Nasir contiunes moving as close as he can within striking range of a Pugwampis
Nasir contiunes to climb up the ladder so he can get within striking distance of any Pugwampis.
Knowing hes not much good in a ranged fight, Nasir hunkers down and wait till something comes to attack him.
”Where is it Shiiru?!” Nasir shouts as he watches Shiiru fire a ray toward what he assumes is a Pugwampis based on the feeling.
Nasir whispers to Shiiru behind him, ”Something that can kill gnolls, either a friend or an enemy, but has to be dangerous. Be on guard. I’ll draw whatever it is out. ”Should we all move in together? If we do I will certainly attract the attention of whatever is in their. Upon seeing Viridi walk straight in to the monastery Nasir will walk in as well. Knowing that he is useless at sneaking, Nasir pauses a moment to allow everyone else to hide themselves before walking in to middle of the monastery.
Nasir will heft his greataxe in both hands ready to fight whatever comes out.
Lol, we never had a party leader. I always thought that Thom or Amori would have made decent leaders. Like I said, my vote and without someone else stepping in, I think Nasir would just walk in and draw out whatever is in there, hopefully its not a lot of things lol. But I’ll wait to see what the team decides.

What are we thinking team? Explore this steathily or draw whatever this thing (things?) is out into the open? Nasir is no good at stealth, so I’m ready to be the bait if we all want to wail on whatever comes out haha. Got a post all ready to go if we decide with that plan.
Inching his way to the northern most entrance, Nasir peeks in from behind the north pillar to see if he can see anything inside the monastery.
Upon arriving at the monastery Nasir is taken aback by its size, but only for a moment before sighing, ”It’s always a shame when something beautiful is destroyed. I can not stand by while the evil in this world corrupts things like this church, like the people of Katapesh, like my tribe. Lets find whatever is living here and redeem this place.” Nasir takes off the giant greataxe from his back and looks around to see if he can find any tracks or footprints that would give any indication to what currently resides, if anything, in the monastery.
Thats what I get for posting on the baby/homework no sleep plan lol. For some reason I thought we had horses from the caravan but maybe not.
Atop his horse, Nasir looks every bit the Kelesh nomad,” Aye, the church is just a place to rest before we move on to Kelemarane. For its there the real danger lies, you’ve ever fought a gnoll Pular? Nasty creatures, ask Fulk he’ll say the same thing. If we ever do get to Kelemarane, you’ll be happy to have this slab of beef smashing their heads.” Nasir gives a wry smile back at Arian. ”No the sooner we clear out this temple the closer we are to Kelemarane.”
Bedding down for the night, Nasir tosses and turns, having trouble falling asleep. All he sees in his mind is the charred remains of the fortune teller’s wagon, his burned body lying there motionless before his body is replaced by the burned bodies of his tribe, the same charred look the same motionless expressions. He wakes up in the morning with a jolt and in a cold sweat. Taking a moment for himself, he wanders to water barrel and splashes himself in the face. Nasir is relatively quiet at the beginning of the morning but perks up when Shiiru mentions the church, ”Wait? What? We’re clearing out a church,” before chuckling, ”Well that would explain why you told me to make sure I’m alright with the gods before sleeping last night.” ”Yes Shiiru, these are two were also hired by Lady Almah, although whether they are helping us clear the church out I do not know. This is Arian and Pular just introduced herself. We are excited that you will be joining us, since we have so much time on the road why dont you fill us in on how you came to the Lady Almah’s caravan?”
”Well I believe we have killed the creature responsible for the fire yesterday, so hopefully there will be no more freak accidents. It was a pleasure helping you Hadrod! I must go find my friends and see if the Lady Almah asked anything else of us. Maybe some day you can show me how you work with your animals, my tribe had many horses around but I could never quiet get the hang of it.” He stops and pats the man on the shoulder, a little too hard for someone so much smaller than Nasir, before giving a giant smile and making his way back to the tent he sees his friends just coming out. ”Well what did Lady Almah say? Did you run into a woman and rat on your way out by any chance? They both said they were looking for the Lady.”
