« on: January 18, 2017, 09:53:52 pm »

I've finished two more: a more mature Jennara and an Iri Ambercress!.

It is on!

 

Braid

 

 

Mundri taught me this!Multipass!

 

Not super satisfied with the cuts in the shield. The metal rim dents looks fine (they look like dents, but they're just paint), but the wood is a little off somehow. Shouldn't have been quite so parallel, either.

 

Gulnyr the Grim is coming along.

Rumour Has It / Iri smiles up at Tyrra.Hey!
« on: December 11, 2016, 10:41:46 am »

Iri smiles up at Tyrra.

Hey! Both!

Remember the magic door at Dydul Castle that the majesty showed us? The one we went through to get to the mine! It closed! There's no knocker, so I can get out, but not through the magic door! Just through the regular mine door! It'll probably be a long walk back to the castle! Maybe I can hitch a ride on a wagon! Maybe I'll be back in a month or two! Where is this mine, anyway? Do you have enough food? She waggles her eyebrows. I've got half a hard biscuit to spare!

Iri stands at Tyrra's elbow, slightly behind, with her hands clasped behind her back. She nods occasionally as she surveys the situation.

Dragon Retribution / I told her so. I expect news

I told her so. I expect news soon.

Thank you for helping.

« on: December 04, 2016, 07:12:53 pm »

Jennara nods a little to the report.

The plague is a cover for many evils. The unscrupulous find fewer hindrances. What may have been a rough mugging becomes a murder. Even those who only imagined such acts in the heat of anger may now idly consider the elimination of a neighbor with a coveted possession. The community is weakened. The world is dimmer. Darkness is winning.

She shrugs slightly. It is often easier for those who serve chaos and destruction, for it is easier to destroy than to create. A young child can topple a tower of blocks before she is able to build such a tower herself. She looks around. This all seems so very petty. So many have died, and for what? To demonstrate power? Her eyes lock with Vrebel's. I could have killed all these people. Not as quickly, perhaps, depending on the method I chose, but they would be no less dead. Does that make me powerful? The ability to kill? Her head shakes side to side slowly. Even mice kill. Being larger just makes it easier, physically speaking. If it were an army of veteran soldiers, slain in their ranks on the battlefield, one may consider it a powerful display. There is no honor or respect to be gained by being able to kill farmers and shop keepers and children easily. The weak are a coward's targets. I would expect better of such ancient beings.

Jennara pauses and looks around again. These people already feared the dragon. What was gained? What was lost?

She looks back. Those who create, those who preserve, those with discipline, those with restraint and patience, those who give rather than take -- they have more work than before. It is always the harder path, but victory is possible.

Jennara's brow furrows slightly.

There is nothing interesting to be seen within. I suspect you may have heard Acacea singing, at the least. Is there a message you would like me to deliver?

Dragon Retribution / Vrebel may be surprised at
« on: December 04, 2016, 01:14:01 am »

Vrebel may be surprised at the lack of sound coming from the tent, as if no one were inside at all. Suddenly, Acacea can clearly be heard to mention that she would "almost definitely be back tomorrow" and would be taking a nap.

*yawns* Sorry I did not return with a magical spell of reversal...

...

It is?

... and reverse and reverse... 

... *sniffles*

*quietly singing a common tune with uncommon words* Dnihi ed dni bcesi znihi ecc hyetm liid
Wehiziccm dy mea ert zurtm dy khiid
Cyrk zi behd, ert weh zi dhefic
'duc dni dnhietm yw Wedi orhefic

...

... What is done is done. There are things to be done now so that things are better later.

There is a visitor to attend. Enjoy your nap. Be safe, and I will see you tomorrow.

The tent flap flies open and Jennara nods once to Vrebel.

Hello. How can I help you?

Dragon Retribution / Jennara approaches quietly
« on: December 03, 2016, 09:36:13 pm »

Jennara approaches quietly from the left, nods to the guard, and motions for Acacea to follow. She leads the way to her tent.

« on: November 30, 2016, 05:33:42 pm »

Jennara nods once and glances off toward the south for a moment. She looks back at Vrebel again.

Please return to whatever task you had been assigned. Every effort counts.

Rumour Has It / Iri seems glad to be moving

Iri seems glad to be moving and trots off down the passage without another word, seeming to melt away into the darkness sooner than expected.

Rumour Has It / What a weird question!Iri
« on: November 29, 2016, 11:31:56 pm »

What a weird question!

Iri taps her lips with a finger and squints at nothing in the distance, and her face shows a range of emotions as she pauses and dwells on specific words.

