Sundust

I hustle over to the woman and boy, sheathing my pistol and holding my hands out for calm. "He's perfectly harmless, I promise," I sputter in English. "I mean... To the right people..." My face gets scrunched up with effort. I make a horizontal circle in the air with my hands, as though to point to all of us all at once. "We-e-e..." I put both my hands on my chest. "Lov-v-v-e..." I then point straight at Dijon. "Dijon!"

"HEY DIJON!" I wave a pistol toward the skeleton in the back. "He always thinks he can hide..." I step closer to Priela and face Father Friedrich. "I'm also wondering about the mother. Any news?"

"So we did a good job then?" I wink at Aleah." "At first, we were worried it was a trap! Boy screaming in the middle of the darkness, calling for help..." I wave my arms in exasperation. "And then we see this gremlin - the ugliest little cretin you ever saw - until Priela's sword slices its head clean off!" I make a wide, strong motion as though swinging a great, heavy sword. "I hope his cat is ok." I look with puppy-dog eyes toward the animal. "I tried to heal it." "Hey Mihaly..." I twist my face with thought. "Can you ask the boy whether he saw anything else? Or heard anything else? Like, does he have any other information for us?" "I'm also wondering if we should head back there and try to track where that thing came from..."

Thanks for that, by the way. I was busy with work for a bit, there... but I'm here!

I stare a little too much at Ian. "Looking like that, and no manners?" I whisper to Lastolva. "Your mama!" I exclaim to the boy. "Come on! Let's go!" I pick up the pace, waving the boy after me. I conjure a new set of lights to dance around us as we go.

Classes - which are allowed? Races - which are allowed? Pets (eidolons, phantoms, constructs, purchased animals, etc.) - is there a maximum number allowed? Are pet classes frowned upon? Alignment - enforced? For example, is a neutral paladin allowed? Will a good cleric lose all abilities from, say, using poison? Class stereotypes - enforced? For example, will clerics be expected to heal and Druids expected to be nature experts? X to Y - frowned upon? Examples include Nature's Whispers (Oracle revelation), Orator (feat), and Student of Philosophy (trait).

"You see them, too?!" I shout at Lastolva. "Tracks!" I point my finger at my eye and mumble softly to tidy itPrestidigitation to clean my eye and surrounding area. I hear the radio call. "I guess we'll have to follow them another day." I summon a new batch of dancing lights and walk toward the patrol-change point.

I start to walk about, looking for any tracks that the abomination might have left behind.

"And I'm Mandy," I say in English. I sheathe my pistol and smile at the boy.

"It's a nuglub! I know these creatures!" My music stops, making the forest quiet again. "They're, like, little evil fey. Ever see the movie ? They're kinda like that, just - well, furrier and - " I lift up one of its arms and let it flop back to the ground - "bigger." "Realllly sneaky... I'm surprised to see one alone." I snap my fingers to a 4-beat rhythm, generating 4 floating lights that dance around us in a circle. I point my pistol toward the lights, following them in a sweep encircling us - squinting as I peer for others.

Ditto. Standing by.

"What is this thing..."

You all know Mandy. She's famous. ;)

I forgot the +1 from my music, too... Never again!

Not bothering to roll damage on my attack rolls! Note that my 2d attack was a critical failure... :)

My gets louder as I rush1st Action: move I assume 1 move action is enough to get within 30' - feel free to correct this assumption! My music lasts 3 rounds on its own. This is round 2 of 3. into the fray! "Take that, and that!" I fire two pistol shots2d Action: strike 3d Action: strike (at -4, agile weapon) at the ugly mass.

Placeholder for now

Zette hovers by Fenza's should and whispers somethingSecret Language (Speak with Master) in her ear. I roll my eyes in response to the whisper and sigh. I re-address the pixie. "I mean, I'm sure it was just a manner of speech and playful banter. My name is Firenzabella Sendarine - or Fenza, as my friends call me - and as you may, too." I nod respectfully toward. "This is Zette" - I motion to my suddenly beaming pest - "and I have just met this fine lady Quotara, who is here for the same reason I believe most of us are." "I in fact have great admiration for those with the kinds of skills I imagine you have. They can be quite handy while on adventure. It's a pleasure to meet you." I nod to him.

I overhear the small pixie. I turn to Quotara. "Excuse me, just a moment. I'll be right back." Then I stride over toward the pixie, calling out as I walk, "Scallywags and pirates?" I stop before him, my eyebrows contorting. "I beg your pardon, but I am no such thing." Zette sees her Mistress take off and flits up to face Quotara. "She means no offense. Come, if you want - we can't let her pick a fight here!" Zette zips after Fenza.

"Mhm. Mhm." I nod and listen to Quotara, focusing rather intently on her so as not to miss a word. "Wait! Are you saying the bulk of the ironwood boards are interlocked vertically, not horizontally? Doesn't that require a more stressful bending of the wood?" I squint in concentration. "Well, I suppose if they are ironwood, they can handle the additional tension. Still, it would mean more cracks!" I point a finger toward her, with a grin. "More chances of a leak. Especially in combat." Zette turns back into her normal self to answer the cat. "Green. Definitely green, but brighter. Like this -" she reverts to a ball, brightens her white light, and returns to her normal form - "but green."

Ok! I think Fenza and Zette are both now complete - gear, spells, and all!

Thank you! Yes, I meant -4 for str. Sorry for the typo - but it's fixed on the charsheet. I'll add the +1 bump, too.

From "Pets" Content"Take whatever creature you are dealing with and reverse-engineer its attributes as follows: Derive its attribute mods as though it were built on an array of 3 10’s and 3 11’s: subtract 11 from odd-valued attributes and 10 from even-valued. There should be exactly three of each; if there aren’t, contact me to figure out what to do." The published coure eladrin stats are 6 str, 24 dex, 12, 12, 10, 14. There aren't 3 odd-numbered and 3 even-numbered. What should I do? What I have tentatively done is assumed a base 10 for every stat and reverse-calculated the racial modifier. That got me racial mods of: -2 str, +14 dex, +2, +2, +0, +4. I used a 15-point-buy over base 8 across every stat (for 14, 10, 8, 8, 8, 14) and, after the point-buy, added in the racial mods (for 10, 24, 10, 10, 8, 18). Is this acceptable/correct? Sorry for the last-minute question. Fenza's familiar should be the last piece of her puzzle.

Thank you! I'll revise.
