Hello!

That is all. Welcome to the guild fellow MTG player.

I prefer trampling everyone with my Elves :p
And thanks! <3

Hello!

Welp, I've been on RPGuild for awhile now, but I don't think I've ever stopped to make an introduction post. So, why not? Better late than never I guess...

You can call me Emy or Twystyd, either name works fine for me. I recently turned a number I don't want to admit because then it makes me sound old and lame. Okay I'm 33, but I refuse to have the last two years count towards my birthdays :p
I'm mostly a stay at home mom, I work part time over the weekends, and I am trying to get established more as a Twitch streamer and focus back on my other artsy avenue. I'm here writing to fill in my down time (which I have lots of at the moment while I fix up the house) I play DnD weekly, game on the PC and Xbox, love playing Magic the Gathering, Warhammer 40k and newest Malifaux, all of which I still need to learn to play, but getting there.
When it comes to the RP side of things I'm pretty laid back. I do have some rules and what nots I like to follow but I can do anything in modern, medieval, fantasy, a little mash up of this or that.

Heck, even if we don't end up RPing together I am still down for talking and chatting with new people when I can so don't be afraid to say hi.

Anyways, hope this is enough for you all. If you want to know more, hit that send message button!

Conquest of Caldaria

Sliding into the seat across from Malkus, she took a few more sips of the warm drink and watched as he produced some extra food. As someone who only had so much to eat, and had food used against her for years now, she was careful to take it, almost as if she was waiting for him to take it away as a sick joke.

As he spoke about needing gear, she nodded quickly. "Yeah, I will need to find something other then these rags to wear I'm sure... Do you know a good place here to get a bow? If I'm going to be of any help I could use something I am familiar with." Taking a piece of dried fruit, she nibbled on it slowly, savoring it. It might not be the most savory dish, but to someone used to eating stale bread and halfway rotten foods, it tasted rather divine. When she finished that piece, she popped one more small piece into her mouth before adjusting herself and slowly undid the belt that held the sword in place and handed it to Malkus.

"I'm honestly surprised it was of any use last night," she muttered quietly. How she managed to escape the man last night was beyond her, all she knew is that she didn't want to be captured again, not after risking so much to get free. Sighing, she looked to Malkus again and nodded at his words about the guard. "I'll do my best to stay out of trouble. Where will we meet?"

Conquest of Caldaria

Amelia groaned as she lay in bed, contemplating if she really wanted to leave the bed. It might not have been the best, but to her it was heaven compared to what she was used to. And it was warm, the room still felt cold, she could feel it on the tip of her nose. But when she turned her head, she saw the small pouch of coin she was given last night.
"You promised," she whispered, then forced herself from the bed and dressed herself in the same things she had before. She did take the time to untangle her hair some and brush out what she could before braiding it down her back, but otherwise she looked the same disheveled and unsure woman she was before.
Gathering up the few possessions she had, she went downstairs to grab a drink at least, deciding to save a much coin as she could for equipment for her new adventure. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she had seen the back of Bagai just disappear through the door, and spotted Malkus on his own eating.
Giving him a quick nod of greeting, she moved to the bar and grabbed a drink, something to help warm her up a bit, before making her way to Malkus.

"M-may I?" she asked, a little timidly, gripping the mug of warm cider in both her hands and keeping it close to her chest. It was almost child-like in how she stood there, head down but looking to Malkus through her lashes, her shoulders slunched forward as if she was trying to wrap them around her and appear as small as possible.

Conquest of Caldaria

She remained quiet as he spoke, occasionally her eyes would glance up to him before dropping to her hands in her lap again. Clearly there were a lot of habits she would have to break from the past years of captivity. "Sounds familiar, it's possible I've passed through there once before but I can't be sure."

Amelia gave a small shrug of her shoulders before answering him in return. "I'm from Khergit myself, pretty quiet life for the most part just moving here and there. I had this beautiful horse, too, but I don't know if she is still around anymore.." There was a sadness on her face as she spoke, and an almost far off look in her eyes as she remembered her life. "Anyways.. I am not sure what I will do with my life, but for now I will help Bagai and his brother, I just hope I will not be of any hinderance. I'm not a warrior, nor skilled in fighting much."

Getting up from her seat, she gave Malkus a small nod of her head. "I'm going to get some rest so I can be up early enough and find some stuff I need before we leave. It.. It was nice to speak with you." She turned from him so she could find her room.

