Inquisitor D Posted September 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 13, 2023 The princess keeps her mouth closed fast once the conversation reaches ethnicity. While relations were a little more complex, if a Taskan traveller was poorly received in memory of the old war, an Aralean (or quasi-Aralean) probably wouldn't go over much better. She follows to the Greathouse in silence Once they reach the building proper, there's a quiet awe in her face. This is a humble sight in its way, but something about it struck a chord with the traveller. All these people, come together under one roof, to best make it through a difficult season. There's something personal about this, and it makes their invitation to join them have meaning. The noblewoman bows low before taking a seat. Granarctian "We all come together against the cold. It's an honour to join you in such a home" In fact... it's not the best choice, but she should do these people proper honour. Nova glances around, then dips her head before the fire: clasping her hands, closing her eyes and murmuring something in a foreign tongue. Draconic Children of Mor, give them shelter beneath your wings. Tor'tan and Tor'gan: watch over the young, tend the flames of their hearth, and give them peace in the midst of snow Her wishes given to the Dragons, Nova turns her attention to both the housing and the thought of those beyond. This 'duca' presumably was the one that hired the Dragoons. That was a kind act for a man who isn't here, and who probably wouldn't profit too much from such a small, isolated village. Who'd be the leader of this region? Her eyes briefly pass over the Greathouse's structure. She's no Hiyacinth, but if she can do anything to help make sure the building is in good condition, that could be a useful way to spend some time while they plot what best to do about the bear. OOC Society +8 to Recall Knowledge on the local Duca. Nova has a repair kit: if there are any drafts or gaps in the greathouse, she'll take a closer look to try and patch it up.

When you reached out to the duca, he reached out to our people and we were sent." "So. Tell us about this bear. Where have you seen it and what is it doing? What does it look like?

This sounds as if this is not the first time for such an occurrence," Tethyr added. The communal living was an interesting state to observe. Not completely unfamiliar, but the context was different.

This winter is not so bad, so maybe it will be a dry spring. Popova sees omens in everything, and a dry spring is bad news for all of us.

Inquisitor D Posted September 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 13, 2023 The princess is listening fairly intently, though she's happy to take advantage of a space by the hearth to warm her hands. Any villagers who catch her eye win a smile and a wave: it seems like a little time's been enough to put the villagers at ease. Granarctian "So someone has broken into your homes? Was... that the bear? If most of your people have been living here, and there's a great bear wandering outside, I'd understand if no one wanted to keep a close watch at night. Especially given the weather." Nova's a little unsure if that idea's foolish or logical. If there's a great bear prowling around, it might be searching for something, mightn't it? Then again, this travelling duo may just as easily have something to do with these break ins. Some unknown strangers out in the middle of nowhere made for easy suspects. Though that was the other question. What's there to be suspicious of here? Primor barely seems to think that anything's wrong. Still, there's something... off about this. Pondering, Nova smiles to the village leader. Granarctian "Your Duca is a good man for summoning the Dragoons to investigate. It's something I'd expect of a Barona, calling on foreign experts to provide the best help possible. He must care a great deal for Zybunny!" Or the Dragoons' fees are more reasonable than she'd thought. They did send a novice squad, after all. Still, for a minor noble to jump straight to asking the Dragoons to intervene is... a little strange. Is the bear's behaviour that odd? Is there something specific about Zybunny? She can't help but feel like she's missing something. Hopefully raising the topic might guide the conversation towards what that might be.

Ryfte Posted September 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 14, 2023 She remains quiet and inconspicuous through the trip and keeps her movements small and paced. Being so different from all of the locals would set her apart as quite strange, likely with her small size being the only thing that would make her seem less dangerous. That and a lack of visible weaponry of course, * I guess the gloves serve a dual purpose here, keeping my claws hidden and me warm as well... * The fact that she couldn't understand any of the conversation other than the few times that common was spoken keeps Ash from really taking any actions or attempts at communicating at all. She simply remains as harmless and peaceful as she can among them all. * I wonder if perhaps it would have simply been wiser to remain hidden in the woods and not risk upsetting any of these people... and I suppose I really should broaden the languages I'm familiar with if I'm going to be part of the Dragoons... for real... * OoC Summary: ???

