OK, we found a tree with a cave inhabited by mites and decided it was our business. Thinking the mites would be pushovers we went in and fought our way to a room with a nearly dead Kobold who offered us great treasure for a statue the mites stole from their tribe. Well, we found a chasm and our armored pally fell into it, then a freaking scary huge centipede appeared out of nowhere and attacked.
Well the combat did not go well, if we had spotted the centipede we could have opened up on it with arrows and killed it but instead it killed our paladin, who is an Asamir and a paladin of Erastil.
Here is where the story starts to stretch, when our Inquisitor died because two players where missing we had the chance to dip the Inquisitor in the pool of the ruined temple to bring him back, because it was ultimately not fair that he died when he likely would have survived if the other players who had legitimate reasons had made the game. So here we are with a freshly dead Palladin of Erastil, of course we have to toss her corpse into the pool, it worked once, it might again. But honestly having a resurrection point strains credibility at best and ruins the challenge at worst.
Ultimately we acknowledged that we have a huge karmic debt to Erastil and our pally was put back together, they then converted the parties one non religious character (two miracles will do that).
My solution to the Karmic Debt is to hire a construction crew and a team of soldiers to guard the construction crew to work on refurbishing the temple (and secure it) out of the parties collective pocket. By my math it comes to about 56 gp a week to have 10 craftsmen, 10 apprentices, 10 laborers and 10 soldiers on site working, and it works with the story we are weaving.
(38328) Andraste: So
we continue south I take it?
(38375) Segrid: How far
south are we allowed to go according to our current
charter?
(38375) Segrid: I'm thinking
maybe we want to loop around like so:
(38328) Andraste: I
think a few more aquares, like 3 or 4?
(38376) Cairne Garess: works
for me androste.
(38376) Cairne Garess: andraste,
keep getting you confused with the other andtroste.
(38375) Segrid: keep us in
the plains for now
(38328) Andraste: Who
is Andtroste xD
(38375) Segrid: or maybe we
should do this:
(38376) Cairne Garess: saint
of the maker, her ashes cure disease.
(38328) Andraste: Yep
from Dragon Age
(38328) Andraste: This
Andraste is named after a Celtic Goddess of War.
(38376) Cairne Garess: I am
good with either, trouble is willing to walk wherever so long as its not too fast or too heavy
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: brb
(38371) DM: It's now early
morning, 16 Pharast. You are in hex 4-6.
** (38328) Andraste
stretches herself, before combing her hair and washing up, followed by prayer
to Erastil. **
(38376) Cairne Garess: Carine
Prays, reads, cleans self with Prestidigitation and casts create water on zel.
** (38375) Segrid
, feeling good about the day, waters the horses and starts prepping them
for the journey. **
** (38328) Andraste
gives a crossed look at Cairne. **
(38371) DM: Are you going to hex
4-7?
(38375) Segrid: Yes. (?)
(38375) Segrid: I think
that's the plan
(38371) DM: Hex 4-7 is a
plains hex.
(38328) Andraste: Well
hopefully its an interesting plain hex
(38371) DM: It is early
afternoon when you finish exploring the flat terrain.
(38328) Andraste: "Hmm..after we establish something here, I think a few patrols
around the borders would be prudent," she notes, "And perhaps finding
someone to hunt down the remaining troll."
(38371) DM: You find that a
small portion of the Shrike river loops through the southernmost tip of this
hex.
(38376) Cairne Garess: well,
I guess we start on the next hex.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: (( BAck ))
(38375) Segrid: 5-7
(38328) Andraste: ((Lets
head south, and rest near the river. Havent had a good river bath in awhile )
(38375) Segrid: Follow the
Shrike south/southwest
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: (( Sounds good to me ))
(38393) Zelata (enter): 19:10
(38375) Segrid: Hi Z
(38371) DM: The night passes
uneventfully as you quickly fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the river.
(38328) Andraste: (Hey
