Sorithar Posted April 16 Author Clone Share Posted April 16 Simimar and Lathai glance at Bochs. "Quite the diverse band you have here. Don't get many of the Stout Folk out here in the woods..." Morn's words elicit some mirth from the elves initially at the mention of the Harpers and the Zhents, but it is his divulsion of your wounded companion that draws their attention and turns their mood to current matters. They eye Morn warily, though they do not show aggression, perhaps now expecting him to be more forthcoming than his half-elven companion. "You say you stumbled upon this ruin..? What brought you this far off the trodden paths to find this ruin to stumble upon..?" OOC Note 1: Rodin is bandaged at -8 hp.

rauhric Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 (edited) Aeruiel Moonshadow Half-Moon Elf Barbarian from Ashabenford Aeruiel interjects, "Hey ..." She tries to be as persuasive as possible without laying it on to thick, "Maybe we can help each other out here. You fine elves could camp with us and maybe help out get our friends bow back and then we can help you look for your missing friend. How does that sound?" She hopes the spirit of friendship is within these elves to aid strangers and maybe gain some allies in their quest for their lost friend. OoC Aeruiel is not a girly-girl, maybe a little tomboyish, so her flirting skills are not great or well rehearsed, but she is trying to win over some strangers to their cause. AppearanceFemale half-elf, age 17, blonde, blue eyes, fair skin, 5'-7" tall weight about 125 lbs. She is described as a willful and free spirited young woman, who likes playing pranks, and flies into fits of rage when bullied.

Chaz Hoosier Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 Morn Tallstag Morn Tallstag, Human Bard AC: 15 HP: 7/7 Morn babbles on in his blithe way. "Stumbled upon Galath's Roost? Everyone in the Dale knows a tale or two about the Bandit King's Keep, and you can see it from any tall hill in the region. We came investigating the bandits bothering the area. We haven't found them yet today, and it seems we'll have to make camp sooner than later, eh?" He glances at the position of the sun. "Our attempts to investigate the ruins have been foiled by monsters, and our friend barely survived the chat with the last one.

Terran Posted April 17 Clone Share Posted April 17 (edited) Since her colleagues were seemingly willing to not only interact with the strangers, but also to invite them into their camp with the suggested possibility of working together, Jessie clears her throat and says, "In fact, our friend is still injured and unconscious. We would greatly appreciate any help or healing you might be able to provide him." Well, this will help gauge the newcomer's abilities, as well as their possible motives, the diminutive rogue thinks to herself. Besides, we might as well get something out of them if we can, Jessie mentally muses. Plus, have Rhodey back up and at it will make us all safe which, if these strangers are trouble, will be sorely needed. As the diminutive Halfling awaits a response to her query, Jessie continues to keep her eyes and ears focused on the surrounding environs, watching and listening for the sight or sound of anything moving or unusual in the surrounding environs while thinking through the mental link to the resident of the oak tree room. Jessie's Mind Jessie thinks again, 'We are inviting the pair of Elves into the oak tree room if they can heal your friend, Rodin.' OOC DM - Please make a Sense Motive check to see if the newcomer's offer to Heal Rodin is sincere Free Action: Think Swift Action: Move Equivalent Action: Standard Action: Readied Action to Attack Foes with MW Short Bow if any enemy appear and Jessie has a line of sight Move: Full Round Action: Jessie Tosscobble III's AppearanceJessie is small standing at 2 foot 8 inches and weighing a mere 27 pounds. As such, the lass intentionally keeps her brown hair long to cover her halfling features, which allows the rogue to pass herself off as a small humanoid or even young human or half-elven child when convenient or necessary. Dressed dark purple clothing, which is overlaid with attractive black leather accoutrements, Jessie keeps the paraphernalia of her 'profession' secreted upon her person, and especially the authorities, except when in use. Her friendly blue eyes and warm, sincere smile are disarming and allow the lass to paint a picture of a young girl who is completely unintimidating by all appearances, an assumption often made by others which suits her well and which she actively cultivates. To promote this look of youth or innocence, most of Jessie's weapons, alchemical doodads, pack, and other equipment are kept hidden under her clothing and also by her large heavy dark green cloak.

Sorithar Posted April 21 Author Clone Share Posted April 21 (edited) Simimar and Lathai glance at each other at Aeruiel's offer. Simimar nods in acquiescence. "Sehanine's hour nears and we would not mind some company before we head out again. Our tracks are to Tangled Trees though. We do not believe there is more we can do at this time to locate Inialos at this time. Perhaps our spiritual leaders or weavers can use their Art to locate him..." Morn's words raise Simimar's eyebrow and have him shaking his head slightly. "What are these hills you speak of in the vale of the mists..? Come, show us to this friend of yours." At Jessies' words, Simimar and Lathai glance at the hin in a manner that indicates, they have not missed her presence. They simply nod and follow you under the shadow of the large oak. Simimar and Lathai both give the large tree a reverent pause before moving swiftly to Rodin's side. "Rodin!" It is immediately clear they recognize the shallow breathing Rodin. Simimar leans down beside Rodin and draws a small strange fruit from a pouch at his waist. He places the fruit to Rodin's lips and squeezes it. A clear liquid leaves the fruit and flows into Rodin who's injuries immediately begin to heal and knit shut, causing him to gasp and open his eyes, fully awake and not only healed of all injuries, but invigorated as well. As his eyes take in his surroundings, he notices Simimar and Lathai, the brothers being the sons of an old client of his father's from Tangled Trees. OOC Note 1: Rodin is at full health.

