Oh no. :( Hope you have a Merry Christmas regardless.

Christmas shopping's done!

Now just got to do the cards.

"I think that's everything," Tera mutters as the planning winds down.

"Is he around," Tera asks, sounding a little more composed than she had been.

"Whatever attacked Grayst infected him with Ghoul Fever. It... It wants me. It wants to make me... make me a g-ghoul," Tera stammers out as she huddles under her cloak. "Grayst said that it'd stop if I went to the Misgivings and... and..."

She buries her head in her hands and lets out a soft sob. She struggles for a moment to regain her composure as she relives the horrible scene that had played out at Habe's.

"I fear something terrible has happened to Aldern. I haven't heard from him since the morning after that whole mess with Lord Kaijitsu."

"Would it help if you had someone to lean on," Tera asks Marcus as she nibbles at her cookie.

Sorry folks for not being more active. I started working out at 5 in the morning this week and, well, changing your sleep patterns and working out when you are as out of shape as I am takes a lot out of ya.

"Yes, we should," Tera agrees before adding, "We should also not mention what happened too loudly. Gossip spreads faster than a wildfire in Sandpoint."

It'll be the weekend before I'll be up to updating Tera.

Tera nods her agreement. She isn't sure she can trust her voice at the moment.

On the way back to Sandpoint, once they are away from Habe's, she finally speaks up.

"I think Aldern might be in trouble," she says in a voice just above a whisper, "I didn't realize it with everything else happening afterward, but I haven't heard from him since the boar hunt."

She does not mention that her very public and humiliating caning was about the same time.

"We better hurry," Tera says, not so subtlely pulling Kaede towards the door.

A Doctorate? :P

Tera looks at Kaede with growing worry as Habe lays the blame at their feet. Then there was Sal's revelation that the Misgivings was the name for Aldern's manor near Sandpoint. Half-forgotten feelings from the events over the past fall come welling back up and mixed with her fear. She had thought about writing him a few times, but could never work up the courage, and now she felt a fool for not having done so. Maybe then she would have realized sooner that he had not written her either.

"Kaede, I'm sorry," Tera whimpers as she buries her head into the Shelynite's shoulder.

"I-I don't know," Tera admitted, "I don't know of any place that goes by that name."


Female Human Arcanist 3/Inquisitor 1 | Hero Points: 1/3 | HP: 19/19, NL: 0 | AC 14/13/11, Cold Resistance 1 | F+4 R +5 W+8 | Per: +10 | Init: +3 | Bolts: 4, Arrows: 14, Shocking Grasp: 21, Silent Image: 5, Magic Missile: 15

Tera shoulders her bow and rushes to look over Kaede. She finds that her friend is unharmed and deduces what must have happened. She turns to see Marcus already healing his injuries. As the adrenaline leaves her veins, she leans up against the walls and begins to shake violently.

"Why? Why would anyone do this to me?" she asks in a small, terrified voice.

Ah, sorry. I thought that there was a straight line from the fight to the front door. Tera will be staying inside where she can see what's happening.

The door that Tera just went out of?

Tera reaches for her bow as she turns to see Kaede. Her hands tremble as she casts another spell, this time imbuing her bow with a spark of arcane energy.

"H-he's after me! G-get out of his way!" she calls out as she nocks an arrow.

Casting Gravity Bow on her bow, Drawing her bow.

Once more Tera sends bolts of magical energy streaking for Grayst as she backs away from the wild, undead monstrosity.

Two streaks of light weave through the bodies to slam unerringly into the ghoulish form of the late Grayst Sevilla. Her spell cast, Tera turns back to the door and fumbles at the latch for a moment before throwing it open and letting in the still chilly spring air.

Magic Missile!: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Tera's head snaps to look at Salomae. Wide eyes filled with terror don't see anything for a moment before the young mage begins to rebuild her composure little by little. She whimpers as her heart slows and tears rim her eyes.

"He... He..." The words struggle to get out for a moment before Tera gives up and leans into her friend and does her best not to cry or fall into hysterics. Salomae can feel Tera shaking as the tremors of fear race through the slight woman.

Forgot to say that Tera was casting Cure Light Wounds in my last post.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7

Tera raises her hands and stammers through the incantation of her spell. Two missiles appear and slam into the madman as she stumbles back in fear. She knew, knew without a doubt, this man was after her and her alone. She trips as her boot heel drags on the ground and slams into the door. She had to get outside, had to open the range so she could bring her bow to bear. She had to get away from this monster.

Panic causes her fingers to grow numb as she fumbles at the latch. Those close to her can hear her beg, "Please, oh please open! Please!" Her eyes dart from her fumbling hands to Grayst as he roars and comes after her.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Tera, seeing the man and the state he's in, reaches out with a hand that only trembles slightly. A soft prayer and a warm light fill the room for a moment as she tries to give some succor to Grayst.

