Evan's Campaign [IC]

[Icaelus]

Icarus was suddenly a bit hard of hearing.
"Ahem. Eh. What's that you say, me boy? Hafta speak up, you know! Grandpa Icar can't hear too well! Oh, you say you want her clothes! If that's fine with you. A bit strange, though! Guy wearing dresses and all."
His voice instantly changed to that of a very old man, raspy and loud as if he thought you couldn't hear him. Icarus grinned at Dax and tapped his grimoire, pointing at him. The neatly folded pile of clothes in Sierra's arms glowed and instantly replaced Dax's. Suddenly Dax was running in robes with a ripped front. Not too manly. His clothes reappeared in his arms in a neatly folded pile, just like Sierra's.

[daxtinator396]

Dax gives an,"Eep!" of surprise,"Ah! What the hell Icarus! Next you`ll start giving Miss Lee man clothes..." Dax walks next to Miss Lee.

[Sortaix]

Sierra looked down to herself, spending a few minutes taking in the situation. Once she realized what she looked like, she did not say a word. Sierra then just walked past Dax, toward the direction the group was previously going. As she passed by Dax she said.
"Go ahead and keep my clothes, just take them back to the tavern when you guys are done with your quest, and ask the bartender to hold them till I get back to the tavern. I'll pay him for keeping my clothes safe. I am not putting up with this shit."
Sierra then walked out to the forest intent on finding the goblins by herself, and frying every last one of the little monsters. She really needed something to kill right now, her tail swishing back and forth in an extremely pissed off manner.

[BlueLight]

"So long as you've bathed i have not problems with your company." she says in a relaxed tone. She grabs her pint of ale and sips it gingerly... it looks silly but still.

[Oroboros1337]

Inn of the Enchanted Centaur

The bard flashes a winning smile to Chloe when she dances so near to him, and the brush of her thigh is positively electrifying to him. "It seems I am transparent tonight. You are as enchanting as you always are, my dear sweet dancer, and I do so hope you will find some time to dance with me. I have my room here, we could take a little break, head upstairs, enjoy a glass of wine, and whatever else we want to put to our lips."

When Sasuka hails the guards, they stop their exit and instead head on over to chat with her. They produce the scroll again with the picture of the target. The illustration on the paper is incredibly well constructed, either made by a master artisan or drawn through magic. It is a rather thugly looking fellow, his head bald on top and his chaw quite distinctly chiseled. While he looks almost human, there are some distinctive traits of orcish heritage on the fellow's face. "He goes by the name of Illian, he was last spotted in the Muddied Oar, a tavern on the west end of Border Town that caters to the poorest, and usually the most criminal, of the city. Information that leads to his capture is a gold, but we'll pay 5 to anyone that can deliver him to us alive."

Mar's reply to the farmer that has just joined her at her table is at first greeted with a smile, then a small frown as he tries to decide if he's being mocked, before he finally settles on not caring if he is, because she's pretty. "This morning, before I headed for work. Work was pretty light too, driving the ox while it handled the plow work. You, uh, you didn't mention your name. Are you an adventurer? I've always been fond of adventurers and you do kinda look the type."


Farms

Dax, Icarus, and Leyaniin approach the nearest of the farmsteads. It's a rather humble abode, a one floor building big enough for perhaps four rooms to it. It's got mud brick walls and a thatched roof to it. As they draw closer, they can see there are two people home. One lad perhaps about 17 years old with his shirt off and chopping firewood around the side of the house. In a low fenced off area, a dark haired woman maybe about in her mid thirties is feeding a pile of chickens. When the group arrives, both of them become interested and the woman comes to the edge of the chicken coupe. She leans on a fence post, it comes up to about her waist, the posture presenting a nice view of her ample breasts in her low cut peasant's blouse. "Afternoon, travellers. I have to say, you've got a rather unusual mount. What brings you all the way out here?"


