Sami Dareah's page

Sami will let the others know that Zastoran is most likely innocent. His story seemed legitimate and she got the impression he wasn't the type of person to commit a crime like that.

Sami is a bit surprised as Marossa speaks up, but she breaks into a giggle as the conversation continues. Marossa had been so quiet this entire time it brought a bit of joy to see her so engaged in conversation.

"Well I'm going to go talk with the others. Why don't you two discuss things that are far above someone of my low class."

With that the Samsaran gives a small waving motion with her hand before heading off towards the rest of her traveling companions. Maybe their inquiries had been more successful then her own.

Sami mulls over Zastoran's response for a second. Thinking it over in her head it seemed reasonable enough. She was a bit surprised he had a shelf to knock over, but she also wasn't familiar with caravans either. Looking to validate his story, the girl pays special attention hoping to look for any hesitation in the man's response to her next question.

"I read a bit as well on my travels. Do you mind if I ask what book it was you were read, and if you would recommend it?"

Sami smiles gently at the man's response. He seemed rather agreeable, but that didn't stop her suspicion from bleeding through.

"So can you tell us what you were doing when the fire started?"

The girl continues her smile as she says this, but her eyes show a clear attention to detail.

Was trying to give Marossa a chance to post, but guess I'll just go ahead.

Sami heads off with Marossa to track down Zastoran. Finding him digging through some wares the girl calls out to him as she approaches.

"Hey!"

She lets out her greeting as she waves her hand courteously.

"Mind if we ask you a few questions about what happened?"

Sami gives Thurrios a disapproving look at his "bad plan" comment. Maybe he didn't mean it in an insulting manner, but that was how it came off. Regardless she stops herself from picking a fight. Now wasn't the time nor place.

"Amada."

She says, falling back on her Elvish. After that she looks over to Marossa.

"That's get going. I'd prefer not to sleep without knowing if I'm going to wake up to the smell smoke and sight of flame."

Sami smiles at Marossa as she eyes her nervousness. She wasn't sure what her life had been like as a slave, but certainly she was nervous about speaking up. Standing up a bit straighter the woman speaks up again.

"Why don't Marossa and I go speak to Zastoran and then you three can go speak to the mercenary group. Maybe we can figure something out."

Sami thinks over what Thurrios said.

"I can hold my own in a fight, but I'm not afraid to speak up either."

Haven't slept in over 24 hours. -_- sorry for the delay have been busy

"I would like to suggest we investigate in pairs. I don't think it would be safe to do so alone if the killer could still be about the camp."

Sami speaks up and looks around at her comrades. She would pretty much do with anyone other then Khasra. She wasn't much one to hold a grudge, but she certainly needed some more time before she could deal with his temperament once more.

Sami lets out an audible sigh as the whole situation is explained. She wasn't one who had knowledge in matters such as this nor was she one who enjoyed such things. Mulling the situation over in her head as it's explained she silently thinks until more speech interrupts her thought. Quietly she pains as Khatijah's status is once again pointed out. There wasn't much she could do at the moment, but the presence of such things left a bad taste in her mouth.

"Do you mind if I inquire as to why you had an astrologer here? It seems like an odd person for anyone to want dead."

Finishing her statement Sami goes back to her thoughts. Desna had brought her here for a reason and would figure out why.

Sami looks somberly at the burning ashes and takes a few steps away from the source of the wretched smell.

"Smells like incense, though it's hard to tell with everything burning. The elders back in my home village used to have me burn them because of my divine connection."

Thinking of the fact, Sami walks back over to the wagon and does a few gestures. Speaking a short prayer to Desna in Elven she claps her hands as she finishes. Maybe this wasn't the way they were meant to be used, but at least they wouldn't go completely to waste.

After finishing up her prayer the girl makes her way towards Garavel as he calls out to the group. His voice gave her the impression this wasn't just an accidental fire.

I'm still around. Just not much of anything for me to add until some of the others post. :)

Sami gives the old man a warm smile as he speaks. She was just glad that she could be of help. Standing up she looks over to Marossa before speaking to the man.

"I'm just glad we could be of help."

After that the girl reaches onto her side and pulls out the small amount of wine she had left. Opening up the waterskin she takes a big gulp before tossing it over towards Marossa.

"Drink up you deserve it! Oh and call me Sami. A title like mistress is way to haughty for a lonely traveler such as myself."

Was a long day for me today. Just finally got home.

Looking upon the scene Sami hops off her camel almost immediately. Ignoring the fire, wagon, and everything else she rushes immediately towards the injured innocents. Taking a deep breath she tries to relax herself before getting to work trying her best to save lives.

"I will do everything I can to help."

Sami speaks to the old man with the glass bottles before attending to the wounded. Looking around, she looks to heal those who have the most grievous wounds first.

Sami will try to help the injured. She has one use of the stabilize spell from her Samsaran spells. She will target the most injured first using first aid, followed by her stabilize if that doesn't work, and followed by her bloodletting ritual (life's blood feat) if that doesn't work. I will roll a perception to find the most injured then throw out a couple of rolls in a spoiler though I don't expect you to need them all. Just let me know how much damage I end up taking from bloodletting if it's needed. :)

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

As the conversation continues Sami readies herself to continue her assault of words on Khasra only to be stopped by everyone else pitching in. Everything seemed to be working itself and as such her words became less and less necessary. A bit disappointed she turns a wide smile back over Marossa as everyone compliments her singing. Riding her camel next to the girl's she reaches an arm over around her shoulder. She wasn't going to miss out on a chance to have a good time.

