Session 1- Travel to Juniper

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Jul 12, 2019 3:11 am
Setting out at a moderate pace you begin your journey. The golden path is well marked with deep wagon ruts down the center of an earthy track marked by gold painted boulders. They aren't actual gold of course Zila mentions chattily. Some sort of gold colored paint. No less special though! The paint was enchanted to never wear away or erode, marking this path for all eternity!...or so the wizards say. Some day, I'll know the answer to just how long this paint will last. Zila smiles to herself.
As you travel further from the city thick grasses and shrubs grow up around the sides of the road and just off the road, a few hundred feet, you notice some berry bushes. One of the golden boulders here has a rude drawing painted over the lustrous paint. Seems to be a popular stopping point for travelers, just a few hours from the city gates. You decide to stop for a few minutes and collect some berries, but to continue on, so as not to slow your pace.
As you get further from Nahor, the land becomes more verdant and well watered. This time of year loud buzzing fills the air during the day from the leafhoppers that seem ubiquitous in these grasslands. Suddenly, Zila stops.something is coming. Her eyes flash with a violet light for a moment. Prepare yourselves. It will be upon us soon. You all notice that the insects have suddenly gone deathly silent.

Best we hide and ambush what ever is coming. Laura quickly moves to hide herself away. She moves away and just vanishes.

Laura's disappearing act has Trissrie take a double take, looking frantically for her companion before realizing she simply must be a master of stealth. She tries to emulate this behavior, hiding amongst the trees with her rather tall figure. After getting situated she clutches her amulet, feeling her senses begin to sharpen.
OOC:
Wow, equilibrium achieved.

You don't detect any undead in the area, but you do notice a slight trembling coming from the ground. A pebble that had been placed on the nearby golden boulder suddenly falls to the ground.

Cinead begins to draw in his magic power. Ready to face what may come. He scans the area, looking for what it could be. Any idea what is coming, Zila?

Cinaed is first to spot the huge lumbering creature coming towards you. Still a few hundred feet away, you can clearly make out its features. It seems to be running right towards your group.

You immediately recognize this as an ogre, but there seems to be something unusual about its behavior.

Prepare yourselves. This ogre looks like it wants to get rowdy. Cinead mutters to himself and presses a hand against his chest. The air shimmers as magic encases him in a faint aura. He yells out towards the ogre while taking a defensive stance. He tries to examine the ogre for any magical interference.HOLD THERE! We wish no trouble!

With the beast barreling towards you, its hard to get a good reading on its behavior.

Trissrie notices that the creature seems unusually pale (even for an ogre), its skinned bleached to a pearly hue, but its blue veins clearly visible at the surface of its skin.
Laura notices that the creature doesn't seem to be looking at you (yet). Its eyes are fixed directly ahead, or possibly not even seeing at all. This could be some arcane influence?
Cinaed notices that when he calls out to the creature, it doesn't even respond in the slightest. No tilt of the head or twitch of the ear to acknowledge the sound entered its ears. You can't think of any arcane effect that would cause this.
The creature does seem to be heading directly in your direction and has closed about half the distance since you last glanced at it. There are only moments left until it will be upon you. Strangely, a large hawk that had been circling overhead is now diving down and seems to be in a collision course to strike the ogre.
Barrot just smiles and draws his twin swords.
Following Cinaed's lead, Zila also casts mage armor on herself.

Laura looks on as the bird seems to be acting strange a well. She decides to keep her hiding spot and watch.
Jul 16, 2019 6:19 pm
The bird's form is lost in just a streak of gray. It is too difficult to make out any of its features at the speed its moving, but it definitely seems to be on a collision course with the ogre
Jul 16, 2019 11:31 pm
She knows this is potentially a bad idea, but Trissrie decides to risk it. She casts thaumaturgy from behind a thicket of trees 30 feet from their hiding spots, creating a horrible beast-like roar not unlike that of an owl bear.
Jul 17, 2019 11:32 pm
The ogre still doesn't react to anything around it, but the bird pulls up out of it dive just a few yards away from the ogre. It circles once and then drops gracefully down onto the ogre's shoulder. The ogre, now a mere 50 feet away from you comes to a halt and lets out a fearsome roar. Everyone, please roll initiative and a wisdom saving throw.

