[Dermonster]

"I am traveling through the air by free will via proxy. If that's not flying I'm willing to spend hours upon hours of pointless arguing until it does."

[borno]

Hedric frowns. It must be an item of worth if he is keeping it from him.

He then tries to catch derm and take the feather!

[Spinal_Taper]

"Hey guys, how about you wait until after you're out of danger to look at the feather."

[Sinpwn]

"Don't worry about me, Aero. Help Derm."

Levitate a small patch of the road to fly out of the forest on.

((Poke. Skyrunner? I remember to post in your games.  D:))

[Skyrunner]

((Oops.))
((Edit: Double oops. Should read other people's posts too, 'cept I was going to go to bed >.>))

Head on merry way.

"Thanks, I wouldn't have been able to do that without you. Stupid in hindsight, swinging a sword at a wisp," said Merchant Mina, while Paladin Mina silently railed against the possibility that it could have been wrong. Paladin Mina was the Law, and the Law was not mocked! But Merchant Mina was in charge of Project Be A Civilian, and it had a firm grasp on things now despite there being a minor slip.

[Caellath]

Continue on justice-flamed flailing of sword at wisp.

((Dead wisp?))

[Spinal_Taper]

((I kind of went GOD OF THUNDAA! on it, so yeah it's dead already, Sky.

[Skyrunner]

((Edited with more character and less laziness. I think I'll go to bed now. xD))

Derm

You take the feather from where it fell and start off on a lovely stroll through the smoldering forest. As you pick it up, you notice yourself become noticably heavier; you leave deep footprints in the hard-packed dirt of the road, and each step requires much more effort than usual. Small patterns of frost form in your footprints and quickly melt away.

1 Frostwisp Feather get.
____

Aero

You offer Sinterous a lift out of the forest, but he ignores you. A few moments later, you see that Derm has a large, half-melted spike of ice stuck in his leg, and offer him help instead. He accepts, and you lift him towards the canopy, trying to find a way through. [6] Both of you stare hard at the branches before glancing down at someone...

While you look away, the branches bend and sway, opening a hole for you. Your heads are dusted with leaves.
____

Talendir

Apparently unfazed by the flames slowly spreading from the lightning strike, you continue walking at a steady pace along the road.
____

Hedric

You beg Derm to give you the feather, offering up your supposed expertise as a fence appraiser. He snubs you, and you try to catch him, taking the feather. After all, if other people want shiny magic items, they must be shiny magic items! [2] v. [5] You utterly fail to reach Derm, seeing as he is currently being lifted through a hole in the trees by Aero, who offers a few words of mediation.

____

Sinterous

You stroke your magic ball, whispering to yourself, trying to levitate a chunk of earth from the road as a makeshift flying platform. [2] You fail utterly. You wonder if Levitation is really capable of that sort of physical force.

-4 MP
____

Mina

For a moment, you heft your sword to smite the evil, tainted, demonic, unlawful glowing orb of magical light, before remembering the events of the past few seconds. With a mental laugh, you sheath your sword and continue down the road.
____

Aero and Derm can see out over the forested hills; the fire is relatively contained, and the forest gives way to more open land several hours to the east. A small village is visible in a shallow valley, smoke rising from chimneys. A number of terraced farms rise up along the hillside above it, further surmounted by a crude wooden watchtower. The sun has begun to sink. Below you, the leafy green ocean of trees is rather thick and foreboding. To the north, you can see the broken stump of an old stone tower rise up through the overlapping branches. A large flock of crows (according to Aero; Derm can hardly even tell that they're birds at this distance) rises from it, circling several times before heading toward the two of you.

You hover for a few minutes, taking this in, and trying to decide what to do.

Talendir and Mina continue down the road, followed shortly by a disgruntled Hedric and Sinterous (the Magnificent!). The four of you walk for several minutes, waiting to hear from the two who flew above the trees, when you come upon a stream flowing near-perpendicular to the road. It is wide, and perhaps six or seven meters across, but appears to be relatively shallow. There is no bridge, but you see nothing to prevent you from walking across. You can't see any footprints leading in or out, but the wagon ruts in the road lead straight in, and a matching set rise from the far side.

[Spinal_Taper]

((Oh, what what would I do without you guys correcting my dumb typos? Also, Dice, how much MP did my Thor stunt take up?))
Aero called a rainstorm down onto the forest fire, then spun to give Derm a better view of the area. fly Derm to the village.
"So, can you handle finding our teammates? I'm going to try and tame those crows."
"Watch those crows, make sure they don't get away."

"Thanks, I wouldn't have been able to do that without you. Stupid in hindsight, swinging a sword at a wisp".

Talendir stared at Mina. He didn't even try and pretend he cared about the woman who he was now fairly sure was a paladin. He was still deciding whether he should or not confront her as soon as they got to the next settlement.

"Whatever."

Wait and see if Mina is harmed while walking through the river.

If so, find a tree and knock it down to make a bridge. Then Keep walking.

If not, Keep walking.

Inventory: (see below/linked to class; you may include a small, nonmagical trinket or memento; your basic clothing is assumed to be on you)
-Broadsword
-Heater Shield
-Chainmail (soaks 12 damage from mundane attacks, adds +4 damage to electrical effects on you)
-Broken greatlance handle: A beautifully designed and crafted part of a spear/polearm handle, measuring around 5 inches and partly broken. Judging by its sheer resilience, the business end of the weapon it once belonged to was very heavy.

Tall and strong, with well-defined although not exaggerated muscles. On top of his chainmail he usually wears a long-sleeved black jacket with an equally black vest and brown long-sleeved shirt underneath, plus an extra shirt under the chainmail.

Skills:
-Weaponmaster: You have an incredible depth of knowledge on weaponry, and gain +3 damage to all successful attacks with melee weapons.
-Squire History: You were once a squire for a knight, and can make small repairs to damaged weapons and armor. (+1 to repair rolls for medieval weapons/armor)
Background: Talendir was born to a simple family which desired a better future for its children. Turning into a knight meant having a shot at brighter days by renting your sword and skill to a lord, and because of that their small boy was sent to be a squire at a castle. He learned how to perform repairs in weaponry and armor as well as how to ride a horse, the last one as a hidden activity. The lord of the castle did not care for lowborn assistants nor was willing to allow the knight assigned to Talendir to teach the boy anything but the skills needed to keep the older man's armor clean and his weapons sharp.

Even in an environment were all opportunities seemed to be denied to him, he still strived to fulfill his and his parents' dream, working during the day and practicing whilst all the souls inside the property slept, focusing on melee after getting his ranged warfare capabilities up to a reasonable standard. His abilities grew exponentially as the result of dedication and training, and his self-inflicted crucible to become a knight finally ended at the young age of 16, when his skills with close-combat weaponry had become so unnervingly obvious he managed to soundly defeat a knight and was granted full knighthood by the lord of the castle by sheer interest in using him as a tool for war.

Talendir became known for his ease in wielding extremely weighty weaponry as it was no more complicated than swinging a dagger around, and capitalized on that fame with his heavy set of armor and weapons, usually carrying an enchanted Horseslayer greatlance and a very large steel round shield, both of which had part of his smithing efforts. His happiness would not last long, and he was expelled from knighthood at the age of 17 for reasons unknown during his first campaign. The events of that time caused him to take on a sour and occasionally jaded attitude as well as becoming hostile towards paladins.

He started to work as a mercenary soldier to survive, gaining experience through a couple of years before being attracted by the call for adventurers.
