				&nbsp; Welcome all. I'm looking forward to this game. For reference, here's the setting info:<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Setting info</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>&nbsp; Yelmed </strong>- A large trading village located on a bend in the Shajpi River, Yelmed is also famous for its militia and the half-elf who leads it (as it is very well organized and supplied given the settlement's size), the expansive offerings of Ianwor’s Assortment of Arcane Curiosities, its location as the place where an alliance between the elven warlord Feyira and the human prince Markus was formalized, one that would soon lead to the defeat of a hobgoblin raiding party, and snake fish pie.<br><br><strong>Population:</strong> 593<br><strong>Racial makeup:</strong> Elf (36%), Human (19%), Half-Elf (16%), Tiefling (12%), Dwarf (6%), Hafling (5%), Other (6%)<br><br>Militia strength: 18 (MM Guard stats, but leather armour instead of chain shirt), with an additional 45 in reserve (not proficient in shields or armour)<br>Other Defenses: The Shajpi river protects Yelmed's southern side, whilst a ditch has been dug on the northern side. It won't stop a determined enemy, but if the town's militia can marshal in time, the attackers would be forced to fight uphill. Trade however trumps the need for defenses in many cases and the road, heading east to west cuts through Yelmed undisturbed, nor is the dock fortified in any way.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Notable features:</strong></div><br><strong>&nbsp; The Forsaken Estate:</strong> Despite the dramatic name, these neglected remains of a noble manor are simply the result of an impoverished family that could no longer afford to keep table and had to move. Now 50 years, the estate is looking particular dishevelled, and is a favoured spot for youngsters rebellions and adventurous in equal measure to venture to by night. The rest of the populace is happy to ignore Tumblebrook Manor, accepting that it is a thing of the past, and secretly priding themselves in being a village without a local lord.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Ianwor’s Assortment of Arcane Curiosities:</strong> Run by a gnome of precise manners and excellent knowledge of his profession, the shop has an uncanny ability to display rare items despite the small size of the settlement. Potions and books are the speciality and constitute a lion’s share of the merchandise on other, but there are also reagents, scrolls and even a few magical staffs, and even an enchanted ring, though at 700 silver pieces, most are afraid to even touch it.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; The Shallows:</strong> Two miles from Yelmed, is a stretch of mud on the edge of the Shajpi that in late summer writhes with countless snake fish. Vicious predators in the water, fast and quick to bite, they are a little more vulnerable on the mud, enough so that they can be hunted. It is unknown who first discovered that these aquatic hunters tasted so good when boiled with dill and wrapped in dough, but the village of Yelmed owes that individual an eternal debt.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Devereux General Store:</strong> A well stocked parlor for anyone heading out who expects trouble, or even just rough terrain. Whilst most adventurers will peer at Ianwor's wares and perhaps find a treasure, all will have a look inside the Devereux family's General Store, and invariably find something they forgot or have run out of. Torches, caltrops, antivenom, arrows, trail rations, horse shoes, the list goes on, and allows the family to be kept abreast of the pursuits and tales of fortune seekers in the region.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; The Silverbough Vineyards:</strong> Said to be located on a hillside blessed by an earth elemental, this elven run vineyard produces what many agree to be the regions finest wine, and at autumn time, when the grapes are only being pressed, people already clamor to buy bottles for when the wine is ready, though most of it goes to the Devereux's family. In an average year this vineyard can produce 2,000 bottles of wine, most of it white. Part of the hillside is instead grazing pastures for goats, though unfortunately they are thoroughly average in comparison to the Silverbough's vine.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Notable individuals:</strong></div><br>&nbsp; <strong>Delnir Bel-Hubal</strong> - The headman of Yelmed, this high elf takes his position rather seriously, believing the headman of a primarily trading town should not himself be involved directly in the trade. He does own the largest goat herd of the settlement, and his land bristles with a colourful variety of bush and vegetable. The son of a Snow Ranger who patrol the mountain trade route, Delnir is not too interest in his family’s martial history, though he does display his father’s bow and armour on his kitchen wall. His wife, a human by name of Grenetta Bel-Hubal, tends to the goat flock, and has developed a reputation as an excellent vet, and is always receiving request, to deliver a calf, or check a lame horse.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Jilfin</strong> - A rather thuggish half-elf woman who controls the largest jetty in Yelmed, Jilfin makes a tasty profit off the labour of others. It is her high prices that see a few boats sail straight past the settlement, willing to forgo resupplying to save some coins, but enough stop that the half-elf is satisfied with her gains, and ignores requests to cut her prices. An expert dart player in Yelmed’s rather spartan Good Mug Inn, people have learned that playing her is a waste of money. Jilfin is less good at cards, and offers fair payment to anyone who could teach her, but most balk at the offer, worried what will happen if she is dissatisfied with the results.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Roseni Waltreen </strong>- The Halfling high priestess of the temple of Tymora and the owner of a small trade shop that sells good quality fishing nets, Roseni approaches her primary role with enthusiasm, organizing monthly events in the village square, rituals to conjure up her goddess’s favour. The inside of her temple shines with donated copper coins, polished vigorously until the minting is barely visible. Recently rumours have been rumours making their rounds at the tables of the Good Mug Inn that Roseni is romantically involved with a rather cute half-elf, and there is much speculation as to who that could be.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Soveliss Galanodel</strong> - A retired adventurer, this elf could gracefully meld the flashy spells and subtle blade play his people were famous for, as he had learned under great teachers in the Royal Court of Arashalu, where Feyira served as warlord, though that was before Soveliss's time. He arrived in Yelmed 20 years ago and for a while he lived happily with his wife and children, the excitement of the elven courts behind him. He has refused to join the town militia, though he did agree to accompany the press-ganged soldiers marshaled against the goblins, though purely as a strategy adviser. A few years ago though his fame once again proved counterproductive to his desired life of uneventfulness when a young elf maiden showed up, and after much speculation on the matter, he did indeed take her on as an apprentice.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Climate and Surrounding Terrain:</strong><br>&nbsp; The air tends to be humid and there is quite a bit of rain. The weather is overall coolish, temperatures peak at around 25 (77) degrees in summer, and hovers around freezing for most of the winter, dipping to as low as -5 (23) degrees at its coldest. There's about half a month of heavy snowing, but any more than that is rare, it's just chilly. The mountains are not high enough to be ice caped all year round, and the river rarely freezes over, though it will be lined with ice for most of the winter as shallows on the edge are common.<br><br>&nbsp; Located on a flat stretch of earth, the immediate surroundings of Yelmed is a gently rolling grass plain and the Shajpi River. A 2 hours trip on foot to the east will take you to the Pantir Forest where the goblins once marshaled and where defeated, whilst nearly a day to the north the hills gradually become the Calamb Mountains, beyond which the Royal Court rules. To the west the plains continue, gradually becoming more wind swept, no longer covered in lush grass. To the south across the river, the Valley of Blossoms and the Takonj Mountains are ruled by the Lempak elven tribes, beyond which the hobgoblins rule. In past their had been war between the two people, though currently they enjoy tense diplomatic relations. <br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>House Rules </strong></span></div><br>&nbsp; Mostly just aethetics, no big impact (I don't think), I tend to include these in most of my games. People who have played with me before will likely find them familiar:<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Coins:</strong> The common currencies of the land are silver, bronze and copper. This is because I feel gold should be special, and not a metal used in every day transactions. Prices are adjusted accordingly, so things that normally cost gold in the PHB instead cost a like amount of silver, ect.<br><br><strong>&nbsp; Languages:</strong> The language of <strong>Common </strong>does not exist, in its place there is <strong>Trade</strong>. As the name implies it is used by traders, and can cover general conversation. What it does not do well is elaborate word play or convey precise, non-trade related information. Persuasion and elaborate bluff attempts (such as “We represent the royal guard of the crown," as oppose to “It wasn't us, we're innocent,”) are made at disadvantage when done in <strong>Trade</strong>. Furthermore, attempting to convey non-trade related information (“It has spell resistance,” “Ignore the archers, I'll deal with them,” “Aim between the 4th and 5th rib, its a weak spot”) quickly can be tricky. During combat and other rushed scenarios, an intelligence check may be necessary to get the information across properly.<br>&nbsp; Replacing <strong>Common </strong>as the human language is <strong>Tullok</strong>, a soft language with repetetive "hu" and "kour" sounds. Everyone can swap <strong>Common </strong>for <strong>Trade</strong>, <strong>Tullok</strong>, or any other standard language.</div></div><br><br>&nbsp; Beyond that, why don't you introduce yourselves. Pictures, descriptions, what the others would know about you characters from around Yelmed, that sort of thing.<br><br>&nbsp; Also a question. I rather dislike the fully healing after a long rest 5th ed has by default. To me at least, it takes away from the excitement of a life and death battle if after 8 hours sleep the characters are good as new. Would you be okay with the Slow Natural Healing from the DMG being used? (You don't regain hitpoints at the end of a long rest, you must spend hitdie to do so. You regain hitdie at the regular rate). I don't mind terribly if we don't use it, its just a preference of mine.

