Yuukyou steps up and takes a bow. Thank you so much your highness. He coughs and straightens his scarves, wishing he had properly prepared a speech. Explore. Report. Cooperate. These are the foundations of the pathfinder association. The cataloguing and free exchange of information is essential to the mission of the pathfinder society. We have been retained to investigate the historical truth of one Honaria Alcasti, with the understanding that our results would be impartial and we would report what we found, for good or for ill of Honaria's reputation. He smiles and gives a expansive gesture. However, I must say that it is always good to find out that there more decent people in this world than you expect, and I'm happy to say that our investigation shows that Honaria Alcasti was one of them. He motions towards some of the recovered relics. First, we have testimony from none other than a living tree who met Honaria herself! For obvious reasons, we only have transcripts of what he told us about her, but these are available for your perusal at your leisure. He claimed that Honaria never abandoned her duties, and that she even hunted down the enemies of Taldor above and beyond the call of duty! As evidence for her Heroism, the tree presented us with several split helms and broken swords, each bearing the fox insignia of the traitors of ancient Taldor. He motions again to the bronze bust. Here, we have a bronze bust, commemorating her great service to Aroden and being conferred the knightly honors she deserved for her great deeds. Not only is it a rather stunning piece, but shows the high regard she was held in by the church and people at the time, and even for one so young! He then bows his head and gives a audible sigh, prepping the audience for the next part of the story. However, if this was a happy story we would not be here would we? Honaria fought and fought, but found herself on the loosing end of a devastating war. Records recovered from a historian show that she requested, repeatedly, for supplies necessary to fulfill her duty to crown and country. Sadly, she was rebuffed and forced into a unsustainable situation. Despite this, her honor never wavered, and while she questioned the tactical decisions made, her devotion to the crown was never in contest. He waves towards the recovered medals. As proof of this, we bring the distinguished medals of service that Honaria collected throughout her time. Through a spot of luck, we are even able to absolve Honaria of a nasty rumor that she had struck down a political enemy. Testimony from a clockwork familiar that was recovered at the scene confirms that Honaria not only had no knowledge of the heinous act, but in fact was not even alive at the time the plan was put into motion. Yuukyou coughs, knowing the speech is getting long but not wanting to miss anything. Now, at this point I completely understand if I have not 100% convinced you of our findings. After all, what are dusty books and busts and broken swords? But, we have a most pleasant personage to introduce you to this day. A sword not only whole in body, but in mind! Honaria's trusted companion and sword of honor, Soldier's Glory! Yuukyou motions for Soldier's Glory to be brought up and presented. Soldier's Glory, unlike the tree and the clockwork familiar, is able to be here today to tell you all the true circumstances of those days all those years ago. His testimony is backed and supported by our research, and I hope you will all give him as much attention as you have granted me. Yuukyou softly bows out to let both Soldier's Glory, and any pathfinders who wished to follow, the chance to speak.
Yuukyou nods and winks to Morilla. You got it. We'll handle this. Knowing that time is short, Yuukyou hurries over to Solomon, affecting a grumpy, aggravated face. He stops by Solomon, and looks at the arranged room, speaking with his voice dripping with frustration. What nonsense this all is. We'd have none of these tired meetings and balls and paperwork and trials in the caravan. Wouldn't you agree? Barely waiting for him to do so, Yuukyou continues on. I mean, all this time, and the red tape! Oh the red tape! Surely there could be better way to go about it all?
Clearly lost, Yuukyou moves on to Morilla. Hello Ma'am. I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to introduce myself. My name is Yuukyou, a fellow pathfinder. Would it be to untoward to assume that you will be siding with your fellow pathfinders in the testimony? Considering your aware of our deeds and what we're actually capable of.
The captain tended to, Yuukyou moves on to Inka. Hello Ma'am... so good to see someone who might appreciate what we're doing here. He waves at the others. Not the flippantly or the politics mind you. What at least we're here about. Seeing that a dead soldier get's their due. To many get forgotten on the fields you know?
