Barnabus is often surprised by the edge in this woman's voice as if she has long used it as a weapon even the edge to the word commoner so full of disdain...... "A man is common only when he believes himself to be...." ....though Barnabus knows that the most unassuming appearance may house a very dangerous foe, the assassins, the faceless men are such and they can be as any, an important lesson are they.
"Certainly we should speak to the man and simply hear what he has to say, certainly unless he is well versed in deception we will learn much of what we need."
"So tha plan was tah leave us out there alone until we too became corpses, for shame...."...chides Barnabus
I believe Noriel and I are bring the body to the fort....
"Perhaps we should purchase some actual materials for yer future endeavors....." Barnabus laughs and takes over guard duty.. "How taxed will you be on this journey?"
"Rhasha will not be pleased, but perhaps they ave received a lead upon tha perpetrator o tha act an trust tha we could bring tha remains to tha cleric fer proper rites."
Barnabus is lost in his thoughts as time goes on, finally he turns to Noriel....
Sounds good.
We might consider getting some oils of gentle repose just in case...
"I assume tha normal decay is somethin tha ranger knows well, enough an they wanted us to stay an wait. Perhaps we ken find a way tah pass tha time?"
Witch. Hands down. Otherwise your expected to be a healbot.
Aye we all ave differin views on tha nature o tings, on tha right an tha wrong tha is faced; other ancient forces note tha passin o mortal life as sand through tha hourglass a stream o constant pace."
"fear not in tha day, if tha others err correct, an even if not such beasts prefer tah bump about in tha night."
Back near the body....
@Jirani
Barnabus thinks deeply, that his summons before could be viewed with equal suspicion, he had just warned of monsters in their midst and disease infested bites....
"Protection, surely mah talents err not o tha sort one would want in a bodyguard. " "Unless tha shifter has flight I ken fly back tah tha camp an avoid tha trouble, if need be."
"I will remain." Barnabus sets by the girls body...
"Perhaps we should ask Dyfrig jus how early he sent her out tah gather tha berries, it could have been afore tha dawn."
"I see no movement, though had it time to feed it is likely long gone. I will stay in tha tree so as tah not muss yer tracking." Barnabus casts detect magic into the area of the trees...
Barnabus sets himself in the tallest tree attempting to get a lay of the land...
Barnabus flies towards the figure to both get a better look and to survey from a bird's eye view..... Perception "Let me get a good look."
Barnabus enjoys the walk watching his companions about their normal routines. Lothar moving with lithe agility created by mastery of himself and Rhasha who moved as one with nature creating a path that mirrored Lothar.... Jirani walked with purpose like the ungiving stone that makes a path through whatever is before it.... Barnabus walked the magic of hexes crying for release the power of magic contained in his vessel. "We have found her!" Barnabus takes flight towards the figure...
Barnabus shakes his head....
Ahh the ebb and flow of real life....
Barnabus finds that Dyfrig has brought him breakfast so that he will not venture back to the tent again so soon.... Sitting in a tree he eats his meal....
Was going to check the guard stations and for wounded, but can just move to morning....
I posted to invite Jirani to walk the perimeter of the camp with me before nightfall......
Barnabus finishes cleaning up and presents the mop back to Dyfrig.
Barnabus kneels in front of Dyfrig the mop across his open palms... "Do you swear to uphold the land and swear fealty to wield this mop against all enemies both foreign and domestic that our kingdom shall face?" "Wield this weapon as the griffon with wisdom, Sir Dyfrig!" Leaving the tent Barnabus sees the others as dinner has ended and soon night must fall into darkness, he decides to check the perimeter defenses and check upon the men there....
"Ho hearty an brave men, I ave come tah see if any signs o trouble err wounds err afflictions weaken err trouble yer number."
"Aye I ave jus tha magic in mind fer tha task! How sturdy is tha tent?" Barnabus laughs and takes tha mop....
Mops up the mess....
