Kiera Felldrake (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9KpyNmI9aLRbXF3cXBRa0o1MjQ/view?usp=sharing)<br/><br/>Kiera laughed as people spoke of the slavers. She spoke of a trip to the Worldwound and the efforts of the Crusade there. When her food arrived she politely thanked the barmaid, which took her by surprise as no one seemed to be thanking her for doing her job. But Kiera had long since learned the value of courtesy, not to mention it had been instilled by the Order back when she was mucking stables and cleaning other people’s armor.<br/><br/>The decision to leave early in the morning came as no surprise. No one wanted to camp on the side of the road if it could be helped. She herself didn’t mind doing it if it was a necessity, but tonight it was not a necessity. Kiera made a point of stopping after three steins of mead. She could have probably handled more, but it was unseemly to allow oneself to go too far into their cups.<br/><br/>When it came time to retire for the night, she called for the Innkeeper to bargain for a bed, not knowing if one was available or not. When the large man arrived, still looking somewhat sheepish from the earlier incident, she stood to speak with him, “Good sir, I would have a bed if you have one available. At a reasonable rate mind you, I have little in the way of available funds but would like to sleep in a fair bit of comfort after a time on the road.”<br/><br/>“Good Lady, it would be my honor and the honor of my Inn to offer you a free bed tonight as way of apology for what happened earlier tonight.” Said the Innkeeper rubbing his hands together in embarrassment and Kiera was fairly certain was not a little bit of pain. The going rate for a bed was five silver. It was not much to one such as Kiera and her party but still a lot to just let go.<br/><br/>“Neighbor think nothing of his actions. He was too far gone into his cups and not of his right mind. I’ll offer you 2 silver for the bed. You have a right to compensation for what is rightfully yours.”<br/><br/>The Innkeeper’s face relaxed as what she said processed and he stopped wringing his hands. “Done then, Milady.”<br/><br/>Kiera shook hands with the Innkeeper who then left. Though when she called for her tab, she noticed that the sum was two silver lighter then it should have been. Shaking her head she paid it and gave the two silver to the barmaid.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Diplomacy Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-01-30 08:48:53, Pockets (uid: 11170) rolls: 1d20a17 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=85221)</div></div><br/>The next morning would find Kiera sitting by the window of the room with the shutters thrown wide to greet the sun, which was the metaphorical embodiment of her Goddess. Though she had no need to pray for spells as her path as a warrior of the light did not grant such abilities, she still choose to do so every morning. She had always believed herself to be the sword of her Goddess and to be wielded by her she must be sharp and pure as any blade.<br/>As the sun broke the horizon completely, Kiera folded away the simple rug on which she performed her prayers. Then pulled her sword from the sheathe so she could inspect her blade. She knew that the magic of the blade would make it hard to break, but some habits were habits for a reason. She had no doubt that Ebron was as meticulous with his arms and armor as she was.<br/><br/>Once she had cleaned and ensured that her blade was still sharp, she sheathed the blade and took up the cuirass of her armor and began to clean her armor, again as a matter of habit. Once she was done, she adjusted the underarmor of her clothes before she went to seek out Ebron. One could always don their armor alone but it was always better to have help doing it. Especially in full plate.<br/><br/>Knocking on his door, Kiera said, “Ebron, I assume you are awake. Would you care for some assistance in donning your armor? I could use some myself. Fair is fair.”<br/><br/>{OOC: Donning full-plate armor alone constitutes donning it hastily, which lessens AC by one and increases the ACP by 1.}<br/>
