Unit 2
Assent given by her teammates, Wynnie approaches Shifty-eye, "Is there anything else you can tell us about the kids before we head that way?"

Wynnie turns to look to her teammates. "You two up for looking into some missing kids?" She lets it quickly become obvious which of the missions she finds most important.
Wynnie flashes Malachai a smile, feeling a little less grim herself, "Glad to hear it! Probably should check if they've got some work for us soon."
"A pleasure, Malachi. We were beginning to wonder if you were going to show, considering how long some people stay. I'm Wynnie."
Wynnie wonders for a moment what would make the guards the better option, then ponders her own reasons. "So you think this Malachi will show soon?"
Wynnie enters the break room and seeing Janus makes her way over to sit near him. She does her best to keep a smile on her face, suppressing the dark feelings. "Morning, Janus. Nice weather today, huh? Looks like they changed the assignments again. Looks like we're on the same unit again. Nice to see a familiar face, even if they are becoming less common."
Still lurking. As much as a paladin with power armor can lurk.
Unit 2 "And I'll need a quiet place to don my armor for battle. Will take but a minute, but I need uninterrupted silence for it, and preferably where those on the boat will not be able to see me."
Unit 2
Unit 2 "Well then, Unit 2, shall we head out?" Assuming everyone agrees, begin heading that way.
Unit 2 (At Guardhouse) "The Half-orc was hired by a person named Hollins with the Orphan's Aid Society. They were to escort the, um, 'merchandise', to a boat named the Kraken's Revenge. He never actually saw Hollins, only his associate Grizz, a gnoll. According to Ignot, Hollins is only a lieutenant in the organization."
Just giving you a heads-up that at the end of this month (July 31), I'll be leaving town for two weeks for work. I don't know the status of an available internet connection while I'll be gone, or how much free time I'll have, but I'll post as able. After that, I'll only be back for a day before heading to Gencon afterwards, getting back home late the 19th. So between those two dates I'll be sporadic at best, possibly unavailable. Sorry for any inconveniences this may impose.
Unit 2 Wynnie nods. "Sounds like it. Let's head out."
The half orc looked at Wynnie in disbelief. "No care about law. Law not so bad. Get dead iffen I tell you anything. Dead bad."
"Dead is bad, but we can help you, if you are only willing to cooperate."
Unit 2 While Goliath prepares his alchemical mixture, Wynnie prepares to have a go with the prisoner when he awakes. "Well hello there, Mister...?" "Let's talk about what happened. You had a bunch of crates with kids in them. This is fact, we found them. Now I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of stories about not knowing what was in them, but ignorance is no excuse for the law." "So let's discuss our options. Right now, if this was some other part of town, you'd get a magistrate to decide your judgement and all that. But we're not in some other part of town. We're here in the Warrens. That means right now you're pretty much facing execution." "Now I'm a reasonable woman. I don't want to kill anyone if I can help it. Not going to lie, selling kids off, I really don't like that. But I'm not after you, you're just a minor thug. I'm after whoever you work for." "So this is what I'm recommending. Just tell me what you know, and I'm sure there's something we can work out."
Unit 2 "A good plan, but be careful you two. No heroics without the rest of us." Wynnie will then proceed to lead the group back, dismissing the spider in the process.
Unit 2 Wynnie will set to work helping get the crates open. "Listen to him, it's for your own good."
Happy early birthday to the young'un!
Unit 2
Unit 2 Taking a hit, Wynnie grows increasingly frustrated with her attackers, returning the strike with deadly force.
I think we've found our strategy, Janus. I'll wildly swing my sword around to distract them, you stick a knife in 'em while they watch.
Unit 2 "Bad idea," Wynnie exclaims at the remaining guards as the one reaching into the crate goes down, striking one of the others.
Unit 2
Seeing the one heading for the crates, Wynnie bolts after him.
Unit 2 Wynnie strikes out at the guard, "I recommend you surrender."
Unit 2 Seeing Janus beckon, Wynnie follows suit through the window.
After summoning the spider to go around the far side, Wynnie sneaks behind Janus, staying back abit, waiting for the signal to come in.

"Here's my plan. I'll summon a Celestial Spider and have it knock on a window on the far side of the building. Hopefully the sight of it will cause enough panic that when Akhil, Goliath and Brenog bust in the front door they'll be caught unprepared. While you three head in that way, Janus and I will take the closer window and try to help the, ahem, 'merchandise' out. Thoughts?"
"It could help, if we can evacuate the victims first. Just be careful."
So know we are all muscle and a tiny skill monkey detective XD awesome. He can just hide between everyone's legs, then lash out as needed at people from surprise!
"People? Yes, we definitely need to accomplish this task quickly then." She looks down at Janus as he's assigned to their unit. "Looks like I'm not the shortest amongst us now at least. Pleasure Janus, my name's Wynnie. Let's be off, shall we?"
Janus Draugur reporting for duty!!alright, cool. You'll be temporarily assigned to Unit 2. Yay, someone shorter than me!
Then get in there and join your unit, soldier! We got a job to do! Move it, move it!
Wynnie looks worried at the missing unit member. "I hope he didn't run into trouble or anything. But yes, we better head out."
Wynnie is alarmed at first, before she comes to find out this is another member of her unit. Sizing him up, she once again feels small amidst these giants. She smiles as she greets, "Well, if nothing else, you're big. A please to have you on the team."
Wynnie approaches Captain Turnsdale, realizing that thus far only her and Brenog have identified themselves thus far. "Wynnie of Unit 2 reporting, Sir!"
"Hard to say. Of course as long as we can do some good, that's the important thing."
Wynnie looks over the fellow, noting his armor and and mount. She gives him a polite smile. "Wynnie of Nuestra, and it does appear so. I did not expect to find another here. It will be a pleasure to work with you." She looks about the room for a moment. "I do wonder about the other two, considering they have not yet responded. I do hope they are not deaf. "
Wynnie stood at attention, listening to the captain's orders. It was a fight to get stationed here, her father still not in agreement with her decision. But this is where she could make a difference. The captain's description of the boarding house, gave her a few chills. She had already decided she would live as another of the watch, but she gave pause to reconsider for a moment. No, she would stay true to her convictions. Even with the roaches. Looking at the others assembled, she began to realize how out of place she felt. Most, if not all, were taller than she, a mere 5'2", the sword she carried strapped to her back almost as tall as she was. Her grandfather's blade was heavy, but she had begun to grow used to it. Running a hand through her short cut blond hair, she walks over to see who she was to work with. "Brenog, Goliah, Akhil?" She calls aloud.
Completely agree with you Brenog. I'd say we're the SWAT unit here, lol.
Wynnie checking in, ma'am!
Trying to more fully integrate Wynnie. From the reading I would think she would be from Shaelin's Landing district originally. I'm curious as to how big the Quorum is. I'd be interested in Wynnie's father being a member.
I play a lore oracle in my friends table-top game that is kind of a turtle (though I still move 30'). I can't hit anything really, but our DM does get annoyed at me. One of our tactics when fighting big things is me running through threatened areas to provoke all the AoOs so the squisher people can move in. The 17 AC barbarian and 21 AC Magus appreciate it when my 34 AC Oracle buffs, triggers the attacks, and they can get in unimpeded.
Dotting. Just an FYI, I realized I had given myself skill points as though fifth level for some reason. I've adjusted them down to third. Not sure what I was thinking when I did that. |
