Sorry but I've been meaning to cut back on my games anyways. It's unfortunate, but oh well. Good luck to you all

"Good day Bokken, I am Bella, a priestess of Sarenrae. This grove that you have been tending to is absolutely beautiful."
"This place is beautiful. Look at all the critters up and about!"
"Of course, Oleg. We'll do whatever we can." Bella then gets up and helps Svetlana as much as she can get away with.
"I think it is settled. Unless someone here profoundly disagrees, I think it is decided that we will visit this Bokken. Hopefully he will have something useful for us against the bandits."
"If that's the case, perhaps exploring is not such a bad idea. Sorry, I'm changing my mind by the minute here. I'm just getting too worked up about the bandit threat." "We should probably keep the horses inside because of the worgs that Numalar encountered. I'm fine with looking after them during that time. We could keep a few for ourselves, and sell the remainder to Oleg. Also, it may not be a bad idea to look into the presence of these worgs, and if there is a dangerous pack nearby." "Fortunately, the guards are supposed to arrive tomorrow, which frees us up tremendously."
I can work with that Numalar. No worries Zokon, I'm just not wearing armor atm.
1, 2, 3 in that order. I can live with any of them
"I'm beginning to see Valeska's point of view. We should make sure we are ready for the bandit attack which may or may not arrive tomorrow whether sun or moon. It is probably best that we wait to explore at a later time. I do want to see the other places, but I think it is fair to say that the bandits are our first priority. We should defend here, at least for tomorrow. The last thing we want to happen is to be away during an attack." Bella waits for a moment, thinking over what she has said. "It's possible we could do a small scouting operation, to find out if the enemy is even coming. However we can't afford to be caught in the open."
Okay that makes sense, thank you
"Well I have no problem visiting this Bokken if the rest of you are interested." says Bella as she tucks into the meal. "I just want to make sure we're back in time just in case the bandits show up." As she speaks, Bella's eyes open up
Can we explore the hex that Oleg's is in and still make it back for dinner?
Downtime rules are fine with me. Not sure if I'll end up taking a craft, but nothing wrong with it.
Bella will certainly join in Numi's toast. "Wolves that speak? That's incredible, Numalar. I thought such things were only tales for children. Never wander into the forest, we were told in the church." As things settle down, Bella will look around to evaluate everyone's health. Who's still injured?
As soon as she hears the news, Bella rushes out to meet the wounded.
After several minutes, Bella says "Hmm, well the bite looks bad, but the fever is probably a normal cold. That or he might have anxiety from the fight earlier."
"My apologies Oleg, I don't think I understand. If we tether them, will they be outside our protection from wolves and the like?" "Also thank you Svetlana, I'll help you with the water in just a moment!" Bella smiles
"Aw that's adorable!" exclaims Bella. "We haven't seen them here, and you got all the horses..."
As Celyne and Fronar make their way in, Bella says "Wow, good job finding all those horses!"
Thanks Numalar, I thought so too
As Jon covers the bodies with dirt, Bella prays for them. "Say not in grief that they are no more but say in thankfulness that they were.
Bella speaks as she continues to dig. It is clear that she is used to hard work. "I was raised as an orphan in a small church of Iomedae, more like a monastery really. We were always taught that evil, be it necromancers or barbarians, must be destroyed without mercy. However, my blood is the same as the barbarians and I was treated as lesser. It wasn't until much later that I found the Everlight who accepted me regardless of my heritage."
Bella picks up a shovel and digs with him until all the bodies are buried. "You know, I wasn't always a priestess of Sarenrae." She starts
Instead of looking for horses, Bella excuses herself from the party. She removes her burdensome armor, but keeps her sword just in case. She then goes over to Jon who is beginning to collect and bury the bodies.
Just before Numalar calls for Celyne, Bella answers "Certainly, I will ask him when the time is right." She then backs away as Numalar calls for Celyne. Bella believes her intervention is no longer needed.
Bella tries to diffuse the situation by removing Numalar from Oleg and Jon.
"I agree. We are no warband nor army. Our interests should remain in defense."
"I believe you, Jon Felton." says Bella, her heart warmed. "You are a man who has been mislead and wronged, placed in the worst of places. I will do what I can to help you, but know that I am only one member of our company." She then moves to Jon's side and raises her hand as a vote.
Bella would like to find out if he's telling the truth.
"Numalar, please. Let us find out if this one is redeemable first before we offer the noose or the sword. Also, perhaps you'd like a quick break before you enter hypothermia?" She says with a teasing smile. She then casts Cure Light Wounds on Numalar, then lights a torch with Spark for him to carry (for warmth).
Sorry, super busy days lately. I'll have a post up shortly
No worries Numalar! Stuff happens
Visibly disappointed, Bella says "I had hopped for more reasonable bandits, but it seems that won't be the case. We gave you your chance without simply slaughtering you, but now your time is up."
When Bydon and his allies are in position, Bella steps around the corner of her hiding place, fully armored with her scimitar drawn.
"Happs Bydon! Your extortion of these good people has come to an end. Throw down your weapons and surrender or my companions will strike you down here and now! You are surrounded!"
Yeah if Celyne wants to aid, that works too!
I think Numalar's plan is solid. If you're okay with it, Celyne, I think an intimidation is more relevant here, so I'd like Bella to do that.
Thanks for the question, Numalar! I've forgotten to add the light xbow I bought her. It's in her "Other Gear", I just forgot to crunch the numbers.
"Yes thank you very much. If you want I can help with the dishes after the meal." says Bella. She does silently offer a prayer before tucking in, and then eats heartily. My lady Sarenrae, please grant these good people around our table your blessing. Please grant us strength in our trials to come, so we may protect our new friends and each other. Forever shall I spread your goodness. Bless.
"Fair enough, Valeska. Lead the way."
"I would be willing to help escort them, and eventually we will have help from the soldiers. In which case they can handle the escorting themselves in the future." "I'd also like to thank you all for considering taking the least hostile route possible. I realize it is easier to simply slaughter, but there is so much more to life than to end it."
"Sadly, I agree with you. Let us hope they will not suffer as they pass."
"My only stance here is that I would like those who surrender to be allowed to do so. Preferably, I'd rather not ambush them, but I do understand the need. They are coming here with a purpose, and we will protect these good folk against their corruption."
Hey Guys just having a few long days. Will be back up and running shortly
I should mention that I have prepared the following spells for today. Bella would have mentioned it to those who care. - Create Water
- Bless
I'm hoping for Mwk Full Plate, a wand of CLW, a riding horse, some scrolls, and maybe a Mwk Scimitar. Those are my prefs. Still, I'll work with what I find. I'm very much an organic leveler, same with equipment.
That's a great idea, Fronar. Personally, I usually go with "take what you need", but the reason I suggested it in the first place was because Bella would want something more organized and systematic. If we can work out a system such as the one you've described, I'd be totally fine with that. |