The ogre's mighty roar strikes fear into your hearts. Trissrie and Laura manage to steel themselves against this threat, but Cinaed, Barrot, and Zila find their nerves to be somewhat shaken.

As the beam of energy tears into the ogre with surprising efficacy, blue blood starts to spurt forth from a gash across its torso. The ogre seems not to react at all to the pain.
Barrot tries to step forward, but his nerve fails. He prepares to attack if the ogre comes toward him. He doesn't have long to wait. The ogre rushes forward and just as Barrot's sword flashes the ogre brings down his over-sized greataxe.

Cinead sees the ogre hit Barrot and does not want it coming closer to him. Cinead steps to the side so that Laura is not in the path of his attack and unleashes a freezing ready of magical energy at the ogre. As he attacks he feels as if he can do a little more, as unknown energy surges inside him.

Witnessing the ogre's uninterested attitude towards the damage they've suffered, Trissrie is (also) starting to suspect that the bird is playing a bigger part. She clutches her amulet with enough force to cause discomfort, and calls out to the bird with a strained voice. "A sentence of imprecation for you..."

As the beam of energy forms at Laura's fingertips the ogre lifts his hand to protect and shield the bird. The energy blasts right between his fingers and hits the bird, head on. For a moment it seems a ghastly symbol of Din Napisti is burned into the bird before the energy envelops it. After a moment, there is nothing left of the bird, but a few feathers gently drifting to the ground.
The ogre stumbles back for a second, seeming more vulnerable than before. Barrot rushes in, blades flashing.

"What tragedy befell such a creature. May Din Napisti carry you back home." Trissire feels remorse over the encounter, but at least it sounds like the ogre has found peace. "If you are suffering Barrot, I can ease your burden."

Not sure how much I should worry about Barrot from a gameplay standpoint but in character Trissrie would want to heal him.
Jul 28, 2019 6:46 am
This is most distressing. Cinaed walks over to the ogre's body and begins to examine it. Looking for any clues as to what may have caused the ogre's unnatural behavior. He moves his hands over the body, searching for any kind of trinket or sign that could have been pushing it along, while stretching his magical senses over the body, for anything.Perhaps if we can understand what caused this we can be better prepared in case we run across another one.

Cinaed- Looking over the ogre's body you see quite a number of scars and tattoos covering its flesh, but what catches your attention is a singular tattoo of a flame on the back of its neck. Whereas the other tattoos are a blueish tinge, this one is so black it almost hurts your eyes to look at. As you stare at it however, the black color seems to fade and after just a few moments, it is the same color as the other tattoos on the creature's body. Trying to piece together the clues, it seems the creature was not acting of its own accord, and for some reason became blinded when the hawk was blown to smithereens.

Barrot brusquely thanks Laura and starts to look around a bit. There are definitely pretty obvious footprints left behind by the ogre. We may be able to trace those back to its origin, unless we want to turn back to the road and continue on to Juniper village.
OOC:
I'm going to keep barrot's character with the party for now (even though I don't think blacknightrising is coming back at this point) just to give a little more of a hitpoint shield to the group and because he was included in the summons issued to Laura. We'll see what happens when you reach Ilan Ketur. He's just under half his max hp right now.

There is definitely something going on. This monster was not under his own volition. There was a strange tattoo on his body, one that changed colors as the last of his life force left him. I have never seen anything like it. Looks like I will need to do some research as I can. Give me a moment to copy this in case the design means something. Cinead pulls out a small notebook and begins drawing the tattoo design. He foes it quickly, not wanting to waste time. Once he is done he looks over the bird quickly in case it has similar markings.

Strangely, there is nothing left of the bird. You'd been pretty sure that there were at least some feathers left when it was initially destroyed. Thinking through your arcane knowledge, it occurs to you that if the bird were actually a fey or demonic spirit given form through the "find familiar" spell, it would have behaved similarly.

