Solo Game - Enlightenment

[Volthawk]

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Strongest stuff around here. The area around here is where most admantine is mined. The canyons to the east in particular have quite a lot of it. Thing is, it gets harder and harder to find nowadays, so any damage is harder to repair."

[Woodsman]

"Oh, it's adamantine?"

[Volthawk]

"Yeah. Makes this city pretty much impenetrable."

As you move into the city, you see that although most the buildings are made out of admantine, smaller things, like market stalls or the small towers that dot the city are not, instead made out of wood or other more conventional materials.

[Woodsman]

"Wow. That's inventive."

Eli walks on for a little longer in silence before asking, "So, when do we arrive to meet your bosses?"

[Volthawk]

"Well, no time. We're here."

The building he stops in front of is one of the less impressive ones, being a small one-floored building, compared to the large buildings around the area. It has no official markings of any kind on it.

[Woodsman]

Eli is intrigued, but says nothing.

[Volthawk]

He leads you inside, where you see nothing interesting, the place just appears to be a normal house. The captain motions for you to sit, and then walks into another room momentarily. When he returns, he says "Alright, the boss will be here in a bit. Want a drink?"

[Woodsman]

Eli waves his wand politely. "No, thank you."

[Volthawk]

((wand?))

The captain shrugs, and pours himself out a drink from a cupboard. He then slumps down on one of the chairs in the room.

"Hey, I never did get your name. Mine's Mickey. Yours?"

[Woodsman]

((Hand, haha. ))

"My name is Elizar, though I prefer to be called 'Eli.'"

[Volthawk]

"Alright, Eli. What brings you down these parts?"

[Woodsman]

"Nothing in particular, honestly. I'm sort of on a personal quest for enlightenment."

[Volthawk]

"Ah, a spiritual type, then? We don't get many of you around here."

[Woodsman]

"I'd imagine not. I'm curious, so I want to see a lot of things."

[Volthawk]

"Eh, alright. Anyway, boss-man should be here any minute now."

Sure enough, you hear a knock in the door moments later. Mickey opens it, and a man walks in. He is not wearing armour, instead wearing a duster over a vest. He appears unarmed, and as he walks in, you see that he is quite a big man, with an eyepatch and a rough beard. He speaks in a loud, booming voice ((think Brian Blessed))

"So who is this, MICKEY-BOY?"

[Woodsman]

"My name is Elizar, sir, though I prefer 'Eli,'" Eli introduces himself.

[Volthawk]

"Elizar? GOOD! So, Mickey, my lad, why did you call me here?"

You can see that Mickey seems a little nervous around this man.

"Well, David, Eli here dealt with our lizardfolk problem."

"CAPITAL! Tell me, laddie, what did you do with them? We've tried EVERYTHING! Fire, soldiers, natural disasters, the lot! And we've never managed to deal with them!"

[Woodsman]

"I'd rather not say, sir. It's between me and the lizardfolk."

[Volthawk]

"Really?"

His tone changes from his big booming one to a quieter hiss.

"Well, you really should tell me. I can't guarantee your safety otherwise."

[Woodsman]

"I made it out of there alive, didn't I?"

[Volthawk]

"Yeah, without a single scratch" Mickey says.

"Really. How did you manage that, then? And again, if you want to stay that way around here, you really should tell. There can be some trouble around here often, and my people can be a bit...zealous in quashing it."

[Woodsman]

Eli gives an annoyed glance to both. "I said earlier that I knew healing spells. Now," he says standing up, "If you're just going to interrogate me, I think I'd like to leave."

[Volthawk]

"Fine."

The pair walk away, but you notice that they are whispering to each other. You can't make out what is being said, however.

[Woodsman]

Eli decides it's time to leave. Any maybe warn the lizardfolk.

[Volthawk]

Nobody tries to stop you as you leave, and you can get out of the city without any harm.
