"So the mayor si dead now, huh, now what? Pursue that Joshua to Shaladur?"I asked.
"Well, we should get out of here, this place doesn't look like it's gonna be safe after it gets dark. The Reapers will come for the corpses."
"You are right...let's leave this town....once the rune hs been removed the seal of the shadow demon will be open and the ancient ones will return....this isn't a safe place anymore...."
And we walked out of Tukuar, the city eaten by the shadows.
Several hours after it grew dark we placed a fire on the forest that we had headed into.
"What now?" I asked.
"Well, we should go to Qiuneas, a big city that lies across the Delright River, just a few miles from here. We could gather information about the seals or of that fellow Joshua" said Gamemaniac as he gazed through the fire.
"That'd probably be the best choice. We will pass the forest and get to the other side of the river."
The next morning we were all startled because a noice had woke us up.
"What the....?!"
A tall slender creature with a grass beard and red gleamy eyes screamed as he approached us.
"Vivicias Forthis!" he repeated constantly, s he rammed us ferociously with his huge, wooden arms.
"We have no choice but to take it down...

I suppose we could skip the obviosly boring part of entering the quest, as I don't think someone would stay out of the leveling part. Let's keep our formation in corners until something where a change could help comes in, but I doubt it since this is basically the best 4-member formation.
Suddenly, two other of those things appear from his sides, maybe his yell was a battle cry or something calling his friends.
They make a line formation D1-D2-D3

"Look!"
The ents collapsed into the ground. Their red eyes faded and from their bodies emerged a green figure.
"This must be the heart of an ent, seems it had been corrupted by seeing their eyes."
Suddenly several ents rised from the forest. Their eyes however, were green.
"Calvrius morti, divinus deliriqus..." one said. "I'm sorry, we don't understand", I spoke.
"We arrre the eeents......we arrrre sorrrry....."One of them said.
"Sorry?" asked Mephistopheles.
"My brotherrrrs.....werrre......corrrupted......demon......"said in a booming voice. "Demons arrre rising....Take the hearrrrts......beforrre the rrreapers...."
"I believe this hearts were purified after we extinguish their rage....we should keep them and be sure the reapers don't take them." I said.
"We are sorry your friends died," said Gamemaniac.
"Do not grrrieve forrrr them....you freeeed them......" Said the ent as he lifted their fallen friends' corpses and disapeared into the forest.
"We....we should go..let's keep these hearts....Lock and Isen might be able to craft us better weapons."I said. We continued through the forest and came out. The Delright River was there, and just a few steps away was the gleaming city, Quineas.

Well then, we're practically at Quineas, but it's getting dark, we should seek shelter for the night and investigate tomorrow, there might be an Inn around, there's always one.
You said we could find information here, I think the less time we take the best, and I don't know how being here will help us, you know, I am worried that Neru might get the rune before us. The seal doesn't worries me much.

"Hmmm I did remember there was a bridge somewhere..."I said. We looked around for several minutes until we heard Mephistopheles call "Here!"
We approached a pedestal by the river which said the following:
"Evil has apeared in this time. So matter must be brought into our hands.... ...to go through this bridge beyond.... ...a simple question you must respond.... ...if you fail 3 times, 2 days you shall wait... ...if you wish again to open this gate.,,
It has this below....
"Y Y U R Y Y U B I C U R Y Y 4 M E"
Decipher this and you shall enter, if not go back and surrender....
"We should probably discuss this and then figure it out. Do not attempt unless you are really sure. I am gonna look for some wood for the campfire...I will be back soon."

By the way, try better stuff for failing, I won't wait 2 days even if we fail you know.
Alright.... well, too many "Y" in that`phrase, it kind of looks hard to make a phrase with those letters.
Well, since I'm not in the mood to decypher crazy words... I'll just check some points.
Letters in disarrange on a pedestal to pass a river? and a gate by the river? well that sounds a little odd, since we're not supposedly entering a castle built by a river, but let's say I believe you, the phrase should have some relation with the passing of the river, opening of a gate or such, or some cult-like code, something other than that wouldn't be logic, and I'm really going to delete that post if it has no relation and it's just completely stupid.

I'm really going to delete that post if it has no relation and it's just completely stupid. This was not necessary ... remember that they are free to handle their quest as they want (Always following the rules). Try not to underestimate other's ideas.
OK so this is what I have found so far: Y Y UR Y Y UBICUR Y Y 4ME YOU ARE YOU BE I SEE YOU ARE FOR ME Yet not sure what this means if it means something at all.

I hate when I take a lot of time to post and you post before... mhe
"Y" could ctand for "why", but it still doesn't makes sense to me.
I might still kill Perseus if he makes another sort of this bad context, I mean, a pedestal to cross a river, which magically has a gate, which can't possibly cover all it's length, I could pass it walking.

