Oh, want to mark this campaign as inactive?

Too bad, but understandable. Good luck with everything! Let me know if you find time to run something sometime.
Ouch! Hopefully you find a solution to that problem soon.
You don't say. XD
We'd had some other people in the original recruitment who'd been interested in joining later, right?
*I* would like to continue, but then again I haven't even gotten my familiar yet. ;)
Glad to see you back! Hopefull life will quiet down for you after the holiday season. Or even during it. :D
Thanks for letting us know! Hope all goes well for him!
The group had caught Isamu in the middle of sucking on one of the healing drops, which was part of why he'd remained quiet. Now that he was feeling a bit more himself, he gives a bow at Lily's introduction. "Indeed. We might also ask if we could rest for a night somewhere safer. As you might be able to tell," he flashes a pained grin, "We've just been tangling with that ancient hunger, and it got a few bites before it went down."
Isamu smiles weakly at Trin. "Yes, let's keep moving."
He sighs slightly as they near the ruin. "I suppose that's our destination for now. Anyone know more about who we'll meet there?"
"I was rather thinking of taking up bird-hunting now," Isamu mutters.
Isamu, too injured and exhausted to react in time, lands directly on his face. He just lays there for a momemnt, before mumbling, "Ow."
"Yes, and unless you'd like us to start using you for target practice, I suggest you stop trying to sic demons on us," Isamu states, standing up unsteadily. He draws his rapier and jabs it at the air, ready to flip over and try to land on his feet if the maneuver works.
Isamu continues quietly laying on the roof of the bridge, waiting for the gangles to leave before trying to get down.
Awwww, feel better soon!
Isamu looks at the gangles, considers his own state, and decides not to draw attention to himself on the roof of the bridge.
Isamu is quiet for a moment, shuddering at the sight. Once he's collected himself, he suggests, "Ah... someone should get... the donkey."
"Make sure... he stays down!" Isamu gasps out from the roof of the bridge. He starts cautiously crawling to the edge, curiously testing if going off the end of the bridge will send him sailing upwards or let him back down by sticking one hand out beyond the edge.
Isamu desperately tries to parry the claw.
He comes to (barely), when Rex heals him. Isamu hands the dagger over to Rex. "Throw it," he mumbles, still only half-conscious.
Isamu will actually become a decent DPS at next level, as he'll get Fencing Grace which will allow him to apply his Dex to damage, and he'll start getting smite. He'll get even better at fifth level when he gets Precise Strike like a Swashbuckler. He just doesn't do much damage now. :D
Is it just me or is Rex the only one with a plus on his damage roll in our party? XD
Isamu doesn't taunt the demon this time. He tries to stab Old Wolf again, but is too distracted by his concern for Rex to land a solid hit.
"You're only just now noticing, old smoke-belly?"
Isamu snarls back at the demon and leaps back towards the briefly-vulnerable (he hopes) creature.
This time his leap is straight and true, his dagger aimed directly at his mark. He strikes and then recovers swiftly, flipping in the air to land on his feet behind Old Wolf, falling into a guarded stance as he lands.
"Well thank you for telling us we need to bother with the special metal," Isamu says with a manic grin. He steps forward and then jumps, slashing with his dagger to trigger the gravity effect as he does, then aiming it at Old Wolf.
He twist around, trying to land on the roof behind Old Wolf if possible.
Isamu felt a strange feeling wash over him and then depart. He shakes himself slightly and resumes his defensive stance. "You might want to see someone about... well, your voice, the fact that your neck looks broken... well, just about all of you, for that matter. Do they have doctors in the Abyss?"
Isamu swiftly runs to the end of the bridge, then draws the dagger again and turns. "The rest of you keep going," he says, gaze focused on the Wolf.
Isamu looks Old Wolf over, feeling strangely calm. He'd basically died once in the river, maybe that experience was why. Or maybe his subconscious just hadn't caught up yet to the fact that he was facing down a giant demon wolf. "Oh, is that what you really look like?" he says, sounding bored. He sheathes the dagger and turns. "Here I was thinking you'd be twenty feet tall or something." He starts casually walking across the bridge, desperately hoping the others would catch on and follow before Old Wolf grabbed one of them.
That's fine, family comes first!
Isamu draws Yeldrid's dagger and takes up a defensive stance, making sure not to step foot on the bridge as he does so. "I'll delay him," Isamu states. "Get Trin out of here."
Is everyone else quiet while Isamu is talking? :D Also, side note--I suspect Cappy is (based on) a Redcap, but I don't really think it would be in-character for Isamu to guess/know about that.
"And just where is the Old Wolf?" Isamu shoots back, still circling around. "If he's not right here... well, I think removing you from this world would probably be doing some good, given how you're helping to feed this demon. Maybe I could do that before he shows up?" There was something off about this whole situation. Where was the Old Wolf? Was he actually already here... perhaps possessing Cappy in some way? Cappy himself seemed odder than usual, with that gleam in his eyes. And where was Lottie? Isamu had fallen in and nearly died, but last he'd known the cat was still in a barrel, heading for wherever he'd been planning to go.
"Because eating a child is just about the worst evil of which I could conceive," Isamu answers instantly, "And I've always striven to stop evil when I find it." He starts slowly sidestepping, circling around to one side of 'Cappy'. "You know, I don't seem to recall Cappy having just that kind of difficulty speaking properly..."
Isamu's hand switches from hovering over his rapier to hovering over the dagger Yeldrid had given him. "Who did you kill?" he demands.
"It is still here," Isamu says, putting his pack back on properly. ********* Isamu slowly, cautiously begins to advance towards the bridge.
Isamu frowns at Yeldrid's question. "You know, after my unfortunate near-drowning, I haven't checked. I hope it didn't fall out of my pack..." He checks his pack for the dagger. **** Isamu stops and looks around warily as he sees the pool of blood. He keeps his sword sheathed, but his hand hovers near it.
Isamu thanks Rex and sucks on a couple drops himself. "I think we need to pick up the pace here," he comments as they reach the crossroads. "If we can get to the bridge we'll have a decent chance of escaping, from the sound of it, as long as we avoid doing any fighting on it."
Isamu is definitely going to need one. :D
I'm leveled up. Ready for Isamu's talking owl to show up and scold him for not living up to his potential. :D Did we have any of those healing drops left?
I think it'd be fun if you ran him. I can do the stats, and I was thinking an owl would be appropriate given Isamu's lunar associations, but I think it'll be more fun if I'm not talking to myself. :D
Isamu nods. "I don't think we have any questions that are more urgent than getting moving right now," he agrees.
All right, excellent! So the next question is, are you or I going to play his familiar he'll be getting?
This is when Isamu was going to start taking paladin levels. Did you ever decide if the two archetypes he wanted to take were compatible with one another?
Oh, I know--hence why I asked the time, as I would have answered differently if it were evening.
Isamu frowns slightly. "To be honest, I'd rather keep moving," he says, looking over at the others. "I don't think hiding will be advantageous to us. It'll probably just mean more gangles." |
