Neltji moves up slightly to help support her friends as she targets agent 4 with a slumber hex as well. If you can tie them up quickly before they awake. They will only be asleep for a little while. will save DC 17 for slumber hex
Neltji steps to the door and opens it. Taking a second to grow accustomed to the lighting she sees Cevill engaged in a fight. She targets the foe attacking him with a slumber hex. Will dc 17 or night night
Neltji also looks to be too far away to be woken up. As such she enjoys her peaceful sleep letting her thoughts drift away much akin to the visions the party had before with the recluse druid. Perception However some inner sense caused her to awake in the middle of the night. Perhaps it was the sound of casting outside her room. Perhaps it was Anthony that gave her a slight pinch. She wasn’t sure what it was but she awoke with a start and hopped out of bed casting mage armor on herself.
3rd shift and Neltji is in her room already
Neltji lets Shalissa tell her yarn about what they are about and how long they are here for. While she shares the suspicions with her she is not without some compassion and understanding towards a possible orphan. Tires as she was she headed for the first bedroom and claimed the bed there. Wake me for last shift and Anthony and I will take a watch if needed. Otherwise I would prefer to get a full night's sleep and commune with Anthony in the morning. As a spell caster I would need 8 hours sleep but since I have not cast any spells I could continue with my current spell selection if I need to take a watch.
Being the one that asked Kibi to stay until needed it felt that it was up to Neltji to dismiss her. Thank you Kibi. We will be spending the night here so you are free to go. Haps come back in the morning at around 10 if we need a guide for another day.With that she gives her another silver and stays at the inn for a little longer before she leaves to joinCheiton.
On the way to the Shrunken Head Neltji keeps a look out for any immediate danger to the party. Granted she probably wouldn't see anything and even if she did she wouldn't recognize it as danger until too late. perception
Still it paid to keep ones eyes open to new and exciting sights.
Been dealing with holiday family and weather myself. Hopefully will be able to post on Thursday.
Finding the charms to grant neither luck nor unlock Neltji is willing to purchase a fetish as well just to support the child. Thank you child. May you grow strong and healthy. May you grow wise and find family and friends Neltji will fish a pair of silver out to pay the girl. Food at the Shrunken Head sounds great as long as you stay there should we need you afterwards
Neltji looks out over the city landscape of Kalabuta in thought trying to process what it was that she was seeing. Something about the city didn't feel right but she struggled to find the right metaphor to try and explain it. This place is just...off. I can't tell if the colonists are like a parasite feeding off the natives and if removed the natives would be able to maintain their normal lives, or if the colonists are a rot that if removed would take away some healthy tissue as well, or simply a large tumor that can't be removed and will kill everything in time. Regardless the less time we spend here the better I think. As the little girl approaches and Ndombe talks to her Neltji looks her over and tries to assess the health of the poor girl. heal Tell me little one, have you had a full meal today? Where can we get you some food to eat? knowledges on the fetishes if anything in particular
With the help of the others Neltji is pointed out the tree as she would not have seen it herself. The sight of it makes her shudder from a memory of the island they were trapped on. Is that one of those death trees where it turns its victims into the walking dead? If so then we need to stay away from it and just destroy it from ranged with arrows and such like last time. knowledge arcane
With the death of the beast and the celebration of the villagers Neltji will speak with the Shaman and thank her for the generous gift. You honor us with this gift of the monkey head and the map. We will use both to the best of our abilities. Further let it be known that we are friends, your village and us, and may we continue to exist together in peace.
