I feel like our party is going to be sassy with each other the whole time. xP

Forgotten Realms: Adventures of Faerun

Sumia unfolded her arms and let them fall to her sides, she shook her head at the gypsy, and kept her face serene, "You do not understand. Do not underestimate the dead, my lady. There are reasons we bury them with their treasured trinkets. One is to help them find peace knowing something they treasure is so close. Their families are generally the ones that decide this when burying them, including those orphans you mentioned, and removing them could be very dangerous depending on the spirit. Also, don't you wonder why it's so far away? It's because they're dangerous and that distance will generally keep them there. And that's all without factor of Aesperus that the good Lord here mentioned." she said, nodding to the Hammarch, "Which I don't recommend messing with. A swarm of undead or some sort of death plague is the last thing we need."

The half-elf tilted her head to the side and shrugged, "Besides, if that's what you're planning to do, you're no better than the theives that are already out there. A theft is a theft no matter the intent or the victim." she turned her head back towards the Hammarch, "That said, besides the coin for a few supplies I'll need after this adventure, you can go ahead and give most of my share to those orphans or even homeless, if there are any here. I'm sure all that gold would do them better than it would me."

Sumia looked back at Assallya, "As someone so concerned about the orphans, surely you'll join me and do the same, won't you?" she said, giving the other woman a pretty smile.

I think that kind of speech would be hilarious, imo.

Sumia crossed her arms as she thought, she remained by the door since she wasn't permitted to sit yet.

It became pretty clear why the Eyes sent her here. A paladin of her skill would be almost neccessary to deal with evil spirits and the risen dead. Plus, whatever else lived in the Highfells. She took a few steps forward and nodded to the old man, "I will help as I said I would. However, my concern is more with preserving the peace of the dead than the money." Sumia tilted her head to the side, "I'm curious what you mean by 'and done in a manner that does not breech my trust', though? Are you implying we might try to steal from the tombs? Surely none of us are that low...." Sumia said the last part in a slightly warning tone. Intending such conduct would have immediate consequences from her.

The paladin would obviously never do such a thing but....the other's may. After all what's in the tombs may be worth far more than 175 gold coins. And a few didn't seem like the most.....upstanding of people. Sumia didn't like to hurt people, but foolishness could lead to death. For more than just themselves, possibly. The dead were not to be messed with.

No time like the present!

Sumia rode hard on her faithful steed as she approached the gates of Hulburg. She looked up at the sky, noting it was slightly past noon. "I'm late. Good thing it's just to answer summons and not to fight yet. I'll just have to fight harder to make up for it."

As she got closer and closter the gate, Sumia slowed her steed and hopped off of it. She turned, petted it's neck, and gave it a pat, "I'm sorry for riding you so hard, Archemides, get some rest." she whispered to it, and waved as it dissappated into the air. One of her gifts from Helm. She smiled and waved goodbye before turning back around and heading towards the gate. Sumia pulled the summons out of her satchel and showed it to the guards. He looked at it and grinned at her.

"Late on a magical steed?" he chuckled. "Harmach is already meeting with a group, but better late than never I guess."

Sumia sighed, and brushed her braid back behind her ear, "Funny...Look I've come a pretty long way on short notice. May I pass?"

"Sure..." he pointed to one his men and pointed inside, "Show her to them." the man saluted and escorted her to the small meeting room. She followed behind him with an elegant gait, her hips swaying slightly, her armored boots clackinng lightly on the ground, yet no wasted movement. They were the movements of one very familiar with a blade.

The man gestured her to go inside which she did. "Apologies for being late, my lord. I ran into some trouble on my way here. I couldn't simply just ride by someone being attacked. But I am here to help however I can." she smiled at him, waiting by the door until he told her to enter and take a seat.

Mental Description/Personality: Sumia is a kind and gentle girl, but will fight evil with a vengeance, as well as anyone else that might harm an innocent person. Due to her past she is also a little shy, but not to the extent that she won’t appear distant or unfriendly. She is honest, truthful, and brave in….most respects. She is not one to intentionally flaunt her beauty or her figure. Like any girl, she likes music and dance. Also has a sweet spot for animals. Sumia also has a great dislike of insects and rodents.

Goals: Sumia is a wandering Paladin, helping those in need while also becoming stronger and enhancing her faith. She is also devoted to ridding the land of great evil, much like any Paladin, however protecting others was always her primary concern. Although, a lot of times they went hand in hand.

Background/History: Sumia grew up in a fairly large city. At her birth it was noted that she had a very high potential for magic, and at a young age she was kept watch on by various entities including churches and magical organizations. She was most interested in the former. Sumia loved helping and protecting others. Seeing people smile made her smile. As Sumia learned more and more of from her church, she began to worship Helm, as he was devoted solely to the protection of others. It seemed an obvious choice. She learned much of about healing, and even fighting with a sword to protect others.

At the age of 40, Sumia had fallen in love with a young human named Ben. They were inseparable and the marriage was only a matter of time to many people. The church, however, had other plans for her. They discouraged seeing the poor boy at all, instead focusing on her studies. When she asked why it was revealed to her that her little church wasn’t just a simple church. No, it was a sect of the Vigilant Eyes of God. They told her to keep her distance from any romance, and told her that Helm had great plans for her.

She battled this for quite some time before deciding to become a Paladin of the Vigilant Eyes of God. Ben would always stay in her heart, but how could she decline such a calling? Helping people was all she ever wanted to do, and as a Paladin she could! Ben seemed to disappear shortly after, as she never saw him after…

At age 55, she had become a great swordswoman, as well a healer and protector. And a devout follower of Helm. To keep her mind of Ben, The Eyes frequently sent her off on various missions wherever there was any sort of big trouble. And she traveled the land protecting and healing those in need of her abilities. Which brought her now to Huldburg. She arrived to stock up on supplies on her way to Thar and perhaps get some help. She was told there was somebody or something that would help her here.
