If she auto accepts once unconscious that then gives her fast healing 2 correct? If so no stabilize rolls are needed as she heals 2. Any healing done auto stabilizes the person healed.

Well crap, forgot about accepting those, would have added a bit to my damage and maybe added to my actual number of hits too. On well.

Hey, it's all good. It wouldn't be the first time a character of mine bit the dust if she hadn't stabilized. I think we're done save the wrapping up until the next book anyway, so we've got time and Ragnhildr will be right as rain by the time the next fight rolls in.

It's just a game, and while I would have been annoyed if Ragnhildr had died, it would have been at myself and my luck, not at anyone here, and it would have lasted only a few seconds. No need to worry about me. I'm good, just waiting on someone to wake Kiley or Ragnhildr up so I can RP again.

Seeing everyone else either concerned with the loot or Jessica and that the snake woman wasn't apparently planning to attack again in the immediate future Sunday turns and heads back down into the tower to check on Kiley.

The nightmare's over is what he wanted to tell her after waking her up, but it wasn't really, not while that woman was loose.

Grace still stands at the top of the stairs. Kiley and the other captive are on the platform below, covered in Grace's cloak to ward off the chill.

Grace stops singing as Sunday walks down.

"What happened? Is everyone alright?"

"More or less. Jessica's pregnant." Sunday offers to Grace.

"Just... what did you do up there?" Grace asks, somewhat astounded.

Sunday's shoulder's slump forward slightly, an annoyed expression on his face hidden by the mask. "Not. That. The woman running this place is part snake and pushed Jessica off the tower. A talking flying big lizard thing saved her and the snake woman escaped."


Female Human Bard (Diva) 6 | HP: 40/40 | AC: 14 | T: 11 | FF: 13 | CMD: 14 | Fort: +4 | Ref: +6 | Will: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +1 | Sense Motive: +17 || Bardic Music: 19/24 rounds for the day || 1st Lvl Spells: 5/5 for day, 2nd Lvl Spells: 1/4 for day

Grace digests this information.

"It sounds like an opera." she notes, "Well. Help hasn't arrived yet from the temple. It honestly hasn't been long at all, really. Do they need healing? Do you need healing?"[/b]

"The white haired one got knocked the f&$% out. Again."

"I think Kiley would like to see you when she wakes up anyway." Grace leans in to kiss Sunday on the cheek, then rushes up the stairs.

I won't go right into any actions yet. Give folk time to catch up, up there. If need be Grace will cast cure on "the white haired one" right away.

Making her way down to find Grace, Yavenee hears her question. "Yes, I believe most are in need of it, but the white haired warrior most of all, and my healing touch will not work on her again today." she says quietly. "Your singing was a great boon." the little witch continues with a smile.

Sunday doesn't react when Grace kisses him, instead he waits till she walks on before waking over and sitting down next to Kiely.

Grace kisses Yavenee on the cheek as well.

"I am glad I was able to contribute. I felt a bit helpless down there but no dust bunnies attacked our downed friends, I promise you that."

Her laughter dies down when she catches sight of the gem dragon.

"Oh my..." but she quickly shakes off the sense of awe she feels and rushes to Ragnhildr's side and begins softly crooning a song of healing.

Krysta was too preoccupied making sure Jess was alright to catch Sunday's first comment about her being a flying lizard, likely a good thing. The second time though, when he'd gone to speak to Grace she screeched out, "Who are you calling a flying lizard ape boy! My kind already ruled the plane of earth before your ancestors ever climbed out of the trees!" Hearing Someone come storming up the stairs Krysta pulled Jess against one of the parapets and stood between her and everyone else. When Grace reached the top of the stairs she found herself almost face to snout with a rather cross looking dragon made of crystal who glared at her while still guarding Jessica's unconscious body. She backed up enough that Grace could get around her but still watched the singer carefully.

"What in the hells is an ape? And my ancestors didn't climb trees, Dauds suck at climbing." Sunday calls back, not really caring if he was heard or not.

Shaking her head as she walks down the stairs, Yavenee approaches Sunday as he stands over the two unconscious women. "With the immediate danger passed I can heal them both enough that they would wake, or should I wait until they are somewhere safe that will not immediately remind them of these horrors?" The man had been nothing but hostile to her, and given his fear of the supernatural, witnessing her power tonight had probably made it worse, but he clearly cared deeply for this Kiley of theirs.