The Dark Woods

On her own, Sierra passes into the darkened woods at a rapid and far from careful pace. In her current rage, it doesn't take terribly long for trouble to find her. Trouble she totally doesn't see coming either. (Cunning tested, rolled a 1, mage staves don't help much for detecting ambushes)

She's perhaps twenty minutes into the forest when the unsuspecting wolf mage has a rope snap up in front of her feet from the forest floor. It was a clumbsy attempt, but well camouflaged enough to get past he in her current angry state. It catches her feet up and sends her toppling to the ground. The moment she hits the dirt, she hears the bushes shake and rustle as goblins pour out around her, laughing and cackling as they do, ropes in hand while they jump on her limbs and her back. (Might tested, 1, the dice seem to hate you... versus a goblin roll of 2, +1 for their knives, and +3 for numbers) As she struggles, she can feel the prick of knives against her skin, restricting her movement even as she feels the coils of ropes wrapping around her limbs, binding her. Once the flurry of activity comes to an end, she sees two booted feet step in front of her, and another cackle. "Lookie what we got here, some kinda monster hunter... guess what I've got to say to you.... boo!" That gains a chorus of laughter from the rest of the goblins that have tackled the wolf.


The Ruins of Lemias

As Michiko dives in for her devastating assault, the bandit's eyes open a bit wider and he brings his club above his head ready to bring down a double handed swing, knowing it's the only thing that can down the ninja girl before she can reach him. (Might test, Michiko gets 5+1 for her blade, bandit scores 3+1 for his club, win goes to Michiko. Feel free to hurt this guy as little or as much as you like, the fight is yours.)

[Sortaix]

Sierra growls deeply at the goblin leader.
You little son of a bitch! I'm going to kill every last one of you little monsters."
Sierra then summons flame to her hands to burn the ropes, if that's successful, she follows up by shooting the fire out all around her, to fry anyone standing close enough. The swirling flame then begins to expand around her, making the flaming circle around her grow, with each passing moment.
(Does the bondage outfit offer any stat bonuses?)

[daxtinator396]

"Why hello Miss. We've come about the missing persons and the Nightstalker. Could you perhaps give us more information? The questboard can only give up so much you know." He smiles at her not the least bit put off his game by his current outfit.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Joseph's about to check the quest status board, when he catches a bard flirting with Chloe in his peripheral vision. For some unexplained reason, this prompts an impulse for him to eavesdrop...but that would be rude, and he doesn't want to be rude to her. She is providing a roof over his head, after all.

Instead, he simply reads the quest board, but from an angle that will let him catch the bard in the act, should anything..."unexpected" happen. Hey, you never know...

[Lady Foxy]

Chloe giggled so charmingly when he complimented her and offered such a thing, although she already had plans for the night. ''I'd accept the offer to take a little break, but I've got to head home soon.. Tomorrow, maybe? I'll promise I won't disappoint.'' She whispered with a smirk and a nod, using her exotic dance to move away from him and between the tables; her 'target' standing near the quest board.

''Are you coming with me towards home, or are you going to stand here?'' Chloe so suddenly said on Joseph's right ear, blowing some of her fresh; calm breath onto his skin as she danced so dangerously close to him.

[Icaelus]

Icarus leaned forward casually on his mighty pink steed, giving Dax a rather bored glance.
"This isn't fun. Cat, do something. Dance a jig in that dress!"
He clapped rather excitedly at the thought of Dax doing a stupid Irish jig in Sierra's ripped dress. Hm. Maybe he should've returned that outfit? Sierra did look a tad bit angry. Ah well, nevermind.

[Rooiehaan #2]

"Yo proletarian, yo" Leya greeted, grabbing her crotch and waving her right arm about like she was grabbing something big like rappers do. "We came ta find that thaing 'a you's, ta kill it and get some dough! Plus, saving soldiers for the cause is a good thaing too, yo!"
Its only then that she noticed how the guy, barechested, was chopping firewood, and without hesitation she walks over. "Yo yo yo, axe-man! what're ya think ya doin? Choppin' wood, like some lumberjacka, yo? Ya better not cap dat tree, ya know i'm sayin'? People call me terraphile, but its da truth yo; dem tree's be hurtin'!"

[napsii]

"You really thought I was that weak!?" demanded Michiko as she bounded through the air. Her razor sharp blade seemed to whistle as it cut through empty space, but as soon as it contacted flesh it practically howled with a mix of satisfaction and delight. The ninja girl's momentum didn't give her much opportunity to carefully direct her attack, but she managed to do significant damage by the sheer number of attacks.

