Aw, shucks. No worries - real life always has to be the priority. Wasp was a fun character and it was fun while it lasted!

Obviously, I'm back. Seems you guys decided to wait up for me. ;)
Wasp hangs back behind Vhalas, Ziyad and Dendarial as the group heads into the tunnel. "A girl could get used to having a trio of strong men surrounding her when she goes into danger." She gives them a wink, taking up the rear. As they enter the cavern, her face settles on a wary expression, and she, too becomes alert for danger.
Okay. It looks like we're about to do some dungeony crawling - and so I think this is a good point for me to temporarily move into "NPC back at the Goblin" mode. As previously mentioned, I'm headed out on my honeymoon this week - and will be gone until the end of October. The reason I'm bowing out now is to avoid having to cut out in the middle of something important down in the tunnels. So, yeah. I'm not planning to up and abandon the game - I'll be back in a few weeks and hope to jump right back into things. :D As for what Wasp will default to doing - assume that she'll continue doing her information gathering magic around town while the others are delving, and flirting with Vhalas whenever the occasion arises.
"First things first, though, we all need rest, it's been a long 24 hours." "But seriously guys, I feel like a candle that’s been burned on both ends. I say we get some rest. Restock any supplies we need in the morning and then check it out." It's pretty clear from Wasp's reaction that she didn't even realize they'd been up so late. Then she yawns. "Huh. Guess a few hours of sleep is in order."
"Either way this is a breach of our security and we need to check it out." "Agreed." Wasp nods. "Whatever is down there, it's a threat to our operation." She looks to Dendarial. "I'm used to dealing with humanoids. What can we expect from these Troggs? Besides stench?"
Site was down for me yesterday! Sorry, had intended to post then!
Wasp listens to Vhalas explain the trap door. "I seem to recall smelling something similar earlier. Quite a reek." She glances to Dendarial and Ziyad. "Any ideas what it may be?" "If there are troggs down there is there anything we can do to protect against that smell? some alchemical or the like?" Wasp looks at Den with a somewhat blank expression. "Troggs?"
Wasp wrinkles her nose at the odd smell, and makes a mental note to mention it to Vhalas, Dendarial, Ziyad and Kwava.
I am digging the Hold Person. That can end things real quick. I know! :D
Whether or not Wasp recognized the forgery seems immaterial at this point, but for the most part, she's held back to let the more professional grifters think out loud among each other. She does nod her head a few times, but otherwise doesn't add much. When it's time to search, though, she's as enthusiastic as anyone.
She does love uncovering mysteries.
Okay, my character is fully updated: Highlights:
At Vhalas' request for light, Wasp holds up her holy symbol and mutters a few words. The silver amulet begins to glow brightly.
"I think I have it." Wasp leans in to see over his shoulder, pressing up against him.
Hit point roll
Niiiiice. Haven't fully updated my character yet. It's also been a busy week for me - weekend looks a bit better! A reminder as well, on October 12th I set sail on my belated honeymoon - and will be incommunicado for two weeks. Assume Wasp is being alternately flirty and frightening at that time.
Wasp looks at the hole, then glances back at Ziyad, Dendarial and Vhalas. "This isn't my purview, boys. Who wants to go first?"
Had connection troubles with Paizo all day yesterday. Back now! Edit: Just noticed that we've "dinged!" Won't be able to level up until probably tomorrow (I'm at work right now.)
Yeah, I had a subscription to the Pathfinder Companion series - the tiefling books is pretty great, too. :D
My friend just picked up the equipment guide and it's pretty spiffy. Is the race guide a good buy? I'm waffling on which one I should pick up next.
Wasp laughs and whispering something back at Vhalas. Vhalas:
"I'm always on the lookout for a good partner. Going solo is never quite as satisfying." She gives him a wink, and follows him to join up with Talia. "Good to see you back on your feet. Wasp got some useful information from Saul's old employees, but I'll leave it up to her to go into detail. You said Kwava wants to talk to us? Fine, lets see what he has to say." "Suffice to say we've got a good lead, but we need to follow up on it before anyone can leak word to Saul." She gestures toward the imp hanging in the cage. "Oh, and that little guy wants to a piece of that bastard, too."
For the record, I'm all for inviting both to join us.
I presume Diplomacy and Intimidate in equal measure. That and cutting people who give me lip! Ha-HA! *Roberto stabbing motions*
Drider & Vhalas:
Drider & Vhalas:
Questions:
"I couldn't agree with you more." He can read body language well. "It's like you're reading my mind." She grins back at him. "I like it." She turns to look at Kwava as he suffers a barrage of questions, waiting for their "boss" to offer some leadership.
