“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Mery tilts her head, a curious expression on her face. "If you think there's a curse on you, you'll need to see if someone can detect it. I'm afraid I am no use in that regard other than the small amount of reading I've done about magic. But Decimus or Coltan, maybe?" She carefully avoids any mention of her own magic. Her life has enough trouble without people knowing she can do magic, even if it is fairly weak magic. Besides, she honestly doesn't know the spell she thinks Hunni would need.
"Are you saying that you think the gods may be responsible for cursing your people?" They're the only ones Mery can think of who might have the power to curse a race. And Hunni did say "beings". "Do you have any thoughts on which god might have done it?"
"As for my book, I'm definitely open to adding...well, not really pictures, more sketches. I like to draw, but have too many interests to bother mastering painting with color. So I mainly do charcoal sketches. Once I earn a bit more gold to buy the tools I need, I'll be able to sketch whenever I have a few hours free. If you'd like, I could probably do a sketch of you and Ispin, if you were to tell me a story involving the two of you."
"As far as topics, the joy in writing a book for me lies in explaining a subject that really interests me. But at the same time, I also want it to be useful to people. That's why I still haven't made up my mind about what to write about - I haven't found a subject that both interests me and would also be useful to people. A book of recipes would definitely be useful, and I might even do one one day, but it's not a subject I'm strongly interested in."

Healing Word
A creature of your choice that you can see within range regains hit points equal to 1d4 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.
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.
Ammunition:
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, cure wounds
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 or Cure Wounds if someone needs it (pending an official return of the gods and divine magic for Coltan). 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.