Z, just missing Card now)
(38393) Zelata: Sorry I'm
late have we started yet?
(38393) Zelata: Yo
Attempting to assign the role of
Player to (38393) Zelata...
(38393) Zelata: ((Yo))
(38328) Andraste: (We
defeated another troll while you were late)
(38393) Zelata: I wake up
early to go dipping into the river in my loin cloth bra and underwear.
(38376) Cairne Garess: And
you got rained on.
(38393) Zelata: ((Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu))
(38395) Arelius (enter): 19:11
(38375) Segrid: (yes, we
just explored 4-7 a simple plains hex and found
nothing of interest)
(38376) Cairne Garess: it
was a curous 2 gallons of rain that suddenly appeard over your head.
(38375) Segrid: Hi Carden
(38395) Carden: (hey; someone send me what has happened)
Attempting to assign the role of
Player to (38395) Carden...
(38328) Andraste: ((hey
Card : ) now everyone's here)
(38393) Zelata: I wake up
Adraste to go swimming with me.
** (38328) Andraste
gets up, and groggily follows, hoping to get a quick drink of water and wash
her face. **
(38371) DM: It is now early
on 17 Pharast.
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon
preparshis spells and gear for the coming day **
(38393) Zelata: I cannon
ball into the water, the deepest part I can find.
(38376) Cairne Garess: brb
** (38395) Carden stretches and packs sup
**
** (38375) Segrid leans over and
whispers to Cairne "I thought this was the Shrike
River, not the Shriek River."
**
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "heh"
(38375) Segrid: "Isn't
that water cold? It's pretty early in the year for bathing." Segrid calls
out to the ladies.
(38393) Zelata: I go a
secluded section as well to take a bath before coming back to camp.
(38393) Zelata: I say back
to Segrid "For males for who care nothing for hygeine maybe!"
** (38375) Segrid laughs.
"I'll save myself for those hot
springs the fairies told us about, thank you." **
** (38395) Carden shakes his head "We continuing south or want to head
west?) **
(38395) Carden: "
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Ill
take a bath when I have hot water"
(38328) Andraste: "Yes
Segrid, being clean is very important!" she says, emptying a bucket of
water over Zelata's head, "Which is why Zel needs an exceptional
scrubbing."
(38393) Zelata: brb**
(38375) Segrid: "Your a
braver soul than I, dear Andraste. Although, perhaps with flamey in there, the
water might rise to a boil."
(38376) Cairne Garess: back
(38328) Andraste: "Perhaps
with you around in the water with the ladies, Sir Segrid, the water will become
that much hotter?" she chuckles.
(38371) DM: The plains soon
give way to the low rolling hills at the edge of the Kamelands.
(38375) Segrid: "I say
West \" (5-6, that is after we've fully explored 5-7)
(38371) DM: (hex 5-7 is a
hills hex)
(38376) Cairne Garess: eventually
the party fund may cover bathing, until then I recomend making do with what is
available.
(38328) Andraste: (I
am game for exploring the south of the small river)
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: ((
Might as well ))
(38371) DM: It is shortly
after noon and you have explored about half of the hex.
** (38375) Segrid blushes, turning
away to hide his reaction from Andraste. "Umn" (gulp) "That's a
chance I'll have to postpone taking for the moment." **
(38371) DM: As you reapproach
the northernish bank of the Shrike river, you come upon the abandoned remnants
of a river ferry crossing.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Now
this could be useful"
(38371) DM: A thick soggy
rope hangs across the river.
(38371) DM: In front of the
dock is a sign that reads "Nettles' Crossing--5 coppers--ring bell for
service."
(38328) Andraste: "It
could be, but it appears worse for wear and I don't trust it," she says,
noting its appearence.
(38371) DM: A rusty bell
hangs by the sign
(38375) Segrid: "Looks like
it's in need of repair. I wonder if the badits destroyed it?"
** (38395) Carden goes over and rings the bell; betting nothing occurs **
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "No
Idea"
(38375) Segrid: "Well,
I guess that sign is out of date...."
(38328) Andraste: "I
doubt it, it looks like nature did it in,"
(38371) DM: As soon as you