Ok, so, two y's in succession as why why, is right stupid, don't say anything about it.
Now, two y's works as two wise which also sounds just like too wise, which can make a sentence.
"Too wise you are, too wise you be, I see you are too wise for me"
I'm still killing you for the context. Big time.

The gate suddenly opens and the bridge reveals itself to us......
The pedestal changed its inscription and instead said the following:
..Hello friend, you are welcome to enter, ...but after you cross you must say, "I'm done" ..Because fiends might want to get in later... ..so the gate closes and they will be gone..
As we entered the gate, i said:"I'm done," the gates closed and we continued into Quineas. At our first glimpse Quineas seemed a lot bigger than Tukuar, we decided to head to the bar to decide on our next move and find some info about Joshua. To our surprise, there, having some beers, were the Isen brothers which saw us first and called us:"Over here! Perseus!"
"It is so nice to see you again", greeted us Lockrum. "Indeed, you 3 have proven amazing skill and power."added Isen.
"Thank you Isen, Lock, I said, "Hey Isen, do you know about a man named Joshua?"
His face turned pale, maybe as snow, then he slowly began:" Joshua was here some days ago, he was looking for something that had lost, a...rune? really old thing, with inscriptions all over it, I had never seen something like it."
"He lost the rune....that means he hasn't found it yet....."said Mephistopheles in a low voice.
"Rumor has it that some rogues stole it from him when he came to the village, caught him offguard."continued Isen.
"They must not be normal thieves to be able to trick Jash...."said Mephistopheles.
"Hey what do you got there?..."asked Isen.
We all took the Hearts of Ent out.
"By my white beard! This are Hearts of Ent! One of the materials of power! With this we can lift some of the curse!"exclaimed Isen.
"Great, will it take 3 days or...."asked Gamemaniac.
"Oh no no no, just some minutes, I knew you would be able to find them so we arranged the weapons to add them as fast as possible."said Isen in an eager, yet somehow, solemn voice.
"Great, so we will go back to your smith?" I asked. "Yes, let's go" said Isen as both came out of their chairs in a jump, and headed outside the bar.
Back at their smith, we waited a few minutes outside, then Isen came back with our equipment.
"The curse has been partially lifted, they are more powerful now...."
-Gamemaniac recieved Crimson Katars-
-Mephisopheles recieved Crimson Bracers-
- Perseus recieved Crimson Robes-
"If you want a better version of hose ancient weapons, get the remaining items and we will be able to get it done for you!"said Isen, "Oh by the way, the Joshua guy said to have headed to the rogue camp just north from here, after leaving town, be sure to rest before leaving."
"Thank you Isen, I hope we meet again." I said.
"Take care lad, fare safely...."
We walked out of Isen and Lock's smith and proceeded to look for Joshua.

We rested some and discussued about Joshua.
"Hmmm...impossible, Joshua teleported himself to Shalandur...."said Mephistopheles in an incredulous voice.
"Yeah I know...but how the hell could've Isen seen him and heard about him? He is not the lying-kind of guy...."I addressed to Mephistopheles.
Suddenly a man entered the room, we immediately recognized him.
"Kharstoff....?" I said.
"Yes, it is I, I am glad to see you all alive, after what happened to Tukuar."he started.
"Say Kharstoff, how you got here?" I asked.
"By crossing the bridge." he responed.
"Why didn't you simply teleported?" I asked again.
"Well, I pressume you passed through the bridge outside...."he said. "Yes we did," we responded.
"That spell was putted very recently, not many people are aware of it. It doesn't allow teleports through and outside Quineas, alas boy, it would be dumb not to put it, we are aware some people from the darkside are able to teleport...." he explained.
"That's it!" said Gamemaniac,"Joshua did not know about the seal of teleport and he hit a snag!"
"It is quite possible, tell me Kharstof, we know abouta rogue camp out of town, is it under the seal too?"I asked.
"Eh, no, it basically limits to the city itself..."he said.
"We should go to the rogue camp immediately! Any item or other thing you would like to check beore we leave?"I said.

Check items before we leave? the store is there, but what else? you can go anytime, actually, the Adventurer's Mart has thousand of branches and stores practically everywhere, there's nothing new here, I checked earlier.
The Rouge camp is not far, I met the village elder some months ago, and I visited him when you were waiting for Isen and Lock to make the weapons, I knew he would know someting. He said the Rouge camp is almost a fortress filled with thieves, it's near the town, in the middle of the Night's Forest, the elder said that some strange forces make the forest be dark both day and night, the perfect hideout for thieves, no one dares to enter there.
If they have the rune, we need to get there before Joshua, but if he's supposedly also looking for them he might already be on his way.
