Daxiana nods at the common sense of it, "Keep going where we were going it is."

Daxiana declares "More Centaurs... not sure we could catch them unless we want to keep it up for a few days. Or we keep on going this way," She checks the skies to predict the weather as best one can.
Glad you made it :)
Pardon, but does ilse Haecht's player know the link to find us? :o
Yay! Welcome aboard!
Daxiana grins at that "Truth. We'll keep an ear and out."
I have two that I am looking at currently, but any thoughts from the group? They all seem like they'd fill the role, though Dax should probably have some say re: background coordination if we were leaning toward the other Medvyed. The dwarf druid seems like the most interesting just in terms of being an unusual build. Otoh, I wouldn't mind seeing an Oradin in action, seen the build in theory a few times, but never been in a party with one. Mishka and Daxiana have a LOT In common (Similar attitudes/backstories even), I mean a LOT. But that said, I'd be fine with her on board and the shared family means giving a hook for entry might be that much easier for all involved. I'd be happy to work with Smiles-a-lot to see what we want them to know about each other and their relations to each other and shared family. I can't see them NOT getting along really (Maybe light teasing at most). And ultimately the class difference will make all the difference even if they a lot a like in other ways. The channeling IS good for a party our size to heal. Furthermore the player says they are willing to work with suggestions so I like the willingness there. So don't let Dax keep her out of the running, Mishka is one of my 'top two' preferences out of the applicants. I also like Ilse Haecht, who while not a cleric has channel as well as a Life Oracle. And, oddly, as we are in an area with plains, the idea of her being a stable hand with horsey background FITS the terrain? The NG alignment fits in with our non-lawful leanings. Maybe our eventual kingdom could become face for fine thoroughbreds? Or maybe I'm overthinking it. The personality of shyness seems to be different from most of us (unless I'm missing something) while still fitting in. Ilse is the other of my 'Top 2'. Mechanically I think either would get the job done, so my focus is more on party harmony and fit. (And no disrespect meant to the other applicants if they're peeking in here. Damn good stuff all around) All the above just my asked for 2 cents.
Thank you for considering us, I hope you find a good home for him.
"That sounds beautiful," Daxiana observes, "I love waterfalls especially if the light cuts through it just right? Breathtaking. Jal lay ja talay..." She tries to get the name right and gives it another go " Jalaijatali.. pretty name. I tend to vary my worship, but we find a river or waterfall we might be able to stop for a bit if you want to pay your respects?"
I'm still here. I am super super sorry for being spotty. I swear I don't mean to be quiet. To be fair, at times Daxiana is chatty enough for two or even three :)
Agreed. I've got a few that I think I like more than others but that's always the way of it. I don't envy our GM having to pick through.
"That's the spirit, Pyros. An ounce of prevention so to speak..." She nods as the Aldori gets the sling in an easy to reach place. She tries not to yawn when Ikit and Snowball do. "Not to worry Daxiana, I will not get much better at the bow, but I sense much to learn in you, you will shine, eventually" he gives a little smile Daxiana gives a warm smile back "Oh you're too kind, Roak. Looking forward to learning from you too. For example, you were offering healing at one time, not to me. I forget where but ye mentioned a Rillsong, and you're obviously blessed by one god or goddess or another. If not be against your beliefs, why don't you tell me about him or her?"
I will see about getting a Cleric. I saw the recruiting thread you put up and glad to see it already has interest! I put in my own two cents and hope that's okay.
While they ride, Daxiana tries to keep things upbeat, which to be fair she's not always successful at, but at least they'll get to know each other better, "I'll admit when I first got picked for this mission I thought I'd be the best archer in the group but a lot of you are damned fine shots. I'm going to have to practice a lot I can see, for my pride's sake." She grins good naturedly but tiredly.
Good list! Hi, One of the players here! I'm playing Daxiana Medvyed, a ranger with an archery focus. As the list above might show, this is the group that leans non-lawful, where as the lawful leaning sorts when to Oleg's instead. We also have more atypical races than the other group. This may or may not affect your choices or inspiration when finalizing your characters. Our current mission involves Centaurs, so if you have more language slots and don't know what to do with them, learning Sylvan could be a good choice but not a must. I'd wish you all luck but that will just cancel out anyway ;)
Daxiana rides along with them, of course, trying to keep alert for any trouble. Risks don't stop happening just because you're tired.
I will see about getting a Cleric. Thank you!
"Sounds good to me, Cassia," Daxiana nods "Doubt we'll find a sage on the way who can tell us what the heck is going on and how to stop it but if we see any locals who aren't out to kill us maybe they'll know a bit about this 'dream plague' or whatever one calls it."
Daxiana wakes up "Okaay, seen the One eye in my dream this time." She tells the others when they too wake up. She describes it and says "That's what all you saw? Bloody hell, normally I need the wrong sort of booze to dream like that."
