Well, I'm the new guy here. I don't have the same implication as you folks have with the game. If you want to keep going, I'll go with you; if you don't, that's fine for me.

Congratulations (and condolences xD).
While they wait for Bane, Lanyssa helps J12 recover from the most dangerous wounds.
Lanyssa advances, trying to put an end to this combat. She passes beside the first robot, risking a reprieve , and carefully strikes both enemies with her sword.
Lanyssa quickly tries to make contact with the remaining assailants, running around the wall. As she realises she's not going to do it on time before they get to shoot again, she positions herself just before 17, so as to offer a direct target.
Resisting the assault with grinding teeth, Lanyssa prepares to fight back. She descends her sword upon the metal creature once and again, trying to overwhelm it.
Lanyssa tries to pursue the enemies that just retreated, her mind set on not letting them escape. Thanks to the graceful effects of Seventeen's spell, doing it becomes even easier.
She holds her sword right and fiercely and discharges a blow.
Lanyssa decides it's time to help J12, even if it's by offering a different target to the enemies. She walks outside carefully, searching for a foe, and strikes hard with her sword.
Maybe (and I'm stressing maybe) with the tech at hand you could add some pulls or any other mechanism to turn your bow into a composite one. You only need it to be composite (+0), then add the Adaptive quality (which doesn't eat any +1) for 1000 gp and you're done. Welcome to the world of having nightmares with Dispel Magic xD
Note: I didn't say a special quality on a weapon added its equivalent bonus to hit and damage; I just thought it was a +4 bow and the bonuses were straight enhancement bonuses, not special qualities. The rule, as to how I understand it, states that if you use the bonuses to purchase special qualities then you don't get to add them as enhancement. Example: You could have a +1 Endless Ammunition Longbow, which would add +1 to hit and damage and have the Endless Ammunition Special Quality, and would be priced as a +3 Longbow in total. One other thing the magic item rules state is that the weapon needs to have a straight +1 enhancement bonus minimum before starting converting further bonuses into special qualities, by the way.
After witnessing the strange weapons the commandos are carrying and using, Lanyssa chooses to invoke a protection for her friends while she gets near the entrance door.
The half-orc woman steps aside to gain better angle, then prays for a godly blessing. "Help me, Lady!" Her sword, firmly gripped with both her hands, descends repeatedly upon the strange assailant robot.
Noticing an attack, Lanyssa quickly tries to protect the member of the team most vulnerable, which is the one that isn't aware of tyhe ambush.
Lanyssa follows Seventeen's instructions, being a foreigner to the place. Her eyes open wide in surprise at some of the speech, though. "Father?"
Lanyssa has no way to turn invisible, but she tries to play the card of not being known around here. She directs herself to the nearest entrance, trying to look like a Jane Doe adventurer looking out for shelter.
Llanta usa clearly not the stealthiest around, but she wouldn't let Seventeen go there alone. She offers to go with her, though inside she's hoping someone else does who won't put the scouting in jeopardy.
Err. If you take an item from a +2 to a +4 you pay the difference in cost....So if its a +1 Bow, and you add Endless Ammo it becomes a +3 bow, you pay the difference in cost between a +1 bow and a +3 bow. Aw, my pleasure in a well... :(
If I add a +2 property to a +2 weapon, does it cost me 8k gold? That's a nice variation to have into account, there are some magic properties I had in mind for the future :)
"That seems quite easier said than done" Lanyssa responds. "Any viable plan to turn our wishes into a real thing?"
Lanyssa constantly searches the attendants, looking for a specific face, though it seems clear Jolanda is not here. The initial hype of being back alive is followed by some sadness, a light melancholy. Things go too fast to have the luxury of feeling blue, though. A meeting with Lady Altouna and her staff updates Lanyssa and the rest on the situation, and it doesn't look good. And the Technic League seems to be only one of their problems. "So, is Casandalee working on a strategy to follow?"
"Uhm." Lanyssa provides a description of the being they "felt" when J-12 and she entered the cave for the first time. "If this is the agent you look for, it fled, or so it said. It stated it lost interest, then killed the green dragon it was parasitising, yeah, astonishing as it might sound, and was gone." She shows through her stance that she's ready to go with the heroes, whatever they want to do next. That's what she's been ordered and paid for, after all.
Shrugging, Lanyssa answers. "I'm not much into politics, but it seems war with the Black Sovereign is imminent." Having the Kasatha with the big gun controlled through the corner of her eyes, she goes on. "Lady Altouna wishes to speak with you, but I can't tell what about. I guess war preparations. We were to escort you safely to palace, once you're done."
