Mudy Quest volume 2 has reached 759 posts with only two chapters and thus it is time to create volume 3 to keep threads loadable and the server safe.

For previous volumes check http://www.tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/
Be sure to take your time reading it so you don't miss out on the details.

Now, is everyone ready for the cliffhanger conclusions of chapter 11?!

Say "Consider this your greatest challenge, sir knight."

Approach the others. Say "Hey. I saved the princess and the entire kingdom from a spell that clouded their minds. The King gave me a weapon and a magic flute for my trouble, and also tasked a knight to help us. Sorry I took so long."

Are Ivar and Rune anywhere to be seen?

Mudy turns to his other three companions. Ivar and Rune are no where to be seen, as usual.

>"Greetings, lads! How's the ale treating you?"
, he exclaims.
Axebeard lowers her laughter to a chuckle.
>"Lad! Wonderful, lad! There be somethin' 'bout this brew that brings out ta best in me!"
, she responds.

Totenkopf and Darkmoon don't seem to be paying attention.
>"If you vhasn't grown up so different I would feelink like I am cradlerobbink."

Mudy joins his gang at the table, gesturing to Bladetree to do the same.
He introduces him to Axebeard, who introduces herself back with excitement.
>"Good ta have ye with us, lad! Ta Prince be a good leader, ah'll have ye know!
Now, ye both gotta try some 'o this brew."

>"Yes, please."
, Bladetree responds,
>"I could use a strong drink."

With Bladetree and Axebeard getting along nicely, Mudy turns to Darkmoon and Totenkopf.
>"I never really got the chance to ask the two of you about your past."
, he says offhand.

The two end their struggling.
>"Vhat? Vhy you are beink interested now, prince?"
, Darkmoon asks, giddy from her drink.

>"Because this is the first moment of downtime we've had where someone wasn't dropping in to unexpectedly potentially kill us."
, Mudy responds. His interest seems to go over well.
>"Where are the two of you from? How did you join the Skullking? Or Calavera?"

Darkmoon laughs.
>"Calavera, tat assvhipe."
She shakes her tankard.
>"It vhas vhen my oma makink allience with Skullking. Tey send me to be helpink vhareffort as diplomatic action.

>Ten little Totenkopf.. or I should sayink.. 'Nhk'Tok'Han'Yharl'-"
She bursts out in laughter.
Totenkopf does not seem amused.
>"Damned woman.. Don't shay my nnname when you.. just laugh at it..
>My mother wash in love with a human, sho she made a deal with shome devil, blah blah, firshtborn child, everyone shcared, damned Shkullking thinksh I got talent in dealing with the Underworld, Calavera takesh me in to mentor me."

Darkmoon simply hugs him in response.

Mudy begins to feel a little uncomfortable.
>"And when did the two of you start...you know?" He clears his throat to avoid their questioning looks.
>"Feeling that way about each other?"

Darkmoon hits Totenkopf on the head with her tankard.
>"Vhen leetle brat becomink handsome smart younk man."
Totenkopf grumbles.
>"I wasn't SUCH a brat."
>"You vhere beink vhorst kid ever in existance."

Mudy takes a moment to let it sink in.
>"How old are you two?"
, he finally asks.

>"I am reachink 923 sprinktimes soon."
, Darkmoon responds dryly.
Totenkopf grunts,
>"Eleven."

It's not so odd. Elves live a LONG time. Goblins not so much.
In fact, Darkmoon will probably still outlive Totenkopf, even with the age difference.
Best not mention this.

Emergency! Emergency! Questions about our question mark of a backstory incoming!

Abort! Talk about something else!

"Wow. Well, what's important is that you like each other."

Consider.

"In the meantime, I think I need to start planning our next move. Where can I find some maps and books around here?"

But Toten is a powerful mage. His magic would extend his lifespan enough that they could live happily ever after ~<3

>"Wow."
Mudy pauses for a moment.
>"Well, what's important is that you like each other."

He takes a moment to contemplate and collect his words. There's just this itchy feeling that makes him want to visit a library.

>"In the meantime, I think I need to start planning our next move. Where can I find some maps and books around here?"

>"The Institute of Silver Leaves Tree of Knowledge Royal Library, ofcourse!"
Bladetree cries out, his voice brimming with excitement.
>"But more importantly, this brew is amazing! Thou must try it, prince Mudy! Thou must!"

Meanwhile, Axebeard has begun pleasantly laughing to herself again.

Mudy eyes the tankard nervously.
>"I ... I will, later."
, he declines.
>"I have to do some research."

He quickly leaves the bar and his jolly fellows behind to escape the numbing alchohol.
He calls out for Ivar and Rune - They're outside already.

>"Young master, we have passed ze library on our own way here."
, Ivar begins, with Runy finishing,
>"It is only a few streets away. We can take you zere right now."

Throw one last look over shoulder to make sure that the bartender isn't grinning evily.

If no evil grin is found, head straight to the library and start looking up all of the shit we've been faking knowledge of up until now. A map would be a great start.

The brothers lead Mudy to a large round building sporting simple decoration. Physically it is nothing amazing, but Mudy feels that thousands of years are written down here. Generations come and go, empires rise and fall, and all is recorded by the Institute of Silver Leaves.
Mudy just knows this building oozing with knowledge is going to give him all the answers he needs.
