Honeysuckle
left-aligned image

Honeysuckle gives the newcomer a long, hard stare, with intense snorts coming from his cow-like nostrils.
All of a sudden he erupts with a booming laugh. "Oh! It been a long time! You look different, friend. I different too. Am magic now too!" Honeysuckle tries his hardest to make one of the exploding fairies materialize, but no avail. He shrugs off the idea like he never said it and then grabs Rolan in a tight embrace. "I rememeber Bullywogs! I still have medal." He turns to the party with a wide smile. "It ok. This is..." he gives a big wink to Rolan "...friend...and this is Glanteth, Rikke and Torgrun. Sit, sit! Let's tell you our story!"

Rikke Skyhammer
right-aligned image
”You fought an alligator? That’s nifty. I’ve never seen an alligator. We did fight a giant crocodile… umm… last week, and that was scary. He was all ‘Chomp, chomp, chomp’ and I was trying to throw a potion of divination in his mouth to show him the future where we beat him up, but it’s real hard to throw when you’re in the ocean dodging teeth,” Rikke shook her head as she remembered the harrowing experience, only to look up and realize that she’d missed something. Shrugging, she continued on with a wave to Rolen, ”Well, anyways, it all started when we went looking for missing people. Then some missing rod. Then some missing people, More missing people. A missing person. Now we’re here. Lots of demons, lots of fires, but I think we’re doing okay.”

She gave a hearty thumbs up on that last point, although the nervous smile she shot the others belied a little concern. Sure they were still alive, but she sometimes worried about their scrappy, barely surviving adventuring style. Sometimes… until a waitress put a drink down in front of her and the thoughts drifted off into nothing. ”So now we’re going to fight the bigger, boss demon person lady, once we find her I guess, and I think we’re going to win. Oh yeah, that's right, I’m Rikke.”

Glanteth Thorinson
left-aligned image
"Kmmph..." Glanteth snorts and begins coughing as he's taking a drink from his ale. He loved Rikke and how she always brought the lighter side of things to the surface, often when circumstances were the most grim. Finally recovering from his ale-choking bout, the Norseman turns back to the table, thankful he hadn't sprayed anyone. "Excuse me. I wasn't aware of the vampire situation. That sounds... well, I don't even know what to say. We've been chasing after this fiend-worshiping cult that's been abducting people from the town - thinking we're actually protecting the town - but in the meantime, vampires are running rampant in the streets? *sigh* Well, I guess we can only chase one hare at a time, otherwise both will escape us."

"So," looking the mysterious newcomer in the eye, "Honeysuckle says you're skilled in the arcane arts, if in a less conventional way than most." Glanteth raises his cup in a mock toast (not mocking, just not expecting the cup bang) before drinking from it. "You could really contribute to our party as long as you're all-in. Unfortunately, we have a Succubus to locate and kill. It's my bet that she'll have a ridiculous amount of minions to wade through as well. Are you up for it?"

Now to everyone at the table, "We can't really do anything at all until we get some kind of lead on where to find this Ignisora fiend. Ideas anyone?"

Torgrun Stonethrower - Hill Dwarf Druid(Sheet) (XP and Loot)
right-aligned image


The tension in Torgrun's muscles eased as he let out a small breath of relief when he realized the stranger was actually the fellow that he originally assumed him to be. "Aye, names Torgrun, Torgrun Stonethrower. Pleased ta meet ya," said the druid as he spat on his hand and stuck it out in greeting. "I'm sure glad HS recognized ya cause it would a been a shame ta have ta kill ya even before ya got a chance ta join us. Anyway, glad ta have another to help the cause."

Torgrun turned to HS and looked at the book. Turning back to Glanteth he replied, "Well maybe I can take a look at that book. I ain't skilled in that kinda magic learning but I have a bit of schoolin' and maybe it can give us some lead or somethin'. Maybe ya can help me go through it Glan." He flipped open the book and with Glanteth's help scanned the pages trying to make out anything that made sense to him.

"I can help too. Am magic after all!" offered the minotaur earnestly. He furrowed his brow and stared at the book intently. Not exactly reading, but looking for words he knew.

Already sitting next to Torgrun, Glanteth puts his hand on the Dwarf's shoulder. "casts guidanceVeiledning," then leans over to scan the same pages his friend is reading.

Even with Honeysuckle's "help," Torgrun cannot determine the intent of the ritual in the book, though he remains confident that he could follow the instructions there.

OOCDid your ADV roll privately.

Torgrun Stonethrower - Hill Dwarf Druid(Sheet) (XP and Loot)

Even with everyone's help it was tough going for the dwarf. It wasn't that he couldn't read it, of course he knew how to read after all. He wasn't a completely uneducated mountain dwarf or something. But he couldn't figure out the reasoning behind the words, the true meaning. "Aye, I ain't sure what everthin' means but I can follow the instructions I guess," said Torgrun with some resignation in his voice.

OOC: Sorry I forgot you did private rolls.

Rikke Skyhammer
right-aligned image
Looking around the table, Rikke could tell that things weren’t going well with the big ritual book. At least they could read it now, but Rikke knew that just because you could understand something, it didn’t mean you could understand it; like math, or baking. Fortunately, Rikke was a big-time adventurer and always had great ideas some of the time, and she figured this might be one of them.

”We need a wizard, I think. They’re always really smart mostly,” she said, though it wasn’t quite clear from her tone and expression if that was a statement or question. Turning to Glanteth, ”We could ask that guy at the other tavern… tall, human with, you know, the white hair and not very nice, you know, the guy. Or maybe the mustache man, Ozzy… Iggy… something. He wasn’t super helpful either most of the time, but now that we got Hip-hop he might be happier.”

