Sunhammer reparation (anthro, NSFW)

OOC: a slight mixup from the familiar (or not) Sunhammer franchise, in that the scope is a bit more limited, no armies behind you here, only legions against you. (chaos is also not as widespread here.
 
the imperium had stood for equinity, but as Empire’s do, eventually one of the heirs was more concerned with his own desires, and so came the fall. the capital itself had been struck from the map, infested with all manner of horrors, horrors that flooded the land surrounding it. horrors that even convinced the other species to join up to contain them, successfully.
 
now as the land has calmed, only the province Imperia remains to dangerous to even think about entering, which is a problem, as deep within the mountain of the capital, rests the worldstone, an artifact of such immense might it may be the one thing to truly banish the foulness that had taken root.
 
the young emperor, grandson of the madman and heir to Imperia, now needed those unafraid to enter that province, that city, those caverns. they had to find the stone and retake it. let them gorge themselves on the comforts the town offered, let them take their cut from the rest of the treasury, let them die in droves. that stone MUST be secured.
 
(to some it may ring familiar, yes, this is a Sunhammer (warhammer medieval ponified) themed darkest dungeon, you may wanna not get too attached to your adventurer characters here.)

(How bold of you to assume a lack of sanity is something to be feared.)
 
 
Don’t worry, someone’s gotta keep them supplied for their trips into the Darkest Fungeon Province. ;D

Name: Grimm  
Age: 163  
Gender: Female  
Race: Dracony  
Appearance: 9’7 tall and 16’10 long, she has a strike that can basically throw a car onto its side, picture
 
info: Her muscle is extremely developed and she is built like a mountain, she can do things almost nothing but dragons can. her bite is equivelient of a 4 ton weight.

(With few joining, at least at the moment, I’m going to make a one-stop-shop kind of lad in hopes of at least gracing a dozen or so pages with him. By then, hopefully others will have joined, and it’ll be easier playing someone that isn’t meant to be a monster hunter. This thing isn’t meant to be OP- it’s meant to be “ready for the challenges ahead”)
 
 
Name: Mayo  
Sex: Female  
Species: Bat unicorn  
Appearance: An off-white coat, dark blue for mane and tail, yellow eyes, racial traits lean much more towards bat pony but the small horn jutting out from her noggin is hard to ignore; granted, so is the armor that’s covering all this up.
 
_{(I started typing out a big long character sheet{irony, because I hate those} to describe her armor and even her equipment. If you really want this{it’s unfinished right now because I stopped when I saw how long it might end-up being but I can finish it if you want it} then PM me and I’ll make sure and finish it for you. I need to finish it anyways for storage >.>)}
 

 
Name: Queek Skittertail  
Species: Skaven  
Height: 160 cm  
Age: 30  
Fur color: “Light black”  
Notes: Very strong; strangely long tail; spooky lad with a twisted grin; ready to catch elf-thing; what more is there to tell(probably a lot but that might ought to be found out as we go)

“in time, you may come to understand the true extent of my failure,  
and in understanding, restore the name of our family…  
that’s how the letter ends, cryptic as i’ve ever heard.”  
the new “Emperor” was more than a little frustrated,  
not least because of the nine provinces that still exist,  
the centermost was overrun with looters, monsters,  
wild animals and similar things one does not desire to meet… ever.
 
the young Stallion sighed again as he looked over his interim capital,  
there were still loyal forces keeping Imperia surrounded and the horrors in,  
but he dared not risk another company on the blunt force approach, no the cleanup work,  
and more importantly, the retrieval of the worldstone, would be up to the adventurers.  
the money he offered them would be enough to pay off his own ransom to the dragons of all kingdoms…  
not that he really expected having to pay all of them, no,  
imperia would devour the majority, and the stone was worth it.
 
“well, time to meet those fearless and foolish enough.”

