Continuing the discussion with Arden, Elrod shakes his head. "No. I hadn't ever left my clan compound for much more than to watch the adults with their hunting, though. When I turned 15, and officially completed my apprenticeship, became a man, I ran off to join the Silver Hawks, so this is the first time I've really been anywhere."
To D, he comments, "It can't carry us both, unless you weigh less than about a hundred and fifty pounds. I could command it to fly up there, and drop you off, though, then fly back to me. I can pilot it, sort of, without actually being on it. You'd just need to sit on it when I told the broom where to go. But it would probably be easier if I just flew up there and looked around, unless you really want to go up there."

Hunni Ravenwing, of clan Collic
Gully Dwarf Mage of High Sorcery Hexblade Warlock
AC: 18 (Scale Mail+2 Shield +2 Dex) | HP: 40/40 (hd 5d8) | Speed: 30 ft.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common, Gullytalk, Elven, and Dwarven
Hunni raises an eyebrow at Artanis, as though to ask, You forget about me? before mouthing some choice words at him. No words actually come out, she is as silent as the others, which would make more sense if she were actually in the range of the silence spell.
With another eyeroll, the snake returns to the gully, and she utters the command word, suddenly audible, and it returns to its staff form in her hands. Pointedly, she spins on her heel and moves to follow Modi and Meri to the north.

I was thinking about a tortle monk or rogue, until I realized I was imagining a ninja tortle.

Elrod does his best to help with the cleanup, which is actually quite a lot; the dragonblooded warlock is pretty strong, and doesn't seem to mind the work. He chats with Arden as they clear the rubble. "Perhaps it is haunted? Looks haunted. Places like this are probably haunted," he opines, shuddering slightly as he continues working on cleaning the place up.

Hunni rushes around the Giant Constrictor Snake, even as it wraps the soldier up in its coils. She unleashes coils of her own, Jezebel slashing towards the guard, an evil lash of shadow.

The Giant Constrictor Snake attacks again, trying to wrap around the soldier. The coils wrap tightly around the wriggling guard, squeezing and crushing the life from him.

Lazuli Lazali Lulura, AKA Squishy

Resistances: Acid and Poison
Lazuli makes another boneless shrug as the kitten and gith fall away. "Pretty much exactly how I expected that to go," they comment, to whoever happens to be nearby.
Then, they get to work putting out the fire.
During the long trip back, Lazuli continues with their normal activities, although they seem less interested in eating kitty. They take up macrame. Tend their collection of skulls, which seems to be growing suspiciously despite the lack of victims. Try to get everyone to eat their goodberry spores, assuring them all that they are in no way poison. And other duties as assigned.

"Yeah, Yahs. It probably wasn’t a good idea for Lou to wake the prisoner up. Well, live and learn. Or die in space," Lazuli comments, with another undulating shrug.
They then meander over towards the mangonel, menacingly.

Moving between the sky and the earth, the dragonborn agrees with Arden. "Plus, if there are bandits, we should probably see if we can, uh, disperse them," he comments, uncertainly. Now, his appearance is more pale, ghostly, to better match the fog he has been flying through. "If our job is to clear the way for travel, that would seem like a pretty important place to investigate."

As the snake forms, it quickly moves to attempt to wrap itself silently around one of the soldiers. In the excitement, or perhaps the confusion at the sudden action, it misses, and silently hisses its anger. Coils slide off the soldier's armor, as the snake slithers around trying to surround the soldier.

Hunni continues creeping, then moves forward as the others do. As quietly as possible, she utters the command word for her staff, and tosses it to attack the soldiers. The whip at her side curls and writhes in anticipation. The staff silently explodes into snake form, and moves to strike.

Elrod nods to Wilovar, wearing his natural appearance once again. He seems more comfortable, somehow, but really does look younger, at the same time. Perhaps it is his inexperience. "Ruins," he says, his accent causing the sibilant to last a beat too long. "I couldn't see much from this far out, but yes, it should probably be secured eventually. I would probably stay there if I were a bandit."
To D, he nods. "I don't mind, I think taking watch together went well last time. Yes, let's try it."
During the watch, he notices the giggling, and the objects moving. "Um, do you see what I am seeing? Invisible fairies or something? I mean, I don't see them, but there is something..." He is especially alert when he notices his gold missing and returned. "Hello? Is somebody there? Uh, would you like some food or something?" he asks the air, unsure about hospitality in a situation like this.

