Khalid raises an eyebrow to the gawking crowd. "An even fight was the idea, yes?"

Khalid glances over to Carella. "Silver? A bet of silver will get you nowhere. The COLD IRON of a blade is all that will get you far with this crowd."
"I don't know why the powers have caused our paths to cross again Doctor, but I'm glad they have."
"Ladies, it seems that it would be in our best interest to let this scrap play out on its own. If we interfere, I think that we will have much more trouble."
Khalid moves along with the Doctor willingly. As they reach the hall: "What is going on here Arcturus? It looks like my friends are about to step into a heap of trouble."
The vistani shrugs to the Doctor. "I don't know. They were taken away by those damnable mists. I have no idea where they ended up.
BTW, welcome aboard Brother Lazlo and Louis Morrow!!!
Ya know, I've been playing/ running 5e since it came out and I've yet to see anyone multiclass.
Khalid steps over to Netzer and speaks under his breath. "I just noticed a former ally across the room. To say that he is of questionable character though, would be an astronomical understatement. I am going to approach him to see if things can remain amicable. If things turn sour.. use silver or enchanted blades if you get my meaning." Khalid walks casually across the room and to Arturus. "And what would bring an esteemed Doctor to a place like this?
Hey, sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I'm catching up now!
"Where are these damnable mists lifting everyone off too? I hope wherever there were taken, they aren't left to deal with that beast on their own." Khalid looks around. "Is everyone here okay?"
Awesome. Glad we could see this thing through!
Hey Storyteller, I'm sorry to hear about all of the negative things happening in your life in the past few years. It sounds like you've used these experiences to gain some focus with your life though and i hope that nets a positive for you. Whatever you decide happens with our jaunt through Ravenloft, you have my support and my thanks for having picked this game up in the first place. Good luck!
"Away from him, beast!" Khalid keeps his position and fires off Magic Missile.
Khalid draws the bullseye lantern from his robe and follows behind Marco, shining the spotlight ahead.
With a perception of 1, Khalid has no shot at making that check, lol. The wizard nods to Marco as he goes. "Careful out there my friend. Let us know if you want some light."
Khalid stays back from the group, also looking out for trouble.
The vistani shakes his head. "I do not. To be honest, I've tailored my spell list to mostly involve blowing up my enemies or avoiding being blown up by my enemies. Black Chapel was a rather dangerous place."
Khalid raises his own cup with Elaris. "Here here. Though if I'm being honest, I'm not sure how much of our damsel's story I buy into. We'll see though. If nothing else, I'd love to see what this crown of soldiers is about."
Khalid nods at Marco's words. "I don't think we are going to find the way hope by any conventional methods anyway. This place only seems to let you go when it is ready." The wizard plops down on a bed. "In the meantime, let's enjoy some wine and food, then explore our surrounds a bit in the morning. Sound good to everyone?"
Here as well. Sorry Khalid has been quiet for a bit.
"Stay your hand you fiend!" Khalid unleashes a Ray of Frost at the man wielding the whip.
Khalid does a quick bow to his new companions. "I would say that it is nothing, but it was just about all that I had left. The beast... some sort of shape shifter it seems, is put down, let us leave this place."
Round 2 Seeing his companions flee, Khalid breaks out the big guns. Dex save 15 for half.
Khalid nods, taking some comfort in Bannocks words. "Listen to the priest." The Vistani says to the newcomers. "We've faced this type of creature before and lived."
Khalid takes up the rear, wondering what sort of creature they've willingly pitted themselves against this time.
The vistani nods to Lucifer. "Well my spell selection is a bit limited. It's been a rather long day. I'll see what I can do though."
"Right." Khalid nods. "We are here to help, but require more information. What exactly is going on?"
Khalid sighs. "The bed that I was imagining was so soft. We're never getting there, are we?" He shrugs, gulps the last of his wine and follows the others.
Yeah, the boards have definitely been rough. Sounds like they've got a big upgrade coming at some point, so hopefully that'll fix most of the problems.
"Right. I think that once we are finished with our meal, we should get some rest. Tomorrow, we can set out and explore a bit. Maybe we can get some clues as to what happened to Derrick. Maybe he didn't step into the mists like the rest of us and met the same fate as Wyatt, but he also may have just entered this realm in a separate location. Either way, we owe it to him to look." The Vistani shrugs and sips his wine before continuing. "Who know, we may even find a way back while we are at it."
Welcome aboard Carella and Elaris!
"Our group was pilfered from our land and deposited here by the mists. Though I suppose you could say that we volunteered more so than pilfered" He admits. "We were in a bit of a pickle when we left."
The wizard nods. "We are. We come from a place caled Blackchapel. It is very different from this place. I hadn't seen a tree in years before we arrived here.." Khalid drinks the wine and scarfs down his bread.
Congratulations Bannock!!! Man, third kid? I'm still trying to figure out how to raise one.
Hey all, I had a family member pass away over this past weekend, so my next few days will be full of family and funeral stuff. This coming weekend is also commencement at the university I work for, which generally takes up a chunk of my time. My posting will be a bit spotty this week as a result. I’ll still check in and post as I can though!
The wizard raises an eyebrow, obviously a bit puzzled by the mans odd demeanor. The vistani stands and bows anyway. "Well met Luc. I am Khalid de la Poer. It is nice to finally meet a friendly person in this place. Are you from this area?"
Khalid runs his hand over the polished bar before taking his seat at the table. "Fine craftsmanship. You can tell we aren't in Black Chapel anymore because this isn't all caked in grim. The vistani adjust his robes and sits at the table. "A red wine and whatever your lunch special is madam. We will also require use of lodgings if they are available."
Thanks! Also, hello, all. DP and I discussed this as we were making the switch in locales and moving to a new adventure, and we agreed that I could make a new character. I'd been struggling with how to play Derrick as a character for quite some time, and I didn't love him mechanically either. I like the prospects of my new character quite a lot, and I'm hoping you'll find him interesting as well. Glad you got a character that you like! Just curious, where did you get the Monster Hunter archetype? Looks cool.
Khalid takes a breath of the fresh air. "Indeed. And it seems to have a proper inn. What more can a band of displaced heroes ask for?" Khalid is no stranger to sideways glances due to his heritage and the general attitude of Black Chapel. He'll head toward the Bard's Retreat, paying no mind to the collection of frowns.
"Well it seems that none of us are going to get answers from each other. Let's start exploring our surrounds, shall we?" Khalid will follow the ranger out of the alley "Hopefully this place has a proper inn. I could use a bottle of wine or two after the past days events.
"We seem to have lost another friend folks. Did anyone see if Derrick followed us into the mist?"
"Ah, we are all strangers to this place then. I would normally be skeptical of such a thing, but I've seen such strangeness these past few days.." Khalid leaves the rest unspoken. "Well, let's get the lay of the land here then. It's been a very long day and i could certainly use a rest."
I PM'ed Bannock to chime on in for the new thread. Derrick is, well... you'll see :-) Well, that sounds ominous.
Once you unwrap it you'll forget all about the beer... ;-) I just imagined a Pulp Fiction/ suitcase/ golden light scenario here.
Here is the most recent version of the ranger, I think.
Khalid brushes some of the sewer muck off his robes, then gives a slight bow. "Ahem. Khalid de la Poer." before give a confused look around. "Where might this place be exactly?"
As far as the Bracers of Archery, let's just hang on to those. Who knows, a ranger may end up joining our party soon.. ;-) That just leaves the potions, which aren't really a big deal. I will put them on my sheet unless someone speaks up.
Definitely in it for the long haul! Eager to see what's next for us.
