Ano unleashes her fury, yowling as she plunges her rapier into a ghoul’s skull.

Despite taking some hits, Ano endures, attacking in fury.
Ano prepares to strike at the ghoul charging, but she suddenly returns to normal size, causing her attack to whiff badly as she focuses on maintaining her footing.
Merry Christmas!!!
Ano holds onto her rapier with anticipation, making sure they aren't ambushed by any ghouls.
"Cherry, can you fly back to Sandpoint and speak to Father Zantus? It may increase our chances of saving these people by having him come here, while we go on ahead to the Misgivings." Ano, despite her temporary size and distortion, tries to object, but the cardinal nods, and takes off flying back to town. “I really don’t like him flying on his own at night…” Ano mutters.
Despite her decrease in size, Ano’s bloodrage immediately activates, and she becomes a blur as she charges at the ghoul.
So this is how I plan for Ano to cast magic for a bit-as if she barely has any control over the magic she can cast.
“This is a trap. I can smell the rot of ghoul from two scarecrows down the way. I don’t know how many scarecrows there are, and how many are ghouls. But we need to stick close and keep an eye out. You never know what will-” Suddenly her spots rapidly flash, and with a yelp, Ano shrinks. “Wha-what happened? Why are you all taller?”
Juriya asks something out of nowhere "Ano. Do you know what your maternal grandparents look like?" Ano’s ears folded. “No. I never met them. My aunt told me stories about my grandparents, but that’s all I know about them. My m-Fosyo-didn’t want me to go to Magnimar at all, so I never got the chance to visit them.” ”Ano, do you feel fatigued after useing your abilities? I do after mine. Probably... like I expect a drug hangover would be?” “Every single time. Unfortunatley I can’t really control when it will and won’t show up.”
Ano tenses up, she tries to scout out the area with her nose.
Ano blinked, “Magic? I mean, I don’t…I kinda feel like there’s magic in me? But I don’t know how to cast it.” Internally, she’s panicking. She’s hoping you-know-who won’t ever catch her casting magic. Sandpoint will go through more hell in that case. And that is not something this town needs right now.
Ano awoke to something jabbing her face; she groggily snarled at whoever was the cause of it, only to discover it was Cherry. "Come on, Ano! You're going to oversleep! The others are downstairs!" the bird chirped, already fluttering down to the room. The bird lands on Donimah's shoulder. The catfolk pulled herself together, washing her face and getting prepared. Every now and then, a sharp pain would come from a random spot, and said spot would flash blue for a moment. She asked as she walked down, "Hey, anyone know what's going on? A random spot on me keeps flashing blue and I-" She pauses when she notices Alicia's claws. "Wait...are you going through something similar to me?" As for Juriya's question, Ano remarks, "Let's take the farm first. If there's any farmers left in the area we can save them before anything else. Plus, less ghouls, less danger for Sandpoint."
NOW Ano can cast spells!
Ano drags herself home, setting Cherry on his little nest on the dresser, and promptly collapses on her bed. Throughout her sleep, her spots repeatedly glow a faint sheen of blue, as she has an odd dream about fire from her fingers and primal power spilling out of her very existence.
Ano looks at Arrian and speaks, sounding more dead than alive, “I think I’m just going to head home. If I stay awake any longer I’m going to sleep on the street…” Cherry is already sleeping soundly on her shoulder.
Ano wants to chime in, being a child who lost her father…but this isn’t the time. She knows it isn’t. Plus, with how on edge she is, she might let more of her emotions out than needed. So the catfolk holds her tongue.
Ano immediately breaks her silence. “Absolutely not. You should be considered lucky we got here in time. Those ghouls will not spare you or your baby. We promise, we’ll get you to a place where you and your baby will be safe.”
Ano doesn’t put away her rapier, instead she keeps her eyes peeled for any danger coming.
Ano stands alongside Alicia and Arrian, striking at the first ghoul to come at her...but misses badly. Readied Action:
Guys. That’s Cherry.
