Hey all things are a little busy at work, will try and post tomorrow
Kimberly nods her understanding of everyone's plans and goes to her room, she leave Amanda at the table. She tries to get some rest but the constant thoughts if her dream fill her head. She seems afraid to even try and sleep. Meanwhile, back at the table, Amanda sits quietly staring at right ahead. But after a few minutes she falls from the chair. The only sound is the pitter-patter of tiny feet moving away from the table.
Kimberly almost started to doze off at the table as everyone was talking. But she tries to force herself awake. I'll be alright, I hope, just some.... ahhh... bad dreams She says a but reluctantly. With that Amanda looks toward Kimberly, there actually seems a bit of concern in the doll's face. She seems a bit too out if sorts to contribute much, yet tries to keep her composure
nightmares:
As Kimberly slumbers, visions flood her mind places, faces, all are strange, yet familiar somehow. She surrounded by death, spirits all begging her to join. They call to her as though they know her. The confusion overtakes her, her doll Amanda leaps from her grasp, it too has joined in, trying pull her in. Amanda, what ate you doing? She cries out. It is time Kimberly, time to join us Amanda replies. who are you, why She tries to ask but before she can finish, the faces, the voices all suddenly become familiar, thay are all Kimberly, we are you... Kimberly awakens suddenly at morning break, she tries to put the dream behind her, but those faces, those voices permiate her every thought. Today is not a good day. Com8ng to breakfast Kimberly moves slow, she practically is dragging Amanda by the arm. Her hair is a mess and it looks as though she has just returned from some dungeon exploration. She plops into a chair and drops Amanda on a chair beside her. The doll rotates its head to look at Kimberly, and seems to have a look of concern on its face.
Good for me
After returning for dinner, Kimberly places Amanda on her own chair at the table beside her, she is humming the melody the kids jumping rope were singing. She eats dinner quietly, listening to the others. She seems a bit disappointed she couldn't contribute. I think looking up the splattering should be important, remember the letter in blood on the statue? there are so many books, sometimes finding the information is difficult. Kimberly places a small amount of food in front of Amanda as she talks anyone watching the doll: You thought you saw the doll push the plate aside like she didn't want any food
With the way my rolls are going for the research, I am not finding much
Kimberly ponders Tatyana's remark I don't think so, Splatters doesn't have a V. Besides, the Whispering way wouldn't want to draw attention. But I am sure it means something. Once at the Temple, she sets Amanda on a small chair as she goes to find something to read. This looks interesting. She says as she tries to lean more about the prisonets as well
Kimberly pauses to watch the children, her mind drifts to other days when she first arrived in Ravengro. memory flashback:
Kimberly was a stranger in town, having wandered the streets looking for something, but she didn't know what. She sall other children playing and walked over to say hello. Hello, I am called Kimberly. What are your names. She asked I nocently.
Kimberly wasn't sure herself, she simply pointed South. That way, I think was her response. what kind of weirdo doesn't know where she is from. We don't like wierdo's around here he replied and tried to push ki.berly away, but she ended up falling down. She hit her head on a rock and everything went dark. The next day she awoke in the temple to Pharasma. She heard the priests talking. They were concerned about a boy the appears to have had an accident. Luckily he would survive. He talked of a ghost or something had hurt him, but there was mo sign of such a creature. The official story told was he was injured in his father's tool shed.
Kimberly comes back to the present as Tatyana is talking to the children
During her memory flashback she whispers the words for enhanced diplomacy spell
Hope all had a good holiday for those that celebrate Back to the game bow
Kimberly will stay at kendra's place Probably either in her own room or share a room with Tatyana as she knows her better than the others for now. Not sure on watches since no darkvision, and spell caster but she can take last watch
Kimberly had made her way back to the house with Tatyana there isn't much info about the specific prisoners that I could find but I do know that with the reputation of Harrowstone prison, other places sent some of their more dangerous criminals to be confined there. I fear we may be dealing with those that were not all together upstairs before they passed and now seek their revenge in death.
