"Ah, it was worth a shot. Thank you, Sheriff. We do appreciate how you've supported our efforts."

"Is THAT why there was a few coins where I landed?" Blink Blink.
The sound of a bard flinging herself off the top of the garrison only to sing her way down softly might be heard, but it's a graceful way for Izzy to reintroduce herself. "I can fly like a snowflake in a windless winter, WHEE! It worked. I didn't die and..." SHe looks about seeing Garen is trying to make some sort of deal here, and looks at the Sheriff "Sheriff, I didn't hear all that, but you know if Garen is asking for aid, it's for something that will help keep Sandpointers alive. He's not like some manipulative bard type who.. uhm.. anyway, he's a Paladin and you can trust him."
Congratulations!
I think it might be wise to have more than a +1 dagger in a bard's hand to fall on but as I ain't a warrior type I leave it up to you more melee regulars :)
I considered better armor for Izzy but I think she likes being light on her feet and thanks to the magic dagger she has a decent ranged attack
Got it. HP at 23 now right? 22 is what I've got, and let me put my 'summary' where it can be seen in every post. Sorry about that. Should have done it ages ago. EDIT: there we go. The summary should be visible next to her name now.
"I would ask it that is wise, but, well...you are a gnome, after all." Grod deadpans. "Oh I was a gnome before all too," Izzy assures him, "But to quote an old phrase, Wisdom is a solid guide, but not the most entertaining one."
So HP up by 6 (4+2 (for Con))
"Well, I learned a lot," Izzy says as they make their way back to civilization, "I think I was inspired by that floaty room in a good way... and I need to try a new song by HURLING myself off a tall building. SHOULD work." She muses aloud.
"Up top is fine with me... though the floaty room was fun," A wistful glance back, but she decides "Let's go back topside as you fellows suggest though. I could use a hot bath and a warm meal."
Izzy makes sure she grabs the things asked for first! and only then gets yoinked back.
"Oh, I can try that." Avoiding the maggots and raven, she reaches first for the ragged book.
"Hey, if I think 'thataway' I drift 'thataway'..." She tells them.
"That is AWESOME! Me next , me next!" The gnome jumps in, not really thinking that this could be dangerous! "Wheee!"
"Oh Tot, you should take it and name it. Maybe Sinslicer! Or Blue Ribbon, since it is a prize!" She suggests.
"Okay, later for the Zombies," She strains her ear muscles, the mightiest muscles in the gnome body besides the mouth ones.
"As long as we don't let the smoke overwhelm us, that should work. Cheaper than holy water too."
Izzy tells the joke but stop the release of it's power and blinks as Grod BISECTS the freaky goblin. Now she gawks, "Kneel before Grod." Then she coughs "I mean, nice shot. Glad my song helped."
The gnome calls out a joke in goblin, a joke so profane, so inappropriately funny, that it includes at least two bleeps and a reference to Koruvus' mother.
Bard for life!
Seeing Garen is BADLY hurt Didn't I just clean these people up recently? the noble and selfless gnome How am I gonna get myself in the stories if all I do is tend to boo boos? keeps singing, and then moves to the Paladin and heals him as best she can. "Don't die, Garen! It's too soon in the story for that!"
But Glory! oh fine, I'll stay alive then. That'll teach you all :P ;)
Izzy tries to fling her dagger at the one on Tot, hoping to clip his leg, "Don't Duck , Tot. Fed Cat comes back." ANd the dagger flies out
"Let's dance!" The gnome says as she strikes up another battle ballad and squeezes closer knowing others can step over her if they need to.
Isidiana takes up a position in the rear. And plucks out some holly from her hair, wondering where that came from?
back. HOpe all had a wonderful Christmas.
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
"Why have we stopped? I don't claim to know, in my defense I'm rather scatter brained."
"We gotta find a wand or something," The gnome says, and puts a hand on Grod's leg because it is what she can reach then she sings an oldie but goodie, "Lights will guide you home
The gnome looks at their defeated foes, and mimes blowing smoke off her dagger edge, "Some fiends just need killing."
