The Divine Fallen

Nika looks back at the other maidens, than says calmly "Death is going to be a commonplace theme for us sooner or later. While I don't, and won't, encourage them to actively attack, this is about survival, and if it has to be that they die so we can live, then they'll have to accept that. But I will talk to them to make sure they are ready, should it happen."

Talia nods and adds "Creatures and beasts are one thing, but another person is something else entirely. I've already taught them never to draw it unless they believe themselves to be in mortal danger, and they're already almost too shy and innocent to draw them at all. And in the end, they have strength in numbers. 5 knives are better than 1 or 2."

nods gently

"very well, i will leave them in your hands, i will of course do anthing i can to prevent them from having to draw their blades. But it is better for them to be prepaired them be left defenceless, thank you for listening to my concerns. I may act pompous but i do have good intent when needed"

shouts to the party

"ready yourselves we shall leave for the mountains soon"

speaks to Nika and Talia

"we will have to continue their training once we rest, we can't stay here much longer"

"I agree we've tallied long enough lets leave before something else holds us back"

"Of course. Well, let's go then."

Nika and Talia head over to the other maidens and help them with some last minute preparations, then say to the party "All ready. Let's head into the mountain."

"I'll head the group, hopefully I'll spot anything ahead of us"

"i will stay at the middle, my current abilities benefit support afterall"

(Alright, I'm gonna end the session here, we can pick up tmr at the same time if that's good for you all. I'm still working on that drawing of Talia, it's kinda slow since I'm not used to drawing on a computer yet. It should be done in a few days tho, so then you all can see it :D )

(yeah that's fine dude, thanks again for the session today, sorry again for our party being a bit over the place today. im sure it will looks great so there's no need to rush yourself on drawing her, have a good one)

(Looking forward to it! However could we do the next session at 1 in the afternoon for you? My brother needs help with moving some stuff is all so i'll be busy, I'm also going to have a word with the two who keep disappearing cos its getting obnoxious now)

(Thanks for the session , see you tomorrow)

(Yeah, sure 1pm is good. And it might be good to do that. If they can't make certain days/times they can always just tell me and we can re-arrange sessions. And thanks, Durk. You too :) )

(Ok, that's cool)

(Everyone but the bard is here, to avoid wasting your time shall we continue? He will be coming)

(He's here now)

(Sure, he can jump in when he gets here)

You all get into formation and head to the foot of the mountain. The path is clearly visible, and quite wide, as it winds upwards and out of sight.
