places. That might aid in getting to the altar, as I can also take people with me."

[cptdeath58]

"I also have a spell for it... but that is not the question we are asking were we?"

Returning to the town, the streets are empty and the lights have darkened. Everyone but our group of adventurers is in bed blissfully unaware of recent events and impending doom.

The night is quite old now, and for some of you the events of today are taking their toll. Finding yourselves outside of the inn, the thought of sleep welcomes you.

[OOC] Inn prices are 1 silver per room, there is an honesty box on the counter. Info about money is here [/OOC]

[KnightMiner]

Matthias pulls out a single gold coin to pay the parties fare, taking his change in silver from the box.

[OOC]95 silver coins seems like a lot of change... It might be useful to have some sort of middle value for characters who carry mainly gold with them, like a large silver coin worth ten silver coins[/OOC]

Actually, if you go to Dungeons and Dragons, which this seems to be based off of, the currency was the same but with 1 extra coin(Platinum) There was no intermediate currency. Plus back then, there was no true way of telling a true coin from a fake one, so one size fits all.

"Well, its time to hit the deck."
*Pays his 1 silver coin*
"I'll see you guys in the morning."
*Heads off to sleep*

[OOC]Thank goodness there aren't verious denomiations for different countries as well. AFAIK from that era/tech level, everything depended on the mint it was produced from, so one mint's coins were often times larger/smaller than the other mints of other countries. Historically speaking, the coins themselves were often of varying weight, and the true value of the coins could only be verified by a local goldsmith. Most merchants would know that one countries' coins were generally of heavier weight, and would sometimes actually require that weight, and often times would reject yet another countries' coins due to their low weight. It wasn't until far later that standardized weights and measures for precious metal coins were implemented. For the most part, merchants would have to take their patrons' words for the value of their coins, though it wasn't uncommon for merchants to test the value of the coins by biting and bending the coins to test their purity based on the hardness/softness of the metal. Counterfeiting wasn't uncommon for tradesman of that day/age.

Wow, I could probably go on and on about coins, since I know a decent amount of them(I used to collect coins), though it'd probably just bore you guys.[/OOC]

[OOC] @KnightMiner, we may have to retcon how much money your character has. Even a small pouch of gold is a lot of money in this world.
Also I have added a field to the character sheet: (As with any updates to characters, PM me)

Motives

What drives your character, do they have a current long term goal? Are they following the will of their god or king? Are they currently looking for a motive (other than the motive of motive-hunting)?

[OOC] Just a thing to take note of when reading other peoples character sheets. Not everything is common knowledge in them. [/OOC]

The night passes uneventfully while our adventurers rest in the Elarshi Inn. The smell of breakfast wafts from the kitchen, a large variety of meals greet ones nose.

[KnightMiner]

Matthias wakes up a little late in the morning due to his late night. He chooses a table a bit out of the way to sit in to eat is breakfast.

[cptdeath58]

*Jacob wakes up and heads down to eat some breakfast*
As he passes by Matthias, he says, "Good Morning, Matthias. You are up a bit earlier than I."
*He then goes and sits at the table at eats*

[KnightMiner]

"I had some trouble sleeping, as I was pondering yesterdays events" replies Matthias. Then in a hushed tone he says "How do we even go about finding another necromancer?"