Ano may be tired, but she’s not going to let an innocent woman be ghoul food. She unsheathes her rapier and readies for the rest to charge.
Reversed the changes to Ano's character since we haven't leveled up until a rest
I’m gonna have to reedit my character sheet later to reflect that
Ano takes off with Ethan, pacing herself, not only to keep herself as exhaustion free as possible, but to not get ahead of Ethan and get lost.
I think half?
The second Ano hears that a family is in danger, she bolts out the door, immediately trying to find the moth.
Ano stares at the moth as it flitters on into the night. She sighs heavily, and heads inside. "Well...what are we going to do?" she asks in mental exhaustion.
Outside, unbeknownst to the others, Ano looked up at the stars and the moon. Desna…I feel lost. More murders are happening, they are taking lives like how it was years ago. We know where to go to stop, but I don’t have the strength to push on now. I want nothing more than to stop this madman…but if I falter he could run free and kill more. But if I go forth we shall be exhausted and vulnerable. I can’t fail…I can’t…what do I do?
I vouche to rest before we head to the Misgivings.
Might replace magic missile with shield. Still keeping reduce person because I feel like that would be good to have in case the fight gets more serious for Ano’s Dex build: Dex boost + size reduction = even better AC, plus better attack rolls, and with Fencing Grace her Dex for damage is better.
I got an appointment later but afterwards I gotta update Cherry’s stats. But one more level and he can be a fairie dragon!
Same with Ano Wait level 6…I get to cast spells! I forget, do bloodragers get full caster level, or caster level equal to bloodrager level - 3?
Ano stays silent. In fact, she walks outside, sitting outside of the building to try and find any stars to look at.
Are we back?
Ano sighs in relief as she sees Redmane taking care of Grayst. She notices Jumb jotting down notes, and...not expecting that, she gave a little chuckle. Not in a demeaning way, it was honestly kind of cute-a little light she needed in these dark times.
Ano glares at the others in confusion seeing Grayst still alive. "Wait...he's still...what happened to mercy killing him?!" she spits out, her patience running thin tonight.
Sandpoint:
Sandpoint: Ano sighs when she realizes who’s coming along with them. “In desperste times, beggars can’t be choosers.” She replies to her half orc friend.
In Sandpoint: "Sheriff, I understand your worries, but someone needs to investigate the Sanitarium. We have no idea how much Habe has been working for the killer, or how much he's known. Nor do we know what other atrocities he's committed if he's willing to let a man slowly become a ghoul, instead of killing him like any rational person would do."
With Arrian and Hemlock: Ano rushes inside, taking a cup of coffee offered. She normally isn't big on it but she needs something warm to drink-her stomach is still a little iffy from that magic.
"The thing is, Grayst was attacked by the murderer, and...the murderer seems to be a ghoul. Because Grayst was turning into one before our eyes. I don't want to imagine what would happen to Arrian if..." The amurrun took a sigh and resumed, "That's not all. Habe knew Grayst contracted ghoul fever...and he was on talking terms with a necromancer. Habe knew the whole time-Grayst having the fever, meeting the murderer, the murderer being a ghoul. But kept quiet. Until we showed up."
Yeah, that’s why Urgathoa is considered one of Pharasma’s biggest enemies-undeath itself happened because Urgathoa ditched her judgement day, became the first undead being and constantly makes more undead to spite Pharasma.
Ano sighs internally, Please don’t be drunk, please don’t be drunk, please… “Sheriff you need to come with us to the Sanetorium, now.””
Ano sighs, realizing she can't talk Arrian into letting her go alone. They both take off, with Cherry following them. "Hey, what's going on?" the bird asked. When Ano didn't respond, he flew next to Arrian and asked, "What happened? She seems upset."
Ano’s fur bristled a little, “Arrian, I appreciate that but, I can handle myself.” Sense Motive DC DM Call: Ano is very upset that she was useless in the last fight and is trying to make up for it.
"Let me," Ano volunteered, "I can get there faster. Plus I need to walk out some...frustrations."
