Take care of yourself and come back when you are ready. Thanks for letting us know!
Alyssa stares after the huge snake. "Heavy bows or crossbows maybe. But if you catch that thing in a net you'll be needing a new net." She turns to Valerie when she hears her query. "Should we try and drag the pieces ashore and see if any of the sunk boats can be repaired? Or head to the old Quay Stone works and see if that snake may be holed up there?"
Alyssa calls out "Careful! There's something BIG in the water!" She quickly casts Dancing Lights and send the floating lights into the water where she had seen the moving mass.
Seeing the damaged boats Alyssa scans the area for whatever had attacked. "Scan the area. If the attacker is gone we can pull the damaged boats ashore and try to repair them. If all of the pieces are brought together I have a mending spell prepared." Seeing Korliss moving in to the water for a boat Alyssa focuses on him and uses a protective hex on him. Protective Luck on Korliss.
Alyssa heads toward the sound of the children. When Jediah (Trevor?) points at the fox she replies, "Rei said she might send a fox. We can sort that out after the kids are safe."
Alyssa looks to Valerie to see how she responds to the call for help....
Alyssa is obviously split, but after thinking for a bit nods. "OK. But I'm going to send Little Bit to the north and see if she can see what is wrong. She's really smart for a bird...."
Alyssa nods to Korliss, "I'll leave little bit with you. She can understand your words and I'll know if she gets upset or scared. Everyone else that wants to go, let's check it out. I'm going to the north."
Alyssa just grins as Tarial attempts to match old man Cook's accent. She adds, "No questions sir. We'll watch over the eleven boats and the dock area. Thank you for the provisions."
Hearing Rei's name Alyssa scans the area for the young girl. "She seems younger than the rest of us. Maybe her family is keeping her safe. As small as she is maybe she could use one of the slings? I'll hold one for her and pass it along if I spot her."
Alyssa looks at the weapons and decides on one of the daggers. As weak as she is, physically, she very much hopes that she doesn't have to use it.
Alyssa looks around for other non-melee types and notices Tarial. "Tarial, Can you pair with me? I'm not a combatant so won't be right up in the fighting unless everything goes wrong...."
Finally spotting the others around the blacksmith, Alyssa joins the group. "We need to protect each other. Don't let anyone wander off. Everybody should pair up."
Alyssa accepts what her parents tell her. She was hoping for more, but the detail on the hermit might mean something. "Thank you. I think we need more, but maybe if we could just understand the symbols on the stone and the rod it would help. But there seems to be something missing. I'm going to go back out and find Valerie. The stone was in the Kvalheim's home. There might be more information somewhere."
I'm here. Now to read in the game thread....
Thinking that there may be information available about the symbols on the foundation, and the rod, Alyssa returns to copy both on some paper. She keeps them on separate lines. When the elders head to the hall Alyssa considers trying to sneak in or have her Familiar sneak in. She decides against it knowing she would be spotted and told to leave, and if Little Bit was noticed her folks would recognize the bird and be upset. She calls the bird to her and tells it to get some sleep. Alyssa knows she will have to sleep but the familiar can watch during the night hours, and more importantly, wake her through the empathic link they share.
Returning home: Alyssa returns to her home and waits for her parents. When they arrive she projects calm regardless of how she really feels. "What can you share? You know I'm not just a little girl anymore, and knowing more of what is going on means I'll have a better chance of surviving whatever is coming. Do you know of the magic on the foundation stone under the Kvalheim's house?"
Alyssa listens to the discussion and is stunned to hear the Fox clan mentioned as a founding family. She quietly mumbles to Reimaka "My family name is Fox. But.... Does that mean the Fox clan?" "Maybe I need to ask my folks."
Alyssa holds the rod close to the writing on the foundation and nods. "I don't have read magic or detect magic prepared, but yeah they do look similar."
Alyssa casts a cantrip to create some floating lights and moves over to the wall. "Words. Words on the stones. Words in the stones of the foundation, the circle of stones.... I don't know."
"If this woman in green is connected to a song from Grandma Jill's youth, she may be dangerous fey. Warning the hunters may not be enough. I think we need more information" She turns back to Jill, "Grandma Jill, do you remember where the first house was built? Where would we find the ring of stones or the first found foundation?"
Alyssa takes out the rod that had been with the stuff found. It hadn't been magical but had some symbols scribed on it that she was curious about.... "I wonder if this rod could have something to do with it? It didn't detect as magical or anything."
