Naz, I'm sorry to hear that - of course, rl has the priority.
Wish (oh, right, I'm a divine caster... Miracle, then) you luck, young man!

So Redclaw, since your at the other side of the table in my two games, what is the chance I'll be fighting a revenge dragon sometime soon.

You'll know if a dragon pops up, cuz Bregan will disappear.

[sblock=Appearance]Alexa is shorter than most people, but she has a dancer's body: compact, lithe, and beautiful. Her emerald green eyes flash with anger or sparkle with happiness, and her intricately braided long red hair swirls and sways with her movements.[/sblock]
[sblock=Personality]Alexa craves adventure. She always knew that she wasn't destined to be "just an innkeep's daughter", much to her parents' disapproval. She's always ready to try new food, new games, new dances, new fighting styles - anything new is an adventure to her. Still, she doesn't shy away from old things, either. Her holy symbol of the Silver Flame, for example, has been with her since she was a small girl, and is worn around the edges from constant use in prayers.[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Alexa Shaless was born to Edim and Hara Shaless, the owners and operators of a small inn in a small town in backwater Breland. Her parents are staunch Silver Flame supporters, and this is one of the few things Alexa follows their example in; her faith in the Flame has never faltered through all of her experiences. Alexa has always been light on her feet, and when she was little her parents often found her dancing or swaying to music - real or imagined. At first they tried to discourage her, but Alexa mostly ignored them and continued to grow in skill as a dancer. Edim finally gave in when locals started asking for "that sweet little dancer girl" to serve their food - more out of frustration than greed or pride.
Alexa's outgoing personality served her well during her time at the inn, earning her the friendship of most of the town, including the Burden brothers. When the goblins started attacking their town and Alexa heard that the brothers were planning to lead a group to deal with the goblins, she begged, pleaded, wheedled, and flirted with them mercilessly until they eventually gave in and let her tag along - she did have some blade-skill, at least, having been taught basic self-defense by a passing Knight of the Silver Flame years ago.
No one really thought Alexa would last even a night out in the wilds, but to everyone's surprise - even her own - she proved a capable fighter, and her graceful sword-dance and fearless nature seemed to inspire everyone to greater heights of courage and skill. Within the first two days, her place was cemented in the small band.
After the group finally returned home, Alexa refused to return to her old life as a serving girl for her parents, which caused tension in the family, much to her regret. Alexa loves her parents, but not enough to settle down to a 'normal' life after such an exciting adventure! She used her part of the goblins' loot to buy a small place in town to call her own and lived in relative comfort until she was approached with the idea of re-forming the group as an official chartered Adventurer's Guild. The idea excited and inspired her, and she became one of the proto-guild's staunchest champions and advocates.[/sblock]
[sblock=Shiftweave Dress]Alexa's shiftweave dress, normally a plain-looking off-white dress shot through with random shimmering threads, has five alternate appearances:
I'll also borrow Creamsteak's mini-statblock for combat, since Alexa is at least as complex in a fight as a single-class crusader. I'll keep track of her party buffs in the stat block, too, which should help everyone remember her up to +3 inspire courage

[sblock=Shiftweave Dress]Alexa's shiftweave dress, normally a plain-looking off-white dress shot through with random shimmering threads, has five alternate appearances:
- A plain tan peasant's blouse and long brown skirt.
- A sturdy traveler's outfit, complete with long pants and gloves.
- A royal blue gown covered in ribbons, gold and silver threads, and dangling gems.
- A formal dress of peach-colored fabric with a light green corset.
- A loose-fitting dancer's outfit of diaphanous red silk.
I'll also borrow Creamsteak's mini-statblock for combat, since Alexa is at least as complex in a fight as a single-class crusader. I'll keep track of her party buffs in the stat block, too, which should help everyone remember her up to +3 inspire courage

You're totally missing the eye-patch. It's all about the eye patch.
[sblock=Zurai]
Alexa looks good. On a purely aesthetic matter, the image of a 5'7" woman weighing only 90 pounds seems unhealthy.
But, putting that aside...
Shortly before leaving on your most recent foray into the wide world of adventuring, Hara showed up at Alexa's door, to see her daughter one last time. With her she brings a gift left at the inn for Alexa by a traveller. I don't know if you remember Old Genithos, my dear, Hara says. He spent a number of summers staying at the inn when you were much younger, and then came back through once in a while for a few years after that. He was always happy to sit in the common room of a night and tell you glorious stories of far-off lands. In fact, since you started up with this...lifestyle, your father has turned him away from the inn twice out of spite, blaming poor Genithos for your waywardness.
Anyway, he found me at market last week and asked me to deliver these to you, saying that you might find them useful. With that, and a look of maternal worry, she gives Alexa a pair of sandals that look to be made out of the hide of some sort of cat.
They are, in fact, Sandals of Sprinting, which allow you, three times per day, to add a 30' enhancement bonus to your land speed.
Alexa was also given a pair of Devestation Gauntlets bearing the mark of the Silver Flame by the passing knight who trained her in bladework all those years ago. These gauntlets have 3 charges, refreshed each morning, that allow you to extra damage on a confirmed critical hit. Once the crit is confirmed, but before you roll damage, you can choose to expend 1 or more charges. 1 charge will add 2d6 damage to the hit, 2 charges will add 3d6 damage, and 3 charges will add 4d6 damage.
In rolling your own attack/damage I will ask that you roll the confirmation and then decide whether to use them. If the confirmation roll isn't enough, it won't count as one of your charges for the day. [/sblock]

Yeah, you know, I have no idea what was going through my head when I wrote that. Checking a BMI guide (which is at least a good general guideline), anything under 128 is "under weight" and it doesn't go to "slightly overweight" until 160, so let's call her a nice round 140 - though don't you dare ask her how much she weighs!
[sblock=Redclaw]Dunno if you were intending to RP this out, but I'm gonna anyway cuz Alexa feels bad about the strife she's caused in her family.
Alexa hugs her mother tightly then accepts the gift with a grateful, "Thank you, Mama. I love you, and I love Papa too. I'm sorry that we never seem to be able to be a happy family any more..." She dashes a tear from her cheek, then continues, "Thank Genithos for me too, if you see him again. I remember him telling me stories when I was little. Of course I do! He always told the best stories. He didn't change me, though... no one did. I wish Papa would realize this is just who I am..." she sighs softly.
"I'm sorry, there I go again. I promised I wouldn't do that any more. Please, let Papa know I love him, and I promise to come back to both of you." With that, she hugs her mother once again.[/sblock]
