Waiting here won't help. We have to move and explore, find the dragon and defeat it..Something that hasn't been done in ages, but we had nothing really important to do today anyway.

I have some rope in my traveling bag. I hope 50 feet will be enough. Maybe someone else has some rope too?
Errr... who's speaking?Are you alone?
I never dreamt I would see a dragon alive. Now I just hope I will never see it from the inside. We have to fight it. You say it's still young, Varis? Could it went back to it's parents?
Kellandra hastily puts her sword down and nick an arrow on her bow. But the arrow flies wide, as she shakes with fear at the sight of the mythical beast
It didn't attack? It cast a spell on us so we can't see it, while it can probably see us! Wake up man! Don't stay too close to each other! Kellandra tries to find her way out of the darkness, while trying to remember bits and odds and legends about the powers of dragons
My pleasure. No need to risk getting hurt in a battle if art can bring peace. Let's move quickly now
Kellandra sighs and readies her luth, playing a song before the gator looks more aggressive
Let's find out about the place, but remember to be cautious. We have more foes than friends around. keep your eyes and ears open
Let's walk cautiously, there might be foes and natural hazards around
Kellandra tries to get some information from the Que-Shu tribes, hoping to have news about the reptilian spies and armies whereabouts
I'm not sure, we'd better follow Riverwind and hope for the best!
Beware, they are covered in some kind of icky glue...Your weapon might get stuck! Kellandra moves to help Varis
Kellandra strikes at the closest foe, slashing with her big sword
Kellandra draws her big sword, and cautiously readies it for a strike shall she be attacked. She has no clue how clumsy she will be...
Maybe next time you should consider letting me talk?
We wish you safe travel, and soft weather on the roads. Kellandra is on the look out searching for anything suspicious
Well, if he does the talking, we better prepare for a fight. Kellandra asks in a hurry to the soldier Do you want my help? Maybe I could find some arguments and deflect their attention elsewhere..
You know the road to Xak Tsaroth better than anyone, Riverwind, lead us here, please.
Kellandra plays a ballad on her luthe, trying to soothe her own fears in the music
It sounds beautiful, but she isn't really happy with her performance, knowing she could have done better. if food is served, she eats, if not, she tries to hunt something for breakfast
On vacation (without computer ) from tomorrow 20 July until 23 July, please bot me as needed
The more informations we get on this dragon, the more prepared to fight it we can be. We will need powerful armors and weapons, and we will need to trust each other, to learn to fight as a team. What do WE know, currently, about dragons?
Do you know what we can find in Xak Tsaroth? Did someone inform you about the staff and why it must be returned in that place? Do you know anything about the staff itself?
Kellandra sits and eats, a little more hungry after a long walk in the woods Thanks to you, it has been a long day.And we hadn't had time to eat at the inn..
Let's put some distance between us and the pursuers.
Kellandra tries to guide the group out of the woods
There seems to be trouble ahead..Do you want to fight?
Let's go to Xak Tsaroth.Maybe there are other clues about the wills of the gods there.
Maybe that staff might be the lever to tip us back into faith, the crowbar to open humanity's souls to the gods, who knows? Whatever it might be, it was enough to put a whole army of vile creatures on the edge, looking and asking for it. Even if its not a mystical magical object, it might be a symbol, something to believe in. Goldmoon, do you mind if I cast a simple spell to determinate if the staff you hold is magic or not? It might be a first step.
Kellandra descend the ladder, then says I agree we have to speak, but not here or now. Lets put some distance first between us and the goblins.
Let's go. We don't know how many goblins there is around. Kellandra tries to remember if she has already heard the name of Verminaard, while guiding the other toward the exit
Kellandra moves quickly to cut the goblins retreat, so they can't get out of the inn easily. if we started this we'll have to get to the end of it. No goblin should raise the alarm too soon.
Congrats! On your way to be the next Pope maybe? ^^
My name is Kellandra. I am a traveler, a wanderer, a bit like yourself. I know and understand new faces, new places, can be a little frightening. And I know how long the road can be. So please take a warm meal, and a few drinks. A gift, from a wanderer to fellow wanderers. Kellandra asks the servant to come bac for her guests to order more food. I've been with a larger group than you. The roads aren't secure. I truly hope you haven't seen too much troubles on your own. To be honest, an hour or so before we arrived here, we have been questioned by a small troup of goblins. I guess you were more fortunate, or more discreet than us.
Come, weary travelers, have a seat, a drink and a meal on me. With or without the gods to guide us, we can till be decent folks. Kellandra smiles and pats the seat near her
Hearing the "the gods have abandoned us" speech-once again-Kellandra tries to defuse the situation before arguments give way to a fist fight. Or worse. She personnally wouldn't like to get a knuckle sandwich from the big minotaur guy. Personal note: don't get in a beef with a minotaur. Hehe. To each his own opinion. If the gods wanted to come back, who I am to stop them? I'm a mere mortal, and they are gods. At least, if they came back knocking on my door, metaphrically speaking, I would listen to their side of a story, as if they were an old friend with whom I had a falling out years ago, and who would like to rekindle the relationship. Then I would make my choice. But now, to dinner, I'm hungry.
Kellandra orders to the servant some ale too, please, "whatever's roasting on the spit", as my fellow traveler said, the scent is mouth watering, and bread. And some roasted potatoes too. The roads made me hungry. While we are waiting, would your boss mind if I play some music and sing? We can always make room in our hearts and souls for more beauty
They are numerous, and vicious, treacherous foes. So they are mostly used as foot soldiers, where they hope to overrun their opponents, and that the fatal blow will fall on the next goblin, not theirs. Not that much different that any human army, when you think about it. Kellandra thinks a little, then says That big, fat goblin leader was a little more cunning that I expected. I tried to get some information out of his mouth, but he wasn't as gullible as I thought. She turns to Varis and adds
Because you'll meet more enemies than friends in your life anyway? says Kellandra with a smirk
Kellandra lowers her bow, and talks to the goblin who seems in charge It's been a long road, and we only want to get some food and rest in a safe place. Can we pass, as we don't have the staff you are looking for, obviously? She pauses for a few seconds, then adds
GM:
Kellandra will do her best to pass for human (disguise for another race-2, pass for human feat +10), as elf can be more easily recognized, and she feels more at ease with her human side than her elf side anyway As she speaks goblin, Kellandra listens and translate. The Inn of the Last Home might have to wait a little. She readies an arrow on her bow with years of practice. She's a tall woman, six feet, and well muscled, with dark long hair currently free, and grey eyes. She usually wears casual, loose clothes, but on the road a light chain shirt covers her upper body, and a long, curved blade rests on her side.
Equipment is done and I switched a trait (Seeker, which helped for Perception, already a class skill as a Bard, for Criminal, whitch gives me access to Disable Device, can be handy if we don't have a Rogue)
I'm here ! Will finish my equipment tomorrow
Background is done. Would you allow, as a weapon, an Elven Curve blade in Krynn? I don't have my books right now, how much money do you get for a 5th level character?
So my character will be valid for selection ?
What if bards (or other spellcasters) couldn't simply use Healing magic until the gods are back? They could use others spells, from whatever source, simply no CLW and higher spells for a while.
