Singi nods in answer to the question, and moves over to the others. "What is the problem?"

Singi raises a glass to the captain and leader of the expedition. Sounds like two competent people. She watches to see if anyone is speaking with Ramona. She tries to make her way just inside of hearing without being obvious.

Singi drops her things off in her room, and heads down the lobby to people watch while waiting for the dinner to begin. She tries to get a sense of the others, who are not Pathfinders, will be joining them on the voyage. She gives slight nods to those she recognizes from the first leg of the trip.

"Thank you. I look forward to the trip, Sir Smedrik." She makes her way with a bright smile to the Shining Sea Inn.

No experience in tropical climates. I'm from the north, but I can learn. I worked on an expedition when I left home, but I wasn't in charge. I can run a smith though. Helping to run an expedition can't be that much different. Make sure everyone works to contribute, and make sure you make a profit doing it." Singi shrugs.

Singi stands tall with her hand on her work hammer. "I am Singi Stensen. I'm trained as a master smith, and looking for a new adventures. I am from the north."

That's quite the line. Should I wait or try to work my way to the front. Maybe showing some initiative will get their attention. She shrugs and starts going around the citadel to see if she can find a side or back entrance to go through.

If she locates one, she'll enter as if she belongs there. She'll then make her way to the room where people are getting checked in.

Before the Emperor's Blessing, Aria:
Singi takes the blade and examines it. She looks disappointed in the sharpness. Pulling out a whetstone she sharpens it. "It will work better now." She says as she hands it back to Aria.

Before the Emperor's Blessing, Aria:
Singi smiles when Aria arrives with her head shaved. "Looking good. I'd believe you are a monk. Let me know if you need help keeping it short. I can give hair cutting a try.

She drags all her tools to the ship. Her eyes get wide at the beauty of the Tian ship. "I wonder if the Peregrine is going to be that beautiful." She spends her days on the trip getting her sea legs, and chatting with her companions.

When they dock. She gives a nod in goodbye to everyone, and heads down the gangplank to get lost in the crowd for a while.

She asks around for a clean cheap place for a meal, and waits for a few hours before heading to the Citadel of the Supreme Elect to apply for the a place on the expedition.

Singi sighs with relief. Just be myself. I can do that. It's much better than having to keep in character. I don't like that I can't talk to my new friends. I hope at some point I can.


AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 14 +4 deflection vs. evil hp 13/13Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +0; +4 resistance vs. evil Female human (Ulfen) fighter (two-handed fighter) 1/shadows student of war 1/gestalt 1 Init +3; Senses Perception +4 Aura protective aura (10 ft.)

Singi gives Aria and Makanaky a smile and returned congratulations. Looking at the others who were chosen she tries to size the others up as they take seats in the room.

"What circumstances caused the decrease in number of available society members? I'm honored to be chosen, but am very surprised."

The wayward PC has posted. That took some thought.

First Interview:
Singi enters and takes a seat at the table. She looks very nervous as she waits for the questions to begin.

1. What kind of experience do you have studying objects and structures recovered by excavation to identify, date, and authenticate them and to interpret their significance?

”What kind of experience?” Sinji looks a little nervous. ”None really. I’ve taken the basic classes of course. I’m also good at looking at smithed items and learning their history. Particularly weapons. Those are interesting.”

2. What skills do you possess that would be an asset to a colony with no readily available resources?
Singji sits up straight. She looks confident in her answer. ”I’m a smith. A trained norther smith. I’ve finished my apprenticeship, and was working to be a mastersmith here at the Lodge. I can make tools, and nails as well as weapons and armor. If it’s made of metal, I can try to make it. I’ll do it too. ” She leans back with a smile. Confident her skills will be useful.

3. Provide an example of a time when you successfully organized a diverse group of people to accomplish a task.
”There was this time when I we had to finish up a plow. There were lots of pieces to put together. We had to work with the woodworker, and the other smiths as well as the farmer to make sure it wasn’t too heavy for the oxen to pull. Trying to get everyone heading in the same direction took some guts, and some ale. Those gents had pretty hot heads.”

4. What experiences have you had surviving in tropical climates?
She looks nervous again. ”None. I come from the northern lands. No tropical climates there. I’ve read a couple of books on surviving in the tropics. That should be helpful. Smiths are hot places that should help me prepare for the heat.”

5. Share an experience you had in dealing with a difficult person and how you handled the situation.
”The son of the chief of my village was spoiled. He got away with things because he was the son of the Chief. I had to work with him on smithing projects. I kept my head down and let my work talk for me. He did manage to get me run off, but I ended up here so it worked out better than if I’d stayed home.”

