though we may be interrupted by a particular halfling running for her life?

Maria is a jack of all trades. So she is fine in that spot.

Well, that went smoothly. Probably best If I stay with these guys and gals for the time being.... but... lets stay on our guard. Maria gives a smile all around. Her rapier arm resting by her side. Well, alright then. I'll put my trust in you guys, as it seems this inn isn't worthy of it. hmhm, please, don't disappoint me all.
2nd/1st story group?: He looked like a big, tough man. Yeah, lets get him to deal with that... thing for us. Huh thats odd. maybe... its for their protection. Did the owners know about that thing? ARE they that thing? stop. Questions for later.
Maria goes to move up the stairs.
We would be very grateful, of course.
Man, hopefully our wizard can get off a couple good spells
well. At least its not cannibalism.
Maria tries to remain as quiet as she can while she works. Crap crap crap. I only ever dabbled with this stuff.... Though hopefully luck is on my side... gonna need a lot of it.
Maria tries to pop the lock. Giving Isabella a low "shush" as she does so.
bathhouse: Maria stops for a moment. Wait, not Towards it. Lets go to the main tavern. Maybe some of the folk there can help us. Right? I'd rather not fight that thing with just the two of us... Besides, they need to be warned as well. She would stand firm, at least for a bit insisting to go to the tavern.
oh ok. Did she see anything in the hallway?
@GM do you mean I heard it outside the door before opening it?
bath house: Maria casts another detect magic, and she makes sure to keep it active as she walks around. Knowing there is magic about is always helpful. If maria does not hear anything, nor see any magical auras on the other side of the door, she will crack it open and peak into the hallway. Ready to stab the first out of place thing she sees. Like, a suddenly reappeared elf, or a mound of shambling flesh, or some other third thing.
If she sees noting, she waves for Isabella to follow.
* dun dun duuuuuuun*
oh also, I just realized, disable device is NOT in fact a bard skill,so that disable device roll should be 3 lower. :/
"Yes, excuse me sir, it seems your door is broken. Don't worry! I'll fix it right up!"
I'd just want to point out, I am waiting to see if Maria hears anything before posting again. She doesn't want to open the door to a pile of teethy breasts and flesh.
bath house: The giggly smile on Maria fades as she sees the... thing. Ok, nope, don't think that's normal.
Maria quickly shuts the door, turns, grabs Isabelle and drags her down the hall either to a side door, or back to the baths. She locks the door once inside.
During the rush, and after, Maria tries to be as quiet as possible, and put them in an area of the room easiest to hide in. After a moment, she stops and listens, she also draws her Rapier as a precaution. It is quite clear she is serious, and almost terrified.
also, what kind of slaaneshy hell did that demon spawn from haha
Oh, Maria was going to walk away without a second thought, until she heard that XD. She just can't resist pristine opportunity. Or what seems like pristine opportunity
bath hourse: Oh I don't know, sounds like a fun time. Would you two care for another?! Would be more fun I'm sure! She can't help but chuckle a bit. She then moves to the door and looks to Isabelle, slowly putting a finger to her lips, a small smile growing as well.
she carefully pops the door open, preparing a *ghost sound* spell. To replicate the sound of a barbershop quartet, female version of course. And a dancing lantern spell, ball version, with the singing coming from the balls. Both spells would be placed in the room and Maria would also try to snag a peek at their reactions to her little prank.
Oh my, She says with a giggle at Isabella's response. She then stops and places a hand on her hip. and are you friends with the halfling? I ask as you seem to have a curious affection for him. And because I assume you wouldn't call a stranger runt. Maria says, stopping a few steps down the hall, a curious expression on her face.
Maria tsks. I promise I am no girl, I'm a full woman. But, that is a shame. Oh well. Though, if you get scared tonight, My doors are always open. She laughs, it seems she is jesting, then again, maybe not. She moves to Isabella gestures out the door. Well, shall we return to the main audience then? I doubt that any trouble would come with so many other tavern goers even if your gloom and doom prophecies prove to be even the slightest bit true.
GM, are you ok with others reading spoilers? I haven't yet, as I am not sure how you stand on that bit. I'd like to think I wouldn't use the knowledge in a meta-gamey way, but sometimes things can have subtle shifts. I try not to let it though. Just wanted to know before I start snooping around spoilers for other people. Also, that comment doesn't make me feel better Morsun >.<
Darling, I do appreciate the gesture of looking out for me while I pampered myself haha. But I don't think the small one warrants watching over me. Besides, I can take care of myself ya know. Unless, you have ulterior reasons She mockingly gasps and places her hand over her mouth. She holds the expression for several seconds before laughing.
As for danger, I'm not so sure. I don't think there is much of anything out of the ordinary. Unless you are trying to accuse this entire tavern as some hoax or front. She laughs off the thought for a moment before looking at her closer. You aren't are you? That is ridiculous. However, she can't help but cast detect magic and take a look around the room.
ooo. so whats going on Olly?
Fine, Isabelle, and I can understand that. Maria will sigh, after about 5 to 10 minutes and get out of the bathe, her figure glistening in the torch light. Warm water is so much more enjoyable than cold rain water, not to mention when it isn't soaking through your cloak. If Isabelle is still there at the time. Welp, I think the tavern goers have gone without our beauty long enough eh? And don't worry, I won't tell anyone that I caught you staring. she chuckles as she dries herself with the towel and some magic, and gets ready to head back out to the tavern main room.
Well, bella, I for one enjoy sitting for bit in warm water. Its nice to sit back and think on things ya know? Anyway, you can call me Maria, or Ravensong, I'll answer to both. You see her perform a few arcane gestures. Then the towel begins floating next to the bath she was in. Besides, I can keep myself clean without water, I do it for the enjoyment. And I can keep the water warm and cozy long as I want. You should to lighten up a bit. She gives a snap and Isabella's water warms again. Maria spends a minute humming as she rests in one of the bathe "buckets" playfully handling her rapier before speaking again.
Maria gives a smirk to Ollymer And No peeking! She laughs and goes into the room. After a moment she smiles to Isabella. Well, miss tall and serious. Whats your name? You know a bath is a place where most people relax a bit right? She laughs as she speaks.
roll20 is free, the free features are actually pretty decent too.
She sings several melodic songs throughout the night, starting with more lively ones, and ending with slower ones to relax the inn-goers. In between songs she speaks to others, drinks, or takes a bite to eat.
Maria eavesdrops on the conversation. Trying to recall any rumors of the such. But just sighs as nothing pops to her mind. She slides closer, now that her clothes are dry and warm again. When Jenkins speaks of payment. Maria gives a sly smile.
Sounds like dangerous work either way. And without knowing for sure whether or not you'd be rewarded for it, I can see why most would shy away from attempting. she casually places herself into the conversation.
Maria was already sitting near the fire, Singing a slow, gentle and melodic song while her clothes dried.
She loved places like this, always able to make a few gold, always able to get some food and a bed merely for a few songs. Her long red hair glinting off the fire. She has a violin with her though she is not playing it. She wore a green cloak around her simple looking clothes, however, if you watched you would see the glint of still every now and then as her chain shirt reflected the light of the fire whenever the cloak shifted. leaning against her chair rests a shortbow, and two quivers. Her Bright blue eyes glistening like sapphires. There seemed to be a warm, welcoming air about her. And many of the tavern patrons had moved closer to listen to her songs.
Parties here all! Whos ready for some fun? haha. |