@Cerebrate19  
entering his court he found that a beast, unlike any other hed seen, had come to greet him. It walked with courage and determination, unyeilding in its ways. Its eyes were cold and dead, creating chills in those bold enough to peer into them

@Jinx  
he had heard of creatures like this, beasts and abominations they were called, but he found them to be, intriguing. now as he saw one up close, he understood the fears, but saw his intrigue validated.
 
“greetings.”

@Cerebrate19  
it had a voice like gravel, despite this though it was a female, and would be adressed as such
 
You have offered payment to retreive this “worldstone”. How much.

@Jinx  
“the treasury is in imperia as well, the emergency stockpile of my grandfather, blueheart the rich, turned blueheart the mad, untouched behind powerful magical seals, i will give you one of the keys, which will see your cave filled to the roof and spilling out of the mountain easily. it is difficult to number it with any precision, but you will not be wanting for money, if you can deliver.”
 
he had not flinched before her voice, she fascinated him more and more, rather than frighten.
 
“to enter imperia is to accept an early, gruesome death as likely, i would find no adventurers if i didn’t make the reward match the risk.”

@Cerebrate19  
And you assume i live in a cave?
 
she switched to speaking in draconic
 
{If i were not here for that money, you would be far from interested in me, young one}
 
it seemed his assumptions had agitated her, something nobody should be doing if they wished to keep their lives

@Jinx  
“a cave seems practical to me in any case, in fact i’d recommend getting one, they make excellent storage.”
 
{and you would not be the first dragon to think me helpless without my army, and it ended poorly for the last one.}

@Cerebrate19  
{Care to test that? I wouldnt mind having an early meal.}
 
if he was knowledgable about dragons he would know that she was testing him, something dragons did often to test ones worth

@Jinx  
{we appear to have some time yet, so gladly.}

@Cerebrate19  
the drake met this by standing its forelimbs up and roaring, a stance being taken, prepared for battle
 
{Your best then?}

@Jinx  
{since you ask.}
 
the next second something immense slapped her onto the ground, the emperor was a gravitationist.

@Cerebrate19  
@Jinx  
Another warrior stood by, watching silently.
 
 
(Sorry for my prior absence- I’ve been out all day. It’s been nice and tbh I’m not 100% sorry because I really needed it.)

@HatOfDisguise  
(no worries, had a day trip myself today.)

@Cerebrate19  
the drake got back up, all legs on the ground now
 
{I suppose you have my respect, for now young one. I may have enough muscle and size to kill you but im not dumb enough to be fighting something i cannot beat.}

@Jinx  
{then we are in agreement, mighty one.}
 
@HatOfDisguise  
seemingly finished with the dracony, he turned to the Baticorn.
 
“and you would be?”

@Cerebrate19  
{We are.}
 
a loud thump came next, a fist on the floor. A sign of mutual respect
 
next she turned to the baticorn as well

@Cerebrate19  
@Jinx  
Once the two are done, she replies, “I am Mayo.” She stood attentatively, her shoulders back, hands by her sides and armorless(for now) head up with eyes on the stallion.

Name: Aramid  
Gender: Male  
Age: Unknown, possibly mid-20’s  
Species: Pegasus  
Appearance: >>746468  
Backstory: Formerly paid by a group of itinerant mineworkers to serve as an overqualified bodyguard before signing onto the emperor’s quest. Unkeen to speak about his origins, but likely a wayfaring knight errant, looking to make ends meet; usually leaves it to his armored panoply to vouch for his set of trades and experience.

@Jinx
 
@HatOfDisguise  
“I’m guessing you are here for the same reason she is, the call of gold?”

@Kratek  
(welcome.)

@Cerebrate19  
(hai. _^:U)
 
@Cerebrate19 @HatOfDisguise @Jinx  
“We all have, sire.” Said by an armor-clad pegasus raised from nearby seating, with an intricate helmet nestled between his arm. “But about what we’re being sent to recover, this ‘worldstone’ of yours… is this something just one of us could carry out in a small satchel, or will we be needing the dragon here to haul it?”