Cinead makes a quick note next to his drawing then puts his notebook away. Doesn't look like there is anything else to learn. Thank you for giving me a moment. Let's get going.
Jul 29, 2019 4:07 pm
You quickly turn back to the road and resume your journey to Juniper village. The weather is pleasant and once the ogre body is a good distance behind you, the air smells sweet. After about an hour of walking, you can see a guard tower in the distance bearing the emblem of the Nahor city guard.
Jul 29, 2019 7:16 pm
Nice to rest a bit and possibly a good drink.
Jul 29, 2019 7:52 pm
Trissrie actively observes as much of the tower as she can, smiling contently. "Juniper is within our grasp, a welcome sight after the strain of travel."
Jul 29, 2019 7:58 pm
As you approach you see that this the guard tower is a lone building with nothing else nearby. A small squad of soldiers seems to be organizing at the entrance to the tower. You gather that this is a patrol set to keep the road as safe as possible.
Jul 29, 2019 9:32 pm
Laura will lead the way up them, Hey. Good to see you. Is there a healer in town?
Jul 30, 2019 12:55 am
The sergeant, a middle-aged half-elf woman, turns toward you Greetings citizen! Are you headed to Juniper? We've been receiving some strange reports out of town. I might recommend you stay away until a formal investigation can be arranged.
Jul 30, 2019 2:22 am
Oh. How strange? Formal investigation. How could that effect us going there? Laura wonders partly out loud.
Jul 30, 2019 12:14 pm
The reports wouldn't happen to be about people or creatures acting strange or aggressive would they?
Jul 30, 2019 1:21 pm
The sergeant looks at Cinaed a bit quizzically No, not violent. Just strange. Some fellow named Tim has everyone in a tizzy, but nobody will explain the situation clearly. She turns to Laura You are definitely free to go there. It really is out of our jurisdiction, but if we don't do anything to help the surrounding villages, the Satraps certainly won't either. She spits off to the side. Some day those people are going to realize that the "tribute" they pay to the Satraps is nothing more than extortion.
She takes a minute to eye all of you up and down. Come to think of it, you look like a capable bunch. If you could resolve whatever this "Tim" situation for us, I know my captain would greatly appreciate it!
Jul 30, 2019 1:27 pm
Laura gives an appealing smile, Well. We may just look into that. Thanks for the info.

She turns to the party, Lets get moving. We have a Tim to see.
Jul 30, 2019 3:54 pm
Trissire nods, wondering what sort of situation is at hand. "Indeed. A mischievious sprirt is capable of much, to ignore is folly.
Jul 31, 2019 4:45 pm
The sergeant salutes you Fantastic thanks! The village is just another few hours down the road. There is a room inside the guard tower if you'd like to rest for a bit first and share our water, but you might want to leave earlier to reach the village before nightfall.
Jul 31, 2019 7:28 pm
Laura smiles before turning to head on their, Many thanks but we leaving now for the village. Make sure we get there before nightfall. I could really us something stiffer than water She seems to be rather direct in wanting to get to Juniper.
Aug 1, 2019 3:21 am
"Our spirits are restless, farewell men of the sword!" Trissrie waves the soldiers goodbye as she follows after Laura.
Aug 1, 2019 12:34 pm
Cinead falls in behind Trissrie. A rest had sounded nice but it is probably best to get to town before much longer. Then he could have a proper drink. After they get a little ways off he finally speaks up.
It is not often I hear soldiers gripe like that. I guess being in the middle of nowhere loosens the tongue a bit.
Aug 1, 2019 6:03 pm
"Isolation can change a person, enervate their will. It is...sad." Trissrie's reflects on her own experience of being lost, she is glad those days are over.
Aug 4, 2019 6:44 pm
You fall into conversation as you get your feet back to the road. It seems to be getting warmer even though the sun is going down. A thin cloud of dust seems to be rising up from the road even where nobody is walking. A few clouds swim lazily by overhead, racing you to your destination. You seem to be losing that race, despite your best efforts to keep up a lively pace. The trail ahead seems to rise and dip a bit more than you'd expect from this relatively flat landscape. As you crest one of these small hills, you see a man lying on the ground about one hundred feet in front of you. Lying on his back, he is staring up at the clouds. He seems to be muttering quietly to himself as he gently waves his arms back and forth along the dirt, as if he were swimming.
Aug 4, 2019 7:04 pm
Laura calls us all to a halt, She begins to look around rather suspiciously. Appears she smells a trap. She didn't get any closer then just enough to ID that he was alive seeing his odd movements as she looks about.

