Leontiana stares appraisingly at the minstrel. "You have ample reason to lie." she replies. "The knight moves against Cheliax. We shall check and see if your words are true. I hope for your sake that they are." She looks to the others to see if they have nay further questions.
"Where is this hill?" Leontiana questions. "Which direction did she go when she left?
As the barkeep is led away, Leontiana strides over to the minstrel. "Well, Mister Kels," she addresses him. "The word is that you have met this so-called Angel Knight. I am sure that it is very beneficial for the veracity of your work that you have some first hand information. We, are more interested in the parts that are not in your songs. I am sure that you wouldn't like to end up like the good proprietor here, so could you please tell us about your meetings with them."
"We're not afraid to get out hands dirty." Leontiana adds, then adjusts her sash as she notices it has become a bit crumpled.
Leontiana enters the room, spear in hand, and looks sternly around the room, ready to quell any resistance.
"It does seem we have our work cut out for us, although it sounds like you've made a good start. Caggan sounds like a troubelmaker though, so the sooner we make an example of him the better." If there's no objections, Leontiana moves to head into the tavern.
Leontiana accepts the clarification of ranking without question, and allows Cimri to lead the way to the inn.
Leontiana bows and leaves. "Let's head to the inn." she says, as they step outside into the open air.
"If we confront him together, I doubt he will cause a problem. But if he tries to run, or fails to answer our questions, we can simply increase his punishment." Leontiana says simply.
Leontiana fastens the sash to her armor and smooths it out neatly. "Pillorying him will be an apt punishment for now - if he fails to learn from his actions, we should certainly provide harsher punishments. For now we may also need him to locate the minstrel."
Leontiana waits patiently for Razelago to continue. Presumably some sort of devil, but as long as the money is good she doesn't really care about the specifics.
:( Leontiana grits her teeth as she touches the crystal, but quickly regains her composure and repeats the oath.
Leontiana ponders over the title "Angel Knight", although most of her religious training had focused on the hierarchy of devils. Still, angels often worked to prevent people from making use of their own possessions, so whoever this Angel Knight was, they were clearly going to cause trouble.
I'm going to be away this coming week, and may have difficulty posting.
Leontiana nods in satisfaction at the finery of the room - there's little to gain in working for a poor man, and working for him directly will pay more without the middleman. She bows politely as the Archbaron enters. "Yes, we will be glad to serve you in this. Can you tell us more about the threats to your rule?"
The auburn-haired woman greets the other group a pleasant smile and an appraising gaze. Her well-poilshed armor glints under her travelling cloak, as do her simple but tasteful rings and earrings. Her holy symbol - a devil-faced silver coin hangs on a chain around her neck"I'm Leontiana, disciple of Mammon. The people of Haxxon Ford were wise enough to reject this so-called Reclamation, and saw the necessity in supporting our efforts to stamp them out." She turns her attention to the office, examining the quality of the taxidermy and other items. "I am keen to meet the Archbaron, have you met him before? It's always useful to know who's paying you."
Hi! Let's have a profitable campaign!
I've adjusted for a 20pt buy
There's a replacement recruitment for another game atm, if anyone's interested. I think only change is it's 20pt instead of 25pt buy
My current HV game seems to have died after the first fight. Unless it suddenly springs back to life, I'll submit my character here. Leontiana here is a Cleric of Mammon, archdevil of avarice and wealth. Background:
Born to well off and unscrupulous merchants, Leontiana had a comfortable childhood. As she grew up her parents taught her well many life lessons :
As it can purchase anything, money is the most important thing in life A deal is fair when all parties agree to it - if later one party finds that it's not as fair as they thought, then that's their fault for not doing due diligence When someone steals from you, take full retribution. In her teens she helped out her parents' business - getting the best deals from their customers, learning how to display wares to conceal flaws and look their best, and even dealing with rivals shops. But, with two older brothers, there would not be enough profit for her to remain with the family business as an adult, so - as she was always a dutiful child - her parents purchased her an apprenticeship with their Mammonite priest. Now an adult, Leontiana has left home to make her own fortune. Thus far she has found some success by reporting possible malcontents to the appropriate authorities, but she has faith that soon wealth will flow to her. Crunch in profile, I think I just have to adjust to a 20-point buy. Party role would be buff/debuffs/healing, depending on what the rest of the party make-up is. Don't have any firm plans for future character progression, beyond going straight cleric.