"Mr. Sevilla? Can you hear us? Did that help all," she quietly asks.

"If we had to come back here, you would have seen me do meek and desperate," Tera whispers back, letting ehr discomfort at being here show more clearly now that Habe was gone and her back was to the tiefling orderly.

"Dr. Habe, There are several of us that have been blessed with healing gifts. Please, we wish to learn what he knows before more people die. If he is unable, we will find a way to help him so that he is."

So, I just go home and while I was getting the mail, I had a little songbird fly into my car. Scared me half-to-death when it did because I couldn't tell what it was at first.

Tera stands near Kaede and Salomae, quietly observing how things are unfolding.

Tera turns to take a look at Sal as she hears the steel in her voice, then steps back at the coldness in her eyes. She couldn't remember if she'd ever seen her friend like this.

Seeing which way the wind is blowing, Tera comes up with an idea.

"We may not have to spend the night. Do you have rooms that are open, or we could see Grayst without the doctor," she asks in a last ditch attempt to not have to make a return trip.


Female Human Arcanist 3/Inquisitor 1 | Hero Points: 1/3 | HP: 19/19, NL: 0 | AC 14/13/11, Cold Resistance 1 | F+4 R +5 W+8 | Per: +10 | Init: +3 | Bolts: 4, Arrows: 14, Shocking Grasp: 21, Silent Image: 5, Magic Missile: 15

"We were told that one of the people here survived an attack on some other men and we really only want to ask him a few questions. Please, sir. Give us a few minutes and we'll be gone," Tera adds, hoping to change the man's mind. Unfortunately, she's too nervous and stutters through her words just a bit too much to come off as someone to be taken seriously.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Kaede Mayumi wrote:

"Not really," The Tian priestess admits as they leave Harker's house. "However, from what I'm inferring, they're a place to send people that have serious emotional or mental issues for healing, yes?"

"The first part's true enough. The second... Let's just leave it at I've heard things about some of the places in Magnimar," Tera says, obviously uncomfortable with the subject.

Tera stays quiet as Kaede takes the lead at the sanitorium. She does hear Marcus' whisper about the man's eyes and takes a closer look.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Know(Planes): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Her mind puts together the clues about the man's heritage, and she almost wishes her mind weren't so sharp.

Oh, I hope this is just my paranoia and not an omen of things to come.

"Not necessarily," Tera disagrees, "It could help establish a motive or provide some background on Mr. Harmer. Two seemingly random bits of knowledge could combine to form a small part of what happened. It may not be the same as finding a note that stated someone Mr. Harker had cheated had a reason to kill him, but it's better than finding nothing at all. As for Habe's, I can't say for certain. I... Kaede, have you ever heard of sanatoriums?"

Question for the GM:

Do I still need to roll for the spells and stuff or has there been enough time for Tera to take 20 on all of those?

Also, can I say that Tera has a set of theive's tools as well?

All caught up. :)

Tera nods at Kaede's suggestion, not sure if she could go through Habe's at the moment. Ven's greif fueled fury had shakern her, and then there was the note. Did Ven know about it? What would happen if he did? She didn't want to think about what kind of damage Ven could cause if he decided that she was responsible for Katrine's death.

"This was a mistake," Tera whispers to Sal as Ven's temper takes over. "We're not going to be able to talk to him or help him when he's like this."

"Can you let me in to speak with him," she asks the clerk and the others. "I... I just want..."

Seeing Vin Vinder like this is almost worse than she was afraid of, and her words falter as she tries to find the right ones.

I'll be out of town from 10-25 to 10-30. I'll not be posting at that time. Bot me as needed.

"Yes, if for no other reason than to offer him some comfort."

"Yeah, I think we've gotten all we can from Mr. Thorn."

In a louder voice, she tells Ibor that they're done.

"Thank you for answering us. I apologize for any distress we put on you and wish you well."

Tera sighs and turns back to Mr. Thorn.

"Mr. Thorn, if you promise to keep what we have told you in here quiet, I'll explain what we found at the mill. If you do let slip what we've so far let slip in front of you, then I'm afraid that we'll be sparking a panic."

"I dunno, but I don't think we should be worrying Mr. Thorn with it," Tera says, hoping to remind the others that they probably shouldn't be blabbing about there being an undead about.

Tera turns and looks at Marcus with her mouth agape, not quite able to believe that he is indeed that angry.

"M-Marcus? Are you okay?"

Thanks! Though if I'm honest, there are times I feel like it's less a bell curve than a tail. :P

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Woo! Low rolls for the win!

