Stowing her gear in her room, Lilandra proceeds to have a thouroughly enjoyable night, dancing, socialializing and taking full opportunity of the chance to have a good time.
As Bardolin gathers his things and prepares to lead them to the inn, Lilandra speaks to one of the attendants. "Our blond elven friend is asleep at the bottom of the pool and will most likely be down there for a few hours at least.Could you make sure she could remain undisturbed and her stuff taken care of, maybe even get the sand out of everything?" she smiles at the man, pretending not to notice his gaze regularly falling from her eyes. "Oh and if she does happen to wake up can you tell her that we're staying at Kokin's?" She slips a few gold into his hands, giving him a stunning smile."This is for keeping an eye on her things, I really appreceiate it.", she says in a dulcet tone, her hand squeezing the man's ever so gently as she transferred the coins.
A warm smile crosses Lilandra's face as she reads the letter. "Glad I could serve as a distraction..." Going through her gear she takes out a silver pendant, a silver thrush with a curling tail set in a silver circle. Carefully she wraps the paper around the pendant and watches as the symbols transfer with a flare of white magefire before fading. Folding the blank charcoal paper and sticking it into her backpack, she stands upright eschewing her armor and slipping into a free flowing white silk dress and donning slippers with elevated heels. As the others join her she raises holds out the pendant to Magnus, turning her back to him and lifting her hair, she speaks over her shoulder in a tone that only the other paladin can hear as he helps her with the necklace. "Well, two things I know for sure now, we're being targeted...or at least I am....and we've got friendly eyes looking out for us. I'll explain more when we have rooms."
DM: Does this mean it has to be wrapped around a weapon ant he benifits only come when using that weapon?
As the day turns to evening Lilandra thoroughly enjoys herself as she and Magnus get to know Bardolin while availing themselves of the bath's services. Finally, feeling completely at ease she slowly climbs out of the pool, a tiny grin crossing hher features as she can feel the eyes drawn to her form cascading water as she walks to the attendant's desk to grab a towel. As a champion of the Goddess of Beauty, she had a responsibility to provide those around her with the opportunity to appreciate her own. She dries of unhurriedly, then wraps the towel around herself as she checks her gear.
"Definitely, sweaty," Lilandra chuckles. "And dangerous, we faced quite alot to get here, which is why we're so happy to relax and why Sunny's so exhausted." she glances over at Magnus, clearly remembering his death then shakes her head, giving him a wink when he notices her gaze. "It's definitely been interesting so far, I guarantee if you travel with us, you'll have plenty to sing about."
Lilandra enjoys the music..and the attention, as she enjoys the process of washing off the dust and sand and laying back in the water, her body eagerly enjoying the indulgence of some well earned pampering.
Lilandra llooks at the bard with a chuckle of amusement, "I don't think she's dissolved Bardolin, Sunny's an aquatic elf, she just decided to get more comfortable before falling asleep at the bottimof the pool. I saww her when I ducked under before."
Don't even remeber what the gnome ranger had, the sorcerer sort of ovrshadowed him.
Always up for a nice balance of RP and combat, been in a few games with Sunny and RP is always pretty awesome there. We've got a very unique compination of characters which can play out as really fun I think as long as we don't go so RP heavy that the new characters are stuck in a holding pattern. Of course Bards are all about RP.
Handing over the rest of her weapons and equipment to the attendant Lilandra removes her armor, stepping out of the rest of clothing with a sly grin, she makes her way over to the pool and enters the soothing water,a small groan of enjoyment escaping her as her battle-tired body slowly felt the relaxation spread through her entire body. Ducking beneath the water for a moment to completely immerse herself, she soon breaks the surface again a deep breath and a sigh speaking volumes of the need for downtime. "Coming in boys?" she says with a smile.
The soothing aromas, beautiful setting and the thought of slipping into the pool fills Lilandra's senses, distracting the normally alert warrior, as she slips off her boots.
I love the fact that we have two Paladins, one of whom is the classic noble knight in shining armor and the other of whom is a borderline hedonist.
"Why thank you!" she replies making her way over to the stations. She looks over her shoulder at Magnus and Bardolin "Looks like they're a pretty open society here in some respects.Well, laws of the land I suppose, besides I've never been one to oppose either the appreciation of the body or indulgence in pampering." Her grin broadens, looking to the attendant to stow her equipment and indicate procedure while unbuckling her hammer belt and unslinging the axe from across her back. "This is long overdue," she sighs.
With a grin and a shrug Lilandra turns to the man with a nod of acknowledgement."As you can see from my friend's reaction, your pools are both beautiful and inviting. Is there somewhere we can stow our gear and clothing?"
As they walk along, listening to Bardolin speak Lilandra can feel herself beginning to relax in anticipation of some much needed self pampering, keeping an eye out for the much touted bathing pool.
Lilandra's smile grow broader at the mention of the much needed point of relaxation. "Bathing pool, bath salts and a beautiful garden? Consider me sold!" she says reaching ito a pouch to produce the necessary payment. "Lead on Bardolin, My name's Lilandra by the way, and these are Sunny and Magnus."