				I think OOC is characther thread as well. Anyways here below is my char (link to mythweavers in the name);<br><br><strong>Erin Bel-Hubal</strong> (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1823876)<br><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/U05vvjh.png)</div>Erin Bel-Hubal is firstborn son of Delnir and Grenetta Bel-Hubal. He grew helping his mother in herding goats in his early life but he learned tales of his grandfather (snow ranger) from his father who even to this day patrols trade routes through the mountains. Albeit Delnir is much settled to live life as headman of Yelmed (and expect his son to follow his tracks), however before becoming future headman Erin wants bit adventure. That much he admires his grandfather (whom he haven't met yet but wishes to). So he became a merchant; a traveling merchant who also learned martial skills from local militia before he headed out to travel and learn merchant's trade. Which makes sense as Yelmed is trading town and his father gave blessing for it (as future headman of Yelmed should have keen business eye when dealing with merchants coming to Yelmed regularly after all).<br><br>Erin has enjoyed life on the road and river, most his hostile encounters are few goblins or bandits who had tried ambush caravans which he had been part of. He is very familiar with wilderness thanks constant traveling and he enjoys being outdoors and hunt on occasion, but he lacks much of nature lore or medical skills what his mother knows (albeit she gave him basics during childhood). He fears he may spend just decade at most on road until he gets rooted and stuck on Yelmed, so he plans enjoy it while it lasts, albeit some part of him thirsts some greater adventure than traveling back and forth the same established trade road.<br><br><strong>What others know:</strong> Erin is bit braggart, bit self-important as he dresses fancier than most and speaks him having established a merchant house (sounds grandiose considering he just started business bit over two years ago). He has made some good profits though in transporting goods (as that's what his service as merchant is what he provides to other traders and crafters). However he is handsome and can be quite charming and so he leaves many girls heartbroken whenever he goes (intentionally or not). Also he honors honesty and overall morally good trade agreements.

