Planetouched Peril

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Taking one last look over the area the wound was inflicted Fianna smiles, "Glad to hear it!"

*Watching Kani wipe the blood off his spear while he questions the next move. "Just leave him. I don’t think he will be anymore trouble." *

* Turning to take in their surrounds once more Fianna starts to walk toward the large group gathered around the wagons. "Lets see if anyone else needs healing or anything else from us before we go."*

He is really anxious to get out of here. I have to admit I would like to leave this place as well, but I need to make sure everyone is all right.

 

[Jolmo]

*Kani doesn't give any reponse to Fiannas words besides going towards the caravan with her.*

Though not understanding her concern for the travellers, Kani has found that most people gets far easier attached to others than he does. He accepts that, as he does most things, and just tries to aid those he are with, not caring for reasons.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*One of the pilgrims, a vast, motherly-looking figure goes over to Kani and Fianna.*

"I'm Mother Iray, and I just wanted to extend our thanks for your aid in our time of need. Please, the least we can do is share bread and blessings with you," she says with a winsome smile, like that of a farmwife.

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

"Hello, I am Fianna Glade and this is my traveling companion Kani Icebreath. I am glad to see you are unharmed."

*Looking to Kani, Fianna questions him with a look asking "do you want to join them?" *

Azure, Radiance Genasi Bard 1

*Once she has seen to the comfort of those she can, Azure walks back towards the front of the caravan as she sees a strange man there. Walking by the seeming shrine of dead, she places a faintly glowing blue hand upon Jabin's arm, giving him a little squeeze and a smile before moving on. The genasi man had never been one to talk with her. However, when she was in need, he had come to her assistance. Her heart went out to the strange looking mage who had an inner beauty shining in his countenance.*

*Continuing on, she draws near the stranger just in time to hear him introduce himself as a priest of Pelor.*

"Thank you for any help you can give these people. Though not completely unexpected, the attack was.. devastating. We had a priest guarding the caravan with us up until a few days ago, your timely presence is much appreciated."

*In the clearing, the two bandits have begun to talk to each other, their faces both astonished and frightened..*

"I can't believe we just did that! What in Beshaba's name happened to the plan? I thought Kedrin just wanted the goods, not to kill them!"

"I don't know, I just started shooting-"

"Those guards are going to be looking for us, or if they don't, they'll go to Lord Ulrich and get his guards out here, and then we'll be hung for certain!"

"Don't panic, we just have to get as far away from here as possible..."

While they are talking Ashlie would like to move closer, in the cover of the trees to at least 30 feet from them. Hide+12, Move Silently+13. She will have her bow ready. If she sees them notice her, she will shoot at the one that said 'don't panic'.

If they don't notice her, she listens some more and tries to spot anything around them. If they try to run off, she will let the arrow fly, trying to kill the aformentioned bandit. If they stay, she waits for Zaphira to draw their attention so that she can flank them.

OOC - How far away is she from them as they are talking? If more than 30 feet, she wants to move in, to make sure she can get a good shot on them. If already at 30 feet, she will wait to see if they talk some more about where they are headed. If they turn to leave, she will shoot at the one seemingly in charge. Hope this all make sense to you. She is intent on killing one outright, and letting the other one decide his fate by laying down his weapon and talking.

Attack Bonus (Surprise) +5 if within 30 feet +4 if more than 30 feet
1d6 damage (+1 if within 30 feet)
+1d6 Sneak Attack damage if within 30 feet

 

[Jolmo]

do you want to join them?

*Kani shrugs his shoulders* "Sure"

Another change. We are more now, with the travellers.

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Fianna and Kani follow Mother Iray to the wagons and the large group clustered around them.*

 

[Ghostknight]

"Thank you for any help you can give these people. Though not completely unexpected, the attack was.. devastating. We had a priest guarding the caravan with us up until a few days ago, your timely presence is much appreciated."

*Looking at the dead bodies, of both the nandits and the dead guard, Heliad sighs.

"I just wish I could have gotten here sooner. Perhaps if I had been faster I would have been able to prevent some of the deaths, particularly that of your companion. If there is any further assistance I can render, please tell me. I am anxious to help and assist you all. Truthfully, life in a small village is not quite as fulfilling as one would imagine it to be."

 

[Verbatim]

*Staring at the brand on the bandits' arms, Jabin begins to lose himself in his thoughts, as he considered the ramifications of their actions should the bandits have been nothing more than unwilling pawns in someone else's chess board.*

So many shades of gray, but which one will show us the true color that we seek?

*A soft touch upon his arm brought Jabin out of his musing, and looking up he saw the Angel smiling down at him, and that beautiful sight momentarily stole his breath and his words from him. His mind took in her perfect smile and he felt that even if the bandits were to suddenly return and launch a thousand arrows into him, his death would have not been in vain, as something he had done had pleased her.*

*As she removed her hand to walk away, Jabin stood as well and opened his mouth to speak to her, to tell her he was sorry that his spells had failed to protect her when she needed them the most, but no sound escaped from his lips as she walked away, leaving Jabin once more alone next to the bodies of the dead.*

Perhaps it is for the best...what could I say to her that countless others have not said before. Truly I could never be anything more than a travelling companion to her, and it is time I start realizing that fact.

Steeling his resolve, Jabin began looking for the small creature who had travelled with him so far, fearing that in the combat, something had happened to him.

"Where are you Tragus? Are you alright?"
