Surprise Round:
Coal is a much better option than butter... and hiding in the bushes sounds safe enough. She quickly rubs the coal on her face and follows Janiven outside, Rickard quick on her heels. Prepared Spells: 0- Dancing Lights, spark, daze; 1- Cure Light Wounds, Inflict Light Wounds
Erliana shakes her head. "I am NOT smearing butter all over my face."
Also, I'm like to be out of internet until Friday mid-afternoon/evening
Erliana kneels down by Morosino to pet Rickard as well. The raccoon just soaks in the attention and starts to purr at the both of them. "I don't know young man, you were awfully brave in the sewers today. Certainly more so than I would have been when I was as young as you. When I was your age I was terrified of things. It's only with Rickard's company that I learned to be brave. Perhaps you just need to find your own loyal companion." She smiles at the boy hoping to get his confidence up.
Go ahead and take it out of my cut. I'm not greedy, just like shinies.
Erliana smiles at Morosino and looks at Rickard. "Rickard? He's more of a friend than a pet. He's been with me a long, long time. And it's up to him, not me if you can pet him." As if on cue Rickard trots over to Morosino and brushes the young man's legs.
Erliana looks around the bedroom she'd claimed hunting for reading material, for something to pass the time.
Erliana heads down the hall to clean herself and relax. She uses a cheap Varisian perfume to mask the smell of the sewage that lingers even after the brief washing. She curls up in one of the beds, with Rickard laying beside her head. She pets her companion and gives him an apple, which he greedily takes to the wash basin before eating it.
The other groups have lost people then? That sucks.
"Well, I am in, but it will always be a priority for me to find my mother's killer as well." Erliana looked at the surroundings before letting loose a long yawn. "I don't know about anyone else, but I'm bushed."
Erliana gives all the other members of the group five gold pieces and fourteen silver pieces, gives the potion to Ravishar and the sunrod to Guy, while slipping the two rings on her fingers.
"Oooh." Erliana looks at the shiny object and goes over to examine the chest.
Standard: Erliana looks through the large goblin's belongings.
Erliana watches as the healing spell delivered by her small friend does almost nothing. "Solly slop! That's just how things would go." She sighs deeply before plunging waist deep in the water. Move:
Move to K9 Standard Action: on Ravishar of course
As she sees the large goblin hack into Ravishar, Erliana looks at Rickard. "Go little friend, help our ally."
Move Action:
Rickard moves to K9 Standard Action:
Ricard delivers to Ravishar
Standard Action:
Erliana quickly brushes Guy's shoulder imbuing him with a slight magical protection. "No offense Kara, but I prefer my home to yours!"
"I'm not sure I like these tunnels all that much Janiven..."
Just letting you know that in about 10 minutes I head to work, so it will be about 9 hours before I can get a post up once we move on.
Move: Moves following Janiven down the tunnel, keeping her scarf at the ready.
Full Round: Hold action, in case one of the goblins breaks through
Move: Move to F6 with Stealth Check of and draws her bladed scarf.
"Guy, I can help with that acid burn if you need it."
Erliana hugs the wall trying to make herself scarce as well.
Move: Erliana moves into the space that had been occupied with Ravishar
Full Round Action: Erliana uses the withdraw action to move to the first available space out of water and out of melee with the torbles
Good lord it reeks in here. Don't have a clear line on them, gonna have to risk it.
Move:
Erliana gets into the water and moves to G2 Readied Standard: Will cast Burning Hands as soon as three of the torbles are in I squares to hit with it.
As Erliana sees what the gnomes are doing, she nods silently. Rickard ducks into the tunnel as she casts a spell of her own, a vaguely humanoid looking light following the silent image out the window.
She then follows her familiar into the hatch.
"Well... Looks like we're in it now, whether we want to be or not..." Erliana pulls out a scarf and falls in behind Ravishar.
