ZZ and Celestra: Since Alana won't be continuing in the campaign, I'd like to just say that before disappearing in the middle of the night, Alana wrote Celestra a letter telling her that it was time for her to go, the road was calling her but she didn't want to take Celestra away from so important of a journey as she was on. She cherished the time the spent together, and will never forget Celestra.
Alana casts Spectral Hand.

Alana makes her way forward so that she can reach Harry and casts Enlarge Person while the Ogres waste time chit chatting.
Alana falls to the back of the group as they make their way towards the where the conversation is coming from.
"If it is destruction that they want."
"Indeed, my love. I should think that they must have someone keeping them together, working them towards a goal or nefarious design."
Alana speaks up, "With many beasts, when there are but a few the problems are minimal but when too many nest together in one location they become increasingly aggressive. Perhaps it is something similar that is happening here with these ogres?"
"Quite impressive, indeed."
"Indeed, she seems to have him so far."
Alana watches and listens from her spot, amused by the ingenuity of Alietha's plan and quite pleased to see it working so well.
Then we have a deal...we you can heal, than you can also give me power, do it now, little human.
Alana looks down at Celestra from her ceiling perch and returns her lover's smile, "Well, as much as I enjoy sharing, he'll be sad to know I'm not interested!"
Alana casts Hideous Laughter on the ogre.
Alana casts spider climb and crawls up onto the ceiling, moving forward to a position where she will be able to cast at the ogre, ideally avoiding her allies.
Alana will move forward to just behind and to the side of Ailetha. She'll hold any other action at this point, as it seems likely the Ogre isn't going to make it through these attacks and she doesn't have a clear line of sight on him anyway.
Alana casts Mage Armor on Karlan and then steps past him and out of his way (behind the staircase on the map), attempting to clear the way for the fighters.
Alana nods to what the men have to say and casts Detect Magic as a way of giving it a cursory glance. She smiles warmly at Celestra's encouragement.
"... shall we check the cells individually?" Alana looks displeased by the notion, yet somehow still curious and willing.
"Sounds like a grand adventure!"
"My love you underestimate your self. You were doing quite well for yourself before meeting me, I am sure you could manage this and much harsher ones had you not met me. That is, of course, not to say that I am not overjoyed that I did find my way into your life. It was rather lucky that I happened to be in the right place at the right time!"
Alana listens intently as Harry and Ailetha describe what they found. Nodding her head in thought. She awaits to hear what direction their sea sick leader will set for them next.
"You are not alone in that, Marek. Although you do appear to be much drier for your attempt than I." she says with a reassuring smile. She does her best to ignore the fisherman's discomfort, she's grown accustomed to having people respond poorly to her preferences in company. She stands her ground, staying close to Celestra, but avoids giving the man any further reason to be alarmed or become upset.
Alana smiles and pulls Celestra closer to her side before kissing her cheek.
Alana uses Detect Magic to find the rough location of Harry and Ailetha. She points out where they are to Celestra, "Perhaps you can say a prayer, or seek some favor from your god to help them along their way?"
Alana wraps a comforting arm around Celestra's waist, "I am sure they will be fine, my love. Harry is a strong fighter, and Ailetha provides excellent support."
"My love, I think Harry is getting quite tired of a lot of things lately."
Alana has a quizzical look on her face at first, but she quickly realizes her lovers attempt at flattery and smiles. Once she is able to speak she tells her, "No, it was much too dark. I saw no hints of magic before I got in the water."
Alana is chilled to the bone and shivering as she takes the fisherman's hand to help pull herself aboard the ship. Her teeth chatter so she makes no attempt to answer the man's rhetorical question, but simply nods her head a bit in response.
Alana flushes momentarily, taken unexpectedly by Celestra's outpouring of praise and affection. "Oh, well thank you, my love."
Alana smiles warmly and returns Celestra's kiss, gentle as a caress. "I do admit the I am a bit frightened, being away from solid land, but I would not dream of abandoning you mu love, nor the rest of the group. I have found myself in far more dangerous predicaments and have managed through, as I am sure I will for this, too. It is a silly thing, really, rather like a child being afraid of the dark, I suppose." Alana allows her eyes to relax, and go slightly out of focus for a moment as she calls upon the arcane to give her eyes the ability to see an magics that are abound in the waters below. (She casts Detect Magic)
Alana seems more on edge, and more apt to cling to Celestra's hand once they've left dry land. She whispers nervously to her lover, "I have never been much good at swimming. I do not know, I suppose I just never liked the idea of not being able to see the sky above me and feel the ground below me. What about you, my love, do you enjoy this sort of thing?"
Alana follows the along, tossing a worried look back over her shoulder at the man who thinks setting trees afire is an appropriate way to signal his men.
"Maybe you could make sure of it without, you know, actually killing the guy? He is trying to help, after all, in his own way?" The look on Alana's face is hopeful, trustful, and perhaps a bit naive.
Alana speaks quietly, quietly enough that Celestra sitting so close to her might be the only one to hear her, "Make sure that brute doesn't go around burning down trees."
Alana looks absolutely appalled, her whole body tenses, and her voice sounds tight and constrained, "No, you must not set any trees on fire."
Alana listens as both Harry and Ailetha take turns answering her question aimed at Karlan, her usual pleasant look on her face, but it is clear that she was truly asking what Karlan would have them do, and it is his answer that seems to satiate her curiosity. Having had her answers, she turns to smile warmly at Celestra's presence, returning her lovers hand squeeze.
Alana sits quietly, smiling politely and sipping her drink. "What would you have these men do, Sir Karlan?"
Alana goes deathly quiet as they approach the site of so much death and suffering. She begins to tremble outwardly as the rage she feels inside sweeps through her inwardly. She squats down next to a fallen eagle, gently she reaches out and lets her fingertips caress the feathers. Alana looks up at the group, with fire in her eyes and steel in her quiet voice she says only, "This must be stopped." She remains quiet after that, following the group but looking determined.
So can I take my level up now as a level in Druid? How would the magics work mixed together? Would I get to pick an animal companion? |
