I'll walk up to the creature and punch it in the head (flurry of blows). "When it time to fight, fight don't talk".
I ignore the pompous elf, I am immune to most dangers fungi present and a handkerchief won't protect anyone form the ones that are truly dangerous.
Spot=13,23,14,23 Listen=11,21,29,12 Hwe-Ko bows and greets the newcomers. "Welcome to our band, I am pleased to met you". "I am Hwe-Ko monk of the Ninth Sun monastery, chosen by 'Mother' to represent her in this endeavor".
Hwe-Ko will remain quite during the feast unless promted to by the others. Afterwards he will do his kata before truning in for the night.
I agree, Namaste should speak for us.
Calmed by Namaste's words I bite back a sharp retort, center myself and bow to Llanoc "I apologize for letting my anger slip, I was wrong to imply your devotion to your familial duties makes you a prisoner and
Replying to Astinos in Orc. Spoiler: You are correct but I never should have allowed him to break my calm it is a weakness that I can no longer afford.
Do not mock that which you know little of, my flesh is as strong as your steel and quicker than your arrows.
Perhaps, but perhaps it you who are being to kind, Mother and Bafic-Graa have done great things, their footsteps have shaken our world but I....I am just a pawn. My birth was commanded because Mother wanted more might to spread her influence, my upbringing was brutal and harsh to weed out the unfit, I, was manipulated to train with the Boxers of Qinshu because mother wanted to know what secrets they held. My being here at this time and place was subtlety arranged by forces not of my own. Every orc child grows up this manner. The Temple of the Ninth Sun wants me to spread their teaching. Mother wishes all of her children to bring her more power. I am but a pawn disposable and common and I am bound by my ambition and pride to follow the path laid out before me, if I do wealth and renown will be mine. There nothing more common than a mans lust for wealth and power.
"As you wish my lady" provided that her chariot/horse dosn't go faster than 40' per round Hwe-Ko easily paces her. “I am as common as the rain that falls and the grass that grows. My birth mother is a human whore in one of “Mother’s” brothels. My early childhood was brutal, as you would expect a half-breed child among orc children would be, beaten for their amusement, forced by those stronger to take on their chores, scrubbing floors, cleaning chamber pots and any task they found foul. I soon learned to use my cunning and speed the orc children lacked and became the dominant one, by the age of 12 full orcs twice my age did my bidding and none but the Madam of the house commanded me. I thought I would take responsibility running the house, I was already protecting the girls working there and my influence was growing. I had enough influence to send my childhood tormentors on “missions for Mother” that would lead to their early graves. Mother saw a great potential in me and asked, not commanded but asked, if I would like to travel to China and learn the secrets of the Boxers. I jumped at the chance to leave the barbarity of home and left for Qinshu at dawn the next day. In the Boxers Temples I learned of harmony, grace and courtly skills. I was taught of the differences between the rule of the iron fist and the persuasion of the velvet glove, of how a polite word can win a war and the threat of violence prevent one from starting. They taught me their secret fighting styles, of how make my flesh as strong as steel, to hone my reflexes to point where I can pluck the wings off a fly wile it’s in flight. In a few years I had learned all I could teach me, earning my robes and title of priest of the Temple of the Ninth Sun. I must wander the world for ten years before I am allowed to return and pass what I have learnt on my travels to the Temple masters. I heard of the tribulations in this land and came to test my fist against the enemies’ steel my purity of body against their corruption and the wisdom of my masters against their primal chaos. I will not fail my masters, I will not fail my comrades, I will not fail Mother and I will not fail myself”.
Hwe-Ko bows to the lady before he turns to join the others leaving the groto and gives her a mischievous wink "Thank you for all you have given to our cause. Your words are as music drawing me near but the yapping of your pet", a brief head nod to Llvenoc, "brings me back to the ugliness of our world. I only hope that the fates conspire to bring me into your radiant company again".
*speaking aloud to all who wish to listen* "Life feeds on life, but I don't wish to be plant food. Perhaps we should heed the witches words and leave with all haste".
My goal is harmony; my loyalty is to life. Sex and magic are tools to be used as are fear and compassion, only a fool would deny their use. I speak the language of my birth as well as goblin, lenapian and the common trade tongue (I assume Greek) but the tails of my youth should be kept for a less urgent time. *after the orc's gumble and storm off*
My intent is peaceful, I only seek knowledge. But I will focus my ki in case I need to deflect any bolts heading my way.
I am but a humble servant of fate, only my actions may answer your questions.
Hwe-Ko aproches the drow princess and in Chinese addresses her. Jiuwen daming magisty, may this humble servent speak with you?
Hwe-Ko follows the rest out of the glade only pausing to respectfully bow to the Oracle, saying a short psalm of thanks as does. "All blessings be yours my Lady, and to Sister Water, so useful, lowly, precious, and pure and Sister Earth, Who feeds us in her sovereignty and produces fruits and flowers and herbs for our needs".
Seeing Kemnebi's nod Hwe-Ko bows in response. "Greatings honored sir, center your ki and your the discomfort of the water will fade. Forgive my impudance but I had overheard your misgivings".
"I just arrived and now I must leave, the goddess of fate not wish me to rest". grumbles the plain clothed Half-Orc. Standing tall and broad shouldered like most of his breed but unlike them he wares no armor and carried no weapons but the greatest difference was his fastidious nature. His black hair braided into a long pony tail that almost reached the ground. His grey skin has a healthy glow that can only come frequent washing as did his orange robes.
Are you my daddy, if so I want 18 years of back child support.
So you're essentially telling me I can choose to be a son of a whore. If I wasn't playing a Half-Orc I might be insulted ;) Playing the son of a runaway whore of Balfic sounds good to me.
as a half ork; you can more or less choose to be part of Balfic's family or not; they are the prime source of half breeds; there are lots of rumors of his mother trying to build a bigger better race by combinine lots of races; so the brothel has all kinds of ahem; workers; hehe.

Why not just leave him on the planet when I blow it apart.
Your pathetic rebellion is no match for a Death Star.
I'm not a wussy, I'm not. I'm gonna blow up a planet that can't fight back to prove that I'm not a wussy. |
