Rubus returns inside. The wagon is okay. Jenouise, let';s go to where you were, ah, sleeping, and go from there. Maybe the key is mixed up in your clothing or the bedding.

Jenouise went from misery to joy in a second when she saw her keys. ”You found them! Oh I am so relieved. Thank you my wonderful dear friend.” She took the keys, ”Bad keys. BAD KEYS. Don’t run off again.”

She waited for her food, and when it came she said, ”I’ll be back soon. I need to read my book.”

Going to read magic book and eat.

 Approaching the group.  I have had my fun but have decided risking my life to be a hero is not for me. I prefer hunting, not committing suicide. Heather goes to sit at the bar.

Rubus stands as one who has some egg on face when he'd be better off with some egg in mouth.

For some reason she can't identify, the words sting--as if she had been personally entreating the young huntress to do such a thing. She dismisses the intrusive thought.

She doesn't think J.'s sailor would be a likely candidate for a lecture on anatomy, human and otherwise, at lease the kind she has in mind. With her practiced eyes, she scans the room to see if anybody fits the bill--someone lightsome and sharp, not just seaworthy.

( can you be a little more forthcoming as to what you are looking for?)

When the opportunity presents itself, Ligeia will ask Heather for instruction in how to best strike with lethality. She knows that as a huntress, it's probably a point of honor for Heather to slay with one strike rather than make a bloody mess of it.

Likewise, she will ask Rabbon if he could help her find things with greater speed--all the better to rid the land of the curse. She will smile beneficently to convince him of her "goodness."

Ligeia roll 2d6+ INT to see if you are able to learn Battle Anatomy from Heather.

You learn that Rabbon is skilled is fighting but not in matters of skulduggery.

It's a lot of information to take in. Are the grey cells willing?

12:32, Today: Ligeia Strand rolled 9 using 2d6+2.  int check for skill .

In reply to Ligeia Strand (msg # 23):

Ok use 1 skill point and you now have  Battle Anatomy skill- Basic.. see me for details



Others let's get the day going, what plans things do you want to do.  Let me know.

GM you said I needed to spend time with my book to upgrade that spell. Doing that now. After I am good with whatever anybody else wants to do.

[Somebody ordered breakfast for Rubus, but (I looked and looked) I don's know whom. In the church, there wasn't anything new except that the curse seems to attract the bad...and al who tried to deal with it are, at best, MIA.]

Eating and waiting for everyone to be read to go. I am waiting for our Furfoot friend to be ready to go.  I think we should go investigate the manor house.

"Absolutely," concurs the priestess. "Just so long as we pick up my repaired leather armor on the way."

She must have spent a few spare hours training with the odd fellow's rapier for she has a bit of the swashbuckler's swagger about her.

18:12, Today: Ligeia Strand rolled 13 using 2d6+2.  basic blades training. --> Advanced.

 Ok  Ligeia mark it on your chart.


If I don't hear back I will assume all in the party will be traveling to . the leather workers with Ligeia. \
Please discuss your marking order or I will roll it randonly.

Gorn will not be going to the leather maker with Ligeia. He will remain at the tavern/inn for now.

Rubus indeed goes to the leather maker.

Jenouise will continue reading her book until everyone is ready. She will suggest the wagon go first or last. There is enough room for someone to ride "shotgun" with her, and everyone can fit in the cart portion if they so choose.

Ligeia travels to the leather maker with Rubus--and Alaric if he's awake and willing.

Unsurprisingly, she doesn't advance her knowledge of turning undead as she hasn't been in the practice of doing so.

19:14, Today: Ligeia Strand rolled 5 using 2d6+2.  Turn Undead training.

 To those still in the tavern the mood in the tavern moves from busy to slow as people begin to start their day and leave.

Ligeia, Alaric and Afamrail accompany Ligeia who gets her armor repaired. There are no encounters or complications.

Jenouise finds her wagon in good order.

It is about 9am now and the party is reassembled in the Tavern.

Ligeia. no your turning undead skill does not increase. However, you might be able to do that if you could find a teacher to spend a week or two learning from in the future. Or a spiritual item that assists you.

Jenouise returned to her new friends. She spoke in a low conspiratorial tone, ”What a wonderful morning. My new friend, the sailor fellow, he told me that the port here is good for smuggling and that the harbor master is paid off.”

Hmmm we need to be careful as we move about this town.  Not much law and order here.  We might even want to be careful about telling anyone where we are going.  Treasure seekers might be keeping an eye on us.

Rubus ponders. I have prayed, and I feel we should journey on north.

09:23, Today: Rubus Elann rolled 1 using 1d2 ((1))

Gorn looks at Rubus with a quizzical look, "Brother, do you not want to head towards Blackwell Manor?" as he looked around at the others. "Blackwell Manor is west of here, is there something else we should check before heading to the manor?"

"Not that I can think of," replies Ligeia. "I'm not about to muck about in the swamps looking for some dragon or other. We follow the road west as it meanders towards the manor."

While her cloak remains bespattered and begrimed, she herself has cleaned up, so now the scent of lavender holds sway over lesser, disagreeable ones. She has even affixed a few colored ribbons in her hair.
