City of Cresthall

Crispy didn't say anything at first. She just felt Ashley's warmth on her and she leaned her head against hers closing her eyes, enjoying the moment. This moment. She was sad. Sad at how Crispy brought these emotions in Ashley. But..what could Crispy say, anyways? She was right. She was always right. About everything. That's one reason why she loved her. She held Ashley tight, held her close. Crispy's heart felt very heavy as the half-elf cried against her, and she thought about what she said for many moments before she tried to speak back.

She had no sense of caution. No sense of safety. She was brave to the point of insanity and, again, she would most likely see those close to her suffer because of it. If she didn't die first. How could she make Ashley understand? How could she explain to her that Hell itself was probably cursing her, watching her, tormenting her. She didn't have any of the answers so said the first thing that came to her mind. But, it was her heart that spoke, not her mouth.

Don't give in. You are who you are. It's all you know. Who cares about what SHE thinks?
I do. She cares about me. And..I don't like who I am. I'm sick of who I am.
Ohhh, listen to YOU. Trying to be soft and emotional. Things won't change now. You know that damn well. 
I want things to change. I hate myself and what i've done. I'm tired of you holding me down.
Why do you resist who you are? This is YOU. This is what you do BEST. This will ALWAYS be you.
No. Stop. I don't want to lose anyone else. Not again. I like this one. I don't want to hurt her.
You are an animal made flesh. A fury, a fire, an anger that will burn for years to come. Let it go.

"I'm sorry. I..I want..I didn't mean..i'm..not trying.." she whispered to her, trying to think of something to say to make Ashley feel better, but listening to her cry silenced Crispy again. She felt terrible. And she didn't feel that for someone else often enough to know what to do. Crispy hugged her tighter, trying to block her inner emotions and feelings. "I love you."

(Remember when 4,500+ GP each sounded like a lot for a bunch of 4th-level characters?  Now I think we undercharged.)

LOL! I'm gonna use the money to pay for Ashley's therapy because i'm such a pain in the ass =P <3

Way to spoil the mood Hatt.

Sheesh, that's halflings for ya. =P

(Lol, take back that level 5, roll for encounters again. I don't want to deal with that.)

The back end of the ship is badly damaged but the most of the ship is intact. The captain calls up the crew to take a headcount, they've lost 6 crew members in the sahuagin attack. Ominak hobbles back to the cabin.

(Congrats on the level up, for surviving the trip to Savasst and protecting the cargo. Welcome to level 5 and have a nice long rest.)

(Bennett and Gasp, make a Wisdom save.)

HOLY COW!!! Dm posted twice in 1 day!!!! Glory hallelujah !!!

WHAT!!!!!!

If we don't make it to shore in your next post i'm gonna quit. You have been warned.

I love DnD logic btw.

Guy 1: So yesterday i was nearly bitten in half by a giant turtle. My guts were hanging out and everything

Guy 2: wow, how did you survive?! Did a cleric heal you?!

Guy 1: Nah, i just took a nap and was fine.

ASHLEY:

OOC: Jeez I'm gone for a little bit and THEN everything happens

Gasp stows his bow and gives a sigh. Thank the gods those sea folk came along with they did. Gasp doesn't think they could have survived without them. Still, he is surprised in himself a little. The ball of ruffled feathers was willing to go down with them. Then again, maybe it's all of this mind melding that's been going on....

Wisdom Save 18

Bennett looks to the sky and says a small prayer. "Thank you, gods. Thank you."

Wisdom Save: 15

((Looks like I won't be playing that Blood Hunter after all :P)

((I'd also like to note that Bennett now has a whopping 33 HP))

Ashley has more HP than Bennett 

Karra is missing the solid ground beneath his feet, as well as it above his head...

(Also now the rogues get Uncanny Dodge. Could've done with that for those encounters :-p )

Hatt walks over to the crew, to see if he can help anyone who's injured.  He's mostly trying to keep busy, so he doesn't remember the image of the massive turtle mouth biting down on Crispy.  Yeah, that's in my nightmares forever, he thinks.

"You should be honored, Hatt." Crispy jokes, reading his grimace. "You got to see what I look like on the inside. Literally."

Ashley finishes her emotional out pour. The important thing is we are all safe and alive. She puts her back to the wall and sits down in a slump. I don't want to be on this ship any more 

Crispy puts her hand on Ashley's knee. "Hells, I know what you mean. I sure hope we get to land soon." she looks up as if talking to someone, threatening. "Or else i'm literally gonna jump off this ship."

Bennett chuckles, "It's a shame we still have another month until we reach Savaast..." He shrugs, "Better get used to it!"
