"Oh my, a test already!" Bella says, seeming genuinely nervous. I hope I haven't had too much wine. Striding over to the box she mutters a brief prayer, then eyes glowing picks it up and examines it.
The wine had apparently gotten the better of her already, she could see nothing here beyond a grooved box. She shrugs, sets the box back down, and picks up the notes, reading them aloud....
"I'll have a glass of what you're drinking captain, thank you." Says the beautiful young brunette. Her accent is Vudrani, though her features have much of Varisia in them. She's tall and thin, standing just under six feet tall. Her raven black curly hair tumbles down just past her shoulders. Her large large almond eyes are the color of caramel. Her hands and wrists are tattooed with intricate designs of a Vudrani healer, and the necklace she's wearing ends in a wooden medallion with the open hand symbol of Irori carved on it. Her clothing is mixture of Vudrani and Varisian styles, but it is of high quality and fashionable for either place. She wears a good deal of gold jewelry as well. Over her dress she is wearing a suit of light leather lamellar armor and she carries a quarterstaff. When the captain brings her the wine, she accepts it with a warm smile, saying "Thank you sir." She waits for the captain seat himself and then follows suit.
Bella was sitting on a stool next to the street on the edge of the Underbridge district with a small sign offering free healing for those in need when the messenger came for her. So far that morning she had treated a small boy's broken arm and healed a stab wound on a robbery victim. She'd been spending her time working there while she waited for the Society to have need of her. When the messenger handed her the scroll and then disappeared she immediately smiled with glee. This must be the Society at last! Her eyes devoured the writing on the scroll and she immediately packed up her things upon finishing the message. She made her way back to the inn where she'd been staying and retrieved the rest of her things, then settled her account. Too excited to do anything else Bella made her way to Heidmarch manor far earlier than needed, following the directions of locals questioned along the way. While she waits for the sun to ascend to its zenith she crouches on her heels across the street from the manor, watching the people go by. When the proper time arrives, she approaches the gate and looks for a guard or porter.
Sipping her wine, Bella leans back in her chair smiling as she listens to the others tell tales of their favorite heroes. It's wonderful to be around so many Pathfinders here! It reminds me of when mom and dad would have their friends over back home. Aloud she says, "Who ever knew there were so many great heroes in the world? Come now, who else has a tale to tell?"
"I once heard tell of a terrible kellid barbarian named Conan. They says he's tall as an oak and strong as a bronze golem. He was born in battle, ripped from his mother's womb by the blade of an enemy." Bella pauses as a brief shudder races through her at the thought. "He came south already a red handed warrior at the age of fifteen, and learned the ways of the thief in storied Qadira. From there its said his sandaled feet led him down the path of mercenary, pirate and soldier with equal ease. The katapeshi who told me of him was a hard, dirty man covered with scars, yet from the fear in his eyes you would think he spoke of a god or monster. He said that even now Conan leads a band of terrible dessert raiders, seeking to conquer his own land as king. Conan knows no fear, and cuts down wizard, man or demon alike. I pray to Irori that I should never meet such a brute alone at night." Suppressing another shiver, Bella leans out and says to a passing barmaid, "More wine please!"
Ha! It's been over two weeks since you recruited me and I haven't even been introduced yet. You advertised one post a day minimum. There have been 36 posts since the 23rd. A lot of them from you or your DMPC. Seems to me there should be more like 3 players * 15 days= 45 posts from the players plus all the posts from you. Maybe next time you recruit you should be more honest/realistic about the pacing of the game.
I need to reread the end part of gameplay. Last I remember the group was going to find the Second Story girls or whatever they're called, looking for that lost Sczarni girl. I'm sure there are more details I need to absorb before I could offer any meaningful advice. I'll give it a gander over the next day or two when I have some time. |