How do I feel?

How do I feel about hurrying...

... to Bydell Castle...

... to let them know What. Happened...

... and request help...

She puts her fists on her hips and nods a little.

I feel pretty normal about this. It seems like part of the natural way of things, so I guess maybe "content" is a good summary. I am content! How do you feel about it?

Without waiting for an answer, she looks at a nearby soldier and continues talking, as if he were part of the conversation all along.

What if she says something weird like "disillusioned" or "precocious?" OH! Or "smarmy!" Can you feel smarmy, or is that just something you are? What would that mean, anyway? She throws up her hands. If she just had regular emotions we wouldn't be in this situation!

Her fists go back to her hips and she looks at Tyrra as if waiting for her to explain herself.

Dragon Retribution / Jennara narrows her eyes
« on: November 26, 2016, 02:06:32 am »

Jennara narrows her eyes slightly and holds up a finger. She waves over a guard and asks her to assign an escort for the robed Rofireinite with whom she had previously been talking. Then she returns her attention to Vrebel.

There are rumors that you may bear some responsibility for this trouble. There are people in positions of authority that believe that information and have placed warrants for your arrest. You cannot escape whatever Justice is due for your actions, whether good or bad, but the trials awaiting you at the hands of these governments can wait for now; you will be more help here than in a dungeon or the stocks.

I expect news soon, and after that I may have more direct ways for you to help. For now, you have an interesting advantage: you are not a follower of the Lord Protector. Certain people may speak more freely around you, whether by talking directly to you or gossiping nearby, than around those of us who are recognizably devout. You may hear things that we may not. You may find access to certain quarters easier. This is not an invitation to behave contrary to the law, only an observation of the nature of the world.

There are also various tasks here and around this section of the city that would help the healers and the citizens. You appear to have already been doing some of these tasks. These are not glamourous tasks. They simply help ease the burdens. Even a small assistance is a boon.

I can always find work for able hands. See me regularly and I will tell you what is needed.

Dragon Retribution / A halfling in a bright yellow
« on: November 22, 2016, 02:32:32 pm »

A halfling in a bright yellow robe hands a list to a human with a Rofireinite amulet around his neck. She speaks quietly to him, then looks around and holds up one finger. Her eyes lock onto Vrebel and she approaches him.

What is your current assignment?

Dragon Retribution / If they had not been polite,
« on: October 22, 2016, 09:50:42 am »

If they had not been polite, I would assume they thought I was Toranite. I think almost all of them knew what I was asking about. Even the most helpful -- she shakes her head slightly at this word -- person I spoke with would not answer any questions or verify that records even exist. They covered all three of your options, if not so directly on the last. I was told I needed to be officially associated with the Church of Lucinda or have personal, direct authorization from an authority in Spellgard.

Dragon Retribution / ... and you could look here
« on: October 09, 2016, 10:42:40 pm »

... and you could look here on the way back, just in case I take too long at the others.

Jennara's list contains almost all the sites. After sharing the Fabled Sack Lunch, she requests one of the Rofireinite guards wake her in ten minutes, then returns to her tent and allows herself to sleep.

That may be true. Shall we share? We can discuss who will visit where in the tent.

Jennara nods a little.

Be safe... I have a place for you to sleep, if you need.

« on: October 09, 2016, 08:14:18 pm »

Some areas are barred, and some more closely monitored than others, but the districts are not entirely quarantined, no. Are you requesting I send Knights for ingredients? And what makes you think that area will have rare ingredients?

She raises her eyebrows.

Dragon Retribution / She nods.Find what you can,
« on: October 09, 2016, 07:53:28 pm »

She nods.

Find what you can, please. We will mix the ingredients and try them on the afflicted ourselves before determining how to share any successful remedy's ingredients with others.

Dragon Retribution / Jennara nods slowly.Good.She
« on: October 09, 2016, 07:32:17 pm »

Jennara nods slowly.

Good.

She starts eating the second dough ball before sharing the current situation.

There is little good news here. Some healers have found a way to help some of those who are newly affected. It is a start.

Otherwise, we are mostly comforting the dying... rather ineffectively. It is not an easy disease to comfort. We have to carefully use our supplies. Some days, I want to help the alchemists and healers and wizards, but they know more than I do. I would probably be in the way. I keep supplies organized and properly distributed instead, and talk with the local leaders to share news. Fear is understandable, but if the people's fear becomes violence, everyone will suffer more. Keeping everyone informed helps.

She stares at the half-eaten dough ball.

Maybe sleeping potions...

If this is the worst news, it is not very bad.