ring the bell, you see a rotting body rise up out of the water a little
downstream, among some debris that is caught on the rocks.
(38328) Andraste: "Well
I wonder where the ferryman is," she chuckles, "Maybe he'll rise from the grave right this instant.
(38371) DM: The rotting body
begins to move towards you slowly, walking on the water.
(38375) Segrid: "Is..
that him?"
(38371) DM: It raises a hand
and speaks out in a errie soggy voice:
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon draws
his sword **
(38375) Segrid: "Andraste,
I hate it when you're prophetic like that."
(38371) DM: "You are not
my tormentors. Throw the Stag Lord's body into the river that I may look upon
his death, or join me instead."
(38376) Cairne Garess: "Zel,
I hope you are ready with the fire."
(38376) Cairne Garess: I
cast mage armor
(38376) Cairne Garess: or not
(38328) Andraste: "Hold
on," she says raising a hand, "It doesnt appear hostile. It wants us
to throw the stag lord in there with him it seems.
(38376) Cairne Garess: man
everyone hates that guy.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Guys
wait I dont think it will attack us unless we attack first"
** (38395) Carden quirks a brow **
(38375) Segrid: "The
Stag Lord torments you? How?
(38328) Andraste: "Tell
me, good sir. Why do you wish to see this man join you within the watery depths
of this river?" she asks loudly.
(38376) Cairne Garess: Andraste,
are you getting anything off of this guy?
** (38328) Andraste
tries detect evil on him. **
(38371) DM: (detects as NE)
(38328) Andraste: "He
has a malovelent spirit, I think he's undead."
** (38395) Carden as they talk to the dead man; looks around (perception
[1d20+7] => [7,7] = (14)) **
(38328) Andraste: "Or
at the very least, a man with rubbery skin, who can hold his breath for hours
and is evil."
(38371) DM: "The Stag
Lord and his bandits attacked and burned my house. They killed my hounds and
caused the bridge to collapse, forcing me into the icy waters where I
drowned."
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Sounds
like all he wants is some Revenge"
(38375) Segrid: "Where
is your house that we may examine the truth of your words?"
(38376) Cairne Garess: "Rest
spirit, for the stag lord will face justice."
(38328) Andraste: "Tell
me spirit, if we are to grant you your revenge, will you rest in peace?"
she asks.
(38371) DM: (motions to the
far right)
(38328) Andraste: (Is
it at the other side?)
(38371) DM: "Once the
waters of the river have received the body of the Stag Lord then I will be at
peace. Go and exact my revenge on him!"
(38371) DM: (yes)
(38328) Andraste: "I
think I am willing to grant this poor soul the peace he sought, what of you, my
friends?"
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "I
have no Problems with that"
(38375) Segrid: "Punching
horses, burning dogs inside buildings, this Stag Lord sounds like a real
di....uh, unpleasant fellow."
** (38395) Carden nods **
(38375) Segrid: "I have
no problems trying to give the ferryman his due, if it will rest his spirit and
cleanse the evil from this place."
(38371) DM: "Now
go!"
(38371) DM: The body slowly
receeds back into the water.
(38328) Andraste: "Indeed,
we need to end his influence on these lands if we are to truly make it safe for
settlers," she notes, "Any ideas how to cross?"
** (38375) Segrid shivers at the
sight. **
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Throw
the Stag Lords Body In?"
(38395) Carden: "Well
west then; I dare wish to test the water with that fellow in there"
(38375) Segrid: "Perhaps
if we follow the river some more we may find a natural ford?"
(38328) Andraste: "And
now the mood to bathe in rivers has abated for a few days," she says, as
the body descends.
(38371) DM: (it's a DC 12
climb check to shimmy along the hanging rope)
(38395) Carden: (true but
would have to leave horses)
(38328) Andraste: ((Yep,
lets find a safe place to ford across)
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: ((
and the undead guy will probaly attack as well ))
(38375) Segrid: ((yeah, lets
continue downstream a bit))
(38376) Cairne Garess: sure
(38328) Andraste: (i
think our new teammate pointy stick has no problem crossing though)
(38376) Cairne Garess: stick
that shoots flame, he's the best sorcerer ever!
