I'm interested still!

Still watching, sounds like good news Jamahzin, thanks for keeping us posted.
Yeah, this is probably the biggest train of hopeful applicants for a game I've seen in a while!
Yeah, we figured that in case we both got selected, it'd be a good idea and fun at the same time if our characters knew each other. So we put our heads together and came up with that, I just haven't updated my background to match just yet.
Wow, the interest level in this is pretty intense! I think this is the most apps I've ever seen for one game.
So Lineera has a right and proper alias now, so she is 100% ready to go if I'm as thorough as I think I am.
"You big glutton..." Lineera fishes out a copper piece and hands it to Maggie.
Lineera shrugs, then sighs. "I'm still alive right? Besides, I got Maggie backing me up, she's actually useful for things like this. Well, assuming I'm right about any of this." Smirking, the priestess strokes the constructs head.
Good to know, I was worried the butterflies would heal off of it, which is why I didn't use it. And I'm really sorry for the delay everyone, I got myself involved in too much when my free time was more abundant than it is now. Ended up burning out a bit. I'll try to keep on top of things better, cutting down on some things to keep this from happening again.
Lineera struggles to her feet as Eva forces the potion down her throat. "Ugh, that was a wretched experience." The fact that Lineera has little else to say on the matter, frankly seems somewhat out of character for her, but perhaps near death experiences are just becoming too routine. Incanting a new spell Lineera heals herself more.
Don't worry about it MDT, you've been so faithful in running this game I'd feel bad if anyone got grumpy over you not maintaining it 100% of the time. Take care of yourself, and we shall continue our war against the butterflies at your leisure!
Lineera takes the brunt of the worst of the attacks as she continues to try and flee from the swarm, her ears ringing as she shrieks in fear and pain.
Lineera bats away at the butterflies and attempts to flee the swarm as it advances.
Lineera keeps backing up, but then a thought occurs to her. She had seen a bee get hit by a raindrop once as it was flying, knocked the poor thing to the ground... Lineera begins incanting a spell and drops a small deluge of water onto the swarm.
Lineera quickly chooses a different line of approach and instead casts Bless on the party, and retreats from the oncoming swarm.
Well, I'm absurdly late, but made the level up changes to Lineera. STAT: +1 CHA
Spells Added:
Spells Cast: 1 First + 1 Second
And I took the 3 SP for feeding Maggie out of my funds, MDT.
Lineera pats Eva on the shoulder and backs away from the swarm. Clearly, this wasn't a job she was really that much good for.
"Let just pass them by, no good can come from us going there, trust me."
Sitting up and brushing her hair aside Lineera watches as Maggie chomps away on the coin. "She is an odd one, that's for sure, honestly I was dragging her along simply to try to get an idea of what she was good for. I mean, someone buried this thing in the basement of a powerful tower of necromancy behind a locked and trapped door with nothing else in it of value. I thought 'surely this can't just be an amusing toy otherwise it'd be kept out." Lineera postulates groggily as she continues trying to wake herself. "I think I'm beginning to get an idea though, Maggie's functionality is limited, but seems to focus around the defense of its owner, primarily that of a spellcaster. Reason she didn't really help much yesterday was probably because no one had 'fed' it in quite some time. It was out of power as it were."
I think that'll work, as far as this loot distribution, I think I'm good for the most part. Lineera got a good haul last time, and it'd only be fair for me to be a little on the sidelines this time.
Lineera rolls about on the ground annoyed, her hair messily coiling about her. "Why do you even want a coin?"
Lineera smiles at Riley, but awkardly. "No thanks."
"Well, if that's what you think Mahb." Lineera doesn't discuss the magical tome much further. "Well I'm going to go to sleep now."
"Yeah, the kobold cave was no fun at all... I got an arrow in the kidney and spears in the... all of my torso with a trap I sprung. I'm damn lucky I had the companions I did when I went into that place or there's no way I'd have survived." Lineera replies to Kjel's comment. "If it comes down to it, we'll go of course, but I'd still suggest we go to that mansion. Things are done here at any rate, whether they succeeded or failed I can't tell, but I don't much care at this point. The rendezvous was at a Chateau, so I'd say that's where we should go to put an end to this... I only wish I was better at my craft to do such things..." Lineera sinks into silence for a moment before mentioning. "But I found out some things about the spellbook we found. It's not much anything I can use, I can recognize arcane spells, but I don't know enough to use them. But it's a necromancer's arcane spellbook, may sell for a good amount at least. Someone's bound to find it useful." Lineera doesn't take terribly long to fall asleep once back at the witch's hut, she almost died twice today, such things were tiring.
Lineera will be right by the door in case (read: when) things go bad, but doesn't want to be caught in the initial... whatever bad happens.
Lineera grimaces. "Not exactly any more fun for me, but I doubt anyone else could get anything out of it." Lineera produces a handkerchief and picks up the book gingerly, holding it slightly out from herself.
