It's just after sunrise. Yesterday, you found out a great deal about the world you appeared in, and were given a mission by the Voice of God, Atma, who rules over this city. * Catalina has joined #nova-ic All of you are probably in the barracks in the Cathedral, where you sleep. * Mellisa_Lendale wakes up, smiling about last night's little talk * Leyla drifts about in the corridors outside their rooms * Sarah_A is awake, paging through her prayerbook still a little sleepy from the night previous, "... Should've slept earlier." * Nick has joined #nova-ic * Avitar_Diggs yawns lazily and sits up in his bed. He takes a moment to ready himself for the day, shaping his soulmeld and deciding to contiune playing the part of the mage. * Aensa sits in the sun, meditating. * Catalina basks in the sun. Was she there yesterday? 6<<3 Quite possibly! 6>> * Sarah_A idly says loudly, "Leyla, are you there?" . o O ( I am here~ ) * Mellisa_Lendale walks up to a desk and quietly writes down the agenda of the day: "Gather info on the Holy Seal", "Help the folk with their lives", "Figure out how exact... . o O ( are you all coming back~? ) * Mellisa_Lendale turns around * Sarah_A finishes packing her equipment and hoists her bow onto her shoulder, making her way out into the main hall for breakfast. After dressing himself, Avitar makes his way into the commons area and has a look around, wondering if anyone else is awake. * Mellisa_Lendale looks at the human girl * Mellisa_Lendale leaves for the common area "Hmm, so what's the plan for today I wonder?" * Catalina glances to Aensa for a moment << Yes Meliisa sleeps with her armor, head out of gutter >> . o O ( this is Sarah, I may have told you about her~ she arived late last night ) 12<< Man we didn't say shit. 12>> * Sarah_A blinks as she looks around, "So these must be th--" and stares at Mellisa intently. Hmm? Oh this... * Mellisa_Lendale puts up a sheet 12<< A sheet of what 12>> 12<< A sheet of lead? :D 12>> << A sheet of paper >> * Aensa opens one eye and looks at Catalina. * Sarah_A thinks for a moment, and considers her surroundings, "Well... I guess if they're fine with it." 12<< Which says what 12>> * Sarah_A glances over the sheet anyways, "Can I help you with something?" << Basically the agenda that reads " "Gather info on the Holy Seal", "Help the folk with their lives", "Figure out how exact..." >> "What is this?" "Nya. Hello!" Oh basically what exactly we're doing today "... Uhm." ... only I didn't quite figure out what we're exactly figuing out, ask Avitar, he'll explain." . o O ( we're not sure about everyone here, but for the moment we're waiting to see what happens ) "Who is "we" and are you identifialy their leader?" * Aensa opens her other eye and tilts her head. "Hello there." * Avitar_Diggs walks in and notices the women looking at some sheet of paper. "Oh, good morning!" Umm, not exactly Morning... * Sarah_A adjusts her glasses, "Then I'll express my concerns later." . o O ( if I remember right, there was a lot of thought of quizing the previously elected daughter, the one who had the seal placed in the first place ) "What... seal? I don't understand, Atma never told me anything about a seal." . o O ( ah, I um... sorta forgot about that part~ ) "Was meditation good?" * Aensa nods. "It was relaxing." 4<<12 Hold on, who's talking to who here? 4>> . o O ( basicly Atma wants us to destroy a holy seal, one that was placed by a Daughter 2 um... 'elections' past ) "I like sunbathing." << everyone to everyone until someone says differently >> 12<< Aensa and Catalina are kind of doing their own thing 12>> 12<< Right now it's me, you, Kite, and Shingro in a hallway. 12>> "Indeed. Who might you be? I do not recall seeing you the other day." 4<<12 Gotcha, thnaks. 