Always concerned with the care of those in need, particularly the wounded, she goes out of her way to assist them, even complete strangers. Its why she became a field medic and followed the Way of the Water, for which she had a marked affinity. She's quite small for a lizardfolk who are typically about the same size as a larger human. Her tribe, a cliffscale species is instead much smaller, slender and lithe, almost identical in size to that of a typical gnome but with a long slender tail of course. Her scales are a sandy tan and gray with darker mottled spots and her hands, feet, fingers, and toes allow her to scale sheer surfaces with ease. Most of her clothing is tan or a shade of gray-brown, her favorite color, and tends towards being short and non-binding or custom fitted, allowing her a freedom of movement more restrictive clothing simply won't. | application | pb sheetAshara'Rusa Chua'Kaolo, a.k.a.

"Well, firstly the bear is apparently able to break into people's houses. We have a master thief bear!" The noble's eyes glitter at the very thought. She can just picture a bear wearing fine clothes, sneaking through the night. Still, there is more established that she should share. Reluctantly, Nova adds the further details Headsman Primor has shared. "There was also a gnome and dwarf who passed through the area. It could be something to do with them. Or the bear's an omen of something... maybe. We're going to talk about that in a minute." She hums. One other question stands.

foltor Posted September 14, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) As Circe circulates in the hall, several people press two fingers to their lips and touch her sleeve as she passes. Popova and a 10-year old girl come out of the back carrying trays. They serve you cups of lukewarm ale and a thick maize porridge with lumps of root vegetables. It doesn't look very appetizing, but it smells good, and it's hot. Somewhat pointedly, Popova doesn't bring anything for Krai. He looks like he' about to say something about it, but then seems to think better of it. He nods along to Nova's translation. Granarctian with animated gestures "In the summer houses are farm tools, dishes, furniture, nothing of interest to a bear. What I've seen looks like the bear was entering - door ripped off its hinges, furniture overturned and smashed, but nothing taken. "The greatbear is the big kind, with the hump, half again as tall as a man when it stands, with the wide face, brown with some violet in its fur." Trained in Nature If you're Trained in Nature, you realize he's (probably) referring to a grizzly bear, as opposed to a black or polar bear. He looks around the room a little mournfully. Granarctian "Ah, well, times are difficult. Many young people see no hope for Zybunny, so they go to the cities in the west for work, or join the army. Some couples will start a family here, then once the children are old enough to help on the farm, the parents leave the children and the grandparents to care for each other while they go to find better work. It is, at least, a way for them to care for their relatives while they are away, and they do send back what they earn. It is not ideal, but sometimes it is the best choice they have."

Madadh Posted September 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 14, 2023 Tethyr, Half-Elf Magus With a frown Tethyr drums his fingers on his stave and looks to the headsman. Granarctian "This sounds more like behavior from hired thugs looking for valuables than a wild animal. Like it is looking for something specific. Based on the current situation let us discount the idea that this is a normal bear, regardless of how likely you believe it to be. If it is only a bear we can kill it easily." Letting his mind jump between various possibilities he continues. "Removing that possibility, what could it be? Are there any local legends, no matter how obscure? Any other details about these travelers anyone else here might remember?" Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyeball Kid Posted September 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 14, 2023 Crastug nods and then adds to Tethyr's statement: Granarctian "Rugs or skins, perhaps...?", he adds to the headman's list of items in the summer houses. "It sounds like a grizzly, but I think we've already established it's not a normal bear, so what it is is indeed the question...." "Has anyone else seen the bear? And do you have a tracker that you would recommend, one with experience tracking bears preferably. For that matter, has anyone tried tracking it? It seems like it might be about time to have a look for ourselves...."

You Recall Knowledge,Seek, or Sense Motive. Devise a Stratagem (Concentrate, Fortune, Investigator) Frequency once per round You assess a foe's weaknesses in combat and use them to formulate a plan of attack against your enemy. Choose a creature you can see and roll a d20. If you Strike the chosen creature later this round, you must use the result of the roll you made to Devise a Stratagem for your Strike's attack roll instead of rolling. You make this substitution only for the first Strike you make against the creature this round, not any subsequent attacks. When you make this substitution, you can also add your Intelligence modifier to your attack roll instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier, provided your Strike uses an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, a ranged weapon (which must be agile or finesse if it's a melee weapon with the thrown trait), or a sap. If you're aware that the creature you choose is the subject of a lead you're pursuing, you can use this ability as a free action.
