“My words,” Kain Dorset says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Sir Kain Dorset thinks. | My actions . . .
Upon moving into the tavern Kain moves to the side, once again allowing the others to move on down first. He keeps his sword drawn, but pointed at the floor in case the undead come upon them faster than expected. Once the last of his new friends makes their way to the stairs he will follow.

“My words,” Kain Dorset says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Sir Kain Dorset thinks. | My actions . . .
Kain whistles a bird song like sound, and it is returned in a moment. Amelia, Elora and Mia all move into view from behind the group. Kain quickly motions for his friends and followers to follow Willa and the others, making sure he will be the rear guard for them all. A knights duty is to his people... Even if they aren't my underlings, they are my friends, and my people. Kain raises his blade and shield in a defensive position, ready to move when the others have, or at any threat that will catch up.

sorry for hogging the dialog, but I assume a Noble would lol.

Seeing the archers lower their aim was at least a small comfort. They would not be attacked, at least not yet. Moving his shield once again to a lower position, the tip of Kain's sword touches the ground now, showing a swordsman at rest. "I admit I know little of these lands, mostly what I have been told by some who have basic knowledge. I have seen some undead, and we have seen signs of some "Talons" and though I am familiar with undead I know not of the Talons besides their handiwork with any who choose to oppose them." Kain smiles and shakes his head a bit. "Alas I am explaining myself rather than giving you an answer, I apologize. Years of court upbringing and being taught to talk around the truth or answers.
I see knowledge, and perhaps some safety for those who travel with me, even if just for a short while. I do not expect it will be free, but one of my followers can cook with almost any ingredients, and another can maintain and repair almost any damage to your armor and weapons given time and tools."
Kain looks back to those who are near by; "I can not fully speak for my friends, so I shall let them speak their minds, and ask their questions first... If you will allow us Lady Willa."

“My words,” Kain Dorset says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Sir Kain Dorset thinks. | My actions . . .
Kain moves his shield to his side, and lowers the tip of his sword to the ground. "Greetings Willa, as I stated, my name is Ser Kain Dorset, my linage will need to wait. We are here not because we are from these lands, not all of us, but because an elf named Ardir Haliluea told us it might be safe here with some people he knew. That was of course before he was taken by the mists."
Kain shifts in his armor, making sure he is limber and ready to move as quickly as needed. "I understand the need for caution in these times and with all the constant threats, and I would sheath my sword to parley as chivalry demands, but I really would prefer if your archers you have hidden over there would take it a bit easy. As a knight I refuse to sheath my sword while I am still confronted by a threat to my life, or one of those I protect, as I hope you fellow warriors understand." Kain points up to the area he heard movement with his shield, hoping his companions would take note and be ready of the possible ambush or perhaps be capable of stopping the ambush if it started.
"But alas, I do hope we might continue to be cordial and keep to a bloodless parley, even should it seem we both must keep some weapons out and ready." Kain smiles at Willa, a genuine smile of true happiness, at his first sight of a non-monster in days.

I don't know if I might get a bonus or a negative for saying I am a Noble, but most nobles are proud of their heritage and so is Kain lol

Kain Moves his shield suddenly to a defensive position as he moves his sword up as well. "We are not alone, we are being watched." His eyes keep scanning the ruins around them. "If you are concerned about who we are, we are not from these lands, we are not Talons, we do not bear their mark. We are not your enemies. My name is Ser Kain Dorset, on my honor as a Noble, if you reveal yourselves to us, even just one of you as a mouth piece, we will not attack you unless you inflict harm first."
Kain keeps looking around for any movement, hoping the eyes on them were human and not a swarm of undead, but either way, he was ready.

lol I love that!

Perception: Nat 20!
Reminds me of my old dm when I rolled a Nat 20 on perception one day. He started to describe that I saw giants above the clouds, with handfuls of colorful carved rocks, towering beverages of brown and green, and lots of papers scattered around. Then my vision went back to the world around me and I saw what I was trying to see. I was the only one who saw the "Giants" lol
He used to do silly stuff like that a lot. I miss him

Kain frowns as the dog moves away out of sight, but stands and puts the ration away. So... Not necessarily feral, but not friendly either. He turns back to the building where his retainers entered and moves over to the door. "I will join the others in searching for any survivors, keep low and quiet, should anything happen, call for me." Kain places his shield on his left arm, and draws his blade moving over to the group.
"I am ready should we encounter anything." Kain then moves forward into the ruins.

