Yeda's page

Happy birthday and thanks for letting us know!

Time to anger it some more! I'm not quite used to the tusks yet.

Yeda comes around to the opposite side of it from Corrin, hoping to catch it from behind...

greatsword attack, furious focus, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12
greatsword slashing damage, furious focus: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 4) + 9 = 15

Is Loxely still around?

Okay, I think I've got her HP set right after going down and getting healed.

It all happened in a flash. One of the boars charged her and then nothing. Next thing she knows, she's on her back, slowly opening her eyes again, vaguely seeing the elf recede away as if he'd just done something to bring her back. This tells her it's been seconds, not minutes or hours that she's been out. Well, that's good anyway. Reliable friends, these...

She sits up and shakes the grogginess out of her head.

Thank you... Corrin. She gets up with her sword and looks around for where that boar went...

Stand up from prone, move action.

FYI: I'm going to be away this weekend, Saturday 11/10 and Sunday 11/11. I will not have reliable access to internet and the ability to post. Bot as necessary. I will return and resume posting Sunday evening (US/Pacific time).

bringing us to Yeda, roll a death save

I assume you mean CON check to stabilize?

Stabilize?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Damn

Eh, it's right here! Why would I use the bow... She hefts her greatsword and tries to show the group an impressive, single cleaving motion...

greatsword attack, furious focus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
greatsword slashing damage, furious focus: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 = 13

Whoops! Guess I was supposed to be more sneaky and hunt you from the shadow. Oink!

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Doesn't seem worth the effort. And if you don't care either way, why not stick with the system it was written for.

Stealth: 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 5 = 5

It's peaceful here...nice after that goblin trouble and all the drama in town.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Thank you! When you get choosy with your hunting partners, you end up outfitting them with gear. I may still try my hand at slashing at the boar with my blade here, but I understand that's not the primary mode of the sport.

There is an armory in town, but I am very short on cash. I should have asked the Sheriff for an advance of my payment!

Yeda leads her crew out of the Rusty Dragon. Take us there Aldern! You, uh, have a bow I can borrow?

Yes, lets do this. Those trouble-making goblins got my adrenaline started yesterday but didn't satisfy it.

Yeda, interestingly, can at times look like a petite lady or an imposing tribal woman who's presence is much greater than her seemingly smaller frame. Right now she looks like the latter and ready to kill something.

Tickwood?

She gets an unpleasant, scrunched look on her face as she repeats the name, highlighting its implications.

Then... we might be picking little bugs off of our skin after this little hunting trip.

She then shrugs it off and gets back to the hunting.

Well, I look forward to chasing down the little boars with this. She hefts her greatsword over her shoulder for emphasis.

Sure thing buddy. We've got a whole group here ready to go. Do you have a particularly good spot that you've used before?

Yeda sighs as braces herself. Sure. Thanks Ameiko.

Yeda laughs nervously at this. We can... wait until he returns from his room unless somebody else wants to go knock on his door. I don't want to give him the wrong idea.

Ameiko says "I think he's in his room, he came in and went up."

This is referring to the hunting nobleman?

Won't we just be a burden on your "smooth operation"? Yeda kids.

As long as I have backup from the group I'll likely go hunting. All of this drama and talking about drama have got my sword itching.

Yeda looks at her sword longingly. Suddenly that hunt isn't sounding so bad...

Boy, your bit of fun is starting to sound complicated Tamm! Maybe you enjoy a good set of problems to solve for the people you entangle with.

Yeda blurts out, not really considering her words carefully (as northerners tend to do).

"But... Yeda how do you get to know someone without spending time with them?" Zeldana asked.

I spend time with people. I don't need to get to know nobles.

She turns to the proprietor.

Hello Ameiko. It seems the plot thickens around this town. We could definitely use some drinks.

To Zaldana's general point, Yeda sits down with her at an empty tavern table and proceeds to make smalltalk about her journey from the North, and ask her some questions about her background.

Could the whole group do both? Yeda is irritated by the noble, but there are reasonable conditions for the hunt to occur (simply that others are present).

"He could just like you Yeda. Is that so bad?" Zeldana asked her with a small shrug. "Unless you just don't like him at all. Then you should be honest with him."

Eh, if it were someone I knew, I would agree. This is a random noble who thinks I should be attracted to his advantages. It rubs my tribal upbringing the wrong way...

Zeldana looked to Tamm and blinked twice before she looked back to Yeda "You should be very worried about that relationship. Whenever someone says not to worry, that is when you worry." She grinned.

Tamm is a big boy. I'll trust his judgement so long as it doesn't affect our other efforts.

"Miss Yeda? A hunt? Is there something wrong with that?I've always been partial to such things.. like one day i want to find out the truth about the sandpoint devil of all things."

"Yeda, that guy seems keen to get us out in the woods?" Tamm says.

"We did save his life, is it just his awkward way of trying to say thank you?"

She stops and considers them both momentarily...

I enjoy hunting too, he just seemed like he might have additional...motives. That and I'm not really fond of nobles. I suppose with all of you along he'll have others to talk to and I could just focus on the wilderness. When he comes around again one of the rest of you can accept for our party.