At least his singing is not horrible. I half expected a goblin song. As he sings Erliana uses a towel to wipe down Rickard. "The raccoon's name is Rickard, and he's my loyalest friend." She looks ponderously for a moment. "While I'm not that fond of this town, I'm not terribly familiar with the government, nor do I think I'm quite ready to be arrested for treason, so whatever your plan it had better be smart. Because catching my mother's killer will be difficult to do if I'm swinging from the gallows."
Oof. That's rough. I don't wish anyone that pain.
Erliana sees where Fizzy got her new mug and while graciously accepting the mug, she avoids drinking out of it. Pretending to do so occasionally while the eccentric gnome is looking her way, but in doing so inadvertently spills the borrowed ale on poor Rickard. She listens as Janiven speaks, a brutal tongue lashing of the nation's government. Not knowing whether to agree or not, she maintains her silence waiting for the reactions of everyone else.
As did I.
"I have not gone to the Hellknights, Ser Ravishar, for I have naught but a vague description of a man. I have started my own investigation by continuing my mother's career. I have hopes that if the man was that lecherous once, he will be again, so I do what I do best and dance. And while I dance I look for the foul cretin in the audience in the hopes that one day he will be there." With that she lifts her now nearly emptied mug. "Well, to new beginnings and finding whatever it may be that we are looking for. She extends the mug to everyone else at the table for a toast.
Ravishar, I want to say that you and I think alike, as I was going to go with "A Whole New World" too, but now I despise you because it is stuck in my head.
"My story's a bit darker than that. Some of you may have heard of my mother, or even had seen her dance. Her name was Alika Vinhoven, and she was one of the best dancers you could ever have the privilege of seeing. As such she drew a great many enamored gentleman callers. I shelter no belief anymore that my mother was promiscuous in my youth, and believe it was her undoing. She was savagely murdered in the dead of night, left for her loved ones to find. Her murder remains unsolved, but I find myself constantly haunted in my nightmares by a singular face, a face I had seen with my mother in this very city. I believe this man to be my mother's killer, something deep tells me this." She sips at her mug of ale as her face appears to grow forlorn in the telling of her story.
Calistria, grant me patience to deal with this gnome...
A paladin, a creepy demon thing, and two gnomes, these are the people who are going to bring justice? The paladin, certainly, but then his type are typically none too trusting of witches... Prepared Spells for the Day: 0- Dancing Lights, Resistance, Bleed; 1- Cure Light Wounds, Burning Hands
"Fizzwhat?"Gnomes... I thought I'd left them behind me at the circus, but I guess one can never truly escape them... Erliana sits in one of the empty seats at the table, and Rickard jumps off her shoulder onto her lap. "My name is Erliana Vinhoven. I'm interested in what brings us all together today." She waves at a nearby waiter and pays him for a mug of ale to drink as well.
Calistria help us all.
"Hope to see you there! Bring justice to the city? What does she know about me? Does she know why I'm here? There's something off about this. As Erliana dances, her mind is occupied by the woman's request, and she doesn't even hear the thunderous applause after her routine.
She walks through the pawing crowd, ignoring requests for her autograph and other more lecherous offers. Following close behind her as she leaves the theater is a small raccoon, who promptly scampers up and jumps on her shoulder. "Rickard, is what we're doing smart? We don't have a whole lot to go on here... The raccoon almost seems to shrug in response to her question as they walk towards the tavern. Erliana and Rickard entered the tavern to see the woman at a table with auspicious company, the gnome with blue hair had obviously said something that had elicited some laughs, but not loud enough for her to have heard the joke. "These are the ones who seek to bring justice?
And of course both of my rolls were pointless because I forgot two things: 1) my trait gave me 300 gp (unless GM Jib wants me to have that in addition to the 130 rolled) 2) I've played so long with animal companions instead of familiars that I forgot familiars are always half of the master's HP... I feel dumb >,<
Rolling x 10 = 130 woot! for Gold and for Rickard's HP |