(38371) DM: As you continue
along the bank further downstream, you are able to find a place to ford and
spend the rest of the afternoon completing your exploration of this hex.
(38375) Segrid: ((I think we
should call him Jose)
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: ((
Only One I trust to shoot flames ))
(38395) Carden: (hehe)
(38376) Cairne Garess: (zel
is going to burn us all)
** (38395) Carden trots along **
(38328) Andraste: ((can
we explore the man's hut too :) ))
(38371) DM: There are just
some burnt remains of what was once a house.
(38375) Segrid: (Dog bones
inside?)
** (38328) Andraste
tethers her horse to something solid, before getting off. **
(38376) Cairne Garess: everyone
knows that bandits keep all the good stuff in the ashes of houses they burn,
its a thing they do.
(38371) DM: (survival check)
(38376) Cairne Garess: brb
(38375) Segrid: Survival: [1d20+5] => [2,5] = (7); +2 vs.
Humans +1 track
(38375) Segrid: (yay :( ))
** (38395) Carden shakes his head and dismounts as well; looking around as
well (survival [1d20+6] => [3,6] = (9)) **
(38395) Carden: (geezx)
(38371) DM: You don't find
any bones "inside" the house, but out front you find some that could
be from dogs
(38371) DM: you also find a
couple of arrowheads close to the bones
(38328) Andraste: "Poor
dogs, but i think they were killed by arrows," she says.
(38375) Segrid: "Our
bandits like to shoot people and pets from a safe range, it seems. Except for
the dead ole battleaxe."
(38376) Cairne Garess: back
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "just
one more reason to put him in an early grave"
** (38328) Andraste
sighs, getting up and rearranging her leather skirt, "Theres nothing left
for us to do here. Perhaps we can mark the poor ferryman's grave when we
return." **
(38375) Segrid: "People
should be able to eak out an existence, no matter how meager, without the fear
of such tresspasses."
(38395) Carden: "Sounds
finds Andraste"
(38371) DM: On towards hex
5-6 (to the west of here)?
(38375) Segrid: "I
think once we've taken care of the Stag Lord, we should restore the bridge as a
memorial."
** (38395) Carden nods **
(38375) Segrid: (yes, 5-6)
(38328) Andraste: "Indeed,
lets head out, the sooner we find this man, the faster
this land shall heal."
(38376) Cairne Garess: I think
we should handle the stag lord sooner rather than later so as to not chance
other travler's stumbling into that unnatural creature's path.
(38376) Cairne Garess: doot?
(38328) Andraste: ((if
only we had a druid!)
(38375) Segrid: "Aye,
the foul man's reign must end."
** (38395) Carden nods **
(38371) DM: Traveling to hex
5-6 reveals more hilly terrain.
(38371) DM: As you explore
further in towards the center of the hex, you begin to make out a huge 100'
tall sycamore tree in the distance.
(38328) Andraste: "The
man is well established it seems, we shouldn't be overly hasty however,"
she says, and points at the tree, "Do you think thats
the Sycamore tree Bokken mentioned?"
(38395) Carden: "Thats
a sight"
(38376) Cairne Garess: 63
rations left
(38375) Segrid: "Sycamore..
didn't the bandits we capture say something about a sycamore tree?"
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Could
be"
(38328) Andraste: "Worth
investigating in my opinion, lets head there."
** (38395) Carden follows the troop **
(38375) Segrid: "Something
about mice? No... mites. Said something about mites under a sycamore tree
right?"
(38376) Cairne Garess: A
large thicket of fangberres grows 65 miles south of olegs.
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon readies
his Crossbow and follows after the others **
(38376) Cairne Garess: thats
what he said
(38328) Andraste: "Oh
yes, this could be where they took the loot."
(38375) Segrid: "And
perhaps Svetlanna's ring?"
(38376) Cairne Garess: and
bokken's brother lives in a tree.
(38371) DM: As you get closer
to the tree, while still perhaps a couple of hundred feet away, you come upon
some dead bodies, both of mites and of kobolds
** (38375) Segrid dismounts and
readies shield and sword. **
(38376) Cairne Garess: oh yeah,
the mites stole some stuff and took it to their sycamore.
** (38395) Carden gets his bow in hand as he rides through the bodies **