Barnabus eventually acts as if nothing at all had happened.... He lays out pieces of string......and lays them such that cross repeatedly over each other.. He points at each place where one string touches another... "Imagine each is a decision and each a choice once made you can follow only one string, the others are lost, the options faded away in a moment o time. Imagine the man trained long and hard not to be caught unawares, did you see a man unsurprised by tha goblin dogs? I did, Lothar remained ready, yet tha others did not. Be then as Lothar always ready."
Barnabus knows his reputation should be for healing.... "Hast true harm befallen any in this camp?...Mah healin hex is known it binds flesh and mends bone, my callin is tah heal an keep safe tha peoples o tha land."
"Aye! But tha running o tha rats ken become tha first tradition o tha kingdom!" Barnabus cackles loudly... "Rats o tha normal sort are more a danger as Harbinger's o plague, in tha mess tent tha cooks will never forget this lesson. Look deeper into mah actions an you will see much."
"Summoned creatures do as tha beconers commands. No danger to anyone is in this. These folk will one day see worse tings. It is mah job in part they are prepared. Nancy is learning." The rats are only for five rounds, only two of which involved running the tent....
"An attack could come at any moment an in any form, fate favors tha prepared, an wha did yah learn from tha goblin whelps?" Barnabus waits for anyone to answer.... "Could not such err worse descend upon our heads at any moment? "
Of course not...but real monsters attack during meals....
I wonder why people are not lining up in droves to have training from Barnabus???? The strange tales no doubt abound....
"Animals only? Or do you not know?....." Barnabus considers her and decides he can aid her.... Casts summon monster 3.....
Goblin dogs... "Observe and learn, Nancy." The creatures appear feral with the stench of overgrown sewer rats, with red beady eyes and sharp teeth, Barnabus has them rampage through the tent around the edges and under the tables....though they attack no one. "These err goblin dogs, bred fer war an tha horses o goblin raiders, swift deadly carrying verulent pestilence in their bite an upon thar skin." Barnabus bring the rats to a halt inches in front on Nancy to gauge her reaction.....
For some reason a bunch of posts didn't show up, so I saw nothing, it was lothars post here that made me look in the game thread....
Barnabus takes an interest in the girl Nancy who seem to have an affinity to animals....
The driving rain and cold felt to Barnabus like a loss of his mortality and a becoming one with the divine, he let the horses be taken away, a bit later he went to borrow the girl named Nancy from her home....
Barnabus arrives a bit later to the feast, having walked the horses to the stable first.... He ate in silence and watched the girl, headstrong and not afraid of the storm or armed persons....
Barnabus liked watching Lothar do his thing and instruct his student. Barnabus brought Nancy to watch as well hoping to help the girl discover her path. He suspected that such a girl might fit under Rhashas woodlore....
My bad, I did an edit of my post.
"Tha an a witches brew an I will be set for tha evenin, well a spot in front o tha hearth." The witch likes the pelting of the rain and storms he soaks it in as if it is divine inspiration and to see what he can learn from the experience. Pats his mount, "I fear tah speak to tha horses, fer I am certain they too are ready fer tha dry straw o stables."
Barnabus listens and smiles....better companions would be hard to come by.... "How looks tha road ahead?"
Any word on why you tried aggressive planking?
This is my witch from a KM game, I have my origins in being raised by a coven of hags in the hook tongue..... We just started book 2, I am hoping the DM incorporates something cool for me later on.
That is an uber scary idea Lothar ...wonder twin powers activate....
"Good offensive maneuvers lads, tha ambush o feminine wiles was thwarted....fer now!"
"You ladies err tha danger lurking outside!"
Actually Sunset is mine now. I have taken her away to my kingmaker game. I keep hoping DM Megan stays ahead of my group...they are wrapping up book 1....so I have been staying spoiler free. Not easy to do!
Barnabus likewise returns from the feast.
Same here, I went to a feast which gives a considerable amount of time for girl talk to occur...
