“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Mery blinks, the only evidence of startlement at Decimus' story. She gives a thoughtful pause, then says, "Well, one thing we share is an absent birth father. Mine ceased communicating with my mother the moment he learned of my existence. I have a stepfather, but, well, I don't count him as a father. In fact, I think of him in my head as my mother's husband." She doesn't say why she doesn't count him as a father. "My mother's and birth father's relationship was also short-lived - about six months, I believe. As you might be able to guess from the fact that I come from Palanthas, my father is the Elf in my heritage. I am told I get my love of learning and scholarship from him, though obviously I have no personal experience with that. He committed a social taboo by taking up with my mother, but I am given to understand he is eccentric and unconventional."
"I am sorry about your eye. That's a terrible reason to lose one, especially if your mother isn't even right about you. I also suffered during my childhood, it just wasn't from anything physical. What happened to me has given me scars that can't be seen with the eye, although it does come out in my behavior at times."
"Do you have any evidence of your mother's claim? Have you ever looked into it or...ummm, manifested anything beyond an ability to do magic that would suggest she is right?" She is unsure if the wizard will be willing to answer this question, but she wants to understand. And if there is no proof, then the claim is nothing more than hearsay. Even if there is evidence, she imagines that the wizard still needs friends, especially if he is working to do good, as his allegiance to the White Robes suggests.

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.
