I’m interested. It’ll be nice to finally give Dulga some action again.
Honestly I can't really say I'm very interested in trying a new system, especially one that limited when it comes to character creation. If it was just moving to a new setting that'd be one thing, but learning a new game system, even an old school one, seems like a lot of effort. I'll have to pass if that's the only option available for us right now.
I’ll admit, I actually joined a RL group that finished Hotdq a few weeks ago, so I feel like I can’t consciously continue to play Kyra without already knowing what to expect ahead of us. I know that there are some divergent paths that I might not experience with Kyra, but I still know a general gist of the plot, so it’ll be best if we just switch to a new campaign. I’ve been itching to play a more shooty character anyways.
Well regardless, I'm more than willing to pick up where we left off. I honestly don't see our chances being very good since I'm all out of spells and don't have anymore channel divinities, but I'm otherwise willing to see where the chips fall.
I don't mind continuing on, especially since I now have a better grasp of how to build my characters. As for how we continue where we left off, I honestly don't know what will work best since we're in a very bad circumstance. We're pretty much depleted on all resources and I don't know how easily we'll be able to escape. As for introducing new characters, maybe we find them as prisoners here? I mean obviously they need to feed the drakes and this monster something. Maybe when we go look for fresh meat we'll find a new party member who has only recently recovered from their near death experience?
Kyra looks at the group with a satisfied smile. They had the big guy, the weirdo, and one of the newcomers, a halfling druid. She remember hearing their names except for the big guy, who never introduced himself. So he was just going to be big guy for Kyra. "Alright! This looks like a pretty solid group. Like I said before, my name is Kyra Shepard, and this is Sorna! I bet you're all curious about what we're going after but don't worry, I'll tell you everything you need to know as we walk. The troll's not that far away but he's a real good swimmer, so whatever you do don't let him get into the river! Okay let's go." Kyra hops onto Sorna's back as they ride out from the guild hall, expecting the others to catch up. Since Sorna was doing most of the moving Kyra could talk to the others without losing her breath.

"So basically this troll sticks around routes over rivers, because he's super fast in the water. He tries to trick you into answering his riddles for free passage or you can try and bribe him with a lot of money. If you pay him he'll leave you alone, but his riddles either don't have an answer or he'll kill you anyways, and he's done this way too many times! So once we find him, we'll just kill him. From the reports he appears to really smell and have a bunch of flies around him, so watch out for that. As you may or may not know, trolls have a natural regeneration which allows them to survive things even like decapitation and dismemberment, but if you use fire on his wounds, he can't heal from those. But that's probably also why he stays near the rivers so he can put out any fire on himself." It wouldn't be too long before the group would leave town and find a nearby bridge spanning over a river. The perfect place for the troll.

"So here's the plan: You guys hide nearby while me and Sorna lure the troll out. We'll do his riddles for a bit and than run away so he chases us away from the river. That's when you all spring out and we'll kill him. Any questions?"
Kyra goes to look for some bounties. Plenty to choose from but Kyra wants something that would be exciting and challenging. Zombies and wolves are hardly a threat. She needs a true monster for them to hunt. Looking around Kyra finds just the one she wants and has Sorna take it. Seeing how the armored person was recruiting others, Kyra figured she'd do the same, finding a table nearby to sit down and recruit other members to join her and Sorna. "If you're looking for a real hunt, than come with me and Sorna to track down a bridge troll! Apparently he's smart enough to actually talk to people, but whenever they answer his riddles, he just eats them anyways! He's tough, and seems like he heals from his wounds, but I bet anyone who helps me take him down will be rewarded well! I'll be taking maybe three more people before we head out!"
Kyra looks to Sorna and nods. "You know my sizes!" Sorna nods and heads over to the table. While she was doing that, Kyra was sizing up the others. Though she doesn't imagine she needs to, she wants to know their strengths and weaknesses in case she has to fight them. Once of the first people who came in after her and Sorna was a big guy; smelled clean, so probably a knight or something. He certainly dressed like one but she could already guess that he was the type to pick up a big sword or axe and just go to town. Lacks a range option; as long as she keeps her distance he'd be easy to take out even with all that armor. Next was a big boobed mage; just seeing her made Kyra angry for unreasonable reasons. Even if they weren't enemies, Kyra would definitely prank her later. There's nothing to be proud of about her body! Next was a wolf beastkin. She's seen their kind before, but she's never seen an outfit like his. Kyra remembers her mother giving her some dresses in a similar design, but Kyra didn't care to dress up as some foreign princess.

Next was some... Weirdo. The way he carried and dressed himself immediately made Kyra think he was some sort of freak. Seriously, was he here to fight or dance? She doubts he's a warrior of any sort, so likely a mage. Next was another elf, but this time she came in almost full armor, a shield, and a big sword. Weird, but she wasn't wearing a helmet, so she'll probably be just like the big guy: a strong melee fighter but easily kited. Lastly was a tall barbarian type. He had a big sword, big club, and generally was a pretty big guy. Same as the first but probably lighter on his feet. All in all, everyone looked like the sort of crew you'd expect a mercenary guild would attract. Kyra would have to wait and see if they're worth their salt though. Soon Sorna would return with a new cloak. It looked just like the one Kyra had, but with the guild emblem on it. "Alright! Now that we have our uniforms, where's the bounty board? I want to know if I should bring my serrated arrows!"




Sorna would separate from Kyra and go get their cloaks. Upon reaching the mage Sorna would ask for a small size cloak for an archer, and a large tabard for a warrior. She could tell that Kyra was sizing everyone up, but Sorna didn't care for that sort of thing. If it really came down to it and they had to fight, Sorna simply intends to runaway with Kyra. She may talk a big game about hunting monsters, but she hasn't truly blooded her hands and took the life that wasn't simply an animal. No doubt Kyra would be able to deal with it after the initial reaction, but Sorna hopes to keep Kyra away from that sort of lifestyle. Better that she focus that aggression to killing monsters, and not mortals. Once she returns to Kyra, Sorna hands her a cloak. "For you." Sorna opted not to put her tabard on right this moment; she'd need to find a private place to change first if she were to do that.
