Cassian and Rev: He turns to Melilot. "So I wanted to warn you, specifically. I don't think she will be able to connect pain in her hand with you cutting her fingers off. She is literally that stupid. I've never seen anything like it." noted Melilot replies. thank you
No claims.
Azhar's eyes jerk back up to her face. "No wonder you got so strong. Guess you had to just to stay alive, huh?" mm-hm
ow As Azhar pulls her aboard, Fiosa hugs the other woman, and saying, "That was close." Blank eyes worried, "Aren't you supposed to avoid wrestling matches these days?" Her tone absolutely serious. thought fish were supposed to be good for you thanks "These days? Why these days more than any other?" Azhar asks of Fiosa or Melilot. used to be part of my job Melilot explains. although naked and in front of a larger audience same consequences if i lost though

"Cannot see that far down," Gravlax says, readjusting his grip on the oars. "What size?" large
three creatures stalking us about thirty feet down
Melilot will be on boat
Hey, all. So, I sometimes like to experiment with the types of characters I play. Melilot was an experiment. Unfortunately, playing Melilot is boring the heck out of me. So just FYI, I've talked to Mana and will be switching soon to a new character who will (hopefully) be significantly more interactive and stuff.
Sounds good.
GM: So ... I've been trying to make a go of it with Melilot, really I have, but I think she's just the wrong character for this game. I'm not having fun playing her at this point.
So I'm at the point of basically asking, is there a good way to kill her off?
Mathalen's quiet voice, "So you want to magic yourselves up, go running across the mouth of the delta, being incredibly inconspicuous to the navy boats and any fishermen that might be out there, hope you can find the magically hidden cache in time, avoid all the beasties that are in the bay, and come back." A bright smile, "I've never been so happy that there isn't enough room for me on a dangerous expedition." A slight pause. if we could all stop behaving like f#*%ing snotty sarcastic teenagers to each other Melilot replies, we could probably manage to come up with a good plan without pissing each other off for no reason that aside mathalen those are good objections to the water walking plan and cassian you had a reasonable objection to the overland plan she continues. i would like to add that stealing a boat seems like a completely unnecessary risk to save a negligible amount of money given our resources that makes me think that buying or renting a few rowboats seems like the most sensible path at present unless someone has a better reason for one of the other plans she says. with arael coming along in case we prove to need water walking or water breathing to get to the wave door
"Yeah, that sounds much more efficient," Cassian says sarcastically. "But hey, it's your silver piece." six miles an hour is a steady jogging speed for a biggun Melilot muses aloud, so if it is five miles or less from the tip of the island to the cove then a team could get there in one casting of 50 minutes duration team of arael and four bigguns carrying as many small teammates as they can take without being encumbered she continues. heavy armor packed or only light armor worn for maximum speed that would mean one casting to arrive one casting to explore and one casting to return probably be tired after the return trip but things will be over then
Ailyn, "We could always just take the land route first. I mean.. that should only be a day's trip out of the city.. maybe two?" seems like a long way out of the way Melilot says dubiously. how far is it from the southern tip of the parego regicona to the cove she asks. it seems like the closest point and there does not seem to be much there outside the wall if we wish a surreptitious journey
Azhar blinks, "Well, um, unless I'm completely mistaken, that would put it somewhere out in the cove...and I haven't yet learned to walk on water." He looks at Melilot, "Did you pick up on something I missed?" Cassian snickers. Apparently he was thinking the exact same thing. if someone among us has access to a spell that allows for walking on water Melilot says patiently, a single casting might very well cover a large number of people for well over an hour without the expense of renting a boat or the risk of stealing one
GM: Shopping:
Belt of Giant Strength +2
All good?
Fiosa: Melilot looks contemplative. i honestly do not think rev preserved her life so he could have an opportunity to torture her
"That seems unnecessary," Gravlax says. "Perhaps we could rent one for this purpose, and you could steal one later?" is it close Melilot asks. because we could just walk there if so
Fiosa: on the other hand we are all walking away and we at least seem to all be as sane as we were when we started
Arael's voice, dry, "You do have money now. We could just rent one." Melilot turns towards Arael and looks attentive, patiently waiting for him to make his point.
