Okay, I'll play. :) I just barely looked it up though, so might need time to get up to speed... just start up a new character in the discussion tab over there? I also might be slow on the responses for this next week. Was on vacation this week, which continues to next week. Doesn't mean vacation from my games, just work, but also therefore not sitting in front of a computer all day, so I don't see things as quickly.
Sure, if you need someone... now that I am used to the format it could be fun, and happy to play with all of you again... but also not important if you have lots of applicants. I have plenty of games, so don't need to make up for this one being lost. :)
Sad to hear, but real life takes precedence. Take care of yourself, and thank you.
Krizta smiles, glad that she won't have to sit in here all night. Thanks Adelaida. I am fine for now. Two hours then.
When Bruno comes upstairs, Krizta plants herself *inside* the room to guard him rather than outside. Since her companions already made their interest in the whole situation obvious, there was no need to hide farther away. No point in guarding you if you are just going to up and leave again. This time I'll be sure. She makes sure the window is latched securely, then gets a chair and plants herself in the corner of the room, not watching him unless he goes to leave, but watching the exits.
Seriously? Krizta walks down the hall to Bruno's room and opens the door (unless it is locked). If the guards object, she says Someone just saw him downstairs. Did he go out the window?
Krizta hears some disturbance downstairs and wonders what is up, but keeps her eyes steadily on the hallway and Bruno's door, ready to intervene if anything makes it up the stairs towards their charge.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I'll pay for the replacement and carry it up myself so that the server doesn't have to do it. I was just joking around, and it is completely my fault. Please, allow me to help make things right.
Just normal stew. Well, at least she had checked. She was sure there would be many more opportunities to embarrass herself before the night was out, but if a rich man was intent on flouting Sigmar's will, then her own ego meant nothing. She must do whatever it took.
Krizta accepts the offer of the double room where she can keep watch, glad she has enough money to cover this necessary expense. At the mention of a meal specifically for Bruno, she goes on guard though, and when the woman passes her with a tray for him, Krizta reaches out and tweaks the cloth cover off a little, to make sure it is harmless. What kind of food are you saving for the important people, eh? Perhaps we can get some of the same? If it is just food and seems untainted/harmless, and the person in the livery seems legit, she follows the person up to see which room belongs to Bruno. They really needed someone in there with him. Maybe they could get Valghaz in there to talk to him when one of the guards takes a break? (If there is any question about the food at all though, she "accidentally" knocks the tray to the floor, then profusely apologizes for her clumsiness and offers to pay for a replacement and personally deliver it.)

Krista says Seedling, the Thorncobbles are fairly famous aren't they? I'm surprised that you are traveling without an escort. She also smiles at the story, but remembers to keep her eye on the person they are supposed to be protecting. Well, hopefully the game and the god can be popular and not compete with each other. Like -7 or something? Wow, I'm really bad at this, sorry. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it on the next hand. +2 (?) Krizta smiles...
(made it under my number, but no advantage) ===> At 9:25, Krizta might quit the game, if no one else follows Bruno. She can't keep an eye on him down here anymore, and is worried about someone getting to him up there, so she would look at everyone else to see what they are doing, and then (unless she is confident that his safety is covered or it seems to be okay to just watch down here) either go outside to watch the window, or go upstairs to find a place to watch the door... she'll ask how much a room upstairs costs, if needed as a place from which to watch the door (if it would be weird for her to just hang out up there... not sure what kind of place it is). --If she does quit, she thanks Seedling for the lesson, and says it was fun, but she is going to make it an early night. --If she is still in the card game:
Krizta takes a seat at the halfling's table where she can also see Bruno , and says I don't know how to play Scarlet Empress, but I'm willing to learn if you'll teach me.
Krizta asks her companions quietly Which one is Bruno? That's the person we're supposed to protect, right?
Krizta was surprised when Yvonne handed her 5 crowns. Money! They hadn't given her any of the reward from rescuing Elvyra, even though she had gotten that request from the temple herself, and she had just come to expect that she wouldn't be part of it all, which is one of the reasons she had just taken her share of the silver rings when she came across them, but now, maybe, they were treating her like she was part of the group, earning a share. Not as big a share as rich-guy Landolf, she was certain... but still, this was more than she had ever had in her life at any one time. She'd been wondering if they were going to kick her out for opening her big mouth, but maybe not... maybe they really were trying to make her a part of the group. She could buy a bow now! Although, she really wasn't that good at bows. She just wanted to be. Maybe some good manacles? New clothes, like ... brand new rather than the ones she had taken from the dead and mended? A bandolier? She'd never had one, but they sure looked cool, and might come in handy. So many possibilities. She grinned. She wouldn't spend it yet. She had to come up with the perfect things, but it would be fun to think about. For now, a job to do... and one that she would put some extra effort into. Maybe all of this would work out after all. ... If Sigmar willed it, of course.
XP spend
+2 to Agility to bring me to 30 (50 xp) +5 to Perception (50 xp) Added Talent: Suave (100 xp) 3xp left over.