JagrHunter Posted April 21 Clone Share Posted April 21 Bochs (BlackHammer) Shield Dwarf, Paladin "It appears Faerun is a small world after all." grunts the Dwarven Paladin as the pair recognizes Rodin. "Praise to the All-Hammer for timely arrivals." OOC OOC stuff AppearanceMeet Bochs, the Shield dwarf with a name as strong as his spirit. Standing slightly taller than his peers, he commands attention with his well-muscled physique and meticulously maintained beard, armor, and equipment. A captivating detail that catches the eye is the small, glimmering adamantium medallion adorning his neck, proudly displaying the symbol of Moradin. This precious relic holds immense sentimental value, as it was one of the two items Bochs received after the tragic loss of his parents during a perilous trade mission fromthe Glen. The second item, a remarkable dwarven Warhammer, is a cherished family heirloom passed down from his father. Bochs carries these tokens with him, a testament to his resilience and unwavering determination.

Draidden Posted April 22 Clone Share Posted April 22 (edited) Rodin Sethilaud Wood Elf, Ranger Rodin's eyes snap open as the fruit takes affect and he gasps for air. He is surprised to see Simimar and Lathia and then realizes he is on his back on the ground ... again. Greetings friends. Only wish I had been awake to greet you as you arrived. But very glad you did arrive. And very grateful. He then takes the time to fill them in on what they have encountered since arriving and his string of bad luck. He will gladly show them to the hills and the bodies that the group found. He gives great detail on the fey that has been such a pain in the butt, in hopes they might be able to tell them what they are dealing with and suggest a way to either get past it or rid of it. Preferably the latter. OOC If he wins the strength test by more than 5, then he will continue to push the thing as far as he can. Assuming it does not kill him with its AoO. Elven Lowlight vision, so he can see 40' a if full light rather than the normal 20 of the torch. Will take 10 on Spot and Listen checks for a total of 15 each when not in combat. It gets a +3 bonus if any of those are applied to Drow or large spiders. Rodin is still borrowing Auriel's bow. The serpent tongue arrows do both slashing and piercing damage. They are designed to use to cut ropes and break things more effectively. AppearanceRodin stands at 6 feet tall and appears a bit more muscular than the average elf. His skin has a light brownish tan look to it. His hair is brown with streaks of copper highlights through it and hangs down to just touch his shoulders. It normally has a bit of a wild windblown look to it. His eyes are a medium green which reminds most people of the color of leaves. He wears studded leather armor that has been dyed a camouflage pattern of browns and greens. His cloak is held closed by a brooch the shape of a silver arrow with green fletching. Aside from his dagger on his belt, the only weapon he carries is his longbow, which looks a bit thicker and sturdier than most bows.

rauhric Posted April 22 Clone Share Posted April 22 Aeruiel Moonshadow Half-Moon Elf Barbarian from Ashabenford Aeruiel is surprised not only by the healing magic's quick effects but the fact that they knew Rodin. "Small forest ..." she says as the stranger elves recognize one of her companions, "So glad you had that healing magic with you. We were waiting for our healer to recuperate her healing magic. How fortunate that you arrived when you did. Now that all is well again, come join us for the night. Share your tales and we shall share ours." She hopes the spirit of friendship is genuine with these elves as to call them allies would be a boon in future adventures. OoC I am making a note of these new elves in case we need to name drop them in the future. AppearanceFemale half-elf, age 17, blonde, blue eyes, fair skin, 5'-7" tall weight about 125 lbs.

Terran Posted April 25 Clone Share Posted April 25 (edited) Jessie nods affirmatively at the elves when the acknowledge the Halfling as the pair of newcomers enter the oak tree room to attend to Rodin who nearly died but is at least stable even though the Elf is remains severely injured and comatose. After remaining at the entrance to the room to monitor any potential activity in the outer ruins, once the rogue has determined that everything seems quiet, then Jessie will return and climb back atop the large boulder where the burglar resumes her overwatch to provide perimeter security. As the Halfling watches and listens for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual, Jessie thinks through the link to communicate with the invisible friend in the oak tree as she sits on active guard duty. When pair of Elves successfully heal and revive Rodin, the pickpocket says a silent prayer of thanks to the gods. However, when Jessie hears that the newcomer bard had the ability to heal Rodin ever since he was injured, she can barely believe her ears. Apparently instead of offering much needed healing, the singer choose to instead silently watch as others risked life and limb to rescue Rodin from drowning in the pool, as the removed his nearly dead body from the fight and withdrew with Rodin remaining severely injured and in comatose state causing Jessie to say, "Morn, next time one of us is on the brink of death or is comatose, I highly encourage to not save your healing, pretty please." Jessie's Mind Jessie thinks again, 'The elves know Rodin and have healed our friend. I am watching for strangers. Let me know if you sense and anyone or anything besides those of us in this room, please. I want to keep everyone safe.'

Sorithar Posted Saturday at 02:37 AM Author Clone Share Posted Saturday at 02:37 AM Simimar and Lathai smile at Rodin and nod in traditional greeting. "Smaller than once it was, but the Seldarine smile upon this union. Rodin, come, lets us sit and break bread, so you might tell us how you find yourself in this company..." Simimar and Lathai join your encampment for the evening, happy to share stories of Tangles Trees and their recent ill fortune while on patrol. They have little more to reveal about the ruined keep or recent events around it. The night is cold, as the one before had been, and keeping a small fire alive is paramount to keeping your strength through the night. Simimar and Lathai offer to take their turn with watch to let you rest but with godswake, they politely take their leave, begging you to keep an eye out for Inialos Oakwood.