Kimberly was rather silent during the conversations but is definitely listening. looking to Tatyana, "Yes that would be good. They may know me there but, that does not mean they like me. We shall see As she accompanies Lady Tatyana Stay put, I don't need any trouble, Please she says to her satchel "Ok, I'll let you out more if you behave, OK? <pause> Ok deal." Lady Tatyana, Amanda will be good and not cause problems at the temple. but what I don't understand, why are these necromancer's after the Professor? kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it Once at the Temple Kimberly makes the sign of Pharasma over her heart and mutters a short prayer as her voice seems to become more convincing
Once inside, Hello, I want to thank you all for all that you have done. but I do have favor to ask. May we please make use of your library to look into finding information about some really bad people that may want to bring harm to the loyal followers of the Lady of Graves.
Once access is granted, Kimberly starts to look through various historical texts regarding Harrowstone and the five prisoners She seems very engrossed in her readings, it is rather comical to see such small young girl reading books such as these, some probably as big, if not bigger, than she is. She pulls out Amanda from her satchel and sits her down next to her so the doll can also see the books. She looks to Amanda, please hand me that book over there with the silver binding please. she says to the doll. Then the book she requested floats over to her, Kimberly takes it Thank you Amanda and begins reading some more as though she may be on to something
Sorry was silent yesterday Major rain storms and flooding All is good now and very minimal damage, but looked pretty crazy around the house and good thing I have an SUV. Otherwise my car would have been flooded inside.
At Lectrum: I don't know you, I think this fellow is yours and she hands Sly back to him. Kimberly just smiles at Lectrum's question she looks to her satchel and then pulls out a rather old cloth doll with a faded white dress. I am talking to her. Her name is Amanda, I have always had her as long as I can remember; which is a very long time[/url] Perception DC 15:
As she goes to tuck the doll back into her satchel you could swear you saw the doll wave.
I have not joined the church, I don't see a need. The Lady Pharasma knows me That is sufficient for me. She ponders a bit But if it will put other's as ease, I will join as soon as I am able
Kimberly nods in understanding, May your child's new life be more pleasant that it's last. As the instructions are given. Kimberly listens and offers little to add. She awaits the other's reactions to "read the room." I do implore each of you to do as the Doctor asks. It is the least we can do for all that he has done for each of us. <pause> Yes I can do this she says to her satchel You are going as well so we can do this together she adds to her strange conversation with her Doll. She then looks to everyone. do not worry about me. Think of me as nothing different that one of those of smaller ancestry such as the halfling, or gnome.
Inside of the house. Out from Lecturn's satchel the little yellow green reptile pokes out his head. Flicking his tongue in and out as if smelling like a snake. He then quickly climbs out and down Lecturn's leg. Once he hits the ground he zooms over even faster to Kimberly. Stopping in front of her, he smiles and looks at her. He quickly waves his hand and squeaks out, "Hi!" Kimberly glances down at the lizard, Hello She has a bit of a quizzical look on her face. she then glances at her satchel then back at the Lizard I know it said Hi, <pause> Ok I'll ask, Are you doing this? after a couple of seconds, OK, OK she then looks to the Lizard what is your name? Eventually she realizes that others are speaking. She stoops down to try and pick up the Lizard. she holds the lizard in her hand as she goes walks about the room stopping at each person. at Tatyana: I know you, I've seen you at the church, I think you are nice At Valliard: I don't know you, I guess you are OK, It may be your first child, but you are not the child's first parents At Henric: I don't know you either At Lectrum: I don't know you, I think this fellow is yours and she hands Sly back to him At Breynor: I don't know you, You wear lots of armor, do you think we are in danger here? After seeing each new person, She turns to Kendra They are all good, I see it in their souls She then turns to everyone, I am Kimberly, That is the name assigned to me. The Doctor needed my help not so long ago. Pharasma guided me and anointed me. If The Lady of the Graves so wills it, I will see to it that each of you receive fair judgement at your appointed time. she then goes to take a seat. After a few seconds, they don't need to know everything... <pause> Later, when the time is right.... Shhh I need to hear the others
Hello all, update.... All went well with procedure. Had issues in large intestines. All tests indicate no cancer. Feeling much better