With a pop and a crackle, Lazuli creates another handful of goodberries, and chomps them all down. Well, I say chomps, but really they just sort of dissolve back into Lazuli's pseudopod over the next minute. "Fancy spear. Think we could attach a mop head to it? It might help Yahs out if she needs to mind-stab someone," they comment, a little bit salty.
"I say we skip the talking, and just stab the bastard until he tells us what we want to know. Or we don't, and just get out of here. His ride's gone anyway, and I don't like the idea of his friends returning to stab me more."

Elrod again flies above, watching, well, trees. He sees tree after tree. Occasionally, there is a bird, or squirrel.
He changes his disguise this time, appearing as a sky-colored cloaked figure, more than anything else, so as to mask his appearance. Mask it from what, he is unsure. Hawks, perhaps. Squirrels.
The Dragonborn comes down to walk occasionally, for a brief bit to stretch his legs, but is otherwise diligent about his flying practice. Near the end of the day, during one of his breaks, he informs the others that there are ruins, and points out the direction.

“Or, don't be reasonable, I guess. That's an option too. Stupid,” they opine, as a long, thin pseudopod covered in spikes shoots forth from their body, attempting to grab on to the rider. The whip then pulls back, pulling the rider off its mount if it hits.

When you say we are in melee, does that mean we are all within 5 feet? Just thinking if I should have Lazuli try a Thorn Whip to knock the guy off his mount.

Fair enough, thanks for letting us know. Life happens.

