Death of the Dragons

Marius Goldleaf

[sblock=OOC]
It's interesting how same thing comes over differently in text for different people.

I wanted to show Marius as tolerant, wanting to avoid fighting, even when faced with a challenge, but confident in his ability to handle trouble.

Additional comment was a message trying to avoid next such situation.

And if Grabhar makes 'passive' comments by 'invading personal space and towering over' people, he shouldn't be surprised if came over as a bully.

[sblock=Holiday Greetings]
Merry Christmass everyone!

Well, at least to those of you who celebrate it ;)

[sblock=OOC]It was meant to mean that the feral big boy is still oblivious to certain concepts, like personal space, but the statement was his attempt to take the monk into his confidence as opposed to making an attempt at any sort of intimidation. I'm trying to play him as a sort of rustic sophisticant if that makes any sense? A sort of wilderness sage thats trying to fit in without knowing completely how to. I get the same type of reaction in the real world all the time. Just because Im big and sort of naturally glowery, people think that I'm just a thug, and therefore get scared for no reason. And a Merry Christmas right back at cha :) anyone that takes offense at any sort of holiday greeting needs to grow thicker skin![/sblock]
 

Have a great Holiday everyone.


[From the air] The tree Seifer mentioned sticks out, as none of the larger trees are growing near it. It is about 300 yards from the group on the ground. Seifer is leading the group in that direction.

[On the ground] Walking through the clearing, it is about 50 yards from the woods, light easily penetrates through the leafs. Seifer leads into the woods. Without looking back he asks, "Haereka, may I talk to you?"

War switches and attaches Benihime and prepares for battle.
"Let's roast these furballs and show them what a paladin can do with the articifer's gift." War says darkly as he hacks at a tree in frustration.

Easy War. There will be enough opportunity for hacking enemies. That tree isn't one of them.

Marius falls in step with War.
:)

As soon as party slows down to more careful approach, Marius hides and follows them from aside hoping to get some surprise on were-ones even if they spring some kind of ambush. He slips into his 'hunter mode' gliding over forest floor without seeming to touch it.

Knowledge (nature) (1d20+9=28) giving Marius +3 to hit and +3 to damage against were creatures

Alariass thinks back to Haereka,

"Be my guest. I must confess to being more than a little intrigued by you and you abilities, and not a little envious. I welcome any opportunity to extend knowledge, especially my own, but to a lesser degree I value any furtherance of knowledge - including your own.

On a different note, I do hope our new companion's morality is less constricting than that of other Paladins of my acquiantance. Adhering to such an inflexible code can be dashedly inconvenient, I trust he remembers that others are not so constrained. "

The plain merchants face of the illusion remain utterly impassive as they walk on.
Haereka replies telepathically,Yes, we can only hope that his mechanical nature is not the only thing that makes him unusual amonst paladins. I'm far from an advocate for pointless barbarism. But I'm sure you of all people understand that to act in the greater good requires knowledge, which in turn often requires sacrifice of one sort or another. Thus doing what is truly the right thing requires a certain moral flexibility. The warfoged eagerness isn't a good sign, that he grasps the concept, but we'll see.

[On the ground] Walking through the clearing, it is about 50 yards from the woods, light easily penetrates through the leafs. Seifer leads into the woods. Without looking back he asks, "Haereka, may I talk to you?"
Still possessing Alariass' shield, Haereka then reaches out to Seifer's mind. Oh honey, I thought you'd never ask! ... Or is this about the weretigers?
 

It seems that the paladin has you a little on edge, so I thought I would let you know what we talked about. I guess the biggest thing is that he is a paladin of law, he doesn't believe in following good or evil. He pauses for a reaction before continuing with And he told me he serves Gond and is on a mission, he wont go into details but he's looking for info on something.
 

Alariass thinks back to his unusual new companion Haereka,

"A most enlightened statement my friend, I think we shall get along splendidly. As for the Paladin, well we shall as always watch learn adapt and overcome - should it be necessary, let us pray iti snot."

[sblock=OOC] Bring on the Weretigers. For my part I am not concerened about there being a Paladin, just having fun playing around with my characters perceptions, etc.[/sblock]
 

Srry people, I've been busy with last week studying for this weeks midterms. Midterms go for the rest of the week I'll post again after that (friday, saturday)
