Lady Incendia Anisha Rosala's page

She stops and for a moment rubs her head.

"You are right Master Mageknight, I... sometimes forget that everyone here is a volunteer."

She turns and addresses all there.

"But this fight means a lot to me and I know many of you. I don't need to make clear what is at stake here. Our Enemy wishes a have a pure world, where beings like ua are hunted down and eradicated. They have purged thire city of what they call the unclean. Death camps and ethnic cleansing is thire aim. We of the free city, we hold that all have the same right to be, that all are welcome so long as they live well with others. We fight most of us for a home and place to be alowed to live as we see fit. Whereach we fight with flesh and blood they fight with mindless hybrid machines and abominations. It is my hope that this dream of a place for us all drives you as it dose me. You honor me with you willingness to fight with me, and I respect that and I'm humbled by it."

She smaps a salut to you all, then nods and gos back to her work.

Commander Incendia looks up as Craven comes in.

"Glad you made it Craven"

She says, now there is some respect in her voice.

"I hear it was bad. Hot Coffee and food over there, and new recruits, go say hi and let em know how much fun it is here"

She says with a chuckle then goes back to her reports and maps.

After a while post someone taking notes off her desk, and looks over at the recruits

Then room go's dark and fear groups everyone's soul, just for a fraction of a moment, then it passes. could that be her temper?.

Looks up from her notes and reports, seeing the form in Armor.
She waits for a solute if she gets one she gives it back.
Then looks around then pulls a note from under a pile.

"Mageknigh, right, I'm Commander Incendia, I'm the one in-charge of the Irregulars or as some like to call us the Freak Squad . You will be with Lieutenant Ynja, She and her team will be back soon"

Points at a bunk area.

"Wait over there with the others until she dos."

The commander then gos back to her notes, she did no even ask your name.

Commader Incendiam gets Ynja report and relaxed, That was a close run thing. Now they would have a little time until the counter attack.
She looked over the command post. Her toop was understaffed but HQ was starting to send more bodys to the fight.

She waited to see who they would send next as she made her report to HQ

::"Understood, keep pushing the attack and get that Artillery"::

Then she was gone.

Over her mind link some's Incendira's voice.

::"Whats the situation lieutenant Ynja?"::

As the others come in Incendia nods but keeps on with the briefing.

"Magics, no idea, I would say not. There mages seem to be working on the attack but we have no information ether way. But expect crews manning the weapons. MY hope is IF you can get there fast, they will not have time to muster troops before the damage is done."

She brings over another map.

"Extraction, your best bet after that is attack there lines attacking our troops from thump-per sit. Once our troops are out from under the bombardment they can counter attack and you can meet. Hitting the enemy's advancing line from both sides should have them brake up. You only need a chink and you can get back to our line. However there is another option, go back the way you came over no mans land."

She looks up.

"In your run out, the good news is I happen to have a very good sniper, his task will be to deal with any Snipers they have on your run out. Bad news is, once you made your run, they will know and going back expect a lot more sniper fire so think hard before trying it and a means of Extraction."

She points Ynja

"Lieutenant Ynja here is also a ranged shooter, she will lay down cover fire on your run out. My hope is that with speed and two sets of cover fire, most if not all of you will make it. Then at the Thump-ers I don't care what you do just stop them pounding my troops."

She rolls up her maps, and adds.

"New faces introduce yourself to Ynja your officer. Now you have your orders, get yourselves to the jump up point and get at it. While we are talking men are dying."

She nods then adds

"One more thing, best of luck and my your gods go with you, Dismissed"

Commander Rosala placed the scroll down and called out.

"Someone go get the two meat heads outside and gather round. I have your Deployment Orders."

She waits while they collect around her.

She points at a map.

