A language barrier! Sorry guys, but it seems as if William shouldn't be able to understand most of the party.
He speaks Zherisian (Native), Mordentish, and Halfling.
So...
I assume I have been speaking in Mordentish for the most part since some of you understand it. S'pose I will be putting some points into Darkonese once we level :lol:
Make it Mordentish, Darkonese, Zherisian then.

Van identifies the magic item ( I think it's the buckler) we get from the werewolves the next day.

Hi, I'm back today. Sorry for being absent for so long.

Still, for the future, I'd like to say that I'm wearing my armour during the day. I don't sleep with it, but with a common day start, I have some time to put it on.

Perhaps on occasion I will say I remove it.

Oh, regarding the ravens? Clearly Ravenkin to me, possibly members of the Keepers of the Black Feather.

Van has gotten the bracers of armor and Draven the ring of invisibility. Van has gotten the bracers of armore because his AC was very low.

Thanks Van,

I posted that before I had time to catch up with the threads. It all became clear after that, and what was meant by Group Treasure. I have no problems with the way the items were divided.

By the way, since we're keeping Josefina in her human form and she can't transform of her own will anyway, wouldn't it be wise to let her have the banded mail and the shortsword? Just a thought, I know we all fear her, but...

In regards to experience

Post by Ail »

Just to be clear about the experience, we have had 1500xp from the first encounter and 850xp from the second one, right? For each one of us?

Good to see you back Dude! :D

Draven has indeed got the ring of invisibility (cos its Kewl, and helps him being a sneaky sod) , however if Lucius is very keen on it Im sure an "arrangement" can be made, in fact that might be worth rping anyway. Post in the main thread if you fancy it! :wink:

No worries from me personally OOC about the short sword, however Lucius and the others will have to do some pretty good persuading on Draven, Tarlyn and William I reckon to get them to agree to arm her....

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to the latest member of our little group:

Josephine 'Sefi' Lerbin

http://www.campaign-blog.com/view.php?id=6295

Appearance:

Most of the time, Josephine Lerbin appears to be a slightly disheveled looking young woman of twenty four. She’s a bit short for a Kartakan, with a muscular, compact build and long brown hair falling well past her shoulders. Striking blue-violet eyes look out from a strong-featured, slightly masculine face, occasionally obscured by a stray lock of hair. Josephine wears a blouse-like shirt and trousers of brown and yellow cloth, with a more colorful blue and yellow embroidered vest for festive occasions. Her voice is a smooth alto, with a strangely wistful quality to it.

Of course, a fair amount of the time, Josephine looks rather different. In her hybrid form, she is some seven feet tall, her muscular, half-canine body covered with short, silky black fur. In animal form, she is some five feet long, not counting a black tail, and stands three feet at the shoulder. In all forms, Josephine moves with a careful, fluid grace, walking silently through the brush.

Background:

Josephine Lerbin was born twenty four years ago, the daughter of a lumberjack in Kartakass and the camp cook. She grew up a self-assured young woman in that rough, frontier society, quick on her feet and with a lightning temper if provoked. She became a skilled hunter, and fearless as well, protected by the ‘logger’s luck’ that kept the Narrulve away. “Sefi”, as she became known, was the logging camp pet, everyone’s favorite and a full member in her own right, hunting for the cooking stew.

This all changed not long after Sefi’s twentieth birthday, right as she became engaged with one of the younger loggers, a man named Mikal Glaven. As Josephine was hunting in the woods on autumn day, she was attacked by a large wolf-like creature pursuing a deer, savaging her and biting her arm before disappearing back into the underbrush. Sefi bandaged her wounds and thought no more of it, until a few days later when a distant howl triggered her first transformation.

It turned out that Sefi’s progenitor was one of the Howling Clan of Mother Fury, and against them, the logger’s luck was of no use. The werewolf was a cult member on a run through the woods, and the attack was an accident, but that left Mother Fury in a bind. Still, the Wolf God had bestowed the blessings of lycanthropy on this girl, then a member of the Clan she would be.

The Howling Clan collected Josephine, and over the next few days, slew her parents, her fiancé, and a few others from the logging camp where she lived. Since then, Sefi has lived in a half-daze, frequent transformations and the constant, pervasive influence of Mother Fury turning the last four years into a kind of fog, interspersed with brief bouts of rage and pain.

Current Sketch

Now that she’s out from under the direct control of Mother Fury, Sefi’s core personality of a self-assured, somewhat willful young woman is beginning to surface. Years as a werewolf have, however, caused some of the lycanthropic traits to bleed into her, something that will only get worse as Sefi comes to terms and learns to control her powers.

At the moment, Josephine is interested primarily in one thing, revenge against Mother Fury. She’s not really looking past that goal at the moment, although perhaps once she’s avenged herself on the Howling Clan, Sefi can start trying to piece together the shattered fragments of her life. Those who knew her before her transformations consider her long dead, and her family and friends are slain. Josephine is adrift, but for the moment, she has a goal. Beyond that, Sefi’s personality was considerably fractured by her experiences, and have left a hard core of cynicism to the young woman, and combined with her inherent pragmatism, Sefi will make her way in the world, one way or another.

Sorry but I don't agree, she is a werewolf and despite we have said that we will help her find a cure, I don't think we can trust her. She said that she cannot transform when she wants, but we don't know if that is true. She is evil and the werewolves use to attack the people who love most.
I don't think she actually love us, but you get my point.

I think she can defend herself pretty well and giving her armour and weapon will make her more powerful and yes together we can defeat her easily, but what if she manages to bite one of us? Or if she changes her mind, flee and go to betray us?

We get her with us but that doesn't mean we should trust her very much. This is only my opinion of course.
