Thoughts on the party

Wow I haven't posted on here in a long time.

Anyway, I just feel like rambling a little after the session we had last night. Our characters are back on their way to the capital after a successful quest, in which we saved both the Princess of the country, and a friend some of us made during the fighting tournament. Huzzah! Our trip took the entirety of the session, as we were attacked many times - first by 8 ogres, then by bugbears, and then by 15 goblins. Much yikes. Apparently it was dragged out because our DM didn't have time to prepare anything (she told us this at the end), but as for in-game thinking, I wonder if someone was hiring the beasties to slow our return or prevent it altogether. Those goblins did have a lot of money on them, after all. Hmmm...

I do have to pay attention to the specifics of where my character left off, and her plans for the future. Recap: the reason she attended the tournament and seduced Grim was because an Elder sent her on a mission to find out the cause of a sickness harming the world's forests. The tournament champion is to be sent by the King to the place where this sickness is rumored to have originated (for other reasons, probably some diplomacy thing), so Tanisevania was ordered to join his caravan and go there to seek answers and a cure. The side quest to save the princess and their friend was not part of her mission, but she went on it because a) Grim was going, and she needs to remain in his favor, b) the King ordered her and the rest of the party too, and she understands that kings have power that could mean her death, and c) she thought the chance to save a life was important. On the way back, she argued with the party cleric, Conalla, because she was littering. So she was mad at her for a while, but during the fight with the ogres, Conalla was almost killed (got down to -5 HP). She was very edgy and quiet and distant after that, so when the group stopped to make camp for the night, Tanisevania went over to see if she wanted to talk. In the ensuing conversation they kinda bonded, despite what happened earlier. The next day passed, and we got attacked some more, but we left off having set up a big tent around our campfire and everyone was drinking and playing music or dancing.

So some notes - it was probably getting warm in the tent, so Tanisevania might shed some or all of her clothing. I'll have to specify that when we begin next week. She's also beginning to see Conalla as a friend, and I think that if the opportunity arose, she might put some moves on her. This might be a bit awkward for me, as Connala is played by another friend of mine. But Grim is played by one of my friends, and I've been doing okay roleplaying the "educational relationship" between our characters, so I think it'll be okay. But in any case, we'll need to see what happens. She probably won't try anything until we're all on the way to the continent she's been ordered to go to, as she needs to focus on Grim and keeping their friendship intact so he'll take her with him. She really does consider him her friend, but understands that her purpose as a Druid comes first. So she's keeping her reasons for seeking his attention a secret, and trying to make herself indispensable as his teacher. Luckily he hasn't thought to ask her why she was interested in him in the first place *knock on wood* She also considers Kaleena, my girlfriend's character, a friend now, but is not physically attracted to her. She and Vesa, my friend Mark's character, became friends early in the game, and ended up having sex pretty early on. She enjoys his company, but he wasn't as good in the sack as she thought he'd be, and the vast differences in their heights probably proved awkward, so she won't be seeking his bed again. If he propositions her in the future, though, she won't say no. Red, played by Rob, is still more of an acquaintance to her than a friend, though she is friendly to him because he and Grim are getting along well. Boltark, played by Brennan, is also becoming a friend to her, especially since he helped her look for her lost henna. However, she doesn't feel as close to him as she feels to Grim, Kaleena, Vesa, and Conalla yet. That may change as we all spend more time together. As for NPC's, she sees Kankuro as an acquaintance, but sees Imari as a friend (an unattainable sexually because of how hot she is, though she is VERY attracted to her). And despite the fact that she was angry at Princess Isadora for deceiving them and putting herself in danger, she respects her decision to come with the party to find the cure for her illness despite the illness, and thus respects her more now.

And now I better go, as my shift at work is technically over ^^;