Once there she stripped off the outermost layer of clothing and kicked off her boots. Looking down at herself, she winced at her appearance. Bruises in varying stages of healing covered parts of her, minor cuts here and there. But for the most part she was just sore and tired. She crawled into the bed and curled up under the blanket. It took some time before she could fall asleep from not having had a decent bed in so long to herself, but exhaustion won and pulled her into a dreamless sleep for the night.

Conquest of Caldaria

"Malkus?" she repeated, raising a brow. "Much easier to pronounce at least," the woman admitted with a shrug of her shoulder. But she stiffened up a little when he questioned about her capture. Was it that obvious?

Amelia's gaze darted about the room real quick, as if double checking to make sure they were the only ones there. Pulling herself up into a seat, but still keep one between them, she shook her head. "I honestly don't remember who took me in the first place, it's been years. I think. I've lost track of time after so long counting." She paused a moment, folding her hands together while stroking the back of her thumb with the other. "I know I made it to Vaegir days ago, that's where me and some others managed to escape but I ran... and now I am here."

Amelia looked over to him, looking him over real quick herself. "Where is it you come from?"

Conquest of Caldaria

Sorry for no response lately. Between work running me ragged and now spending the last 3 days sick I've had less than a brain cell to do much let alone write any coherent things. But, getting one out now!

Conquest of Caldaria

Amelia kept to herself most of the night, the only interaction she really had was if she needed refills on her drink. Otherwise she just observed everyone, being extra cautious if others got too close or too rowdy. Still, it was a nice change of pace compared to the last few days, and knowing she would have a bed to sleep in for once seemed to put her at ease, for the time being anyways.

When she noticed Malakaus finally, she pondered if she should introduce herself. They would be working together, but he seemed relatively content keeping to himself. Once the crowds cleared out a bit more, Amelia finished off her last drink and cleaned off her plate before getting to her feet. From there, she slowly closed the distance between herself and Malakaus and bowed her head to him. "We never get to properly greet... My name is Amelia."

Conquest of Caldaria

Amelia let the bag of coin sit on the table between then, hesitant to take it. When it came to matter of exchanging money, she was used to other services needing rendered first, and never once did she see that coin. A shaky hand finally came forth and clutched the bag, lifting it from the table and tucking it away. Getting up, she bowed her head a little towards Bagai. "Thank you, sir," she said softly.

As she turned to leave, she only paused long enough to glance up at the orc, Malakaus he was called, nodded her head and left. A little ways down from the room, she stopped and looked down at the pouch of coin on her. What on earth had she just gotten herself into?! It would be foolish to run, and she had done enough of that as is. But to find someone she didn't even know, and fight off who knows how many people to do so... A heavy sigh left her as she trudged back out to the main room of the inn where there was still plenty of merriment happening and drinks to be had. Here she would secure a room for the night and get a little bit more food and drink for herself, taking the plate and tucking herself away into a less occupied corner, watching the room with wary eyes.

Conquest of Caldaria

Amelia followed silently, but looked around the inn as she followed. Looking for all exits, quick escapes.... She was still unsure of this man and his intentions, she wanted to be sure she could leave as quickly as possible if needed. She was rather hesitant to enter the room, her steps faltering at the threshold, but a quick glance to the orc with them, she walked inside, making a mental note where she placed her knife so she could grab it.

Sitting down, she would listen to Bagai, thanking him as he offered the bread and ate it while he spoke. It might not have been much, but it was food, and much better than the rations she had been eating for days now. If not for the story she was being told, she might have started crying. but she remained relatively stoic, only nodding when appropriate in breaks of speech. When he was finished, Amelia swallowed hard, unsure how to answer.

Sucking in her bottom lip, she looked to the table between them and rolled over his words. A small sigh finally escaped past her lips. "I'm much better with a bow, if I'm honest," she replied with a small shrug of her shoulder. "As for not giving in to the cowardice of that man, well I have many reasons but I have certainly come too far to be put down by the likes of him." Gaining a little courage, she looked back to Bagai. "I wish to help, I know how painful it can be to be torn from family and loved ones.." There was a pause, almost like she might decline the offer. Would she really be of any help in this matter? And she still needed to recover from even getting here.

"I will help, but I hate to admit I will need sleep and rest before I can venture on much more myself.. It... It has been a few long days on foot."