"Never stolen a boat before. Sounds like fun." it cannot be too difficult Melilot muses. they come with their own getaway plan already equipped
"Can we get to the cache of gear first? Seems like that sort of thing would help with the other errands." sounds good
So ... should we keep more of the Skull Candies? Or will 2 be enough for the blown-to-bits corpses and we count on using Speak With Dead for the possibly-not-as-blown-to-bits rest of them?
Fiosa: Her voice quiet, "That was a place full of death, pain, and sorrow." Melilot seems a little at a loss. we are all right thought at least she tries.
"All right. The Luccas are insignificant after that fall from grace before the Thrunes. The local representative is Rance Lucca, whose money comes from the Devildrome, a fighting ring in Rego Cader. And the Sisterhood of Eisbeth is a group of religious assassins. They hang out in the Massacre House, also in Rego Cader." would someone be willing to give a brief and simple explanation of all of the relevant parties living and dead who are somehow involved in whatever it is we are planning to do says Melilot. because now that part two of our circuitous plan to enter delvehaven is nearly a third completed i confess i have rather lost track of things
GM: Fiosa holds herself perfectly and totally in check until the pair gets back to the room. Then she sinks down on the floor (far easier for a halfling than the over large chairs) shaking. Melilot walks over to the other halfling and holds her.
No claims.
how about we go to delvehaven and have a look inside
GM, Cassian, Rev:
Cassian and Rev: a convenient lie will be detected or even impossible to speak if rev casts the appropriate spells Melilot clarifies. if she tries to lie or stays silent we know and she loses another finger
it really should not take more than a few fingers before the truth comes out Meliliot adds.
Cassian and Rev: i believe there are spells that can discern lies and compel truth she comments, which might make the task easier
and if she refuses to answer i could chop off one of her fingers at a time until she does she offers after a moment.
Gravlax looks doubtful. "So this is the last remnants of a dying enchantment rather than a cunning trap?" Melilot glances at the obviously dangerous and completely unhidden mass of moving chains surrounding the slain outsider, then back at Gravlax. cunning she comments.
"Sounds good. I plan on talking to Sian, so perhaps Cassian can join me in that... or whoever thinks they have skills in that arena." Rev suggests they take Sian to the very very poor quarter (the one that's falling apart), and question her there, so she doesn't see the safe-house, or anyone's home. Unless someone has a better location, in which case he will defer. Melilot volunteers to join for this.
Gravlax looks at the waving chain fronds. "So ... the chains are just a mindless enchantment?" Melilot waves a hand at the several chains whose tips are fragmented and flaking away in bits of rust. sian was hired to free 'the twined' and 'weakened his bonds' which seems likely to have been by killing the creature controlling them Melilot says.
And Rev examines the Kyton from a distance. "He's dead." crap says Melilot. well score one for 'the twins' then i suppose "Oh, well I guess that solves that. Shall we take a look around or assume that Sian, or whoever else was here, already got anything worth getting." we have what we came for
"Just thought the stab wounds were a lot like the ones in the dead elf thief in the entrance." A pause, a shrug, "But you're the doctor, so I figured if that were the case and I weren't imagining things, that you'd have mentioned it." Her tone even throughout."Hmm" Rev ponders. "Now that you bring it up, I suppose you have a point. Since they tend to regenerate, it would be odd for a Kyton to have fresh wounds which are the same as an elf that looks like he has been dead for decades. Guess I'm distracted. So... what do you want to do?" He asks her. Melilot's furrowed brow clears during the conversation above. well now things are finally starting to make sense Melilot says. will it heal on its own or can you heal it or is it dead she asks Rev.
Leveled, although she's gonna want to go shopping soon, too. :)
Good luck, take care, and slay the paperwork demons righteously. :)
"Perhaps you misunderstand," Gravlax says, "I want to take care of this creature either way. I thought it might be safer from a distance than by vaulting up onto the chains and climbing. But I have neither the accuracy nor the power that you do. And I'd rather throw rocks than poke it with a stick." i did not misunderstand Melilot replies. i was disagreeing
"So are you saying we should simply avoid it and let it remain unknown?" sure
"Because she might set off the trap that way?" the optimal method for dealing with the unknown is not always throwing rocks at it
"I agree," Gravlax says, and points to the humanoid in the center of the chains. "Melilot, do you think you could put it out of its misery?" would rather not
Claim:
Works for me.
