|AC: 17 | HP: 62/62 Nox jerked awake again, this time it seemed as though it was time to get up. With as many times as she woke up and the bad dreams, it was a wonder she got any sleep at all. She mumbled a slur of curses that was hard to understand because they weren't given much volume and said with a sleepy mouth. Last night was particularly rough. The nightmares were getting worse and this time they had whatever her brain thought was ghostbeasts in them. She had murder in her eyes, "Let's get this bloody trip over with.", the words are spit out and only a little easier to understand then the curses, the difference being volume.

Alright. Lets talk trained and untrained skills. I am looking to add skill ranks to Knowledge (Religion). I mean it makes sense to me, the group has come across some undead, she now has favored enemy (undead). If I put a skill rank into the skill, will it become trained? If not, then there is no point in putting ranks into it right? because she can only really get as high as a 10 on it no matter what she rolls because it would be untrained, right?

thanks

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 Piper gives Farah some space, not particularly because she was a cat, but because it looked like the pies she ate might escape their prison. "So big!" , Piper states the obvious when she sees the turtles and blinked a few times, not really seeing 'adorable'. She cocks her head and listens to Namira, she seemed to know a thing or two about these large creatures. Something to bribe the turtles sounded like a sound idea, what better motivator then food? The kenku figured said food would cost some money, so she got her gold purse ready.

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 Piper cheers along with the crowd, although her energy seems to have gone down a bit. Her eyes take on a heavy look like she could fall asleep at any moment. Her sleepy eyes look at the human that spoke to her and she shows a big open mouthed smile, "Yeah! Those pies were delicious! I've never tried to compete by eating a lot of food before. Don't take much to feel this small stomach though, ha!" , she gives her stomach a pat. As small as she was, the stomach wasn't big either, to her it felt twice her size with as full as it was. "That blue one with the hair like a cloud kept up with the cat and Wandile though! She is smaller than me but ate so many pies! I wonder where they all go." Piper looked at Vir for a moment, horrifying? Was watching others eat like that scary to them? The thought perplexed the kenku, but she let it go and her attention went back to the blue-skinned goblin. "Turtle race? I wonder how fast a turtle can really go?" , she pondered. Piper didn't pay much attention to turtles, so she was really curious, "I wanna find out, I'll go to the turtle races. Wandile, you coming too? Oh, I wonder if you can see over the maze... we got to check that out... but would it be any fun if you can see over the maze? Oh, you coming too Vir? Irvan?" "This is my first time here and in a fun festival, I love it so far." A bit of her energy had come back, despite most of it trying to digest, her eyes had regained their wide and shiny gaze.

Ah, added. she made it :D

woo! lvl 5! also wow, lvl 5? I have her at 3 XD Do we do anything special when lvling up? Hp in particular? Roll it? Take half?

She did, she got a whole 2. XD

|AC: 17 | HP: 62/62 "I'll take a place with people right now over anything else at the moment. I need some flipping alcohol.", Nox groused. If the city ahead was what they were looking for, there was a chance there would be no one there. It occurred to Nox that there was perhaps a chance that there might be some abandoned alcohol. She kept the hope to herself and looked around to orient herself as well as looking for threats. She nods along to Antonio, the half-orc wouldn't be surprised at all if what happened in Cyre was some huge explosion of magic. She couldn't help but wonder maybe they would be better without magic, looked at her warforged arm, and wondered if Mace or any warforged would have been able to be made at all without it. Probably not. She gets a little lost in her thoughts, imaging that without magic people would just make something else that was powerfully destructive. Seeing the inn, she gets a bit hopeful, but seeing the people with the covered faces dampens her hope. Feelings mix as she reads the notes. She felt it was very trusting and foolish of Brandon Black to leave the items and a note indicating where they were. Taking things from the dead gave her mixed feelings in general. They were dead and no longer needed them. She could understand wanting to get them to next of kin of the one who died though, but felt that to be near impossible as well. Better to just take them and sell them. The items had just about as likely chance to end up with the dead's loved ones if not more so that way than by one person looking for them. Her hardened face depends into distaste at the mention of ghostbeasts. "Let's make sure to lock up and maybe put something in the way of the door and windows tonight. Don't know if these ghostbeasts are real, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are. It's said they only come out at night, guess they are nocturnal? Heard they have some sort of internal light, but you see right through them." Undead was one thing, these ghostbeasts honestly creeped her out. What if they are the spirts of the dead? She shook ever so slightly as a chill ran up her spin.

XD Part of me wanted Piper to win and eat a whole bunch of pies, really any small character winning will be rather amusing. It is equally amusing that she could only eat one pie.

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 Piper almost floated to where they were eating pies once the smell caught her nose. She eagerly goes to sit in a sit, only to be blocked and requested that she gives 5sp. She hurriedly dug in her coin purse and threw the 5sp at them and popped into a chair. Piper gobbles the first pie and eagerly awaits the other, but once it is placed before her she realizes that her gut is rather full. She eats as much of the second pie as she can, but has to call it. Piper gets rushed off her chair to make room for another contestant. She lets out a mighty burp and feels as if she could just roll where ever she wanted to go. Being done with her pie eating, she takes note of some of the other contestants. One had really fluffy hair that looked like it could make a delightful nest. There was another that looked like she might could eat Piper, but that wasn't really anything new. There was a lot of things bigger then the tengu and by that, they could easily eat her.