"This is 21N a section to our north. The enemy are assault it and Elements of the 42nd and 61st are heavily engaged. They are taking strong magic with Multiple Thumpers and artillery supporting advancing troops. Your task my little strike team is to take out the enemy supporting Thumpers and artillery or as many as you can understood. To engage the back line where they are we have three options. One, we punch our way though the front line trench that the enemy has fortified, there are two few of you for that. Two take our trench the full distance and punch through the enemy offensive line to get at the artillery. again they will be facing you and there are to few of you. Three, proceed along our line and then hop over the land separating your trench from the enemy's back line. Your free to move and it will get you on them before they can really get ready. Bad news is you will be in the open while you make you move, the surrounded when you get there. But IF you can make it there that has the best chance of you getting there and having the time to disrupt the thumpers and artillery. So that is the Option you will be taking. So work our how you get yourselves across the no mans land with out getting killed, the how your going to take out the targets and then how your going to get back. Welcome to the war, any questions?."

she looks at them.

looks up from her table, and sighs.

"I'm Lady Incendia, But you call me Commander Rosala. and your in the right for the war Craven"

She says looking at him, meeting his eyes with her own black with in black orbs. This is a wo.. sorry thing that has no problem meeting your look.

Then she looks down at her maps again.

"Lieutenant Ynja is over there with coffee, or there is hot food outside with the 42ed. But be fast, soon as your ready I'm sending you out."

She looks up or that last part,

::"you want war, well I don't like to disappoint."::

She says into your mind, and with it comes dark shadows of places that have never seen the light.

"Your dismissed"

She says as an imp comes into being in front of her, handing over a small scroll case before becoming invariable again. The commander opens it and starts looking over the contents.

Incendia looked up from her maps.

"Arr the brothers, Janry and Orvay"

She looked around for a scrap of paper picked it up and read it.

"Says here you have been in 4 other units, each as transferred you out with in a day. Well that will not be the case here boys, you will be lucky if you survive a day. See this is the place where the war is boys and your staying with me. I'm Commander Rosala, do well and you may live to see tomorrow, mess up..."

For a moment the room grows dark and a chill fills the air, it's as if fear itself is breathing down your two necks. Then its gone, past and she is smiling at you.

"Good to have you here, go get some coffee, introduce yourself to Second Lieutenant Ynja and your fellow troops. But drink fast, soon as a have the numbers I'm sending out, Your dismissed."

She go's back to her maps.

A muscled fiendish looking tiefling in a simple explorer's outfit walks into to the command tent Bunker Its underground. "Officer Rosola."He places his right hand on his heart, then bows."Among my tribe is a legend of this powerful warrior who sowed death and destruction among his enemies, leaving nightmares in his wake. He is known as the Akumu. I have come to take up his mantle. It is our way. When one falls, or abandons the mantle, another will be called to replace him."

"Please call me Akumu. In taking the title, I have relinquished everything of my former life, and my sole purpose is to prove myself worthy of the mantle."

Rosala, Looks up from her map, stands and returns his salute.

"Good to have you here Akumu, your predecessor did well in battle. I hope you prove to be just as good in the fight."

She points over at Ynja

"Second Lieutenant Ynja, you will be fighting alongside her at the front. I know of your tribe, Ynja is a little green. It's her 1st real war, so having and experienced fighter by her side will help. Go say hello and get a coffee, you and the others I hope are coming will be heading out soon as so enjoy it now, it wan't last. Your Dismissed."

Then she went back to her maps and notes.

"Right the blood drinker, I remember, well your in the right place for that Second Lieutenant Ynja, lot of blood round here."

Then she stopped as a runner name in with a list. A list of the hurt and injured. She thought a moment.

::"Sharptalon, I have a new task for you. We beat the big thing with the thudder gun. But we have many hurt men that need to get back to teh medical tents and fast. You are fast, So I want to to fly them back to be helped. Do you understand, The hurt men will be strapped to you back. All you need to is fly them back and come get more understood. This is your key task now."::

She sent then broke contact with him.

"Sorry need deal with the wounded. So they sent you, well the task here is simple, take back was the 42ed last to the Thudder attack. That should be simple but for the fact that was only the start. We have word that the other side will be sending some mean things this was and we happy few have to stop them. Now I can't be at the front and here at the same time. I don't have cloning powers. So you Second Lieutenant Ynja will be my eyes and ears at the front. I will link to you mind and so you can talk to me about what the ^&*££ is going in, while I try and get this part of our defenses something like whole again. For now make a space for yourself over there and wait for your new troops to show up. I have what left of the 42ed manning a barricade down the connecting trench. That should hold or an while but we need to push back out and retake out front-line trench as soon as we can. I want it clear on enemy by night fall, now dismissed."