				&nbsp; You can post character sheets in this thread, it easy enough for me as long as they are all on the first page. I would also prefer players not look at eachother character sheet, just so abilities and such come across in game. After a combat encounter or two everyone should have a good idea of what the party members are capable of, and then you can check their sheets if you want.

				<br><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/z284SRZ.jpg)</div><br>Name: Nephie<br>Race: Goblin<br><br>History:<br>Nephie never knew why the old carpenter and his wife had taken her out of the city, taken her home with them, fed her and tended her wounds. She'd been alone in Timpra before then, an orphan of the goblin wars, stuck on the wrong side. She never knew her parents, nor the name they might have given her. Her name now, Nephie, had been given to her by the couple, after a while.<br><br>At first, certainly, things did not go well between Nephie&nbsp; and the couple. As soon as she was well enough, she ran away from the small house, taking with her some of the few valuables the couple had accumulated. A few days later, though, she had returned, bartering some of the pieces she'd taken for some food or a place to stay for a night, only to leave soon after. Then, a few days later, she was back again and the couple fed her and gave her a place to stay, even long after she'd run out of things to trade back.<br><br>Nephie quickly grew into a rambunctious troublemaker, getting along with surprising ease with the other children of the village, roaming the area in wild packs. As time went on, she stayed more and more with the carpenter and his wife, though she still spent most of her time elsewhere. By then, Nephie had become a competent hunter. Not a truly skilled one, she never had the patience for that, but she was good at hiding and was a skilled shot. With a sling, at first, then as she started bringing down larger prey and as she learned to skin the pelts and sell them, soon with a bow and then a crossbow. Often, the couple would find gifts on their doorstep, carcasses of her prey, either by themselves or next to a grinning, blood-spattered Nephie.<br><br>By the time she'd was grown up, Nephie had become, not quite liked, but somewhat more than tolerated in the village. Sure, she'd never really learned to get along with things like laws or rules or exactly to whom some things were supposed to belong, but there were plenty or rumours circulating of bandits being waylaid before reaching the village and many had found mysterious gifts of meat or berries at their door when they found themselves too ill to gather for themselves. So outside of a few occasional altercations, she was left to her own devices, for the most part.<br><br>Viola and Desmene still live in the house Desmene first build for them when they moved to Yelmed, still young and full of optimism. Life, however, has no been kind to them. Early on, a hard pregnancy left Viola unable to bear children and the few children that they did have were taken, one by one, by war or disease, the accumulated tragedies leaving the older couple with a gentle but sad disposition. Desmene still works, still good with his hands, though time has robbed the vigour from his limbs and life that of his spirit. The villagers are glad to give them work as well, the couple being well liked in Yelmed. Many families still live in the beautiful, strong houses Desmene built when he was in his prime.<br><br>The couple never told anyone why they picked up Nephie, back in Timpra. Certainly, they have as much cause to hate goblins as any. And few again can understand why they still keep caring for the rude, ungrateful thing. But anyone can see how much happier they've been since they've taken her in, which has done much to foster the tolerance she's unknowingly enjoyed, especially in her younger years. Certainly, there were times when that tolerance was... stressed, but all the missing trinkets have since found their way back to their owners and time enough has passed to turn these incidents into things to laugh at rather than mull over. That is, except for Virion, an elven groom at the Good Mug Inn. He is convinced Nephie stole the bone bracelet his grandmother left to him, an ornate piece carved from a great lizard's vertebrae, believed to be wood-elven in origin from across the see, but others say perhaps she just lost it. Nephie certaily doesn't remember ever stealing something like that.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Class: Fighter<br>Background: Urchin<br>Alignment: Chaotic Good<br><br>Str: 8&nbsp; Dex: 16&nbsp; Con: 16&nbsp; Int: 12&nbsp; Wis: 8&nbsp; Chr: 14<br><br>HP: 13<br>AC: 14<br>Initiative: +3<br><br>Saving Throw Proficiencies: Strength, Constitution<br><br>Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Perception, Sleigh of Hand, Stealth, Thieves' Tools, Disguise Kit<br><br>Languages: Trade, Goblin, Tullok<br><br>Fighting Style: Archery (+2 accuracy with ranges weapons)<br><br>Weapons:<br>Light Crossbow<br>Hand Crossbow<br>Shortbow<br>Rapier<br><br>Armour:<br>Leather<br><br>Equipment:<br>Backpack<br>Map of the city Nephie grew in<br>Small knife<br>Bedroll<br>Mess kit<br>Tinderbox<br>10 Torches<br>10 days of rations<br>50 feet of hempen rope<br>An alabaster mask<br>Common clothes<br>A wooden carving of a goblin<br>Pet mouse<br>Belt pouch with 20 silver coins<br>20 crossbow bolts<br>20 arrows<br><br>Personality Trait:<br>I have bad manners and eat like a pig.<br><br>Ideals:<br>Respect: Everybody, no matter their riches, deserves respect.