GM seems to have disappeared anyway, looks like this campaign might be over unless we want to try and find another GM.
Leontiana shakes the lockbox as sneaks out, enjoying the satisfying rattle of the coins inside.
Leontiana makes sure her face covering is in place, casts a quick guidance, and clanks stealthily after the others.
"The old man's still outside - we've got to go quick before they spot him and raise the alarm."
Hey all, I'm pretty sick at the moment so I might be a bit slower in posting for a few days.
"Tapestries and the tools will link back to here unless we can remove the monograms - probably not worth taking them. The armor we should grab though - it should be easy to sell on. If there's nothing else, we should get out of here." Leontiana says.
Once she gets the all-clear, Leontiana opens the box.
Leontiana takes the lockbox reverently. "Riches come to those who take them." she says with a small smile. "Although I will take up your offer of magical protection." she adds to Samara. "You should guard your own wealth, and assume that other people do the same." Looking at the two keys carefully, she selects the most likely looking one and unlocks the box. ---
Fine by me, I'm in medium
Leontiana gathers everything from Louslik, then joins Kehlysch at the crate. "Remesiana Constabulary. Probably a job for them - brand new armor should be worth something, although I hope the constabulary don't investigate their missing armor too hard. Have you heard of them?" She asks, thinking over it herself. Entering the office, she announces "Picked these keys off the old man - have we found anything that needs unlocking? I can grant a small blessing to help search if anyone wants it." Casting guidance on herself (and anyone else who asks), she joins the search.
Leontiana replaces her spear. "Fair enough, I'm not going to argue with whoever's paying us." She murmurs a brief prayer - "Mammon, help me find wealth" - then bends over and retrieves Louslik's crossbow and pats him down for anything else he's carrying.
"Is he going to cause trouble if he recognises us later?" Leontiana asks. "If he knows his place, then we can take the money he owes, plus interest of course." she smiles. "But a stitch in time saves nine, as my grandmother used to say. Don't let small problems become big ones."
I hope this guy isn't John Wick
Leontiana attempts to catch the stubborn old man with the shaft of her spear, but her blow fails to connect.
If we'll be making use of Flagbearer, I'll swap out Bless for something else, as it doesn't stack with FB (also FB is a bit better) Probably more healing, because my channels aren't too helpful unless you are undead.
Leontiana scowls at Louslik's disobedience and briefly turns her attention to her bloodied leg. Grasping her symbol, she murmurs a brief prayer and the wound glows a faint golden red as it closes up. "I'm going to be annoyed if that gets infected from any of the filth that's festering here." She moves up into a flank opposite the stern-looking wizard.
Leontiana's voice takes on diabolical undertone as she commands Louslik "Get down on the ground like your dogs!." Glaring at him, she draws her shortspear.
Doesn't the dog still need to make a CMB roll for the trip?
Even though she still looks a little green, Leontiana strides towards the dog. She briefly touches her hand to the coin around her neck and the silver seems to spread over her hand as she balls it into a shining fist and swings a punch at the guard dog.
Leontiana quickly tears back her scarf and throws up loudly. "Mammon, let the rewards be worth all this", she mutters, wiping her mouth.
Leontiana squeezes through the gap as carefully as she can, but her shield catches on a loose board with a loud clatter. She inhales through her teeth in frustration, getting a large mouthful of the tannery stench in the process.
"I did spot a dog," adds Leontiana, tying a scarf over her mouth. "I'm not sure if it can smell us under the stench of the tannery, but we'll have to be ready to put it down fast if it does spot us."
Dark auburn hair frames a dimpled, pleasant-looking face that you might see in any marketplace, but tonight Leontiana has a determined expression as she quickly looks over her current companions with an appraising gaze before giving a quick nod of greeting. For the business tonight, she wears a dark cloak over her armor, and has forsaken her usual sparkly jewellery in the name of stealth and practicality - the one item remaing is her holy symbol that she wears around her neck - a coin bearing the face of a devil. A shield is currently slung over her back and a short spear is tucked into her belt. "I have a few questions." she tells Cimri. "How good are your assurances? I'm in if the pay is good enough, but if things do go pear-shaped, how's your boss going to get us out?" "Secondly, are we handing over everything we get? Or does your boss just want some things and we'll keep the rest?"
It was the same as Clarissa's which may have got confusing haha.
Hi everyone, let's have a profitable game!
I have changed my avatar