Lineera hangs back from the moss, obviously well and done with plants trying to eat her from the inside out. "Let me know if anyone gets hurt in there."
Lineera peers through the spyglass, pondering, then states. "Well, I do see a big fancy mansion over a small village is one of our options... the green one." Lineera straightens up and looks to the group. "The question is, were the coffins on the lower floor a decoy like Mahb was suggesting? Or a failed version of the same ritual we broke up? Or a successful one (I don't know what they were trying to accomplish). It could be that those mercenaries who showed up here may have mucked things up for them though... maybe they tried to pull the bodies out of the coffins and that... muck is what happens if you do. If both the rituals failed, they may well just go to their rally point to discuss their next options. It's either that or Carion Hill, any final thoughts before we begin exiting?"
"Well, I suppose Carrion Hill seems as good a place as any, sounds... deathly at any rate. Though we are looking for a "Chateau" based on what the letter said. Did anyone see anything like looked like a big manor or house of some kind through there? We can maybe narrow things down with that, a manor on Carrion Hill would probably be the most obvious of choices." Lineera guesses out loud for their next target. As anyone replies, Lineera takes hold of the Spyglass and swivels it towards the various markings, seeing if she can't find something that matches up.
"Let's check the remaining markings and see what we find."
"I guess it was made to house this spyglass? If it was at this blue mark, that may give us some idea of what they were looking at last." Lineera starts casting a Mending spell on the spyglass. "Anyone want to take a look through the glass and see what they can see?"
"Huh, hold on a second Kjel..." Lineera points at the railing, noting two small markings on the rail, a white and a green one about two inches long. "Anyone have any ideas about what these are for? They look new."
"Maybe they have something to do with that mount, any ideas what's supposed to slot in there?"
Lineera looks down across the field that surrounded the tower, and tries to make sure that the dead out there, are still out there, and still dead.
"I should be able to tell, once we're out of the area at least, things are just too thick here. Sorry you got in all this Kjel... We're dealing with some nasty stuff here." Lineera offers the man a weak smile. "But, looks like we're done on this floor. Next up?"
"That uh, big... plant lady just downstairs."
Lineera sits down and works through the pile of goods left behind by the dead Tanyasha. "A saddle? I don't like the look of that, I haven't seen anything that she would have ridden in here yet. Keep on guard." Lineera follows the group to the next room.
Lol, I'm still expecting a boogie man in every room.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer we still had a dedicated battle medic on staff, but the more healing we have on hand the better regardless. If MDT allows the feat I'm looking at, by level 5 Lineera should be able to churn out enough cannon fodder that a party member breaking away from a fight to heal someone will be a little less insane.
And once more, another party member figures out a way to heal themselves. I think that brings us up to 3 healing capable members? I think we're beginning to make up for our lack of Cleric.
"Yeah, some joker apparently decided to make a construct that looked like an undead crow." Lineera states as she pats Eva on the head. "And hey! Being perceptive and being good at necromancy are completely different things! Next time let me know if you see anything dangerous okay? You don't have to stay quiet then."
Lineera lets go of Alexis and looks somewhat disappointed by Mahb's explanation. "I suppose that makes more sense, doesn't it?" Sighing, the priestess steps back and says, "Well, my name's Lineera, priestess of Pharasma, it's nice to meet you." The introduction over, Lineera turns back towards Riley. "I think 'okay' may be a bit of an overstatement Riley, but I'm alive, and I don't think any of these wounds will cause lasting injury. That's about the best I can hope for." She shrugs weakly. "But ever since what happened, with the weird energy stuff? I've been thinking, and I think it's given me some clarity." Incanting a new spell, Lineera's wounds begin to heal.
Seeming pleased with the results, Lineera nods. "There, that should scar a little less." Looking to Eva, the drow smiles. "I think this is fair turn about, wouldn't you say?"
At Alexis' question, Lineera's the one to answer, though indirectly. "Oh you, come on! Get out of there!" Lineera unsling's her backpack and gives it a shake, then pulls out a skeletal crow. "Did you know there were all those skeletons in the vines? Was that why you were avoiding picking at those vines like I asked? Whoever made you sure was a weird necromancer..." As the party moves on upstairs, Lineera hangs back a bit, clearly not relishing the idea of being injured again.
Lineera struggles to her feet with a groan. "Oh goddess above, I nearly went to the Boneyard there didn't I?" Lineera looks to the corpse of the necromancer and spits upon it. "That's for calling me b&$#*, b*%~*!" Turning towards her comrades she asks, "Is everyone... all...right?" Her eyes focus on Alexis. "A-Alexis? I... I don't understand. You were dead..." Lineera walks shakily towards the woman, then throws her arms around her in a hug. "I'm so glad your safe."
