I'm so sorry. I just don't have the bandwidth to keep up with all my PbP games. I took a promotion at work, and by the end of the day my brain just doesn't any power left for posting. I've enjoyed playing in this game so much, and I wish you all the best. Have great future adventures. This was my first PhP game so long ago, and I'll miss it terribly.
As Davina is slipping away with the rest of the Ravens she hears Arina's speech to the citizens, and smiles. Good for her. Give the dottari a black eye, and let the citizens know someone is watching out for them.
Davina rushes into the hallway and looks for stairs that go up to the roof. "He's so darn slippery. I need to learn how to climb walls."
Davina holds her action until Wex's head pops up in the window. If she sees him she'll stab at him with her rapier. Held Action Wex in Range:
Davina hears Falina's call from outside the window. She sticks her head out and sees a figure climbing up the wall. What to do? What to do? She studies him and quickly pulls her head back in, and waits sword drawn not even daring to breath. I sure hope someone is still in the hall and hears the commotion.
Davina puts herself up against the wall next to the window in the northern bedroom. She drinks her extract of Shield, and draws her rapier. I don't think he'll go quietly, and who would we take him to? The dottari don't care about what's happening in the Nursery."
"The temple of Shelyn sounds like it should be our next stop. We don't want that blade falling into the wrong hands. I for one don't want it in our hands either. They can hopefully deal with it." Davina scoops up books and notes, and starts tucking them away as "proof" of who the murderer is.
Davina takes a moment to look for a possible secret door. She taps on the wall in the corner carefully looking for a button, a switch, or a crack in the wall.
I'm sorry that I haven't been able to post. Work has been crazy for the last month, and I won't have brain power to post until after this week. I've got a major report due, and I'm the only one who has access to entering the data. I'll be back just not this week.
Davina gives Vespasio a bright smile, "Good afternoon. We're looking for an artisan who can create a leg brace for my nephew. He hurt himself recently, and we can't repair his leg with magic. I heard from an acquaintance that they met someone with such a brace who was an artisan here. Can you direct us to him, please? We'd like to speak to him about it. I don't know much about him other than he wears the brace and an apron. He also smells of slurk grease."
Take care of yourself. Work is swamping me right now. Hopefully it will let up by the end of March. I'll do my best to log in and check, but move me forward as you need to. I'm sorry.
"I have another question for our deceased friend. Do you have family we should notify of your death?" She pats the corpses hand. "She's given us excellent information. If I could send a few sails to her family, I'd like to." Davina says by way of explanation. "This is interesting. Anyone heard of the Vespam Artisans? It's Kintargo’s largest manufacturer of clockworks. Even better it's located square in the section of Old Kintargo where the murders have occurred. I say we need to go take a look. Dom don't let me get too distracted by all the interesting clockworks or we'll never finish this investigation."
Davina sits next to the body and begins. Please describe who or what killed you." She asks. Then she asks "What did you see immediately before your death?
"There isn't much we can do about the plague right now. Let's speak with the victim tomorrow, and see if we can take care of that issue. Then we can go searching for the Grey Queen. One thing at a time. If not we'll never be able to do good for the people." Davina suggests.
Davina looks angry at the death, and very angry at the state of the ill. "Domitius this is unacceptable. Now have a plague in the city in addition to murders. The people have heard nothing of this illness in the finer points of the city. I wouldn't be surprised if Thrune didn't bring this on the city himself."
Davina examines the body carefully. She stands and lets out a few curses. "It's not bad enough they treated her like a pin cushion, the blade caused her to bleed even more than she should have. This was overkill for sure." "I'm sorry for you loss Rose. This is unacceptable, and we'll do what we can to put a stop to this. Please prepare the spell. I think we should ask around for information on the other victims, and if anyone has more information."
"The summon is urgent. Let's go see what the Rose wants of us. Do you need to Falina do you need to rest first to regain your spells?"
I'm back. Sorry for being gone.
"That sounds like a good plan. I'd rather not run into the Tien woman if we can avoid it. I'd like to keep a low profile."