Qu - Tortle Faction Agent (Harpers) Order of Scribes Wizard
in Archives
Posted · Edited by KingGoblin (see edit history)
Qu - Tortle Faction Agent (Harpers) Order of Scribes Wizard
Name: Qu
Character Concept: A tortle wizard far away from his homeland, but with his home on his back, on a mission from the Harpers to meet with the elves of the Ardeep Forest.
Lineage, Background, Subclass Class: Tortle Faction Agent (Harpers) Order of the Scribes Wizard
Description: Qu looks, as you can imagine, like a bipedal turtle. Yellow-green scales cover his body, and although he prefers to walk around essentially nude, this is impossible in the cold north. Instead, he wears winter robes, and tends to carry an open flame in his hands or on the tip of his staff for extra warmth. His familiar, a colorful blue parrot (refluffed raven) is out more than not, watching the world with intelligent eyes. Although it is hard to discern expressions on a turtle-beaked face, Qu's eyes match those of his familiar, friendly and curious, a bright golden yellow fading to reddish tones.
When speaking, Qu tends to use bigger words than is really necessary, and tends to find five words where one would suffice. He speaks slowly, as though carefully considering each phrase and feeling it in his beak, tasting it with his tongue, before sending it out into the air. That said, he doesn't really speak all that often, certainly not just to hear his own voice, so it gives an air of wisdom that may or may not actually be present.
Being in the cold is not his preference, and so he tends to walk a bit slower than many, perhaps because of the weight of the shell on his back. He is quick to try to find small comforts, a warm fire, delicious food, a beautiful flower or ice formation. Qu's preference in food leans towards vegetarianism, or at least towards fish for protein, but he isn't fanatical about it, and will gladly eat beef or goat if that's what's available. In most things, Qu appears to be gently appreciative of what is going on around him, even the uncomfortable or the unwanted, and in this way he tends to have an even disposition in the face of life's challenges and trials.
Your Character’s Plothook: Qu is traveling from Daggerford to Nightstone on a mission from the Harpers, although he isn't likely to tell anyone that. He speaks Elven and Common, so he was sent to meet with Lady Velrosa Nandar to help resolve the conflict with the elves of the Ardeep Forest. He also speaks Giant, as that was a special interest of his back when he was training in Waterdeep, and is eager to possibly meet with some of the giants he has heard live in the north, although he has a more optimistic than realistic concept of how that would go.
Past is Prologue: Even Qu isn't entirely sure how his family ended up on the Sword Coast. His parents, like all Tortles, died before his first birthday. So he can't really ask them. He doesn't really think about them. His aunts and uncles didn't seem to know anything. His siblings obviously didn't, either.
In any case, he was raised in a clutch of fourteen hatchlings, and spent most of his first year being cared for by his parents. After that, he was on his own, but had aunts and uncles around occasionally. The first years were spent fishing and digging for clams, eating seaweed and bamboo that they somehow made grow, but eventually he picked up his shell and moved to town. Qu had an insatiable appetite for learning, which led to him becoming a wizard, which led Waterdeep.
He isn't sure where his siblings are, although he assumes they are fishing on the coast somewhere. Most Tortles are pretty independent, and so it isn't unusual that they don't talk. When your home is on your back, you don't get homesick, and Qu hasn't really been the kind to worry about setting down roots. He figures, when he is ready to die, he will find a male Tortle and lay some eggs. Until then, he's more than happy to wander around learning.
Um, yes, Qu is female, but it is hard for most mammals to tell with turtles, and he tends to identify as masculine, so it doesn't really matter. Perhaps asexual would be more precise, since he doesn't plan on having kids until he is ready to die, and isn't interested in practicing either way. Plus, it seems unsanitary.
In any case, in Waterdeep, Qu found kindred spirits who could spend days in books, tending the library, reading books, copying scrolls, and reading books. Most recently, due in no small part to what he heard of a dragon war going on up north, he has been obsessed with the region. He read histories, and learned Giantish, and perused books on flora and fauna of the frigid north. It wasn't until the rumors of giant attacks started circulating in Waterdeep that he really seemed to realize that he lived in the north, and could actually just go outside and see what he was reading about in real life. Like, it was right there.
He probably would have remained bemusedly entertained by this prospect, except for his introduction to the Harpers. Well, his introduction to a Harper, but it is usually all the same. In Qu's case, it was his friend Kiku, a goblin that was also a bit of an outcast in Waterdeep. They had weekly games of dragonchess in the Glade, a tea garden they both enjoyed, until Kiku didn't show up. Qu didn't think much of it, until he found Kiku in his own living quarters (how Kiku even found out where Qu lived, he wasn't sure), bleeding to death on Qu's bed. Kiku gave Qu a pin, and a sealed scroll case, and explained that it was of absolute importance that it be delivered to a specific person in Daggerford. Kiku seemed pretty adamant about it, so Qu bound his wounds, gave him a handful of goodberries, and went off and delivered the letter.
Turns out, even with healing Kiku didn't last the night; the wounds didn't kill him, but a poisoned dagger in a brothel on the other side of town did. Probably this was Kiku's intention, as it distracted pursuit away from Qu. Qu didn't find that out until later, when he reached Daggerford, and met with Kiku's contact, a half-elven bard named Stormantha Gale, or 'Stormy,' who was more than a little surprised and relieved to get the scroll case, and more than a little drunk, as she had been mourning both Kiku and the failure of his mission. Mourning Kiku was appropriate, the mission failure was premature.
In any case, this was Qu's introduction to the Harpers, and despite the danger, he enjoyed it so much that he was willing to join up and take on other work. Stormy is his main contact, although she has given him instructions in how to identify himself to other Harpers, and he has his inherited pin.
Include at least two of the following in your application:
Loyalties. He joined the Harpers. He mainly joined for the adventure, but his first mission was simply for his friend, Kiku. Now, his only real contact with the Harpers is Stormantha 'Stormy' Gale, a half-elven bard who was most recently based in Daggerford, although her job allows excuses to move frequently.
Is Might Right? That is a very complicated and insightful question, and does not deserve a simple answer! Why, even asking a close-ended question like this would already indicate the type of answer you expect to receive, and clearly closes off further avenues of discussion. But no matter, we can begin our exploration together. We should begin by defining the terms. What do you suppose is meant by 'Might,' in this context...
Deity. Eh, probably Mystra. Qu follows all the gods, when he thinks they might be watching. So, before setting off for a long journey, he will stop to make a bit of an offering or prayer to a god of safe travels, before a major purchase he might pray to a god of commerce, but he isn't exactly a loyal follower of any of them. The one he would come closest to actually worshiping is probably Mystra, just because of his occupation, and he sees more statues of her around than the others. But really, he doesn't think the gods concern themselves with his lifestyle, for the most part, so he doesn't concern himself with theirs.
Music. Going to need to think about this one. It is hard, because I don’t think I listen to music like he feels much.