Outside the Tent:
”Aye, Lady Arian. My companions and I have just finished a favor for the master of the caravan, Lady Almah, who as may know travels with this caravan as a merchant princess. Don’t ask me what that means, I only swing my sword where her highness points.” Nasir is momentarily stopped in his tracks when the short robed individual walks up, ”And what are you doing here little girl?” before catching a glimpse of her whiskers and tail protruding from the robes he stops when she requests the directions to Lady Almah. [b}”Excuse me Miss......I thought you were a tiny child. Apologies. Yes the Lady is in here. My friends should be in there if you go inside, I need to go return this goat! Find me later and I would be honored to hear both of your stories and how you have survived making your way to us. The desert is easy place to survive.”[/b] Hadrod and Hadrah: Nasir then makes his way away from Arian and returns to the goat to Hadrod and Hadrah. ”Well here’s your goat back! Quiet a bit of trouble getting it to. How fared the caravan while we were gone?”
Arian and DM: Seeing another Keleshite ”AH! Another native! Welcome,” He bows in a sarcastic manner, ”To Lady’s Almah’s caravan. Yes, that is the Grand Lady’s tent, but be careful she’s in one of her moods. Or maybe my friend here offput her.” He gestures to the still bleating goat on his back, letting loose a hearty chuckle as he does so. ”But what is your busy with the Lady? I don’t believe I’ve seen you around the camp, what is your name?”.
”Aye, Well saiid friend Shiiru, I do not think I am smart enough to make the same obersations you did!” Nasir bellows, ”And we made a new friend as well! This is Rombard, Hardrod and Hadrah’s animal. Is there anything else you want to say to us, otherwise I would very much like to return this goat.” Nasir beings shouting over the goat bleating on his back.
Breathing heavy as he finally pulls himself up from canyon, Nasir looks at the dead Pugwampis on the ground with a single arrow in its chest. ”Fulk! Good job! Ha ha! What an amazing feat of strength, I am happy to be fighting alongside of someone with your skill.” Nasir chuckles to himself as he looks at the bleating goat and sighs,”Well at least we saved the goat, Shiiru since you took the Pugwampis I will carry this goat back. Come let us present Lady Almah her prize and return the goat as well.”
Fine with me too!
Thomdrill secures the shoufa around his mouth and pulls both daggers out of their sheathes.
Amori takes out his bow and notches an arrow and pauses before firing at whatever flew at the goat. [i]
Amori then lowers the notched arrow and begins singing a song, using one of his Inspire Courage. Inspire Courage:
+1 on Fear and Charm effects +1 on attack and damage rolls
”ALMOST THERE FRIEND!” Nasir shouts at Shiiru once he sees the Slyph’s head poke from behind the cliff’s edge.
”I thank you Shiiru!”. Nasir grabs the rope and beings pulling himself up again.
Landing back on the cactus Nasir lets out another pained grunt. ”Good try, I think I may see if there is another way out other than climbing up this blasted cliff side.” Nasir then looks to the left and right to see if he can find another way out of the canyon and back up to his friends.
Nasir is still here! Waiting to see if anybody can help Nasir get out of this prickly cactus.
”Thank you my friends!” Nasir shouts from the ravine, chuckling to himself, ”I am quiet embarrassed!” He grasps the rope with a grunt and begins pulling himself up.
”WOAH! What are you doing?!,” Nasir shouts at the goat as it starts bucking around him. ”Stop that! You’re gonna....AHHHH. Ow. Stupid goat. Does anyone have a rope, I am not sure I can climb up this cliff in my armor.”
”Lets see if we can get these ropes off you goat. I do not see anything either Shiiru, maybe we are in the clear, yes?”
”Here let me help untie it,” Nasir speaks to Viridi. ”You are very good animals do you know that? Are you sure you did not grow up here in the wilderness?”. Letting out a low chuckle, Nasir beings untying the notes of the rope. Once the ropes are untied, Nasir, hoists the goat on his back.
”Nobody get too close to that edge here,” Nasir shouts staring off of the edge at the large cactus looming under them, ”It would not be well for anyone.” Nasir stands close to the goat near the edge, preparing himself for any trouble by pulling his greataxe out, he’ll make sure that no one else gets too close to the edge and fall victim to any Pugwampis jokes.