Sunday tilts his head to the side in thought before looking up at the witch. "Thanks, but it might be best to let them sleep till we're on the ground. Hopefully the lizard will offer to carry them down safely."

She messes with people's minds, hopefully that doesn't carry over into her healing magic as well.

Delendir holds his position tense trying to find where the serpent went. After a few seconds he reacts looking around, he looks at the small dragon still confused, then at the fallen Ulfen and not knowing if she is stable he runs towards her trying to safe her life.
Heal (stabilize): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

When Yavanne and Grace arrives to help he starts realising what has happened "It's horrible, Jess was thrown down the tower by that b&$*&"

The half-elf recovers the bow and protects watchful the area, still not trusting the serpent is gone.

When the dragon exclaims Jessica is still alive and she carries a baby, emotion smears with tears the ranger's eyes "She... she is alive! For Erastil's sake, Tal's son!!!?"

Only after everybody is safe he helps explore the area forcing any lock found and helps collect everything found.

Then addressing the dragon with a mixture of curiosity, respect and untrust "Thanks for your help... you... what are you? "

"'Ware that snake's bite," Ragnhildr cautions Grace in a shaky voice, "her fang is vicious and her venom burns deep."

It's a few minutes before she is able to stand once more. The magic of the monster's weapon having battered her almost as much as the cruel point of it.

Krysta looked at Delendir when he spoke about Jessica and her crystaline gaze softened slightly. She ceased being quite so aggressively defensive and said, "Or Tal's daughter, whoever Tal is." As the half-elf showed some manners Krysta nodded graciously and said, "I'm Krysta, and Jessica is part of my horde. She's been damaged and that is a serious crime the perpetrator of which must be exterminated with extreme prejudice." She grumbled then as she said, "I'll still get that snakey b%##! yet. As to what I am, I am a dragon." She preened slightly and mantled her wings as she said those last words and then looked at those on the tower top with her and asked, "Who, are all of you?"

"And Gran said I had a tin ear," Ragnhildr chuckles before introducing herself.

"I am Ragnhildr of the Clan Whitescale. I believe that I owe you and the others my life for fighting off that snake."

"I'm afraid she'll live to bite again." Grace says, softly, before helping Ragnhildr to her feet.

The dragon's introduction makes her smile, though. The concept of one collecting people is utterly adorable in a creepy way.

"I am the world renowned opera singer known as Wicked Grace." the diva says, drawing up her presence. "These are my companions. My fellow performer and the mistress of rage, Elisai Aurear. The queen of the witches, her majesty Yavenee. The champion of the forests, Delendir Farnes. The sullen lad who stormed downstairs is the world's deadliest man, Sunday Daud. Of course, you have met Sheyln's most beloved disciple, Jessica DuMorne. We were pleased to we could assist you in combating the evil which infected your... horde."

Not that deadly since that snake woman got away.

The dragon listened and preened at the further praise from Grace and nodded regally at each individual as they were introduced. She eyed Grace appraisingly and then pantomimed pulling out a book and scribbling in it as she sat back on her haunches. That done she looked over at Elisai and made similar motions, though not nearly as extensive. Looking back to Grace she said, "You were singing from below," she didn't seem to be asking a question so much as making a statement, "You are now mine." She turned her head back to Elisai and said, "You might be mine later, we'll see."

It seemed the dragon decided that the group was trustworthy now that she'd claimed Grace for her horde and tapped a ring that was on one of her taloned fingers. Her form blurred and she was replaced by an attractive half-elven woman with hair the same color as her scales. This was the same woman from the temple who made the twins almost scared and who had spoken privately with Jessica last night. She looked at the group and said, "We should get out of here, this place isn't safe anymore, the bells did too much damage. We also need to get Jessica looked at by the clerics to make sure she is alright. Come along." She knelt then and gently picked up Jessica from the ground, cradling the woman in her arms gently as she headed towards the stairs.

Turning to see who was coming down the stairs Sunday let out a sigh when he saw the half-Elven woman with the familiar hair color cradling Jessica. "I was hoping you could fly them down." he simply says as he slowly scoops Kiley up.

