Pathfinder 1E Mynhear's Bane

[perrinmiller]

Melisande, Paladin

Melisande took up the weapon that she was to use to capture the chieftain's spirit. She steeled her voice and set her jaw. She was an executioner at times, but always to punish evil and the guilty. This was different in someways, but it was a willing sacrifice to combat evil. She understood sacrifice and her Goddess could require the same of her someday.

“Your courage does you and your tribe credit, milady. Fare thee well in the afterlife.”

There was no need to hesitate any longer.

Melisande gripped the hilt and drove it swiftly into Frost's heart to kill her as swiftly as possible.

Sol watched the terrible moment in silent horror. Tears spilled freely from her eyes. She hadn't cried in many many years, but she would not turn away. Milasande was the only one with enough courage to do this, she would not leave her alone. That much she could do. She moved to the paladin's side, speechless, not knowing what to say or do. She placed her hand lightly on Milasande's shoulder and simply stood there with her as Kalinn died on the end of her own blade.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Kalinn's body tenses for that brief moment as she feels the weight of Winterbite at her chest. The razor sharp blade slips easily between her ribs, piercing her heart, and she relaxes into death's embrace almost instantly. A small pool of blood - much smaller than one would expect - wells around the blade. Melisande's eyes close and she stands transfixed, head bowed as she grips the greatsword's hilt.

Melisande feels a warmth traveling up the blade, through her arms, to suffuse her entire body... until that moment she'd almost forgotten how cold it is in these heights. A voice - two voices really, one rumbling deep and one a clear tenor, speaking simultaneously - echoes in her head. {{Greetings, Melisande, and our thanks. Know that the choice presented you this day was fortold, and that you have chosen as we wished. Wield us wisely and well, and we will do all in our power to protect you and your party from Varithian's evil.}}

With these words, the paladin is released from her temporary paralysis and is able to act once more.

"Milisande, you are greater person then I could ever be. Heinrich then bows and takes a step back. As he stands a look on his face that resembles him haveing a thought takes over his face, but he is choosing to keep it for now to give the Paladin time to think about what has just happened.

[sblock=artificial memory]this lead giant may be clever enough to see his fire sills and know what is going to be the worse threat. we may need to trick the early attacks to be hiding our capabilities[/sblock]

Melisande, Paladin

Melisande came out of the forced trance that accompanied the weapon's telepathic introduction. She said, “I do hope to be worthy, Winterbite. It comforts me little that Frost's death was foretold.”

She looked for the weapon's scabbard to strap it across her back alongside her own holy falchion. She explained to the others, “The sword talks, just so you both know. I am not sick in the head when I start speaking with it.”

[jbear]

Sol takes a deep breath. "And now... I guess we go outside... and then I would prefer to leave this place quickly. Leave thepeople to mourn the loss of their leader in privacy... and avoid ... ... ... awkwardness..."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]LG as in Lawful Good.[/sblock]

"Indeed we do speak - either in our wielder's mind or aloud," comes a voice from the scabbard now strapped across Melisande's back. The voice is an odd blend of Kalinn's decidedly female tenor and something deeper and far more masculine. "Though we'll do you the courtesy of speaking aloud when it seems safe to do so.

"Varithian has been haunting the high passes above our valley here. You'll have to go back the way you came, and then head higher up. Hmmm. Did I say that already? I can't seem to recall."

 

[perrinmiller]

Melisande, Paladin

Melisande nodded, “Aye, we should probably set out... Though, I thought Heinrich wanted to do something for these people before then.” She looked to the wizard for confirmation.

She exited the chieftain's abode and asked softly of the sword, “How far would we travel then to find Varithian? Would it be far enough that we should rest here first?”

"My idea would take a full day at least. Are you both willing to let me do that?"

"And if you would entertain a thought experiment, If the giants figure out you have a fire vizard on hand, they may set a trap for me. Perhaps something to be done about that to keep news of our tactics from being known?"

Solomon shrugged, still looking very pale. "I am in no rush to face this giant and his flunkies... but the sword... Kalinn... might have something else to say on that which might change my opinion. If we can spare a day without causing greter peril to those we hope to save then it is fine by me, Heinrich." She couldn't bring herself to look at the sword... or anything else in the tent, so Sol stared up at the roof instead.
