    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    Ashlyn nods slowly as she listens to the tale. Though it sounds very plausible, she knows enough about nobility, from her own past, that she does not trust that what has been said is the whole of the matter or even truthful as far as it goes, ... that would be far too simple, ... and nobles are...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    Ashlyn looks warily around the room and then moves forward to take a seat at the table before inclining her head slightly and speaking, "Lord Sergei, I would apologize for being somewhat distracted and uneasy, but after what we experienced upon entering this place, this room is an unexpected...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    I expect that Ashlyn (everburning torch) and Tessa (everbright lantern) will have light sources out. Ashlyn will drop her torch and draw a weapon at the first evidence of hostilities. I don't know if Jarrith or Khensu will have anything out? Regarding marching order, if Jarrith is willing...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    As she steps through the doorway, Ashlyn slows momentarily as the wave of nausea and wrongness flows over her, and then she braces herself and with iron determination, she continues on, stepping into the room, the light from her torch illuminating the dark archway at the end of the room. Ashlyn...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    @stonegod: Another thing just occurred to me ... since Ladreth has 'left the group' at least for now, I guess the +2 greatsword should now be back with the group gear since it was given to Ladreth to use while he fought alongside the group ... correct?

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    Ok, Ashlyn is taking the Symbol (for now, since we need to take it to the chapel - or somewhere else in the castle). She will also take the remaining potion of cure moderate wounds. If anyone else wants to take anything from the group gear, now is the time to say so, ... it would feel a waste...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    As they approach the entrance of the castle Ashlyn falls silent as she briefly contemplates both the obvious age of the place, and the functionality of the remaining fortifications. Her thoughts, however, are soon elsewhere ... Lugdana's chapel lies ahead ... I wonder if it is indeed sacred...

    RS2: The Tokyo Problem (Velmont Judging)

    OOC: Actually I think Gus's idea could work, especially if he can accompany Scout to ensure that the boy doesn't escape. Scout responds to Gus, "I could 'port the kid to somewhere more secure, but perhaps we should ask the Tokyo group first? If you keep an eye on the kid..." Scout then taps on...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    Just to check ... I assume we would still have to die first? I gather that vamp's are handled a little differently here in Barovia than normal, so I just trying to clarify things for myself. i.e. If we get bitten by a vamp, it wouldn't mean that we become vamp spawn, but if we get bitten by a...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    As she silently turned away from Janis and with an easy grace born of much practice, swung onto the back of her sable mount, an expression that might have been sadness briefly appeared on the lady paladin's face. Although disappointed by the lack of effect her words and her offer of support had...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    @James: Just to be clear, I, as a player am not attempting to use Ashlyn to force Janis into a particular course of action by issuing an ultimatum. Ashlyn is simply trying to state facts as she sees it and is freely offering her support to Janis against whatever troubles Janis might find...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    As Janis speaks, an expression of pain crosses Ashlyn's face and her expression turns icy cold as if a dark shadow passes across her face. Turning to face Janis, Ashlyn speaks in a monotone, quietly enough that only those close to her can hear, but there is iron in her voice, "Janis, Do not let...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    :o .... This opens interesting problems for Ashlyn ... I'll have to think about Ashlyn's response a little ... Mechanically, unlike normal paladins, Ashlyn has detect undead rather than detect evil, so even if Janis were to willingly change shape and thus change alignment and become chaotic...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    Ashlyn listens carefully to Jarrith as he whispers his question, then she smiles and nods as she responds, "Of course, ... unless you had any objections?" Ashlyn tilts her head up towards Jarrith, the question obvious in her eyes as she waits for an answer. Assuming that Jarrith doesn't have...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    Rising early, satisfied and rested from a mere two hours of sleep, Ashlyn quietly walks downstairs and looks in on her patients before heading back to the inn for breakfast. Walking through the door, Ashlyn takes some porridge and a small hunk of bread and sits down with Urik for breakfast. She...

    I'm fine with trying out the new Death & Dying rules ... they look interesting ;)

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

    Looks like Janis is out to make friends once again ... ;) Seriously though, I really enjoyed the part where Janis indirectly called Mateusz a rat ... I had a grin that stretched right across my face. I'm also sure that any further consequences of that will be just as amusing.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

    Upon seeing the wounded as they arrive in town, Ashlyn simply dismounts and ignoring the verbal altercations between Janis and the others, she immediately begins to see to the wounded. Moving to the center of those wounded she calls upon the healing deep within herself and once again it surges...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Ashlyn sits quietly on her mount as they make their way back to town, contemplating the difficulties that still await ... the curse that still afflicts Janis, ... the undead soldiers accompanying the emerald agent, ... the castle, and the lord of these lands, whatever he actually is.
