In the King's Hall: Kass nods and smiles, "Indeed, we've retrieved tha' shard. We've also some news tha' p'rhaps ye've heard err not".
Old Biddy: Kass takes a seat. "There are two who I have come to care for greatly. Both are allies but yet at odds with one another. I am unsure of how to resolve this conflict. What is it that can be done to quell this rivalry?"
Kassidy has been quiet ever since Brother Ó Máille saved his life. Truly God works through his ally, it shows him just how unworthy he was to join the ranks of the priesthood, would he have such faith as to perform such deeds even if he remained in the clergy? The rhetorical question lingers in his mind until the group reaches Mary Murphy's home. Indeed, there are several questions that Kass has he turns to Old Biddy, "Would it be possible to read my fate elsewhere...?"
I'll try to catch up tomorrow got behind a bit and I had a number of games I had to update as a DM.
I'll try to get to that and to leveling tonight, been trying to update the games I run with greater frequency so that east up a substantial amount of time on a given night.
We have enough Martial prowess methinks, I'll be advancing as a Rogue.
Constitution Kass continues to breathe but his eyes do not flicker open.
Kass hit the ground so hard the ground is going to feel that smack for weeks!!!!
Kassidy attacks the warrior that struck him Quarterstaff Attack
this time landing a solid blow. He tenses up a bit knowing that he may well find himself on the receiving end of yet another strike.
Especially if I keep rolling like s#%#...
Kass sees it clear as day, a direct line to the King. He takes his shot at cutting off the head of the snake... Kass steps up and swings his quarterstaff at the King's head. Quarterstaff Attack
--- Unfortunately, Kass' battle skills are not up to the opportunity given him and he misses.
Kass turns to Brother O'Maille and kneels down next to him, "Brother! Are ye well?"
Kassidy and Brother O'Maille: "Lord, though ah've failed you in so many ways that ah've lost count I trust that you will watch and guide me, your wayward sheep. It is with sincere humility that I prostrate before you my sins and failings in the hope that yer wisdom will allow me ta' learn from those mistakes an grow in wisdom meself.
Ah've been vain and covetous of tha' which ah lost and I hope that ye shall show me the path as to why such a fate has befallen me that I may no longer stray from yer path. I ask that you here and now grace Sean in the same such wisdom that we can see a way through err current dilemma and arrive at a fair and equitable outcome fer all parties involved".
Kassidy and Brother O'Maille: Kass is lost in thought for a few moments, "Brother, perhaps we ken all three o' us pray on it an see if'n the Lord delivers some divine inspiration to us?
Yer game Sean?"
Kassidy and Brother O'Maille: Kass nods in understanding, "Actually Sean, I understand perfectly well what you are going through.
My familial birthright has been taken away after a judgement made by the pro-reform Archbishop of Tuam, Cadla Ua Dubthaig. All my families' lands lost! Worse yet, I left the priesthood to claim them and was cheated of what was mine!" Kass seethes with rage, something O'Maille had never seen from Kass before. "Still, I ahm tryin' ta make a difference despite what happened ta me. I am not sure of my place in the world anymore. What I am sure of is that I'd like ta' see justice done. Are ya lookin' ta join the clergy cause ya believe in tha' Lord an wish to devote yerself ta him err cause ya've no other choice? If ya want ta do it cause ya wish ta serve, then I suppose I could support yer callin'. Doin' it fer the wrong reason though ya won't make a difference, just another mistake. Make me believe ya want it, not that ya've decided ta tale the cloth cause nothin' else ta turn to in recourse".
With Sean (and Brother O'Maille?): Kass nods, "Right. Tell me, if'n yer sister wasn't 'ere makin' waves o' trouble, what would ye' want in exchange fer yer testimony? I'm thinkin' ye've got ta' have a request more reasonable than hers no?"
While the others seek Fintan, Kass attempts to seek out Sean. After all, his sister cannot be with him at all times. Perhaps alone Sean will be more amenable to compromise.
Kass shakes his head, "There's no way that ye should go alone Aoife. What happens if'n this time yer assaulted by those who'r not swayed from dastardly bandit deeds?"
Kass sighs, "This is indeed a difficult place fer us ta' be in. Yer Sanctuary once extended Father c'n be withdrawn. We could trade Sean fer the Shard. Surely their lands would fall back inta tha' hands of Brigit but that'd just mean that they would end up being owned by Padriac. A loss fer tha' Church but an expansion o' power fer Largay. We could threaten them so an see if'n their terms become more ehhh reasonable".
"I will".
Kass pulls Aoife aside after she speaks with the boys but before they approach Sean and Father O'Maille, "You may no fear the Queen but ye should. She is ruthless. Pushing her in such a manner is no good for any of us. Speak to Fintan in private about curtailing her influence but do no challenge her in such a direct manner again lest she be the one who... S!%&, do you think she was tha' party what hired the Green Man ta kill us? Who else knew our intended destination?"