She works there was one of the serving girls, though has been known to provide some musical accompaniment (while her mother glowers like an angry badger at anyone who offers catcalls.) She's also been seen helping old Man Yarnle stock his produce in hte Open Market, and has probably been seen attending services at the templeo f Tymora. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Despite her ancestry, Onette was basically "raised human," which has not always been for the best. She feels the kinship with the elves and half-elves of the community, but suspects a lot of them look down on her (she has no confirmation for this, mind...) She has a lot of her mothers' personality; good with numbers, a dedication to craft, and when her temper is up, she can go all night. She doesn't know anything about her father besides that he's "some elf" (She'd like to know more) but it's possibly from him that she gets her slow temper, at least compared to her mothers' - she'd rather talk things out than fling a tankard at someone's head. Odette also has a certain fondness for "breaking the rules," more just to see if she can succeed than out of any maliciousness or perversity.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Onette wears her strawberry blonde hair short and plain, in a typical human style, but besides that her elvish heritage is plain as day; pointed ears, fair skin that, if allowed, tans to a warm sandlewood hue, with amber eyes and a lithe dancer's frame that many girls her age would kill for... Aside from the two rather generous gifts she got from her mother, that is. Her garments are plain but well-made, usually in a dirndl, though with the pleated skirts pinned up high enough to catch a few roving eyes. Though hse doesn't carry them about town, she fancies she'd have to take her lute and her mothers' rapier with her were she to travel.

				I am okay with giving the variant of health regain a try as long as there is still the economy of spending hit points especially if we have a bard cause that would take away from the applications of song of rest.<br><br>&nbsp;Would anyone like ties with Mella?&nbsp; I can see Mella and Nephie being a bit odd kindred spirits and friends&nbsp; and Mella regularly soothing and helping others forget the antics of the little trouble maker.

The apprentice helped in education as well as looking after the young Mella, as this is what the decided to name the&nbsp; child. The apprentice also filled the Young Mella head with Stories of Soveliss's exploits as an adventurer and she wanted to have her time that she could measure her own deeds and path against his, she knew that she might not follow directly in his foot steps but the path she might walk as an adventurer one day she wanted to make her path her own yet prove in her own way that she could hope to measure to&nbsp; be as much of an adventure as Soveliss was in his youth.

The apprentice helped in education as well as looking after the young Mella, as this is what the decided to name the&nbsp; child. The apprentice also filled the Young Mella head with Stories of Soveliss's exploits as an adventurer and she wanted to have her time that she could measure her own deeds and path against his, she knew that she might not follow directly in his foot steps but the path she might walk as an adventurer one day she wanted to make her path her own yet prove in her own way that she could hope to measure to&nbsp; be as much of an adventure as Soveliss was in his youth. Also the apprentice encouraged her fascination and study of the Arcana and encouraged her to one day learn the art of spell casting as well.<br><br>Mella grew up to an adventurous and inquisitive rapscallion and as she grew they found the best way to direct her energy when she could not be with Soveliss or his apprentice. Was to have her help with the setup at the events Roseni planned and organized and during the events Mella would hold her own performances during the various festivals at first it started with just dancing and tumbling and storytelling. then as she got older and trust more in her skills she looked to add a new level to her performance and she would preform still the dancing tumbling and storytelling but she would then add in escaping restraints, while telling a story, while dancing all in tandem with music is made her quite the sensation. The idea for it was part hers and part Soveliss's apprentice. <br></div></div>

				Aye, village is large but not that large that we would not know one another. Erin would had got business with all traders, either purchase and sell for them the goods or bring in goods (so he could replenish supplies in Alehouse and so know Simonette or even flirted with her despite danger of her mother flagging him with a barrel or mug). He could have played secret admirer for Mella (provide a exotic green feather as gift as secret admirer to her performance).<br><br>Erin is overall kind and good natured man so even if he is braggart and likes flirt he haven't truly 'engaged' on anyone (so far as anyone can know). Nephie's case Erin could have 'love/hate' relationship as Nephie may had stolen few goods from him but at times Nephie had warned him about bandit ambushes so his caravan was well prepared to receive ambush before it happens (or outright avoid it). Also Nephie is few people in village who may know Erin speaks goblin....but nobody in village, not even Nephie, had taught him speak goblin (and know goblin customs). So source of lessons and knowledge came elsewhere. His knowledge for goblin customs came upon when he determined facts from goblin warband just from way they were dressed or behaved according Nephie's report.<br><br>But besides above Erin spends very little time in village, around one season in a year at most plus key holidays as he travels a lot as a trader (so he spends few days resupplying and unloading cargo before heading out again). For his travels can have played key factor why he may not be engaged yet with anyone in village (despite either father or mother's attempts hook him up with someone so he settles down sooner).

				Well, Nephie would have definitely found her way to Onette's inn once or twice, for a night of drunken revelry. And given her size, it doesn't take much drunken before she gets to the revelries. And, of course, it's not always clear whether she's properly paid for all the things she ends up drinking.

				As a trinket, Nephie has an alabaster mask she found one day while exploring The Forsaken Estate. Though she doesn't usually care for trinkets for long, except for the statue of a goblin that Desmene carved for her, she feels strangely compelled to keep this one around.

