Ah, yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for some clarification on how stats affect damage too. Nanda gonna buff somebody but I got no idea which stat would best suit whatever she's intending to do.

Like, is Strength exclusively for deciding the things they can carry, or does that affect physical attack damage too? How about speed? If say, Arton was defending himself against the undead with his shield, would that be in any way affected by his Endurance or his Vitality?
"I mean this group is really strong," said the king. "I should have called the WAA in the first place."

Nice sarcasm, your majesty, Nanda wanted to say, but she only smiled. She couldn't tell whether to take the king seriously. He seemed like someone who is unironically fun at parties, and that already earned a point of respect from her. Another point came when he revealed that the escort method is an honest-to-goodness flying carpet. Nanda shook her head in amazement.

"Boy, people would kill to get sights like this."

The view was certainly remarkable, and Nanda made it a point to memorise the layout of the city while they were far above. It was a very short trip unfortunately, and soon the dungeon was in sight.

It was a grim-looking place, and she could feel nothing but bad vibes coming from either the dark clouds or its dark cavern. "Loooooook at that cloud. It's so beautiful," the boy said, which surprised her. It took her a while to realise that, yes, well, there was something of a beauty to it? A beauty that was cut short by the emergence of the bloody soldier.

Nanda rushed to the injured man along with Sampson. "You're going to be okay," she said, firmly. "What happened in there?"

One of her hands went to the dagger in his belt. The red colour melted from his cloak, turning it the colour of the ground. She glanced at the dungeon's entrance. 15 elite knights, gone. Hmm, she might have to take this more seriously than the king was making it out to be.
I can't... I can't tell how I'm supposed to voice the king in my head. On one hand, he's all regal and serious-deep-voiced but the next moment he just starts lulzing.

This is not a complaint. I love him. Hopefully we get to see him again.

Also, DM, sir, I appreciate your no-nonsense-let's-get-on-with-the=plot attitude.
Been wondering for a bit. How/when is MP replenished, and would using magic sporadically out of battle counts as draining it?
"Are you wizard?" asked the little urchin boy. He was fast, even for an urchin. He was always one step ahead of Nanda as she slipped through Meteora's many alleyways. "Is that how you do that trick with the coins, earlier?"

Nanda grinned. That trick earlier was nothing; something to impress people on the streets, and distract them from the urchins scurrying away with their purse. Perhaps not the best thing to do in a new city, especially since she was hired by the literal King of the place, but she couldn't pass the opportunity up. The kids were practically worshipping her now.

"What do you think?" she said. She flicked her fingers and her cloak burst into flames... or at least that was what it looked like. In a split-second the flames seemed to be absorbed into her cloak, turning the drab black cloth into a burning red. A velvety, expensive-looking burning red.

The boy stopped in his tracks and stared wide-eyed.

"Sure, I'm a wizard." She laughed. "So you said you know where the castle is?"

The boy grinned.

"Ananda, princess of Zamrud," she announced herself to the elderly steward. She was no proper princess, of course, but she made sure to look the part, mostly through her cloak. It was a piece of wonder, fine red velvet decked around the edges with what appeared to be gems.

Gunthrum said nothing as he read the official WAA parchment she had given him. Finally, he gave it back to her. "I though Zamrud doesn't have any royalty."

"It doesn't," Nanda chuckled. "There's no royalty so anybody can be prince and princess."

He sighed, apparently not seeing the humour in it. "Please, have a seat."

Nanda bowed with a flair, then turned her attention to the room. There were a couple of people already, some she thought she recognized from the WAA. And there's the king! At the head of the table, of course.

"It is an honour to meet you, your majesty," she said with a curtsey. This king in particular wasn't very much interested in court manners, she heard, but it seemed a waste not to pull it off. She then took a seat somewhere in the middle of the table, a good place to observe all the others, or to be seen herself.
There's a place called Lebanon in the US? Is there any place outside the US that doesn't have its name used by somewhere in the US?
Since Ananda can perform illusions, could she have a “Rain of Terror” spell or ability where she’d throw knives but also create an illusion of many more knives as well, making it impossible for her target/s to block on counter the attack?


Oh, that's neat. And flashy. I keep thinking she'll use the knives sneakily, like regular rogues, but she does like flashy. And I'm thinking she can also cast it on other ranged weapons, like Arwyn's arrows. I guess visual duplication can just be considered a Create Illusion, but something with combat effect might be worth a separate spell?

How's this then, @Champion?

@Pseudo Stygian This one is nice as well. Add her to characters section. And if I may suggest, it sounds like your character has the hand-eye skill to throw knives. She has all those pockets, fill them with knives. An illusion moving in a straight line shouldn't be too complex.

Oh dang, how can I forget about knives-throwing? That's definitely her thing. I'm gonna add... 5 throwing knives in her pocket? They're recoverable and one damage each? Would basic throwing be a skill or can it just be an attack in general?

And you know what else I forgot about? LOCKPICKS.
Aaand here's my character. I hope you don't mind that there isn't a picture. Lemme know if the numbers are off. I'm still not sure what the weapon's should be.
