Thelian's page

"Poor guy."

Thelian cuts the rope, carefully lowering the body on the ground.
"Did they hang him for intimidation? Doesn't matter, we must go inside, Madam Sylvia's probably in there. Not sure if she's alive, after what we've seen."

He comes closer to the cave, peeking inside.

Discern Realities: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8 What should I be on the lookout for?

Thelian peers into the surroundings. "Be careful. Whoever did this might still be around."

"They didn't bite or burn me"

"We should move," Thelian echoes Kadasa.

I'm still here. Family is important, take your time.

Just poking the GM.

Spout lore: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 Never hurts to try.

Hack and slash: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11 Two good combat rolls one after another. It's too good to be true. Oh, well. I deal 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 damage and avoid the eel's attack.

Thelian thrust his spear into the last creature, being especially careful after it burned Wyla.

Hack and Slash?: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3) + 2 = 10 If the move is needed, then I deal 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 damage and avoid their attack.

Thelian pokes his spear into one of the creatures, checking what will they do.

Defy Danger: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 2 = 10

Reflexes rarely betray Thelian. He dives to the side, covering his head with his hands, face down into the mud, yet again cursing his life. The explosion barely grazes his cloak.
Thelian immediately jumps up, looking for whoever did this, with his spear ready to strike.

"Someday you'll have to do something, Shyff." grumbles Thelian, but smiles afterwards, imagining what would come of it.

Quartermaster: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 Barely made it.

Glad to have you back.

Yep, let's go now.

"Great, an epidemic." sighs Thelian. "Just the thing we need."

"That's why Madam Sylvia went for this moss?"

"Then maybe instead of drinking and accusing people, you should treat her, dull ears." Thelian looks up from his chair, still sitting. "Now go, I have people I actually like talking to."

...Thelian and Wyla, why don't you tell me what your three companions have just walked into.

Just as the three of them walk into the Bongo's Bounty, they see Thelian exchanging glares with one of the drunks.

"How about another round on me?"

"Have I ever refused a free drink?" Thelian smiles back.

Let me know which of the three questions you would like to ask.

What should I be on the lookout for?

What time of day is it? Evening?

Discern realities: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 Let's see, why not?

Thelian walks into the tavern, boots squishing and water dripping from his cloak. Damn the scoundrel who sold it. Isn't that the point of the cloak - to protect from rain?
He sits near the hearth, hands and feet stretched to the warmth of the flame.

After the hearth dried him a little, Thelian asks the owner for a plain meal and and a pint.
"I'll pay you next time." he answers a silent and obvious question. "I always do, you know me."

He eats his meal, looking at the customers with little interest.

Oh, lol. I honestly haven't thought about that. Just took it from some name generator.
That's cool. Aywinn Style. I like it.

Whoops, completely forgot. Of course he has a name. :) Aywinn.

...Thelian, assuming you're fine with the bond I assigned you, what sort of swordsmanship school do you follow? Can't be rivals without knowing a bit about you ;)

Sure. His master always told Thelian, that name doesn't matter, only the essence. Although the style is unnamed, it is practical. It lies in quick lunges and tripping an opponent with a hooked spear. Keep your opponent at a distance. Use every advantage. There is no "dirty" in fighting for your life. Leave ostentatious maneuvers for the tournaments. Although that last part Thelian sometimes ignores.

Thelian has helped me keep my cover numerous times.

Mezirbrekan, what cover? As in fake name?

Bonds:
Complex is not always better. Kadasa learned that in fight with some pitchfork and spear wielding thugs. Of what use are pressure points, if you can't get close enough to the enemy?
*Kadasa owes me her life, whether she admits it or not.

Thelian was lost in the woods, starving and not knowing any edible herbs and berries, when he saw a smoke and a small light struggling in the thicket. Shrike was making a camp before a hunt, and helped Thelian with food and water.
*I have sworn to protect Shrike.

Shyff hasn't seen as many combats as Thelian did.
*Shyff is soft, but I will make him hard like me.

He may be a great con, but that won't help to fight bandits or cave dwellers.
*I worry about the ability of Mezirbrekan to survive in the dungeon.

I don't mind inviting them. 5 is better than 3. Probably.

Anyone alive here? :)

I'll wait for others too.

Thelian is a mercenary. He was a city guard, but that is not as profitable as being a sword for hire, unless you're willing to be drawn into some shady affairs. And it is boring. Traveling from town to town, on the other, provides various experiences unavailable if you spend your life in a single city.

Dotted and deleted in gameplay.

Will be back with the info later today.
