You could at least use that scroll of sleep so he does not feel it. To Keith she says You will be with Sam soon. And trust that He Who Judges does not do so like mortals but does so fairly and without prejudice. Nerwen v. Keith - sword

So you did. I apologise. So Mistress Berthadhiell, what is it to be? Follow the compass or the fairy?

Do you have a read on the compass Matthias? It is a shame you did not speak up earlier.

Raising her sword again, Nerwen asks over her shoulder. Have you had any success yet Alexis? Nerwen v. Keith - sword

Argh! Sorry everyone! Nerwen continues fighting Keith Nerwen v. Keith - sword

The sooner you try, the sooner we can cease this distasteful fight.

Nerwen steps forward again, sword at the ready. Good blow. My turn. Nerwen v. Keith - sword

If Master Avertine's plan involves necromancy, I want no part of it. Alexis, try your compass, but I would be very surprised if it worked, magic can conceal things and if Chauncey does not know enough to fox a compass, he is no great threat and we can go take Avertine back and sort this out. Otherwise... Nerwen v. Keith - sword

We were hired to protect Avertine until the seventh day. We have been doing an excellent job of that given he was kidnapped and we have not seen him since. If anyone has a workable plan for finding him without the fairy's help, I would be happy to hear it. But unless these two also swear to dig up every body they buried out here and so disarm the trap that is laid, then they suffer for their foolish ignorance in taking such a task,

Nerwen watches her party leader. Since it appeared battle was immanent, she drew her sword.

Have you ever heard of a group calling themselves the Cold Circle?

I've never understood why, in a setting where magic exists and necromancy is possible, cremation is not the standard method of dealing with dead bodies...

So you are working for a Nercomancer? They are usually the only ones who have interest in the location of dead bodies. Or perhaps for someone else walking the left hand path and gathering power from unwise places?

Nerwen shrugs and joins the others.

Nerwen speaks gently to Pigley. <You are right. We cannot infer that M is bad because his employer had ours kidnapped. But equally we cannot infer M's employer is good just because we like him. However, it is right that we are wary about M. He deceived us. Twice. Even if we like the characters he played, not all of his actions have been good, he is not unreservedly a good guy. But let us rest up. It may be that there is no good choice between the two of them and we must choose the lesser evil.>

After some quiet conversation at the bar to catch up on local gossip, Nerwen steps back to the group. I am ready to retire, to see tomorrow what may be seen.

Nerwen shrugs. Perhaps something stronger than tea.

Nerwen smiles wryly in Matthias' direction. <This trip has been one dubious choice after another. Why should this be different. Besides, Lady Berthadhiell will spring the trap for us, then we will know what the real deal is.>

Nerwen shook her head sadly again The Chaos in Valentine was weakened but not defeated. If it survives, countless innocents will curse your name and bemoan your stupidity. And if it comes for you, well, as you say, our paths will not cross again, and you will face it alone.

Nerwen stopped dead and turned around to face the elven Mage. She spat a long string of elvish which was plainly cursing even to those with no skill in the tongue. The magic inherent in the Sylvania's cowl that she forgot she still wore flawlessly translated her words into crab and pig also, leaving Sir Pigley pale and Ruffers shaken by the language Nerwen had chosen to employ. Nerwen drew breath and spoke in common. What kind of stupidity is this? Saying you intended to give him a chance to survive? Do you lack the heart to know your own will or the stones to carry it out? Would you happily have a half-burnt raving chaomancer following, looking for an answer as to why, having pleaded for release from his affliction, you settled for merely charing his flesh? Short of your pyromania cleansing his soul,which would indeed be miraculous, survival is in no way a mercy for him. The two options before us were to attempt to redeem him and heal himfrom the black corruption which had affixed itself to his essence, or to kill him cleanly, giving the taint no further opportunity for corruption. What you have done, taking neither, but half-arsedly roasting him is not mercy but rank cowardice of the basest sort. As for bringing up the bridge, my concience is clean on that score, I stood to prevent the kingdoms, flawed as they are, from burning. Make no mistake, if the orcs had crossed, the visions Valentine was speaking of would fade into insignificance beside what they would have unleashed. And know that I remember each Oshuultar and Dryuultar, what happened on the bridge was no light thing to be dismissed as 'those killings'. Nerwen blinks slowly. Seeing their companions looking shaken, she speaks quietly. <My apologies for intemperate words. I had not meant to make a public display.>

Nerwen, speaking to Malty, shook her head sadly. I have seen such before,p. It is never pleasant. I scan tell you the story of Harnram in exchange for your story. Nerwen munches on her zoot cookie feeling her etherial energy grow.

Nerwen, having thought to herself, for what felt like only a moment, on how best to proceed, opens her mouth to speak and finds she is too late. Purpearl had already taken decisive action. She turns away, bowing her head.

Nerwen raises her shield. Behind me. That thing will not last long. It can batter itself against my shield. suggested battle order > Nerwen does nothing Everyone else does nothing Free hit on Nerwen does 4 damage Beast takes 70. Three rounds later, battle win.

Nerwen steps forward, sword ready. Matthias! Seraphiel guards us. Pile in. Nerwen v. MCB -sword

I am glad these are so poorly created, facing them and not having them fall apart would have been a challange Alexis. Nerwen v. Master Chaos Beast -sword