"We go back to the Goblin rolling in hard. We put down anyone who resists and then let Wasp have some alone time with each of them. Someone will talk... they always do." Wasp smiles. "They came after us, and harmed Talia." And by Calistria's Poison Stinger, they will PAY for that affront. She looks to Kwava. "We've been compromised. We need to learn the extent of just how much damage has already been done."
Wasp has been with the group the whole time, staying back and quietly taking in events.
Sorry about that "not around" thing. :/
"Alright Wasp, I'll take it from here. Go tell the others that were done. I'll meet you in a moment." Wasp's expression is grim as she drops the bloody arrow into the water and wipes her hands on the whimpering rat's tunic. When she rises, her smile reappears, and she gives Vhalas a wink. "Don't be too long." She saunters back to the others and gives Dendarial a pointed look. "I'm sorry, but some things need to be done right, and it takes a bit of time. Vhalas is right behind me, and we'll be able to clear out of this cesspool."
Wasp takes one of the silver arrows to use as a threat, and then mutters a prayer to Calistria, as she crouches down and lays a hand upon the wererat.
She smiles at him. "Now then, my little rodent. I've just cursed you in the name of the Goddess of Revenge. If you lie to me, it will be... unpleasant." She holds up the arrow so he can see the silver head, and touches it. "And that unpleasantness will be just the beginning of what I can do to you."
"Who sent you to kill us?"
Wasp has wandered over to the stabilized wererat, and is holding her grazed shoulder with a pout on her face. "One of the blighters got me. I'd hate to think I'm losing my edge." She looks down at the unconscious rat. "At least we got one of them alive." "Get what you can from him, and then end his life quickly with little pain. We lack the resources to cure this man, and cannot put him back into society to spread his disease. From what I have heard there is no turning your life around while stricken with this ailment." "He will not suffer." Wasp lies smoothly, then adds under her breath to Vhalas. "So long as he cooperates." After Den steps away to talk with Talia, she looks at Vhalas with deadly seriousness. "I know many techniques that can... encourage someone to speak truthfully, but they take time. The fastest way to do this would be through a divine spell I know that encourages truth on the threat of pain. However he would need to be conscious... and if he lies, in his current condition, it might prove fatal."
Ugh. So this past week's just been a nightmare time-management-wise, and this weekend my brother-in-law is getting married. So not much posting from me at the moment, and I'm very sorry about that. :(
Wasp watches the swarm move toward Ziyad and Vhalas and sighs. "Right." She intones a brief prayer to Calistria, then draws her sword and moves to intercept the swarm.
It's worth pointing out that at present we don't have anyone who can channel positive energy.
Wasp tries to keep the remaining rat in sights with her cross bow as she waits for Den to drop the entangle spell. She's also smiling. "I suggest you tell my friend there what he wants to know," she says referring to Vhalas. "You don't want to have me repeat his questions for you."
Crap. Sorry I've been AWOL the last few days. Things got unexpectedly crazy on my end and I just haven't had the chance to post.
Wasp curses as her legs get entangled by the creeping vines, and swaps out for her crossbow, covering any of the rat-men she can see. None of my bolts are silver tipped - but they don't need to know that...
Hearing Vhalas yell, Wasp smirks. Sound plan. "You heard him! Surrender now or join your friends in a watery grave."
Sadly, I'm the wrong kind of caster - and most of my damaging spells are by touch. Sorry folks.
Oh by the Sweet Sting... Wasp turns her head to see the incoming swarm of insects, her expression one of exasperation.
She turns and scrambles up the nearby pile of debris, trying to move out of the path of the swarm, then continues on to slide down the other side. "Take one of them alive!"
Wasp gasps as the arrow tears across her shoulder, glances at the wound, then swiftly moves across the water, eyes flashing angrily. "Oh, no, you did not."
Even as she speaks, her whip lashing out toward the "greased" rat with a CRACK.
Wasp snatches up one of Vhalas' bottles of alchemical fire, and hurls it at the wererat standing in the area of the Grease spell.
Wasp realizes he's ill prepared to combat lycanthropes, and hangs back during the surprise round.
Sorry - again the past few days upended any semblance of regular routine.
He's been fighting cancer for the past few months. In the end it was too aggressive, and nothing could be done. Still, it was a sudden and very surprising end. |