Another salute and she then picked up a map and started to fix what had changed v the battle line.

It had take ages but at last the thing fell, she ran over to is prone from seeking the thudder, bending over it she reach out, then it sparked then once more she felt like a grate best had kicked her. More ear ringing and daylight. That had kicked her out of the darkness. She got up, more pain, but still going.

She looked around just in time to see Akumu cry out and disappear. Well it had helped when needed so there was that.

::"Weave, I have an urgent task for you. Go back down the lines to HQ, tell them we took a thudder out, how we did it and most of all that they are rigged to blow if you kill the operator. This is vital information, also tell them we have stopped the advance for now but I'm convinced this is where they will try to brake through our lines. There where shock troops with that thudder sent to soffen us up. So make this imperative, tell them to keep sending troops no matter what kind. Go at once weave, this is top priority."::

Then she walks to what was left of the 42ed, now making the new barricade.

"Well done men, stand the line here, reinforcements are coming. We did a good job today. 1st time we took down a Thudder with out big magic so, be proud of yourselves."

She past a couple on the back as she makes her way to what had been designated the new forward command post.

As she walked in she spotted a Black uniform, quickly standing to attention and saluting.

::"Who the £&*"* are you?"::

She sent, as flopping down into a fold out seat. She took out a small cigar lit in and looked up and the junior officer. Then as if rembering she saluted back

Done GM

here - NPC officer

Round 4
Rosala seeing her simulacrum attacked and discounted, double moves into the darkness. Heading in she activates her Psicrystal Crown using it to guild her in the darkness.

Per the map, Akumu is at the chunk of bad guy outside of the darkness. He can attack and move away.

::If I am always creating more darkness, then I am not killing him and I am preventing others from killing him. I suspect that a mix of darkness and attacks would work better.::

He will wait for Akumu to attack before throwing another cloud of darkness behind the Thudder user and flying in closer.

::"Your there Akumu, if you think that will take him down while stopping him do it. Just push that thing back or kill it, so we can move our line and the cart down to make our new barricade. The troops will need that cover for then NEXT attack. Akumu, Sharptalon, Canaana your all on taking that thing out with Akumu, so attack it."::

She go's back to moving the cart and making the new barricade.

Round 3

Rosala stand on the cart looking on at the fight, she stops singing.
As it looks like the Shield wall want last much longer. Another Rosala comes around the cart and the one on it jumps off and joins her.

::"Weave drop another deeper darkness on the Thudder user, drop the darkness at the shield wall once we have them all dealt with. You task s I want that whole back end Darkness. Lets see where it gos from there. Sharptalon stay there while I get the troops to move this Cart forward to make new definitive line. Canaan stay put, I want any more troops that come our way while me move the cart sniped. Akumu I want you the otherside of the dark over the trench we have to take. Scout out what is in theat trench and tell me when the Thudder user come out the darkness. You have task now hope to."::

They walk to the troops dealing with the last of the shield wall fighters, one stops while the other walks on, the one that stops says.

"Finish them off Lads"

once done

"Well done lads"

Then into her troops minds

::"Now go back to the cart, I want it moved forward to make our now barricade line at the end of this lining trench, understood!."

The one that walked past the fight gos along to the new dark area where the thudder was and calls out.

"Come on you big lump of lard, have a go at me again if you dare"

Then to the others.

::"Once the thudder is dealt with I am going to make my command post back in our trench. I was told other troops would be coming soon. Once they are here, we will have to hold this contenting trench and scout and take the old trench it links to. I'm having the troops move the cart all the way along to the end of this trench. Canaan if you can hit from that range good, if not come down and find a new spot here in this trench. I expect a counter attack soon, so before we start taking back that last trench we will have to deal with that, soo save spells and ammunition. weave consider yourself promoted, Corporal, your ranking after I head off to set up the command post and medical point. Try not to get everyone killed, gents, this looks like its going to be one %&£&ing long day."::

I think its ok if down with self limiting, I did not give my monster PC any weapons other then her monster ones. A cold iron Dagger is not really going to do that much. As can be seen also the GM is going to be mean to us. So don't think for a moment them monsters are going to last any longer than a normal PC build. This a battle of attrition so a hard core fighter may last longer than anything given 10 hours of battle.