his dagger)

adjust your weapon swings (-2 to hit on attacks)

using a small catapult rigged out of bones and branches to shoot caltrops at
Uurch's mouth, which he then tries to catch.

awhile to get used to this, there seems to be two exists. Lets head into one of
them."

cry and kick the centipede.

gone then?"
(38375) Segrid: "No. We
should try the pool. It worked for Carden. We should go. Now."
(38376) Cairne Garess: Agreed.

should, but don't count on it working"

careful takes 10 on the way back up)
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon Ties a
rope around Andrastes body, Carefully Climbs back up the Chasm and then starts
hauling her body up **

some rope and tie it onto adraste and then say "Someone climb up, and then
pull her up, she's dead, I'm sure she won't mind a few bumps and scrapes, with
all due respect"
(38433) Zelata: ((Stealing
my idea bish))

say we offer the kobold a ride to saftey.
(38371) DM: Working together
you are able to lift her body out of the lair
(38433) Zelata: ((sorry, bad
net))
(38411) Andraste: ((I
should have used total defense to be honest ;x))
** (38395) Carden says a small prayer once out for Andraste as they get her
situated on horseback and soon heading **
(38375) Segrid: Ride with
all due haste to the temple (probably, but whatchagonnado?))
(38411) Andraste: ((Well
lets hope it still works))
(38433) Zelata: I ride my
horsey too.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Hope
this works"
(38371) DM: As you ride off
from the sycamore tree, you find that your path is blocked by a statue standing
right in the middle of the trail!
(38371) DM: It doesn't appear
to be solid
** (38375) Segrid looks at the
statue in disbelief. **
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Now
that was not there before"
(38433) Zelata: "What
in the world?"
** (38395) Carden pulls reigns hard to avoid crashing into the statue **
(38371) DM: and you're not
sure if it's real or if you are having a vision
(38395) Carden: "holy
erastil"
(38433) Zelata: Gets off and
and tries to push it over.
(38371) DM: Then there's that
disembodied voice again:
(38371) DM: "Administer
the draught of preservation to your fallen comrade and make haste to my temple
so that she may live again!"
(38371) DM: Then the statue
fades away
(38371) DM: and there is a
golden vial on the ground where the base of the statue was
** (38395) Carden dismounts and collects the vial. He soons pulls it into
Andraste mouth. **
(38395) Carden: (pours*)
** (38375) Segrid mutters a quiet
prayer of thanks to Erastil. **
(38371) DM: (the vial
contains a potion of gentle repose)
(38433) Zelata: I fall over
after attempting to push the statue over.
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon doent
know what to say **
** (38395) Carden does another prayer as he finishes and mounts back up to
head to the temple **
(38376) Test: It can contain
moose urine for all I care, when a horned statue tells you to do something you
do it.
(38375) Segrid: "Let us
fly!"
(38411) Andraste: There
is a flow fo blood sliding out from her mouth, staining her long platinum
blonde hair, but she looks serene, a gentle smile on her face as if she was
just sleeping; yet the large bite wound onher throat quickly reminds you that
she is indeed dead.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Let's
hurry then"
(38376) Test: Guidnce for
the forced march.
(38376) Test: +1 to the
constitution check, also we have two horses each.
(38371) DM: It takes all of
19 Pharast and about half of 20 Pharast until you reach the Temple of Erastil
(38376) Cairne Garess: weird
(38455) Zelata (enter): 21:46
(38375) Segrid: ((filter
test buddy))
(38455) Zelata: ((Andraste
you have another hole! O,..,O))
(38371) DM: Once you arrive,
you see that Perlivash and Tig-titter-tut are already there, their eyes red
from weeping.
(38375) Segrid: ((nm))
(38455) Zelata: ((What?))
** (38395) Carden moves the horse close to the pool and soon starts to
slide andraste in **
** (38375) Segrid helps Carden
load her into the pool. **
** (38375) Segrid weeps with the
fairies. **
** (38279) Jeremiah Nixon watches
**
(38371) DM: We both had a
dream last night that the pretty blonde biggin had died and would be brought
here.

we hope Erastil's might will once again provide a respite from our
sorrows."
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "Well
hopefully that will change Shortly"
(38371) DM: The sky has been
overcast as you approached the temple, but once you lay Andraste's body into
the pool, there is a clearing in the clouds
(38371) DM: and streaming
demiglories of light break through and illuminate the pool
(38371) DM: suddenly Andraste
sits up and lets out a big gasp
(38371) DM: and begins
coughing
(38376) Cairne Garess: "note
to self, Temple to Shelyn needs a pool"

