[Skyrunner]

Mina wonders where the cat disappeared to that time when she thought she took it.

She goes find Talendir, since he probably already has gotten access to the armory somehow. He's like that. Harsh, looting, unfriendly, resourceful, not Evil, and strangely two-sided. Hrm.

Fixed.

[Dermonster]

This is like a session of scooby doo except with an entire room instead of a monster and a group of incompetent people instead of a group of possibly drugged teenagers. Even the Benny hill music is finding it hard to take it seriously.

[Maxinum McDreich]

(So glad this is still going ^^. Even gladder (is that a word?) that I had a good roll for that.)

Lei perked up, immeasurably. ''Thankyou so much!'' She bowed slightly, a habit of her lands. You truly are kind.'' Her questions and little quest managed to block out the happenings of the day, atleast temporarily.

Lei searched for the hidden basement (yeah, telling me to look for the hidden basement...). On arrival, she looked at some of the scrolls whilst keeping an eye out on the Kin. Anything else of interest she noted.

[Flying Dice]

Guess what I already had running through my head, derm.  Required listening for this turn.
____
Derm reaches out towards the glowing disc, expecting to feel his hand closing on it.

[1]

He feels as if he is being sucked into an incredibly narrow tube, fragmented moments of clear thought echoing with little more than agony and a strange Otherness. After an indeterminable length of time, Derm wakes. He feels quite cold. Opening his eyes, he gazes up an overcast sky, the slight spot of light behind the grey haze the only indication that it is in fact day. Glancing around, he finds that he is lying on the side of a snowy hill, sparsely covered with evergreens, their boughs heavy with ice and more snow. Mountains rise up in the distance.
____

Talendir, slightly frustrated by this point, continues to search for an armory.

[3]

He still cannot find anything remotely resembling an armory. Whoever constructed this tower certainly had an obsession with security, perhaps too much so. That, or it wasn't originally a military structure and none of the subsequent owners had bothered converting a room.
____

Aero covers more of the tower, trying to find the same elusive room.

[3]

He has no more luck than Talendir, and begins to wonder if some trickster deity is laughing at him.
____

Mina decides to go in search of Talendir. B-but it's not like she likes him or anything, the stupid idiot!

[3]

She can't find him, though she does notice Aero running from room to room like a chicken with its head cut off. The stray cat follows her, eyes sparkling with amusement.

((Cats aren't stupid. It buggered out as soon as it saw that daemon.  ))
____

Lei thanks the man, heading off in search for the hidden basement.

[4]

She finds it without too much difficulty. From the appearance of the room the open trapdoor was in, it looks as if someone else has already gone down into it. Upon descending into the basement, she notes a single set of fresh footprints in the dust on the floor. They lead down the length of the room, stopping in front of a strange, glowing disc, which casts off the light illuminating the basement. Lei browses through the scrolls and tomes, searching for anything related to the Kin, as well as anything else which happens to catch her eye.

[2]

She doesn't have much luck glancing through the racks and shelves.
____

Sinterous stands around, slightly puzzled.

Hedric has gone practically catatonic outside the tower. One of the redcoated soldiers pokes him with a stick.

I think the dice hate you. Only one darned positive roll this turn. D:

Jump skyward, check area from on high.

[Caellath]

...Talendir starts to consider the possibility of all the weapons actually have been in a pile somewhere and all of them happened to be taken by the Greenhaven defenders.

Armory, search for it once more.

-Chainmail (soaks 12 damage from mundane attacks, adds +4 damage to electrical effects on you)

Age: 20

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.

Class: Soldier
-Hardened: You take -3 damage from all physical attacks.
-Great Strength: You can use heavy weapons without penalty or increased danger from failures.
-Few Words: You aren’t much for talking with strangers, and are less likely to convince people you don’t know. (-1 to speech/persuasion rolls for strangers)
-Brother/Sisterhood: You bond closely with those around you, and are willing to risk yourself to defend them. (+1 to rolls in which you are acting to protect another party member)
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.

(wow, my luck's been slowly turning for me. My fervent prayers to the dice gods have been answered!)

Lei kept looking, assured that the cloaked man would not lie to her. If she failed again, she'd put on her Pince-Nez incase they might spot a kind of spell that would hide what's in plain sight.

Aero halted his frenzied sprint through the keep upon sighting Mina. He paused for a moment to think, before continuing his walk towards her. Going over his appearance as he walked, he walked up next to her, whereupon he tapped her to get her attention.

"Ey. Just realized dat even though we're on da same team and all dat jazz, we barely even know eachotha. Know what I mean?"

He said the last line with a wink and a sultry glance.

Flirt! Ignore her paladin status! Then, loot! Magic swords, not magic swords, anything that looks valuable.

[Maxinum McDreich]

(oh lord, I'd say love triangle, but I just fear for Aero right now XD)

"Yes," Mina sai. "Hi. I'm Mina. Nice to meet you."

She tries to pick up the kitty, then follows the headless chicken man.

[Flying Dice]

Derm tries to push off into the air.

[1]

Apparently whatever happened to him stripped away the effects he had placed on himself. He jumps a few times, getting a little snow inside his shoes.
____

Talendir begins to question the existence of an armory as he continues to search for one.

[2]

He has searched through virtually the entire tower, unless there are hidden areas of some sort.
____

Lei browses through the small library.

[3]

She doesn't find anything more specific than a few historical accounts with no explicit mention of any sort of bloodline traits. Frustrated, she balances the pince-nez on her nose as she skims through an old leather-bound tome.

[5]

In the wide margins, tiny, spidery text appears. It looks as if it has been handwritten in over the course of years, and fills every page. Casual examination alone reveals several specific references to the Kin, and to something called "The Waking Eye". It will require further study to determine more information.

____

Aero tries to flirt with Mina.

[2]

"Are you Fallen, because you look like an angel."

Almost as if he realizes that using bad pickup lines on a paladin is a rather poor idea, Aero turns away and searches for something to loot.

[3]

He finds more snakes. For a moment, he considers hiding in a drift of them.
____

Mina tries to pick up the still-nameless cat as Aero hits on her.

[1]

It looks at her almost as if laughing, then bounds away in pursuit of Aero. Mina follows, watching it pounce on him.
____

Mina's stray cat jumps onto Aero, biting his wing.

[6] v. [1]

It catches him completely by surprise and hangs off of his right wing, looking rather smug.

-4 HP
____

((Spinal_Taper, you just took [what amounts to] a critical hit sneak attack from a sentient housecat. Which is imprinted on a party member, has a reason to not like you, thinks hurting you is funny, and knows that you look and taste like a giant bird. :V

Also, one of the two successful rolls this turn was made by a small pet. -_-'))