4>> * Mellisa_Lendale walks down the hallway "I'm Catalina. And you?" . o O ( but we are uncertain whether it's a good idea to destroy the seal, and would like to know more ) * Sarah_A sighs and mutters quietly, "Clearly there are some organizational issues that need to be worked out..." and reinstates loudly, "Perhaps we should g ather our thoughts over breakfast. I don't think those of us who need to eat have yet." "Aensa Tuaelari, Adept of Mercury." So Avitar... you bolted for the tavern... any luck on any info? . o O ( a good idea, I'll tell the others~ ) * Aensa inclines her head. "It seems we are being called to breakfast." "A wonderful idea, miss...I don't believe I've caught your name yet?" * Leyla broadcasts a cheerful dinnerbell noise~ "Sarah. Sarah Anderson. I ... believe I worked as a demon exterminator before coming here." "You're prescient?" * Catalina heads inside * Sarah_A makes a wayward glance to Mellisa and walks towards the mess hall. "Aha. I am Avitar Diggs. Nice to meet you." Avitar walks with the group. * Mellisa_Lendale sighs * Mellisa_Lendale follows the others inside as she feels very concerned about her... "friends" "And no, i'm afraid I didn't learn much from the locals, Melissa." I see * Aensa stands, then follows. "No, but I can guess." . o O ( I'm the one who is prescient, but only very lightly~ seconds or minutes, no more ) * Sarah_A turns to Leyla, "So, who else are we expecting?" . o O ( will you two please hurry? I can't streach between you all when you're far away :( ) * Aensa quickens her pace, making long strides toward the dinner hall. * Catalina runs swiftly and strangely silently to the dinner hall . o O ( -> Sarah: Two more, one humanoid and one made of another world ) * Mellisa_Lendale starts to take some flight towards teh dinner hall Race ya Most of you quickly reach the mess hall. A bunch of Church soldiers are eating there already, and food is being served from the nearby kitchen. Of notable people there, you see Yuuno and Akasha both getting breakfast. "... made?" * Avitar_Diggs makes his way into line for food. * Mellisa_Lendale lands on the ground, as she looks at the soldiers then looks at Sarah "Yea, he brought up the fact that he was an artifical being" saying this she stands behind Avitar * Aensa seeks out simple fare. . o O ( her... self... is from somewhere I've never seen, conflicting parts that push each other to motion, a yin and yang, light and shadow... I think, it's hard to tell from her spark ) "Peculiar." . o O ( yes, we know all sorts of interesting people now~ ) "... yes." The food is pretty plain in general, being food for soldiers at a church. "I'm not sure what to begin to make of all of this, but for certain we cannot hope to gain too much more information in Greensdale alone." << * Loooooms over the soldiers as a giant rendition of whatever they're eating! >:D * >> "I am not entirely sure about this Seal thing, as it did not come up in my studies nor did Atma adress it. I would have figured that the Gnoll fortress to the northwest would be a more pressing concern." * Catalina goes for fish. Fish is tasty. . o O ( yes, it's an unusual move, Yuuno's dad quit the service for similar reasons, they were busy laying the seal while the gnolls burned villages ) * Aensa watches Catalina with curiosity. 12<< D... do they even have fish in a landlocked area? Well there might be rivers... 12>> . o O ( but there's not denying that is what was asked of us in court yesterday ) 6<<3 They would not have fish here. 6>> "Hmm, well, Greensdale is a start at least." << Okay, then no fish. >> 6<<3 As you cannot get it in Greendale unless it is like... gated in. :P 6>> << Well, they know about whales. Something's fishy. >> << *GATE* I SUMMON TO ME.... A STURGON! >:( >> "So you're saying that while the previous band of people assigned to the seal went for it, the gnolls used the opportunity to raid the nearby villages?" "Yep "Then this is merely a matter of priority of tasks." . o O ( rather, it was a detachment of the holy guard ) 6<< *Gate* "... I summon... WHITE WHALE.... HOLY GRAIL..." 6>> 6<< Also don't they like... need rivers? 6>> "The gnolls are a current and active threat to us and the people of this land now, while this seal has been around and can be taken care of in due time. If they can afford to send group after group for it, then..." 6<< Which would have fish? 6>> 6<< Unless they entirely rely on well-water, I guess. 