I think putting a lit on monsters would be a very good idea, There are races and Classes that can do a lot. So there really is no need.

=============

Lady Incendia Anisha Rosala

I will say this I may make Rosala kind of PC/NPC officer after this fight. I get that feeling having the only officer there getting hammered on the front line is not a good idea.

So looking at the map, I would like to place in one of the dug outs back in the second trench.

That why she can hand over the fight to newer PCs when they show up.
While trying to muster the troops and keep control, if some one could make a medic NPC to be there with her, that would be great.

Would you be OK with that GM, that way I can move over to a more normal race and classes.

She stands there looking on as the battle rages, looking at who is doing what. They had stalled the attack, once they had pushed them back they would be back in force. She wished the troops they had said would be coming did or this would be a very short counter offensive.

Its CR, 6 Max but you can take a lesser CR monster, no templates.

Its good to know as it affects your saves and other stuff.

Down side you have to take the monster stats as is.

My PC is a Kyton, Ostiarius CR5 + 1 level of Psion
[Any short fall of levels post CR on the monster side can be made up of levels. [But you can't up the CR of the monster to make up short fall. There is lies trouble and arguments.]

So lets take that.
Base stats
[Str 10, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 19, Wis 18, Cha 19]

So I went with,
Str=10 [+0]
Dex=17 [+3][+2Item]
Con=14 [+2]
Int=19 [+4]
Wis=18 [+4]
Cha=22 [+6][+1Level+2Item]

You still get the +1 to a stat at level 4.

Then saves
You take the best from each side of the Gestalt

My Monster Kyton, Ostiariu has base saves at CR5 of
Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +11

You Dont add in stats from the monster side as that is already added in. Cant add them twice in other words, but you can add in what is gained from the +1 form levels and any items that add to stats etc.

Nice But as the side with the monster gets a level in Psion as well, that adds a +2 form class.

So that makes it.
Fort +7 [+7 Monster +0Class +0Items +0feats +0traits]
Ref +4, [+7 Monster +0Class +0Items +0feats +0traits]
Will +13 [+7 Monster +2Class +0Items +0feats +0traits]

Nice but as I have on the others side of my Gestalt Dread at level 6, that gets a +5 to Ref saves so that save I will go with the non monster side and get, Ref +8 [+5Class+3dex +0Items +0feats +0traits]

Fort +7 [+7 Monster +0Class +0Items +0feats +0traits]
Ref +8 [+5Class+3dex +0Items +0feats +0traits]
Will +13 [+7 Monster +2Class +0Items +0feats +0traits]

and so I have the best saves per side.

This is I think the simplest way to do this.

Round 2?

She could see from her vantage point the Large thunder pull back.

"I THOUGHT SO! RUN YOU BAG OF "%"^"

She Calls to it.

::"Keep hitting that thing, keep it on the back foot, weave you have any other means of attacking it? Ranged best. don't worry about that thing hitting me, I want it to try. Akumu keep flying you will come out the other side of the darkness and swing round behind it. Ill get the troops here going some more see if we can't get this shield wall on the run."::

Then to her troops.

"Their support has gone lads, KILL ALL!"

Intimidate 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

She calls to the troops and starts to sing, her voice is odd like there is more than one, but as her song comes out over the battle ground any close fell there blood rise, pain and anger and the need to show Courage.

really could do with the nice map GM, just to work out ranges etc

Round 1

It has been going so well, the shock troops had broken before her. The troops behind had go into the shield wall and where doing well. Sharptalon was even taking on the bomb thrower. So well, then a brick wall hit her and she was flying back the way she had just come, Crashing over the Cart and landing on her back in the mud.

Pain, lots of pain and a ringing in here ears. She felt like she had been kicked by some great best.

She shuck her head a moment, taking time to get her head strait and the ringing to die down.

::"£%%£^! that hurt"::

Comes a angry thought, then its gone.

::"lets see if that £^^£er can do that again"::

The she is back, seemingly unhurt, and claiming up onto the cart and pointing some kind of long gun like thing at the thudder shooter.

"FIGHT MEN! THEY CAN'T STOP US!"

She bellows to her troops, rallying them.

