"Wait, it's that simple?! I just kill them and that's it?" Shanna stood up, very quickly, in her bath. This not only sprinkled half the room with water, but also left her covered in steamy water from the knee down, and covered in a whole lot of nothing from the knee up, baring a lewd display of slick, wet, glistening skin all the way from the valley of her breasts to her bare snatch, from flared hips to naked thighs and beyond. "Dragon's dung. I'm starting to like you, Cyprus. You truly know the way to a warrior's heart."<br/><br/>She carefully (not to spill any more of the precious water) sat back down in her bath, and preened like a smug lioness gloating over a particularly delightful kill, closing her eyes as she relaxed once more. "Thank you. I find that men tend to be surprised when I can swear as well as they do. ...Just like they tend to be surprised when I can fight as well as they do. I do behave myself for private performances before the nobility. And before you get your mind dirty, O Holiness, I mean duels. Watching me slay a tiger is a night's entertainment when the Sorcerer-King has guests."<br/><br/>She opened one sleepy eye to look at the little splash in the bath that appeared with no warning. "Oh, don't worry. A benevolent and compassionate dictator I will be, Shanna the Sorcerer-Queen." The gladiatrix put one hand on her chest, above her breasts and waved the other in a vague gesture of magnanimity, but she smiled to show it was in jest. The gesture lifted her beautiful breasts just high enough in the steamy water to bare her puffy nipples. "Fine. I won't be the Goddess of Storms, but you're offering me a pretty good deal if it's true."<br/><br/>"And I still don't entirely trust you, Cyprus, but you know what?" she continued. "Even if this isn't entirely true -- even if you're still hiding something from me -- killing a Sorcerer-King will make me rich beyond words. Do you know how many enemies they have?"<br/><br/>And here something became apparent about Shanna: She might be a fine warrior, a good actress, skilled at feints and getting in character for others, but Shanna was pretty terrible at lying or swindling. She was far too open and honest for that.<br/><br/>"We set out in the morning!"<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>[/quote]
