Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia answered Pylia, "A Thousand and One Nights. This is definitely a good opportunity to share that story," That's right...She didn't really get a chance to tell Pylia about the story last night. Before she could start, Shortfang already began telling his story. Sylvia let Shortfang have the spotlight, and she listened. She had to admit, the sound of a gold dragon piqued her curiosity. She saw a black dragon in her dream, and apparently there were dragons of other scale colors. Were there more differences between dragons other than scale color? She continued to listen to Shortfang. She wanted to hear more of his story.

Sylvia noticed that Andras and Ferric were talking with the elderly woman, and Mica was staring at the rocks. She was curious as to why the rocks held Mica's attention. Sylvia listened as Shortfang and Pylia mentioned being here for a long time because of the rain, and finding something to do in the meantime. She commented, "Since we're gonna be here for a while, I might as well start cooking something for everyone. In the meantime, why don't we share stories with each other? I may not be a performer or a very good storyteller myself, but I have heard and read plenty of stories that I can share,"

The elderly woman's appearance kind of scared Sylvia. It was like looking at a stark contrast to her own grandmother. She noticed that Buddy chose to stay outside, and she let him be. The inside was small, so she doubted that he could fit in here with everyone else. After the elderly woman apologized, Sylvia answered "That's alright, Ma'am. Thank you. We'll be out of your hair when the rain lets up. And I've got enough food to cook for everyone,"

Sylvia entered with everyone, and she took in the small interior. She noticed the quirkiness of the bedroom and she looked to Pylia. Apparently even to her, that was quirky. She gave a look to her that clearly showed that she was seeing the same thing.

...She just hoped that it was just quirkiness, and not something to foreshadow something dangerous.

She decided to take a seat near the fire, with her legs crossed.

Sylvia blinked when a woman's voice spoke from inside the cabin. So someone was already living here! She walked up to where the elderly woman can see her through the hatch, and she answered politely, "No, ma'am. We're just a small caravan seeking shelter. We're sorry to bother you, but can we stay until the storm passes?" She hoped the elder within will let them stay.

Sylvia couldn't help but smile and laugh to herself a little when she noticed the look of awe on everyone's faces. She had to admit, this skill was pretty cool! Once she reached the top and hammered the pitons and secured the ropes, she looked to see the wooden shack nearby. She smiled happily, they made it!

She waited for everyone and helped out whenever she could as the others made their climb. As soon as they reached the top, she told them while pointing out the cabin, "We made it guys!"

Then the rain started to fall and the thunder cracked against the sky. She commented "Let's hurry!" as she led the way to the cabin. Before heading inside the cabin, she would help secure the mules and wagon/

Sylvia looked to Buddy when the others suggested that he go up. After Buddy looked at her, she nodded in agreement, knowing what he was thinking. After Elena mentioned that the storm clouds are coming, she spoke up, "I'll go up and hammer the pitons in. Buddy may be strong, but I can get up there faster,"

Once she received the pitons and hammer, she walked up to the base of the incline, and once again got into the Satyr Style stance. In a blink of an eye, she started making her way up the hill, hopping from one point to another upwards.

Sylvia nodded at the answer, and she rested in the wagon. She was in a bit of a daze while she rested, not quite asleep, but not quite alert either. She did feel guilty that she had ordered Buddy like he was nothing more than an object, but she was also glad that it kept him alive. She also couldn't help but think of home.

How were her grandparents doing? They must be worried sick! And her friends...surely everyone must have noticed she was missing by now...

She snapped out of her daze when the cart stopped, and she looked around to see that the cart stopped at an incline. She hopped out, feeling well rested and ready to face whatever else may attack. She watched and listened as the others tried to figure out the conundrum in front of them.

She stood by Pylia and Buddy, unsure how she could help out...

Sylvia's Short Rest, One Hit Die used!

7 Back to full health!

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia made it back to the wagon, and she sat down in the wagon. She let Pylia apply the herb balm and bandage her wounds. The herb balm stung, but Sylvia wasn't surprised that was the case. Medicine like the herb balm back home also stung, so she was expecting that. She had to admit that the cool sensation she felt a little after felt nice. She answered Pylia, "I'm feeling better, thank you Pylia. I think I just need to rest a bit,"

Now that the battle was done, Sylvia could feel the wounds on her. She also felt pretty tired. At the mention that the coins were worn down and are probably worth less than the weight in silver, she commented, "Then let's leave them be," When she mentioned she had herb balm and wanted to use it on her when they get back to the cart, Sylvia nodded in agreement, "Sounds good. Thank you. Let's head back to the others and let them know we've taken care of the harpies,"

She looked to Buddy and she told him, her voice no longer authoritative, "Come on, Buddy. Let's head back,"

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

When Sylvia saw that her idea worked, she sighed a breath of relief and said "Oh thank god!" When her attention was on the harpy, she was ready when it flew towards her. She dodged, ducked, and weaved out of the talons' way, parrying the attacks with the quarterstaff. The harpy was weak and desperate. Now was the time to end this battle. So Sylvia gave a battle cry, and struck the harpy with her quarterstaff, before giving a front kick to the siren.

Finishing the fight!
