Reign: Kingdom Come

I feel like we should all be starting out at like a tavern or something and we work our way together as a group. Who knows? Maybe we're all at a poker table or something like that.

The Narrow Path

"He was going on a trip to the nearby city for our shop, checking on our savings. He hasn't come back since." Maggy explained as she led the way towards the city you came from, casting a spell between her hands. "I'm afraid bandits got a hold of him. Normally I wouldn't be afraid, but tonight..." Maggy trailed off as she looked towards the sun, almost setting over the horizon. "W-We need to get moving."

The spell Maggy was casting flew up into the air before finally splitting apart into some kind of red mist. The mist hung in the air for a few seconds before flying off into the woods. "That way."

She's lying to you.

"There's not really a story behind it. My dad always said if he had a boy, he would've gotten to name them..." Xoxi started before just flopping onto the bed without much care about it. "Mom named me that because she wanted me to be unique or something, or so I've been told. She said it came to her in a dream once, and that's all she said about it..." Because she hated you. C'mon! Get up! You can easily get out of here with the right mentality!

Xoxi thought through the headache as she recalled her love of gaming in general. It was her favorite pastime and something that helped her get through times like this. Times like that. "I used video games when I was young to sort of... ignore my mother's absence, I guess. I never really got to know her, and the one time I thought she'd actually step into my life -" A psychic hand appeared right over the pillow beside Xoxi, grabbing it tightly, "- she used me for her own gain!" The pillow split open, a good chunk of it's feathers poofing out of the fabric. YES! MORE!

Xoxi looked over at what she did before dismissing her hand and looking down to her feet. WAIT NO NO NO DON'T QUIT! ANGER IS GOOD! "... sorry, I-I got a little..." More free.

"It is hard enough to even think in there. Brock tried to get our group nicer rooms with a drinking contest. He's trying to out-drink the entire bar. Where are you going?" Jen explained before Maggy chimed in. "He's coming to help find my dad!" She definitely seemed happy about it.

MEANWHILE, IN A BANDIT STRONGHOLD...

An old man lay, his stomach riddled with bruises and cuts, made even worse by the visible bootmarks on his chest. He was mostly naked, save for his ripped trousers and his silver cuffs that kept him restrained.

A half-orc walks up to the old man and begins to downtalk him. "That ol' man was roight. Y'really ain't shet, an' you'll doie th'same way." The half-orc's ax sits tightly in his grip, prepared to find itself within the chest of the old man on the floor before him. "I'unno whoy Yashah wointed m'ta kill ye, bot ahm glad t'd'it."

The orc's head perked up when he heard the screams of an unfamiliar voice. "Fer' th'luv o't'Gods, I gotta handle dat'. Wait roight 'ere."

Hey @ProPro, he's trying to split us apart. We should stage a coup.

The War of the Three

Bonesword

@Floodtalon@Lmpkio

Bonesword immediately prayed as soon as he heard the explosions go off, remembering he is a skeleton and even he is not immune to what was coming. However, his prayer was answered as he felt the water feel closer to him his form staying intact. That's when he remembered he had the Shooting Star. The shield depleted itself with the explosion, but it was just enough to get Bonesword out of the explosion unscathed! Alright!

Then the moray eels came, and honestly, Bonesword wasn't troubled. The lack of any urchins below him due to the explosion made it easy for him to fall down to the ground and sit there. The stingers shot at him hit the seaweed armor, blocking the blunt of the attack from the skeleton, and making it more or less easy camouflage. The stingers also provided some level of versatility as defense should Bonesword get attacked by the eels trying to eat him at the additional cost of some defense. The thought of not a ton of defense bothered Bonesword at first, as he had no shield charged and not-as-defensive armor, but as he was on the ground as a lump of stingers and seaweed, he was honestly fine with the situation. Not getting hit was better than getting hit, after all.

Plus, Bonesword could explode the armor off him in the case something bad happened.

The skeleton began to inch his way towards the rest of the city, moving slowly to not draw the eels to him while still making progress, even if it was extremely slow.

*Not a boss*

The Narrow Path

"Great!" Maggy said cheerfully when a certain paladin walked out of the inn pinching the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "My father, Aithwale, left a few days ago to go and run to the city for some goods, but the cubs of the forest told me he's in trouble. I closed the shop early to go and find him. I could really use the company, especially with what he's capable of."

Jen began to walk to your side before she stopped, noticing what you were doing. A soft smile appeared on her face as she stood at the patio of the inn, watching you from afar.

The Narrow Path

"Aww a goblin! Adorable!" Maggy says energetically as she bends over to hug Gobbo. "I don't understand why goblins get a bad rep. I think they're great." Maggy stands back up as she looks at your figure, sizing you up and down to see what you can do. "... you seem like you can handle yourself. Think you can help me with a more... personal issue? I-I'd give your friend here free lessons!"

You can barely hear some cheering in the inn while you talk. Something good is going on there, it would seem.

The Narrow Path

"O-Oh! I can find her for you!" The girl behind you says as she turns around once, then turns around again, doing a 360 degree turn in total. "I'm Magdalene. Well, Maggy for short. I'm sorry that our store isn't open right now. I can't work it alone."

Maggy isn't really that much shorter than you, but she definitely is a good inch or three. She sports a very petite yet tall frame with mid-length auburn hair. A single green eye looks at you with apology while the other you assume does the same behind the eyepatch she wears. She's actually quite attractive despite the scars you can see underneath her top and on the side of her cheek. From her bag alone, you can easily tell she loves magic of all kinds. Hell, even necromancy judging by a small book she has. "What brings you to Secondi Brook?"

The Narrow Path

Jen and Brock enter the inn to book a room or two while Gobbo and you head to the magic store.

You attempt to open the door, only to find it locked. A sign is on the door, reading 'Closed due to circumstances'. Circumstances? Probably bad ones, considering that a store wouldn't close without a vague message if a wedding was going on.

"I-I'm sorry," A clearly feminine voice speaks behind you as you try to open the door. "We're closed for right now."
