Meraina stands open jawed at the sight of the dragon. She quickly scrambles onto its back when the offer is made, stammering something incomprehensible. She barely seems to hear Kiluiks question, what, yes, of course dear she says totally oblivious to what he said as she wraps her arms around his waist and holds on tight.
Meraina launches another feeble ball of acid at the horrible thing.
I'm, i'm sorry but I don't have much magic left she stammers.
Meraina runs up over to Brialla and gives her a quick grin, this is awful but a little bit exciting she stutters as she conjures as small ball of acid which she throws at the ettin.
Meraina shrieks in alarm and sends another magic missile at the enemy. force damage
Meraina raises one trembling hand, No, we will stop you she stutters before sending a glowing green pixie at it. She promptly ducks behind the corner out of sight.
Meraina enters the cave cautiously. Err, granny always said to go left in places like this so you can always find your way back. She had a bit of a past I think but she would never talk much about it. We should take care too, places like this might be unstable or anything.
Meraina giggles at being called a "lady"
Meraiana smiles at Kiluik, I wasn't frightened, just a little startled is all. she says although not very convincingly. At the entrance to the cave she peers inside, Ooh, that's dark, and stinky. I might be able to help with that she says as she conjures a ball of soft blue light on the crossbow she pulls from her back. I'm not very good with this but dad said if I was going to go running off into the wilds then I needed something to protect myself. Then again, dad thinks anywhere beyond the town walls the wilds,.
Meraiana mutters a detect magic cantrip and examines the items.
The potions look to be cure light wounds but the scroll looks like scorching ray. Hmm, they could come in handy. We should probably each take a potion. No idea about the scroll sadly.
Err, aren't ettins like really really dangerous? asks Meraina looking rather worried.
Meraina will intervene, Kiliuk, its a potion, they are for drinking not smearing. When he threatens to break Richelle's teeth she blanches a little. What's this thing in the cave, you had better be honest with us and maybe we can put in a good word for you when we get you back to town but you have upset a lot of people.
After they have finished talking to the prisoners Meraina will stick her head into the shack to see if there is anything in there.
As the battle subsides Meraina comes running forward to make sure everyone is all right. She pushes a potion into Kiluiks hands, Here, take this, it will help heal your wounds.
She turns on Richelle, looking furious. What the hell were you doing she shouts, stomping towards her fists clenched. You could have killed someone and for what, a silly shiny amulet! Why did you do this and where is the amulet you stole!
When her anger has subsided she will check out what they were carrying.
Kiliuk, there's some more healing potions here if you need them. I don't know what this other thing is, she looks over to Richelle, do you?
Meraina gasps as the strange devil man drops with an arrow in him. Noooo, today was going so well until all...this Trembling she raises a hand and sends a second glowing green pixie at the archer. Just stop it and lets try and talk about this. No-one has to die!!!! force damage
Meraina screams as the arrow lodges in Kiluiks back. What are you doing you monsters! she shouts. She runs forward tears pouring down her face and throws herself down into the cover of the rocks. Trembling she tries to focus her mind on the lessons her grandmother taught her, breathe little one, focus on the moment, let go of everything else and just breathe... She dashes the tears from her cheeks and holds herself together, just as grandmother taught her. The tight, burning sensation builds in her chest and her arm shoots up, pointing at the archer. Her hand opens and from it a tiny, green pixie leaps forward, straight at him. It flies unerringly at the villain, looping and spinning as it goes and crashes right into his chest, vanishing in a puff of faerie dust.
Meraina giggles at Kiliuks comment. I have some magic to use, somewhere in my family's past there is the blood of fey and it came out in me. It was all very confusing when I was younger and things would happen about the house no-one could explain but now I have a lot more control over things. It was, difficult, for a while but granny was really supportive. She helped me learn how to control what I can do. The ring was hers so, well, I wanted to do something nice for her. As they reach the shack Meraina heads over to the camp site. They might have stayed here she says poking around the remnants. Can anyone tell anything from this?
Ooh, that sounds interesting. Before we go can you tell us what the Brightblooms are? Mayor, can you tell us any more about these people causing so much trouble?
While talking to the Mayor Oh, they must have don something terrible to be barred from the festival. Will it be safe to talk to them? What did they do?
As people begin to panic Meraina starts to look worried and subconsciously moves behind Kiliuk. Peering around him she spots Aurelliax in her human form and her eyes go about as wide as humanly possible. Err, err, ma'am, are you really a dragon? I mean, I've never seen a dragon before and it would be wonderful if we.... she trails off mumbling sorry, didn't mean to be rude As the story comes out Meraina straightens up. Of course we will help, I am sure we can get your amulet back and teach these bullies that they can't go round robbing people. Who are they?
Hehe, you are very silly, that isn't how babies are made. Meraina gently digs him in the ribs and links their arms together again.
Meraina laughs at Kiliuks panic, Don't be so silly!
Oh, we are having a lovely time thank you but you have your very own dragon? That is amazing, can you tell us more about Aurelliax?
Meraina links her arm through Kiliuk's, Yes, lets go!
Meraina stops on her way to the food truck and looks at Kiliuk, but, that, that's so very sweet of you!, she grabs him in an enormous hug for such a tiny girl and promptly bursts into tears. Drying her eyes she mumbles, sorry about that, its just, well, that's so incredibly kind. What can I do to help you? As they head towards the food trucks she smiles at Torgens comment, I am sure we are going to be the best of friends, I really would like to get him something, I am sure he is so very sweet under that gruff exterior, maybe a nice bright wooly hat to fit over his helmet. I wonder if there's anyone in town who could make one. To the food vendor she squeals in delight, Ooh, funnel cake please, I am sure it is delicious.
Lets go get some food says Meraina as she starts heading towards the food stalls.
Meraina is fair bursting with excitement. Yes, of course we can describe it, it was very precious to granny. It was made of white gold, carved in the form of a tiny dragon clutching a small ruby in its claws. It was quite beautiful really..., her voice trails off a little wistfully.
Meraina will happily take the lead, working one of the puppets making it jump about the stage as she starts ad lobbing some extra lines.
Meraina comes up behind the others having been totally distracted by all the entertainments. You mean we could be part of the show too! That would be brilliant! She is literally hopping up and down with excitement.
Meraina is bouncing up and down, Oh, oh, thanks very much, I hope I can find this Carth
Meraina struggles into one of the sacks, pulling it tight around her. Come on Torgen, you never know, you might actually enjoy yourself and perhaps even crack a smile she says with a twinkle in her eye. Lining up she jumps forward, whooping as she goes, encouraging on everyone.
Meraina's eyes light up at the many different activities. Torgen, don't be such a spoilsport she giggles, let's try the sack race she shouts skipping over there.
Meraina greedily spoons up the last of the stew, running a crust of bread around the bowl to slurp up the dregs. Now, now, none of us can help where we came from, what matters is where we are going. For me, I'm here looking for a jeweller, one who did some work for my family some time ago. Hopefully they can make another copy of a special family signet ring. Who know, we might find some excitement while we are here too.
Meraina tucks into her food, mm, finally, something hot and tasty, better than trail rations. People weren't supposed to live on dry tack! She pauses in the midst of gobbling and looks around slightly embarrassed. So, what brings you all to this little town? Just passing through to somewhere more exciting?
