Where my character left off

Yeah I know, I just posted something else. But I had more to say that had nothing to do with all that, so think of this as something totally separate. Pretend its on another day even.

I just wanted to write out my character Tanisevania's current situation, since she was in the middle of an altered state when we left off this session. I should then be able to reread this next Sunday and better get back into her state of mind.

Our party had just been attacked by three warg-riding Goblins, while we were travelling on horseback. This gave few of us time to dismount so we could fight better. My character did not, so she was still on her pony holding her badger Frances when the attack came to her. Her plan was to ride the pony away from the battle, then cast Summon Nature's Ally and send a Dire Badger in to fight in her place. However, one of the wargs reached her first, damaging her and knocking her and Frances off the pony.

I have mentioned before that she's a pacifist. Until now this has all been theory, because she's never been in real battles. We had had one battle before this that day, but we were able to prepare for it, and she was able to send a summoned creature in and stay out of it herself. So this was the first time ever, probably in her whole life, that she'd ever been attacked. She wasn't hurt too badly, but she panicked anyway and did the first thing she could think of. She had gotten a magical waterskin the previous night as a gift from one of the NPC's. All she knew about it was that its command word was "Stream." So, in her panic, she tore it from her belt and activated it, thinking that it might knock the Goblin (who was on the ground at this point, the warg having been killed by other party members) away from her.

Instead, all it did was create a very slow-moving stream of water, letting out a gallon per round. She cursed and fled, Frances following her (and she stopped the water too, but on the way, so she left a trail). She then sank down behind a tree, huddling and clutching at her wound. After the battle, Grim came and found her. She was still huddling there, acting shaken. Very concerned, he took her to Conalla (the new party cleric) and demanded she heal her. She did, curing half the damage, which calmed Tanisevania down a bit. She also managed to croak out a thank you to both of them. She continued to let Grim hold her, however, her head laying on his shoulder.

She's still going to be like this when we pick up next week. I know Grim's rage is going to end soon, and if he tired very suddenly, she would ask him to put her down. Then she would attend to the horses, making sure none of them were hurt. She'd get back on her pony and ride as usual, but she'd be very quiet, and noticeabley pale. When we make camp again, she'll probably make a point of not volunteering for any of the watches, wanting to sleep off her embarassment and fear.

And I think that's all. Hopefully this helps me next week :)
