From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Dracos]

"That's normal," She remarked about the party in general with a straight face.

"In one perspective, yes." Leets nodded agreeably. "Saving the world is always left to the misfits. Otherwise the oppressors would crack down on them with legality."

[Olvelsper]

"Legalities, I can handle." Jan shook his head. "I wish I was fighting someone that used lawsuits instead of physical violence, though..."

He cleared his throat. "Let's go get the others. I want to get to the tower as soon as possible."

[Shukuen]

Leets rolled his eyes. "Of course you would. You're a louse, Mister Smith," he said sarcastically, before mock saluting. "Yes, sir. Will we be taking the car today?"

[Olvelsper]

"Many of my old girlfriends would be inclined to agree." Jan reasonably responded with a smile. "We won't be needing wheels where we're going..."

[Shukuen]

"...did a tower pop up somewhere nearby?" asked Leets curiously.

[Olvelsper]

"Viki here is able to use teleportation magic to take us to the Tower. We go there, use the starstone, then we come back to help out King Cecil." Jan gratefully nodded towards Viki. "She's a real sweetheart."

[Dracos]

Viki graced the flirt with a smile.  "Sure, I can take you guys there as long as you remember it firmly."

"Let's start getting ready then." Jan nodded decisively as he went out to begin fetching the others and getting freshened up for the trip.

[Shukuen]

"Ah, would you mind stalling on that?" Leets said suddenly, looking a bit shifty. "I... have a quick errand to finish first."

[Olvelsper]

"It'll take a while to get ready, so if you have to do something, go for it."

[Shukuen]

"Thanks. I'll meet you guys at the gate then." Leets waved as he headed off. "Oh, if I'm late, have Viki 'port me out of the dungeon," he called back as he left in search of the old preacher.

[Dracos]

Stepping out and returning to the scene of his crime, Leets found no sign of the strange addled old man, bereft of much of his holy tome.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

Leets hummed, unsurprised that the preacher wasn't here. Still, he couldn't let the man run around when he had the rest of the book... Sighing, he headed to the privacy of an alley before pulling out the Players' Guide. Bracing himself, he cautiously opened to the Index and searched for the NPC Preacher.

[Dracos]

His mind took in the information....unfortunately, it wasn't there to find as he dug through, finding it among the missing pages, A shiver as he closed it, the mortal world seeming small and confusing to his eyes.
