With the humanoid spider's latest attack, Marilis falls to the ground.

"Thanks, Pip, I owe you one." Marilis mutters. She tries to swipe again, though the poison and her heavy wounds are definitely still making her moves sluggish.
She then takes a few steps back, hoping to build some distance between her and the ettercap, but her back is against the wall.
If you get in touch again, tell him we miss him!
Take care, Oren! I kinda know the feeling. The game's not going anywhere, at least, and we're always happy to see you again :)
While the poison courses through her, causing her to lose a bit of control of her muscles, she nonetheless tries to strike back!
"Some real charmers in here, huh?"
"Well, we already crashed through the door and fought a bunch of guys, I'm guessing they'll be on guard either way."
Marilis shrugs. "Fair enough, let's move then." She heads to the door and opens it up.
Marilis nods in agreement. "Good call." She then moves upward, sword still in hand. "There's three doors over here, wanna pick one of those?"
Marilis smirks, noting she doesn't have the beast's attention, and swiftly steps around to his flank, her guard still up. Parry for a potential of opportunity:
She then attacks!
Marilis rushes to back Gruhx up and attacks the ogrekin.
She grumbles at her poor attack, but keeps her guard up.
Opportune Parry:
Marilis chuckles. "So it's alright to kill to protect our territory? I'm sure many kings eager to go to war are thrilled to hear that." When Oren shouts his warning, Marilis instinctively throws open the doors and moves to cover. She then turns to Arren. "Think you got some more of those icy blasts in you, magic man?"
Marilis hears Pip's dislike for killing and shrugs, not really able to relate. "They were trying to kill us first, doesn't that make it necessary enough?"
Marilis slides down the ladder and dashes towards the guy attacking Gruhx. "Behind you!" She then strikes with her scimitar!
I think the confusion here might be that we thought you were targeting the guy I circled red on the map, but you're actually trying to target the guy I circled purple, right? I THINK that should be possible?
Marilis rushes to the stairs, ready to scamper down once Gruhx manages to break through.
Oh whoops, you're absolutely right. I might've been a bit too eager in getting my first Swash fight going, sorry about that!
"Oh, no you don't!" Marilis shouts, a sly grin on her face.
"I like this plan!"
Marilis braces herself.
More than anything, I'm just very glad to hear you've been doing better, Tallvar :)
"I don't mind coming with, for what it's worth. Between the two of us, I'm sure we can at least fend anything off long enough to get that door open." Marilis gives Pip a hearty slap on the shoulder. "Or don't you trust me?" she asks, flashing a grin that does not inspire trust.
Marilis notices Oren's intention to immediately head for the keep and agrees. "If what's hidden inside the keep can really help the girl, I see no reason to dally elsewhere. We can always sweep the area later."
"Either way, this place looks sorta... consecrated? Maybe the undead won't come here. That's how undead work, right? Can't get into too holy places?"
"Yeah, that sounds good to me." Marilis nods, readying her weapon.
Marilis shrugs and grabs her gear. "Fair enough, let's get started then."
Marilis pats Ooma on the shoulder. "There you go, that wasn't so hard, now, was it?" She then turns to Oren. "I'm with you on waiting for daylight, but we might want to wait with the town for that as well. If there's undead lurking around, I can't imagine they wouldn't have wandered into the rest of town."
"We have our reasons, Ooma. Sounds like you know something about the place, care to share?"
Aw, thanks you guys! That said, I'm really excited to get cracking, Brinewall looks like it's gonna be a good time!
"Would you look at that..." She turns to Sandru. "And you're saying the place is abandoned? Rumors of ghosts?" She smirks. "I wasn't expecting tagging along with you would be such a treat."
She rubs her hands together, ready to get the prep started. "Right. Let's get down to business, shall we?"
All ready here! I'll monologue a bit of a farewell and then we can move on if you ask me. EDIT: Oops, the monologue got wordy
As Pip reads the letter, Marilis nosily peers over his shoulder and reads along. "If you ask me, the best we can do right now is make sure the lady's alright and get to Brinewall as soon as possible. If the place really is connected to her current condition, it might be a bloodline thing? If that exists? After all, this letter must've been written before her time."
A smirk comes over Marilis face. "Sandru, you almost know me too well. Happy to be on board!" Not one to immediately get to freeloading, Marilis looks to see how she can make herself useful.
"Oh, y'know, the usual, got into some disagreements, decided I'd be best off trying my luck elsewhere, been on the road for a little while now, doing alright! What are you up to? Can't remember ever seeing you travel with a wild bunch as this!" She turns to the others. "Hi! name's Marilis." When Oren offers an invitation, she doesn't take very long to consider it. "If you'll have me, gladly! I don't have anywhere I need to be, and maybe some actual purpose for a little bit will be good on me. Where we going?"
Marilis stops at the sight of the massive Trox, a safe distance away from the caravans. "If those are the only choices, is 'friend' alright? Hey there! I was just on the road when I ran into someone, seemed like bad news, mumbled something about a caravan taking down all his goblin bandit buddies. Figured you'd might want him to face some sort of justice, so, uh, here he is!" She then eyes the other people a little. "Wait, Sandru, is that you?"
Sheee's done! |
