With the door swinging open, Mayumihops back five feet diagonally, takes aim at the cleric in the doorway and carefully squeezes the trigger. Mayumi's quarrel thuds into the wall behind Faux.

"Hmmph.. Miss Crossbow indeed. I'll have you know, that I've a name. Umm. One moment and we'll get back to the appropriate way to address a woman, you... you... Mr. elf," finishes Mayumi. She then takes aim and looses a bolt right into the raider facing Vaethic, staggering the bandit. She then takes a couple of steps towards the now closed doors of the hunting lodge.
Mayumi rapidly begins to load her repeating crossbow with bolts, after several seconds she finishes loading and eyes the last southern bandit.
Mayumi walks a bit closer, getting her new elf friend out of the way before firing her final shot in this clip at raider 12 coming up from the south side of the lodge. The bolt slams home into a perfect heart shot, dropping the raider instantly.
Mayumi moves 10 feet forward in the difficult terrain and then shoots Raider 10, missing a vital area but still significantly wounding the man.
With a clear line of sight, Mayumi takes aim and fires a bolt right into Raider 2's chest. "Finally hit someone!"
There's just too many people in the way for me to get a clear shot. "Duck!" shouts Mayumi as she attempts a shot at one of the bandits, even though there are so many people in the way. The shot goes wide again.
Round 1, Init 13
Following closely after Haze and Zypher, Mayumi draws her crossbow and when Zypher announces their presence she gasps, "You beardless, willow-waisted, lump of anthracite for a head pretty man! What are you doing just shoving in!". That man is crazy!Then she realizes with a sudden blush that she rather likes that.This man might have potential. Wonder how he feals about fur...
"Well this lady, thinks that Valgor is better off smacking things with his new sword and singing his rousing war songs than dancing about on the winds bringing succor to the needy."chides Mayumi, as she quickly snatches the wand from Valgor and tosses it to Zypher. " I bet the phrase attached there is the activation word!"
"Well I did try calling your attention to it, but our orcish friend here was very eager to examine the wand." explains Mayumi, and with an impish grin continues, "I'm not really a Lady, though I do like how Sir Faux calls me Lady Sasaki."
With little trouble, Mayumi skips across the ice and assists Faux in examining the corpse. "No wounds, it looks like he might have died of the cold weather. Several people perished from the cold during my trip over the Crown of the World." sighs Mayumi. Looking at the items closely she calls out to Zypher, "Pretty man! This looks like a wand. Want to check it out?"
"One of the bar patrons, mentioned that Dansby had been complaining that some of his crops had gone missing the other day. It looks like he came out here to find out what was happening and froze to death. Rough death for a Taldan soldier. We should bring his remains back to town when we head back."
After Mayumi spends a couple of moments attempting to recover spent bolts and reloading her crossbow, she examines the trail more closely. Suppressing a shiver, she closes up her leather armor more tightly and falls in next Zypher. "Ah, pretty man. Don't worry so much about the traps and tricks of these foul monsters. It just makes them more fun to hunt. comments Mayumi. In a conspiratorial whisper to Zypher, "Err.. Did you see Sir Faux glow from inside the armor? Do you think there is something off about him?"
Mayumi takes careful aim, with all the combatants in such a scrum she can't get a clear shot.
With this miss, she stows her crossbow and steps a bit closer to the battle. "Maybe someone should grab the little bugger out of the sky, and give him a squeeze!" suggests Mayumi.
Round 3, Init 10 Moving so that the melee combatants don't block her shot, Mayumi takes careful aim at the final blue fairy. She squeezes the trigger and misses as the wily fairy uses her companions as a distraction. "Arrgh! Damn fairy stand still so I can shoot you!" complains the young woman.
With her line of fire to the Tatzylwyrm effectively blocked, Mayumi takes careful aim at the other blue fairy. "Yuln was right to fear these little blue pests, they are quite a handful! I hope our elf friend is going to be all right." comments Mayumi as she squeezes the trigger on her repeating crossbow.