You look around from this high vantage point. You spot a few smaller tracks coming off the main road that lead off to what appear to be farms. Far to the southeast you think you can even see the edge of the Fingerfrost woods. Directly ahead down the road you spot a few buildings that must be Juniper Village. But looking closely at this individual and the area around him, you don't see anything out of the ordinary other than the man himself. He appears to be wearing thick woolen garb, common to the farmers of the area. Straining your ears you are able to just make out one of the words he is continually repeating. Sure enough, it's "Tim." The rest of his speech is very stunted and stuttering, making it too hard to make out at this distance.

Cautious Laura will go to "Tim" to see what she can do for him. Tim. What happened to you?

Trissrie very gently kneels down, patting him on the back in a reassuring manner. "Speak no more, we shall root out this Tim and his machinations."
Aug 9, 2019 1:13 pm
He stops flailing about and looks up at Trissrie and smiles weakly. Yes! You understand. Bless you, you sweet monkey elf. He lays back and stares up at the sky. A tear trickles down one of his cheeks. He breathes slowly for a few minutes, and then calmly gets up and starts to walk off the road due west.
Aug 9, 2019 1:26 pm
What do you make of that? Appears Laura is a touch miffed by his actions.
Aug 9, 2019 2:46 pm
It seems that this Tim person has insinuated himself into the town and is affecting its citizens. Cinead turns to look at Zila with a dark look on his face. He has been gripping his staff so tight that his knuckles have turned white. Do you know anything about this, Zila. Any thing you may have seen that could help us?

After speaking he seems to relax a little, taking measures breathes and easing his grip on the staff.
Aug 9, 2019 3:13 pm
Zila blushes a little. Unfortunately, my vision is very limited right now. My predictions come to me in a wild fashion, with high specificity and clarity, but usually not about things that are so useful or actionable. She pauses for a momentThis is why I need to meet the great oracle. Surely there is more significance in my future than predicting that you will find a torn shirt in a tree in three days.
Aug 9, 2019 11:27 pm
I do hope it is not my shirt. I only have a few these days. Cinead hopes his joke lightens the mood. Either way, let's get to town and see what is what.

Yeah. We have tarried too long here as it is. Laura will lead the way into town.

Aug 12, 2019 2:14 am
You travel on for a short while longer and the village comes clearly into view before you. A rest stop on the way from Emzah to Nahor, Juniper looks like an idyllic village. People are wrapping up their work from the day and seem to be gravitating toward what appears to be a tavern. You definitely pick up on the fact that a few of them are mumbling about how great Tim is, but without any real conviction. Across the village square from the tavern is what you would expect to be the mayor's house. A crudely painted sign is hanging over the door:
https://i.imgur.com/deAikAA.png?1

Laura thinks and says This is not good.

Glancing about I think we should spend at last time as possible here. as she sees the sign.
Aug 12, 2019 5:47 pm
"These poor souls, their cries for help will go unnoticed should we scatter." Trissrie has decided to keep mostly quiet while they remain in the village, fighting an urge to try and help everyone while they remain fixated on Tim.
Aug 12, 2019 6:14 pm
A morose looking girl comes out of the tavern carrying a tray heaped with cheeses and a full decanter of wine. She looks up at your party without much emotion. you should all leave. There's nothing anyone can do to help us. Just don't let Tim catch you. He is too powerful. Tim is great. she drones in a monotone. She then opens the door to Tim's Place and carries the tray in. Before the door closes you hear a load and screechy voice from inside You're late! I've been waiting for... the sound cuts off as the door closes behind her.
Zila looks to you Surely there is something we could do? We must find out what is plaguing these poor people. This is not right. It could take days before anyone from the empire comes to deal with this and I believe we may be more well equipped than whomever Nahor is able to spare for this.
Aug 12, 2019 9:11 pm
Laura grimaces, This is not on my bill of affairs to deal with.