(38375) Segrid: Tears
transformed to a wide, joyous smile, Segrid declares "We need to find that
statue for Erastil."
** (38458) Andraste
opens her eyes and stares up at the sky, "I can see the sky I was once
born under again, I am alive," she says, with a hint of a sigh in there,
as if in regret. **
(38371) DM: (you guys are
going to have to drop some coin for Erastil at some point to make up for the
"free" resurrections)
** (38395) Carden kneels to the ground and does another prayer. He ends it
with "Thank you great and wise Erastil" **
(38458) Andraste: Whatever
small amounts of sorrow her face shows quickly disappears as soon as she sees
her friends, quickly breaking into a smile matching Segrid's, "It appears
Erastil has blessed us to be together once more, my friends. I apologize for
failing you earlier."
(38375) Segrid: "Yes,
yes you are." Segrid hugs Andraste.
(38371) DM: "She's
alive!" the faries shout and begin dancing about.
(38375) Segrid: "Failing?
No, no failure."
(38376) Cairne Garess: (Do
we put those coins in the pool or is there a box?)
(38371) DM: (I'll think about
it. Someone might get a vision of what to do or build for him.)
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: "I
wouldnt call that a failure"
(38458) Andraste: ((We
can make a box, how about we make a statue the first thing after we start our kingdom :3)
(38375) Segrid: "The
thing that destroyed you was in turn destroyed." Realizing he is still
holding the paladin, he quickly realeases her, turning a deep shade of red.
** (38458) Andraste
nods her head at everyone, and accepts Segrid's hug, "It is alright
Segrid, though I am a Paladin, I am also a person, and also a woman." she
says, giving him a radiant smile. **
(38375) Segrid: "Uh,
yeah.. ok." Segrid smiles back.
(38371) DM: so we'll stop
here
(38376) Cairne Garess: we
are 21820 in the red.
(38279) Jeremiah Nixon: kk))
(38375) Segrid: We'll print
our own money on vellum, and say it's worth gold.
(38375) Segrid: "In
Erastil we Trust" then we can donate a bunch of this paper.
(38376) Cairne Garess: (relax,
thats like 1/10th of a temple, and Erastil gets a temple.

(38375) Segrid: Hopefully
with Pervilash's tail?
(38375) Segrid: :)
** (38458) Andraste
slowly climbs out of the pool of water, sitting at the edge of the pond, and
closing her eyes as if in prayer or contemplation. **
** (38375) Segrid sits by the
pool, marvelling at the miracles he has witnessed. **

(38376) Cairne Garess: well
Carden, thatws pretty much what happened to you.
** (38395) Carden nods "indeed; i had a dream about it that
night" **
(38458) Andraste: "Indeed, " she says, opening her eyes, "This does nothing
but reinforce my faith in Old Deadeye. I feel as if I have to repay him for his
kindness to his followers."
(38375) Segrid: "It was
amazing, Andraste. That statue.. from the ... visions. appeared to us all and
told us to feed you a preserving draught, which appeared when the statue faded,
and bring you here. We were already headed here with hope and dread of equal
measure."
(38375) Segrid: "I feel
like we should find that statue, find what it means."
(38375) Segrid: "hmmm..
if it's even real."
(38375) Segrid: "I've
never been big into this spiritual stuff."
(38458) Andraste: "It
is possibly Erastil's avatar on this plane, to meet his faithful followers, and
yes, I am glad you had faith in Old Deadeye to see me brought back to
life," she says.
(38376) Cairne Garess: "my
Goddess is pretty cool too...)
(38458) Andraste: "Has
this changed your mind, Segrid?" she says, tiling her head, letting a few
drops of water fall from her hair.
** (38375) Segrid hangs his head.
"I guess my father always had more faith in steel than spirit." he
sighs "But what I've seen these past few weeks....." **
(38375) Segrid: "No
steel can do these things."
(38375) Segrid: "Erastil
has plans for you and Brother Carden surely."
** (38458) Andraste
nods her head, "It is not a weakness to rely on steel, Sigrid...and yes,
miracles, more miracles than any person has a right to see in one
lifetime." **
(38375) Segrid: "Aye,
Cairne, I was raised to believe in the goodness of the gods, but to trust in
the firmness of the blade."

