He asks as he and Quince emerge, "So to the next tower then?"

"Yes Quince, let us explore what was once a rat's den." He says and pushes into the ruined tower. Looking for anything of value.
Round 1 Taking his fiery sword in hand he tries to hack and slash at the rats around him and even on him. Though with the multitude of rats and a lucky one who bit his hand he nearly dropped his sword.
Quietly he says, "Okay I will open the door, Krazok will step in and do his breath attack, unless Quince and Cleonora have something to add?"
Looking around he shrugs... He offers, "I don't see anything of worth, let us go check out another of the towers." Upon a nod or agreement he quickly leaves the tower and heads over to the other side of the tower, the North Eastern tower.
Cleo: He offers, "Well then, let us go back and collect the rest of the group unless you want to investigate the other path?"
"Welcome to the life of a standard adventurer." He offers with mirth. "And we are no standard adventurers!" He squats down and begins to carefully loot a corpse.
"I have lost way too many, and then twice that number I have killed. I am sure they are all very experienced in that part of life. I don't think you are the only one with bloody background. I could be wrong. Quince and Katrina probably not, though most of the others..." He leaves it off there willing to continue if she presses.
"No... really?" He states with obvious sarcasm. He bites onto this to move away from the other conversation, "There are not many special or even many normal people that could take on a position of a Warden very easily. I hear there are a few applicants but it is a very short list."
He nods in understanding, "Nothing we can do to prepare for them then."
"No... it's the truth. We can't prepare for everything. Are there others that I don't know about that might rise? I also understand if you don't want to talk about it. Like my family." He says trying to reassure her.
He looked pained at your words but nodded in agreement.
He smiled as her hand went atop of his. Looking up into her face he explained, "I know, thank you. There are no immediate threats but as I have begun my training as a warden, I am learning what I can do to better protect you."
"No, I have just had a lot on my mind. Too much to prepare for. I need to stop stressing about it." He sighed and relented telling of the age old method of being prepared...
He had excused himself somewhere along the conversation and returns as Quince is leaving. He nods to Quince and gives him a friendly smile. He does what he can to help but waits for Cleo to say something.
"Sometimes it is good to just take a day trip! If the kingdom can't survive without the three of you for a day or two, then maybe you need to delegate a bit more. Then again not my shoes... Thanks for inviting us and was there something else we needed to explore?! I know Ole Belemean said something of a tower and a crystal or will we delegate that to the Rangers too?" He says diplomatically hoping to sate se nerves.
He stays by Cleo's side for the festivities with Krazok and the lizardfolk. He enjoys himself by eating anything given to him and trying to have a good time.
He offers to work on parts that are not as essential or could just use a rough saw to do. Attempting to help away from the choice parts.
"Obviously... So who is the best at skinning or trophy collecting?" He says impressed that in one volley they were able to take down the drake. "I have a basic understanding of what to do but that is about it."
He draws his bow and he slows his breathing as he stands next to Cleo away from the others. He aims and waits...
"Hmmmm... if we had time Sulvanii could make this place a death trap like the hideout."
"A killer?" He asks confused. Cleo: He simply smiled at her enjoying the closeness and returns her kisses in kind. He re-wraps his arms around her and gets even more comfy ready to sleep as they are together.
"To the South then?!" He asks as the group heads to their mounts. Cleo: As she moaned into his mouth and she tightened around him he let go to ride the bliss train too. Fully enjoying the pleasure of just being with her and all the perks.
He just lay with her for several minutes. As his cock began to shrink he flexed it likely drawing another moan from her. He continued to kiss her softly and smiling each time she looked at him. He couldn't close his eyes as he was ensorcered by her beauty.
"Thank you for the quest and offering of services, we will be back once we have... the crystal." He states and gets up, opening the door for the rest to leave by. Cleo: He kissed her back letting his body continue the rhythm as he looked in her eyes. He was in bliss. Her words brought his attention and he responded in kind, "I love you, Cleonora." Then his lips went for more kisses as his body tangled with hers.
Round 11 He looks back at the gnome and says, "Thank you for taking down the webbing." Then he walks forward...
He nods at the details, "A red glowing crystal, in a tower or keep, we will keep our eyes out for it!" Cleo: He lightly moaned at the pain but as she dug her nails harder into his flesh he hissed in response, though not enough pain that he lost his focus.
He smiled back at her enjoying all the pleasure that was to be had, and doing his best to prolong the experience. His cock riding in and out as he gasped for air. He stopped once to gain his focus as the pleasure was almost too much. Soon he was back to his rhythm only to slow down at seeing her smile and the hand on his face.
Round 10 He moved forward with Quince to the webbing and asks the group, "Who is hurt, who can cure? Sindri you said it was an enervator? The black flame that drained me, will that pass?"
Finishing Round 9 As Quince runs into the courtyard he quickly follows with a move action. "Quince don't run off! Sindri can you dismiss your web please!"