She then turns to Tamm and smirks.

How about you Tamm, you seemed to be get along with that local girl. Does she want to go hunting with us?

Yeda rolls her eyes subtly. This guy again.

Well, while we'd love to we've been drawn into an important investigation that we must see to. We'll let you know if we get done with it before you leave! She tries to quickly usher the group past him and into the tavern.

After letting the others get through pleasantries, Yeda is anxious to get back to the matter at hand.

Well, we're not entirely sure at the moment. We were just investigating a disturbed crypt when we were attacked by skeletons. One of the clergymen at the local Cathedral thought he saw goblins near the crypt. We're not sure why there were skeletons nor do we know if the goblins are working for someone or on their own. We thought we might check with the local ranger who patrols the nearby wilds to see if she had caught wind of such agents recently.

Yeda nods, adding onto Tamm...

We can always use the help. Any reason you're looking for trouble?

I'm not aware that we did bring the bones with us, so we'd have to return to the crypt with anybody that we want to show/discuss it with.

Yeda continues to be suspicious that this is the work of simple-minded goblins alone. At the mention of Shalelu she gets an idea.

Yes, perhaps Shalelu would know if there were any rumblings of grave robbing activity and brewing necromancy in the land. We can check with Sheriff Hemlock to see if she's in town or out on one of her multi-day patrols.

Fr. Zantus, are you aware of any cults or the like, active in the nearby region, who would need a body for ritual or undead construction?

FYI: I will be away from home and without the ability to post this Saturday, Sept 15-16. I should be able to resume Sunday evening. Bot at needed. Thanks!

Yeda looks around for signs of the direction the grave robbers may have headed towards.

Survival (track): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 probably not...

Yeda responds incredulously to Zaldana.

Hey! We made sure he didn't die! We're only just starting out. We'll get better and farther from death even as we accomplish more daring deeds! I mean, I wouldn't normally assume that, but you seemed pretty sure about our fates, so it seems like there is some adventuring in store for our lot.

She smiles weakly as she hefts her greatsword over her shoulder. As the group discusses the robbed grave, Yeda ponders the possible implications.

Someone wants to make use of the body. It would be preferable if it were simply goblins, but now I'm concerned some sorcerer or wizard is up to foul play with it. Wouldn't the body of an accomplished priest or cleric provide a more valuable vessel for undead construction? I'm not so well-versed in these things...

She looks around at the group, hoping somebody can disprove her vague fears about necromancy.

Yeda responds to the sheriff, Oh, just a bit of a skeleton infestation. Nothing we can't handle! I cannot say where they came from. They might explain what Fr. Zantus experienced here, but now we need to investigate further.

No worries, please rest and feel better!

Yeda snarls at the new skeleton scratching at her and swings her blade to try to shatter this one too.

greatsword attack, furious focus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
greatsword slashing damage, furious focus: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 3) + 9 = 15

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Hmm, there are a lot of goblin footprints here, but also some from a normal-sized creature. But what...

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

She doesn't figure out much more before she hears Tamm scream in pain. She rushes into the crypt, with greatsword drawn, and sees Tamm stagger out in the opposite direction.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

She quickly sees the skeletons and prepares to attack the closest one.

Yes, we'll take any help we can get. Why don't you come along with us to investigate! Yeda starts out of the cathedral towards the crypt, motioning for Tamm and Corrin to follow.

To the crypt!

Good to meet you Zeldana. I would not doubt fate, but how is it that you have insight into it? Oh, and I'm Yeda Wolfspirit.

Yeda looks up at the woman and genuinely tries to place her face for a moment. I don't think we know her from the festival... She hesitates for a moment but doesn't know why.

Very well Father, we just wanted to be sure to do our homework and collect any clues you'd observed. We'll head over and investigate.

Yeda gets up to leave and motions to the others.

Checking back in. It looks like the "fixed" posting period on Tuesday was very short, and I didn't get in.

DM: I'm up for mythweaver, discord, whatever.

Greetings Father. We heard about this. We'd like to help you, but I thought I could ask some questions first if you don't mind. Did you notice anything else off around the crypt? Anything out of place, knocked over, or any tracks? Goblins are typically pretty messy so I would imagine they'd have left other clues.

Yeda eyes the strawberry curiously for a moment before tucking it away in a belt pouch as they head to the stable.

On to the cathedral!

Yeda gives Corrin a sideways, slightly surprised look. Huh, small breakfast. Off to the Sandpoint cathedral!

Welcome! Looks like we have the big four areas covered now.

Hello Corrin. So we've already been asked to provide a bit more help to the town, if you're interested in coming along. Tamm will be back shortly with his equipment and then we can head out.

Yeda catches up Corrin on what was asked of her by the Sheriff.

Unless Corrin objects it's probably safe to move us along to the short discussion with Father Zantus.

Sounds good Tamm, I'll see you back here and hopefully Corrin will have wandered back by then.

She then turns to the sheriff.

Only a few moments more and we can head out to see Father Zantus. More eyes and hands can only help, right?
