Day 5: Morning


As it would seem to Nyma, her fervent prayer for relief in this situation was met with the sound of rolling dice, reminiscent to the Goblin to the clacking of bones if she had to make some kind of comparison. Or perhaps the topic of death was on her mind at the time and altering her perception of the event slightly. Regardless, this sound followed with a maniacal laugh before her spear squarely hit the Spider Mother's face dead on and slew her in one throw, its body going limp with death before more information entered Nyma's mind in the aftermath. More abilities and something else, it seemed, had been gained. Though this was not all that had happened to or around her when it came to the group at large perhaps.

Looking about, she noted how the baby spiders fled in terror from the scene, and looked to Barth as the dice fell onto his head and onto the ground in front of him. It was as if they had fallen from the sky itself, in the case of the dice. But dice, the rolling clacking sounds, the maniacal laugh.....luck. Or rather, chance. A God of Chance who got a kick out of this, if the male tone of the laughing was something to go by. It seemed there was a God of Chance who had decided to roll for her throw here, though regardless of how his laugh made her think of his potential PoV on the situation......it in the end ended up saving the group's hide. Well, it seemed the successful roll most likely this was not on purpose, and she got the feeling that worshiping this particular deity wouldn't bear fruit unless he was amused with them again. Or at least, be any bit effective or worth the trouble.

But for now she had a more important thing to do.

"I dedicate this slain beast to Duvelna, the great goddess of death by whom life is balanced," the female goblin said quietly after taking a knee upon grabbing up her original spear once more from where Luz had left it.

Nyma then rose up, breathing an audible sigh of relief as the air came in and out of her lungs as her pounding heartbeat began to finally slow again. It was done. Two dead spiders so far, one small male, and one large female. The kill, and its benefits, were acquired and in their possession.

Nyma first moved over to where the spider corpse was, shooting her now barbed strings from her hand, enough to at least grasp the body of the larger female. Then using the weight on her back and what tiny bit of adrenaline left in her system, she pulled and pulled until the female's corpse was drug onto the bare ground again. She did her best to use the strings she had attached to its corpse to work up a harness, albeit she wasn't sure of anyone but her or maybe Barth could carry it with the barbs and all now. Maybe she could drag it along? That could work given the web harness thing she had put on it. Regardless, she turned to her next task at hand.

Walking over to Barth then, Nyma picked up the dice in front of him, holding out the male Goblin's gifts from the God of Chance to him in her open palm. She was almost smiling, though in general seemed pleased at how things had gone. Sure she had done something stupid and risky.....but hell at least her and especially Barth seemed to be able to pull these kinds of stunts off at least. It was something, and heck Barth here seemed to spice up the little adventures they'd had so far. It was kinda nice, actually.

"Hey, seems someone dropped you a gift. Heh, you gotta be one lucky Goblin, Barth," Nyma said, a small smirk finally surfacing on her face.

@Jangel13 Alright, same exp as the prior fight. Gotcha. I'll double check numbers just in case.

Life and death situation is funny?.....eh, Nyma did promise to give him some reverence. So primary Duvelna, and now the God of Chance. Will Nyma eventually get stuck worshipping a pantheon's worth of deities? Only time can tell. XD

@Jangel13 A couple questions, if i may ask. XD

1. Is "Devil's Luck" to be put under the Blessings section?

2. Just to confirm this, but did the potentially lunatic God of Chance just answer Nyma's prayer? XD

3. Upon dedicating this kill to Duvelna (and Nyma giving some private dedication to her success in that blow and such after this to the God of Chance) how much EXP would be gained?
Desperation, concern, a sudden last-second prayer of great intensity and genuine-ness offered up to try to make a stupid idea work. A random idea for an action i thought up in the moment when trying to take on Nyma's mentality in this situation and what might pop into her mind at the moment.

Barth is a bad example. You know, aside from being the luckiest goblin here. XD

As long as it isn't Shirlia that assists.

Day 5: Morning


'That idiot!' Nyma thought in her mind with gritted teeth, even as Luz put down the borrowed spear and charged in with a sword at the female spider, which had moved to another location now.

The mother had called its children back, who she could hear the clatter of coming their direction. She herself had nearly been able to spear the thing's face when it lunged in her direction after webbing one of Luz's hands too, though Barth's attack had driven it off before she could get in her blow. Now herself and Barth were to just stand there so Luz could only use a sword charging at a beast that could potentially web up up even more now?! It was lunacy. A plan of sorts, but if they didn't kill mommy spider it was going to get bad. Very bad. Though it was at this time Nyma had a minor thought pass into her mind amidst other things, compelling her body into action without another thought.

'What would that idiot Barth do?'

And with that, Nyma hefted up her borrowed spear into a proper throwing position, properly gauging the weight on her back and accounting for it, the spear in her hand's weight and such, and took three fast sprinting steps before chucking the spear using all her might and the inertia of her brief sprint to power it. The spear, as it were, was aimed as best as could be possible right at the female spider, seeking to pierce it through.

Perhaps she could pull this off? She wasn't in a panic as much as concerned about the situation if they waited. At the very least, Luz needed something to distract the spider from her, or something needed to hit the spider in turn if it paid attention to Luz. Either way would work as long as it....well, worked.

'Duvelna, Ramos, and any other gods out there who might be willing to answer this desperate prayer, i beseech thee to make this throw work. To help me slay this beast so this group may live. If you are a god i do not know out there, give me a sign and i will give there worship as well. Just...please do not be Shirlia if at all possible, she prayed in her mind, intense, determined, desperate and doing the equivalent of placing this throw's success on a prayer.

She wanted to make this attack count. She'd worship as many deities as she needed to in order to get through this and move forward. As long as it didn't piss off the Death Goddess, she'd worship Ramos or other minor gods too if it made her better able to handle this world and survive. She'd always give Duvelna the respect she could, though, regardless of if she worshipped a few gods or not. Hell she'd drag along a pantheon if it would work out well for her in the end.

Though she did not want Shirlia, personally because that felt like a bad idea in her gut for some reason. Likely a good reason. Maybe that god of light was ok, or other minor gods out there who would be willing to answer for a minor follower too? She really had no idea, but the prayer she said in her mind was as intense and genuine and dedicated as she could make it.

Let this work. Pierce her foe, bring forth its death. Before they were swarmed and eaten alive by baby spider and their angry wounded mother. She didn't want to die here. Not now. Not so early on. She....she hadn't managed to acquire power yet and forge herself a true life.

I shall reserve a spot here as well, ye.
Cymbeline Lockhart





The faeries again. Ah. Cymbeline activated the other sigil on her cloak again that would deter any would-be pickpockets....hopefully. Faeries could be determined little things, especially if offended or curious she supposed. As much a studying them would have been an interesting project, right now they had a more important matter to attend to. The Dark Lady. Having unwound one sigil with a careful mage's expertise, she worried what other sigils might spell, though at least the insight and what Sir Tiral had could, with study, give her the key to this dark magic. Hopefully. Though more than ever, if they couldn't stop this dark lady here they would need to understand her better at least. So that's why, to Cymbeline, studying that magic in a careful manner to understand its nature and origins was perhaps the best idea once they got back to base.

@Old Amsterdam @Shizuochan Yeah, i'd be willing to collab the rest of this little thing. Would take longer, but it'd at least streamline things. XD