"COME ON YOU ^%^£&ER TRY THAT AGAIN!!

she shouts at it the thunder user.

Then the large gun like thing she is holding fires, but it clear she must still be a little shaken as the shot seems to go a little wide. Standing there on the cart she starts to reload her odd long weapon.

understood GM

GM we are waiting on inits and round one.

Well really did not expect her to go this way, I was thinking conniving sultry seductress type, staying behind others and ploting.

But Rosala has turned into a hard Ass B*ch. Ordering others around, getting all shouty, sorry Weave and now leading a charge,
wow. Talk about a PC NOT doing what you expected.

I get a feeling she may be a bit of a dominatrix kind of Gal.

So Who's for a good spanking. haha

Sorry about this Weave, I'm Not being mean player to player, its just what she would do, She is Lawful evil after all, what you did had that wift of Chaos like free thinking, hehe :o) tying to keep the tone not to insulting, more telling off. By the way loving this, grate RP stuff, Rosala and Weave, little friction in the group. Some push back, makes for a great dynamic.

------------

Hearing his tone, she know at once the type. She wanted this mental joking around to end and for them to get back to the job. Real funny that one, real funny in the way that gets others killed. Flashed throw her own mind.

@all

::"Shut it Weave, and stop sounding so smug with yourself"

She shot at him before he had fully finished.

"You knew what had to be done, stop the big ^"&(er shooting at us, Unblinded, me, Sharptalon or Canaan are all in range and exposed! all because you thought, next time DO as asked! that is if we survive past your %"&&" up!."::

She sounded miffed at his joking about.

--------------------------

Then she let it go, no point berating him more. What was done was done. She now had other things to deal like killing.

As she ran to the fight the form of Lady Incendia Anisha Rosala shifted, her black uniform was still there but her flesh far less human looking. Blue in hue, her features more striking as she took on her true kyton look. Aark shadows wove around her, forming and reforming horrors, horrors reaching out to the ones still standing in the shield wall. As total Darkness fell on one side and flame on the other she spotted Sharptalon over head and his shriek of challenge as he came down behind the shields. she hopped the troops where behind her and the two in the air could deal with the Thudder users until this lot where delt with. It was all a big risk but it was the best plan she could come up with give time and what she knew. As she came close to the shock troops her anger grow, now it was time for killing. she started to sing her song of darkness.

Rosala shakes her head as she sees Darkness hit the other side of the shield wall.

::"Weave you had one job, blind the big %^£&£ thing with the Thudder, not the shield wall!, now get at it!."::

She made a mental note to explain things in simpler words to weave from this point out, seemed he was on the dumb side.

Seeing the man fall and the Blast, then the brake in the shield wall.
Incendia brings up her power and gives the command.

::"NOW ATTACK!"::

"NOW CHARGE THEM!"

She jumps moves past the cart and Charges at the brake in the shield wall.
Dark evil shadows form around her, things evil things move in them.

I take it this is our surprise round GM, Double move to the shield wall, also are you rolling Init's?

If our scouts do there job that thing will be blind and/or fighting them, so lets go Sharptalon

Gm said if you have a PC ready head over to Discussion.
My be good to get talking and introduce ya PC,

No idea how long this fight will take, so could be a good place to chat and get ready guys.

Ducks out the way as the thudder shots blast holds in the cart.

She looks to the troops with her and Sharptalon.

"Sharptalon when our sniper starts hitting them, do you think you can fly skip over this cart and the shield wall to get into them from behind. IF you can I will lead this lot out past the part and at them."

She looks at the troops.

"Where going to hit them from all sides. Sharptalon here will punch a hold from behind in that wall of shields. I will lead you and we ill hit them from the front. Don't worry about the big %£%£^ with the thudder. I have support in the air that's going to give that thing a shock. Get yourselves ready. I'm going to aid you but it will cost a little blood on your post, but your going to be braver than you have ever felt. trust me. So don't fight it, go with the feeling and you will hit truer and harder. So on my mark we attack."

She then go's back and looks thought a hole waiting to see what Canaana can do to the attackers. She pulls a officer baton out of her pouch. Looking very much like a WW1 officer she waits for the attack to start.

