"The sooner I get out of here the better. Doesn't matter where, as long as we can leave this smelly place for a while."

Kenna stays close behind, not wanting to show aggression for now.

The petite half-elf who has been silently following the events from a corner of the room, crouched more like a cornered animal, finally gets up and, picking up a bucket she follows.

--------

With the evidence found she speaks up meekly: "This is too easy. With all the stolen things here, I believe this was about discrediting her, not about taking the gold and making her the scapegoat.", Kenna turns to Chalaska "Could this Nalaskur, or someone else, be after your position? Or out to just remove you from it."

Hi, welcome to the party!

Kenna scrutinizes both Chalaska and the guard.

WIS (Insight): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Chalaska
WIS (Insight): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Guard

"That is a good question, how would someone lose buttons off their shirt doing this?"

Why do we always lose our clerics?

Kenna turns back: "Let me see what I can do. Step back, everyone."

She incants a spell aimed at one of the surviving spiders.

That's why i moved in front of him, so next turn i can turn into an animal with a +6 to athletics and a 40 ft speed to grapple him if he's still moving.

Dammit Narnel, why do you keep killing things i'm trying to nonlethally subdue with my spells? :p

"That's the man! I'll get him, you take care of the spiders, careful ot to get bit!", Kenna turns toward the fleeing man and takes off afterhim, incanting a few words, holding a hand out to the man as if to grasp him, as her Wolftooth pendant glows with silver light.

"His clothes looked expensive!" Kenna adds hurriedly as Narnel dashes off.

Kenna comes up next to Chalaska, "There... there was a man who just left a moment ago, he looked like something worried him." she says meagerly.

"And he was holding something. Looked like a note. Perhaps we should try to get him back here."

Kenna has been quiet so far, but her demeanor suggests she is not entirely happy with staying here.

"When are the fewest patrons around? I'd like that shift. Doesn't matter if those few are the most troublesome ones. I can handle that. I... just don't like crowds."

"I've half a mind to maul this man and his friends, but I don't think theyre worth it..." Kenna shuffles through her coin pouch, "About 50 gold pieces?"

I had actually forgotten about the badges until the innkeep brought them up. Yes, Kenna wouldn't parade it around either.

"I..." Kenna begins her eyes scanning the patrons as she continues "I would rather not stay here for long. I know something terrible will happen. Dreams are one thing, Keaton, but surely you know of divination magic. And some receive visions without ever casting a spell, Narnel did, and so did I."

Bargewright Inn, very clever.

I can agree with all of this.

However one thing i might note about initiative (which doesn't apply to this game but might be relevant if you also run pathfinder) is that players who have invested resources into a high initiative modifier might feel cheated. Yes, their init bonus affects the entire party, but the return is diminished. In a 4 player party, one character having improved initiative means everyone effectively gets +1. Which means the feat only makes a difference one quarter as often as it would normally do.

So perhaps the bonus from such a feat should apply differently. Maybe instead of adding +4 to the player's individual roll, add +2 or +3 to the party average, so the investment is still worth it for the player.

Not currently running any PF PbP but I do run a home game of it. However, what I would do is give a player with Improved Initiative advantage on his roll. So that effectively gives him another +5 which should average out to a +2.25 to each party member in a group of 4.

Seems fair enough. I just wanted to make sure you're aware of this.

Kenna reverts to her half-elven form and replies: "My magic is unspent."

She approaches Narnel and invokes the pale light she had cast before "Silver light, mend his wounds.", then hurries over to Ember and Molok, and repeats the same for the genasi woman.

Finally she looks up at the stone man: "How are you holding up, big guy?

Kenna begins dragging the man toward the flaming tent and pushes him into the fire.

Kenna raises her clawed limbs reaching for the bandit and attempts to pin him down to give Narnel an easier target.

Kenna lunges at the bandit again.

Kenna circles around her chosen prey and continues her attack.

Kenna bites at the guard in front of her.

Kenna breaks out of the woodwork and pounces onto the the man in her sight claws first.

Position DE / 23 24

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Kenna nods toward Keaton, transforms once more into a beast form, very similar to the pack werewolf, but even more vicious, and begins to prowl into position.

Kenna shifts around the creature and snaps her fanged jaws at it.

Seeing the monstrous insectile creature, Kenna tries to remember if she had ever seen or heard of such a creature.

She starts running forward as her body begins to change, limbs extending, coarse fur growing as she assumes her lycanthropic shape, this one similar in size but slimmer, more agile looking than her previous form, and continues to race toward the creature, slamming into it with sharp claws.

"I agree, it's safer and I can pick up their trail, should we lose them."

Also in favor of going after the water cult.

"Land pirates. I've never even heard of those before. I agree, we shouldn't allow this to happen."

"Perhaps we should hide and see if they pass."

"Is there a connection between these elemental cults and Mirabar? Judging by the fact that they all show only either wounds from arrows or some blunt impact, and that they all have been buried together, whatever they were fighting, they were fighting as allies", Kenna muses, mostly to herself but loud enough for the others to hear it. She then turns directly to the group: "We should see if we can find tracks."

Kenna helps with uncovering the remaining bodies.

"I could use my abilities to help us dig proper graves faster." she offers to Ember.

Kenna will walk in front of the Shepherd and take second watch.

"We can see the graves on either way I suppose, though so far we haven't had too much success taking care of two destinations on one excursion.", Kenna sounds subtly annoyed at this observation.

"I will go wherever all of you think is best for us to head to."

Thank you. I'm back, everyone!

This is coming as a surprise to me as much as it will to you, but I will be hospitalized with little to no internet from tomorrow April 22nd for an amount of time not yet determined. Hopefully only for the weekend but possibly longer. The operation isn't a big thing but I'll have to stay there anyway.

GMPC me as needed.

I thought about a faction. And unless we don't have the option to join one later, I think I'll pass for now. Kenna is not really the type to affiliate with an organization although she shares some interest with the emerald conclave.

I have no use for a +1 dagger. So it's fine with me. Unless the dagger has anything more than the +1 bonus.

I think I can, but I am mot sure how.

We had a little in-character tutorial earlier Narnel and Kenna can both make potions.

I'm on tangledweb. Playing in your Mummy's Mask 5e there, so I know the forum. I wouldn't mind switching over there as a result.

gained 7 hitpoints (5+2 Con); 1 1st level spell slot and 2 2nd level spell slots. One more spell per day prepared. That appears to be everything for me at this level.

"Wherever he went I doubt we will catch up to him. And even if we do, what if he has reinforcements? Perhaps we should rest. Narnel needs to recover, Ember and I are both out of magic and are wounded."

"I feel responsible for this, I pulled you all into another battle when you were trying to rest..." Kenna says, regret in her tone.

She walks back to the old man pointing at the now collapsed tunnel she asks "Where does that lead?"