Zelata' from room...
(38458) Andraste: "Perhaps
you wish to join us Segrid?" she asks, "Erastil is a wise good god,
who appreciates the man who wishes to meet out a simple existence and
build."
(38433) Zelata (exit): 22:10
(38375) Segrid: "Steel
is all I've had... but now I feel like there's more... That maybe even I...
err, maybe my blade is meant for more than just being sharpened. Do you think
Erastil has plans for me, Andraste?"
(38375) Segrid: "I
would rather like that, yes."
(38375) Segrid: "What..
what do I do?"
(38376) Cairne Garess: ..
(38458) Andraste: "Plans?
Perhaps, only he can say. But I believe so, I truly do," she says, giving
a reassuring smile, "As for what you wish to do? That is up to you, free
will is a gift of the gods bestowed on all sentient beings."
(38376) Cairne Garess: My
guess is you respect nature, use a bow and every part of the game you kill.
(38458) Andraste: "But
I believe you would make a fine worshipper of Erastil, already you respect his
ways," she says, agreeing with Cairne.
(38375) Segrid: "Those
are easy enough tenants to live by, and not at all foreign to my way of
thinking. Doesn't Erastil speak of raising a family, as well?"
** (38375) Segrid turns slightly
pink. **
(38458) Andraste: "Erastil
promotes the simple life, a man raising a happy loving family, through hard
work and devotion," she says, nodding her head, "And the woman
staying at home tending to the chores and the children, and giving him a
helping hand when he needs it."
(38375) Segrid: "If you
will continue to teach me his ways, Andraste, I will try to follow them. I am
glad to have you as an instructor... and a friend."
(38458) Andraste: "I
will try to guide you, Segrid," she says, a hand on his, "And I am
glad to have someone loyal and steadfast by my side. No doubt you grieved the
most while I was gone?"
(38376) Cairne Garess: Erastil
(pronounced eh-RAS-til)[1] => 1 is one of the oldest
gods still worshiped in Avistan. His religion dates back to before the Age of
Darkness when small farming communities and hunter-gatherers prayed to him for
bountiful harvests and successful hunts. He is a god of the hunt and of
farming, leading his followers by example and good deeds rather than flowery
rhetoric
(38376) Cairne Garess: [1d20+7]
=> [1,7] = (8)
** (38375) Segrid warms at her
touch, smiling a bit embarrasedly. "I was... most aggrieved indeed. I know
the others were also frettful. Umnn.. " **
(38375) Segrid: "I will
be by your side for as long as you accept the burden of my company." he
says as if quoting something.
(38371) DM: (I'm going to
save the chat text now. See you guys next time.)
** (38458) Andraste
chuckles, and gently taps your nose with her finger, "I didn't, but now I
know," she smiles, "And I am glad, it is wrong I know, to feel good
while others miss you, but I do." **

[11:25:52] ** (38375) Segrid looks into Andraste's eyes, hoping to see something... **
[11:25:55] (38458) Andraste: "Your company is no burden, Segrid, it is good to have someone strong and reliable to share the burden's of life with," she sighs in contentment.
[11:26:16] (38376) Cairne Garess: so yeah, we need to stop dying.
[11:26:54] (38458) Andraste: Her eyes are closed at the moment, but she seems happy.
[11:27:01] ** (38375) Segrid looks at Cairne, as if realizing suddenly that there is more to the world than he and Andraste. **
[11:27:29] (38375) Segrid: "Right." he straightens himself. "Good plan."
[11:28:13] ** (38375) Segrid smiles, realizing his hand is still in Andraste's and savoring it for as long as it will last. **
[11:29:25] (38375) Segrid: "So, how do we go about that not dying thing. It's a big tough world with lots of creepy crawly bugs the size of the house I grew up in. Oh, and Trolls. And inciting Sorceresses."
[11:29:50] (38458) Andraste: "I will indeed try," she says, before getting up and drying her hair, smiling at Segrid's touch, helping him up, "A tough world, but made easier to tackle with all of us here."
[11:32:46] (38375) Segrid: "Yes, Cairne's and Carden's spells... And Zelata's fire, too I suppose, combined with your bravery and my training make us formidable. We just have to remember they don't make us indestructable... and if someone could teach that to Zelata, we'd be golden."
[11:33:06] ** (38375) Segrid cracks a wide smile. **
[11:34:36] (38376) Cairne Garess: I am not having much in the way of ac boosting spells till second level.
[11:34:40] ** (38458) Andraste chuckles, "Indeed, I fear someday her antics may make me very cross with her, and I am worried about that," she says. **
[11:35:55] (38375) Segrid: "Ah, she's just young, I remember thinking I could take on the world at that age." ((all of like 4 years ago.))
[11:36:25] (38375) Segrid: "What am I saying?" he chuckles "The girl's insane."