6>> . o O ( yes, so far the seal seems to have done nothing overt, the only people who know why it was laid is the previous daughters, and maybe Atma, assuming he served the daughter at the time ) * Avitar_Diggs sits with his eyes closed and chin tucked into his hands, turning over the facts in his mind. 6<< But like... rivers are the natural consequence of mountains. 6>> * Mellisa_Lendale smiles but frowns at the same time... 12<< HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT 12>> 12<< DAMN THAT'S TALENT 12>> << :3 >> << like that =P >> 6<<3 With two mouths! 6>> << Well, how else can I shift emotions >> << now Imban is the one thinking dirty D: >> 12<< I'd imagine by doing one, and then the other. 12>> << Face of a sideways S >> 12<< As opposed to both at the SAME TIME WOO 12>> 6<<3 ...What. I assumed she was an Ettin. :P 6>> "So, do you suggest that we investigate the gnolls before we look into the seal more, Sarah?" 12<< Your mom is an ettin. 12>> "I think that given the past history, and the fact that I know at least that we've seen evidence of their action, it'd be a good idea." . o O ( where is the tower? the previous daughter lives in a nearby village, if it's on our way I don't see why we couldn't do both ) "However, there's also the giant clans in the northeast to consider as well." "Yea, Avi and I delt with 3 of them..." 4<<12 Damnit, i read that as giant clams? 4>> << I'm still not 100% sure what's going on >> 12<> << Basically, Avitar and I fought off some Hill Giants >> 12<< Well Alicia, we're all in the mess hall discussing. 12>> 12<< Do youw ant to ... join in?" 12>> "Yes, I've had experience with the Giants." "Need some help?" 12<< Hey Imby, spit out some info on the giants for us. 12>> * Catalina pops up behind Avi with a :3 face "And... you are?" "Catalina!" * Avitar_Diggs is a little suprised by Catalina's sudden apperance. 6<<3 They live in the northeastern mountains and grind catgirl bones to make their bread. 6>> 12<< Awesome, let's go there first. 12>> 12<< Nah. 12>> << also what things are on the way? could we hit the village and another location as well? >> * Mellisa_Lendale whispers to Sarah "Get used to this... you're with us until the end." "Yipes! Please don't sneak up on me like that!" 12<< Seriously, do you want me to roll lore?" 12>> << Not sure on seating arrangements so why not >> * Sarah_A stares at Melissa, "Please do not get close to me, I have quick reflexes you do not want to test." . o O ( lets decide on a destination and get moving soon, we are losing those daylight hours~ ) 6<<3 They might have some cave dwellings or whatnot there, but details on that are sketchy without a Lore check. 6>> roll 1d20+13 Lore then 09[Roll] 12Sarah_A15 rolls12 1d20+1315: 8 + 13 = 122115. 15[12 Lore then 15] 12<< Gaaha 12>> roll 1d20+13 Lore check 09[Roll] 15Mellisa_Lendale14 rolls15 1d20+1314: 18 + 13 = 153114. 14[15 Lore check 14] << No point me rolling at all. >> 6<<3 Obviously they have somewhere they live. Unlike the gnolls, though, they don't live in a honking obvious fortress erected as a fuckyou to the powers of law. :P 6>> << sassy gnolls~ >> "We can't obviously do two things at once, and as Leyla says, if this village you want to investigate is on the way it might as well be checked out." << imbans? what's the verdict? can either the giants or the gnolls be hit in the same day as the village? >> << or at least a reasonably straight line? >> "I'm not sure exactly how many the gnoll forces number, but I do not think that with our numbers we can expect to take an entire fortress." 6<<3 Yesno. You can't really get to the giants or the gnolls in one day on foot, but it's on the way to the gnolls. 6>> 4<<12 What about by horse? 4>> * Mellisa_Lendale puts down her plate and cup "What about the giants?" 11<<10 Is the Gnoll Fortress named 'Wangchin' out of curiosity? 11>> <> "We would probably have to resort to hit and run tactics unless they were a smaller force." "Are you crazy? All of us against that Fortress? Sure if we have a Wizard or a Warlock... but with what we have?" 11<<10 You're required to have a funny hat with two long antenna-like things coming off it. And a giant halberd. 