“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Mery spends several seconds waiting patiently for a response to her proposed book topic, but none is forthcoming. 'Why is it always like this?' she wonders. 'I say something about something I care about and no one can be bothered to reply. Are they bored by my ideas? Do they think they're terrible but just don't have the guts to tell me? Or are they simply digesting what I'm saying? I bet I said if I wanted to write some book for entertainment purposes, I'd get a lot more responses. Or maybe these people have never undergone hardship and simply don't understand how helpful encouragement can be when you're struggling. Or they have and they just prefer to avoid thinking or talking about it. Which would be ridiculously short-sighted, but what can I do about it?'
When it becomes clear that no answer is going to be forthcoming, she turns her attention to her other companions, deciding that she needs to keep believing in her idea regardless of how anyone else responds or doesn't respond. Decimus seems to be hanging out on the edge of things, so she says to the wizard, "Decimus, why don't you tell us about why you wear an eye patch? Did you lose an eye, or is the patch more for flavor?"

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.