[11:38:05] (38375) Segrid: ((Our ACs are pretty high for our level, it's just giant things with lots of HD that are kicking our tails... mostly... axe wielding bandits ...))
[11:40:39] (38375) Segrid: ...
[11:41:08] (38458) Andraste: ((Yep))
[11:41:18] (38458) Andraste: ((Sorry was alt tabbed away to read about paladins))
[11:41:37] (38375) Segrid: ((np))
[11:41:39] (38458) Andraste: ((I have an AC of 21, I was like, what are the chances you would roll a 17 or higher? And then Isee 18...Fuu!)
[11:42:23] (38458) Andraste: "She is indeed...impulsive, but it shall be tempered with experience. I am doubtful my death has made her any more careful, but one can only hope," she says.
[11:44:07] ** (38375) Segrid 's smile fades "She loves you, and I am sure your... demise affected her, but she seems immune to chastisement in any form." **
[11:45:52] (38375) Segrid: "But you seem to be able to direct her impulses to some degree. Without you she'd probably get us all killed."
[11:47:40] (38375) Segrid: "Look, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm actually trying not to be mean to her; you were right, it serves no purpose.. but sometimes I see her recklessness and... I don't want to lose you... any of you because of it."
[11:49:09] (38458) Andraste: "Experience tempers even the most fiery disposition Segrid," she smiles, "I understand that, Segrid. And out of all the others, I can see you have become far nicer to her, I appreciate this. I believe she will change for us, or at least try to care for us the same way we care for each other,"
[11:51:28] (38458) Andraste: "All of this is hope and faith," she says, "Something I was born and raised to have, it has helped keep me positive during the hardest points in my life. And I hope to share this gift with you as well during our journey."
[11:53:25] (38375) Segrid: "And I admit, I find her ... enthusiasm... contagious when we aren't in danger. She has a lot of spunk and I cannot deny that she has power. I think we need to ... I need to... show her that we respect her for that. Maybe if she can trust more than just you, she'll open herself to that growth you hope for."
[11:55:02] (38458) Andraste: "Indeed," she says, taking off a wooden symbol from underneath her armor, handing it to Segrid, "Here, this is a symbol of Erastil. When I was a young girl, a priest gave me three in exchange for my services to Erastil. I wish you to have one, a symbol of me sharing my faith with you,"
[11:56:27] ** (38375) Segrid blinks. "I umn... I don't... err.. Thank you, Andraste." he pauses when taking it from her, his hand lingering against hers. **
[11:57:12] ** (38375) Segrid places the holy symbol around his neck. **
[11:57:54] ** (38375) Segrid kisses Andraste on the cheek. "Thank you." **
[11:58:24] (38375) Segrid: "Umn... I hope that wasn't inappropriate" he flushes.
[11:59:36] (38458) Andraste: "As I said, Segrid," she says, leaning forward and placing a hand underneath your chin, "I am a Paladin," sternness flashes across her face, before breaking into a warm, soft smile, "But also a person," She leans forward and gives him a kiss on the cheek, "As well as a woman."

[12:03:03] ** (38458) Andraste hugs him in return, returning his kiss, her hair, now dry, flutters in the breeze. **
[12:04:51] ** (38375) Segrid brushes the side of her cheek. "For as long as you'kll suffer the burden of my company." he smiles "It was my father's wedding vow to my mother. I found her journal when I was Zelata's age. You are the most remarkable woman I have ever met Andraste." **
[12:06:31] (38458) Andraste: For the first time since you've met her, she blushes, "Thank you," she says simply, "And whether you admit it or not, you are the most courageous, dutiful and empathic man I have ever known."
[12:07:30] ** (38375) Segrid smiles broadly. "Tell me more about Erastil's teachings on family." **
[12:08:24] ** (38458) Andraste sits down on the pool side, her face beet red, "Well, in the..uhm...Erastilian's ideal family..." **
[12:09:28] (38458) Andraste: "I am sorry, the revival has taken a lot out of me," she says.
[12:11:59] (38375) Segrid: "Oh, of course, you must be exhausted. There will be time for you to show,err, teach, ummmnn tell me about it." he turns red. "I'd like to spend a little time reflecting on.. what I've learned. But please allow me to set your tent and bedroll up. Please,l it'll only take a few minutes. You rest here."
[12:13:38] ** (38375) Segrid sets up Andraste's tent and unfurls her bedroll for her, whistling softly as he does so. When the task is complete, he helps her up and then goes into the temple to pray. **
[12:15:20] ** (38458) Andraste lays down, still beet red from the experience, taking a moment to pray something only she knew to her God before slipping off into a blissful sleep. **