She adds on I am wondering how a Tim could terrorize an entire town.
Aug 13, 2019 11:02 pm
"Come now Laura, we should extend hospitality to everyone in need lest apathy overtakes us." Trissrie looks at the entrance to Tim's place, intent on entering.
Aug 13, 2019 11:05 pm
She gives in, Fine. Take a look at the situation. Laura will walk in the place to see what is what.
Aug 14, 2019 2:30 pm
It is hard for me to turn down the chance to help as well. Thank you for agreeing, Laura.
Cinead had hoped to rest but it looks like Tim needs to be taken care of first.
Aug 16, 2019 7:48 am
As you pass the threshold to "Tim's Place" you are immediately hit with the smell of refuse. Looking around, you see that there is partially eaten food around the room in small heaps. At the end of a long hall, you see the morose girl bowing before a makeshift throne, seemingly cobbled together by pieces of furniture that might have previously populated this home. On the throne sits a goblin dressed in a motley of oversized silk and linen robes and weighed down slightly by golden necklaces and bracelets. He carries a scepter that bears his own hideous likeness on the end. Even on the throne, his face is just level with hers. He knocks the tray from her hands as his screechy voice rings out SWISS! I hate swiss! I've told you people a thousand times! NEVER send me swiss! The girl looks off the side with her dead eyes as she rasps We have never heard the word "swiss" before you came here. We still don't know what it is. He clobbers her in the head with his staff and she winces in pain. Its not MY job to EXPLAIN to you how to do YOUR job! Now go get me cheeses and do it right this time!! He shoves her back and she starts to turn back toward the door. He seems to notice your party for the first time. Ah who is this? New recruits? Why don't you come in and I'll teach you about how great I am?

The goblin smiles pleasantly at your group. Ah let met tell you my friends. I used to be a regular goblin, maybe even less than regular. I was the runt. Treated as worthless. One day, I had just had enough! I resolved to do something to change my situation. Thats when the spirit started speaking to me. It told me about the power I could wield, if only I let it join with me. He pauses a moment to clear some phlegm from his throat. Well, as soon as the spirit entered my body, I had all sorts of POWER! I didn't have to hang around the worthless rats that had abused me for so long. I taught them a lesson and came here. People seem to love me and I can't get enough of it!! He sighs dreamily and looks around at his collections. It's true what they say. Just wait around long enough doing nothing and suddenly everything will change for the better. He leans forward a bit and looks each of you closely in the eye. So! What presents did you bring me??

Trissrie is a bit lost for words at this peculiar encounter, half expecting it to be a child. Still, it would be wise to gain their favor, at least until they can understand how to remedy the situation. "We bring...good tidings and gifts. As an emissary of Din Napisti I possess blessings which can be parted unto you. A sovereign ruler traditionally may also partake in riches, to adorn themselves in all their majesty."

Laura- You didn't think the joke was remotely funny, but something comes over you and you find yourself unable to restrain the stream of laughter that bursts forth from you. You find that you can't stop laughing and it almost hurts as your body convulses. You fall the floor, still giggling uncontrollably. The goblin smiles appreciatively. I love a good audience! You guys are great! Just like that, you feel the effect fade and you regain your composure. He turns his attention to Barrot and Cinaed How about you folks? What have you brought for me? Better be good.
Barrot seems uninterested in responding and just grunts as he inspects the room. This seems to bother the goblin, who seems to not have noticed Zila yet.