::"Soon as Canaana stalls them we go"::

She projects to the others.

She looks at the men behind the Blockade with her.

"When they make their move to come at us, hold till I give the order to counterattack."

She looks through one of the cracks to see of the Shield wall is advancing.

::"Right have a dozen men manning makeshift barricade down here, our guys are keeping thire heads down. Right I see our bug target wandering behind a shield wall that forms our enemy's front line. There are at least a dozen shock troops between me and it. They have tower shields and light maces by the looks of it, so expect armor. Like like ten or so have formed said shield wall and are looking restless. I think they will be coming our way soon."::

She ducks down.

::"Here is the plan, Canaana, your get to a place, soon as they make thire move wait till they are close then start snipping the hell out that shield wall. I want that advance stalled so me and Griffin can get into the middle of them. They will be nice and bunched up. Soon as we make out move Weave and Akumu, go for the target, blind it, or what ever you need to do. Once we have the shock troops running we all zero in on the target and take it down. I would like the thudder intact if we can. Any questions?"::

come on my brave lads lets see what them PCs are made of.

Lady Rosala starts to make her way thought the tranches to the Front.
Thick with mud as the rain starts to fall. Her find black uniform soon covered in mud splatter. Its shimmers and changes to a drab brown one, with only the insignia on her collar showing she is an officer. Passing the troops hunched down and taking cover as the whizzing and then thudding sound of the Thudder come from ahead. What ever that big beats was it was making a mess of the line. She takes out form her pouch a head gear and puts it on. It looks like military cap with a gem on it.

::"Where the %££&! are the others, I was told this new tactical unit would have more of us. Sorry thinking aloud. Alright, you can all hear me I hope, back there I linked all our minds, this link works over any range. You can talk to each other by it as well. My psycystal will pass on your works."::

She takes out a ciger pups in her mouth as she clams down against a mud wall and takes a peek up ahead at the big thing with its big magic gun.

::""%^" that thing is big, Canaan, you in position yet?, Sharptalon stay close for now, any of the enemy come attack em. So Akumu & Weaver what are we facing here."::

5 pp send to set up a mindlink with Akumu & Weaver and Canaan, with Sharptalon use short range telepathy and have Psicyral talk to him for her. This way now we can all talk to each other v Telepathy over a greater range than 100' Changed her sheet a little to better fit this communication hub roll.

If you have PC's ready and you want in a fight, now is the time.

That is if the GM says ok hehe

As they get ready to set off she helps Canaan up and places him in front of her.

"We will find a spot for you, don't you worry Canaan"

@The group
::"Before we go fully in to the fight I'll need to make for the medical tents and pick up the rest of our group. There should be more of us, so I am taking it they will me joining us there. Weaver and Akumu check out what we are facing. Ill Drop Canaan of at a point he can shoot from. Once we know what we are facing and have the rest of us, we can go from there. Lets move out."::

With that she waits on Sharptalon to take them to the air.

==============
fly there
==============

As the land she lets Canaan down and then dismounts herself.

@Akumu & Weaver
::"Stay in the air and unseen, while I talk to the ground troops how about you scout out what we are facing and see of there is a way to take it down"::

@Sharptalon
::"That big thing has some group support, where going to go kill some of them soon."::

She hears the sergeant out.

"I'm Lady Rosala, Intelligence core, there was meant to be more of us coming. If they do, send them my way. Where going to try and take that thing out now. We and the Griffin here will need your men's support, Your troops need to give us cover fire to stop its supporting troops getting in our way. Keep the their heads down kind of thing. I have troops in the air scouting now. Once they let me know more detail. My hope is we can get this done fast."

She go's to move out, then stops turning back she says in a voice all around can hear.

"Don't worry sergeant, that thing just walked itself into its own personal nightmare. The bad guys are here"

Brevardo aside it always helps to bust troop moral.

She then moves by foot with Canaan and Sharptalon to get close to see what the thing is and scout its supporting group troops.

@Canaan
::"Canaan that thing needs to see to shoot, do you think you can find a good shooting spot and blind it?"::

Everyone happy with that, aim is everyone has something to do. We can pick up the others GM and also have Akumu & Weaver do their thing. With Canaan having time to get into place and shoot. Me and Sharptalon start seeking the group troops and wait on info from Akumu & Weaver.

