"Lets pull its teeth," Jhen suggests with a wicked grin.
"Thrune," Jhen says with the venom of a curse. "All our blighted troubles began with that man. And I fear they will not end until he is gone."
As they made their way back to Zea’s place Jhen is preoccupied by his teeth. He practices biting, grinding, and pushing on them with his tongue. Satisfied he finally remembers, ”Thanks Fingle, everything appears to be in working order.
"Fanks," Jhen mutters to Salonius.
Jhen awakes to Saul's assertion that the tooth fairies were gone. He immediately asks Fingle, "Fith my teefh pweeze."
No worries.
Jhen can only stare numbly in horror as the blood runs down his throat.
After walking around for hours Jhen leans against a wall hoping to rest his weary feet. I hope something happens soon, he thinks as his eye lids grow heavy.
Jhen smiles to himself at all the attention he is getting as he dons his costume. He halfheartedly listens to plan as he makes some minor adjustments to his disguise but finally interjects, "I agree with Salonious the quicker you can come to my rescue the better."
All, I am going on a quick camping trip with the family and will be back Sunday evening.
"Afternoon would be best," Jhen nods his head in agreement with Mels proposal. He turns toward the others, "as long as we are at the apartment before dusk we should be fine. Plus, I want to buy a few things for my disguise."
"Sounds perfect. We'll see you tonight," Jhen replies to Zea. With his familar lopsided grin Jhen softly replies to the bard,"You're welcome Mels but I don't think you give yourself enough credit." His smile deepens, "and I would be happy to show you a few moves."
He gives a short bow to the tiefling, "Thank you, madam." Looking back at the others, "What do you think?
"I'm not comfortable putting the lady at risk," Jhen says with a shake of this head. "Might be best if I tried to pass myself off as a tiefling. I am an actor after all."
Jhen halfheartedly searches through the ash trying to stay as clean as possible.
"Where can we find more of these Archivists" Jhen asks the young noble.
Jhen makes his way back to the basement hide out just in time to catch the tail end of Rexus' request. "Morning," He nods his head at Mels and the Tengu. He moves next Rexus and places his hand on his shoulder, "Sorry about your parents mate. I can't speak for the others but I'll take a look about and see what I can find out."
"Deal," Jhen hastily agrees.
Nodding his head enthusiastically, "Yes, give the people something to clear the fog for a while so to speak." He shakes his head, "Of course I will not accept any Remuneration for my services from you."
"Yes it was," Jhen's grin turns into a warm smile at being remembered. His spirits high from the flattery he automatically replies, "Yes of course I'd be willing to help out in that regard. What do you have in mind?"
"Perhaps at the opera... I've had a couple of small roles. To be honest very small non speaking parts," Jhen replies modestly. "Unfortunately, I don't think my career will be taking off anytime soon."
Jhen makes his way back to basement and finds it empty. He retreats upstairs to the coffee house and flags down Laria and orders, "Sweet tea please."
All, I will be on the road today and unable to post please bot me as needed.
After the encounter with the rats Jhen retires to his room and begins treating the scores of bites and scratches that riddle his body. This can't be good, he concludes as he lowers himself into his tub wincing as the water stings his wounds.
As the rats chase him down and climb up his back Jhen tries to maintain his composure rapidly jabbing his sword at the mass of rats. He continues to try to get away for the swarm.
Sorry posting from phone and can’t move my icon. Yes I would like to move three space left (west). Thanks.
Jhen holds his ground as the rats swarm up his legs biting him through his clothing. He tries swatting them off with his Rapier.
Hope not," Jhen replies honestly. "Don't really like excrement or vomit. But here I am walking a sewer," He says with a laught as he looks around at his surroundings. Later when they encounter the rat swarm he hesitates and thinks about running away befor he advances with his sword. He swings with abandon at the writhing mass of rodents.
He considers while he rubs his chin and finally nods his head, "It will do in a pinch. Hopefully it doesn't come to that." He looks ro Saul with a forced grin, "Right now I'm more concerned about who was playing that flute."
Jhen shakes his head in disappointment while he looks at the old iron gate, "Might take a bit of time to get past that. Might be best it we doubled back and find out where that flute playing was coming from."
"Left," Jhen decides tilting his head in that direction.
Jhen tentatively follows alongside Saul he rapier held in front of him as if he trying to keep the evil at bay. "I'll keep a look out," he says hoping he doesn't step into anything squishy.
When Saul returns from below he asks, "What did you find my friend?"
Leveled up Average hit points.
Jhen wakes up late as usual and quickly preformed his ablutions before heading to the tea shop. He grunts, "Good Morning. Tea please." Once he has his morning brew he begins to feel more like himself and asks with his customary lopsided grin, "Whats the plan?"
Jhen makes his way back to the surface and plants himself at one of the tables in Laria's tea shop hoping to relax for a bit and enjoy a cup of tea before going to the Temple of Abdar and depositing his coin.
Worms perhaps, Jhen thinks playfully. With a smile still on his face he suggests, ”Perhaps we should retire and see to our own nourishment.
Jhen whispers to his companions, "Careful with what you tell them. We just met them and I don't want my head winding up in a noose."
With a flourish Jhen sheaths his rapier and silently listens to the questioning of the tengus.
Noting their defensive posture Jehn hesitates and realizes these are Tengus. He holds his sword level and demands, "Throw down your weapons and we will treat with you fairly."
With his wounds healed and memory of the alligator fleeing Jhen asserts, "My sword is at the ready if it comes to that."
”What makes you think there might be more bird people or something lurking,” Jhen asks as he looks around.
Jhen watches in amazement as the gash from the alligator bite begins to mend on its own accord. He turns to Saul, "Is the corpse in the water who we are looking for?"
”Keep your claws to yourself,” Jhen warns as he stabs his avian adversary.
Still hyperventilating from his encounter with the Gator Jhen rushes back into melee saluting Saul with his rapier, "Thanks!" He rushes his form and misses the bird.
Lossing his balance in the jaws of the gator Jhen weakly tries to stab the beast in the eye.
I'm currently in a pbp Kingmaker campaign and and I agree the kingdom mini game can be a grind. Also, the campaign, at times, does not give a clear direction on where to head or what to do and players can feel lost. The random encounters in book 1 really bog down play. In our pbp the GM cut out most of the random encounters and described/summarized the exploration of Hexes. Hope this helps/makes sense.
"There's something in the water," Jhen yells his voice raising an octave as he points under the pier. He steps between his companions and the shoreline, leveling his rapier at the beast, "Stay behind me."
Very Strange, can't be anything good, Jhen thought. He performs a small bow and puts on his best face, "After all you have done I would be happy to help."
