[Rama] Devil of Newtown

Some people whisper to one another when they heard you, some would take a step back after hearing your evil laugh, some just ignored it. You checked out the quest board, most of the 'posts' are about requests to hunt down a certain creature, others requests for collecting certain items from Bezelbebe. There are all sorts of other quests.

"There are no musicals but there's one here looking for performers for a nobleman's party if you're interested." A male human with dark green hair and grey eyes says as he point at a post on the Quest board. He seems unbothered about Rama's race.

"Excellent, much obliged, stranger. I am well versed in a number of dance styles." He looks at the man. "Green hair. What's up with that?" His devilishly handsome eyes twinkle with his joke.

He looks for the dancing gig, and how to apply.

The man shrugs when Rama asked him about his hair. He takes the post from the quest wall and gives it to Rama.

The post says that someone called Count Klaus Clauster is looking for performers to entertain his guests on a ball he will be hosting in 5 days. Not much detail is on the paper.

"If you're interested in that, you can hand that over there." Green haired man points at the three counters.
Aug 6, 2020 2:59 pm
"You are a raja. My thanks."

He turns the paper into the next open counter.

"I haven't seen you before." Says the man wearing glasses behind the center counter. He took the paper Rama placed in the counter and checked it. Rama can see the name plate on the man's uniform, it reads 'Morris'.

"It's a Rank E job, can I see your license." Morris says while looking at your face.

"... if you do not have a license you can register for a fee of two gold coins." Morris says, before handing out a pamphlet that explains what the guild does, what the membership is for, and what you can do with your license. To summarize: the guild's like a human resources agency that acts as intermediary between client and adventurer.

"If you do not have the money now, I'm afraid I can not process your application."

Morris and the others behind the counter seem indifferent about you.

Rama asks, "If I had a license, what would the job pay?"

After learning the pay for the dancing gig, Rama goes outside. He'll find a quiet place to put this all together.

Could I busk for the money? Come see the Dancing Devil! He snorts, but can't deny the idea had appeal. Maybe the fire spheres could make it a real show.

He'll need a place to practice. Somewhere private and not flammable. He goes on another walk, looking for a place to practice integrating fire with one of his Bollywood dance routines. He doesn't want any viewers, that would be less people willing to pay.

Morris says that Rank E Adventurers do not get much but as they complete more missions and increase their rank and renown, the pay increases a lot.

During Rama's roaming around town, he found that Newtown has a park that's wide enough, it's not private though. He can try the forest or the beach as well, it's already dusk though and Rama can only assume that these places are not as safe in the night as it is during the day.

With no good options, Rama finds a quiet spot in the park and goes through the routine he had in mind, not fully moving, just basic footwork. He looks for places to incorporate his fire spheres in the number.

He settles on starting the routine, summoning the spheres after the first break a minute in, then dancing with the spheres spinning around him. He thinks fire or electricity orbs would be the most flashy but practices with light orbs first.

He realizes that this will likely risk failure, as he does fail in his chosen summon spot, so he should probably start the routine only when he's successfully summoned the spheres.

The fire orb you were trying to create started to grow but eventually it fizzled out. Summoning the magic spheres was not as easy as you thought it would be. A couple of times it would fizzle and die but eventually you were able to create some fire spheres. It's warm and radiant, the light brightens up the otherwise dark and dull park.

"What you got there mister?" A scruffy looking middle aged bald man in light dirty clothing asks. His right hand seem to be hiding something behind him. The man approaches Rama.

Once he had the spheres in place Rama starts to move around paving out a dance number without actually dancing yet, having the spheres circle around him, slowly at first.

"Fire show," he says to the newcomer.

"I'm not a goblin; you know that, right?"
Aug 12, 2020 2:42 pm
"Goblin or not, this park's my territory." The bald man reveals what he was hiding. A knife!

"Now hand me yer money if you want to live." Turns out that his first audience is a mugger. Will Rama run or fight?
OOC:
You have 1 fireball summoned beside you. The thief is around 10ft in front of you.
Aug 12, 2020 2:47 pm
Fight!

His face opens wide with pleasure, his fangs glistening in the light from the fireball. "You have chosen... Death."

His eyes stare into the mugger's. He conjures up thoughts of his devil form growing, the whole park bursting into flame, chains reaching from the ground and flaying the flesh from innocent muggers.

Devils can make someone who gaze into their eyes illusions which can range from being mundane to something terrifying.

If there is a test required? Or does he save? - (1d20+3)

OOC:
I'll assume it is an attempt to intimidate. Your result is 15, +1.
Rama couldn't make the entire park appear as if it was burning but he was able to make himself look like a greater demon in the eyes of the mugger.

"W-Waaa! What are you." His whole body seem to tremble in fear from the demon before him. Yet he wouldn't run away.

"D-Die you demon!" Instead it tried to stab Rama with his knife. The thief falters and misses, he almost tripped towards the ball of fire. Rama has an opportunity to make a counter attack before the thief could move back.
OOC:
You can make 1 reaction. After that it is your turn. The thief is frightened until the end of your turn.

Rama attempts to Parry the attack and them counter by slamming his flame sphere into the man.

OOC:
The attack already missed, no need to parry?
Rama counters the muggers attack. He slams the flame sphere on the man...

The fire singes up the man's clothes but the attack did not hurt him much. The flame sphere fizzles and disappears.

The man moves backwards.
OOC:
Still your turn.

Rama's anger burns brighter as his hard wrought flame sphere disappears. "Now I feed!" He launches forward, slashing with his sharp claws, fangs stretching wide.

Fighting - (1d20+1)

Rama scratched the thief with his claws. He was able to tear off the man's shirt but the wounds he inflicted were light and negligible.

"I'm not afraid of you, you Devil!" He shouts as he attempt to stab Rama again.

The mugger was able to inflict a light cut on Rama's side as well. It doesn't hurt much.

The mugger tries to move away from Rama again giving the devil opportunity to react.

OOC:
What do you mean by "react" or "reaction"?
Aug 12, 2020 4:31 pm
OOC:
Yep, you can make a counter attack or use powers that requires reaction.
After that it is your turn again.