11>> 12<< "And by smaller, we can probably take three hundred each." 12>> * Mellisa_Lendale breaths to calm herself 6<<3 Uh, horse would also take 2-3 days. 6>> "I do not think you quite understood what I said." 6<<3 Teleport or "by fvcking dragon" is your choice for getting there tonight. :P 6>> "Perhaps we should surveil the fortress first to determine the proper course of action." Yea... my head must be thinking of a direct assault . o O ( I don't think anyone is suggesting an all out frontal assault with no regrets ) * Sarah_A looks to Aensa, "And you are?" "You need more magic?" . o O ( however, killing a significant figure, or as Sarah said, 'hit and run' would definately make a lot of people's lives easier ) Hmm? and who's this cute little thing? * Mellisa_Lendale looks at the cat "I'm Catalina! I'm going to help you out." :3 "Ah... erm." * Mellisa_Lendale turns around Well, I have plenty of arrows to stage a distraction with, that's for sure << "I'm Catalina! CATalina, get it, huh? Huh?" >> << :P >> Only if we have someone to ignite these guys * Sarah_A looks around, particularly at Catalina, "I think now would be a good time to discuss each of our induvidual strengths..." . o O ( I imagine many of us are skilled at long range combat then? ) Hmm "Perhaps our time would be better spent investigating the matter of the seal for now, and wait for the others before we make any sort of attack plans." Yea... "I'm good at blasting things, and clawing them into little pieces." "I am Aensa Tuaelari." "I uh.. I see." * Catalina says it surprisingly cheerfully and innocently. In my end, I prefer shooting from afar with my bow, but when that fails, I could always sneak attack these guys . o O ( we could easily stake an ambush or assault from a distance and force them to close the gap, then flee once the main force mobilizes ) "I am not of the material plane...therefore, I can move easily through the shadows." << as a note though Avi, there will be no masscombat with both teams =P >> "But what would we gain from ntagonizing them? Would that not just move them into retaliation on innocent villagers?" 4<<12 Yeah, but we're not the the team for any kind of mass combat right now <<; 4>> . o O ( not so much antagonizing as distracting and weakening, we are clearly not a force from the church or neighboring village ) << what? why? =P >> "We would have to make an extremely precise strike that would demoralize them entirely." "A sneak attack?" * Mellisa_Lendale smiles at the prospect of such an attack . o O ( an assassination perhaps ) "And as Leyla said, if we were staged more of as a distraction, it would occupy their forces more to go after it than the villages." 4<<12 Cause all of our heavy hitters are in the saturday group. 4>> . o O ( I say we target a general or at least mid-level officer ) << Heh. >> "Well, before we jump to that far, we could torch something then run." << hey, don't sell us short =P >> 6<<3 Leyla has defeated an officer! 6>> "If it turns into a Search and Destroy operation, why not no?" << "Good work, Leyla! We must do our best as well!" >> "I have suitable tools for smoking them out, but that might be more of a direct assault that would provoke them to try to capture other villages." << XD *jumps on a horse and rides off* >> Hmm, anyone know how to pull it off, err, igniting my bolts for the purpose of causing trouble? . o O ( we must strike a funny balance, to avoid retaliation against the villages, we must be clearly seen ) . o O ( that way they'll know we're not a normal peacekeeping force ) <> "I think that goign after their patrol groups under the cover of their surroundings would cause their main forces to press harder in the area while ignoring the main villages, which... probably means we'd need some assistances in that sense." "Yep "If we could get cooperation from the knighthood to mount the direct assault straight for the fortress walls while we put their army into disarray sounds plausible if the knights are willing to do it." . o O ( did atma mention any sort of time limit on our work with the seal? ) "Not that I recall, no." "I imagine the gnolls are enough of a threat that they would not mind seeing them severely weakened if not eliminated." 