As she had promised just seconds before, she delivered two wild swings to his forearms, slicing through the flesh and bone with heavenly grace and erupting a spray of blood as his hands flew off. From there, her already bloodied blade cleaved through most of his upper body and delivered an innumerable amount of deep slashes to his face and upper body, shredding up his armor as well. And lastly, even though at this point exsanguination from blood loss would guarantee his death even if she just walked away right now, her last and greatest hit -- a powered swing to top off her cuts and slashes -- aimed for his shoulder and made the coup de grace with a cleave his arm straight off at the joint.

Flecked with blood, Michiko right herself mid air as she passed him and made a *krzzzt* noise as her feet touched the gravelly soil, skidding her to a stop.

The sudden stop rung the blood from her blade, and she panted, looking over her shoulder.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Joseph is at first startled by Chloe's unnoticed approach and her sudden beckon, but her sweet breath and amazing dance-moves got him eased up in a jiffy. Hard for any man to brush off a move like that. Turning around, he replies with a smile: "Oh, I'll head home, don't worry. I was just killing time while you chatted with your...business partner, am I right? Didn't want to interrupt you two." His response is said with a mostly casual air about it, though there's a hint of a more flirtatious tone in there, as well. Of course, who could resist a rare beauty like Chloe?

[daxtinator396]

"My name is Dax you know..." He looks about and does a little a jig with a smile,"There you happy now? So miss what can you tell us?"

[Lady Foxy]

Chloe gave a nod when he mentioned her 'business partner', but in reality she used the bard for her own financial purposes; nothing else. ''Yes, but you don't need to be concerned now.. Oh? Interrupt us? Who said you would?'' She asked with a frown while her soothing, nice curves danced away against Joseph's body. Before she hypnotized him with her dance any further more, she stopped when he had a leg curled around one of his legs and her hands on his shoulders.. ''But then, are you coming along or not?'' Chloe asked almost in a soft whisper, stepping away from him and into the doors leading outside.

[BlueLight]

"Yes...
What is your type.' Mar said tilting her head at this strange man.

[dndman997]

Sasuka got up and left the tavern and started towards the muddied oar to look for the wanted man.

[Oroboros1337]

The Dark Woods

(The bondage outfit won't offer any combat bonuses, but it probably would give a bonus if she wanted to get laid, +1 to her just seducing people, a +3 where she tries to make herself seem like a submissive. If it weren't for the gag and the zippers, I might consider a +1 to intimidate for 'mistress' style bondage gear, if you acquired some in the future.)

(Combat rolls for this - Sierra, 4+2 for her staff is 6, Goblins 2+4 for numbers)

The arcane words of the fire mage's spell form up well and ignite the rope around her wrist, setting it a flame and scorching the hands of the goblins tying it. They yelp and jump back. The flames lick along the rope however and scorch her as well, singing her hands. As she tries to get up and deliver a more proper fire spell though, she feels the gobling chief shoulder check into her ample chest, knocking her back, and the goblins pounce again. "Bitch, I'll have you for that!" All in all, the fire spell has forestalled her assailants, but she hasn't managed to slay them yet in this deadlocked combat.

(Two of the goblins will be out of the next round tending to their burnt hands, but their chief has joined in this time and your hands are going to be a -1 to might and cunning rolls involving them until you get a chance to rest and heal them)



Farms

Dax's ready smile and his non-chalant manner towards his new and damaged clothes seem infectious to the farm woman who seems to take from his cue and doesn't worry about it. (Charm 3+1 for his guide, enough for this) As far as the elf woman's strange manner, it seems to off put the more conservative farmer woman, but she's polite enough to take it in stride and give the elf a smile and a nod in acknowledgement. She then tells Joseph, "The Night Stalker? Oh, well I certainly do wish you the best of luck with that. It's a bit... terrifying, you know? When Tisha first went missing, we all just thought she got wanderlust. She'd been talking about going adventuring for a while. Yana wasn't the type to leave home though, so we all got suspicious when nobody could find her after two days. I wish I could tell you what it was or where it is lairing. We haven't been able to find any tracks where the attacks are coming from, so somehow it isn't leaving any. It also only seems to attack at night."