Unable to get line of sight on her foe easily, the gnome dives past the legs of friends and goes to the far corner so next time she'll have a better chance.
Still singing, Izzy breaks out her dagger, Fed Cat, and she meditates during her singing Fed Cat, you have never failed me, mostly because I have never used you before. Fly fast, fly true... and do not hit one of my allies in the ass if I miss! And she flings the dagger.
"Rah Rah Let's go team, smack em hard and treat em mean; this is a foe we know we can beat! Ra Rah, team supreme , let's turn their bones into cream!" She begins singing and inspiring.
Grod reaches over Izzy's head and snatches the dagger out of the air. He turns it over in his hand for a minute and says "Careful with this, little lady. Don't poke your eye out. Wouldn't make for a good tale, and it'd be a shame to lose one of those pretty eyes." he rumbles, before handing it back to her, hilt first, with a smile. She smiles "Thanks, Grod." She takes it back, "If anyone else wants it, let me know really. I'm not able to do a lot of 'oomph' in my throws or blows." Clearly remembering how her weapons did not work well on the demon "But it is neat." .........Then they find two more of the things.
Izzy has gone quiet, flipping the Dagger 'Fed Cat' in her hand. She looks thoughtful I guess you're mine then, Fed Cat. I mentioned you and... well, no answers. Poop. You probably deserve a mighty warrior or a skilled sneak, but we might have a few tales yet. the thought makes her brighten.
"Thank you, Father , back to the horrific brink." She claps her hands excitedly and heads back to the glass works.
"Should we get a bottle of holy water in case we run into another demon?" Izzy is happy to follow where they go. "I had the weirdest dreams the gods froze the world while we slept."
"ARI, you remembered. I was starving, and no one wondered where I was... and ... I might have named a magic item without checking with you guys. Are any of you good at throwing daggers? Fed Cat might be for you." She goes from Faux sad, to fake apologetic, to excited ... but that's her speed.
"I shall dub you: Fed Cat , for once you have tasted a meal, you come back expecting more." She tells the dagger, then blinks "To be fair, you're probably going to someone else, but I'll see if they keep the name."
"ooo those little zesty noodles?"
Izzy takes her turn to look at the dagger again but this time to try to determine it's magic. (She had already cast Detect Magic)
"Ooo, magic dagger. Who wants?" She asks as she looks over the non magical but intriguing stuff.
Grod's humming gets a hearty thumb's up from the resident bard! She wants to be supportive.
She looks over at Tot, "You could use some healing, and you're a bit shaken there, Tot. Don't worry, we were all scared. Gnomes are just wired funny. We get scared, of course, badly, but afterwards some of us treasure the experience. Makes us seem braver than we are."
"It's okay, Garen... the big part of the story is that finishing blow you pulled off!" Izzy hums and casts detect magic on the quasit and around the area.
"Call the Magnimar Patent Office, copyright the name Erridon Demonbinder, I want a copper every time somebody says it" - J. Jonah Izzy!
At this, Izzy rolls her eyes, "Humility about it just makes you MORE heroic, Erridon! OOh it's like none of you have proper training the adventure epic narrative. What did you all do with your lives? Learn PRACTICAL stuff? Blah. And you did it to keep your home and family safe? DOUBLE Heroic! You are 'Erridon Demonbinder' now, at least in some stories that are coming." Her eyes light up "Ooo, Demonbinder...I DO like that. Provocative, technically true... will look good on a theatrical broadsheet."
"We killed a demon! We killed a demon! It was all 'hiss' and 'you pathetic mortals' and Ari was like 'rarr let's wrasssle with darker powers' and so HEROIC...and Tot was like 'Baptize it' and the rest of us were pew pew and whomp and then Garen was all 'Godly SMITE' and I was like 'go for the head go for the head' and the demon was like 'noooo my evilness what a world what a world' and DEAD back to the bad place!" The gnome is ecstatic, her body trembling with fear turned to victory.
