Sweet Pea wakes early and goes to look out into the rain.
She spends most of her time staring straight up into the clouds, letting her face get drenched.
Sweet Pea looks around at the chaos in mock surprise. "What? You lumber guys think you can just walk into the forest and take whatever you want, but I can't come into YOUR home and take YOUR stuff? What a double standard!" She starts kicking plates off the table onto the floor.
@GM the Fifth: I'm PMing you a bit of info on Kelly.
Kelly will be staying at the inn the original second group fortified, I forget the name. Edit: Defender's Heart, right there on the map
Stunned by her majesty’s presence, Kelly can only speak when asked to give her account of the assault on the garrison. She silently bows, kneels, and stands as appropriate through the brief knighting ceremony. Me, a knight? I’m just a cook!
Just to be clear, was that 1000 to split, or 1000 each? Not that I need so much, anyway. Kineticist is probably the least gear-dependent class. Other than the regular items that everyone gets, or maybe a conductive weapon, I don’t really require anything.
Turning to Kelly, he says ”We won. But I would not say that the city is safe yet.” "Then we should get out there and get to work!" she says, cleaning and sheathing her blades, "As we're all feeling fresh and ready to go, apparently."
Anyone else hearing this conversation in their heads in the standard Skyrim khajiit voices? :P
Sweet Pea reaches for the gift with a trembling hand. Her fingers linger a moment longer than intended on the nymph’s palm, and the leafy girl turns bright red, mumbles something that sounds like “thnku”, then turns and runs for the boat, where she dives in and curls up in the bottom where she can’t be seen from the river bank. ——— Later, as the boat drifts down the river, and her friends discuss their situation, she remains curled up in the bottom of the boat, intently examining the ring on her finger. “She gave me a ring,” she mutters to herself, then finally looks up at the others, “does that mean we’re married?”
“Oh, ok.” Sweet Pea replies dejectedly, but then recovers quickly, “You seem nice though. You can really turn into wolves? That’s neat! Can I see?” She bounces on her perch in anticipation.
“Oh, hi!” she lands on a branch near the pool and waves at the druids, “I’m a Sweet Pea! What’s your names? I’m just kinda exploring. Someone told me there were werewolves in these woods! Have you seen any? They sound dangerous, so I was hoping to not bother them. How’s the water in your pool? It looks like a fun place for a swim!”
"AIGHT!" Sweet Pea launches herself skyward almost before Krogge's question is complete, her latest flower creation scattered and forgotten.
Sweet Pea seems delighted to be back in the wild woods, though she spends more time making everyone flower crowns out of the early spring blooms she’s collecting than doing anything particularly useful.
The halfling turns bright red at the attention. "Thanks, I'm OK, it didn't hit very hard, doesn't even hurt." she replies, standing and brushing herself off. "Did anything hear us?"
Kelly plops down on the ground, panting. She seems unhurt, despite taking a few blows from the creature.
Kelly's eyes go wide as the creature shrinks and flails at her. She ducks the attacks, then strikes back with a sudden ferocity.
Her work done, Lililinda ducks back down the ladder. Better to give the warriors room to work. Should the laughing stop early, she could be back up in a dash.
Lililinda pokes her head up into the room, looks at the enemy straight in the eyes, and asks him a question. “Do you know why rogues prefer leather armor? ... Because it’s made out of hide!”
Lililinda quickly goes through the work of cleaning up the scene, speaking her magic words a quietly as she can.
I doubt I'd be able to lift it
Satisfied, Sweet Pea dashes into the street, and begins
Lililinda stands bewildered as the others move on. She stares down at the pile of charred bones that are all that remains of her ward, wondering what she could possibly have done to deserve such spiteful words. The only thing she knew now for certain was that she could no longer consider that woman a friend.
Lililinda jumps between Innis and Xaeen. “EXCUSE me, but WHAT ARE YOU DOING? She is under my control, and thus my protection! It’s the least I can do after taking away her agency.” the little fashionista shouts, “If you have a problem with her, please discuss it with me!”
Rogar is briefly stunned by the sudden attack on the group's "guide", but recovers and steps up beside the human to deliver a punch with his armored fist.
Sweet Pea watches the scene unfold until something clicks into place in her head. "Oh! I messed up your ambush, didn't I? Sorry." She stands up upon the parapet, looking down at the solitary catfolk approaching the band of hobgoblins. "If this goes bad, I'll fly out and help him."
