“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Mery tells Artanis, "You had good intentions. I suppose it is I who made things awkward by intruding upon your good deed. I apologize. But before you hear her story, I need to speak to you privately. Later is fine for that."
She tells Decimus, "In the back of my mind, I had considered Hunni as a possible subject for a book about people who overcome. I'd need some of those questions I mentioned answered first before I could commit to it. There's one particular question I have that you are uniquely equipped to find the answer to. Perhaps we can talk about that later."
With the revealing of Ispin's green shield, Mery smiles in fond reminiscence, remembering it propped up against the wall that night he had had dinner with her family and a few of the tall tales Ispin had told in which the shield played a prominent role, including, she thought, the one Kai had mentioned.
When Artanis claims the shield, she nods approvingly. "A good choice for the shield's new owner - someone who can put it to plenty of use."
She walks over to Darrett and says, "I prefer using a shortbow when I fight, and I use my rapier only when I must fight in close quarters, which I'm really not that well-suited for. How are y'all handling archers? I'm thinking that arrows that can actually wound someone are likely not the best choice for a re-enactment."

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:
20 arrows in quiver, 3 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:
- 3/3 Bardic Inspiration
- Song of Rest (Use on any short rest - anyone who hears her performance and chooses to regain a hit die gains an extra 1d6 of HP.)
- Jack of All Trades (add 1/2 proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.)
