Using her telepathy, Jaynie contacts the kobold. In a deep, demonic-like voice she speaks with the creature.
"Why do you cower here? I can see you and will protect you through my servant, but you must tell me why you are here and what has happened, or she will turn you over to the bloodthirsty dwarf, elf and gnome. Decide NOW!"
The young woman yells, her voice becoming deeper and more menacing as she screams, til finally, it comes out as a disturbing bass, full of anger and power.
Jaynie wanders through the room, examining the dead goblins as she goes. She looks at the weird writing on the wall, but soon something else draws her away.
Jaynie dances around as Fargus calls out for the 'gobbos'. She pouts as Fyird shushes the dwarf, but then looks somewhat excited as a thought pops into her head.
[b]"Do you think there might be more kitties down there?"[/ooc]
Jaynie's head snaps back, and when it comes forward, her eyes are black pools and her voice has taken on a deep tone, so very unlike her regular speaking voice. The language is odd and almost painful to listen to, but a black bolt flies from her palm and strikes one of the orcs.
Jaynie quietly rode all day, a look of wonder on her face. This is the first time she had ever been outside the city and everything is new and exciting. The only trouble seems to have been an argument Jaynie had with her horse near the end of the day. When the party stopped for the night, Jaynie walked away from her mount to sit alone, muttering about how the horse was being 'unfair' to her...whatever that meant. She finally seemed to make up with the animal as later she was seen giving it an apple from her evening meal.
Jaynie realizes that she has been standing and listening to the voices, or was it just one voice...well whatever...she has been standing and not paying any attention to what was going on around her. Hearing someone asking what people were drinking, the barmaid heads over to the group.
"What can I get for you?" she asks eyeing the strange gathering of elves, dwarves, humans and halflings.
Jaynie slowly wipes down the same table she has been working on for the last 10 minutes. The tavern is slow right now, and once again she has withdrawn into the voices inside her head...well voice actually. If she listens really hard, sometimes she can almost make out what it is saying, but for the most part, it is just a constant mumbling.
It takes the patron a few tries to finally get her attention, and she jumps when he finally places his hand on her shoulder. Words to a rather nasty curse bubble up from within, and the voice begins to become slightly clearer, but she gets ahold of herself and heads to the bar to get the group's order. Durnan gives her a hard look, having watched the exchange, but says nothing. In her heart, she knows he cares about her welfare, but she cannot stay in this place forever.
Something...anything has to come along and get her out of here...before she does something ...bad!
Actually untrained unarmed attacks only do 1+STR Bonus, I believe. I was just looking this up for another game when I came across it and was surprised!
Sy waits patiently as the others sort themselves out. He dos snag one of the healing potions (if no one else wants it) and places it within easy reach.
Sy, with his elven hearing, listens in on the odd gathering of people over on the other side of the tavern. While the money means little to him, the chance of freeing people from the grip of the crime syndicate does perk his interest.
"Would you maybe consider one more for your group?", he asks as he walks over to the others.
A typical elf, he is dressed in light-studded leather armor and armed with a longbow, sword, and dagger. He sets a traveler's pack down on the ground as he steps forward. His clothes and gear, while in good condition, show signs of travel and heavy use. The elf himself stands just shy of 6 feet and has the typical slim build of his people. Long black hair is braided in a single queue down his back. Piercing blue eyes flick from person to person as he awaits an answer to his question.
