“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Slipping the money, letter, food and water from the knights into her backpack, Mery turns to peer up at Decimus, taking in his funny hat and the pink-over-white robes and immediately becomes curious about why he dresses that way, but she decides to hold that question for now. She's not sure what to make of Hunni's hodgepodge outfit, but assumes the Gully Dwarf has her reasons. It's something to ask about later, if she, too, is heading to Ispin's funeral.
"Yes, Ispin was a friend of mine, Decimus. I also am on the way to Vogler for his funeral. I am Mery Keryndon." She holds out her hand to shake hands with him, then does the same toward Hunni.
When Merituuli compliments her final shot of the pine-green monster, she grins back in his direction and calls, "Thanks. It was a lucky shot. You're not half bad, either, with that crossbow of yours." His exotic appearance also pulls on her curiosity, but she decides to hold those questions as well. Besides, at this distance, it would be a yelling conversation.
She glances first at Decimus and Hunni, then back toward the other four, trying to really take in all of their faces, but the distance between the two groups is making it a little difficult. Raising her fingers to her mouth to let out a shrill whistle, she waits until she has everyone's attention, then calls,"Can we all come down here by the dead knights, please? And would those of you who have not already done so please state your names? Or at least, whatever you would like to be called by?" She decides not to repeat her own name until she can do so without yelling.

Bardic Inspiration (3 per long rest, for 1d6)
As a bonus action, a creature (other than yourself) within 60 ft. that can hear you gains an inspiration die (1d6). For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.

16 arrows in quiver, 4 arrow bundles in backpack.
Spellcasting:
Mery is a 1st-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). She has the following bards available for spontaneous casting from her first level slots:
- Cantrips (2/2 slots): prestidigitation, vicious mockery
- 1st level (3/3 slots): healing word, hideous laughter, unseen servant
Class Features:
- 0/3 Bardic Inspiration0
Botting Instructions: (i.e. What to do if I haven't posted in a while and haven't announced it. Personally, if I haven't posted in 2 days and something is needed from me, BOT ME! I hate holding up the action and will roll with whatever you choose to do.)
- Combat: In combat, debuff enemies, inspire allies, drop Healing Word, especially on someone with low HP if Mery is close and the party cleric can't for some reason. If all of that is out of the question, she prefers using her shortbow and staying at range, given her very low AC.
- Outside of Combat: She's a support, face, and lore nerd. Do skill checks! Persuade, deceive, and intimidate NPCs! Drop spells that make things easier for the party! Use tools! If any male PCs or NPCs are kind to her, have her act like just slightly awkward, like she's not completely 100% used to that.