Still hurting from her wounds, but determined not to show it, Ragnhildr picks up Aifa and carries her down. Every so often, she steals a glance at the dragon in disguise, and each time, she has to suppress a shudder.

That one is not one to be trifled with.

Once the group is out of the Underbridge, the ulfen's spirits pick up considerably, and she begins to sing an old traveling song.

Sing, trying to pick up everyone's mood some: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Delendir comes back to IronBriar and checks if he is still alive. He then carries him up, whether for interrogation if he is alive, or to make sure he does not raise again if dead "Let's leave for the temple before this whole damned place crumbles to dust. They can heal and treat our friends better there "

As they move carefully down the rickety steps, Yavenee gives Grace a grin. "The Queen of Witches.....I like that...very much."

With all three unconscious people being carried and Delendir lugging the loot, Grace steps back beside Yavanee as they make their way back to the temple.

"Grand gestures, dear. Grand gestures." Grace says softly. "We just broke the back of a murder cult being run by one of the most powerful men in the city and a snake woman. I think we deserve the titles, don't you?"

"Yes, yes I do. And praises sung by the grandest of Divas are the stuff of heroes." Yavenee replies with a little chuckle.

"So long as you understand." Grace links arms with Yavenee and walks on. What happened is too somber to celebrate gaily but she Wicked Grace will take her pleasures where she can.

The party makes it out of the tower and int Underbridge without the tower crumbling on top of them. As they begin to exit onto busier streets of Magnimar they are confronted by a troop of a dozen city guard who are hustling their way toward the tower.

The sergeant of the group sees that the party is exiting the direction of the tower and yells for them to stop. "HHHAAAALLTTTTTT!" he yells before putting his hand on his hip and stopping to catch his breath. The entire group is breathing heavily, signs that they have been either marching hard or long through the streets to get here.

After a few hurried breaths he eyes your weaponry and says, "State your names and purpose here!"

From behind the troops Ghina swoops down and lands on Delendir, looking to him for a reward.

"Census takers. We were making some adjustments." Sunday flatly says.

"Ignore him, he seems to enjoy being surly and unruly. I am Ragnhildr Whitescale. I was helping these people rescue a friend of theirs from the clocktower in the shadow of the Giant's Bridge. While there, we also found that one of my kin had been taken there to be tortured as well. We slew the curs that were there and tried to kill us, but their mistress, a foul beast that has the body of a snake from her waist down, managed to flee into the night," she tells the guard, "Please, may we be on our way? Many of us are hurt, and we carry three in need of the skills of a healer. I believed that one," she nods towards Krysta, "was leading us to the temple she is a part of."

The half-elf smiles satisfied at the sight of Ghina. He takes a small piece of dried meat and feeds the hawk while others talk.

"And this one was all part of their plan against Magnimar" risks to add Delendir while showing IronBriar "We have letters from the cult that prove he was involved"

"To be specific." Grace says, stepping forward.

"Gentleman, we are the Deputies of Sandpoint, an adventuring group. Our investigations into a group known as the Skinsaw Cult led us here. This man was one of the leaders, corrupting your city from within. As my companion Delendir Farnes have said, we have evidence proving this. We do, however, have wounded, including a pregnant priestess of Shelyn. We would like to see her safely to her temple so she may recover. Will you provide us aid?"

The man looks up at the tower, down to the group where he eyes each one of you. He finally nods, "Right then, let's get help for these wounded and then you can show me your evidence." Turning around and looking at his men he throws his arms up. "Well? What are you waiting for, let's get them help! Hurry up now, why you sorry lot just standing around?!"

As the group makes it back to the temple they turn back to see a tremendous sight. The shadow clock finally loses it's support as it comes crashing down under the Irepsan. A large plume of dust and smoke are thrust up into the air all over Underbridge as the three hundred foot tower comes down throughout the city.

Later that day, after the wounded are tended to in the temple, the sergeant comes back to Grace an Delendir. "Now then, let's see the proof you have of this conspiracy and cult, shall we?"

Do you need me to play Kiley or Aifa?

