Aria nods to Mardoni. "That about sums it up. Though I'd like to know more of what the rest of you were doing here..... Things might have gone better for us if we had had this meeting before, but I digress from the matter at hand. What we can do now and from this point to see our missions fulfilled."
Aria is relieved when she senses the message spell surround them. "Thank you for that."
After Cindy has rejoined them, "To be fair, I suppose I should divulge the additional mission that has brought some of us to this fair town." She gives a knowing look to her co-conspirators in that regard. "At least then, we as a group will be able to coordinate our efforts."
Aria also lets Skyfire search the room, in places high and low where only tiny creatures can fit. "The mages." She sighs. "I thought we had left them far behind, but I suppose we'll continue to find them everywhere." She places her pack down and begins reaching for her spellbook and flips through it a few times. "And I only have combat spells in here. I don't suppose you have anything that will help us with some more privacy?"
"That is very kind of you to say. To be honest, he finds you beautiful as well." Skyfire perks up its head and makes a trilling sound. She accepts the block of wood and moves to find the room the lady had lent them. She allows Cindy to go ahead of them with her magical sight.
Aria considers the woman's proposition. "Perhaps a combination would be best. Do you have a suite suitable for several traveling companions? Some place with quiet and privacy?" Skyfire seems curious about the woman's tattoos and spreads his colorful wings to glide over to her.... Aria makes a small growling sound in her throat and the colorful lizard curls up around her neck again.
Aria bows her head as she bids her farewell to Janay and any other servants nearby (though she does not truly acknowledge them as is more in fitting with the noblewoman she is pretending to be.)
Aria and Skyfire begin searching for The Storms Blessing as a hopefully more reputable establishment than the inn on the cliff.
Has anyone heard from Aerin's player in a while?
As I mentioned in the game thread, I'm seriously just following Aerin's lead until we can get to a safe and secure location where we can discuss these tactics (and some other things that need to be mentioned) without being overheard by npcs or enemies.
Aria looks over the documents, but stands back so Aerin can examine them more closely, or anyone else who is more experienced in trade matters than herself.
"If I may be so blunt, Ms. Dansen, these figures are a little.... glowing. If I might have a better understanding of the risks involved with your enterprise, it would give me a much better idea of how much and in what way I could invest." While she is more or less direct, Aria attempts to be diplomatic.
"Forgive me, Ms. Dansen, diplomacy is not my strongest suit. With my military training, I prefer to be more direct."
"I see. Thank you for the recommendation. We and our companions have a lot of things to discuss." She looks over the papers and allows a slight look of disapproval over her face. She tries to point out her discovery to Aerin without giving away that she caught on to the misdirection/deception.
Aria nods at the exchange. "We and our traveling companions shall need a private location to stay for a time while we deliberate over any new information. The local inn is, regrettably, not secure enough for discrete conversation." She appears to be thinking carefully over the information that Ms. Dansen has provided. "Ms. Dansen, I would like to know your opinions in regards to the other merchants. Master Sorrin, for example." Aria watches carefully for any visual cues or telltale signs Ms Dansen gives.
Aria leans back, content to let Aerin do the negotiating for the group. (It wasn't her strongest suit in any event.) She attempts to take on a bored but wealthy look of an aristocratic air.
Aria rubs a finger along the edge of a piece of furniture next to her, then examines her finger as though inspecting it for dust. She does not really look up at the steward when she speaks next. "I would also like to ascertain Ms Dansen's opinion of her merchant alliances and trade agreements. As you might understand, these are rather delicate matters."
Aria nods her head in agreement with Aerin, keeping a wary eye on the merchant's steward. "And of course, there are matters of a delicate nature that can only be communicated with the lady herself."
Aria stands still in a slightly imposing manner, a tactic she had picked up from her military training, though she is not without grace.
"The merchant contact is a safe enough place to start." Aria nods. Skyfire takes to the sky from his perch on Aria's shoulder as though a secret sign had been given, searching for any visual cues for the Merchant House.
Have a great time!
Aria also looks around and setting her tactical mind to work, nods to Cindy. "Agreed. Have you found accomodation yet?"
Aria makes all the proper introductions, and steps out of the dwarf's way with a graceful sweep bordering on arrogance. She momentarily steps out off the cliff and levitates there with a barely noticeable flick of her little finger.
"It is good to see that the Merchant's Guild is still hiring the seasoned and experienced." She turns back to Cindy. "Learned any good spells? We must compare our notes sometime."
Aria wrinkles her nose a little, but otherwise nods her head. "Aye, the Merchants seem to have a lot of business these days. It's better than not having any at all, or a major war going on, I imagine." She pauses for a moment as she thinks about what to say next. "I am sorry I had to leave the group so abruptly in the midst of our chase. I had received a message from a friend and I was needed immediately. Captain Silvers is doing fairly well though." She blushes a little at the mention of the handsome captain's name.
"Cindy? Is that you?! You survived!" For a moment Aria drops her traditional military stiffness as she sees the familiar face.
Aria's profile/character sheet should be updated now.
Ah, so it is. Sorry, been awhile. :)
Huzzah! for hitpoints. Can I have any extra equipment from the level difference?
I am glad to see this campaign still up. It was one of the funner ones... :P
Sure... Though I haven't had much time for Paizo gaming lately, I hope I will in the future. :)
My apologies, everyone. Work has been completely insane the past few weeks, I've been pulling double shifts since they refused to hire someone for their new department. I completely understand that you need a replacement, but hopefully I can retire Aria officially and bring her back in for a week or so if you should need her in the future (another player needs a break, for example). There's a lot I need to learn still about strategic gameplay.
I have lost my internet connection at home, unfortunately, and am posting from the library. I can get there only about once a week, so I may have to drop out. The internet connection problem is being worked on, but it does not look like there's an end in sight.
Aria follows, double moving east.
Aria moves towards the invisible enemy. , attempting to spot any type of movement that might indicate the enemy's presence.
Is the person we're trying to grapple small? Or medium-sized?
The spider, sadly, is sick with the flu.
Aria moves towards the villain chasing Vados and with a small storm of electrical energy releases her signature lightning bolt at the invisible man, ensuring that she is at an angle that does not include Vados.
electrical damage
Aria whispers back, "No, stay safe. The guards are here, and we still have a few of the crossbowmen from the merchants' guild. As to what's going on, I'm not sure. I expected the enemy would run away at their next possibility."
Aria double moves towards the guards, holding up her license to kill so they can see she is unarmed (at least no weapon in her hand).
Aria retrieves the said documents and begins moving toward the guards, floating harmlessly to the ground with her feather fall ability.
No, but the summoned creatures continue to attack...
Aria will slip down into the shadows, west of the building she's on top of, then curve around (offscreen) to the east, or whatever way the others are going with their prizes.
Seeing that some actions are finally being resolved, and the question of leniency or subtle preponderance was finally answered, Una swiftly relays Shiv's message to the group. "I think its time to count our victories and leave while the getting is good. We can question the unconscious one later, and find out exactly what's going on, and decide then how we can best stop it. Vayga, help him carry the body. With just one person dragging it around, we'll be slowed down for sure."
Skyfire returns to Aria's shoulder, and she attempts to remain hidden, listening to what conversation is imparted to her through message and other means. Aria and Skyfire also delay, waiting to see whether or not anyone will surrender, or if the fight continues. The air elemental attacks a final time, and then dissipates into thin air.
The spider spits a web at the enemy in the fountain.
Question: If the summoner moved did the air elemental get an attack of opportunity?.
