I wasn't sure because I was looking at the description in the Marketplace: Bedroll (Allows the user to rest and regain health and ether in a safe place.) I guess we aren't really sleeping in a safe place out in the open so thanks for clarifying!

OOC: Welcome! My ether should be 16 (5+11) and Russell and Pigley should have 1 venom. Lastly, shouldn't our health and ether be back to full after resting on bedrolls? Purpearl approaches the bartender, feeling thirsty. "Water please." Purpearl wanders towards the woman playing the accordion. While enjoying the music from a short distance away, she notices the heavily bandaged woman and approaches her. "Good day, what are you reading?"

Purpearl rolls out her bedroll, and turns to XX, "Never forget Aventine. He's our benefactor and the reason we're here. Get some rest, the journey ahead of us will be harder as we get closer to the seventh. I'll tend the fire."

Purpearl helps Matthias up and says, " To the inn it is."

"There's always someone in The Marketplace who will be interested. Well done everyone." Loot Distribution Alexis - Magnar's Smaller Axe Matthias - Magnar's Unreasonably Cruel Axe Nerwen - Nordic Stomach Guard "R'kilf sounds like a good idea. Before we make haste, should we make sure there's nothing in Lord Chauncey's Mansion that we'll possibly miss?"

"There's no time like the present." Purpearl repeats her attack. Battle Order >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Darkness >Matthias - Fireball Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Nerwen - Sword of the Warrior of the Light XX - Dangerous Dagger Alexis - Steel Fan

Purpearl repeats her attack from the back, determined to land a hit this time round. Battle Order >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Darkness >Matthias - Fireball Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Nerwen - Phoenix Essence on XX XX - Dangerous Dagger Alexis - Steel Fan

Stroking her chin on purpose, "Helvetia. I can see why it isn't Thoric." Purpearl signals everyone forward. Battle Order >Purpearl - Magical Staff Darkness >Matthias - Fireball Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Nerwen - Sword of the Warrior of the Light XX - Dangerous Dagger Alexis - Steel Fan

"Heh. Liar. You took Aventine with you and handed him to Lord Chauncey. Hence, you were there when Lord Chauncey gave further instructions, so you should have at least some idea which general direction he's heading towards. Unless, of course, you are nothing more than a pawn, a pawn that follows orders blindly. What a pity, such a strong warrior like yourself, you should be indispensible to the whole operation. Not someone else's guard dog. Now that your very own pet Evel is no more, someone needs to replace him as the Fairy's new best friend. Perhaps you should rename yourself Magnar Maggot Maddog. Woof. Woof." Battle Order >Purpearl - Scroll of Sealing >Matthias - Grand Potion Russel & Sir Pigley >Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator? Nerwen - Mourning Star Alexis - Steel Fan >XX - XX Handcannon? >Russel & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator?

Purpearl positions herself defensively in front of Matthias, Russell and Sir Pigley, as she tries to protect them from further harm.

If Matthias get to go first, he would also risk getting hurt if Russell/Pigley rolls a Special at the end of the BO. If Nerwen attacks, I would shift Matthias right under Purpearl, if not Matthias would be under Nerwen.

OOC:Just checked Rules and FAQ. Will edit my post accordingly.

IIRC, Magnar can't physically attack anyone for 3 rounds, (i.e. Damage, Specials, Free Hits) since he's blinded.

Turning to Russell and Sir Pigley, "Your wounds look pretty bad, if I were you, I would slow down for a while (i.e. do nothing or act once). But you are free to act as you see fit." "Go for it, XX. Try not to blow his head off, he might know something... about Aventine." Purpearl turns her head and gives the Nord a dirty look. "Where's Aventine, Magnar Maggot?" Battle Order >Purpearl - Scroll of Sealing >Matthias - Does Nothing >Russell & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator? Nerwen - Mourning Star Alexis - Steel Fan >XX - XX Hand Cannon >Russell & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator?

Purpearl pulls out a scroll. Turning to XX and Russell and Sir Pigley, she nods gently. "We're close." Battle Order >Purpearl - Scroll of Weakening >Matthias >Russell & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator Nerwen Alexis >XX - Dangerous Dagger >Russell & Sir Pigley - Crabspirator

Purpearl turns to Matthias and Alexis, "Whatever it is, let's investigate.." Purpearl tries to make sense of the voices coming out of the room.

Purpearl simply ignores Nerwen and her act of holiness.

No, it was Purpearl that brought about the battle. Friendships will have its ups and downs, I don't know how this will play out but we'll see!

Promises makes debts, debts make promises... Purpearl pockets the venom as she enters the tunnel. She pulls out her wand, and attempts to light the tunnel with an ember glowing at its tip.

"It was a vote, but we're being put in a spot after we've made that decision." Purpearl shrugs. "But that's not the reason why I have decided to attack the Snake!. If one could line up the sequence of events, from the moment we met Sir Peter up until now, it comes down to fundamental principles: The party has already made the decision and a promise to assist Sir Peter the moment we followed him. Whether consciously or not, whether we like it or not, we've entered that contract with Sir Peter. We knew what we were dealing with, and we went with it, therefore, we as a party, has agreed to violence (aka kill the Snake!) through our actions (I.e. following Sir Peter). We negotiated with the Snake!, but the party did not set foot into the tunnel, so we did not enter any agreement with the Snake!. Hence our very first agreement with Sir Peter still very much holds its place." Purpearl swings the Magical Staff at the Snake!, attempting to cast an ice spell at it from the back row. Turning to XX and Russell and Sir Pigley, "You are free to act however you like. But if you do, XX, use of Dangerous Dagger would be much appreciated." Battle Order Nerwen Alexis Purpearl Matthias Russell and Sir Pigley XX

Purpearl takes a heavy step towards the snake, attempting to agitate the snake by hurling soil at it. "Hey, there little creature, I know you don't understand me, but we come in peace." She takes another heavy step towards the snake, hurling soil at it again. "We don't wish to harm anyone, but we need to enter the tunnel right now." Coming to a sudden stop, she jams her foot into the soil for one last time, hurling large amounts of soil at it. She pulls out her wand and swings several ice crystals past the snake. "It's pretty chilly out here, is it not? Would really appreciate you let us pass before it gets really cold. Then you have to forgive us for barging in." Purpearl pretends to shiver. "Now you leave me no choice, snake." Purpearl prepares to attack the snake!

Careful, Zeph, that thing is now dangerously, game-breakingly overpowered through min-maxing! Awkward!

"Heh. That's not surprising, but a team isn't made out of one." Purpearl winks. "Conditions after conditions. That's a nice preview of who we're dealing with." Purpearl folds her arms in annoyance, and continues. "You know, we can always kill it and then convince ourselves that the snake tried to attack us first. It's all subjective. I find the snake's constant hissing a threat to my own personal safety, is it justifiable for me to adopt preemptive measures and attack it in the name of self defence?"

"Alright then, the party has spoken, Alexis, Matthias and Nerwen will proceed into the tunnel while I remain out here to deal with the snake. I'll play catch up later." "I'm joking." Kneeling down beside Matthias, Purpearl gently pats his back, "It certainly weighs on me that I've to disappoint Sir Peter, but such is life." Standing up, "Now will someone do the honours and break the good news to the snake?"

Purpearl whispers back, at the same time giving him some encouragement, "C'mon Matthias, make it count. Tell you what, we'll fight the snake if you say so and take the tunnel by force. If not, we'll enter the tunnel peacefully."