The family moved there not long after the founding of the town and fell quickly and quietly into a comfortable routine, as halflings often do. They became farmers. They never owned the largest plot of land, nor the most numerous livestock. But their consistent work ethic has helped keep them happy and comfortable for many years. Having a nice little corner of their farm devoted to growing some of the finest of halfling tobacco in the region certainly didn't hurt their standing at all and made them well-liked with the traders. Yes for years and years, like clockwork, the farm had been passed down the line to the eldest child. <br><br>Until Allia was born. The eldest child of Ashton and Matilda, the current heads of the Riverrunner household will not be the next owner of the Riverrunner farmstead. She never had an aptitude or interest in the farm work, she wasn't interested in how to milk the goats or irrigate the fields. She simply wanted to read. And seeing as she was either easily distracted from her jobs about the farm or simply terrible at them, her family saw little other options than to let her do what she wanted. So Allia read to her heart's content. This leads her to a fascination with magic and adventure. When she was 16 her family demanded that if she wasn't going to work about the farm she'd have to find some other job, they couldn't let her lay about the home forever after all. She eventually got herself a job at Ianwor’s Assortment of Arcane Curiosities, working there as a shopkeep and helping keep everything organized. she made an arrangement with the owner, taking a rather sizeable cut in her pay for access to books from time to time. From there she began to teach herself the basics of wizardry. She still spends a great deal of what money she does make on trashy adventure and romance books, but her family is happy that she is happy and holding down a job. Little do they know how much she dreams of setting out from their quiet town to go on a grand adventure like the ones in her books.<br><br>Allia had always stuck out like a thumb from her family members. The rest were quite short and stout, all dark tanned skin from their time working outside. She was pale and fair from always being indoors with her nose in a book. not only that but she was unusually tall for her people, standing at an astounding 3'8'', and while curvy as any of her family members her limbs were more slender and willowy. The family joke was that if she ate a bit more or did some more hard work about the farm to build up some muscle like the rest of them, she'd pass for a dwarf.&nbsp; Allia despite having a relatively keen mind, is a little on the gullible side, at some point in all of her reading fantasy and facts got a little mixed up. Perhaps its just her kind and trusting halfling nature mixed in with her romantic heart yearning for adventure or someone to whisk her off her feet in fiery fit of passion.<br><br>————————<br><br>Good day all, meet my late entry halfling. I hope she’s up to everyone’s liking.

				Well, Erin has likely met up with Riverrunner family, to purchase their tobacco for sale elsewhere and also went buy or sell supplies to Ianwor’s Assortment of Arcane Curiosities as well. Also he could had supplied couple books for Allia's reading pleasure (bought them other town/city) ;).

Maybe during you Magic Book club buddies Onette's could have convinced Mella to come to your secret meetings and have her tell stories. Also Mella has a surprising amount of Arcane knowledge also.

				Hello everyone!&nbsp; I look forward to joining you all in this adventure!<br><br>I like the houserules, and in the tabletop 5e I've played before, our group had also always required HD to recover during a long rest also, so I'm comfortable with that form of slower healing.<br><br>And Allia, and Mella:&nbsp; as my character, Vanessë is the elf maiden who became the apprentice of Soveliss Galanodel, perhaps we can work out some common back story elements?<br><br>Here's some basics of my character:<br><hr><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6e/Aolien-WLOP.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Vanessë Istya<br><br><strong>Race:</strong> High Elf<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> 20 (following houserules on Elven maturity rate)<br><br><strong>Character Sheet:</strong> https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1829727 (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1829727)<br><br>Vanessë was born in Yelmed, and grew up there until here seventh year.&nbsp; At that time, her parents relocated to the elven Court of Arashalu, entering the service of the elven crown, and also hoping to reconnect their only daughter with a deeper appreciation of her elvish heritage.&nbsp; Vanessë demonstrated talents in both the martial and the magical arts, but being drawn more to books than to swordcraft or to people, it was determined that she should undergo training as a wizard.<br><br>She, however, grew restless.&nbsp; Her memory of even as small and provincial a village as Yelmed, in addition to the ideas she encountered in her studies, led her to feel that the elven society was too insular for her tastes, and by the time she was 17, she found herself wandering back to her birthplace, knocking on the door of Soveliss Galanodel, seeking to continue her apprenticeship under his tutelage.&nbsp; He had been reluctant at first, but her persistence, as well as her well-rounded talents eventually won over the retired adventurer, deciding that she had potential for him to pass on a legacy that combined magic, martial skill, and artistic expression.&nbsp; <br><br>Still, being the big dreamer that she is, Vanessë is once again growing restless.&nbsp; She longs for a life to see adventure beyond the village, to travel and see the wider world.&nbsp; Soveliss's tales of his own adventures may have been partially at fault for this.&nbsp; But the books that the elf maiden can often be seen keeping her company, whether she's sitting under a tree, lying in a grassy field, or even as she's walking through the village square, continually speak to her of a world much larger than she has ever experienced.&nbsp; And lately, in her readings of philosophy, she has come across a puzzling question ("What is Love") that she couldn't answer in words.&nbsp; And she is convinced that seeing the beauty of the world in is variety will be a necessary step in solving this puzzle.