Coming out of the forest of cactus covered in tiny little spines, Nasir grunts and starts picking them off of his skin. ”Ow, blasted cactus. Shhh......quiet goat. It’s alright, we’re here to take you back.” Nasir knows he wont be any good with the animal, so he pulls out his greataxe and readies himself to any danger.
”So that is the goat we are looking for, yes? Well let us get it and return it!” Nasir goes running toward Rombard.
Nasir turns around as Shiiru stops him and comes back to the group and walks with them ”Thank you friend. I am sorry, sometimes I lose control when someone needs saving, especially when it sounds like a child could be in danger.
”Quick there’s a young one in trouble!” and Nasir runs off into the twilight with his torch in the direction of the sound of the child.
Nasir pulls outs a torch from his pack as well.”You and I both Thomdrill” as he lights his own torch.
At dawn Nasir wakes up with a loud yawn and stretches wildly in the air.”Good morning friends, shall we find our weasel?” Nasir makes his way to the wagon and waits for Dashki to arrive. ”I hope that we find evidence of this Pugwampis today. I am ready to be done with this sordid event and continue our travels to Kelamarane. Did everyone sleep fine? Especially those of you new to the desert, you will want to make sure that your mouth is covered at night, it can get quiet windy.”
”Fine. See you in the morning.” Nasir stares at Dashki before huffing and turning off to bed for the night.
Outside of the tent Nasir speaks up ”Well that could have gone better. But W\why does it still feel like they are holding out on us?” He says not paying any attention to the weasely man that came out with them. ”I supposed we should find evidence of this Pugwampis. Does anyone know anything about them? Would we find it easier to track and catch them unaware at night? If so I vote we find them now, otherwise we should wait till morning.”
Nasir straightens his posture and takes a step forward. ”Thomdrill, slow. Although Lady Almah my friend is correct, both Dashki and to similar extent Garavel have prevented us from investigating this manner. We will go and find this Pugwamis with the help of Dashki but in the future, not withholding information will help us get to the bottom of this faster.” And Nasir walks out of the wagon to prepare for the hunt.
”Garavel, you have the worst timing.” Nasir looks up from the ground looking for goat tracks with the others. ”But yes, we have discovered much through our investigation.” Nasir stands up and gives his companions a worried look. When Nasir hears that Dashki is coming along, he whispers to whoever is next to him so that Garavel and Dashki can’t hear him, most likely Thomdrill and Amori ”Do you think Garavel believes Dashki did it? Do we really have evidence that Pugwamis did other than Dashki’s word?” He silently moves into the tent next to the wagon, but stands toward the back. ”Lady Almah, thank you for giving us appropriate time to investigate this issue. We will present the evidence for you to examine as well. We have discovered that the while normally Dashki hangs around with the mercenaries he was suspiciously absent right before the fire.” He than looks around the room waiting for everyone else to present their evidence.
”We are looking for the goat now?” Nasir looks around confused. ”We think that this Pugwamis stole the goat in the confusion? You are the intelligent ones not me. Part of me hopes that this Pugwamis doesn’t exist, I want to make good on the promise I made to Dashki if hes lying to us.” Nasir looks at Thomdrill and grins a wide smile. ”But for now lets find this Pugwamis, let me see if I can pick up those goat’s tracks.” Nasir heads over to where the rest of the animals escaped from. He bends down and picks up some sand, giving it a sniff.
[occ] Oh geez guys I am sorry, thought my survival would net something a tad better. Maybe Fulk can take a swing at it.[/ooc]
”I spoke to the mercenaries, the only interesting thing they told me was that Dashki normally hangs around them but for some reason wasn’t right before the fire started. Other than that they didn’t seem to know anything. Unless Dashki was lying to us, everything points to this being an accident. Maybe we should hunt down this Pugwamis and teach it and all of its kind that they do not want to mess with us.” Nasir plops down on the sand, and stares up at his comrades. ”I am sorry that I am only a little help when it comes to matters such as this. Rest assured, when there is a Pugwamis, Gnoll, or some other creature at your back, you will see the might of the Albashar tribe.”