Krizta doesn't interrupt Adelaida (or anyone), but when she has a chance she says Thank you, sir, for answering my questions. I am committed to help as you request, and will endeavor to protect the contest so as to leave it in Sigmar's hands rather than another's.
Cool with me.
At dinner, when they are asked to prevent interference Krizta asks How does this trial by combat work as a replacement for a normal trial? Is it assumed that the gods will interfere on the behalf of the innocent party and allow the other to be killed? If the champion loses, does the accused... or the accuser... also lose his life? I'd like to understand it more before I commit. If we're leaving it in the hands of the gods, then I'm okay with that, but it seems hard to say what the Gods have in mind, or whether they are working through someone else, if we don't actually know who is in the right.
Seems to me that a soldier like that has to shoot who he's told to shoot, whether or not he agrees with it. And maybe life is just that way, but you know what, nevermind. I actually think I can make do with the Goblin bow I picked up. Thanks anyway. ... I'm not part of the Black Thorns. I'm trying to help you, and make it worth your while and earn my keep, but we're doing the things that you need to do, and following your path. If I were a real member, then you would have taken me seriously about the Skaven and would have listened to me about tracking down Elvyra's kidnapper rather than leaving him to strike again. I truly appreciate the opportunity to travel with you, but I'm not your soldier. Krizta walks away, more determined than ever to make it on her own and stop begging for things. She just wasn't sure how. She would have to go back to being a flagellant if she left now, so she needed to stay... if they let her after that. She *also* needed to learn to keep her mouth shut.
Krizta is tired after climbing up all those steps, and is glad to learn that they are getting a free dinner. She goes to look for a bow, finds one, and notes how much it costs, then goes to Landolf and asks for that much. If he gives it to her, she goes back to buy it. It feels horrible to her to have to beg for things like this, still, but she realizes that she is being prideful and that she needs to understand that her life hasn't actually changed that much. At least she isn't putting her parents in danger.
When Krizta wakes up, she goes to find the others. I had a dream about a ruined castle and a broken tower, and then Altdorf, but something was very wrong there. There was also a clock, so I think the omen is that something bad is going to happen, and we need to hurry.
Krizta nods at Adelaia's suggestion, brushing herself off and getting ready to go in.
When Landolf dumps everything out on the floor, Krizta starts gathering it up. While she is gathering the silver rings, she picks out two that she likes and that fit her, and puts them on.
Krizta gathers up the stuff, except the shield. It looks too strange, and she has recently become afraid of strange things.
Krizta moves up beside Landolf, and lashes out at the shared target.
She fails to land a hit against the unexpectedly slippery tiara-wearing goblin, however.
Wow, that is a lot of books.
Krizta rubs her shoulder and shrugs.
Krizta is frustrated by the delay, and the evil going on here, and hurls herself at the door, hoping to break the hand, finger, or foot of whoever was holding it closed, based on how they were holding it.
It was painful, but if there was one thing that Krizta was good at, it was enduring pain.
Krizta follows Valghaz with her flail ready, thankful that they are going away from the creepy living stuffed animal thing.
Krizta registers everything people are saying, but still can't "bear" to go in the room with that stuffed animal that seems alive. It seems the embodiment of all of her childhood fears. She tries to act casual and determined though.
Krizta starts to go into the room to help search, but when the stuffed bear's eyes move she backs up again, thinking that is just too creepy.
Krizta nods, and then goes up the stairs as quietly as possible, flail ready, expecting that they are all going together.
Krizta thanks Dumpling for the delicious cookie, somehow feeling a little less cynical and more hopeful after eating it.
Then she gets ready to go back into battle, keeping her flail out.
Krizta gets down on her hands and knees to look under the bed, suspecting a halfling is here. Not seeing any signs of goblins in here though, she isn't sure if it is a goblin sympathizer or not.
May Sigmar grant them a better life on the other side of mortality.
Yeah, selling it would probably net us a large sum. Good idea. Guess we'd better go find Gurda and Hans. She straps the axe to her side and goes to find their lost companions.
Krizta shrugs and picks up the axe to see if it speaks to her of despair like that staff did before. She was already tainted, and doomed to fail her God anyway, so better to test it herself rather than infect others.
Krizta walks over to take a look at the axe to see if it is safe.
Krizta has healing experience cleaning and binding her own wounds, and those of other flagellants, so when she sees that Valghaz is in a bad way, she takes some of her old (clean) clothing, rips it into strips, and goes over to see if she can help Valghaz.
Krizta continues to lay into the goblins with her flail. .
Krizta dodges the blood splatter from the goblin that was thrown at them and runs directly into the fray, attacking the goblin that is engaged with the children .
Krizta runs towards the sounds of combat, her flail ready.
Krizta motions for the kids to be quiet, then unties them and escorts them to the entrance so they can get out safely (telling the party she will be back shortly).
My agility is 28, so yep, so far I think Landolf is the winner.
Krizta keeps her eyes open for anything useful, and decides to switch to her flail, not trusting that something wouldn't pop out and force her into melee at any time.
