<strong>Hunter</strong><br/><br/>"Hmm... fantasy you say?" Theo considers, perhaps the dismissive suggestion sparking something in his mind. "Of course, that would allow me certain liberties as an author... I'd have to target a different audience though. Maybe make the hero a halfling..." He mumbled to himself as he started to note down some ideas about wizards and orcs and magic rings.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Edge set up the game board onto which they were rolling with a pair of dice, just a simple game of who rolls highest. Somehow he'd always get a high number, and Hunter's coins quickly enough dissappeared into the halflings pocket.<br/>"Don't feel down, lass. At least ya inspired loud guy over there to be less friggin' annoying. I sweat tha guy never shuts up."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception check DC:21</div><div class="spoiler_body">Edge isn't cheating in the regular sense of the word. The dice aren't loaded, and the board is perfectly flat and even. His streak has more to do with his dexterity or inelligence than luck, as he uses a technique where he throws the dice down so that they land not rolling on their sides, but spinning on their corner. This way, he can make them spin so the sides with the high numbers are facing upside, so when they eventually stop moving and fall to the side, they will show a high number.</div></div><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Tevaga</strong><br/><br/>The recruits turn toward Tevaga as she climbs a rock and her speech does gather a small crowd. Some of the troops seem genuinely impressed, as only a few got to know her well enough to trust her completely, and some of the younger recruits still judged by the covers. Upon hearing her story though they'd start whispering, clearly the topic that a half-orc becoming a paladin seeming improbable. But she was there and it was proof enough, there would have been several soldiers to vouch for her too. Overall she did have the desired effect on the crowd, as after her speech they were talking about about her amongst themselves, how if a bastard child of Yranur could get this far, how far would their potential and efforts carry them. If nothing else, they would reconsider their attitudes and give it their all.<br/>Once she was done, Tevaga could still train a bit before turning in for the night, but it was getting dark already.<br/><br/><strong>Aleria</strong><br/><br/>The wizardess is brought back when it's already dark by a pair of clerics, with a cloak over her. She is taken to the infirmary where she could rest and the healer could cast a lesser healing prayer to restore the strength she expended. Her bruises and injuries would heal, but she'd have to deal with the troubling experience she had herself and no magic would help her in that. She'd be back in top shape in the morning, at least physically, and she had a duty towards herself and everyone by undertaking the mission, though any unwillingness to do so would have been understandable. As she was lying in a bed, she could overhear, unless she fell into a deep sleep immediately, that there was some fuss in leadership about her giong into the orc camp and some orc acting out of place and against the chief's orders. It was probably this what led to her captors demise and her eventual rescue.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Cure light wounds</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aleria is healed for 6 and she can shake off all the nonlethal damage to her hit points by resting until the morning.</div></div>