By the time they arrive at the Temple of Shelyn, Ragnhildr is dead on her feet. The last quarter of the journey back, she needed help carrying her cousin, and nearly need to be hauled the rest of the way herself.

Krysta was about ready to assault the guards if it would let her get Jessica to the temple, fortunately cooler heads than her's prevailed. As the group began to explain their evidence to the sergeant Krysta slipped away to check on her horde. Jessica was resting quietly and seemed to be otherwise alright. She'd assumed as much but had to make sure. Then she went looking for the twins. She knew that Samuel should be resting but knowing him he was likely already up and moving after having been dead only yesterday.

As she searched for Sarah and Samuel Krysta noticed that one of the paintings in the foyer was just slightly crooked. She stepped forward and reached out, her hand just barely tapping the upper right corner. She looked at it carefully and nodded. Stepping back she started to leave for one of the passages leading to west wing of the temple when she stopped. An expression of irritation crossed her face and her left eyebrow began to twitch in an aggravated tick. The paintings had all been moved except that first one and one statue was an inch to the right of where it should be. Only two people would dare do this to her...the twins. A low growl of irritation rumbled from the half-elf's chest, any who were nearby could tell she wasn't to be trifled with just now as she stomped forward and began to rearrange the paintings in the proper order. From the looks of it all, she was going to be a while.

Krysta will be busy for a while neurotically rearranging all of the artwork in the foyer. Feel free to stop in and watch, just be careful, she bites.

Oh, and walking away as the clock tower crumbles seems just perfect. All we need is the music as the dust cloud rolls over us and we walk out of it with confident swaggers and our weapons over our shoulders.

After having her wounds seen to, Ragnhildr stays by Aifa's and Kiley's side. She helped save them, and she was going to be there for her cousin, so if cleric trying to get her to bed was that adamant about it, they were welcome to try forcing her.

Strangely, the cleric didn't take Ragnhildr up on the offer.

As she sits in the comfortable chair, though, the young warrior soon finds that events of the day have taken their toll, and she's fast asleep not long after, her head resting on arms that are folded on the bed Aifa lays in.

Silver Crusade

Nightmares:

Aifa stood in the middle of a white void. It was also the same. She was alone, waiting.

Then there was the footsteps. She turned to face them, wondering about them and dreading them at the same time. Her eyes widen as she sees Ragnhildr walking towards her.

"Ragnhildr? What are you doing here? Where is here," Aifa asks, bewildered by the scene.

"I'm here for you, cousin," Ragnhildr replied, but the word cousin sounded off, the ess having been too soft and too long. It always was in this room.

Before Aifa could make anything of her kin's slightly off accent, Ragnhildr snatches one of her hands and lifts it high, leaving her with no defense against the knife that slips into her side.

"Wh-why," she asked, gasping in pain.

"it is my nature," Ragnhildr replied as the coils of her tail wrapped around the raven-haired Aifa and began to squeeze the life from her.

Aifa's eyes snapped open, seeing the unfamiliar room, panic begins to take hold. Had they found some new way to torment her? Looking around, she spies Ragnhildr dressed in a green dress and vest and a white blouse made in the style popular in Kalsgard. The panic recedes, but only a little.

"Ragnhildr," she asks quietly, stirring the young warrior from her sleep.

Ragnhildr is still to wake, but once she recognizes the voice calling for her, the return to the land of the waking is swift.

"Aifa? Þakka guði! Ég vissi ekki að þeir höfðu tekið þig, og ég vissi ekki hvort þeir myndu gera eitthvað til huga þínum," she cries out as she wraps the young raven haired woman in a fierce embrace. She begins to sob, and laugh, overjoyed that her cousin was alright.

Silver Crusade

Aifa returns the embrace, but her sobs are not happy ones. Relieved that the ordeal was finally over, for no one, not even the most convincing fake, had managed to nearly crush her ribs like Ragnhildr, or Aunt Olsa, could, she could nothing but cry out the fear and despair she'd felt while in the clutches of the Brotherhood of Seven.

Status:

Kiley, woken by the two sobbing Whitescales, looks around the room she was sharing with them.

"Is it over," she asks fearfully, "Is this nightmare over?"

Going to give anyone else who'd be watching over Kiley a chance to respond. I hope you guys don't mind me juggling three characters for a moment. :)