“My words,” Kain Dorset says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Sir Kain Dorset thinks. | My actions . . .
The past few days had been hard, the near constant moving and fighting. Kain was used to this kind of life style, his days of training to be a knight had hardened him and made him resilient to fatigue. In fact Kain's mind was not on himself, but his followers. Amelia Silver, his squire, needed these hard days to sculpt her into a true knight, but his other retainers... They were not so used to hard life, nor were they used to the horrors they had recently seen. Seeing others he had only briefly seen at the Inn Kain gives a soldiers salute to them before turning to his ladies.
"Elora, Mia, please take a few minuets to compose yourselves. Just inside the walls are a few burned out buildings, Amelia please go with them and make sure the area is safe for a break."
"Aye Kain, I will. Come ladies, lets take a load off and see to possibly getting a bit to eat." Amelia places a hand on her sword before leading the others into the closest building. Even without much of a roof, the stone walls would allow for them to rest a bit.
The others started to mingle but Kain had only just barely met them, and was not really familiar with any of the new group. Moving into town a bit Kain pulls out a ration bar and moves closer to the dog. It looked neglected and in need of a meal. "Perhaps we can keep it, train it to help alert us of near by threats?" Kains mind wanders a bit as he approaches, crouched low and hand outstretched with the ration.

Perhaps Max makes more sense, this setting and campaign is meant to be very difficult and deadly.

Kain appears to be our main frontliner at this time, so changing him would be changing one deficiency for another.
I will remain Kain then, hopefully fullplate and a tower shield is in my future! Just imagine Kain as a proper tank!
-
If needed, I can turn Kain into the other version I made, a dragon Sorcerer. It would mean Kain and his people leaving, but more magic for us.

I'm generally not a fan of 1st level characters. They can't do much, and, in this case, the abilities they pick up upon selecting a subclass is, mechanically, totally unrelated to what had come before.
This, this right here. I have played D&D since TSR 2e AD&D. I have so many level 1 characters I could wallpaper my house with them. In 3.5 its a bit easier to be lvl 1 as you can have (with a few flaws and such) a really decent sorcerer build for example (6d6 damage spell!). But I know so little about 5e I admit I am at a loss. Most of the interesting bits seem locked behind 3rd level and onward.
Not trying to put down on this game or its choice to be level 1, just that its not my favorite thing. Hopefully we will have some exp and role play opportunities once we reach a town!
-
I am still interested, but my knowledge sits firmly in 3.5 not 5e and it makes me a bit unsure what to do next besides post something akin to "Kain listens to the others and says nothing" over and over again to show I am still here and interested.
Not to mention we have no group leader, or any kind of coherence that an actual group thrust into a very deadly place would have formed for safety.
I am trying not to be bossy and take over (even though I am playing a noble he isn't that kind of a person), so I am trying to give others the chance to post for themselves, but it does seem as though most of our group has dropped out too.
-
Still here, Kain isn't a survival type person, so I was hoping someone else would take charge here.
Group really needs a leader really, someone who keeps us moving and makes the calls
-
even though Kain is a Noble, I don't want him comming off as commanding to everyone so I have been trying to find a way to word this post lol.
Its up now.

Kain has been looking back at Oma's place for some time, the cogs turning in his head, his hand firmly on his sword, ready to go fight in a moments notice. Then he sighs, releasing his sword and rubbing his temples. He moves in front of the group and holds up a hand, signaling he wishes to speak.
"Look, I think we need just a moment to speak. I *was* all ready to go kill Oma for what she has done, and believe me I still am, but *only* if we have a plan that actually makes sense! First, we need a leader, someone who can command the battle and shift the plan should it fail. We need to take account of our gifts or powers or whatever you want to call them. It also looks like you all need some basic magic education. Most charm spells do not require you to hear for it to take hold. The mud in your ears will not help, only hinder should we need to communicate."
Kain looks back once more for a moment before returning his eyes to the group. "The second thing we need is information to for that plan and I have some for you all. Oma is a Hag. Not sure what kind but everything lines up, she is some kind of a hag, maybe even a half-breed. She has a lair too, I saw it while you all were charmed. I believe Oma, as a hag, will be down in her lair should we go charging in there right now as she must be aware the charm wore off, and as cunning as hags are, she would assume we would go after her. Knowing these bits of information, lets hear a plan before we rush in and trigger her trap."

its all good!

I can have Kain help him. Make him close his eyes and be guided by Kain if it helps. Just didn't want to try and force it either. If there is another way, Kain will join him, as the others will be together making it a safer group, and Kain is a tank, Karlov is a cleric... Perfect mini group.