6<< Danmaku Girl isn't actually a slouch. 6>> . o O ( likely true, so long as atma doesn't want us to 'get on with it' ) 12<< Hey shaddup. 12>> 6<< what. D: 6>> 6<< Sorry. D: 6>> "It would not be a bad idea to consult him, yeah." 12<< :| 12>> << =P >> You do that I'll wait outside, for some reason, I feel nervious around him . o O ( I'm still uncertain about him, but if you feel that is best.... ) * Avitar_Diggs nods his head. "Well then, if this is the course of action we've decided on, let's not hesitate any longer." * Sarah_A looks at the would-be party in the making, "... Well, what do you all think?" * Mellisa_Lendale stands up "There's something we're willing to try, time to shoot some skulls" "I'll go after the biggest!" . o O ( I agree with this plan, no good having them bold enough to ambush people as far as the caves we woke in ) * Aensa stands. "I will do my part." "I think it would be wise to consult with the Knighthood as well, it is their lives on the line as much as it is ours." . o O ( true, though we should also tell the other Awakened, perhaps they can be part of the secondary force? ) . o O ( well... I guess 'primary' force.... either way ) "There are others as well?" . o O ( many, about 10 or so ) << What is the deal with the thought bubbles, anyway? >> << she speaks through telepathy >> "I see." "Do they need to see us before we attack?" . o O ( no, after will do~ ) "Sounds good." . o O ( just so long as someone knows we're not a punative knight force, though I suppose if we plan on wiping out the tower entirely it won't matter so much if we guard the roads after the assault ) . o O ( I don't think a force they'd put together to go against a village would stand much of a chance against us~ <3 ) "Who is the leader of the knight forces here, anyways?" . o O ( dunno! ) "The lord Atma." 4<<12 That's a good question. Is it Atma? 4>> Akasha stands up and walks over by the group, having finished her meal. * Leyla includes her in the mental bubble . o O ( welcome, we were just discussing our next move ) She's rather imposing in her full plate mail, and her blonde hair is a rather stark contrast against her nearly jet-black skin. 12<< "Hello there knightly person, you wouldn't know of the leader of the knighes would be would you?" 12>> 4<<12 Is she hot? 4>> 4<<12 Just curious. 4>> << keeping priorities in order: Avitar Diggs >> 6<< It's a ganguro knight! 6>> Umm, hello, we were about to leave... << *hits Tavish* >> 6<< what, it's the truth. D: 6>> 7<<4 Be thankful you're the only male human in the group. 7>> 6<<3 I suppose she might be. Though she's more African black than Japanese. 6>> 12<< I'd hit that. 12>> << Calm down, do not ask any crazy wisecracks... >> "I see. Did I interrupt something, then...?" . o O ( so you say Atma leads the knights? ) . o O ( not particularly, you could be a very useful source of information~ ) "No, actually we had some things to ask of the knighthood." "Yes, the Sword and Voice of God is always the leader of the knighthood." "We have been discussing the current situation in the area, and it we think it might be best if we take care of the gnoll raids before we investigated the holy seal further." "Yep!" * Sarah_A lets the one who wants to get into Aksha's plate male discuss it. * Mellisa_Lendale makes a cute smile 12<< Plate Mail D: 12>> 12<< Plate... man I don't even want to think about that 12>> 6<<3 D: 6>> Akasha smiles. "That's a great idea! ...if only Atma agreed." << Some guy on a plate? >> << D: >> * TavishInTorpor is now known as Tavish "Why shouldn't we?" . o O ( surely a day or two might be spared.... ) "So the knights would see the people taken care of, and Atma would rather see this seal business done." "Since the newest Daughter has taken power, the orders have been to just protect our country, not take the war to the gnolls any further." "Hm, that's a unique standpoint." "Is there some sort of agreement going on between their forces and the church's?" "We wouldn't make