Cleo:
As her leg moved and allowed him to push into her, his fingers found her nipples and twisted. Little by little adding more pressure to the twist. As he pushed farther and farther into her pussy. His kissing slowly began to lack as he was focusing on his hands and rock hard cock. Turning her over slightly so he had a better angle of approach rocking in and almost out. He moaned with pleasure and gave her a quick kiss before focused again. As Quince passes the papers, he would look over it an nod, "Should we find any, do they need to be brought to you in a certain time. Maybe they should be kept fresh somehow? Suggestions madame?"
He slashes it as it leaves and then charges to the spot of the smoke and attacks again!
Flame Tongue His attacks slam into the demons back and he tries to follow it, tapping his shoes to each other as he moves to deactivate the haste effect.
"I don't think it is here anymore... nothing but smoke..." He states and slashes his sword side to side in case it is still there. At the end of Round 9 as he can't feel it, and likely someone tells the group it is gone by some magical means, he puts his sword into the ground for a moment and states, "Don't worry about my wounds, they are healed. Now where is that monk of ours?"
Adjusts five feet again and he is able to release a full attack with haste upon the demon.
Flame Tongue His attacks slam into the demons neck and then with lighting fast speed with the help of the spell he hits behind the leg to devastating effect.
"I only know the world of men really. I haven't dabbled with much of the forces of monsters... well abberations but that just comes with dungeoneering. Anyone know anything?!"
Cleo:
"So true..." He replies enjoying the last articles of clothing to drop to the floor. He was about to add something else but took to the kissing in full passion to match her gusto.
With her leverage they easily move back and they fall onto the bed together. His hands no longer on her hips but rising to knead each of her pert breasts, teasing the nipples with faint brushes. Meanwhile his tongue is playing with hers as their lips lock. His rigid cock tightens further as he moves his hips to allow his cock movement to find her pussy. Finding it he lets his head tease around, though he aims high to tap her clit. Hmmmmmm....
Cleo:
He waited but his hands were at play. Slowly moving over her skin. His smile widened at her first statement.
He kissed her back. Then he added a quip in after she was done, "I aim to please! Though you didn't make it easy." By now his hands were on her hips and teasing. He sat there like the supposed witch just watching. His guard was still up and he was ready to act but not invested in the conversation.
Jorne snarls as the beast moved... but with a simple adjustment of five feet he is able to release a full attack with haste upon the demon.
Flame Tongue Flame Tongue His attacks slam into the demons neck and then with lighting fast speed with the help of the spell he hits behind the leg to devastating effect.
Oops I forgot to add I was hasted, I will add it next turn... 2 attacks which will I do?
Round 5 He activates his boots and gains haste... he quickly moves out of the reach of the demon and goes around it. Tumbling in the last 5 feet before finishing his turn.
As there is no ally adjacent to him, he would instead try using Strike of the Infinite Protector, though as he misses nothing happens but you can all hear him shout, "I Jorne Stavain solemnly swear to protect Lord Commander Quince Medvyed during this fight and as long as the Greenwatch exists!"
Round 5 As an immediate action he calls out "Fear the Reaper"!
Though his counter falls on deaf ears and the black flame hits him. As he shifts his stance to an aggressive one stating with a growl, "No more protection of movement, now we end you! If we can get it flanked that would be best!"
His Flametongue slices forth with an extra swish of the blade distracting the demon to allow Quince an Attack of Opportunity upon the thing.
Quince: Remember: When in combat and the sworn protector’s ward is within 10ft of their ward’s position, the ward gains a +1 morale bonus to their AC and savings throws. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level, and every four levels after that (9th, 13th, and 17th level). Additionally, the sworn protector may add her guardianship bonus to her attack and damage rolls as a morale bonus if the ward is within the sworn protector’s guardianship range.
He can also: Defensive Intercept (Ex) With swift speed and trained instincts, a sworn protector is capable of sudden bursts of speed in the defense of a chosen ward. A number of times per day equal to 1 + the sworn protector’s warder initiation modifier she may leap to her ward’s defense with lightning speed. As an immediate action, the sworn protector moves up to her base speed to a space within 10 ft. of a ward who is being subjected to an attack or effect that would cause harm, to thereby grant her guardianship benefits. This movement is subject to attacks of opportunity. If the sworn protector is too distant to reach her ward, she cannot use this ability. [with a speed of 50!!!]
Cleo:
He was obviously not shy though seeing your cheeks turn even darker a bit of blush likely went over his.
He stood there letting her take off his clothes, armor, and equipment. Moving and helping when needed but shy of moving his legs is was all relatively easy to get off after making it loose. "Cleonora, what are you thanking me for this time?" He looked here and there, before whispering, "So Krazok you said we should come meet this Old Beldame right, you mind speaking up?"
Round 4 He charges back towards the gnome hearing his cries of worry. Exiting the gates once more with his flaming longsword in hand, going over the spriggans now small body but around the door to find a large black demon before him and yells, "Everyone! We have a demon to banish!!! Get over here! NOW!" Then he flicks his longsword at the demon to test its defensive abilities. fire then acid damage With the inflicted damage he marks the demon, with his Armiger’s Mark. Wickedly grinning at the creature before him. Taking on the Valiant Keeper’s Stance, he also yells, "Quickly you won't provoke attacks of opportunity when moving through squares I threaten. Sindri you should get away from it!"
