It's not looking good, but I'm with you on that one. :)

Hey folks. Sorry for my recent disappearance. The last couple weeks or so has been a little rough. The issue that I was having with my tooth wound up turning around and hitting me -literally- square in the face. I got seriously infected, and I had to wait a few days before any of the dentists in town were willing to look at me. Thankfully, I've been on another round of antibiotics which has been getting rid of the infection, and I should (hopefully) finally be taking care of the troublesome tooth. I'll be going through my games as I am able and playing catch up. I hope that everyone else is staying healthy. I'm still interested in this game, if the others are. I've barely gotten to scratch the surface with Keezheekoni.
Keezheekoni gives her his usual broad grin in response as he adjusts his gear to allow for better movement and strap down loose equipment to keep from making too much noise, as he was taught by the hunters of his tribe.
While unhappy that they wound up giving someone so precious to such a retched creature, Keezheekoni is just as happy to be away from the place. As they are looking at the old boarding house, the Shoanti man speaks up, his usual smile back in it's usual place. "I have learned some of the sneaking arts while living out in the wilds of the Cinderlands, though my elders tease that I hunt like a pack of wild horses in stampede. Still, I can be helping, if you like."
Something tells me that he's not going to go back to just 10gp. If pressed, K will help out, but he'd rather shove his hammer down his own throat. :p
Enraged by the callous man, Keezheekoni shows a side that has been slow in coming until now. "I think that we have been more than generous with you," he growls. "Now it is your turn to give."
Keezheekoni wrinkles his nose and is unable to hide the disgust on his face at the creature before him. He lets Alistar do the talking, but keeps his eyes on Fenster, his hands ready on his earthbreaker.
Keezheekoni seems reluctant to agree, but eventually he gives in with a sigh and tosses a coin into the box.
Keezheekoni scoffs. "One does not provide gifts for one such as this Fenster. One only gifts to another that which they are worth." He holds up his great Earthbreaker for the others to see clearly. "This is the only worth I am willing to imbue to such a one."
Apologies on my side. I'm still struggling a bit to find Keezheekoni's voice, and being out of his element (city, as opposed to wilderness) makes him come across as observant and not very chatty. I'll do my best to post more often.
Keezheekoni smiles in return to the man, pleased with the care and respect put into his work. He take back his klar, and presses a gold piece into the man's work-worn hands. "May the sun forever shine on your days and it's fires burn away your cares and troubles," he recites with some measure of passion and conviction.
Keezheekoni watches the old man work with interest.
"You're hands work well in their appointed tasks," he comments to the old man. He unhooks his Klar and hands it to the man. "This has been in need of some care. Would you please be willing?"
Keezheekoni grins, following along in the wake of his companions' enthusiasm. He doesn't let it distract him from watching around him for danger or suspicious behavior.
"These people are hardly lost. They are the same as you and I, people aren't wholly defined by their surrounding." Nodding in agreement, Keezheekoni adds, keeping an eye on their surroundings. "The opposite is actually more to the truth. One's surroundings is more often defined by those who live within. And these streets are nearly as wild as the Cinderlands."
Things be crazy, yo. ;) No worries. I'm sure that we've all got stuff going on in these crazy times. Just be sure to stay safe and healthy.
Keezheekoni grins down at Krystal, amused at the banter between his companions. "You have a free spirit, filled with life and fire. We will be getting along well, you and I" He turns his attention back to the road ahead as he adds, "But let us not forget that we are doing this for someone else, and they are counting on our ability to work together. We should be quick about it."
Keezheekoni nods as well, looking pleased to be moving once more. He makes sure to place the voucher into the guards hands for his weapons and gives the man a wide grin before leaving. "This wilderness of stone is vast and varied. I am glad that we get to see many different parts of it. The flame dances with excitement."
Keezheekoni bows to Officer Kasadei in respect. "You can be believing in us. We shall look into these matters and let you know of our findings." Then looking back at the group, "Shall we copy down the directions and go find a missing woman. Surely this Fenster the Blight will be a horrible person hopefully he will at least he chatty." Giving the man his big, toothy grin, Keezheekoni "I am agreeing. We should be making all haste to finding the causing of the missing peoples."{/b] He turns then to Krystal, giving her a slight bow, [b]"I have not introduced myself. I am Keezheekoni of the Sklar-Quah. It is good to be meeting you."
Throughout the conversation, Keezheekoni has been leaning against the wall, absorbing everything being said, like a fire slowly burning through it's fuel. Finally, he speaks up, "This thing you would be asking of us is something that we would have been doing anyways. People are having their lives taken away, even if only for a short time, and this is not acceptable. We would certainly accept this task, but any and all aid towards this goal would be appreciated."
"As my companion here is saying, these people are still going missing, whether you say rumor are true or false. Whether the stealer are Nidalese, or someone else. Would appreciate any information that you are having about this."
Keezheekoni nods and stays on his feet, leaning against the wall.
