Kalia took one and put it in her belt pouch, then asked "Do you know what sort of enemy we'll face in the Monastery?"
"Perhaps it would be better to just tell us what you want us to do. A lever doesn't need to know why when pulled it opens a door; it just opens a door." said Kalia. She was clearly uncomfortable and wanted to be away from this place as soon as possible.
Kalia opens her mouth to say something (knowing her, something rather mean), when the group is teleported. She opts to instead allow one of the others to speak flowery words and chooses not to sabotage the attempt.
"Guess I have to kill an old woman now." said Kalia, who opts to move and smash Antal's Ant in the face.
Kalia smashed her hammer into the Ant again, hoping to beat it to death.
As the giant ant trapped her in it's fangs, Kalia retaliated by smashing her hammer down on it's body.
Here's a phrase I never heard before buying my place: Earnest Money.
Congrats, looks like I am not the only one busy with real estate :p Ya, it's a surreal experience, and waaaayyyy more paperwork than it should be.
Sorry for the delay. was sans internet since Friday. On the plus side I have a new Condo.
Kalia swung her hammer again, trying her best to kill these giant annoying insects.
Frustrated over the turn of events with the bees, Kalia decides to take it out on the giant ants. She charges one of them with a scream.
"This is a bad idea." Kalia grumbles to herself, but starts making her way across the clearing, skirting the "beehives" as best she can.
"Hopefully it does. This nonsense is making me angry." Kalia starts looking around for something she can burn.
"We need fire. Lots and lots of fire."
"Agreed." growls Kalia, who then storms out into the middle of the clearing and shouts "Greenskins, get your a@#es out here so you can die!"
Kalia seems unfazed by the island. It's clear that whatever is going on, it doesn't rise above her tolerance for annoying things.
"Probably Gnome." Kalia said in reply to Antal's comment.
Kalia sinks in the water up to near her shoulders, but shoves her way through the water and onto the shore. "Aye, let's go start a war."
"I don't really see any of us growing tentacles or anything like that. As long as if we show up injured you don't try and knife us to take our stuff, I think we can keep things peacible."
"What do you mean, my way?"
I'm good. I don't think I need anything right now.
"Let's go and meet this ship owner."
"I know a certain Sargeant that would do just fine." says Kalia.
"Well, at the very least we'll need directions on how to get there."
"We'll need a map." says Kalia.
Kalia snickers at Antal's comment.
Kalia coughs, but says nothing. She does, however, smile sweetly at the boy; those who do not know her might mistake her smile for being reassuring or kind. Those who know her know that she is saying everything that she might say aloud with that smile, and you would likely be hearing it all soon.
Without looking back, Kalia says "Don't drink all of that. I'll likely want some when we get back." as she walks out the door after the captain.
"I doesn't have to be Hobgoblins. It could be Gnomes. or Dragons. Or Trolls. or Gnomes. Or Giant Fire-Breathing lizards. Or Gnomes."
"By killing more Hobgoblins? You had me at 500 gold!" Kalia says with a wink.
The first sentence of her backstory sums it up well: Kalia is mean.
"Sure, I can tell you what I know: First off, there's Hobgoblins picking off farmers and taking over farms outside of town. Second, the Hobgoblins have joined up with necromancers, so they can brand people and turn them into undead. Third, you have to smash the head of the undead with something heavy like this" Kalia hefts her maul for emphasis "Finally, your baliff is a spineless, cowardly little pissant who I would call a man, but that would be an insult to babes still in swaddling clothes that are braver than he is. If I was a tracker, I coulda tracked his pissstain as he ran away; all this after he tried to arrest us."
"I always mind my manners. They're at home where I left them." with a wink and then she goes into the room.
"By the way, funny story: the Bailiff ran off like a little girl after talking all that good s#$t about us being common criminals and worthless mercenaries. If we didn't have bigger boulders to break, I would have shattered his kneecaps and kicked him down a flight of stairs. I wonder if he's still running like a little child?"
Like the man said, "The way I see it, we've only just begun!".
"If you have any priests about, you should have them bless the bodies so that they can't rise again like these creatures."
Kalia looked over at the Humans looting and waited to see what they did.
Level 2 benefits:
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
"Slaves. The purpose of this raid was likely slaves. They came with the purpose to take people, and they succeeded. We need to start searching the bodies they left to see if we can find anything that will tell us where they are from. You lot stay here and search the close bodies, and Gaelden and I will go and bring back farther ones." Turning to Gaelden, she says "Come on muscles, let's go."
"Can you tell us what happened here and where they took her?" Kalia said as she helped the old man up.
Kalia blocked the remaining creature's attack with the haft of her hammer, and then swung it towards the creature's mid section.
Kalia smashes her hammer into the enemy stupid enough to stand before her and try to stop her.
"Smash it's head. That's how the last one died!" calls Kalia as he moves to meet the two robed Humans. She swings at one's head, trying to make sure he doesn't get back up.
Kalia decides that the Hobgoblin that would have hit her is going to be her target. She feints towards the knees, then spins on a dime and swings full tilt towards the middle of his torso.
Kalia collapses.
