Unfortunately we are presently unable to actively help you. You'll have to be patient until we've finished the TIC war.Iysayana: You're having tics?Benoni: Hehe, good one. I'm talking about The Inimitable Combatants, a self-proclaimed hero guild who attacks our members and tells lies about us.Iysayana: Then just tell other lies about them.Benoni: Sure, we're already doing so. But the TIC go on anyway.Kalindra: And what are you going to do now?Benoni: Well, either they surrender or we'll destroy them. Or both. In any case, it won't take too long. Odilbert: And where's the point in this "war"? Why don't you just make peace and do the same things you did before, namely performing heroic deeds? Benoni: Oh, they did in fact offer us peace yesterday, but of course I refused. Their delegate's blood was just too delicious. Benoni: However, I just remembered that a message has arrived for you. Somebody claims to keep your king imprisoned at Castle Osprey. Viorel: Listen, we don't care about your war. We're trying to defeat some real villains and rescue a king! Benoni: I'm afraid you're on your own, then. Our own affairs have priority before we can see about other things, natch.Kalindra: Castle Osprey? Where is it?Benoni: Northeast of here. Some warrior has taken up residence there. She says she's already expecting you.Kalindra: Okay, then let's go.Benoni: Do you have any other urgent questions? Otherwise I'll go back to my berechner and take care of our netzplatz.Odilbert: What's up with it?Benoni: Those TIC nutters have actually managed to hack us. Now there's some goblin running around on the frontpage and pissing on the logos.Iysayana: Wuahahahaha! A pissing goblin! That's good!Benoni: I'm BenOni[(8=], President of the Mystic Skulls. You're the nameless hero squad seeking our assistance?Iysayana: Do you know that you look like a girl?Benoni: Yes, my fellow founder tells me all the time.Kalindra: Well, then have fun fortifying your security measures.Benoni: Security? I'll go to their netzplatz and put there an image of a hideous medusa, and write that's their leader's new girlfriend.Kalindra: Whatever. See you later, then.Benoni: And off...Benoni: Finally, what the hell took you so long? I want you to burnish everything, so buck up!Iysayana: What? We're not your cleaning crew!Benoni: You're not? Oh, it's you again. Of course you're not the cleaning crew, because those jerks are always at least two weeks late.Erzibeth: We need your help. A warlock discovered the Sword of Naayit. Benoni: Well, you're on your own with that. We're busy being at war with the TIC, like I said.!Iysayana: What, you're still not done yet?"Benoni: Of course, those guys are so crazy about their "heroic deeds" that they even use forbidden magic for them! Spells that all half-way reputable guilds have outlawed.#Iysayana: Since when do you know this?$Benoni: For two days. Anyway, we won't rest until we've collected an ear from each of their members!%Erzibeth: Don't forget that I rescued you from the Order of Vidalos. Without me, you would have fallen prey to their horrible experiments.&Benoni: Pshaw, I could've easily escaped those weirdos on my own. But fine, if you absolutely need reinforcement I might be able to dispatch one of our rangers.'Erzibeth: Thank you.(Benoni: )Arty: Yikes, how did I come here all of a sudden? Oh, hello Iysayana, I wish you a good day! Nice to meet you again!*Iysayana: No! Not him again, please! We already met him in Surpendor, he was totally getting on our tits!+Benoni: So it was you who rescued him? Alright, then he's yours now.,Arty: That's right! You saved my life, so I'm forever in your debt now.-Erzibeth: And you can help us overcome the Sword of Naayit?.Benoni: At least he'll make great cannon fodder. And stop bothering me with the stupid sword - its power is long gone./Benoni: So if you want to fight against that guy, do it right now and don't fall for some cheap tricks.0Viorel: He's right. If this sword is really just a delusion, then we better hurry up before Paulinus can do any more damage.1Erzibeth: I agree with that. Let's return to Ashford.2Benoni: Exactly. So, have fun. And off...3Erzibeth: Benoni, listen. Paulinus somehow managed to revive the Sword of Naayit and is going to destruct the world. You must help us stop him.4Benoni: I told you I'm too busy to mess around with any wannabe supervillains. If you fall for his threats, it's your problem.5Erzibeth: Listen, this is serious. Paulinus was sent by a superior being to destroy all mortals. And he did revive the Sword, I felt its power.6Erzibeth: We got the Sword of Frosta, but we need the help of nymphs, or someone else able to restore its power. So help us, please.7Benoni: Why should I do that?8Erzibeth: ... Do you want me to make public what happened between you and Vesuvia?9Benoni: What? You promised not to tell anybody!:Erzibeth: Yes, I did, but this is an emergency. Do you want those madmen to destroy the world? If not, then help us to prevent it!;Benoni: ... Well then. If it's really that serious... I think I can give you this.Benoni: You've been to the Sword Temple to get Frosta's sword? Did you notice a suspiciously looking angel statue in there??Kalindra: Natch. The temple was full of them.@Benoni: Look for a statue that looks like it was grinning very broadly. When you've found it, insert the card into its slit.AIysayana: Into the slit? Muahahahaha!BBenoni: You know exactly what I mean. Anyway, this way you'll get to some nymphs that can revive the sword for you.CErzibeth: Thank you.DBenoni: But look out. Ordinary mortals are not allowed to enter that place at all. If there's any trouble I'll say that you stole the card from me. And off...
