Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia laughed a bit at John's innocent compliment, and she answered, "Aw! Thank you, John," She let Pylia continue her discussion with John and Buddy continue dancing, leading a conga line. She was mostly silent for the most part, knowing that she shouldn't interrupt their time to catch up. She listened to the conversation until the bell tolled in the distance. She looked towards the temple of the Maker before watching the children run off in that direction. She waved goodbye to them and John as they left.

She looked to Pylia when she spoke in relief. She smiled softly and she answered Pylia "Yeah...That's great. John seems like a kind-hearted person," She then looked to Buddy and she complimented him, "You have some great moves, Buddy. Didn't know you could dance like that!" She then looked to the backpack, quietly telling Shortfang "Good job with the music, Shortfang!"

She then asked Pylia, "Is there anybody else you want to visit today?"

Sylvia made note of John's appearance but took care to not react. She grew concerned when the children became apprehensive as they approached. She let Pylia answer John's question, however, it only seemed to make the children scared and John confused. Before Sylvia was able to think of something to say or do to calm them down, Buddy stepped up. She was quite surprised to see that he could dance, and Shortfang was definitely playing an instrument to help him out. They were good! To Sylvia's relief, the children, Pylia, and John seemed less stressed. Sylvia smiled as she saw Pylia pull up her short hair into pigtails, which seemed to be successful in jogging John's memory.

She listened to Pylia as she talked a bit about John. She nodded in response and answered, "Yeah. He definitely seems happy. The stonemason also seemed to really care about him too," She then looked to John and she greeted him with a kind smile, "Hi John. I'm Sylvia. It's nice to meet you," She then nodded to Buddy and she introduced him, "And he's Buddy! We're friends of Pylia as well,"

She figured introducing herself and Buddy to John would help ease tensions.

Added in the Eldritch Blast into my last post since Orchid’s charging in.

As Najila walked, she kept Celeste close, wary of her surroundings, and unwilling to leave her side. She placed a hand on Celeste's shoulder when she made her comments. She whispered to the child, "Leave that to us, Celeste. We do not want him to go after you. Do not let anger consume you," They crept closer and Najila could only hear the tail end of the conversation. She narrowed her gaze at the elf man when they were able to peek across the corner.

She gave a meaningful look to Aron, Orchid, and Azzen. She had an idea, but she honestly would not be surprised if this would cause a fight. She hoped that her friends would be able to sense the message in her eyes, "After I do this...grab the elf man," She then focused on the elf man again, and transferred the hex on to him. The sound of the elf struggling to breathe is a good indicator that the hex have taken hold.

As Orchid charges at the elf, Najila takes aim and fires at the elf.

OOC

Najila will transfer the hex onto the elven man, targeting his Dexterity. If anyone moves to attack her or her friends, she'll fire an Eldritch Blast. EDIT: Since Orchid is charging and attacking, Najila will fire at the elf.
Eldritch Blast: 24 to hit
Damage: 10

OK.

I've thought about it, and I've decided I'll update Najila accordingly to fit the updated rules.

EDIT: Najila has been updated to account for the updated Unearthed Arcana.

Sylvia listened to Pylia's doubts and she listened as Shortfang pitched the idea of having Buddy approach the kids. She remembered how Andrews reacted to Buddy when they first met, and she figured that's where Shortfang was coming from. It was a good suggestion, but Sylvia knew that this was ultimately Pylia's decision. After Pylia gave her answer, Sylvia answered genty, "Alright. Let's meet him together then," She then moved, staying by Pylia's side, to approach John.

Najila calmed down and the power somewhat faded. But she kept a hold on the Hex, concentrating on the spell that would last for the remainder of the hour, in case they encountered more of the thugs. She directed her attention to Celeste as she spoke and came out of her hiding place. She answered the girl kindly, "For now. I'm sure there's more of them waiting, but we can handle them, and we certainly need to move ahead very soon," She then watched as Celeste healed Orchid. She was curious about why she didn't want Nadir and Layla to know that she had magic, but she didn't question it for now. She looked to her allies, waiting for them to determine if they were ready to head out, or if they needed to wait and heal some more.

@Expolar

I have a mechanical question out of curiosity.
Apparently WotC updated Unearthed Arcana for the Warlock of the Genie Patron.

Could/Should I update Najila accordingly, or would you like me to keep it the same?

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia headed off with her friends and found that the park is by the Maker's Temple. She could see that Pylia was visibly annoyed but she didn't say anything about it. As she walked with her friends, she would participate in making small talk with Pylia in an attempt to help ease Pylia's nerves, "I can't really answer your question, since you know, I just got here. But Gransys is certainly impressive! I'm pretty sure that giant sword is bigger than any skyscraper I've seen..."

When they got to the park, she looked around and it reminded her of Central Park. She then looked to see the children running down the hill, and among them was...a giant of a man. She wasn't sure what she expected when she heard the name of Pylia's friend, but it certainly wasn't this. He was bulkier than Buddy! He could probably stand toe to toe against her robot friend!

She watched and tried to read the situation. Was John just playing with the children, or was there some kind of bullying going on? She wasn't sure, and she couldn't get a read on the situation. She then heard Pylia's words.

She slowly turned her head to look at her friend with a look that read "Really?"

She chuckled a bit and answered Pylia, trying to reassure her as well as make a point, "If kobold children take a shining to you, I don't think you'll end up scaring these kids, unless you're trying to scare them off," She then asked Pylia, "Do you want us to come with you, or do you want to approach John by yourself?"

It is important to take care of yourself during these crazy times. Take as much time as you need! ^_^