Neltji listened to the newcomer through all of her languages but tried not to respond till common was spoken. Afterall they had assassins supposedly after them to prevent them from finding the lost city first. However this new comer did help them and seemed trustworthy. sense motive Assuming her intuition was correct Neltji introduced herself and Anthony. Welcome. We could use another person as we travel this country. As Nothus says, we could use a trusty blade. I apologize for the less than warm welcome. We have had threats made against us and strangers appearing out of thin air make us cautious. Was anyone injured by the beast? I know your friend was injured Ndombe. healing hex As you see Shalissa I bring some healing to the group along with knowledge and a few other tricks.
will save fail With the beast so close Neltji doesn't have a lot of options before her. She sees Umngane get pummeled with a massive claw strike to the abdomen but can't heal it yet. She throws a hex at it hoping to weaken its resolve as she cackles at it hoping she has 6 more seconds to try and put the beast down next. evil eye saves will save (cackle will make save moot at this point)
What time of the night is it and are there still other villages out and about? If so then Neltji would try to help them home and escort them to kepe them from being attacked. If all of the village is secured then she will stay in the hut with the others.
Neltji will cast mage armor on herself in case the beast shows up in the next 5 hours. Otherwise, she paces the hut impatiently muttering to Anthony as the seconds drag into minutes and the minutes drag into hours.
I stay in the back protected spamming hexes while you all protect me and try not to get yourselves killed while actively trying to kill the beast. Sounds like every encounter we have had in the past and it has worked for us so far.
come in after the second round as you were tracking it sounds like a great idea. Also Welcome!
Unable to not joining on razzing the men, That is not true...the three of your brains are much more valuable than mine pr Anthony's. Mine is used whilst yours are all brand new. But I do like the idea of being in a favorable position. Are any of the huts able to support 1 of our weights so we could attack it from up above? Reach weapons and staying out of brain eating range sounds preferable to me and Anthony.
Druids are great tanks and we have a great amount of spells and abilities...who needs a tank (says the 17 year old girl that hides behind all of the men)
knowledge ?nature? looking for resistances primarily That is horrible. What else do you know about this creature? Is it a natural beast or some planar or magical beast that haunts you all? I won't speak for the others but yes I will gladly help try to rid you of this threat. Where does it show itself mainly?
Neltji's ears perk up at the mention of the curse as her face softens into pity and compassion. Please, ma'am, tell us more about this curse. I hate to see people suffer and would do what I could to help if it is within my ability. sense motive
While typically willing to give people their privacy and space Neltji wants to make sure the elder is mollified and accepting of their presence. Honored elder, we have come specifically to speak with you. You have years of experience and wisdom that we wish to speak to you about. pulling the cloth door aside Neltji looks in but does not enter. After all she still wasn’t invited in. Perception Anthony stealth
Ah, the wise woman of your tribe. What is her name that I may go and speak with her bring some of this marvelous boar to her. We must honor her as the tribe shaman since we have come uninvited to her area. Neltji will make her excuses as she brings some the feast out to the woman.
During the meal and entertainment Neltji will compliment the different feats of the acrobats while tasting the native cuisine. Finding a fruit that she enjoys but may not know the name of she asks what it is and where do they find it. Continuing her questions she also asks about the old woman with the painted face and what the painted face represents. Is she an elder of the tribe and thus honor is bestowed upon her by being marked with paint?
Nice Nothus. That just added a whole new level to that scene for me.
Neltji smiles at the mention of the large boar. In common, That is quite a feat. It is difficult to killa mighty creature like that on your own. Well done! Neltji will happily join the feast and talk amongst the villages asking questions about their life and habits and keeping up a general chatter of conversation. Should anyone ask about bartering she will haggle with them with the meager supplies she brought.
That is only a delicacy for important visiting dignitaries. I don't think we have reached that level yet. Don't forget the live snakes inside the snake as well.
Neltji also listens into the conversation the people are having and invitations offered. She only respondsin common though for the moment to not alert them that she understands fully what they are saying. What is for supper? What type of meat? she asks as she has heard that distant tribes sometimes practiced cannibalism. Of course, she doesn't say this either but Ndombe is likely aware of why she is asking. It wouldn't do for the tribe to eat mule as well.
Neltji accepts the mule graciously and spends some time with it after casting speak with animals to introduce herself, Anthony, and Steve. Once duly acquainted she retires for the night to get a good nights sleep to head out in the morning on the next leg of their journey.
