Cleric Errant (i.e.: new player)

Post by Irae'xyra Hun'und »

Black-violet feet move quietly into the inn. For any who may be looking toward the entrance, a shapely figure seemingly glides through the doorway and to the bar, her silver-white gossamer robes making her appear ghostly. Only her white leather armor gives any modesty, and though her hood is up, her unforgetable, unbelievably long bright red hair shows through. A dyed silver streak runs through her hair and even with most of it pulled up in a bun, some still hangs behind her, falling just below her shoulders. A circlet sits atop her head with a cresent moon shaped moonstone in the center. Her almond shaped eyes hold bright green eyes that seem to glow and her full lips are the color of the reddest rose you may have ever seen. And a long sword (katana) is strapped to her back.
When the barkeep aproches her, she orders a mead and a meat pie, then finds an empty table to wait for her order.

A serving maid, brings you the mead and a meat pie and sets on the table you selected. She looks to your red hair for a moment. "Will there be anything else you might want?"

Irae unties her pouch and opens it, praying the too few copper left in it would be enough for the mead and pie.
Speaking in broken Common: "Aye, miss. How much do I owe you, and have ye heard any rumers lately?" She lightly bounces the pouch in her hand. "I need work. And soon."

"Four copper is the price, lady." Considers, rumors that might interest you.
"Well the house of joy is always looking for new talent, exotic I hear get paid very well. There again are reports of goblins to the West and orcs to the North. Sometimes there is a bounty for each head brought back."

Irae nods and hands the bar maid 4 copper and noting she only had 3 left.
"House of Joy? Humm...sounds interesting, but perhaps after I have some more copper back in my pouch." She paused for a moment. "Goblins to the West you say? Well, lets start there, sall we?" She said the last part more to herself.
" Eilistraee's blessing upon you, child." With that she ate and and headed west.

Well the maid was thinking more as the lady being a worker then a patron of the house of joy, cleans the dishes from the table and notes no tip was left for her. "Hope the goblins get her." Then returns to her duties.

To the West of the same hamlet are woods and some hills, perfect place to find goblins, orcs or other creatures that might from time to time raid the farms and traders that travel the road that passes though the hamlet.

Irae facepalms as she realizes she forgot to leave a tip for the bar maid. I'll owe her, she thought.
Heading west, she speaks with the farmers near the woods, asking if any have seen Goblins about or if they know of any of the little buggers hiding spots. She makes metal notes of the places any may point out and heads into the woods, sword at the ready. She serches deep into the woods untill she comes across a promising looking cave and enters within, relaying on her nightvision to see.

((here's were I may make some mistakes, it's been forever since I've had a D&D book in my hands of any kind and do not recall the cleric's powers, so please forgive me if I make refrences to WoW priest powers :P))

One of the farmers told you about a cow missing.

As you enter the cave and your vision adjusts it clearly appears to be a natural cave going into the hill and st\lightly downward. As you walk along the twisting cave ahead you see some light flickering, likely a fire.

Noticing the fire, Irae crouched low and, drawing her sword, moved slowly toward the source. As she moved, she kicked a rock, sending it flying across the passage and into the rocky wall. For a moment, her heart pounded so, she swore she could hear it echo. But her mind remaind calm. She stopped and made ready for any who may have herd rock against rock and chose to investigate. Rising only slightly, but keeping her knees loose, she drew her sword back and prepared for attack.

There is a clatter, perhaps the sound of weapons being gathered. Some shadows now cross in fount of the fire. Silence falls as it appears your slow approach is being waited for. As you get closer you see about seven goblin sized creatures, each with a javelin in their hands. As you stop to wait, it appears they are ready to wait as well.

Irae takes a deep breathe and casts Entropic shield before attacking the Goblins. In what seems like a graceful dance, she hits the first two and cuts them down.
She swings at the third, but only nicks him as he brings his spear up and hits her ribs. Irae is taken slightly aback but recovers her balance and takes another swing, hitting the Goblin square this time. As he falls, two more come at her as the other two circle around her. She blocked the attack of the fourth Goblin and meraculously grabbed the spear of the fifth's, yanking it from his hands. Weaponless, the fifth now backed away from Irae, looking for the exit.

She now turned back toward the fourth and swung again. He blocked her sword, but she impaled him with the spear, only to be impaled herslef by the sixth.
Irae cried out in pain, but swung around to face the last two Goblins. Her pain was becoming obvious, and the Goblins seemed to smile at this, coming in for the kill. but Irae surprised them by standing straight and taking another swing at them. She missed completly. The seventh Goblin thrust his spear forward and nicked Irae's arm that was still holding the spear she had taken from the fifth Goblin. She dropped the spear and kicked the offending Goblin away from her and cast magic stones, sending them flying at the now sprawling Goblin. Two of the three stones hit him hard; one in the stomach and the second in the temple, knocking him unconscience.

Now only the sixth Goblin remained. Looking nervous, the Goblin looked for a way out and ran. Irae picked up the spear she had previously dropped and chucked it toward the escaping Goblin, hitting him square in the back. As she looked around the cavern for stolen treasures and a sack for their heads, she noted that one Goblin did escape and moved quickly in case he returned with more friends then she could handle.

((forgive me if I overstepped bounds with taking over the Goblins actions. I'll gladly do a do-over if needed))

((Well it was reaching a little, also you missed two more, but I will do your light work. NPCs, do have fewer rights, though are people also *G* ))

Even as the one flees you, the two goblins that you passed rush to attack your back.

There is a sound of fear ahead of you, cut short and a taller figure steps forward. "Mir k'jakr abbil (Hold still friend)" As two hand crossbows are raised and fired toward you, both missing, though you hear bodies hitting the ground behind you.

" Usstan tlun Amil, plynn vel'bol dos ssinssrin (I am Amil, take what you want)"

Irae turned to see the now fallen Goblins she had missed then turns back to face Amil, bowing her head slightly. "Mizil nika g'rftte." (many thanks, stranger). "Usstan tlun Irae'xyra. Yathrin d' Eilistraee." (I am Irae'xyra. Priestess of Eilistraee.)

Irae removes the heads of the fallen Goblins if she cannot find anything else suitable to use as proof of their demise, placing them in a sack. She also takes what treasure she can carry, including potions and food.

OOC: ((Sometime will not use Drow, more involved talk does not translate well, infer that unless otherwise indicated that Amil is speaking Drow.))

The cutting off the heads takes a little time, the Drow appears unconcerned about what you are doing, stands instead as a guard more so of the lower tunnel that leads deeper into the earth, though does not forget the path you entered. In your search you find about ,900 silver coins and a potion, this of course in addition to a half eaten cow, the weapons of the goblins. 9 javelins, 5 maces, 3 clubs, 1 short sword and 5 belt knives.

"There are more of them below Priestess, that is certain. There also is a band of about 5 on the surface. I was hoping to get all of the band, however your arrival changed my plans. As strangers are your friends, unless shown to be a foe. These filth were foes." The hand crossbows reloaded, hand from his belt, he holding a short bow for any that might come into sight readied.

"When you are ready, with your permission I will provide you escort to your safe place."

((OOC: noted))

Irae puts the silver in her pouch and throws the sack of heads and the weapons over her shoulder. "There are more, you say? Perhaps we could work together and share the spoils...and reward for the ones that remain?"
