Re: Scenario (D&D)
Greg nodded. She was getting more and more used to being called Aliana by Ca....by Tizona. Strangely, being called "Greg", while comforting to an extent, almost seemed a bit jarring now.
It's nothing to worry about, Greg thought. In fact, it's probably more appropriate anyway since I look nothing like I....like Greg used to. Yes, she decided inwardly, it just makes more sense.
She was still having trouble with the concept of killing people, and couldn't shake the idea that perhaps these weren't fake people that were created just for their benefit. Still, Greg had a long history of buckling to peer pressure, going along with friends when they suggested doing stupid things.
She could picture Mom, looking maternal and wise.
"Oh really? Well, then, if your friends all decided to go out and kill a bunch of evil cultists, would you?"
Greg's answer would probably be:
"ummmmmm, yes?"
Hiding her grin at Mom's probably response (and trying not to speculate on her reaction to her new "daughter"), Greg looked at the group.
I designed the character to be reasonably competent in both melee and missle combat, so that should certainly have "translated". I can join Tizona in the "opening salvo" and then wade in with my sword if need be. I didn't take "Precise Shot" with my bow, so I shouldn't be firing into a melee situation anyway.
She also tried not to laugh, given the seriousness of the situation, at Tizona's prohibition against "camping among the cultists to get spells back". She still grinned a bit at the possible conversation.
"Um.....Time out! Yeah, um, evil cultist guys? It's like this, see. We're out of spells, and uh...."
Greg pictured Aliana doing an impression of "Lunberg", Gary Cole's manager character from "Office Space".
"Yeeeeaaaahhhh........if you could all, you know, come back in about, say, eight hours or so, we kinda need to get some spells back? And if you could bring some breakfast with you too.....Yeah, that'd be greeeeeaaaat......."
To distract herself from an inappropriate chuckle, she looks at Sarah.
I'm curious about the lightness too. Everyone, let's be alert, in case this is a trap, or something.
