Mother "No, not the rabbit mark." Emily stands up, and up. Her body is almost six feet tall, now, with ash-blonde hair and remote, terrible eyes. A rune shines on her forehead, and if you look closely you can see the original girl, a shadow cast inside herself. "Where a rabbit would have...

Emily Halten Emily gestures to her eagle before it has a chance to finish off the dying man, and it obligingly collapses back into the ether. "Mystie, could you get him too?" Emily points toward Warrior 3, still bleeding out on the dockside. "I think he's going to die too, but there's...

Emily Halten It hurts, but Emily keeps it together, scurrying behind Qalbash before the man can get another shot. Dramm's down and dying, so she focuses her energy on the man the bow. She doesn't bother with words or gestures this time, just pure angry will: kill him! And the eagle obliges...

Emily Halten "Okay, the fight's over, and we won. Stay down!"Readied action: if Dramm tries to stand, summon monster i into a flanking square and savage him.Initiative +2, Perception +1, Sense Motive -1, AC: 15 (12 touch, 13 flat-footed) Fort: +1 Reflex: +2 Will: +1 CMB: -2 CMD: +0...

Emily Halten Now, to make sure he doesn't get away... Emily focuses her will on Dramm Marley, and whispers another word. I hadn't meant the eagle to be flying at all, but my flavor text didn't make that clear. My bad. Just to be sure: you're running the eagle from here on out?Same...

Emily Halten Okay, step one complete: Call For Backup. Now for step two: Mess With Them... Emily tears off her heavy, useless shield (she was carrying it and got hit anyway!), then dips into her spell component pouch and comes up with a pat of butter. She rubs it between her thumb and...

Emily Halten "Eek!" Emily feels a bit bad about startling backwards, but it all happened so fast! One moment they were bartering, and maybe bantering a little, and then it was all bolas and arrows in the shoulder. Shouldn't have let my shield drop... Still, she knew this would happen--even...

Emily Halten Twice what they agreed upon? It's bad to show uncertainty in front of the customers, so... "The best way to stay friends is to keep your promises. If you don't, it'll turn out badly for you sooner or later." She says that into the empty air, hoping that the innocent party--if...

Emily takes a deep breath, puts on her father's best speaking-to-suppliers manner, and steps forward. "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I see that you have the package, as agreed. If you'd please step this way," she makes a vague sweeping gesture toward the rest of her party, "we'll take charge of...

Emily Halten Emily plans to stick close to Misty (her only companion who's shorter than she is), but in her excitement to see someone coming, she drifts forward a few steps. Over her shoulder, she remarks to Misty: "I used to ride our dog Fetch when I was younger. I can't do it now, but I bet...

Emily Halten Emily's a bit disappointed--how big an adventure can this be if it doesn't even go through the Planks?--but "being an adventurer" doesn't mean "acting like an idiot", so she goes along with it. She gives Qalabash her best approximation of a cool, confident nod and moves to the...

Emily Halten Emily's done a good job concealing her impatience, she thinks, but she's definitely ready to go. As the group gathers itself to depart, she slips up beside Qalabash. "There's not that much to know about me. My dad's an inkeeper, and he makes a great summer ale, but I thought I'd...

Emily Halten Emily glances around. Though her new companions look confident and capable, none of them have the "giant wall of muscle" look that she's come to associate with professional porters. Oh well. It'll work itself out somehow.

Emily Halten Emily shakes her head. "I don't need my Mother's permission, and we don't need to wait for her. When I call her, she'll come. But unless something goes very wrong, we won't even need her." She tries to give Jericho a wry look.Initiative +2, Perception +1, Sense Motive -1 AC...

Emily wants to be professional and haggle with Mr. Ringling, but she doesn't want to scare off her first employer. She tries to compromise with a knowing, worldly silence.Initiative +2, Perception +1, Sense Motive -1 AC: 17 (12 touch, 15 flat-footed) Fort: +1 Reflex: +2 Will: +1 CMB: -2...