6. Tell us how you organize, plan, and prioritize your work.
”What’s the greatest need against who asked first. Usually I go with who asked first. It’s always a great need no matter what it is. I take into account if it really is an emergency such as a tool broken that has to be fixed for someone to work.”

7. Name a time when you identified strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions to problems. What was the impact that your insights had?

”Have you ever tried to fit a gnome with heavy armor? They can’t carry much weight, and armor is heavy. I managed to make a lighter version without using too many special materials. She was on a budget. I mixed solid pieces with leather. It worked, and she’s used it on many missions since.”

8. In your experience, what is the key to developing a good team?
”Strong leadership. People need to know what they are to do. They work best when given perimeters to work within. You get more than if they are left to decide on their own what to do.”

9. How are you affiliated with the Pathfinder Society?
”Ambrus Valsin brought me into the Pathfinder Society two years ago. I have been splitting my time between Pathfinder training, and my duties at the onsite smithy since then. This will be my first assignment.”

10. As you will NOT be able to answer the previous question truthfully in the interview at Almas, explain how and why you are qualified to be accepted on this Expedition for reasons that have nothing to do with your Society Affiliation.

”I’m a smith as I said before. That’s something that is useful in a colony or small town. It should give me a good reason for being chosen. I don’t have any family nearby, and no real reason for staying here. A expedition is a good place for a fresh start.”

11. Provide a time when you were able to identify a complex problem, evaluate the options, and implement a solution.

She smiles ”I wanted to learn about the Pathfinder Society so I spend my breaks looking for the best places to listen to the lectures, and not be seen. It worked for two years before I got caught. That took some coordination. I also took the lead on my final smithing project. I was to make my own hammer. It took months of research. I looked at all the options, and it took me months but I created something I’m happy with.”

12. Finally, why do YOU want to be a part of this Expedition?

”I need to see the world. Being in Abaslom has opened up the world to me. I want to learn the histories as they are being discovered not after they arrive back at the Lodge and are cataloged. I want to write a report on new weapon or item that hasn’t been seen in this age.”

She nods and leaves after she answers the last question. The breath rushes out of her lungs as soon as the door closes behind her.

I'll get my responses to the questions posted tonight or tomorrow. Those are going to take some thought.

Prologue Aria & Makanaky:
”Pearl diving that sounds interesting. I haven’t spent much time on a boat myself. I rode in a caravan from the north when I arrived here.” Singi responds to Aria. She looks a little uncomfortable. "I've heard some people get sick on boats. I hope I'm not one of those."

”Patron? Well Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin is tired of tripping over me, and has sent me off on this mission. I kept sitting below open windows to listen to the lectures. He said it wasn’t seemly or some such thing, and put me in the class. I've been working as a smith and taking classes at the Lodge for the last couple of years.” She responds. Taking a drink of ale and eating some food she looks over at the statue. Wow what an ancestor.

”Your family histories are much more elevated than mine. I’m just a smith from a long line of smiths with a little magic mixed in I’m told. I’ve never seen it in myself.”

Prologue, Makanaky, Aria:

"Singi Stenson at your service. I've been brought into this for the opportunity for both myself and the Pathfinders. I have skills that are useful to a colony." She points to the hammer on her belt. "I'm a trained smith. What about you?"


AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 14 +4 deflection vs. evil hp 13/13Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +0; +4 resistance vs. evil Female human (Ulfen) fighter (two-handed fighter) 1/shadows student of war 1/gestalt 1 Init +3; Senses Perception +4 Aura protective aura (10 ft.)

Prolgue:
Singi gives a slight bow to Valsin, and heads down to the crowds. "I forgot to ask what Ayse looks like. He did say he so that will help."

She presents herself to Shane to let him know she's arrived, and hands over the required paperwork. Always paperwork in the Society. She then makes he way into the Great Hall with all the other hopefuls. Shane did say everyone was going alphabetically. I'll watch and see who Ayse. He should be going clost to the font of the group.

She leans on a wall at the edge of the room and looks around to the others gathered trying to guess their skills.

Prologue:

The tall blond ulfen woman dressed in light armor takes the Wayfinder respectfully. Her nicked and scarred hands hold the item gently."Thank you. I'll keep it safe and return it to you when this mission is over." She tucks it away in her leather belt pouch. Studying the activity below she notices an abundance of people running around without armor.

"Are they all spellcasters? Trying to keep a bunch of cloth wearing spell slingers safe is going to be hard to do on my own. Of course I'll do my best to not lose any of them on my watch. I'm excited for the mission. Thank you for the chance. Anything else you wish to tell me before I head down and prepare to leave?"


Take your time Shadow. It's a lot of work.