Sweet Pea goes to check on the injured soldiers first thing in the morning. “Wow, you guys look a lot better already!” She pokes quizzically at a patch of one soldier’s skin, that once bore a memorable, but now missing wound. “Like, suspiciously better...”
I realized there is another brawler in the running, an earlier and arguably more enthusiastic submission than mine XD Instead, I'd like to try something very exotic. How would you feel about an Astomoi(Astomos?) Psychic? Background: Class:Psychic(Rapport discipline) Traits: Born under the Green Star(Regional, Castrovel), Desperate Focus, Sensitive Mind(AP) Memories: living in/near Sovyrian, on Castrovel. Working as a cook. Having psychic powers a little beyond the norm for her race. Personality: She is selfless, and derives great satisfaction from seeing close friends safe and happy. She likes to solve problems without violence. She would more prefer to gain a friend than destroy an enemy. Appearance: A gangly feminine silhouette with shoulder length hair. Like the majority of her people, she is comfortable with nudity, and tends to not wear anything without some immediate utility. Limits: Same as what most others are saying, in regards to sexual violence, etc. I believe if we all play with maturity and empathy, things will work out ok.
Sweet Pea watches the human take an arrow. "Ooh, that looks like it hurt! You can still run away!" She stands up when the first hobgoblin comes running out, then hits him in the face with a burst of high velocity leaves and seeds.
Sweet Pea drops onto the roof of the bunkhouse, just above the door the human ran into. “Hello in there!” She calls into the building, leaning over the edge of the roof. “It would be really neat if you guys ran away, then we could just fight the hobbie gobbies.”
AH! I believe I misread the deal. I thought they were only leading us TO the place! I'll hang on to my pet skelly for the agreed upon duration
Sweet Pea hasn't yet been able to shake off the effects of using her powers. Her eyes shine subtly, and the sound of a gentle breeze rustling through a forest canopy follows her everywhere.
Lililinda spends a moment to look over the trinkets, waving away the acrid fumes from Innis's "lockpicking".
Kelly zips around to the other side of Aberus, then dives into the room, ducking between legs to pop up on the other side of the mass of enemies.
Congratulations!
All those evil tiefling mages look identical. There’s an assembly line somewhere
Lililinda looks from the hole in the ceiling to the "hole" in the debris. "Perhaps some form of magical lift or levitation will take one up through there? And the effect disturbed the, um, debris here." She picks up a small object (the cleanest one she can find), and readies herself to toss it into the clear spot on the floor. "Shall I?"
I'm feeling up. Just got a new job
Lililinda pulls on the woman with one hand, while trying to press her glaive into her grip with the other. "Come on, shake it off! Where's the big brave warrior I know?"
Alright, plan B: Kill everyone. That's ALWAYS my Plan B
"But of course, Kirzon dear!" Lililinda pulls an elegant hand mirror from her satchel. "I wouldn't go anywhere without one.
“Yep, I was right.” Lililinda squeaks softly, “Otherworldly horrors from forgotten lightless caverns. It’s only getting worse from here on down.” She hurries along, unwilling to be left closest to the unnameable monstrosity.
"Hey! Doncha wanna vote? It's your Civic Doody!" Sweet Pea calls after the departing ruffians. "Hehe, doody."
I would vote B, as Lililinda would definitely retire after this ordeal and open a boutique.
"Now that all that is taken care of, let's get back to our friends as soon as we can." Lililinda says worriedly. "I can't help thinking that something dreadful might happen to them, with just the three of them down there alone."
AH! Where am I? Who are you people? Wait, I remember you now. It was so long ago...
As the others disperse to their separate jobs, Sweet Pea suddenly remembers a friend she met on her first day in town. Was it only yesterday, or the day before? So much has happened! I told him I'd be right back! What was his name again? She flits about the village, hopping from rooftop to rooftop, looking for the boy she met before.
"Interesting choice in decor." Lililinda mutters to herself. "This time, I predict the armor displays will start swinging those things at our heads. Oh! And the burning skulls will start flying about the room!"
"Zombies literally coming out of the walls, this is getting quite tiresome." Lililinda mutters to herself. "And that one is definitely about to jump up and zap us all, I just know it!" She points her umbrella like a sword at the corpse on the slab. She waits at the door while the others explore the room.