"Damn flighty fairy! Hold still so I can put this cold iron in your..." grumps Mayumi as the bolt misses and buries itself in a snowbank.
Round 1, Init 10
"You damned filthy fairy, that's the last time you fling that color stuff at me!" shouts Mayumi. She turns with her readied crossbow and shoots the little blue sprite, easily splitting the little creature in half, permanently ending its evil ways.
Taking aim at the stag,"Last chance. Reveal yourself and explain your purpose in delaying us on this path or I'll shoot the stag!" demands Mayumi. I know a trickster when I see.. erm hear one.
"So a talking stag? This feels off." mutters Mayumi to herself. Something isn't right here, i get the nagging sensation that the stag isn't actually talking and something else is playing with us. Looking around much more thoroughly, Mayumi questions the stag, "What is your purpose here in our path? Are you trying to delay us for some nefarious purpose?!"
GM Stuff:
"I'm not well versed in monster lore, I just shoot things that are threats or the commander points out. These do look like the creatures that Yuln warned us about, but these weren't that much of a threat. Maybe there is more of them? Or maybe a different kind..."explains Mayumi. She walks up to the one she shot and nudges it with the toe of her boot, "this one doesn't seem like it will be talking again." Was I supposed to take it easy? Take prisoners? Hmm... Back in Varisia nobody wanted monsters alive, they only wanted ears or other appropriate parts as proof of kill... Looking around the clearing, she notices Faux acquire a crossbow. Her face breaks into a smile and she speaks to Faux, "If you need any training with that, let me know. I am an expert with crossbows and we can spend some time off in the woods practicing together. Well, after we rescue the damsel in distress, of course..."
Round 2; Iniative 22
"The groups of three aren't real! Those are just a distraction! Attack that one that just color sprayed us!" shouts Mayumi after realizing that there is only one real target left. She then fires a shot at the real sprite to the north, missing horribly.
Round 1; Init 22 [b]"These must be poor Yuln's attackers! Get them!" shouts Mayumi as she steps over a bit to get a clear shot with her crossbow. Taking aim at creature #12, she takes a deep breath, holds it and gently squeezes the trigger.
With the trap successfully disabled, Mayumi approaches the chest carefully, crossbow aimed and ready. "What's in the box?"
"Is there anything in particular we are looking for?" questions Mayumi as she also begins to look around the massacre site.
"The joy of risking oneself to do the right thing, and surviving to tell about it!" explains Mayumi. She then plops down and removes the bolt case from her crossbow and then adds another bolt into it. Then hooks it all back up again. Suddenly realizing that she hasn't introduced herself to the pretty half-orc, she stands abruptly, "Hey there Valgor, I'm Mayumi, professional monster hunter, and we are on a...With a quick look at Faux "a quest to rescue a damsel in distress, the Lady Argentea" Why all the handsome tall men? I prefer them a little more stout and with many many scars to show how tough they are...
"Oh those poor men! Let's release them from this horrible fate."mumbles Mayumi. Nothing worse then undead creatures. Better to put them down than allow that suffering to continue on. Mayumi takes careful aim with her crossbow at the second zombie, and squeezes the trigger.
"Oh yeah! That's a zombie, piercing weapons don't really bother them!"
"Sir Faux! What is making that thumping noise? If it's regular people why aren't they calling out?!"queries Mayumi. She unslings her crossbow and moves to a good position to fire upon anything hostile in the carriage. Brash! I like him! Though I wonder what he looks like under that helm. Does he have a luxurious beard to run fingers through? Oh wait, concentrate on the mission.
exclaims Mayumi. Wow! That's a massive amount of money to just throw away... I should really convince him that giving money to pretty girls is the best way to handle that in the future... "Horses don't like me. Do we have to ride them?" simpers Mayumi. "It'll take less than an hour to walk there." Looking around at the group,"If Zephyr and I start running now, you fellows can get supplies and meet us at the ambush site!" Mayumi unshoulders her backpack and with a curtsy, holds it out to Faux,"My pack however doesn't bother the horses."
