Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Jørmund

Once the being Yosef dropped to the ground unconscious, Jørmund lowered his mace just enough to show that he was not going to strick his fallen foe. He looked around and noticed that several of the attackers were throwing down their weapons and fleeing of the could. Others surrendered when they realized they were surrounded. The earth genasi looks at the approaching statuesque being he could only assume was Ervdul. The tension in his arm returned some as he braced to strike. "Call off your attack and I'll spare your friend. There is no glory left for you to win here. Half your forces are fleeing leaving your right flank exposed. Even if you manage to win against these changes in battle what will it cost you? The lives of your troops? The life of Yoseph?" The cleric left his arm at the ready to strike in case Ervdul decided to continue to push the attack. "Call the attack off."

Jørmund readies an action to attack if he is attacked or Ervdul verbally declines to surrender or retreat.

I have not looked at it recently.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@XxFellsingxX both most likely.

Not sure which faction of Strixhaven Rory would belong to.

Aurora

Rory pulled a small worn leather bundle from her pack and set it on the table. "To answer your question Brut. These were probably the best thing I was ever given. My brother Alex gave them me when I was about fifteen." As she spoke she unrolled the bundle to reveal several lock picks, tension bars, a small mirror mounted on a handle, a file, pliers, and pair of scissors with narrow blades. A few of the picks look as though they have been bent or twisted some, while others look as though they were newer.
"I suppose more importantly he taught me how to use them. It helped when I needed to get out of the stuffy confines of the house. More than once I had been locked in my room until I could be more lady like." Rory picked up one of the picks looking over it carefully. It was one of the picks she had used to open the side door to the estate grounds that she and Xander left their home through. It had served her well that night and on a few odd jobs. There was a small split in the metal where it had twisted to far. She was honestly surprised that it had lasted as long as it had. Placing it back in the bundle, Rory realized she had gotten lost in the memory of the night she left home. She forced a half smile before resuming her tale after realizing that it probably sounded like a bad situation."Fortunately that provided lots of practice in opening locks. I'm not entirely sure my father and mother figured out I kept getting out. They even went so far as changing the locks on the door and windows at least multiple times in several months before resigning to the fact I would still find a way out." The smile slowly faded as the elf told her tale. "Anyway, who else wants to share what the greatest thing they got?" Aurora asked in an attempt to divert the conversation away from herself.

Whoops posted something to the wrong RP. Thought I had a different one up for an IC post.

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Was not for this thread.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

<Snipped quote by rush99999>

Watch as the second part of the campaign after Witchlight ends up taking place Ravnica, Theros or Strixhaven.

@XxFellsingxX

Idk about Theros right now. They've got that strange glistening oil over there. Pretty sure completion is the last thing on everyone's list of things to do.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Post up.

Aurora

Aurora was glad to see that Gabe agreed with her disposition of the bugbears plans to eat the bunny bandits, though Brutrumukk still seemed set on the matter. Know the argument would likely be futile,
Rory took the bowel of stew offered, breathing deep to smell it. While consisting more of vegetables and grains, it would be filling none the less. After eating her fill of the stew, the elf did try some of the plum pie enjoying the pastry.

When the conversation shifted to the inn keeper being more of a gardener, Rory looked over to see Tsu using magic to help the plant grow. She only recognized druidcraft from the few interactions she had with some of the grounds keepers that her family had employed. What surprised the elf was the change in the bugbear's tone and asking what was the best thing everyone had been given. Aurora set the fork down as she listened to Jub explain that the bag of pixie dust Gabe gave him was the best thing. She felt a bit bad that Jub felt embarrassed by the matter.

"Brutrumukk does have a point. Though I think sometimes it isn't the gift itself that matters as much as the intention. A sincere gift tends to always be better for all involved. On top of that, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable if that truly was the best thing given to you. Even the smallest of things could mean more than what some folk think." She paused a moment and looked over to Brutrumukk, who appeared to be less intense as usual. "What about you? What was the best thing you were given?

I'll get a post up on the next couple of days. Been busy and finally got my plumbing fixed for my house.