				I think Vanessa may be joining Yelmed's book club :). Which supplier Erin is. But considering Erin's father is high elf he could had some point talked with Vanessa's parents to 'marry' Erin and Vanessa up but it was discarded likely reason Vanessa's parents moved back to court of Arashalu (and not bind their daughter to shorter living half-elf and suitor her to high elf noble in Arashalu possibly).<br><br>As I imagine that Erin's father has been eager pair up Erin soon as possible (he himself wanting perhaps retire from the job soon as possible and urge grew when Erin reached maturity and Erin sort escapes the deal in being traveling merchant).

				Hello and Welcome to the game Tangerine, Well Vanesse if you don't mind&nbsp; Mella&nbsp; had a bit of a relationship with Soveliss's apprentice of Almost like an Elder sister/fellow student that told her stories of Soveliss during his glory days and helped her come up with the idea of her telling stories while escaping from being tied up.

				Chulanowa, I love your thoughts... and actually, both your thoughts could be true!<br>Maybe as we've matured, the family resemblance has grown more striking.&nbsp; Even if we haven't suspected anything ourselves yet, and no one really paid attention due to our very different hair and eye colors, but one day, someone could say to one of us, "You know, you and that other girl really look a lot alike...." or something like that?<br><br>Hehe, Zaer, that sounds good.&nbsp; I totally imagine Vanessë's initial reaction to Erin to be somewhat similar to Belle's reaction to Gaston, although as Erin has much more redeeming qualities, she'll gradually warm up to him, whether romantically or not depending on how things play out.<br><br>Winds, hehehe, Vanessë may find herself a bit off-balance to discover that she has a halfling fan.&nbsp; She'd, of course, be happy to compare wizard notes.&nbsp; Part of her may complain that Allia is "doing it wrong" compared with her more regimented education, but another side of her will admire and even secretly envy the free-wheeling freedom of Allia's style of doing magic.

				Definitely, any friend of Mella's would have to be... tested for suitability. What happens afterwards would entirely depend on how Vanessë reacts to Nephie's antics. Maybe she reacts in a fun way that made Nephie want to keep teasing her? Or maybe she kept calm in a way that made Nephie want to know more? Or maybe she got Nephie out of trouble somehow?

				On the one hand, Allia is, as was mentioned, one of the few girls in the village around Nephie's age and height, so there's a bit of a connection there, maybe some fondness. On the other hand, Nephie probably thinks of Allia , a bit disparagingly, as a bookworm who dreams of adventure, while Nephie is out there, routing bandits. Nephie probably only even knows Allia thanks to her friendship with Mella and currently doesn't think that she'd be though enough for what they're planning. Or, at least, that's what I have so far.