Mayumi grips the sword and swings it about, very poorly. It is obviously to heavy for her. She straps it to her hip however and with a bow, exclaims in a strong Dwarvish accent,"Sir Yuln Oerstag! I will avenge thee and your fellows, and slay many a monster til our blood sings with the carnage!!!"
Quickly springing over to the table, Mayumi grabs the mug and places it into Yuln's hands. Then she asks, "These cold fey must be fearsome creatures indeed, to harm such a warrior as yourself! We must face these winter-touched? to rescue the Lady, what can you tell us about them to make them easier to defeat?"
"Ooo! Sir Faux, you demand a quest and it seeks you out! You must be destined for greatness!"squeals Mayumi with delight, clapping her hands together. Finally, something other than boring taverns and dusty roads and its important too!. Turning quickly to the well cravated young man,"Yes. I am very interested in matters of great importance, especially if I can fill something full of crossbow bolts!" Pausing a moment, as a thought hits her,"Though other sort of investigations could be fun as well..."
With a haughty stare, that is almost sharp enough to slice an adamantine weapon in twain, Mayumi hisses at the gnome,"Quite you!"
The shocked and now seriously blushing young woman, hastily adjusts her outfit. Then eyes the new visitor closely. Careful Mayumi, the followers of Shelyn have silvery tongues. With a wicked grin, she mumbles,"and know how to use them." Bowing slightly to Zypher, "Greetings, I am Mayumi Sasaki. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Reaching out to shake Faux's hand, "Mayumi Sasaki, Monster Hunter. I'm no lady, but I'm pleased to make your acquaintance Sir Faux. The Errant?" She also attempts to make eye contact through the openings in Faux's helmet. He is a strange one. I don't think I've ever seen anyone sip beer through a straw. "My good sir, don't you find this weather particularly warm for such heavy armor?" questions Mayumi. She shifts her body to display just a bit more of her womanly assets, coming dangerously close of falling out of her armor all together. He might be a dwarf under all that metal. They seem to live in their armor up north...
Interesting?! Mayumi looks up from her overly warm beer, and with intense eyes, looks Faux and Hazé up and down. What is that idiot doing wearing that much metal armor in this weather? The elf is sort of cute... Maybe I ought to talk to them. With a quick gulp of her beer, she abruptly stands up and approaches the table. "Mind if I join you gentleman? This town is boring as dwarven silvermine with no silver, and I might have overheard that you are planning for interesting." says Mayumi, attempting to put a bit of pout and more than a little sultry in her voice.
"So this is Heldren."exclaims Mayumi Sasaki, reaching to her full height with arms outstretched. The young woman has just arrived in town from the north, having spent the last week walking from Oppara. The dust of the road coats her tight studded leather armor, which she has open to a nearly indecent level. The crossbow attached to her pack and the bolt case on her hip, show regular use. I wonder what there is to do here other than sleep. They don't even have a bounty board. That looks to be the tavern. Mayumi heads towards the tavern, looking for if not a cool drink at least some shade.
Viskous has finally made the character.
If you really don't want the kitsune, I can easily swap to human and get an extra feat too. The rest of my Monster Hunting companions are resting back in Magnimar and I wanted to travel up the coast looking for interesting things to do. Maybe get a shot at the Sandpoint devil. After resupplying in Sandpoint, I heard about a group of heroes heading up to Thistletop to wipe out a bunch of goblins that had led an attack on the town. Nothing's more fun than skewering a bunch of goblins. I imagine climbing up the sea side of Thistletop to join the adventurer's up by the fort. Hearing the sound of battle, Mayumi rushes across the island toward the scary rope bridge. |