The 17 year old with an axe's eyes widen somewhat when he sees Leyaniin approach, apparently really liking what he sees. When she gets in close and starts lecturing him though, he grins a huge grin at her and says, "Hey, easy now, I love the trees as much as the next guy, but it gets kind of cold at night and I don't want to freeze to death, y'know? I... well... I might be able to not chop up any more firewood if you were staying for the night, I have to imagine you'd be pretty warm. You, uh, you could stay and protect us from this Night Stalker." He's done his best to throw on a charming smile. He's got some natural good looks and a great body from the work he does on his charm, but he lacks that smooth social grace of a man of the city and is definitely flirting out of his depth.


Inn of the Enchanted Centaur

When the bard hears Chloe promise tomorrow, he flashes a grin at her and says, "Ah, I knew you'd be disappointing people tonight. Still, I shall hold you to your promise, I look very forward to seeing what you do tomorrow to make up for depriving me of your company today." With that, he turns his attention back to the crowd and his heroic ballads.

Joseph earns a number of jealous looks from the menfolk in the Inn when Chloe wraps herself around him, suddenly angrily demanding to themselves or their neighbor quietly what the lucky bastard had done to warrant getting a chance at her. They try to keep it out of her hearing level though, not wanting to anger the dancer. They do all pretty well agree though that they'd kill to be Joseph right about now.

At Mar's table, the man she's talking to shoots her another smile and says, "Well, my type is the type of woman who can make something of herself. So many just stay at home and sew, or gossip, or all the rest of it. It's like they think being pretty is their job. Adventurers though, they look like the kind of women that can do something. You look like you could do something. I really like that in a woman."


The Muddied Oar

As the guards mentioned, the Muddied Oar is definitely a tavern that caters to the 'economically and legally disadvantaged' of society. The neighborhood itself is quite sketchy, the kind of place where the guards don't patrol it that often because it's dangerous to them and they don't care too much for those who live there to prevent crime. The Muddied Oar itself when she gets there is a surprisingly large building. The entrance leads into a open first floor, a bar across the far wall that has on display a rack of alcoholic bottles for people to pick their beverage of choice from. Tables are scattered around the room almost haphazardly, there is no clear line of path from anywhere to anywhere due to having to walk around patrons, and that is probably by design for guard raids. There are booths around the floor for more private drinks and chatting over schemes. There is also an entire second floor balcony that runs along the inside of the building, forming a giant "O" of extra tables and booths for drinking and dining. Also, as promised, there are an awful lot of ruffians here. Close cousins of those gamblers that were at the Inn of the Enchanted Centaur. The bouncer here at the Muddied Oar seems to actually be three people, all burly and thugly and their leader an actual bugbear.


Ruins of Lemias

Michiko speeds past this random bandit and her attacks are just too quick for him to stop. He stares down at the stumps of his hands after she passes him by, staring at them not comprehending what has just happened while the spurts of blood spray from the stumps. While he watches though, that arm of his falls from his body cleanly and hits the dirt, and then the whole bandit himself follows shortly after. He lays dead in a pool of blood.

[dndman997]

Sasuka arrived at the muddied oar looking around for a bit before going over to lead bouncer "excuse me" she said "im looking for someone who was last seen here" she then described the one she was looking for to the burly bugbear.

[Rooiehaan #2]

Leyaniin was certainly taken aback by the young guy's flirtatious attempts of getting to know her better and, remembering an old saying that people could be swooned by the most cheesiest of one-liners in this realm, she couldn't help but consider the possibilities for a second. With a slight blush she whiffed her hair back and reluctantly dismissed the idea, and said "Ey sawty no disrespect aight, but ya skinny ass still holdin dat axe aight warmin' me up. Tell ya what though, i'z feelin ya style and feelin ya flow, so i's gonna holler when ma hookah turns bi and is ready ta go, Kay? It'd be selfish ta keep some' as fine as thát all pour moi after all" She ended grinning, making a curvy motion with her right hand while she said 'thát'.
"Till then though, i would apprecy-ate any dirt ya got on that Nightstalkah before i's gonna cap his ass"