Keezheekoni pats Arturr on the shoulder with a friendly smile. "We will get to the bottom of things soon, my friend."
The more senior guard in front of the entry hall tells you. "It's cut down on all the fighting... Especially from you hot headed Shoanti!" He finishes saying it and looks at you (up) and gives you a quick smile as if to say that was in jest. Keezheekoni looks down at the guard, then returns the smile with one of his overly large grins, though it's a bit tough to tell if he's being sincere or not.
Suspicious of the guards' mirth, Keezheekoni scrutinizes them, looking for some kind of sign that anything is out of place.
When asked for his weapon, he protests at first, but is easily swayed when a reasonable explanation is given. He gives up his Earthbreaker, butdoes his best to hang onto his Klar, if possible.
Keezheekoni nods in agreement, but then adds, "We should make sure to be back here before nightfall. This was the timing that was told to us about when the slavers were active in this area."
Dang. Sucks how players can drop like flies, sometimes. :( Either way, welcome to the fold, Patrick!
Keezheekoni steps out of the room and looks back to the others. "This room is looking empty and uninteresting. Perhaps we should be thinking of another plan."
Not a ton to choose from. I would have to agree, for a couple different reason: 1) he submitted the character at the beginningl, which should give a bit of a leg up; 2) the first female member of the group!; 3) kinda ties into #2, being female might actually make the character easier to introduce what with the current happenings in the story.
Keezheekoni moves cautiously into the room, looking for anything of note.
"It seems like it's all clear over here, Keezheekoni." Being given the all-clear, Keezheekoni opens the door at the North-eastern part of the building.
Keezheekoni holds up, waiting to see if anything specific is found through the other door.
While Arturr moves towards the back rooms, Keezheekoni checks the other door to see if there is anything of note.
I am mostly okay with any of those options as well, though I don't think that I will be able to do much more to fill in the missing pieces. It would probably fall more to the Alchemist in this regard. In the end, finding a new player may be the best option, as you've said yourself: This AP requires a good skill player. But if we want to NPC Estel for a while to see if he's able to come back, I'm okay with that.
Keezheekoni nods to himself sagely, "We should examine the rest of the building quickly, but it is looking like we have broken into this place like common criminals, without reason or right."
Take care of your wife. She deserves it. As much as it sucks, this stuff is always secondary. Hope that she recovers well.
Keezheekoni makes his way into the abandoned inn with the others and takes a look around. "If this place is for the hiding out, then it's either really hidey, or not so much." He looks specifically to see if there has been any sign of others passing through the building at all.
Keezheekoni sighs, but then shrugs as if the end result is all that matters. He continues to watch for observers, and leaves his hammer on his back until they are finally able to enter the building.
Keezheekoni speaks up before Alistar starts ripping into the building. "If we can't find any obvious signs of entry, perhaps we should sit in wait for these slavers to show up. If they truly are using this place for nefarious purposes, then any damage done may alert them to our presence."
Keezheekoni stands nearby, keeping an eye outward towards the street for anyone that may be paying too much attention to them. "Let's not spend too much time. We do not need bad attentions on us."
Keezheekoni looks at Alistar quizzically for a moment, then breaks out into one of his broad, toothy grins.
Hearing about the possibility of finding the rumored slavers, Keezheekoni seems to bristle with anger. "Few details or not, if we have a clear place to look for these slavers, then we should grab hold - like the tail of a tiger - and not let go. We should find out what we can of this Puffy Pelican and find out what activities happen there at night."
I know for myself I've been feeling a bit sluggish regarding postings, so I'm going to dig in a bit more to get my postings up to snuff. :)
I am trying not to get the Disney channel but I might lose that fight :) I paid for the year, so we'll see what happens when that runs out, but in general, I can't say that I'm disappointed. Doesn't hurt, I guess, that we've always had Disney movies around to watch since I was little, so it's pretty much old hat for me. Also, Happy New Year, all. :)
Sorry to hear that your holidays didn't go the greatest, but it's all good in the hood when you're with family, right? :) Haven't seen the Witcher yet. Honestly not top of my list, but I'll get there. Did finish watching The Mandalorian, though. Loved it! Also watched a crap load of anime. Also enjoyed Rise of Skywalker, and I'll admit... I blubbered like a baby at the scenes with Leia.
Sorry to hear that you've been having such a rough time. Make sure to take care of yourself.
Keezheekoni frowns. "If many peoples are disappearing, then maybe we should be finding the common things that tie these together."
"These Girls of Tower are also looking for Natalya," says Keezheekoni, looking a little pensive. "I'm not thinking that they would be very cooperative with us. Sczarni are not known to be very trustworthy or forthcoming."
Keezheekoni asks the man, in his rumbling voice, "If there were some place that Natalya would go to ground, would you know of it?"
Keezheekoni looks down at the old man with a bit of a judgemental look, arms crossed over his chest. After a brief moment of silence, he fetches the coin purse that he wrapped up earlier and fetches out the requested 17 gp . |