Alyssa moves up by the old elf lady."Grandma Jill? We need your knowledge. A group of us were in the forest trying to help Jennus. He had wandered from his task and abandoned his cart. When we found him he was being pulled into the ground by tree roots. There was something that looked like a green plant-man too. We killed the plant-man and rescued Jennus, but he said that a woman in a green dress with green gems in her hair had asked him to go to the tree and recover a bag for her. Does any of this sound familiar?"
Alyssa falls in with Korliss. "Tools certainly. But not fire in the forest! That's too dangerous."
Alyssa moves up beside Jennus, "Jennus, Relax. You didn't do anything wrong. The tree was dangerous and you just didn't know. We just want to be sure that the tree doesn't hurt anyone. So really, where did you see the pretty lady?"
"Right. That tree and the thing helping it was dangerous, but maybe it didn't look dangerous?"
"The tree still lives and is likely dangerous."
When Tarial starts trying to empty the bag, Alissa reaches for the rod with the strange symbols. "I wonder what this is. Strange symbols...."
Alyssa has no weapon or tool for chopping the tree down. She focuses on her friends. "Was anyone hurt? I can use a healing hex to help heal minor wounds."
Sorry for my absence. Was offline traveling. Does anyone have detect magic prepared? Might be worth checking on the rod. ??
Seeing the spores Alyssa backs away. Noticing that the zombie focused on Reimaka, she changes her protective luck hex to help Reimaka.
Unsure what she can do against a tree Alyssa calls out, "Try cutting the roots holding him. And don't get caught yourself!"
Alyssa calls her familiar to her as she follows the group. Being a bit suspicious about the sound she scans the woods to either side as they move.
Alyssa follows along with the group. When the cart is found she figures Jennus must have gotten distracted and wandered off. The scraps of cut cloth tell her this is more than just a distraction. "Are there any other tracks around? Did Jennus cut the cloth himself?" She sends Little Bit up to look around and calls out to any local birds asking if they saw Jennus or any other creatures today.
"I'll come along. I can ask the birds to help find him. And if the cart is broken I can help mend it!"
Alyssa sees the child about to stumble into the cakes and immediately starts chuckling, but then uses her Feral Speech hex to enable her to speak with birds and calls out for help. As she stands and walks toward the table she calls out for any birds to come over and swoop down around the boy. "Birds! Come fly by Willie and get his attention. Have fun but stay out of his reach...."
Alyssa listens to the others as she chews on the stem of a long stalk of grass. Glancing around she wishes that she had magic to make some of the festival stuff look.... more like a festival! When Jeanuel mentions his parents she just sighs. It would be nice to still have parents! "Hopefully paying work! But it will depend on what coin is still in the village, not lost in the woods or down the privy...."
WooHoo! Let the fun begin!
Wednesday? Well, if the weather permits I will try to teach the kids of the village about the woods by taking them out to play hide and seek. And I only ask the birds to show me where they are hiding if they don't come back when called.
Didn't want to presume, or choose some goofy 'human' name like "Foxy the fox".... Draco the dragon! But animals have to have some way to differentiate between each other. Otherwise how would the alpha be able to order the individuals of his herd/murder/flock/etc around?
I think that'd be fun, except that is assuming that we're selected for the game.... :) Hey Rei,
That just makes you the friendly mute fox. And while I do have a high Diplomacy and knowledge-nature, I don't have handle animal....
That looks like an interesting mix. Haven't looked at character sheets to see if anyone is skill monkey. (No rogue!?!) I did give myself a staff. Figured as a wood carver/carpenter I should be able to carve myself a walking stick that could be used as a weapon. Maybe I should talk to the metal workers in town and see about getting metal ends for it? One sharp to use as a spear? Hey Rei. Do you speak fox? You'll be the only animal in the area that never responds to me when I talk to it! :) (Feral Speech hex!)
Thanks for the correction. I was going for a polyglot of whatever languages I could have learned by what people are in town. Could I have learned Sylvan? Panic, What other languages might be available? I could switch out one skill rank to add one more. So far I chose: Common, Draconic (for the lizardfolk), Dwarf, Slyvan (for the Kitsune), Gnome If you spot any other mistakes please let me know. I gave up trying for total infallibility long ago!
This is Lemming. Change of plans, not a shaman but a witch with a protection/healing focus. CS on this alias. And for the 1-3 CP?