Rolen - Warlock (Hexblade) Male Half-Elf

Adv Charm, Immune Sleep, if Adv, re-roll lowest d20Elven Accuracy, Dim and Dark as normal, See through Magical DarknessDevil Sight, : 120ft | Spell Slots 1st(LR) 2/2, 3rd(SR) 2/2 For Target: Crit on 19 or 20, +3 damageHexblade Curse(SR) 1/1 | If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome. Once you use this feature, you cant use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Favored of Gods 1/1 (SR)

Rolen looked at the book and shook his head, "I'm an actor, not an academic. I have no deep knowledge of subjects save acting and singing." Rolen tapped Comprehend Languages Helmthe strange device on his head, "Fortunately, I have acquired a bit of magic that helps me with reading. So, should you have something written in an obscure language, I could help with the translation. However, I would have no idea what it means."

" This brings me to a bit of a warning about my combat ability." Rolen chuckled, "When it comes to my fighting, my skills are sole those granted by my patron." Rolen tapped his staff and longbow, "When it comes to the weapons blessed by my patron, few are my equal. However, I'm at loss should I need to wield another weapon. Similarly, my magics are designed mostly for single combat."

Glanteth Thorinson
left-aligned image
Glanteth audibly snorted at the end of Rolen's statement. "Well, welcome to the life of an actual adventurer, Rolen. We may have a very full combat floor, if my suspicions are correct. If we're able to find this Succubus, I expect that she'll have quite a few minions in her service." Suddenly realizing how condescending his diatribe sounded in response to Rolen's admissions, he took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I just realized how badly that sounded as soon as my ears caught up with my mouth. Truly, I meant no offense. If your powers have been attuned to single combat though, I'm hoping you can begin thinking on how to adapt them to multiple enemies. All of our lives may depend on it." The Norseman held the newcomer's gaze gravely for a few moments, trying to accentuate the sincerity of his apology.

Addressing everyone now (including Rolen as an equal member), "Okay, I have a plan to begin and I hope you'll all trust me enough to follow." The Norseman grabs his mostly full tankard and drains it in a guzzling show. "Follow me and I'll explain on the way." Standing up so quickly, Thor's cleric almost knocked his chair backwards to the floor, but caught it just in time in the manner of a practiced drunk before heading for the door, his manner indicating his obvious belief that his companions were in tow.

Outside the tavern, Glanteth says over his shoulder, "I'm sorry, but first stop is the Gelch's. I have to see that baby so it's not nagging on me and I can focus my mind on other things." Immediately showing how unfocussed his mind is, the Viking heads straight for a cart vendor. "Meat on the street! I love this guy!" Glanteth pauses the party at the street vendor cooking beef kabobs over an open flame, coated with some kind of sticky sauce - teriyaki, he thought the man with an uncomfortably placed mole on his face had called it. Feeling gracious, he bought a kabob for everyone, then felt really weird about handing cooked beef to Honeysuckle, never having thought about the implications.

skipping and singing**"We're going to the Gelch's"**skipping and singing - seriously, I hope you can backtrack 4 chapters and dig up that ridiculous picture of Mr. Gelch when we get there. I loved that!

Just trying to move the game from planning to action. We spoke about some planning in OOC and I'm just looking to implement it. I hope nobody minds.

Torgrun Stonethrower - Hill Dwarf Druid(Sheet) (XP and Loot)
right-aligned image


Torgrun got up to follow Glanteth to go see the baby, making sure the twigs sticking out from his hide armor didn't accidentally snag on a loose drink. He knew that when the cleric of Thor got into his slightly inebriated state, there was no changing his mind, which was fine with him since they couldn't glean any useful information from the book. "Aye, on ta see Gelch," said Torgrun as if he knew who this Gelch person was.

Honeysuckle
left-aligned image

As they exited the tavern Honeysuckle mused on their next destination and Ms. Gelch. He racked his memory for the significance of the woman and was quiet for quite some time before then loudly coming to his conclusion "Oh! I hope Gelch didn't birth a demon!...Oh dear!"

Honeysuckle noticed Glanteth toying with his own difficulty concerning his offering. "Thank you...But no can eat. Cow not problem. That circle of life. But Honeysuckle cannot eat meat. Only vegetables. No digest, see? But if ok, can I give to dogs? And maybe birds? Not rats though. They greedy..."

Glanteth Thorinson

"Oh, okay - yeah." The Norseman sort of stutters in relief. "You're always making friends with little critters, give it to some of them. So... what's in your ration bag? Fruits and nuts, or do you need a lot of grains?" Glanteth felt a little foolish, having paid so little attention to his friend's dietary needs after adventuring so much with him already.

"What do you think, Rikke? I'll bet you a copper the baby won't even be cute." The Norseman says mischievously as he tears off a piece of meat with his teeth and then grimaces. He could feel that he'd just got some of the sticky sauce in his beard.

Rikke Skyhammer
right-aligned image
”Dangit,” Rikke uttered as she looked around at the empty table, only to find the others headed out into the evening air without her. Dropping down from her chair she chased after them, glad they weren’t in any big rush. Tall folk were always running off to do something new, which was mostly exciting, but also exhausting. One minute they’re talking about fancy magic powers, and the next they’re abandoning you at the inn to go see a baby.

Glanteth was buying some food for the journey across town, something Rikke found he did fairly often, and she was quite certain that she could probably win the bet he proposed. Instead of accepting the offer, however, she shook her head and followed along with the group. She didn’t do gambling very good, and anytime she tried she always came out looking foolish. Feeling Baern’s eyes on her as he followed in the shadows behind them, she knew she had made the right decision. "I figure it'll just look like a baby."