Laura- Thinking through some of the epics you are familiar with, the goblin's story is only slightly different. It would be more consistent to say he is possessed by some spirit rather than any form of partnership. Supposedly the entire costume is just for show. You also recall these spirits being more mischievous rather than dangerous.

Cinaed- You are self-confident enough that this little goblin's jibes don't really cut into you at all. You resist all effects from his spell.

The goblin scowls at Cinaed a bit, disappointed he didn't get a stronger reaction. You losers should move along. Go out and bring me something of great value. I grow bored of you.

Wanting to protect her companions from whatever demon is here she gets right behind Laura, Giving her shoulder a firm, but quick, squeeze. Trissrie's arm feels unnaturally cold. "Abandon this pursuit fiend!"
Sep 4, 2019 1:48 pm
Laura- you are now protected from good and from evil. Among the spell's effects, you cannot be charmed by Tim for the duration of the spell!

Zila looks around frantically I have almost no power left! I'm afraid I can't help much in this battle.

I would go for more recruits.

Okay, lets see if we can knock out this goblin first
Cinaed freezes up and just stands slack-jawed. Suddenly, his eyes light up as he sits down. Tim. Tim is great! I love Tim. What a wonderful Tim he is.
The goblin uses his bonus action to disengage. He deftly slips between Laura and Barrot and runs across the room. He then calls out to Laura "Hey! I bet you bards just go on adventure for the lute! For the lute!!! GET IT?!
Laura- Your mouth starts to quirk into a smile involuntarily at this awful pun and lame delivery. Please make a wisdom save.
Sep 17, 2019 9:59 pm
Bummer rodent goblin can disengage and still up abilities....WIS Save... me thinks Laura didn't make that one.

Laura breaks down laughing uncontrollably. Wiping tears from your eyes, you beat your fist to the ground as you sink down to the floor.

Barrot spends his turn praising Tim, but finally snaps out of it. Laura- you can repeat your saving throw, but other than that you miss a turn. Then its Trissrie's go

Watching her companions all suffer the same fate is a most concerning sight, Trissrie is starting to consider a tactical retreat. "I fear our enemies overwhelm us!" Despite this fear she still tries to press the attack, if only to protect the others. Quickly grabbing her amulet the familiar jingle of a bell fills the air.

While Laura is still caught in fits of laughter, Trissrie manages to resist the goblin's charm. A tolling sound rings out, reverberating around the goblin.
The goblin doubles over in pain. Blood trickles out from his lips and he laughs a bit.

As the goblin loses control of the spell afflicting Laura, his skin starts to stretch and peel away. The goblin's entire body suddenly explodes in a mess of blood and gore. An orange shimmering light floats where the goblin's body just recently stood. Barrot shrinks back for a moment at the sight, his mouth slightly ajar. The orange light twists through the air and rushes into Barrot's open mouth and nose. Cinaed still stares off into the distance mumbling about Tim, seeming not to notice the horrible changes affecting his companion. Barrot laughs uncharacteristically and smiles at Laura standing before him.
As the wind dies down, Laura and Trissrie notice some humanoid body parts now sticking out from some of the garbage heaps and it looks like they might be alive.

Laura gets her bearing back and watches as the mess unfolds, she mumbers to herself This just isn't happening.

She advances on Barrot, Get OUT! For lack of a good club, she draws up a dagger in her hands, but changes her mind and instead sings a fast sleepy melody at Barrot as she holds her dagger tightly in her hands.

After witnessing such a terrifying display Trissrie suddenly worries for Cinead, knowing he might suffer the same fate. Approaching him, Trissrie grasps him by the shoulders and administers a light jostling of his body.

"Arise my friend, quickly!" Trissrie makes sure not to yell too loudly, in case Barret wakes up.
Oct 3, 2019 5:59 pm
Laura seeing that Trissrie in the right state of mind and she herself is looking about, Lets find something to lash Barrot down with and probably need to gag him. I remember how the Goblin was.

Trissrie- The color returns a bit to Cinaed's face. Aaugh! He jumps back a bit from Trissrie. What's going on? Where are we?