any sort of peace with those demons." . o O ( hmmmmm ) "Is their any purpose to their attacks?" . o O ( well, again this very much bears investigating, but it does seem we'll have to do this without the knighthood's help ) "To steal, kill, and destroy." "If you can convince Atma, many of us would love to finally wipe the gnolls off the map... but I can't say I haven't tried." . o O ( strightforward >:( ) "I feel as if there is something we do not know, and if there is one thing that bugs me, it's that." "Mmm. If we are as important as Atma makes us out to be, perhaps we could use our status as a kind of leverage." . o O ( I'm uncertain about bringing this to his attention at all, as it is now, we're free to do our work, but if he explicitly forbades us going... ) *these I'm keeping from the plategirl* . o O ( in fact, if he forbades us we'll have no excuse to visit the village of the previous daughter and confirm his story ) "At the very least, if we did carry out our plan, as haphazard as it may be, would the knighthood be able to protect the outlying villages?" "Hmm... gnoll raids, knights being set as defence..." . o O ( and we definately need more knowledge of what the seal does before we destroy it ) * Avitar_Diggs messages to Leyla "But Leyla, who is he to forbid us? Are we not free individuals?" <> "Well, at some point, someone has to check out the seal and see if there's something that's sealed up. Atma's not giving us much info and if we split up, we'll be spread way too thin." << you can talk to me mentaly through the telepathy >> 4<<12 I just kind assumed I could. 4>> . o O ( are we? I'm not sure he sees us as such ) . o O ( he certainly wasted no time giving us specific orders on our arrival and negotiating no wages or rewards ) . o O ( I think we should go anyway. ) 12<< Hey Akasha, eyes front. :| 12>> 12<< Stop looking at my tits. 12>> . o O ( I agree, a quick run out, talk to the previous Daughter, do what damage we can to the gnolls and hope our other allies can clean up the rest ) * Avitar_Diggs messages to Leyla "As I rememebr it, Lord Atma was quite willing to allow us to decline his offer if we so felt." 6<<3 what :p 6>> 12<< "At the very least, if we did carry out our plan, as haphazard as it may be, would the knighthood be able to protect the outlying villages?" 12>> "Of course. We already have a good deal of our men stationed there." . o O ( I'm not so sure it would have stood if we all declined though, a few declining while the rest remains pliant wouldn't be a problem ) 4<<12 Jaiku's charcter was pretty apathetic to the cause, and Atma didn't care too much. 4>> . o O ( either way, none of us declined so we cannot know, and we'd risk a great deal bringing this to his attention at this time ) "I cannot say I like the idea of going under someone's nose like this, but if it's for the better of the people..." "At the very least we can get more information regarding the seal on the way there. "Yea" *smiles* "Becides, we should get started . o O ( quite, daylight's burning~ ) * Sarah_A still has a weary eye on Melissa. "Lets go then?" . o O ( yus :D ) "The day never gets younger." * Avitar_Diggs stands from the table "Let's be off." * Catalina starts out! * Mellisa_Lendale walks out of the mess hall . o O ( ah, Akesha... ) 7<<4 What's the min-maxed group doing while all this is happening? 7>> * Aensa follows just behind. * Sarah_A bows to Akasha, "Hold strong, Knight." 6<<3 That's an answer for tomorrow's session. :P 6>> 12<> Akasha nods. . o O ( I was wondering... does the Daughter bestow any powers upon the Sword of God? Atma makes me very nervous considering my method of... communication... something about him is... off ) "Oh, also relay the information to the other group, if you happen to see them." << like the fact he doesn't seem to be there at all :( >> . o O ( I've never seen him? ) << Well, I thought Atma's a Construct type >> << that's not importent as long as he has an Int score >> 4<<12 Noone knows WTF Atma is. 4>> I had plans to write a note to remind the others on what we're up to but Can't seem to concentrate on writing it down 4<<12 ALthough he is most likely a weapon. 