Lady Incendia Anisha Rosala looks at the others and says to them all.

"Well it looks like poor old me is the ranking officer for now. But where a special tactics unit, I'm not going to pull rank unless you try and do some think really dumb or try running from the fun. Your all compliment so Rank will not be needed here unless the brass shows up understood. If you have a good idea, one that may stop us coming to harm while getting the job done, say it, do it, don't wait for orders."

She offers her hand to Canaan

"Right when your all ready lets forgo the cart and fly to this one."

She nodded back and mounted the fine Griffon, she pats his neck.

Ride, take 10 = 14 to get on.

"Thanks you, your a wonderful Griffon."

She seems a little lighter than expected but other than that she looks like a half-elf with black orb eyes.

She looks over at the others.

she Calls to Canaan in the cart.

"Canaan know you could ride that old cart to the fight, OR you could ride with me and this fine Griffon, the trip would be faster and Im sore he can carry us both, all you need to is ask him nicely."

Her ladyship waits as the army officer talks, as an intelligence officer her job was a simple one in situations like this. Find out as much as she could about what ever they had sent, with out being destroyed, banished or captured

As the griffin comes she smiles gets off her chair and walks over to it. Admiring its long sharp talons and placing her hands on its find plumage.

@Griffon Cavalry

"Your a beautiful boy ant you, I bet you have cut some thing with thous sharp talons of yours. And your plumage is truly breathtaking. Where heading to battle now, so would you mind allowing me to ride there on you. If we land when the wagon stops at the medical tents, I can carry on, on foot from there. But before then I would really like a little fly over what ever we have to fight, give us a heads up on what it is and how we can beat it. How dos that sound Master Griffon"

she says and asks.

Out of curiosity, how is Incendia seeing Akumu?

She is not seeing him, she is feeling his emotions V empathy, she knows his general direction that is all. She would not have the means to pinpoint him for an attack say. As I posted she is looking his general area.

My turn, how dos Shadoweaver know what Incendia is?

"Your evil. Why should I trust you?"

“Evil? Such a small word to sum up my people, our culture, and our millennia-old dogma. I have little belief in the concept. I've seen holy men sacrifice innocents and be called saints. I've seen mothers who stole only to feed their children go to the gallows. I perceive evil to be an artificial construct, a mere description created by frightened clerks so they can determine whether one’s actions fall within or outside their narrow visions for what reality should be. But am I evil? I believe in potential. I believe that some creatures are without significance and not worthy of my hand raised to save them. Conversely, I believe the multiverse blesses some beings with extraordinary traits, with the potential to do—to be—great things. The fact that I exist to seek out such potential and help it flourish means that regardless of what you believe about such small words like ‘good’ and ‘evil,’ inarguably the cosmos has guided me to you, and as I believe in the power of that cosmos, I believe in you.”

She looks in Darkweaver's direction there is no mistaking she is tracking you.

"So Darkweaver, what skills do you bring to our little group, I have a feeling I may know some. As we seem know the same realm well."

She places a mug of wine on the table for him should he want it.

"Seems a skittish chap our halfling"

Akumu gives an eeire laugh. He sips the drink out of politeness. "My thanks, Lady Rosala, but I gain no sustenence from mortal beverages. Mortal fear, however, is another matter. Ambrosia, the nectar of the gods." His voice fills with rapture. "Think it strange do you not? The war...the screams of the dying, their fear...so delicious...yet mortals hate it."

Lady Rosala looks hard at Akumu then a palpuble wave of terror eradicates from her, for a fraction of a moment, shadows form around her as if the space darkens. A vistion of a real of shadows and darkness. In that momentary wave lay the sum of all your fears, every dread you ever had, even you Akumu feel fear for a fraction of a moment and they joy of such a dark plain of endless shadows. Then its gone and the lady is just ths lady once more.

"I think you and I have much in common Akumu. Stick with me and I feel your hunger my find things to feed on"

She tips ash from her small cigar.

"Now that is a handy talent to have Akumu and wecome to the irregulars. Help yourself to a drink thete is plenty. Im lady Rosala and this is Canaan."

she says having not taken her eyes of your general area the whole time.