Laura- searching around, you see some torn sheets and clothes that you think you could use as lashing in one of the piles of garbage. There seems to be a human arm clad in chain armor twitching slightly under the garbage heap.

Time left on sleep spell: 54 seconds.
OOC:
If Trissrie and Laura can each give movement/action, I'll count that as 6 seconds for each round.
Oct 3, 2019 6:30 pm
Laura has already noted the possible person to deal with, but taking care of Barrot has rated higher. She quickly grabs the cloth and with her trusty dagger, she warps up Barrot good travel with and he isn't going say anything either. A quick eye will note that Laura seems very much knowledgeable about trying up Barrot. A good guess would say she has done it a time or three.

She looks over to Trissrie, Is Cinead good or do I cut some more cloth?

Trissrie smiles warmly at Cinead. "Tranquility my friend. Your mind was possessed, it is good to see you out of such a stupor." With that out of the way Trissrie looks between Laura and Barrot before turning back to Cinead, catching him up. "We should scour for an exorcist, so that the devil's influence can be no more."
Oct 3, 2019 7:57 pm
Seeing situation is calmer and she resists the urge to kick Barrot, as she goes over to find out who is in the pile. She quickly clears away the mess to view this unfortunate. She will eye him over.

Laura- you've uncovered what appears to be a masked humanoid wearing blackened chain armor. He doesn't seem to be conscious.

Sandelfon sent a note to deadpool_qc
Cinaed shakes his head I don't remember how we got here. How many days has it been since we left Nahor? Last thing I remember was fighting an ogre. He shakes his head again. Why is there garbage everywhere?

Sweat is starting to form on Barrot's brow and he grunts a bit in his sleep. There are ~30 seconds left until the sleep spell wears off.
Oct 3, 2019 8:14 pm
Laura reaches down and unmask the garbage man to see his race and person. Laura deals a lot with people for one reason or another. She checks out is blackened chain as well and if he has any weapons.
Oct 3, 2019 10:16 pm
Waking as he is unmasked, Jayne reaches to stop her a few seconds late, grabbing her wrist after the deed is done...
"Sorry you had to see that ugly mug of mine lady..." says a man with a face full of scars and burns, his left eye covered with a milky shadow. "Don't suppose you saw two of my friends laying around did you ?". Realizing he is holding her wrist he releases her, "Well at least you're clearly not a goblin ! Name's Jayne Cobb, but you can call me ballista..." While speaking, he pulls a massive crossbow from the garbage beside him.

Eyeing him, and was till he released her wrist. That was a hard stare. Don't care really what you look like ballista. Just was checking to see if your were alive mostly. after a pause, I don't deal with the dead to much.

Looking over his gear and what not, Laura. I don't have plans to stay in this town any more. If you like to come along it seems your fit enough.

Looking over to Trissrie & Cinaed, Lets get Barrot moving and leave this forbid able place with haste. And no more side runs. This was bad enough.

Laura looks about to see if there is anything that she like to take with her before she leaves this place. She has zero problems looting this place right now. And perhaps the "TIM GOBLIN" manage to get some good loot. She has a fairly empty backpack and two sacks that are fillable. You can see that she is prepared if she just happened on a pile of loot.
OOC:
(Each can hold about 30# of loot.) (coins are nice :) 50 coins to the pound.)
OOC:
Barrot has just enough length between his legs to walk slowly. His hands are tired behind his back. His mouth is well gagged. She fully intended for him to be able to walk. She knows hat the sleep is going to wear off very soon.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Recap of her:

Laura Lambburg. Bard. Female. Human. (Can heal and use thieves' tools.)

Laura is that tall (6') sexy lady that you just can't help but want her to talk to you. She is a green eyed beauty with slight longer straight black hair. She sports a tan complexion and is rather lean. She appears to be in her late teens or early twenties in age. If your shy with pretty women, your going to have a problem.

She is wearing studded leather and has a defensive shield too over her back. There is a rapier to her side and a dagger in her boots that says she is no common person. There is a lute over her back and sometimes a shawm in her mouth playing.