Neltji tries to stay out of the limelight as the others go about decimating the thugs and then stabilizing them. Not sure how that will go as some of those arrows and blows were pretty lethal. She does claim her winnings as that was due to her as that was the whole point of the fight and to neglect to do so would just embolden other actions later. Hopefully though no one was the wiser as to her abilities and they would not consider her a threat. When Nothus pipes up about watches she agrees to take her turn with Steve watching as well. I think we also need to be careful about who we talk to from here on out. We know that there are others behind us who do not want us to reach our final destination intact. Let's resupply as we need to and head out in the morning to get an early start on the day's travels. She looks to see if there is a mule available for purchase to help carry items and make Steve's job easier. Otherwise she holds onto her money for now.
Neltji will shout Nothus praises while she targets the next thug with a slumber hex again, waiting for contact to make it seem like he knocked one out in a single blow! Ready action Will save dc 17 slumber hex
Neltji will stay on the fringe of the fight and ready to hex one of the thugs that gets hit by Nothus. She tries to time it so when contact is made the hex affects him putting him to sleep! Hex save will 17
Neltji yells out to the crowd placing bets on the fight. I can’t believe you are supporting Rickets and his dirty scam! However I am betting 50gp on us to win!
Neltji will head straight for the largest group of people she can find yelling at the top of her lungs.
Neltji puts her hands on her hips and stares at Rickets like he is daft. What do you mean wiggle your fingers? Everyone was clapping, pointing and moving hands and fingers this entire time! You need to pay up before we have the entire camp in an uproar for your scam chicken fights.
For the knock out blow... for
More Cornugon pecking! for Misfortune on Muddy Liza as well dc 19
Cornugon goes for the advantage! for
Neltji gets caught up in the fight as she cheers on Cornugon. Peck away little bird, peck away! Wait...is that what I am suppose to be cheering like? How do you even encourage a bird that doesn't understand you? Does it even matter at this point? Our expenditure of energy to cheer on a bird is a waste, yet so engrossing!
Interesting, and is there anything special about the 2 cocks? Are they both healthy or is one of them sick? Why is one of them favored over the other? Is one of the owners that much better at training their cock? Once she gets some answers then she will still put 10gp on Cornugon. During the match she will evil eye Muddy Lyza to shift the odds in her favor since there is no way to detect it.
Arriving at the clearing Neltji lets out a, Whoop, we made it guys! And we did it quicker than we thought by cutting through the mines. We have to be ahead of everyone else now. Nice job everyone! At the merchant encampment Neltji is quite curious as to what is all going on and tries to get as close to the ring as possible. I have no idea Cevill but let’s go take a look! She grabs his hand and drags him along as well to see the spectacle. Asking around since the ring is empty, she gets the name of ‘Rickets’ and tries to find him. So what is this cock fighting all about? I have never heard of it before. How does it work, what’s the rules, who provides the cocks and how does one win?
Neltji looks to Ndombe questioning what he means about needing a talk later. If you insist I will always be happy to talk with you about anything you feel is a pressing conversation. What is it that we are going to be talking about?
When Athyra gives her offer of help Neltji jumps at the idea. While I would love to have you be with us and your friend as well I think having you provide a safe and secure passage for the caravan is most important. As you can see we have taken care of ourselves already. I do not know how well the caravan is faring and how much help they will need.
Athyra, it is good to see you again! We could have used your help down in the mines but thank Gozreh we made it out in one peace. I do think Nothus is a little worse for the effort though as one of the creatures hit him and seemed to sap some of his strength. The creature that hit him was wearing a necklace. I have it here.[b] Pulling the necklace out of her pack she shows Athyra. [b]There is a picture inside the locket but it has some initials on it. I am sorry to say that I believe that your father died while trying to recover a lockbox in the mine. He was found near a strange glowing blue orb that was the source of all the undead trouble. I am sorry Athyra.