"Aye it was so good why don't you sing us another tell? I'll sing with you this time if you'd like!"

Letting out some encouraging words the Samsaran's face fills bright with excitement. Almost as that of a small child begging her parents for a tell. Removing her arm from Marossa Sami reaches into her camel's saddle bags and pulls out a small water skin. Holding out her arm towards the girl she once again speaks up.

"There's not much left, but if you sing well I'll let you have some of my wine."

However you feel. I probably won't be able to post again till later tonight. I will be able to check, but can't much type on a phone. D: At least not up to acceptable standards.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 nope :)

Sami quieted at Khatijah's words. She wasn't quite sure she had an answer. Slavery to her was such a foreign concept, yet in all rights she was in some ways a slave herself. Not to a single man, but to all of those who had such great expectations of her.

"My apologies. May Desna bring your liberation."

As the girl spoke she wondered if her words were inappropriate for the portion of the world where she was. Yet at the same time she couldn't help but feel a cringe in her heart. Shouldn't all people be allowed to chose their own fate? Why would Desna allow such suffering to continue? She couldn't be sure, but a quiet song in her ears broke the thought.

"A beautiful song indeed."

Sami spoke in response to Thurrios's comment. Though when Khasra spoke up she couldn't help, but give retort.

"He was but making a comment on the beauty of Marossa's voice. Indeed her voice is only matched by her astounding looks. I would suggest you apologize for inadvertently insulting either. Women don't take kindly to such things."

Sami smiled brightly at Thurrios's response. She got the impression he was a pretty agreeable man. Turning back around she began to fasten her starknife back into place as she heard Khatijah speak up. After listening to the woman's words she gave a wry smile and responded.

"Excuse me if I get a bit preachy here, but I would like to respectfully disagree. In one of my past lives I was a member of a team of field medics. No magic or anything, but we did our best to save the lives of our comrades. One day I asked my commanding officer why we patched wounds instead of fought on the front line. He quoted a poem to me which went something along the lines of this.

I enjoy my freedom and you should as well. Desna guides us onwards to experience our lives as we see fit. But if I see a life that I can save then I know where her winds guide me. For if I don't step forward then I will be left with the sounds of the bells resounding through my ears."

As Sami finished her speech she caught herself perhaps diminishing the mood more than she should have. Having lost herself temporarily in thought she snapped back returning to her usual demeanor. Putting on a bright smile she spoke up once again.

"Sorry for that I guess I just got caught up in the moment a bit too much there. Why don't we get back to talking about killing us some gnolls?"

Sitting atop a camel side saddle Sami's looks seem to stick out in juxtaposition of the barren and dead desert. A young girl, looking about sixteen or seventeen by human standards she has full blue skin and long lush green hair. For clothes she wears rather appropriate clothes for the heat, though notably she wears a dress in spite of the current traveling conditions. Finally on her face sits a discoloration in the shape of a butterfly only calling even more attention to her bright expression.

Probably one of the more social members of the Garavel's troop Sami has worked rather hard to make herself known over the past few days of travel. Constantly engaging in conversation and social activity, participating in drinks and games, and lastly spreading tells of her travels the Samsaran has made her presence rather unavoidable at the camp. More then once she had jumped into conversations she had more then likely not been welcome, yet somehow she always came out on positive terms with those around her. Having made such a reputation for herself the social addict wasn't about to miss another chance at her normal activity.

Mushing her camel onwards the young warrior looks over to the two men with a delightful gaze.

"What's wrong? Scared of a few gnolls?"

Sami interjects into the conversation with a hint of Elvish accent in her speech. Reaching back onto her camel she pulls out of her two starknives that she carries with her.

"Don't worry if things get rough I will protect you."

Flexing her arms at first sight of the girl's muscles her words seem to be somewhat unbelievable.

With no true healer, I notice the Bard has CLW at 1st level. Should I take it as well?

I have ranks in heal. Also my blood has healing properties if I'm not too beat up myself.

edit: I realized my name wasn't spelled the way I intended it to be pronounced. I hope no one minds if I add an H.

1.) I think keeping it secret is probably the best way to go, but it's up to you.

2.)It's completely up to you. There's benefits to keeping things secret and negatives as well. I think it's probably up to your preference as a DM.

3.) I think this would be good to speed things up. :)

4.) I think any order is fine to speed things up though this might require a bit of back tracking if people end up colliding with one and other. I would be happy with it either way to be honest.

5.) I've come to prefer leveling up at loose times chosen by the DM, but if everyone else prefers experience points I wouldn't have any qualms with it.

Thanks for running you're awesome! :D

you closing recruitment sunday morning or sunday night? I'm putting on finishing touches on my character.

It occurs to me that I did not note exactly when recruitment will close on Sunday. I get home from work sometime around 6:00 PM (EST), so I figure I will end it there. Assuming my math skills have not failed me, that is about 45 hours from now. As a chronic...

Hopefully that answers your questions :)

Presenting Sami for review. She is a Barbarian Samsaran who is trying to balance her current self with her past lives. I imagine her rage more as losing herself to memories of her past selves more than anything else. She's actually very well tempered when not in the thick of combat.

If we play long enough she will probably end up multi-classing into spherewalker at level 6 as she tries to come to terms with her connection to Desna.