Yuukyou smiles sweetly and pats the corsair on the back. Well, your lucky at least that the princess admires a woman of strength.... but when your talking to these nobles, you've got to... Yuukyou quietly hush hush gives a few pointers and tips on how she approaches the princess. As he does so, he pulls a card from the harrow deck, and shows it to her.
The Brass Dwarf, a good omen! It denotes invulnerability to current threats. You can do this, just have faith in your self. Sure, you may not be as fancy as these other folks, but you have ambition, skill, and wiles, all things the princess, especially a princess like this one, would appreciate. You can do this.
Yuukyou looks over the assembled guests and sighs. Where the cards take me, I go. Straightening his scarves, he steps forward to the one he recognizes as holding a "Captain" title. Captain, so military... perhaps he'd be impressed by the military maneuvers? Yuukyou comes up to the captain and gives a smile and a bow. Hello Sir. My name is Yuukyou, one of the... artifact hunters that was retained for this collection. Such interesting history! Especially the military stratagem that was used. Honaria's tactic to destroy the band that was disbanded for treason by cutting off the snake's head as it where was a solid tactical decision, don't you think?
Yuukyou watches for a moment before he can't help himself, and pushes up next to bielsi. Look, not like that, I'm sorry, just let me...That's right, turn it left... that wire crosses over from the right, so it stands to reason that you can just... He gets into the pieces and parts of the construct with a sigh as he works. See how these connect? It must, therefore, be linked here as well...
Yuukyou blinks a few times and then says. Um... I don't think they plan on surrendering. They seem to be mocking us. I think we're just gonna have to get in and do things the old fashion way... anyone feel like hacking these boards off for me? If can see them, I can finish them off.
Yuukyou, unfortunately, is being beset by his dark half currently, and tries to force himself to calm down.
It works on the first try, and he stops glowing, though he stares daggers at the house. He yells out first in Common, and if there is no response, draconic. Surrender now and you may yet live! There are several strong warriors here, and while we do not wish to kill you, we will if you continue to bar us! Give up now!
It probably is, I just am touchy about being called out on being "Cheesy" or "Munchkiny" cause it's so often used to be dismissive. I come up with cool character ideas, and then I decide what they do, then I research what they need to be good at it. For some reason for certain people (No one here at least) that means I'm a terrible role player.
It's not quite as munchkin of me as as it sounds, cause actually Yuukyou's goal is to become a Harrower since I got a actual harrow deck for my birthday last year. I'm absolutely enamored with everything about the prestige class. I'm also gonna take Harrow Summoning so I can SUMMON MONSTER CARDO! The Mind thrust exploit was a happy, and hilarious coincidence considering that the guy I'm flavoring Yuukyou after has a habit of "Mind Crushing" opponents when they lose or cheat.... >.> Bonus weeb points to anyone who gets the reference. But yeah, considering, as far as I know, Mind thrust is the only damaging divination spell and it only works on mind effecting, getting some bonus to caster level on it is powerful, but not as bad as it sounds.
After realizing that his powers aren't going to work, Yuukyou sighs and rolls up his sleeves. Welp, honest day's work never killed anyone. Unless anyone's got a shovel, I'll be digging. Yuukyou does attempt to find a wooden board, shovel, or something useable, but if not resigns himself to some dirty work and digs with his hands.
Yuukyou breaths deep and points at the scorpion again. Body, Seize!
However, it sputters a few inches from his hands. He swears in annoyance, his voice coming out in a growl of reverberating sound. Oh come one... stupid spells... ugh, affecting physical matter is so much harder than ripping apart the mind.
Yuukyou runs forward...
and makes a sharp left turn. BOY! DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID! He dances up and down on the sand as he shouts out. Come on you big mindless chunk of Chitin! Come and get a taste of Varisian! We come pre-spiced! He mutters to himself as he keeps moving... Probably should heed my own advice! |
