Percy Silvershaper |
That morning, Percy does something she hasn't done in forever. She prays. She rises early and goes to the edge of camp. She stands there and rotates her head left and right every so often while whispering in Sylvan.
When warned, she just sighs. More witch lackies? Will they never learn...
Lyosha Neverhome |
"You almost sound as if you don't want to slaughter them." Necerhome says alongside a dark chuckle.
Percy Silvershaper |
Slaughtering the minions is no fun. The witches are the problem. I just wonder how many lost puppies we're making. Percy responds without returning the mirth
'Silence' |
attack roll: 1d20 + 7 - 8 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 8 = 15
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
When the minions got within... 300 feet of the wagon Silence would loose a 'warning' shot. and By warning i mean you know try to hit one dead center of the chest. I assume we have several rounds at the minimum to prepare. correct?
Lyosha Neverhome |
"We can fix puppy problem very easily." he growls.
Percy Silvershaper |
In preparation, Percy will cast Bless, making Silence's attack a 16.
Percy Silvershaper |
"We can fix puppy problem very easily." he growls.
Percy is suddenly worried that Neverhome misunderstood.
I mean I wonder how many fatherless we are about to create.Lyosha Neverhome |
Neverhome just shrugs. "If they do have children they're as bad as them. My point still stands, actual puppy or not."
'Silence' |
Aww thanks Percilicious, its more designed just to slow them down make them pull out the shields and advance behind them.. but hey damage is damage yes yes? Maybe make a spellcaster do some finger waving etc...
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
Hobbes nods appreciatively at Percy and glares at Neverhome. "Didn't we have this conversation? I feel like we did."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"Da, we did. My opinions on matter have not changed." he states matter-of-factly to the Halfling.
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"And they're still wrong kid."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"I'll remember that when that," he tosses his head to indicate Hila," is gnawing on you in your sleep."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Yea, there's more chance of Percy gnawing on me in my sleep than Hila. She's just a harmless pup."
Lyosha Neverhome |
You heard the halfman Percilicious, he's wanting your noms.
"Pups grow up."
Sigrun Jagrsdottir |
"Not all born of evil are evil Lyosha," Sigrun says quietly, resting a hand on her fellow Northerner's shoulder. "But we can worry about that when it comes. Should we take a prisoner?" she asks turning to Vashti.
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Yea and you train pups to not chew on ya when they grow up."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"If they survive that long."he mutters under his breath.
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"What was that kid?"
Lyosha Neverhome |
"If. They. Survive. That. Long. Do I need to shout?"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Just checking kid. Is there a reason Hila wouldn't survive that long?"
Lyosha Neverhome |
"Few. She might try to eat one of us. Or she might try to help Witches. Or giants. Or others of her kind."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Ya think that'll happen kid? Cuz it won't."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"Keep telling yourself that."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"I will cuz it's true."
Lyosha Neverhome |
Neverhome lets out a sigh while talking to the obstinate, to him, Halfling. "Just because you say so, does not make so."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"It's true cuz it is true, kid."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"... That is dumbest reasoning for anything I have ever heard."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Look, she's a pup. We can teach her not to eat us or stab us in the back."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"I highly doubt that." he says to Hobbes before turning to Crow. "Lackey right there!" he snarls as he stabs a finger at Hila.
Hila the Orphan |
Hila looks confusedly at Neverhome as she scratches herself with a paw innocently.
"What is this foolish boy on about? Why is he pointing at me? Do you have food human?"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
Hobbes just has his palm meet his face yet again. "Oy."
Zsestrian Raven |
"Crow!" Zses reprimands the raven. He was annoyed, too, by Lyosha's opinion about Hila, but he didn't want to butt in someone's else conversation. Besides, he was still thinking about last night.
I promised that I wouldn't let anything happen to Allie: and I really, really meant that. But...am I able to do that? I can only give funny looks to people and laugh...
With a sigh, he gets up, readying himself for battle. "Sigrun?" the witch gestures to the redhead barbarian.
"I can cast a spell similar to the one the woman in the library was using the other day. Should make things easier. Is that okay for you?" he asks.
If Sigrun's response is affirmative, cast Enlarge Person. 4 minute duration.
After a brief chanting, Zses taps Sigrun's shadow. For a moment, nothing happens, but then it starts to grow larger, as her owner keeps her normal stature. Seconds after, Sigrun's size grows to match her shadow's.
Lyosha Neverhome |
Hearing Hila speak Neverhome turns his head from Hobbes to glower at the wolf before turning back to face the ranger. "Knowing her for only days and yet you make so many assumptions based on nothing. Just know if that thing lays so much as paw on Sigrun or me I will put her down." his voice is completely dead and steady as he speaks.
When Zsestrian makes his suggestion however he turns and looks at the not-witch and Sigrun, curiosity on his face and voice as he "Hmm?".
Provided she does accept as well:
"Ooo..." he coos out in awe, the only response he can really think of as her size increases.
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"One, she won't. Two, I will put you down if you try anything, kid."
Sigrun Jagrsdottir |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
With an almost feral grin Sigrun nods in agreement, feeling the power of Zsestrian's magic flow into her. Glancing down at Lyosha she winks as she draws her hammer from it's place on her back.
Heh Att bonus same (-1 size,+1 Str) Hammer 3d6+4 15 ft reach. AC 14 while using hammer.
As Hobbes takes his bluster beyond the pale she spares the halfling a glance. "No. You won't"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Well tell him to stop threatening the puppy then."
Lyosha Neverhome |
Relieved somewhat that Sigrun was willing to defend him Lyosha begins taking a few deep breaths before readdressing Hobbes. "Fine then, you keep her under control like you say you can and we will not have to worry about anything. But if she hurts anyone in this group, there will be no going back."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Just quit threatening my dog, k?"
Lyosha Neverhome |
"As I just said, if she doesn't hurt anyone, I will not hurt her."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"She's like a baby. She's not gonna hurt us."
Lyosha Neverhome |
At the halfling's stubbornness Neverhome finally lets his face turn into a snarl. "Witches have babies! Giants have babies! Trolls have babies! All monsters have babies! What makes her so damn special?! Why is she more innocent or different than any other monster?!"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Because we're raising her. She's one of us." Hobbes says matter of factly.
Lyosha Neverhome |
"Nyet! She. Is. Not. You have had her for not even two whole days and you think you completely understand her? You are idiot."
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"Because we all got something in common. We're all losers." Hobbes then sees people's reactions and continues. "I mean we all lost something. That's why we're out here. But we all got a chance to do something. Her included."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"She only lost her parents because they were killed when they tried to eat everyone... You did tell her that didn't you?"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"I did. And if I could take it back I would kid."
Lyosha Neverhome |
"And let everyone be eaten?"
Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |
"No. I'd try to knock 'em out or scare 'em off."