"And we didn't sleep so well as a group so earlier rest is likely better than late," Daxiana agrees with Cassia.
"All right, the fact more than one of you dreamed of the same thing is a wee bit unsettling. Could it have ought to do with the symbols on those centaurs?"
"I've slept better, but I don't recall a thing..." Indeed, Daxiana is looking mostly with concerned for Ikit and Gaxi.
"Ooo, wish I could see in the dark. I can take the watch after Maeric, and before Ikit I suppose. Nothing wrong with me ears, after all. That's assuming you want a four shift?"
"They're ALL dead after Raok's work? Hells and Ashes. I realize we're efficient as a group but there should have been at least one survivor. Even those too wounded to fight should have had at least one grunting in pain but not dead yet," The Ranger is agog, "I neer seen anything like it. Guess we move on after all like you wanted, Cassia." Daxiana is not one to be weirded out lightly, but damn if this isn't disturbing. She reclaims some of her arrows from the fight and a few items from the fallen centaurs if they have it.
"Well there was the whole 'seeking information' aspect I hoped to achieve by talking to them if possible," Dax reminds and sees if any Centaurs are up up enough to speak, trying to wake one that appears stable, AFTER disarming him.
"Well, the ones that aren't downed are," Daxiana answers Gaxi.
She looks over the tattoos and shrugs.

Pyros nods along as Daxiana speaks. "I agree. Knowledge is power. I learned early in my studies as an Aldori swordsman that knowing when and where and how to strike is often more important than the sharpness of your blade or the strength of your arm." She flashes a smile at that out of gratitude. Then watches Raok get to work and hears about the marks on them,
I know we lost our cleric, but anyone else able to heal these centaurs or at least stabilize them?
"Because, Varn says he's sure non-centaurs started something with the centaurs, and I think Ikrit had a theory about about that too. Now if the centaurs have been attacked or robbed these two legged shady strangers we were trying to track then it's possible they think we're associated with them... If this was born of a misunderstanding, I'd just as soon have any suriving Centaurs HOPEFULLY spread word that 1, we are not to be messed with. Two, we aren't the ones who wronged them. And regardless, they may have information we need." Daxiana explains "Call me soft if you like, but doesn't seem we have much to lose by a little mercy and maybe a lot to gain."
"Can any be saved?" Daxiana asks the others as she looks to see if any are alive and can be saved before they expire, "We need information, don't you think?"
Daxiana fires again, "Still with us, Gaxi?" She asks the kobold even as she fires at the one on Ikrit again.
"Hold on Ikrit," Perhaps it's the fact that huge centaur is on a wee little ratfolk person , as Daxiana has never liked when folks big folks bullied smaller folk, but she decides to help him out with her next shot. She moves to get a clear shot as long as it doesn't like her up for a centaur getting a free shot at her easily .
Alas, not her best shot, "Well blast it, this is not my best showing."
Hey folks, sorry about my absence. I'm going to drop out of this game, life stuffs changed, ya know :P Thanks for the opportunity and have fun storming the castle. RL comes first. Sorry you need to go but better days to you.
Daxiana go twang! I mean, here!
Still wondering if she's made a mistake but committed, Daxiana calls out "Stand down already! We're not going to let you run over us even if we don't want you dead." She backs up a bit then fires again at the same one she shot at first if it the fellow didn't go down, or at a new target if he did.
Back. Happy Boxing Day! ;) Hope everyone has had good holidays.
Starting today I'll probably be unable to post, or at least I will post much slower; visiting family, holidays and more. Hope to be back to the swing of things on the 27th
Indecision is worse than a wrong choice... I forget who said that. And I'm not going to stand by while Raok risks all. "Well, blast it, I tried," Daxiana fires at the same one Raok shot at.
Glad you're back!
"Well, bloody hell, I guess being ready won't hurt," Daxiana draws a bow and knocks it but does not fire yet, yelling "We don't want to have to kill you."
"Wait... Pyros, NONE of them hit us with arrows? They had us and they missed us, didn't even hit our horses?" She looks to the others, "Any chance they won't attack if we don't?"
Daxiana makes a mental note of what each of her companions like, "No special needs per se on my account." She chuckles.
"Aye, hell of a thing if this is just a misunderstanding over which party did what, but we'll have to find the real criminals for evidence IF they are the ones responsible," Daxiana nods slowly.
Daxiana is glad Maeric is getting details, and notes that Roak seems a bright fella.
"Aye, we hope to help learn what angered the centaurs so and if possible make peace with them." Daxiana adds.
Pyros' generosity impresses Daxiana and she nods, then goes on to join Cassia who is already seeking out Silas. If Gaxi chooses to use her as a bit of a buffer, she doesn't complain.