"Sal, that wasn't the best way to phrase that," Tera says as she runs a hand down her face. She turns to Ibor Thorn and tries to give him a comforting smile, and fails. "We don't suspect you did it. The evidence we've found doesn't point to you. As Sal said, we'd just like to know if someone might have a reason for wanting Mister Harker dead."

"Mr. Thorn, I think. Mr. Vinder isn't... Well. I don't think that conversation's going to go well for anybody," Tera says bleekly.

Sorry for the radio silence. I've been binging Schlock Mercenary and kinda went overboard this past weekend.

"I dunno," Tera admits to the others, "maybe we can find out more from the survivor of the other attack. Maybe Mr. Thorn knows something, but I think the sheriff would have asked him already if he did."

Tera's face turns paperwhite as she hears Zache's revelation.

"That's pretty much what I was thinking, though one of them got the creature with the axe first," Tera agrees with Kaede. "I think we'll have to read up on Lamashtu and her cult to find those answers I think. That or go ask Quink. He might know something and we did see that star in the old parts of Thistletop."

"I feel like I should know what might have done it, but I can't think of anything for certain," she adds, frustration coloring her voice.

Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Tera swallows hard as nausea washes over her with the smell of rot.

"The mill was running last night. It's too soon for rot to have set in," she splutters as she pulls up a newly purchased scarf over her nose and mouth.

Knowledge(Religion) (what undead beasties leave behind such a stink): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Something unnatural was afoot, she was certain. She looked around, blocking out the horror and the godsawful stench of it all and forced her mind to work. She didn't know how they would catch this killer, but she was certain that they'd need every clue they could glean from this scene and probably more. She follows Sal's finger and studies the Sawdust with narrow eyes. She moves over to one of the clearer prints and pulls down the scarf for just a moment to take a whiff, only to jerk back as her complexion turned pasty at the smell.

Survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"And one of them was barefoot and reeks of rotting meat," she adds weakly to the woodswoman's observations. She takes a moment to gather her composure and then moves to the axe, being careful not to disturb it or the dust around it.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The reek of rotten flesh proves too strong and Tera has to turn away and retreat for a moment while she fought down the bile in her throat. After a couple of shakey moments, she turns back and examines the axe as best she can.

Knowledge(Religion) (Axe, sickened): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 2 = 21

"I'm starting to think our killer was some kind of undead," she says weakly, "the reek's too strong and what's on the head is too rotten to have come from the victims."

She hated herself for calling Katrine and Harker that, but if she'd called them by name, she'd have broken down and wept for them after she'd finished emptying her stomach.

Feeling worse the longer she stayed near it, she stood up and staggered over to the wall where the smell wasn't as bad, hoping that she'd feel better in a moment.

It was a futile hope. Seeing little option but to continue, she looked over the corpses next, hoping to glean anything she could. She doesn't spend long on Katrine, thanking the gods that she hadn't suffered for long, if at all, after her fatal meeting with the log splitter. Harker, though, she spends more time on, choking back bile as she realizes that the killer had taken its time with him.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 = 25

She turns away, but then turns right back around to look more closely at the man's wounds. Her brow furrows and she holds up her hand to them. The spacing of the claw marks is wrong for her small hand, but it should be right for someone taller and with bigger hands. Her eyes narrow more as another bit of evidence convinces her that they were not looking at a normal murderer.

If one could even use normal to describe someone who could do this!

Needing some air, she turns to the open doors leading to dock where the logs were brought in.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18
Survival: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 = 20

She looks around, then more closely as something catches her eye. She goes all the way to the end of the dock and slowly follows the muddy prints she finds to the wall and grimaces as she imagines what it would have been like for poor Harker as his murderer came in through the window. Another shiver runs down her spine as she walks back through the mill and waits for the others to finish up.

Tera looks up at the Sheriff, fear having drained the color from her face, but she seems to have taken some strength from the solidarity that the others have shown her.

"Does Shayliss know," she asks, feeling a dull, burning shame as she remembers some of the things she'd said about the younger Vinder girl.

Ready to move on to the Mill when you are.

Tera just nods, not very convinced, but not wanting to argue the point either.

Knowledge(local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"I've heard Sister Amet'Ra talking about Aeryn Habe and his sanatorium before. It seems that he and the priests at the Cathedral don't get along," Tera says after Sal's admission, "I'm guessing there's not much that could done for him if he's there. We may be able to get a description of whoever did the deed out of him, but I wouldn't bet money on it."

She shudders as she remembers some of the descriptions of the few sanatoriums around Magnimar and desperately hoped that if they had to visit Habe's, those tales would not prove to be true.