Cleo:
He continued to take care to touch and undress her with care and intentional touches. Slipping off her undergarments his fingers slide over delicate skin. If you could see him his smiled deepened into a grin at her question almost as if a challenge.
It was his turn and he states, "I am game if you want to... do you want to undress me now?" He would wait for the others to offer diplomatic words but should the need arise he stood ready. Though his sword remained in its sheath. He rubbed his mud logged boots in the grass.
Cleo:
He smiles and states, "We can easily use stop, but should you want the thrill of saying stop and wanting me to keep going, then we use a safe word. Just saying." He would stop with the buckle and run his hands over her shoulders. "Let me help you with your clothes." He says with a sly twinkle in his eye and a change to his voice to be softer. Running his hands down the front of your shirt and looking for buttons with intentional rubbing over your breasts.
He shrugs at the information he knows nothing of her except rumors that he will not say.
Walking up to fort He casts shield other upon Quince with a wand and then puts it away. Quince:
After the incident with Saibien, he became a bit protective of Cleo to say the least. This is now upon you, and he would have had a long talk with each Warden. Particularly about the following:
the sworn protector may select a ward, a person whom she must protect no matter what the cost. When in combat and the sworn protector’s ward is within 10ft of their ward’s position, the ward gains a +1 morale bonus to their AC and savings throws. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level. To select a ward, the sworn protector must take ten minutes discussing tactics and practicing with his ward so that he may learn how best to protect him, and from there on he practices those tactics when he readies his maneuvers. Surprise Round Seeing as Quince lights him on fire he moves back though still within 5 feet. Pulling out one of his wands he casts a spell in defense on himself, shield. "Azareth Abjur Discos." Round 1
On Cleo's other side he states, "Don't worry Cleonora, no harm will come to you or Katraina if I am able to stop it." He seems to be able to echo off Katrina's thoughts, then again that has been the only thought he has been driven by for weeks now after Saiben's defeat. Cleo: He followed her lead following behind with a sway in his step. He slaps her butt in a playful manner as they get near the bed. He then asks, "Safe word tonight? You in charge or me?" He begins to unbuckle his belt. Greedily looking upon his love.
He stands to the side of Cleo and smiles at Katrina. He shrugs at the thought of needed another, as the four of them should be plenty though he leaves it up to Quince. He would ask with a raise eyebrow, "Dragon Hunting?" Cleo: If Cleo wasn't going to take him away from her office then he would just enjoy her lips here. He teased her lips and pulled back a few times to keep her guessing when his lips would land on hers. Just enjoying the moment of quiet isolation with her.
"Of course if talking fails, we can tell them we can blast them just like the crows..." He says with a snide smile!
"To the point St. John said, we might be best in the field of pyrotecnics. Sindri if you would fill us in on your capabilities besides a fireball. Also anyone else have some flashy spells or tricks up their sleeves?" He points out nodding to St. John and then putting his hand out for Sindri to begin explaining.
The more lawfully inclined characters may have to be drawn out of inherently subservient behavior. Too true! Most of the lawful characters are more apt to follow your orders. Though those that are chaotic might even oppose your actions or at least would want to point out other options, depending on how chaotic you are really playing your character. To that point I am considering my alignment has changed some since the last time I was played... Yes that is right, I just changed my alignment from NG to LG!
"I can go and fetch Katrina if that is your wish? She is over with the elk off in the fields. Also I can keep watch at the gate while Dinenen is resting." He puts emphasis on the word 'resting' as he knows there is likely more than rest involved.
"Note to self, learn Sylvan." He says out loud and goes to check on the mounts. He is also glad that Larina decided to stay back with Ash and the other mounts. "Hey, Larina. How are things? Bliss in marriage?" He casually says to her as he checks the elk. Cleo: Seeing her look at the table he brings it up, "Do we need to move your office and new furniture?" Once he gets an answer from her he pulls her hands off his chest pulling her playfully away from him it is a bit awkward then he gives her kisses all over her face.
Jorne knows he could be out scouting but is choosing to stay beside Cleo. He walks around with her thus also with Quince. At Quince's order he pulls another arrow from his quiver and lines it up to his bow... Time passes, rounds, minutes. "Lord Commander, I still don't see anything."
Cleo:
"You know I miss the big royal baths. I know it's not something simple but I am sure we could come up with something. Maybe we need to track down some hot springs. Then build a house there." He offers as his arms still hold her close, moving his chin down he kisses her forehead. "Do you want to have some fun here or should we go to your room?" "For now we have Sunshine on loan from Katrina. She said Sunshine needed to be ridden as she is tending to the elks." He points out as he walks her into the stables. Sunshine has a saddle and reigns, ready to go and a stable boy brings it forward.
