Fire Emblem On The Forums: Ashes (IC)

[Zetaark]

"Thank you my friend," Ecquis remarked before flying off. In his current state, staying around wouldn't end very well for him. Now that he was able to move about again, Ecquis decided to see if the two by the mountains would be willing to aid them.

"Well then, its great to see that you're alright Anna. It's been 3 years now since I've seen you, how have you been faring? Also, would you happen to have a spare vulnary or some such?" Ecquis asked, still visibly injured from his previous fights.

Moves to W18 and requests concoction from Anna

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

"Do I know you?..." She pauses for a second inching her face as close as she can to Ecquis'. She then gives a heavy sigh (the type of sigh after putting up with the same thing all her life.) "Dear, I think you have me mistaken with someone else. My name is Anna Marie, but you can just call me Anna. I have two twin sisters that look exactly like me; Anna Clara and Anna Beatrice. I know, my mother Anna Loo had a sense of humor but I guess it runs in the family."

"Oh, that would explain things then. My word, she wasn't kidding when she said they all looked exactly alike," Ecquis mused for a moment, realizing that this Anna is not the one he knew from Caelum. Still, they were related, so that was something.

"I should explain, I happen to be acquainted with your sister Anna Clara. I ran into her in the deserts of Caelum where she was stuck in the sands. I ended up helping her out there and we just became friends from there. She also took care of me while I was staying in Caelum. She mentioned that she had twin sisters, but I see now that the resemblance truly is uncanny," Ecquis finishes.

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

"Well if you spend enough time around us you'll discover that I am certainly the cutest." Anna winks at Ecquis and crosses her arms. "But if little Clara liked you, you must be a nice person. So what do you need honey. There are monsters everywhere and I've got merchandise to protect."

[Zetaark]

"Well, some of the others with me are in the process of dealing with these creatures. At the moment, one of them seems to have carried off one of the soldiers that was back up north. I'm not sure exactly what they are planning with him, but if my hunch is correct...its certainly not good," he explains. If Burt was here in an undead form, would they do the same to that soldier who fell? Ecquis wasn't willing to take the risk.

"Also, some healing equipment would be nice. I burned through most of mine dealing with those archers. And the pesky fighter back there. Do you happen to have any with you?" he decides to ask

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Anna raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "I have a concoction on me that I have been using but I don't run a donation service you know."

"Anna, the man is trying to save us give him the-"

"Sssssh Ian dear, I'm trying to do business! You run your shop however you want, but Anna Marie ALWAYS makes a profit." Anna turns back to Ecquis her eyes shining at the prospect of money. "Considering it's used, and my personal discount and you are a friend of the family and you're fairly handsome... And let's add in some situational discounts. That would put the price of it at about..." Anna counted her fingers doing fake math. "Let's say, 15 gold dragons?"

[Zetaark]

Ecquis had been around Anna Clara long enough to know that the family loves money quite a bit. He also knew that they loved to make up prices to get as much gold as they could. Additionally, Ecquis did not have that amount on him. At this point though, Ecquis noticed the other man with her. Perhaps he could circumvent this all together? One way to find out.

"Oh, are you a friend of Anna? Who might you be, and more importantly, do you happen to have some healing supplies on hand?" Ecquis asked the person who was apparently named Ian.

Edited September 26, 2016 by Zetaark

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

"My name is Ian, I am a traveling merchant like Anna. I would glad-"

"So you don't like my prices so you go running to the competition?" Anna steps in once again. "I'll lower it down to 10 gold. It's practically stealing! But better you steal from me than from a blind man."

[Zetaark]

"Well, who said it was stealing? I feel that my services in helping you out would be worth something. I did go out of my way to make sure those archers wouldn't stick around you for too long. Nearly cost me, but I've had worse run-ins. Also, your prices sound good for a brand new concoction...provided it was new. Which it isn't. But that's neither here or there." Ecquis told the pair. He knew Anna would do quite a bit to make a sale, though if he could Ecquis would rather save some money for other things.

"So then Ian,you're blind? That may explain why Anna is here with you. But since you two are together, I'll leave the decision to you. Do you feel that my aid is worth that of a concoction?" he persuaded Ian.

Edited September 26, 2016 by Zetaark

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

"5 GOLD. 5 GOLD DRAGONS AND IT'S YOURS." Anna said almost desperately. "Will you take it for 5 gold dragons? That's pocket change come on!"

[Zetaark]

"Well then, that sounds rather nice. Normally, I would probably just ask Ian for his but...since you are family of a friend and such and I know how much you all love making sales...I suppose I'll indulge you this one time," Ecquis remarks. Ecquis then looks over to Ian, knowing that he did have some extra concoctions based on how he was speaking.

"Perhaps the two of us can get acquainted after all of this is dealt with. That is of course provided that this concoction is indeed as advertised. You wouldn't do anything to a paying customer would you now?" Ecquis teases Anna.

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Anna frowns. "Now you're just being rude dear. I may be many things; a merchant, a liar, a gambler, a crook, and an amazingly beautiful lady. But I would NEVER lie to a customer. The Anna Marie quality will always be there. 110% guarantee or your money back!"

[Zetaark]

"I would certainly hope so, considering that the price otherwise is my life," Ecquis answered back. "Speaking of which, while I was coming over here, I noticed you handled yourself quite well in battle. I know that traveling merchants can often run into quite a bit of trouble on the road. Especially now that things like this can happen," Ecquis said, nodding over to the undead scattered across the field.