4>> << I'm banking on divine construct myself >> << Hopefully not Ruby or Emerald >> << or projection >> 7<<4 If I'm not mistaken, Mind Blank may ward against Mindsight. 7>> << yeah, Mindless also precludes it too~ >> "Perhaps we should invest in horses for those of us ungifted in flight?" "We could Hmm Where's the cloest stable... "I can keep speed on foot, but a horse would be nice." * Avitar_Diggs looks for a stable renting steeds. "I would prefer to walk, though I can keep up with a walking steed." "I'll fly." "Same, want ot race once Avitar finds a horse? 7<<4 Regris, don't you have Fly as a domain spell? 7>> 4<<12 Or maybe I won't, as our GM has disappeared! 4>> 6<<3 Has not. 6>> 4<<12 WELL I'M DOING THINGS, IMBAN. 4>> 12<< Not as a domain spell, no domains lol 12>> You quickly find that you can borrow travelling horses from the Church stable for free. Not the spiky winged horse though. * Mellisa_Lendale starts to hover in the air 6<< Fly isn't a very good overland travel spell. 6>> 6<< Only like, 6 minutes, tops. 6>> "... strange horse." "I wonder who this one belongs to..." "but I guess I've seen stranger today." * Catalina flies in the air as if it's nothing "Let's get going, then." Avitar mounts up and starts to ride off towards the gnoll fortress. . o O ( it's smart... a very very smart horse ) * Aensa begins to stride alongside Avitar. * Mellisa_Lendale flies off, following Avitar "Hey, race ya..." . o O ( smarter then most of the citizans actually, I wonder... ) . o O ( eep! they left me behind! D: ) 6<<3 So, the group is headed towards the northwest and the gnoll fortress, and stopping to visit the Daughter on the way? 6>> * Leyla dashes through a stable door << ayup >> "Wings against a horse? I doubt i'd win that race." * Sarah_A rides alongside Avitar, "So what is your trade? You dont' seem to give much of an impression one way or another." 6<<3 You'll arrive at the village around nightfall. 6>> "Hmm? Oh, I dabble in a bit of everything." "Hum, that's pretty nice." "You never know what skills you'll find yourself needing someday. I try to keep prepared for all situations." "How about yourself? Are you a sister of the church?" "That's certainly the words of a man who values his freedom." "Ah, I ... well, something of the sort, I believe." * Aensa glances over at Sarah. "What sort of church? "Ah, a... hm. I can't really say, but we had a clergy and clerics, as well as missionaries who woudl go to other countries for work. We also did a lot of demon extermination. My b... brother, I think, was famous for it. I think he had to go... far away on a big case." "I worked a little under stermination, but primarily did clerical work." 12<< Extermination. 12>> "Sounds interesting, nyah." * Mellisa_Lendale slows down her flight speed and lands herself... "What happened to him." 4<<12 Err, don't land while we're moving. 4>> "No idea." "I see "it's all still rather vauge and... may I honestly ask at risk of being rude why a demon is traveling with us and sanctioned with the church?" * Mellisa_Lendale starts to regain some of her flight I've woke up here, Avitar found me, knocked some Hill Giants, met Atma, so I have no idea myself." "I cannot say I don't expect strangeness anymore, but it just feels so odd." "Seems normal to me!" "Melissa was summoned here just like the rest of us. If there's one thing i've learned in my time here, it's not to judge others simply by their apperance." "I... don't think it's merely apperance at question here." (BRB) * Mellisa_Lendale flies ahead of the group... as she thinks about some of the people she met "What then~?" ah, don't worry~ we are together and strong from all threats... I think? << /t FAILURE >> "Do you mean her aura? Her fiendish bloodline cannont be denied, but it speaks nothing of her soul." * Mellisa_Lendale slows down a bit "It's not the first time my aura sprouted on someone's detect field" "... perhaps, I am still wary, but I believe actions speak louder than words." "I have yet to find any reason not to trust Melissa as I trust any of our other companions."
