Kintobor

Minstrel is definitely in Karie's future. It's now just a decision between being a Witch or being a Sorcerer before going Minstrel. The childishness clashing with Nessa's arrogance is really proving to be fun. As for back at the market, yeah you'd of believed it too. Karie has a way to get what she wants, and I think it has to do with her personality. I really think two key individuals help shape Karie: Sally Bowles (from Cabaret), and Haruhi Suzumiya (from, well, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). As to what I plucked off of each character and how, I'm not telling.

Karie tapped the table she was leaning on and smiled. "Thanks, I most certainly will! And good luck to you sir, I pray you find better work else where!" She left the table and walked back to the group, ensuring that VInny couldn't see her or the party. She let out a deep sigh. It had been a while since one of her rouse's worked so well, and she forgot how tense she got while doing it. "Alright, I know where we're going. When you guys are ready, we're heading to the "CIty of Silver" Bank. Just give me the word and we'll get out of here."

I'm curious as to how Karie's being perceived by others. As well, I'm wondering if people like the interludes, especially the pseudo- flashback while trying to look for the theater. Do they make sense, or should I try something different?

Well this got incredibly violent incredibly quickly. For a guy who comes off as no less than a really troubled peeping tom, you guys really seem to want to murder this guy in the most violent means necessary.

Instantly recognizable! Although I do believe Raph wasn't in that scene, only Donnie and Mikey. Oh well, still very cool!

Karie nodded her head in agreement. "Of course, that makes total sense. I just so happen to be a Mercuito worshipper myself. It may not look like it, but I have a profession myself, if you know what I mean." She seductively leans on the table, no longer whispering, twirling one of her fingers around the table, smiling innocently. "Can you tell me who you heard this from? I want to be sure I can pass this info to my mother, and knowing her, she doesn't believe anything I tell her unless she knows exactly who it came from." She says innocently. "Of course, I'm willing to pay for this info."

OOC: Fixed!

Karie felt a sense of genuine sadness for the poor lad. She had seen her own fair share of running off. "That's a shame. Perhaps before you leave you could assist me? I've heard a lot of talk about the Church in the area. They must hold a lot of power. What religion does the church preach?" Her voice has a hint of melancholy. Her posture is less rigid, as she crosses her arms. She looks about cautiously, and leans in closer, so only the two of them can hear. "I've also heard that your the go to guy for gossip. What's juicy right now in terms of whats going on in Brendenton?" She whispers.

OOC: I realized that originally, and forgot to put it in. Thank you once again!

OOC: Well, it was to be expected, my first round of combat and all. Thank you, PsyKater, you've been a great help!

"She's a loan shark." Karie snickered in the back. She than moved to Vinny's stall. After looking at the man, she felt a little on edge. She looked pale as a choice, Vinny looked as if he would keel over at any minute. "So Vinny, it is Vinny right? How's it going? I'm more than curious as to how business is going. My mother used to work on fine silks and such, shame I never got into the trade."

Round 1 Against the "Creature" in the Well Zoltan v. Angry Arachnid: Critical Hit (WP:3x 2+ Level 1= 7) >Amma v. Dire Rat B: Damage (4 Damage) >Jeaux v. Dire Rat A: Shield (Dire Rat A, Illuminating Widow A, Dire Rat B) (WP:6 +4= 10) >Em v. Illuminating Widow B: Critical Hit (WP:6x 2+ Level 3= 15) >Heckz v. Illuminating Widow A: Critical Hit (WP:3x 2+ Level 1= 7x2= 14) The Party starts their battle off with a surprisingly good round. Zoltan goes in to attack the Angry Arachnid, dealing an excellent hit. Amma attempts to hit the Dire Rat A but is in turn bitten by it. Jeaux fires three arrows off into the fray, successfully wounding many enemies. Em successfully attacks the Illuminating Widow B, pinning it down. Heckz manages to cast a powerful ice spell from the back row at the Illuminating Widow A, turning it into a spider-cicle. "Squeaky squeak!" ("Come comrades, we will dine tonight!")

EDIT: Fixed Eric- Su's stats, back row status and general mistakes involving damage given and taken.

Question still applies. And the other half? Or do you want to keep that as a secret?

And the other half?

OOC: emjajoas, there are 2 Illuminating Widows, you're going to have to specify which one you'd like to attack.

Karie took the map off of Nessa as she shoved it in her face. She folded it up hastily and put it back in her pouch. "If you're looking to be a wise alec, your doing a damn fine job! Kudos to you! Now if you would allow me to do my job, perhaps we could make it to the cloth market before one of us dies of old age!" Whatever Nessa's problem was, she needed to deal with it, and deal with it now. She was getting infuriated by Nessa's cockiness, partially due to it almost exceeding her own. Key word being almost. Karie grabbed Drake by the collar, and dragged him out of the bar, struggling slightly due to his hefty armor. "Alright crew, lets get out of this inn and get to the market!"

"Okay, that's helpful. Now where are we on this map? We should head to the cloth market first, but if another area is closer, we could swing by there just to scout the area out."

OOC: The potion cost 5 coins, not 10. Thanks for catching that!

Well, it's not like he'll ever be on one of my other quests... Oh, wait, yes he will! If you want an NPC to get a little too close to Karie, be my guest. Just don't get too attached to them.

...Maybe...

Just remember that I just so happen to be a QM as well. "And as the party walks into the forest a tree falls over and crushes Sylph Solanum, turning him into a paste-like substance akin to strawberry jam. You are dead. You are deader than dead. You are now a splotch on the ground, and when people go by that spot they chuckle to themselves and say: "This is where that druid got crushed by a tree. Oh, the irony!""

OOC: Thank you PsyKater. emjajoas, can you please fix your power level on the hero statistics forum, it's currently at six. As well, you may notice before the first round the enemies stats may have jumped a little. It's just me trying to figure things out. Where they are now is where their going to stay. This fight should hopefully be a decent challenge. If not, I can fine tune the next set of enemies.

Jeaux relays the message down the well. "Well done..." The voice says. A loud rumbling noise emits from the well, as Jeaux steps back. Bursting out of the well, an assortment of large vermin pour out of the dark hole. "Squeak squee!" ("My kin have had enough of riddles. Now we are hungry... for you!") PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!
