Shanna scowled. "Fuck you and your completely reasonable protests," she grumbled. Because, of course, Cyprus was right. There was a reason why the rise of a new Sorcerer-King was not a common, or even plausible affair.<br/><br/>"But don't think I've no brains. I'm plenty clever when I need to figure out how to get a blade between someone's ribs. I just don't have the head for this whole politics, pulling the strings of the masses thing," she said, getting out of the tub to dry herself and displaying to Cyprus the distracting sight of water running down her flared hips and bare rump in rivulets and glittering drops, before the linen towel removed them. "That's what I'm keeping you around for," she added with an irreverent grin.<br/><br/>And when he asked where she was to sleep, she burst into good-natured laughter. "Come on now, Cyprus. Do you take me for some harem girl, who would be troubled in her sleep by a pea under the bedclothes? I've slept on many a caravan floor or barren rock before I came to this city. I don't need that bed, even though I appreciate the luxury."<br/><br/>She pulled on her white thong again, cleared off the wreckage of the pulverized bed, swept the splinters into a corner, then spread out her blanket on the ground before lying down and arranging herself on the makeshift sheets with a smug, shit-eating grin on her face that showed she knew full well he was appreciating the view. Shanna draped her cape over her bare hips as a makeshift blanket, and settled down to sleep. "Good night, Cyprus. Tomorrow, you're on your first step towards becoming a proper god once again."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Character Sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Shanna (https://orcpub2.com/pages/dnd/5e/characters/17592239534284)</span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Female Human Fighter 1</span><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">STR</span></td><td>    </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">DEX</span></td><td>    </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">CON</span></td><td>    </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">INT</span></td><td>    </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">WIS</span></td><td>    </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">CHA</span></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center">16</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">14</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">14</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">10</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">11</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">14</div></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Proficiency Bonus</strong></span></div></td><td>        </td><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Armor Class</strong></span></div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center">+2</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">18</div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Passive Perception</strong></span></div></td><td>        </td><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Max HP</strong></span></div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center">12</div></td><td></td><td><div align="center">12</div></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Proficiencies</strong></span></td><td></td><td></td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Saving </strong></span></td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Throws</strong></span></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Acrobatics</strong></td><td><strong>  +4</strong></td><td>        </td><td><div align="center"><strong>STR</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>+5</strong></div></td></tr><tr><td>Animal Handling</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td><td><div align="center">DEX</div></td><td><div align="center">+2</div></td></tr><tr><td>Arcana</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td><td><div align="center"><strong>CON</strong></div></td><td><div align="center"><strong>+4</strong></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Athletics</strong></td><td><strong>  +5</strong></td><td>        </td><td><div align="center">INT</div></td><td><div align="center">+0</div></td></tr><tr><td>Deception</td><td>  +2</td><td>        </td><td><div align="center">WIS</div></td><td><div align="center">+0</div></td></tr><tr><td>History</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td><td><div align="center">CHA</div></td><td><div align="center">+2</div></td></tr><tr><td>Insight</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Intimidation</strong></td><td><strong>  +4</strong></td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Investigation</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Medicine</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Nature</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Perception</strong></td><td><strong>  +2</strong></td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Performance</td><td>  +2</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Persuasion</td><td>  +2</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Religion</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Sleight of Hand</td><td>  +2</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Stealth</td><td>  +2</td><td>        </td></tr><tr><td>Survival</td><td>  0</td><td>        </td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>