Lilandra shifts, supporting Sunny more as she fails to hide the grin at Magnus' reprimand. "It's alright Magnus, I'm sure our new friend here didn't mean any disrespect. Although telling a woman she looks like a prune is never a good idea." She brushes a hand through her hair, dislodging sand as she does so, "But Sunny's right, after trekking through the desert a nice while in water will be extremely welcome."
Lilandra smiles at the confused looking fellow, all bright colors and mayhem "You remind me of a painting I saw once. Are you all right?" she asks with a warm smile.
[B]"Well, let's see what all the noise is about,"Lilandra says to her friends after waving to Khaod. She heads in the direction of the loud crashing.
For our new Bard, best bard spell ever!
"Oh, these scroll, yeah we got these off this zombie goblin wizrd who was trying to make a deal and....." "I...think I would like to travel with you people." LOL I can see that.
"I suppose we can see what all the ruckus is about before dropping off our gear and heading to the bathing pool, but it better be quick." Lilandra mumbles, goodnaturedly whilst shouldering her gear.
Lilandra dismonts the mightly warhorse, reaching up to help Sunny down, the aquatic elf moving gingerly from a mixture of soreness and dehydration. Handing the reigns of the stallion to one of the legion hands who appears reaching for them she looks around at the fortress, taking in the warm beauty of the salt bricks and saltstone walls. "How likely do you think it is that they have a bath chamber in a place like this?" she asks with a grin,"It seems we have a day to recoover and recharge, and I plan to enjoy every second of it."
Lilandra can't quite hide the grin at Sunny's enthisiasm, or the groan of someone not used to being on horseback, as she mounts in front of the achy elf. "Trust me it'll all make the eventual soothing bath that much better.....whenever we actually come across water that is."she sighs somewhat humorously.
Spoiler:
Bard/Oracle & Wizard Feels like they'd work best with the existing dynamic.
Spoiler: I say Bard/Oracle and Scrollmaster Wizard
I agree with the fact that heavy hitters isn't really our deficit, as can be plainly seen in the current combat. Healing and/or magical firepower would be useful, as would utility magic.
Lilandra explodes into action, axe tracing an elegant and deadly arc as she charges the bug attacking Khaod, planting the blade deep in the creature's body.
Discussion board only Spoiler:
Atrigger happy psycho in a group with 2 Pally's is just asking for trouble. Borum's sounds interesting though. In other news, Magnus isn't alllowed to charge anymore, the dice hate him!
There's 2 paladins in the party, shooting random people in the head may be a really bad idea.
Leveling her crossbow, Lilandra fires at one of the lumps, then dismounts, dropping the crossbow to ready her axe. Her free hand resting against the warhorse and Sunny's leg steadying the beast for the less experienced rider.
Lilandra reins in the warhorse, looking at the sand. "There's what looks like tracks over there, they would have to have passed here after the storm."
Survival Lilandra grins at Sunny's actions behind her on Gorchag's massive stallion, longing for an opportunity to luxuriate in a bath, while appreciating the devastating power of the sand storm. She guides the well trained horse with her knees, looking at their surroundings.
"That would work, besides, Magnus needs his own horse more than I do," she replies with a mischevious grin. "Trust me I think your commander would be far more unhappy if you came back undead, Gorchag."
"That makes sense I suppose, knowing how something works can give an idea on how to unravel it. Fair enough" She pauses looking over the group as they ready themselves. "Um, aren't we a horse short now?"
Oh I don't doubt it for a second. And Khaod, I think you should have the amulet.
As morning broke, Lilandra rose to view the beauty of the sunrise. Stretching as was her normal morning routine, she donned her cleaned armor and joined the others in preparation for the morning trek. "Something occurred to me last night. That scroll the little monster was going to use,I wouldn't want that falling into anyone else's hands. I'd rather destroy it than sell something that allows people to raise the dead."
Here's the conunudrum, Lilandra can't really use any of the other stuff and without an arcane or full divine spell caster (yay hardcore killin' types) the scrolls and staff should be sold. Except for one thing, did anyone identify the scroll as a scroll of animate dead. If not, it'll sell just fine but if someone did, there's no way Lilandra would allow the opportunity for that to get into some bastard necromancer's hands. She'd destroy it first. On the topic of another character we definitely do need healing, and maybe some spellcasting power. Fortunately in Pathfinder there's a ton of options, Cleric, Witch, Druid, Bard as well as certain Archetypes of other classes all make good healers. I do like the vote or veto power so we can keep tthe fun dynamic this party has.
"I know," Lilandra replies squirming. "I'd love a hot bath, or even settle for a river at this point," She sighs, a quite noticeable action on her form. "But after a day like today I'd gladly settle for a good night's sleep."
Lilandra grins. "We should set up camp for the night and let the storm pass."
Lilandra steps forward offering a warm, if less ebullient than Sunny's, yet heartfelt embrace. "Welcome back!"
Ranger would be good for you especially since there's a crossbow archetype to compliment your chosen fighting style.
Yeh, used lay on hands in the fight to prepare for the charge into the fire.
Looks like we lost Dim and everyone's chimed in.
"We would be greatly in your debt if you were capable of this. I wold leave it up to your wisdom as to how to best proceed." Lilandra smiles at the stone clad dwarf, brushing sand out of her hair. |
