Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[DM_Matt]

"The re-buff was not meant to offend, Master Zarun. All can plainly see the efforts your men have made in the defense of this great City. We have seen Kayla's skill with a blade first hand and would gladly take her over some unknown. I was concerned for her well being is all. The decision can be hers. If she feels she is ready, we will find a way to accomodate her. If she does not, then we will have to discuss other alternatives."

OOC: In case I forget to mention it later, Timrin will have Devran 'assigned' as Maggie's personal physician (and defacto bodyguard). Timrin is very wary of leaving her alone in this explosive political climate.

Zarun accepts this "Very well. If she is ready, she will report to your base within the hour. Good luck on your mission. The fate of the region hangs on this battle."

Soon after you arrive back at your base, Kayla arrives with her gear, looking rather concerned. "He was rather insistant that I go with you guys. Of course, he wanted me to report on your actions when we get back. I'm afraid that he may be getting suspicious and trying to get me out of the way at the same time. Of course, I should probably have taken the hint when he probably left me for dead. I mean, he was there before those damn cats decided that I was worth two of them going after me at once, then next thing I know hes nowhere to be found and Murdoch <This was gloosed over, so I rolled a die for who> is pulling me out of some rubble and then suddenly I'm in your infirmiry." (She left out what she SAID to Murdoch: "YOU guys...again...you're SUCH...bad luck," though she may not remember saying it)

IC:
Alethia mentally replies through Naverone. They would be willing to guard it and take appropriate actions. However, my temple as a general rule doesn't exactly have alot of paladins around and if your temple could supply a brace, that would make the gem that much more secure. she said.

Its probable that Beor will come guard it, since the mission remains his responsability to some extent.

ooc:
Who did Naverone and Alethia save exactly when that building came down, not to mention the rest of the various nobles as well in the area. Beorn is a good idea. I was just going on the assumption that a CG goddess wouldn't as a general rule deal much with LG paladins. Holy liberators or other CG paladin varients maybe.... But not LG Paly's.

IC:
Alethia grinned. "Hay, at least your still alive and in one piece, That counts for something, doesn't it?"

Timrin responds, "You are most likely correct on all counts. That must mean he has something to be nervous about."

"Dame Kayla, it is doubtful Zarun passed this on to you but we originally rebuffed your accompanying us out of simple regard for your health. The choice was supposed to be yours, if and only if, you were fully recovered. Are you truly ready and willing to join us?"

OOC: We must decide whether we actually want the gem to be secured away or if we only want to pretend to do so so that our enemy will take it? Since we will not be around to lay a trap, I suggest the latter. We should arrange for a spirited but puposely inadequate defense of the gem; we want our enemy to recover it. Some innocents may lose their lives in this defense and thus we must chose the defenders with great care. That is why I suggested the Temple of Selune. Our enemy would be watching it, it would make sense, and her clerics would be most willing to accept the possible sacrifices that must be made. This is just one thought however...

That sounds like th eopposite of Alethia's plan. You two should discuss this.

"First of all, never call me dame again. Second, I don't really have a choice. Yes I'm still sore, yes I'm not quite at my best, but I'm not going to stay with Zarun at the moment since if he's trying to get rid of me he very well might have me killed if I stay right now...and I'm not going to stay here and let the fight go on without me, either. And I suppose I owe you guys for the other night, anyway. And thank you all for that, really, especially Murdoch (going over and hugs him) and, uh, whoever it was that was taking care of me in the infirmiry. I must admit I don't recall."

ooc:
I was hoping more to lure the twice damned in the city out into the open before we left with the gem. Securing the base and the city is our top priority at the moment.

"I promise not to beat you into unconsciousness this time...unless I am required to do so by the situation", Shando says with a wry smile on his lips.

"Knocks on the head tend to really screw with your memory. I should know. Seems like the bad-guys like to use mine for club-practice." Alethia joked.

(FYI, Kayla's wounds were primarily on account of swords and the explosion)