Had an outpatient procedure yesterday. Little slow to respond today
The crowd disperses and Kimberly smiles with satisfaction that violence was not necessary, at least not yet. The procession continues, Kimberly walks beside but slightly behind Kendra, walking in silence. Once the procession reaches the grave site, Kimberly moves aside to allow the Gravediggers to do their work. She relocates herself and stands next to Pervin, glancing at him, she gives a smile then returns her attention to the task at hand. those standing next to or very near Kimberly:
a whispered voice can be heard, a very quiet and distinctly female voice. the exact words can not be fully discerned but Kimberly responds in a whispered voice. No, I don't think I should. What? <more whispers> why? <more whispers> OK, but I'll be very brief
Once Kendra has completed her eulogy and the offer is given for others to speak, Kimberly eventually makes her way forward. she stands before everyone in silence for a few moments she whispers a short prayer and makes the sign of Pharasma with her finger over her heart. She then speaks, The Doctor was a good man, he treated me with kindness when no one else did. He saw to it that I had a home at the church and visited in my times of need. she pauses a bit as she gathers her thoughts then she suddenly whispers Shhh, I know she then continues, I met the Doctor here in this very graveyard I showed him the importance of the traditions, It was here that I learned more about who I was, Thank you Doctor Lorrimor, and than you Lady Kendra for all you have done. <pause> Thank you with her short eulogy done Kimberly returns to her place next to Pervin
Spellcraft DC 15: She cast Enhanced diplomacy before her speech
Kimberly looked rather somber as she joined the others paying their respects. a rather young girl dressed in black her skirt going down to her mid calves. a plain white shirt under a black jacket. her long black hair done in two braids, one on each side. The only real splash of brightness is a simple silver chain about her neck with the silver spiral symbol of Pharasma. she merely looks awkwardly at the request for pallbearers I regret that I am to small for such a task she says calmly. Among the other mourners, Kimberly takes note of all that are present. as she takes everything in, She glances toward Pevrin, a smile comes to her lips. Her stare a Pervin is suddenly interrupted when a familiar voice is heard. she turns to look, Lady Tatyana. As the procession forms and the group moves toward the gravesite, Kimberly motions the symbol of Pharasma over her heart just before passing the threshold of the cemetery. She takes a place beside Kendra. Soon the crowd appears to confront the procession. Kimberly steps back behind Kendra. seeking shelter Shhh. I know they are probably bad. no sense in getting hurt. she whispers toward her small satchel. A small doll can be seen peering from under the Satchel flap. No, I can't do that, please be quiet
From her hiding spot behind Kendra I don't think they want to hurt us, They are just scared. Yelling may make them even more afraid she advises GM: have we decided anything about her doll as far as being a soulbound doll or not
I think it would be interesting to actually role play out their initial meeting.
Hello everyone Kimberly here is there a template for our header that is recommended for this game? Also @Tatyana I am sure Kimberly would have seen here around, but she most likely would have been rather shy and just observed from a distance. If Tatyana approaches her first then she would have responded. To Tatyana Kimberly looks to be a child of no more than 10 to 12 years old. But there is wisdom in her eyes beyond her years.
Kim would but she is afraid of him , the whole demon thing....
Kim simply smiles and nods understanding. Well I have Teddy right here, and he protects me and keeps me safe. he can help keep you safe too, If you want. but, why are you afraid? Kim really looks curious and seems to really want to understand. she does her best to help Dara feel safer, without actually disturbing anything that seems important to him.
Dara struggled to answer, making faces as he tried to find a word he actually knew before he finally settled on, 'Follow'. He led Kim to a deserted corner of the cafeteria, more than half hidden behind a potted plant. Their lunches were brought to them by one of the cafeteria workers. They had tried to make Dara go through the line at first, but the high probabiity of this resulting in flying cutlery had led to the current arrangement where his food was brought to him to avoid any more incidents. Kimberly sits with Dara, she politely accepts the meal, surprised that they knew she was with Dara. I'm sorry if this upsets you, but, why do you eat over here? would you like to eat at a table? or maybe outside at a picnic table? at least while the weather is nice. we can stick together so we can look out for each other.