"With that said, allow me to make one more request. While I can't compare your beauty with your other sisters, I can say that you are a very strong woman. Someone like that would be nice to have around. Of course, we'll also make sure that you and Ian can get around without too much pestering. The rest of my group shall see to that. So what do you say, care to join us?" Ecquis asked the pair.

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

"I'm not sure... I'm loathe to leave poor Ian unprotected..."

"Don't worry about me Anna. I'll be fine; bring peace to these creatures. Go and save the day."

"Well if you are fine with it..." Anna crosses her arms and closes her eyes in thought. When she opens them she looks determined. "I guess life isn't all money and profits; sometimes we have to get our hands dirty. If it means future business with your lot I'll gladly rough up some monsters." Anna slung her hammer over one shoulder and outstretched her other hand. "5 gold pieces; my concoction and my services. I can promise you dear; I've made a lot of enemies in my day. And none of them have left without a mangled face and several broken bones. That is also part of the Anna Marie quality."

[Zetaark]

"Indeed it is," Ecquis laughed, handing Anna the 5 Dragons he had found previously. It was good that this whole deal worked out well. Now he wouldn't have to sit on the brink for too much longer.

"I personally am glad to welcome you, and I hope that we will do further business in the future."

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Anna took the money and counted it three times over. She shoved it into her pocket with a grin, and handed the concoction to Ecquis. "Here is your item good sir! High quality and spit free! I used it earlier so consider the indirect kiss free of charge." She looked back at Ian. "Are you sure you will be alright hon?" The merchant nodded. "Well; Anna Marie's Headbreaking Services are back in business."

Anna traded the concoction (1/3) for 5 Gold Pieces!

Anna has joined the party!

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Meredith was a bit angered that she missed, however the creature and her found an end to their little staring contest as it went to attack the monk. He really was cursed. There was no way it was possible otherwise. The beast lept past both her and Rosa to go from him. It was an insane move, one that could easily result in death. Though, perhaps it was due to whatever these things were not fearing death. After all, they already were dead once, what did they have to fear the inky black abyss? It was no longer unknown to them. The only reason anyone feared death, is they didn't know what came after.

"Rosa, we need to move. Come with me to the North. I'm sure our allies will catch up in due time. or now we need to keep the line moving! Also, take care of yourself and patch up some of those wounds." She immediately pivoted and shouted as loudly as humanly possible to make sure those to the south could hear her. "SAFFRON! I'LL BE IN NEED OF YOUR ASSISTANCE!!! GET WHOEVER YOU CAN OVER HERE I'LL PROVIDE SUPPORT ON YOUR ARRIVAL!"

Moves to J12.

[Zetaark]

Ecquis chuckled at Anna's remarks, taking the concoction that he had purchased. He then looked over to Ian.

"We'll be back as soon as we deal with this little infestation," he told him.

Uses Concoction.

[Code: PIRULUK]

"Ay, now that's a hot dance~ That last turn could be a little tighter though."

Serene called out her thanks to Luka as strength entered her body, vitalising it with the mystical power of the dance. She grinned as a sphere of flame appeared in her hands and traced a blazing trail through the air as she leapt up and did a triple axle jump turn.

"Something like this, hm? Burn!"

As she ended the turn, she released the flame, sending it soaring toward the other archer.

After dealing two swift blows to the lance user, Rosalvya retreated, only to find herself caught by the length of the lance. She grimaced, as the spear tore through flesh, leaving her wounded. Hoshiko dashed towards them, providing a little cover fire for her retreat. However, it wasn't enough to fell the soldier. Rosalvya felt that the next strike would be the determining blow, for the both of them. As she braced for the soldier to attack, it suddenly changed it's target, running off in the opposite direction instead. A little confused, but relieved that she didn't have to fight. Her wound had put her in a perilous situation, making it uncertain if she could dodge. The soldier charged towards Klaren, only to be reduced to ash by his magic. Rosalvya breathed a little sigh of relief, as she tried to catch her breath.

The fighting in the distances seem to have calmed down significantly, indicating that both sides had finished their battles. She trusted that her other allies had won their end of the fight, but she couldn't say the same for the soldiers who were holed up in the eastern village. At Meredith's suggestion, she gave a nod, heading towards her. She would only hope that those soldiers had found their way to safety. Taking the extra time of respite, Rosalvya applied the vulnerary to her wound.

Meredith saw in the distance a peculiar sight. One of the beasts seemed to have a body slung over it's shoulder and was carrying him away. She got an awful feeling about the meaning of this, but also, it might've meant there was still some hope for the poor sod. She had to assess the field, and she had to quickly. Fortunately Klaren's curse would pay off once more if he could find himself some source of healing. His curse would allow Rosa mostly clear passage if it worked once more. Except for one loose end.

"Rosa, I'm going to clear the path for you. You save that man. Only you can. No pressure.~" Meredith said, smiling at the young woman. She hated to throw this at her, but she was the only one who would've reached that beast carrying him in reasonable time. It was now or never, do or die. If they were going to save this one they had to pull the trigger now and not twiddle their thumbs idly. Meredith cracked her neck. It was time for action. She rushed forward towards the mage and pivoted roughly towards the shambling mess of a demon. She struck out with her lance hoping to land true and end it's unholy afterlife. "How's it hanging ugly?"
