[D&D 3.5] Nightfiend's Zest / Re: Chapter 1 - Out of the Dark

Zella glares at Macabra. Wasting breath on responding to her would not be worth the half-kermohryg's time.

She turns her glare toward Noto, then leans in to him before whispering, "Your grasp of diplomacy and strategy is thin, I see. I ask that you heed my claim that all shall get what they want, including you. Test my patience and that may cease to be the case, however."

Leaning back, her already narrow eyes shrink to discerning slits, then relax to their normal state.

"Now, Noto, if you would be so kind as to share some knowledge with us, we can proceed. Unless you've got a counter proposal."

"You seem a discerning lot. While we could offer coin or trinkets, I believe we have something of far greater value. A rare delicacy, difficult to obtain in these lands. We can offer, hmm... 2 full pounds of fresh, strawberry jam. A divinely sweet treasure fit for any divine host, but offered only to your's."

Zella keeps her eyes trained on the lead harpy. She dare not glimpse Macabra's face, knowing her response will not be pleasant. It would be worth it not to have to treat the wounds left over from fighting a band of warrior harpies, however.

Zella steps up, offering a placating gesture as she does.

"Great harpies, we surely don't intend to intrude unduly. We're here for information the blind man has, as well as an item he is said to carry. If you allow us to question the man, and obtain this item, you'll not have to worry about us. Everyone will get what they want, in the end. Certainly, acquiescing to this request costs you nothing. Though, if you don't mind my asking, why is the blind one 'vile in the eye of your patron' so to speak?"

Calder accepts the healing gratefully. It seems that his body had yet to fully finish settling, as the quick-healing he had through the battle has stopped working. His body also feels less resilient, and yet more receptive to tactics and modern, civilized warfare and tools.

Plus, he didn't feel nearly as hungry.

As word of a new threat emerges, the giant goes back to the mobile armory and grabs more gear to outfit himself for the battle to come.

As the offer of prayer and a blessing is presented, Calder is hesitant. However, once the singing begins, his mind is put more at ease. Song is apparently a part of who he is, and he kneels to accept the blessing. It felt right.

Epithumias... Zella had never been here, to her recollection, though she tended not to keep track of her own comings and goings very well. Something deep within her felt comfortable here, though. A chaotic city where might makes right, and right is wrong; it appeases both the kermohryg and shadow dragon sides of her heritage in different ways. Unlike some of her family, who don't bear the strong gift of her draconic blood, she isn't burdened by a desire for status and recognition of their pedigree. Her's is written on her face, after all, and besides it is often more useful to go unnoticed.

"Ah, Epithumias. I think I like it here."

As Macabra's jam pot is knocked to the ground, she lets out a *tsk*.

"Well, it's a got a bit of grime in it now, but you could still scrape up the good stuff. No sense letting it go to waste, just pick out the shards."

Zella smirks, then responds to Macabra.

"I made no such promise, but I don't care. As far as I'm concerned you're welcome to the marmalade. These other items are of more interest to me."

Zella looks over the goods, unsure of their exact worth but knowing that coin is always useful, while trade goods can carry their own value. The other items are shiny playthings.

With one of the gnolls now within striking distance and already badly wounded, a grin spreads on Zella's face.

She charges the gnoll, exchanging the bow for her greatsword and advancing with heedless abandon as she slashes down on the injured enemy with a crackling strike.

Heedless charge w/ power attack for -5 (+2 attack, -7 to Zella's AC)

Damage 3d6+19 : 4, 1, 5 + 19, total 29

No more blitz damage since the gnoll's not flat footed.

Zella smirks.

"My pleasure."

She pulls out her longbow as she ventures closer to the gnolls. With a minor effort of will, she transitions to a different aura, with electricity now crackling through the party's weapons.

Zella looses her electrically-charged arrow, aiming for one of the gnolls to the south.

Zella slowly moves ahead through the grasses and shoots another projectile of coalesced darkness at same gnoll that Shinko aims for, just south of the campfire. However, the bolt of shadows goes wide, missing its mark.

Zella shakes her head.

'Save your magic, we still have a significant journey ahead of us and we don't know what else hides along the way. We will strike this pitiful creature and lure the enemy here. Then we can deal with the gnolls.'

She picks out the spot where the large hyena is stalking, and gathers up a beam of nearly insubstantial shadow and fires it at the beast.

Zella nods, but doesn't yet move.

'We should draw it closer to us instead. We have a unique tool of our heritage to grab its attention, then meet it in battle once we've initiated a surprise wound. The others can continue approaching by way of stealth and attack the gnolls while their attention is fixed on us. Your assessment?'
