"Um. Her. Pai is a female gnome. And a bard. Kind of hard to lose, but we managed."

A search of the main floor reveals more mess. One room, obviously the barracks for the workers, is blood-spattered and ransacked. What was their dining hall, kitchen, and pantry are likewise destroyed. It quickly becomes apparent that the only place left for Ameiko and Tsuto...and this 'boss'... to be is down those staris off the room you entered through.
Hello....
Taize inches her way across the rafters, trying to reach a point where she can do some damage to her oponents.
"This is getting ridiculous! It's almost like she's being shielded! OK, let's see if melee works." Grimly, she prepares to work her way across to where Natalya now stands.
Frustrated and angry, Taize unleashes another Lightning Arc, this time at Natalya.
Taize calls out again. "Please, Miss Vankaskerkin, stand down. We will do no further harm to you or your allies. We simply wish to make sure you keep your original commitment."
Taize sighs, then calls on Gozrah. "You had your chance. Gozrah, lend me your power." She uses her Lightning Arc power to blast the wounded goblin.
Taize channels healing energy once more, though she suspects that's not exactly what Keeya needs.
Looks like her last post anywhere was here on Friday. I hope she's OK.
Taize comments "Weren't we supposed to retrieve her and the item? I don't think the Lodge will appreciate having to raise her to ask about her discovery."
She tries once more."Miss Vancaskerkin, despite my companions enthusiasm for combat, I don't think this is necessary. I don't care if you want to start your own gang, or how you wish to make your way to the 'top' as long as it doesn't interfer with my duties. Which, currently, are to bring you and the item you were to recover for the Pathfinders to the Lodge. Please, just stand down."
Taize readies for combat, saying "You know, Miss Vancaskerkin, failing to keep your promises is a bad way to start a climb to greatness."
Taize climbs up caoutiously and once more channels her healing energy.
"Perhaps we should attempt to climb that ladder instead. This one may have been just a trap."
Taize nods and moves to follow Keeya. "Do you want me to go next or do you think a more dedicated fighter might be best to folow her?"
Still here. No issues so far, power still on, just lots of rain and the threat of snow.
Quick note: I'm in Pittsburgh and we're supposedly in the threat range for Frankenstorm. I'm not real worried, but my posting may be delayed if there are any severe issues.
Taize cautiously moves up to the door, so as to be prepared to act once the signal is given.
Taize watches as keeya goes to rescue Talon. "Need help?" she whispers, though she suspects any surprise is already gone.
Taize attacks the nearest goblin with her lightning arc ability.
Taize will lower herself onto the plank straddling it as she moves forward. If there is a goblin visible when her turn coms, she wil lighting arc it.
If not she'll Channel to heal again.
Taize takes advantage of range and Channels Energy to cure Keeya.
Taize continues to follow, quietly and cautiously, as she observes the area.
It seems she's following Talon a bit to closely...and not nearly as cautiously as needed.
Taize readys her crossbow and follows cautiously.
Taize checks the body, to see if there's anything she can do.
If there's any possiblity of saving him, she'll cast a Cure Light Wounds on him.
Taize sighs, then moves in with her Tanbo, striking ot subdue.
"I can provide some minor benefits to us all." Taize casts Bless on the party.
Taize shrugs. "Let's get going then. Thank you, sir, for the information. I hope we can do more such beneficial to us both business in the future."
"Wee blue dwafies? They sound like useful beings to know."
Taize watches as Talon deals with the disgusting little man, cynically accepting that such ways are the same the world over.
Just a heads-up: My family and I (me, hubby, daughter [who's now 19!)] are going on a vacation trip this week. We're leaving Tuesday and will be back late Sunday. We're taking a lap-top so I should be able to post at least once a day except Tuesday. Itinerary:
I'm not abandoning anything, but I may not be real coherent To save time, Tiessa, you have permission to NPC me during any fights.
Taize nods. "That's a reasonable plan. His allies do not seem to be coming. Should we wait for his familar?"
"So, no slavers, that's good. No explanation for the disappearances, that's bad.
Still monitoring the doorway, Taize comments "Perhaps it has something to do with our task. Either the item or the woman."
Taize stays out of the discussion, still maintaining her watch on the doorway in. I'd better keep an eye out. The last thing we need is his friends coming in and surprising us while we're debating what to do with him and them.
Taize mooves to a spot where she can observe the entry and waits.
Taize sighs and bandages the man. He's more valuable alive.
"My abilities are mainly clerical. As a Divine Channeler of Gozreh's power I can strike with both lightning and storm, however, currently I can only target one opponent at a time."
I'm fine with Talon as leader.
As the dust settles, taize says "Anyone need healed?"
Upon reaching the doorway, Taize looks around cautiously.
Taize follows as cautiously as possible.
Or so she hopes.
"I, too, need little light to see, but I cannot see in pure darkness. Also, unfortunately, I'm not particularly sneaky."
Back from PT. Every Tuesday til my ankle is healed.
"K'nyaz, is it? Hi. Have you heard the stories about the monuments here? Supposedly, by following specific procedures, they grant blessings to people. I wish I knew more of how to do it, though."
Taize listens and observes. She notes the information in her journal after they leave and returns to her room to get the rest of her equipment and verify her spells. After that she decides to explore some of the monuments of the city, having heard of their ability to aid townsfolk.
Taize enters quietly and simply observes, wondering if his techniques are real and how they differ from those of her homeland. As she does, a smile briefly crosses her face as she wonders how Mister Amazing would have reacted to them saying 'If you know all, you know why we're here', though she doesn't speak.
"One more question, Officer? Has anyone else been asking about her?" After the group leaves, Taize explains "If she 'acquired' the artifact in a burglary, the original owner may well be looking for it, too. Perhaps learning where she got it would also help to find her."
"It's possible. Perhaps she had 'found' something and then found a better offer. Thank you for your help." |
