Talien sits on the fire snakes corpse and turns to Rees and Arxius. How long have you been together? My master was with me all but 18 days of my time.
Rees is collecting her arrows and looks over at Arxius, then Talien. "Almost two years now, I think?"
"Three if you count the time you spent following me telling me you owed me your life," Arxius points out as she takes out some of her rations and offers the meaty bits to Meepo. "Very dramatic."
"Three if you count the time you spent following me telling me you owed me your life," Arxius points out as she takes out some of her rations and offers the meaty bits to Meepo. "Very dramatic."
"Okay, but I do owe you my life. It's not dramatic if it's true." She turns back to Talien. "Three years."

Meepo gobbles up the meat happily... he still hasn't learned to slow down since you met.

Talien moves over to Arxius and wraps her in a bear hug, picking her up off the floor for a brief moment.Thank you for saving Rees. He moves over next to Rees and puts his arm on her shoulder to listen to the story, eyes seeming to blow a bit brighter.
"Yes, Rees. You should share," Arxius says with a smirk.
As Telien hugs her, she completely stiffens. Not moving or even making a sound until he's moved onto Rees. The attachement this Warforged commands confuses her.
Rees' cheeks turn slightly pink because she finds herself the center of attention. Again. It keeps happening with this group and it's very foreign to her. "So, I grew up in an orphanage, you all know that, but I left when I was still pretty young because it was crowded and I was old enough to take care of myself. In my head, anyway. They'd still let me come by for meals and stuff every so often my bed was needed for a littler kid who wouldn't survive out on the streets so... Anyway, I'm not exactly smart or educated or whatever, but I have some skills that helped me survive and I got involved with some, uh..." Her eyes dart to Talien who's leaning on her shoulder and she swallows hard. "Some uh...thieving...crews... y'know, so I wouldn't starve and had some protection. Bit off more than I could chew and got caught. Tried to get away and that only made things worse. The crew abandoned me, I figured the guy who caught me was going to turn me in to the city watch but he was apparently a big deal and kept going on about how he didn't need the law because he made the laws and had decided that I should be executed. In the street. Arxius disagreed. Came out of nowhere, shot the sword out of his hand and managed to get me away from him." She looks over at Arxius, true adoration in her expression for her chosen family. "See? I owe you my life. Not dramatic at all."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talien says. So is a thieving crew like a group that is trained by a leader for certain tasks? Like my master thought me and my group to fight? His eyes flash red momentarily as he remember having to kill his whole class. Why did your group abandon you? Was this man that caught you too powerful for them?
18Roll for knowing the word thieving (not used in his Homeland) have a -1 mod so up to Fen. but I'm placing it as Talien does not know what it means for now.
"Uh, yeah... sort of." Her eyes dart around to the others, wondering if she needs to explain further or be grateful that he doesn't seem to understand. "Uh, I assume they left because I was of no further use. Dead girls don't make money."

Now that sounds like an interesting story! Share?

"The man was a monster, he is lucky the use of his right hand is all I took," Arxius says, bitterness in her tone.

Corkie looks over, "Aye... there are monsters... then there are monsters alright."
"You can say that again. I was in rough shape so Arx stayed with me for a while and then I decided to stay with her."

Where did this happen? Does this individual who 'makes the laws' have a name?

OOC: remind me - does Rees appear human or [half] elfish? Young or more mature? And only Grom has seen any shifting?

"Far from here in Raven's Bluff - the city where I was raised, and yes, he does. Most people do, in my experience."

(8 INT - it takes Alten a second. What check to see if he knows where Raven's Bluff is or anything about it? straight INT, History, Survival?)
Huh? Of course most people have names. But what's . . . oh!
Very funny. What's the guy's name?
