[LPF] Beggar's Belief

[GlassEye]

With the sharks momentarily preoccupied Megan, the Guardian, and Ariel are able to swim to the surface. Megan is clearly having difficulty but with assistance the three of you are able to stumble ashore wet and bloodied but alive.

The ruined walls come almost to the water line and you all figure that you've surfaced somewhere around the southeast corner of the island. All is, at the moment, quiet and there is no sign of Knesh.

OOC: In this case, survival is as good as victory. 800 xp (270 xp to each of you).

Megan collapses on the sandy shore, coughing up blood from the endeavor she just endured.

 

[Walking Dad]

As soon as he is able to do so, the Guardian sits up at the beach trying to stop the bleeding.
"Ariel, if you have any healing left, I say we secure the boat and taking Knesh down. Stump gave his life for us. We should at least give him his revenge!"

OOC: I'm presuming you brought up treasure, gear & coracle and have it with you.

Ariel climbs out of the water, the wet clothing hugging the shapely curves of her body and the chill air involuntarily hardening her ni...

Unaware of this sight, her expression shows her sad disappointment that she could not save Stump from his fate. But it must be Her Justice's will and she steals herself to focus instead on the next task at hand.

"I will deal with that presently, bring up the treasure and the rest of our belongings, if you please, and I will heal our injuries."

She draws on her goddess's divine energy and channels two waves of positive energy to radiate out and them. She casts a healing spell as well to fix most of Megan's wounds from the shark.

The Aasimar cleric asks the Guardian, "Do you want more right now, or are you felling well enough?"

Once the belongings are on shore, she will unpack her gear and don her armor again. Getting ready to go she casts Guidance and Resistance on everyone and suggests, "Lets make our way around to where the boat is and see if Knesh is still here or not. Then we can work our way back to deal with him proper."

Ariel Esimae

 

[VVilhem]

"Thanks Ariel," says Megan as she stretches her healed muscle and cracks a few joints, "Yes, let's secure the boat and then deal with that double-crossing thug once and for all."

 

[GlassEye]

The quiet scuff of a boot on stone attracts the group's attention. "Guess I shoulda kept the sharks a little hungrier, eh? Ha-har!" The familiar voice and mocking laughter echoes between the ruined walls of Vega Isle and you see Knesh some distance away. He plucks at a loose thread on his ragged cloak with one hand and you see a crossbow pointed in your direction in the other. "And you brought me the treasure! How kind."

OOC: Initiative!

Megan drops her dagger and moves swiftly to a position where she can get a clear shot at the wretch (I18), pulling out her heavy crossbow as she does so. Aiming down the sight, she whispers, "Thank you for saving us the trouble of finding you."

Great rolls! But... two problems. 1: It takes a full-round action to load a heavy crossbow; 2: Knesh is farther than 30 feet away from you preventing sneak attack.[/sblock]

 

[VVilhem]

OOC: Megan will have enough speed to move to I15 so that Knesh is within 30 ft. Her crossbow is also preloaded.