If the creature they've spoken before with was not lying, this one here must be guarding the heroes, so attacking can be unproductive... Lanyssa can't communicate in its language, sadly, but she tries international communication - that is, shouting and repeating the same once and again. "WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE HEROES OF TORCH! GUAIRE, JARRICK, SEVENTEEN! YOU KNOW THEM? I'M A FRIEND!"
"This thing was... possessing a green dragon?" Lanyssa starts to realise the stakes being played, and wonders if she'll live up to the expectations. She kicks the dragon's body to be sure it doesn't move, then keeps on walking, hiding the jitters and going the Heroes are not to far away. "Let's move fast, I... don't like this place."
"I agree on the mental intrusion thing" Lanyssa answers, hoping the entity is also aware of it. "However, we should capitalise on the chance of finding our targets and save the day without further fighting, in my opinion." Lanyssa finds herself a bit worried that she's rejecting a good fight, though. Is she getting old?
A lot of thoughts suddenly struggle to come out inside Lanyssa's mind. Parlay? Who are you? Are the Heroes still alive? Is this a trap? She tries to hide them from the presence, but she doesn't know how. Focusing for an instant, and with big effort, she manages to "cast" an answer. "Okay, let's bargain. Where to now?"
The orc woman looks puzzled and surprised at the sudden apparition. "What the hell was that?" The fact that the thing flees makes her think that, maybe, they are finally close to their goal. The Heroes of Torch should be near, either alive or dead, and it's their job to take them back to Hajoth Hakados in whichever state they are. The Kellid that goes with her seems to have reached the same conclusion. Lanyssa nods and, for a brief moment, lets her mind fly through memories of all what she's been through to end up here, together with a reserved but effective guy who can contest her on who's carrying more metal. She quickly dismisses the mental images of her past life, and grabs her sword tighter while they both venture even deeper inside the cave complex.
I swear I had a text posted, like 3 or 4 days ago. Sorry, I should have noticed the post didn't get through. I don't know what happened, and I don't have a back up, so I'll have to make up something else, which I'll do as soon as I get home. Sorry again.
Superb!
Hello! Someone important told me to come over here. Pleased to meet you all! :)
Hello, this is Jereru's submission. Everything should be in the alias. If there's something missing or wrong, please let me know.
I'm sorry but yeah, the game was becoming a bit touchy. I hope "touchy" is not a very offensive word, sorry but I'm not a native speaker. The state of the game made it a bit uncomfortable to me. I, personally, have had only bad experiences with GM changes, so I will bow out. I hope you can forgive me.
When everyone is mounted, Lanyssa palms the back of the horses and waves her hand. "See you in the village!" She then proceeds to track her way back in a discreet way.
"I agree with you. I suspect these bandits won't be a problem for the village in the future." While sheathing her weapon, she adds: "The ones who hired them, on the other hand..." Then she looks at the twins and the new lady. "I'm quite interested in having a talk with you three when we have the time."
"I can make it on my own. If anyone comes with me, and we're about to go, we should be walking now. Meet you all there?" Lanyssa still has a mental note about taking to the northerners on what's really going on.
"I have to say, I never liked them, and I also noticed they were hiding something."
"That said, if you want to rush in, I'm ok. If you want to come back later, I'm ok. If you want to ask for shelter, I'm no-no." She looks at everyone, but specifically at Frjya. "We should decide quickly - if we want to go, there are not many hours of light left."
"Well, if it's his rodent, just let him take it with him" Lanyssa states. "He might want to do some funeral rites or whatever." Wanting to adress important matters, she goes on. "Anyway, we'd like to go, I guess. So if yu're so kind as to turn away the dead rat, we'll just leave you to your chores and importunate you no more." Lanyssa puts her body weight on her falchion, in a relaxed manner, as if waiting. "I think the twins are in some kind of a hurry."
Lanyssa is waiting up to the moment when she senses there's any kind of a fight. Leaving the rest behind (or going with them) she directs her steps towards the mayhem, worried and curious about this ally of Satu they haven't been warned about.
Coinciding with these last words, Lanyssa is divided between just grabbing the woman they're here after or going to the other room and see what's happening there. She looks at Frjya and shrugs, trying to obtain an answer.
Lanyssa breaks her silence to interrupt the tale just a second. "What kind of winter creatures?"
Lanyssa stands at the ready in case a brawl sprouts.
This could have been said by my gf on any day :P