That was all that had seemed to be on Mella's mind, an old friend from when she was young, came back after so many years. Certainly, it had been enough to pique Nephie's curiousity. Or perhaps her jealousy. She had few friends, after all. Not that that was strange, for a goblin like her. What was more strange was that it seemed to... bother her. There was something about this village that was so different from the time... before, back in the city. In the time she'd spent here, she'd started to feel... things. Things that seemed almost to be against her nature, but things that she wanted to feel more of. It was unclear which had caused Nephie sneak her way here, in Vanessë's new room, while the girl was away. Her true nature? Her new feelings? Some strange combination of the two? All that she knew was that looking at Mella and Vanessë from her hiding place as they met again, she'd felt a strange wave of hunger and irritation. Here was Mella, the one Nephie though of as her truest friend fawning over... what? Some noble elf girl who wouldn't know the back end of a tiller if it was carefully placed in a... carriage where she had... tea... ceremonies? Nephie's imagination had run blank on that one. She had no idea what nobles actually did, but she knew deeply that it had nothing to do with either her or Mella. So here Nephie was, in Vanessë's room, looking for... she wasn't sure what. Something to... 'borrow'? Some prank to embarrass the girl? A bit of both, perhaps? But for now, she was content to merely poke around, uncaring of the mess she was making in the process.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://yt3.ggpht.com/a-/AAuE7mBViEXufNE3sOcr1sfm2PL7B4vFb6ocvHP9Cg=s240-mo-c-c0xffffffff-rj-k-no)</div>Nephie's poking around the Vanessë's room revealed to the goblin that the elf girl didn't seem to actually own very much; the biggest mess would have largely been leaving drawers open, and the meager items she found, strewn around.&nbsp; Well, she could totally make a mess of the bedsheets on the neatly-made bed.<br><br>The armoire revealed only a couple of changes of clothing, and nothing fancy either:&nbsp; just simple light elven dresses, a single belt, a silk shaw, and a traveling cloak.&nbsp; It appeared she didn't even have a spare set of shoes.&nbsp; Her underwear drawer revealed pieces that were lacey, coming in a variety of colors ... and really small.&nbsp; Her desk was furnished with writing equipment and a few books.&nbsp; Another drawer revealed basic grooming tools.&nbsp; And another drawer ... a dagger of elven make resting in a sheath ornamented with a floral motif.<br><br>"Can I help you?"&nbsp; The room's occupant had appeared at the doorway, her footsteps had been very soft; if Nephie had detected it, it would have only been moments before Vanessë's arrival.&nbsp; If the elven noble was alarmed by the room's intruder, she betrayed no sign of it; she appeared calm.&nbsp; The manner in which she had addressed the goblin was neither hostile nor demanding.&nbsp; If the goblin could recognize it, the tone had been soft and polite ... even respectful.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/z284SRZ.jpg)</div>Nephie didn't know how nobles lived, but she certainly had expected more than... this. This was just what she'd expect to find when poking around some normal village girl's room. Everything was of much higher quality, though, like some richer girls' places she'd been in. Except those also had a lot more... stuff. The combination of the two seemed strange an intriguing to her. And the most intriguing bits were the thin, lacey bits of fabric she'd found in one drawer and the beautiful dagger she found in another. <br><br>It was just bad luck, really, that those were the pieces that Nephie had been examining when the noble girl spoke up, the sheathed knife in one hand, some of the strange fabric in the other. Nephie was good at hiding, of course. Very good. When she tried. When she didn't, though, she was easily distracted and surprisingly easy to sneak up on. As had just happened. Nephie froze and slowly, fearfully turned to see the noble girl looking right at her. There was a momentary pause, then out of the window she went, in a flash of green, the items still in her hand. There had been no time to think and consider maybe leaving the items. Pure, overriding instinct had set her to flee so that by the time she realized it, she was already running and it was already much too late to turn back.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://yt3.ggpht.com/a-/AAuE7mBViEXufNE3sOcr1sfm2PL7B4vFb6ocvHP9Cg=s240-mo-c-c0xffffffff-rj-k-no)</div>Vanessë, of course had not been expecting the little goblin in her room, but Mella had only just told her about her unusual friend.&nbsp; With that on her mind, the elf managed to remain steady even through the surprise, and even attempted to be friendly, despite the fact that the goblin held a family hierloom in one hand and her panties in the other.&nbsp; Had she not been forewarned, she may have kept a calm appearance -- she had been rather notorious even among elves for her ice-princess demeanor -- but she would not have attempted to be so friendly.<br><br>She ran to her open window, stopping as she leaned against the sill.&nbsp; Good the goblin was still in range.&nbsp; She lifted her finger, pointing at the fleeing figure, and uttered an incantation:&nbsp; the first cantrip that she had ever learned.<br><br>The goblin heard the elf's voice as if she were whispering right next to her ear:&nbsp; "It's alright, you don't have to run.&nbsp; I won't hurt you.&nbsp; You're Nephie, right?&nbsp; Mella was telling me good things about you.&nbsp; Let's be ...." the message was cut off at that point as Nephie had run out of range.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/z284SRZ.jpg)</div>Nephie's heart was beating hard as she leaned back against the tree she had ducked behind. There had been a... a voice, right in her ear. She calmed her breathing and shifted low and into shadows, let the forest consume her as she was well practiced in. Then, she listened carefully. Not a sound. The voice had been so clear, as if the speaker had been right next to her. But now... nothing. If anyone was so close, she'd have sensed them by now. Especially, she would have expected some reaction from her disappearing from sight and hearing. But nothing. Elf-magic, then? Since she'd come to the village, she'd well found out that some of the elves there could do... things. Strange, confusing things that seemed to come naturally to them.<br><br>So the noble elf had cast a spell on her. But not to harm her or stop her. Just to speak. Of course, people had often spoken to her when they'd found her taking their things. Yelled, more properly, though that could be excused from the fact that she was often far away by then. But... this was different from those other times too. There were no threats, no demands. Only reassurances. And... she hadn't called her 'goblin girl' or... worse things. She'd used her name. 'Nephie'. The only name she knew. Before, she was just herself. She didn't feel the need for a name. But Viola and Desmene had brought her to the village, named her, they said, after a beautiful flower that grew in marshes. She hadn't understood, at first, why she would need such a thing, but now... now the name was hers and it glowed with a strange warmth that seemed to be at the center of all of these feelings she was still struggling to understand.<br><br>And it was that warmth, maybe, that pulled her back once more towards the noble elf girl. Slowly, carefully and unseen, she crept back, until the fancy knife, wrapped in the strange cloth, clattered on the widow sill. "I... brought things... back.", say a voice from outside, its source still hidden. The Tullok was awkward and broken. Nephie was learning surprisingly fast, but it would be a few years yet until she would be fully comfortable with the language. "Knife looks... best thing. Didn't want to take best thing. Wanted to take... good thing. Make elfie angry. Laugh. Give back later."<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://yt3.ggpht.com/a-/AAuE7mBViEXufNE3sOcr1sfm2PL7B4vFb6ocvHP9Cg=s240-mo-c-c0xffffffff-rj-k-no)</div>When she realized that the goblin had run out of range, Vanessë lowered her hand, watching the little green form disappear behind a tree.&nbsp; She watched for a few more moments, then turned around, surveying the mess in her room with a sigh.&nbsp; "I see what you mean by 'she can be a handful and fall to old habits'," she said, recalling how Mella had described Nephie.&nbsp; Her entire education had been that the only good goblin is a dead goblin, one of the few things that elves and dwarves seemed to agree over.<br><br>It was her own opinion that her people could afford to broaden their horizons that she could listen to what Mella had to say.&nbsp; And even then when she had expressed a bit of skepticism, Mella's adamant insistence is what brought the elf to promise that she would treat the goblin kindly and patiently.<br><br>Having so few belongings that she brought with her back from the Elven Court, cleaning up was a pretty simple affair.&nbsp; She was admittedly tempted to chase after Nephie to recover her dagger ... well, yes, her panties also ... but as patience has always been one of her virtues, she decided to believe Mella on this one.&nbsp; No, not just believe Mella, she thought.&nbsp; She should uproot the prejudices that had been instilled in her through her education.&nbsp; She would choose to believe in Nephie.&nbsp; Well, unless proven otherwise.<br><br>But as it turned out, she didn't need that last thought after all.&nbsp; She heard the clatter on the window sill and saw ... her panties barely covering her dagger.&nbsp; Now that would be embarrassing if any of the village boys saw.&nbsp; And she heard Nephie's voice, as she struggled to express herself.&nbsp; She smiled.&nbsp; Mella was right.&nbsp; This was no stereotypical monster.&nbsp; "Nephie, thank you.&nbsp; You really are a sweety," she said, making no move towards the window so as not to frighten the girl away.&nbsp; Then she repeated the sentence that had been cut off during her magical message, "Let's be friends."

