Pathfinder 1E [IC] Pathfinder: Jade Regent

"Nice!" chuckled Fastus, eyes shining as he skidded to a messy halt just past her: he'd been half-fearing that she'd just turn tail and run! "Now we're talking!"

He closed back in and struck, testing her defenses with wild, aggressive swings.

OOC: This whole thing is Fastus' version of Bless, believe it or not. And since he considers everybody here an ally, EVERYBODY gets +1 to hit and to resist fear.

~ In the swamp ~

Jariah nodded, “I agree that we should not try following him into the swamp today. We could wait a little while to see if he returns, but my instincts are that he might not be coming back this day at all. And, if he is in trouble, we would need the help of the others.”

Jakira looked up at his mistress. “So, we not huntin’ gobs? Wat ‘bout da snakes? Can I eat da mice?”

Jariah shrugged, “I suppose the snakes would need to be fed sometime, but if he is leaving them overnight I suspect he fed them well to tide them over. We can keep the mice until tomorrow.”

The feline eidolon sniffed or harrumphed in a pouting tone.

Wireth nods. "Big snakes can go awhile on a meal," he confirms. "And I'm not keen on sitting on a doorstep. Okay, let's head back to town. We can fill the others in and come back as a group when we're all ready."

With a quick whistle, he sends Nairo back into the air, then sets his own large feet to the path back to town.

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

~ In the swamp ~

Jariah herself had nothing better to do with the rest of the afternoon. She would not have minded waiting an hour or two.

However, after all her insistence that they come out here, she did not think she could continue to press further. It had been a trip that was providing little in the way of results.

She sighed, “Ah well. I suppose we might as well head back now then.”

Jakira grumbled, “Eh? That’s it? Pahhh.” He said nothing further but looked back at his mistress who had the look of mentally talking with him. Nothing else was said aloud, but the eidolon stopped complaining and began leading the way back.

[Guest 11456]

Jariah, Wireth, Jakira & Nairo

The small group travels back the way they came. Their trip back is as uneventful as their trip out. After less then an hour they are back in town.

 

[Shayuri]

The smell is Suldrel's first warning.

Evidently, after waiting a little while, Sachiko...who'd gone in anticipating food...had decided to take things into her own hands.

Stew, by the smell of it. Yes, throwing anything edible at hand into a pot of water and then boiling it sounded like Sachi's style.

He heard the humming next. And sloshing.

"Hm...more salt?" Sachiko wondered aloud as Suldrel pushed the hanging pelt aside and moved into covered cookpit area that meals were prepared in. He saw Sachiko standing at one of the big iron cookpots that she'd inexpertly set up over the fire. One of the props was a bit off, and the pot was listing a little to right as a result. A good push would knock it over at this point.

The smell wasn't bad, exactly...he wasn't sure what it was though. It didn't smell like any soup or stew he'd ever had before, and that was saying something.

She broke a piece of salt off of a larger mass, and stirred it in, swaying her hips a little as she hummed to herself...so engrossed in what she was doing that she didn't notice Suldrel at all.

 

[Kaodi]

"Is that... your interpretation of authentic goblinoid dining?" asks Suldrel with a combination of reproachfulness and teasing. The elf grabs another spoon and reaches in scoop up a bit to taste. His expression is inscrutable as it passes through his lips. "Yes, more salt," is all he says. However amusing it might be to let his sister spring her pure concoction on her friends, the fact is that they were guests and that meant at least some effort must be given to being hospitable.

 

[Graybeard]

Elsbeth

Fastus was a better fighter than she was. There was no doubt about that statement. He had tagged her with his stick, not hard, but enough to leave a bruise. She was no stranger to bruises, having received plenty during her training. She will never forget going to bed, her body bruised and aching all over.

She moved around a bit, trying to find a good position. Her fighting ability with anything other than spells was practically nonexistent but she had to be able to fight without spells if needed.

This time Elsbeth tried to sweep Fastus's legs out from under him. It was a trick used on her numerous times during her training until she learned to leap out of the way.

OOC: attack = 1d20+0=2

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

~ Back In Sandpoint ~

With the arrival back in Sandpoint, Jariah was about ready to return to Koya’s. She was pretty much penniless and had nothing else that she could be doing until the morrow. Nothing except caring for the mice they were going to give to the Warden as a gift for his snakes.

She looked to Wireth and asked, “Now what? Are we just going to meet up with the others in the morning? Or try to find them now and tell them what little we learned?”

OOC: Was going to suggest we summarize the rest of the bout with a single roll or something, but since Tailspiner's going to be AWOL for a while yet :


She went too low though and he just leapt over it. But his slower right leg wasn't quite quick enough and there WAS a subdued smack of wood against boot leather... Not enough to make him loose his balance though, apparently.

"Ow?" commented Fastus, still grinning wide and now gently hazing the air above him with his growing heat signature. "Not going to be THAT easy, Elli... And THIS is how it's done!" And he went for his own sweeping trip maneuver.

OOC: Trip Attempt: 1d20+4=21. Success! Elsbeth goes down but gets an AoO against Fastus (don't forget to add the +1 from the Bless, right?).
