Anntreen smiles as they begin to walk in the deep ditch east using it as a set path. "I am 99, my 100th year will fall in only a moon from now."
"Like I said before I come from a mixed family, by birth mother died when I was a child my father re wed and I have 2 half siblings, they grow so match faster then I I do and mother aged so much faster even then them. She is old and while father wished I would stay and continue to help raise my sisters Annabella and Karena, I announced my choice to start my path yearly. I had been under the training of the local temple of the goddess most of the priestesses and priests where human so they kept pushing me to begin my pilgrimage or to take up a potion far off in another temple for advanced training. I managed to convince my father to let me leave and wished my step mother and sisters well. I hope mother will be alright and that I will return before her silvered hair smile has been laid to rest from the laps of time. Humans are really such fragile things sometimes I wish everyone was as grassed with a long life span as us of are kin. " she takes a long and thoughtful breath.
"I don't really know what more to tell you I have not done anything particularly of [great] note in my life, nor have I bore witness to any events of note. Simple fact is I am new to this, and feel a bit overwhelmed for the grater part of the time. I worry my skills as a healer will not be nearly enough for a group the size of are party and I feel more so that by the time I have discovered what my calling is on the path of the goddess I will of lost the options of paths I have passed by so far in order to get to where we are now." her look is somber but hopeful.
"I have to admit what was seen the day before with the slaughter, and massacre of so much death on the road was a bit much for me. I was lost in thought for many houses after and felt competently useless. I can understand death is a part of life but at the same time I can't understand why people would bring so much pain on to others its a thought that's beyond my understandings."
IN THE DITCH
Jeaal and Anntreen walk inside the ditch, hoping to find a better spot to get out of the small but deep channel. After some time, Jeaal notices that the wall of dirt is not as smooth as in other parts and several roots emerge from the sides of the ditch offering a good chance to try to climb out.
Out of Character: Guys, the wall of dirt is smooth but is still dirt: you could easily dig small holes for feet and hands with a dagger or whatever else and easily climb out (since I suggested it, now is not an option anymore (laugh)).
Out of Character: Brucerono, you may have missed it by replying at almost the same time as me, but Tomas has attempted to throw a punch.
In Character: "Ja'laron! See thorough the facade for what it really is! It all fits together, this is the man we want! Besides if we're wrong, he will imagine it was his stupor!"
As he talks, Tomas circles the man so that he is flanking with Ja'laron.
Out of Character: Also, I would attempt to start a grapple, but it depends on the initiative order.
D20: 13, 17
Out of Character: iCon: no, I didn't miss it. I am waiting to have all the rolls to fit all the actions together. Also Krusten tried to push him and I still don't know what Stefflabunny and Carmana will do.
"I know what you mean. It's because they're unhappy, or scared, or desperate. Or they have never known a better way, because their forefathers have taught them desperation, or fear. I often wonder what the world would be like if everyone was kind and courteous. If everyone shared instead of hoarded. If everyone..." Jeaal trails off, gazing thoughtfully at the ground. He is deeply lost in conversation, and not paying very much attention to his surroundings.
He smiles weakly at Anntreen, and continues speaking, "It's why I try to smile all the time. If I'm happy, maybe others will see, and...I'm not sure exactly. I guess I just hope maybe they'll receive a little of that happiness, and take it with them." He pauses. "Have faith in yourself, Anntreen. You are exactly who you were meant to be. The events of your life have served to shape you into the best you possible. There is no problem that does not have a gift, if you seek to find it. And that never stops. I think you can accomplish anything you want, as long as it is truly what you want."
"I where a smile because simply seeing one often brings calmness and happiness to others, seeing them smile makes me want to smile even more even if I am hurting inside."
She smiles a bit of a blush comes over her face. She stops next to the roots and waits fro her friend to finish his thoughts. She hugs him and with a jester of the hand points at the roots.
"So shall we?"
She will take to the task of climbing up the roots giving a tug on them to see if they will support her body before starting.
Roll for clime 11+ 0 (strength)=11
(Out of Character: D20 rolls 14, 6)
Mina watching as her comrades jump to action, will come to attention and be ready for a fight if need be with staff in hands.
Hearing Thomas's shout about the drunkard 'being their man', she shakes her head unbelievingly. She knows no drunkard who can calculate something so grand.
(Out of Character: Brunconero, I probably will be less available this weekend starting Thursday. I will have my nephew in tow until Sunday. I don't see myself posting less than once a day though. Most likely after I put him to bed around 9pm.)
Jeaal smiles broadly, then returns the hug and follows behind Anntreen as she climbs. He looks around to get his bearings when/if he gets to the top.
Out of Game: Climb Check: 7 + 3 = 10