Kass nods at the suggestion, "I agree that Sean Quinn would be tha' best witness. But we also aided in his escape and Sanctuary from tha' very same King of Boho. To utilize him in defendin' tha' claim to tha' fragment may well spark a war wit' Boho. Is the fragment so important as to take such a drastic step Fintan? One way err another ah'm behind ya but tha' fact o' it should no be ignored. O course, such a war may take place regardless once it's discovered tha' Sean still lives".
Understood. I am good with how the game is progressing no worries on that front.
Amergin, Thorun, and Kassidy: "I do believe tha' Sean would. However, while it may settle a dispute it would also ignite another. We should ascertain from Fintan if tha' prize is werth tha' trials that may ensue therafter...
As fer Brigit, well, ah'm not sure she'd testify on our behalf."
No, I will update now and try to get my posts in more frequently, feel free to BOT me as needed if I am slowing things down. Just wanted to clarify that my lack of posting is due to RL issues and not lack of interest in the game.
No worries DM, my posting has been spotty as of late for various reasons, likely by February/March when the whole Holidays/Divorce thing is done my spottiness will be a thing of the past :-)
Traveling with the Bard: Kass considers the question posed to him, "Let's travel through Airgialla an' head t'wards Enniskillen. Better the Devil we know aye?"
"Splitting up does seem the best course, Aoife wit the children ta be certain. As that is the case, Aoife, who would you wish with you?" As she responds Kass nods, "Yer correct, it seems Ruadhán makes the most sense while Brother Ó'Máille and Thorun come with me 'n the Bard. I bet we've more've a chance at encountering ah... difficulties along the way as none'll be lookin' fer ya'. Still, wit' what we 'read from tha' Hood seems someone is out fer us all. Both o' the groups will need ta' be cautious".
I'll update tomorrow night, thanks for the patience DM!
Kass shakes his head at Aoife's outburst, "I did not mean help them murder people. I meant help them find the conscience they so badly need". --- In the Night - Thorun & Kass:
Kass approaches Thorun and whispers to him, "I suspected that might be a way to "dispose" of Aoife. Besides that, I'm not fer murderin' her. If she arrives back wit' us though, the Queen'll have our heads if'n she can. Yer thoughts?" ---
Kass wakes early and prays to God for Guidance in the coming events of the day. He then takes a piss so wicked, the Devil might not allow it in hell!
Kass has been taking it all in amazed at the man's connection to God. As potent if not more potent than Brother Ó Máille. "Aye, I will aid these wayward children". Kass frowns and turns to Aoife, "Does it make sense that after we accomplish what we have been bid to do that you join with the Green Man? There is much good that you can do with this band..."
Kassidy, Thorun, and Ruadhan: Knowledge Local Knowledge Nobility Kass nods to Ruadhán, "Well met. A friend of Thorun, especially one who saved his life so he could in turn save mine, is a friend I'd like to share more than one drink with!" After they settle in to the Tavern Kass addresses Ruadhán, "We've only just arrived ourselves, tell me, what brings you here?"
My idea was that by paying homage and then visiting with the Bishop that might provide us with a contact to ease our way to meeting with the King. Of course the busiest weekend I've had in weeks if not months is when every game I am a PC in decide to blow up! Regardless, checking in now!
"We should attend Mass ta' pay our respects and then seek tha' Bishop ta' accomplish what we came for, agreed?"
Kass shouts out a prayer to God to spare his loyal servant!
Kass sighs, "I say we trust him. We free you. You tell us how to get to Armagh. Once we arrive safely, have tha' Green Man contact us as we would like to meet with him. Not only te' discuss how we c'n settle tha' contract wit' no bloodshed but how we can help he an his ken the Hoods. I am sure the rest of my companions here agree, slavery is the least noble thing about our people. There's threats from wit'out that'd enslave us all, if'n we're to resist 'em, how can we have slaves within?" Sense Motive
"He's the leader of these "Hoods" I'd not have thought to meet him. I think it's easier ta' kill a man ya've not broken bread wit'. We spared his man's life, that ought to be at least worth a conversation afore we get ta' the killin' no? Tis bad luck to kill a Priest after all".
"Perhaps we should have a meeting with the Green Man, Can you bring us to him?"
Knowledge Local "The Hood eh? So you were once a slave? To what King and why attack us?"
Kassidy will flat out run in a direction he thinks the pursuer is going to try and cut him off from (presumably) his mount.
"We should spread out a bit but not be too far away from each other that we can rally together if needs be". Perception .
"That's why I think the dummies again. I saw him or her just ride off. They'll need to regroup giving us some time to reposition ourselves for a possible ambush".
Kass considers charging but as he lacks a bow he knows it is pointless to pursue. He heads back to camp, "Damn, came close that time. I think it's time to set up our dummies once more and see if we can't catch this stalking rider..."
The Dane's voice could wake the damn dead and despite how dead Kass feels, he wakes up. Once more, he takes to the shadows and keeps his eyes peeled for their attacker. He parys to God once more to catch this damned Bastard! .
This time Kass does not wake unless prompted by Thorun, after all, he is on the last watch and has had little sleep already.
Kass whispers a spell for Luck. Though groggy, he begins to move into the darkness to try and find this stalker. Stealth
Perception
Kass rides in quiet contemplation though he is aware of the surroundings.