I will post as soon as I can. the meat is people

|AC: 17 | HP: 35/35 Were they really so far north? Nox wanted to beat the crap out of the undead soldiers, but it was a fight they could avoid and probably should. As they entered back in the mist, she flicked the undead off.

The group dont really know that though, we dont know where tf we are XD Looks like there is a chance we might run into more zombie guards :p. we will try to avoid them for now

Where we going? The Floating Gardens? Is that in Karrnath? I'm looking at the map and did we teleport??? Either that or those undead are confused. Karrnath is all the way NE.

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 Piper puffed up their chest at Vir's comment about Piper, she took it as them being intimidated by her. Maybe they have heard of me! "I would like to hear you play, perhaps later today?" The tengu was a bit disappointed that there were no more riddles to be had, but looked forward to the pie contest. "To eating pie until our stomachs are as big as a whole pig!" She jumped a bit as the kobold exclaimed their interest in the pies, she had been too caught up and didn't really notice the walking armor. Piper may have even mistook the kobold as just armor that had been set up for some reason or another. "You look funny. " , was the immediate reply and she stared at Garn for a good minute or two, both somewhat baffled by all the armor they wore and what they said. She talked funny? What did that mean? "I was not meaning to talk funny." She was confused for a moment, if she talked funny wouldn't that make someone laugh? No one laughed and she did not tell a joke. Piper shrugged her small feathered shoulders, as if to shrug the comment and everything that came with it right off.

Cool. Pies then! :9

is it safe to assume that once a competition is won, there wont be another of the same type?

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 " 'Ello there! I am the ever talented bard Piper and this is the strong champion of arms, Wandile! So, are you the champion of riddle or rhyme? Or is it riddles with rhymes? Rhymes with riddles? Answering riddles with rhymes?", Piper asked excitedly, curious about what the competition is about.

|AC: 17 | HP: 35/35 Nox's eyes narrowed at the sight of undead, it made her gut turn with the fact that people used these things. She could understand the logic, but wondered at how it would be if she was one or if one of her loved ones were undead. She wasn't really sure how to react to these things that acted like guards or more like a border control, so she left it up to her companions to answer. She didn't like the thought of a conflict with them, if they could avoid it. With To'Nari leading the answer, she digs in her bag for her own papers. "Nox.", she answers for her name and holds her papers out for them to be looked over. She gritted her teeth at the question of who Bonesetter belonged to, but holds her tongue.

Is it known that they patrol around? Are they normally treated as authority?

whelp, Nox dont know much of anything with a 5. We have papers, right? Not sure if we actually want to bother showing said papers, but we got something, right?

|AC: 17 | HP: 35/35 Nox wakes with a start and takes a swing at To'Nari, which goes wide and only manages to pass through the air. She shakes her head and immediately regrets doing so, her hand goes to her head as pain shot through it like a bullet. "What.... WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED?! WHERE AM I?! WHY CAN'T I HEAR MYSELF?!", she looks around wildly. Did she lose her hearing? Her brain caught up a bit and remembered where she was and where she was going. She was a bit lost at what happened though. Everyone was accounted for, although they looked a bit roughed up. She didn't figure it was an exposition or a monster, no one looked like they were in a fight as far as she could tell. Her brain finally remembered the mental link and gave it a try. "What happened? All I remember is noise and pain... and electricity? Sorry I tried to punch you Nari." As they made it out of the mist, Nox took a deep breath of relief. It was good to be out of there for sure. She almost didn't care where they were. She was even more grateful when she noticed her hearing coming back. "Thanks Bonesetter, I feel like I'm as good as I can be." , the slightest of an upturn seems to twitch on her mouth. Was that an attempt at a smile? Or just a twitch? Hearing the clanking, she immediately remembered the warforged that was likely still following them and wondered if it was them. Not one to assume, "Warden, is that you?", she calls out. ---------------------------------- * Recovered 8hp from good berry wine + 13= 21 * Recovers 20 more from Bonesetter = full health -----------------------------------

heh, should i roll a will save that Nox doesnt drink the whole bottle?

~ HP: 21/21 | AC: 16 | Pass percep: 14 Piper is only slightly disappointed that Wandile doesn't take the challenge. It was smart though and followed the rules of what he had to follow, so it was only right. She nods to herself and watches the other two, "Will the new challenger get to face the mighty champion?" , she pauses only for a moment as the question was answered. "There you have it one and all! The new challenger is denied! The champ need not bother! Wandile! Wandile! Wandile!", she chanted as she jumped up and down. She looked overly pleased as Wandile paid her credit. She cocks her head to the side and stares at Wandile for a moment, thinking about his question. She did not believe she was a good swimmer of any sort, so it was not hard to turn that down. That left the meat-pie eating contest and the riddles and rhymes. Eating a whole bunch of meat-pies had its allure and even though Piper actually wasn't that sure about her ability to answer riddles, it was still rather tempting. Why couldn't there be a performance contest? She wouldn't have any trouble deciding what to do then. "I wouldn't mind checking out the riddles and rhymes. You like pies? Maybe after checking the riddles and rhymes we can both eat some pies?" If she could convince Wandile to want to do the eating contest, then they both could enter and she would get to do both the things she was tempted to do. "I bet you could put a ton of pies away!"