Davina goes and stands before the two twins. Looking up at them from her diminutive height. She gives them her best, don't lie to me young man look and says, Gents. Why would a Tian investigator be looking for you? What mischief have you gotten yourselves into?"
Davavina nods to Arani in acknowledgement, and then responds to T'chazzar, "True. They may go on to do evil acts, but isn't this whole country run by evil beings who have agreements with the devils themselves." She shoos the boys out of the room, "I can't let the children see what might happen next. They agreed to leave the area. I dislike letting evil leave. Viroleth is this lack of denouncing their goddess enough for their deaths for you?" She then leaves the room to watch over the boys.
Davina shrugs. "Viroleth's plan works for me. They get a choice. I can sleep with that at night."
I'm good with the swap for Jess.
Davina stands back from the boys and the prisoners, "Leave them here. I still have no idea what we're going to do with them. We can't just murder them. I don't think the watch would be interested in them either."
@ Viroleth: My condolences on your loss. Happy Holidays to everyone, and Merry Christmas tomorrow if you celebrate. I hope you all survived the snow.
"Good to know Leora is all right. Jess is too. Let's get these gents to the surface, and get some rest. I think we deserve it. We'll lock the door behind us when we leave." She points to the key ring. "Hopefully that will keep the riff raff out until we can get back down here."
Davina shakes off most of the pain from the priests. After the woman falls she heads into the room to check on the boys. "Now let's get you out of these bonds. How did this happen?" she asks as she works to free the young men.
You two stay put. We'll be right back." She glances at the priestess studying her. "You. I'm tired of dealing with. How dare you bring children into this." She stabs at her with her rapier.
Davina smiles at the twins. "People have been looking for you everywhere. Did anyone come through or did a door open and close by itself?" she asks from the doorway.
Happy Thanksgiving. Hubby and I spent the day together and made a small but yummy meal for just the two of us.
Davina sighs and heads toward the secret door. "We need to figure out how to see people who are invisible or make them all glittery."
Davina pulls out her potion of Cure Light Wounds and moves over to Dom. "Don't you dare die you big lug." She feeds him the potion.
Davina studies and attacks the cultist right in front of her. "Somebody get him up. I'll be very upset if he dies."
Davina moves up the stairs to the cultist and attacks her.
Davina moves closer to the action careful not to get into the range of the flying wasp.
Davina attacks the changeling next to her again.
Davina turns and studies the changeling who attached her as her target, and then attacks her.
She takes a step forward and stabs at the Devil.
Opportune Parry and Riposte:
Davina grunts as she takes damage. "Ouch that was rude." She studies her target of the devil.
"This has been given to us by the "rightful" law of this city. I'm afraid you'll have to go. Please move along. We have some cleaning to do." Davina sniffs as if the very air stinks to her.
"Use the cover. Stand next to each other. Let's go carefully."
Davina laughs. "I'm sure she could. She'd probably invite him to dinner instead." "I hear chanting. I don't want that spell to finish up. We should head east. Past the pit. Falina is this fog stationary or will it travel with us?"
"I hate invisible creatures. I need to find a way to search them out or see them." She makes a mental note to study how to do that. She readies her sword to attack if the devil appears again.
Davina readies drinks her extract of Shield. "Come one ugly. Come play with us in this room."
Davina nods and moves back with T'chazzar. "Bring him to us."
Sorry end of the federal fiscal year is kicking my rear. Three more days, and then I get to start with a new fiscal year. *sigh*
Davina moves up and peeks into the room. "Barbazu, or bearded devil is another name. It's a lawful evil outsider." She takes time to study the devil.
"Ok let's get them into the room." Davina starts dragging unconscious people into the room that Dom points to. She grins at him. "You don't happen to have your practice locks on you do you?"
"Ok. Let's lock the tied up one, and the unconscious ones in one of the small rooms. Then head down the super exciting, a jump could kill us in the pit hallway. How's that for a plan?"
Davina casts Daylight on a crossbow bolt, and moves up behind Arani. "See anything interesting?"