Kim seems to not mind Dara's method of communication, though sometimes she struggles to understand him, and she asks him to "say" something again. but when she does she tries to be polite about it. So, where do you like to have lunch Dara? You will have to show me since this is my very first day here.
Kim spent the morning trying to get to know Dara a little better, sensing that both of them are a little nervous about the present situation. They remained fairly hidden behind the little fortress of books. when the bell rings for lunch Kim looks to her hopeful new friend. do you wanna have lunch with me? she asks her voice somewhat muffled by the teddy bear covering her embarrassed face.
whoa you got an extra life? is that like a level up?
Kim whispers to Dara, Are you afraid of the demon monsters too? I don't like them. Kim seems to have noticed that Dara shied away with the mention of demons. you never said your name, but if you don't that's ok. This is my teddy. sometimes he talks to me, maybe he will talk to you too.
Kim scooched her seat closer to Dara, behind his book fortress. leaning over to whisper to him, can I hide with you? she asks politely
Kim seems to keep her distance from Jacob. she holds her teddy bear like its a barrier between them. something about him definitely spooks the poor girl.
Ice not much of a need to wait, Kim was not really going to do too much unless the demon actually appeared.
Kim stays standing for a minute but as the situation calms down, the glow stops and she takes a seat, I'm sorry, after wtaching evil demon creatures destroy my home then a plague ravage and kill all my friends. I.... she stops a little saddened at the loss of everything she knew. I'm sorry. she sits down and stays quiet. the glow completely gone.
kim looks on shrinking back against the wall. holding her teddy close to her chest as the revelation of a demon might be inside Jacob. mommy, what should I do? she whispers to her teddy. As she whispers her teddy's eyes glow and Kim's body starts to shimmer and slowly starts to glow with a pure white holy energy. its intensity is low but the more afraid she becomes the brighter it glows.
Kim cautiously took a seat beside Dara. she looked over at him. Hi, I'm Kim. are you hiding from someone?
Jacob nods to each of the students in turn, then bows to Fieri. He now has his scarf on again, although his jacket is still tucked under his arm. "Hello, Missus. My name is Jacob Forgehand." The boy then hangs up his jacket on a coathanger and takes his seat."Welcome, Jacob. I'm Mrs. Sunwake. Which of you would like to introduce yourself next?" Kim steps forward ummm, I'm, ahhh....Kim. I'm from Kuros. she syas shyly. holding her teddy bear tightly fro personal security.
I am ok with hand waving just wanted to bring it to your attention. that jacob was kind of driving the scene and Kim was starting to get lost.
ok the new elementary students we need to retcon or hold until something is resolved. Kim is still waiting on an answer to the request she made. before we finished filling out the forms. so she turned in a paper with lots of doodles and hardly anything filled out. Sorry about this but Kim was NOT ready to move the scene forward and since I was not on line to say this...guess it doesn't really matter.
Kim finishes her forms, most of the stuff is blank with lots of scribbles and cross-outs. there are a few doodles on the sides also. she hands it in but despite the mess all the important information is there (well more or less)
Ahhhh, yes, what is the magic that heals people called? that's what i can do, mama said I was blessed or something since when I sing people get better
Kim sits down with paper and pencil (or pen, or quill, or blood, whatever) she starts to fill out the forms, her face a picture of extreme concentration. working very hard to make everything as neat as possible. Name: Kim Snow
she raises her hand Mrs Del ahhhh del, ummm, she puts her hand down. embarrassed she forgot Pyra's name.
and Jacob, Kim is right next to you and she can sing. not that it helps what you are looking for, but still she is close to your age...
Kim still seems a bit worried, but her teddy is no longer glowing. So i don't need to see a doctor? and Yes i can write. mama made sure I learned as soon as I could. but I'm not a very good speller