				So putting it out there cuz I do love character discussion. I'm thinking Allia's school of magic will be Abjuration. The defensive and protective nature of the school seems to fit Allia's sweat and caring nature more than others. The temp hp from the ward will help keep the little thing alive in our low healing situation. Additionally considering possible multi classing her into Divine Soul Sorcerses to help supplement groups healing output. perhaps it explains why she looks so different than the rest of her family. She is basically the halfling equivalent of an Aasimar by the way I describe her after all xD

				&nbsp; I think the problem is a lot of people are waiting to see what others decide, and will go with what the group wants, which doesn't work too well if everyone does that. It does however seem to be that the mood is shifting towards doing it alone, so that's what I'll go with for any I have to NPC. Sorry to flip flop on the matter, but it is a big discision and I want to make sure I do it right for those involved.<br><br>&nbsp; So Erin and Roland will wait a bit longer, but none of the magically talented youth will show up, and so they're just be sending the militia members. It will then be up to Erin to push the matter or just decide to leave.<br><br>&nbsp; What do you imagine Quarion is up to HopeFox? He might not have been in the marketplace yet to see the poster, or hear Erin's speech, but its just a matter of time before he hears in a community this size.<br><br>&nbsp;

				Quarion is definitely going to be going to the market! He might not have been there early enough to see all the goings-on, but market day is where he gets his chance to display some of his "experimental" creations alongside his family's regular wares. Mid-spring is the start of the goat cheese season, I believe, so the family could be selling a batch of very fresh cheeses, among other things. Ostensibly, he's just there to drive the wagon and unload the goods, with maybe an older sister who actually runs the stall?<br><br>Once he gets wind of what's going on, I think he'll gravitate towards Erin and the militia, because he admires Erin and is generally happy with doing things the official way when it comes to life and death situations. He'll register his interest with Erin and then dash back to the winery to fetch his adventuring gear. Shall I make an IC post now?

				tangerine, I'd lean towards <em>shield</em> for your fourth prepared spell. <em>Burning hands</em> is great, but you've already got two area spells prepared, so having something to help you survive unexpected attacks is probably a better investment.

				I agree with above; shield spell should save you a unexpected hit(s) (as shield protects you until your next turn). But as addition as burning hands is indeed good area attack spell (as is sleep), I would replace charm person with burning hands. You can probably force bandit to talk with some good social skill checks.

Personally I would let you cast it if the attack missed, but I'm not sure why you'd want to.

Anyone want to talk details or give he a brief catch up on where each group is at? I'll probably go back and read regardless but I wouldn't say no to a brief summer so I could get a post in sooner :)

It's fairly well known around town that Allia is the odd Riverrunner out in her family, as the oldest child she should have been slated to take over as head of the family but she decided she'd rather spend her time self-teaching magic and reading books than working the farm.

				Oh, just quickly: if Allia is making an Arcana check to examine the third wine, Quarion will cast <em>guidance</em> to give her an extra 1d4 on the check. I'll write a quick post for it tonight, if that's okay?

				Alright so, things seem to have settled, and I think I can consistently post again&nbsp; :-X<br><br>Since it was all Onette's idea, I'd normally assume that she went along with the "headstrong youth" group... but, since it's super-weird to come in at the end of a combat like nothing, I think maybe it'd be better to say Allia talked (or otherwise persuaded&nbsp; &nbsp;;) ) her out of the idea... or just that they were <em>both</em> late to the shindig. For. reasons. no really, just reasons. completely innocent reasons. I assure you. It had nothing at all to do with whatever you're thinking of. No, really.

				At this point I’m almost picturing the pair of them having that sort of relationship where everyone around them fed Up with their constant not just going for it, like one of those long term anime romances where it’s obvious to everyone but the two, and at any given moment they are around one anouther there is a villerger in the back ground resisting the urge to tell ‘Just Kiss already!!!’

				by the way, Lisztes, did my sleep spell do anything?<br>It seems the results of it would be important for what takes place next in the initiative order, and what Mella might want to do.<br><br>I'm actually wondering if it might facilitate combat if you provided us their AC and hit points so we could narrate the effects of what happens with each action?

				&nbsp; They have different amounts of AC since theur equipment and builds vary, and I gave Mella the opportunity to act out of initiative for this round since she's been hiding and didn't act the previous turn. However yes the sleep spell will work on both of them.
