  1. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia keeps a wary eye on the box she is fiddling with. The Vistani seemed like an honorable sort, but she did not know Sorvia. "It is so sad, to live without something to believe in, no? Perhaps they have not had much cause for faith. Perhaps we can change that..." She rubs her left horn...
  2. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia smiles at the barkeep, Arik, on receiving the wine, and takes a sip. She instinctively rubs one of her black horns as Tazkul mentions the crash. "That was nothing compared to our foray into the house of death we came across. Sorvia, had you heard of the Durst family? We found what...
  3. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia smiles weakly at Sorvia, glad to encounter a friendly face at last. She puts up her overcoat by the fire as suggested, her tail twitching slightly as she stares into the flames for a moment or two. "Thank you very kindly, Sorvia. Yes, I think a drink would be in order, after...
  4. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia smiles weakly at the apparitions of Rose and Thorn, as they fade away. "Goodbye, little ones. We will carry your memories with us throughout our lives, I do not doubt it." She looks to the church with a frown, then back at the makeshift markers Gaarek set up. Her face takes on a...
  5. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia stares at the priest, somewhat stunned by his blase attitude. Her tail twitches and her eyes flicker red, but the moment passes. Death must be no stranger to the people of this sad place. She follows him out to the graveyard wordlessly, paying no mind to the rain pouring over her...
  6. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia shivers a bit in the rain. "Ah, of course it's raining. Couldn't have a beautiful summer's day for respite, now could we?" She sighs, and lumbers up to the door. Noting the gouge marks with a grimace, she lifts the knocker and raps on the door. "At least a rest for the little ones will...
  7. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    "Perhaps we should determine exactly where we are, then?" Cassia rises, carrying the two skeletons, and walks over to the gates, intending to open them and see just what this strange village has in store for them.
  8. Scholar of Barbarism

    [5e] [Closed] Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    Wooo! Saltmarsh ho!
  9. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    It was with a single-minded fervor that Cassia lept in to retrieve the bodies. They cannot remain here...in this evil place... The blades hardly dissuaded her - she was determined that some good would come of their ill-fated venture into the house of death. She let out a growl that grew in...
  10. Scholar of Barbarism

    [5e] [Closed] Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    I'd be interested, heard very good things about Saltmarsh.
  11. Scholar of Barbarism

    [Closed] [5e] Tales of Ikhorus

    I'll put my hand up as interested; had a look through the existing thread, and it looks like a fun adventure so far. Thinking of trying out a Tortle Monk.
  12. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Stumbling over to the cots to recuperate after the hard-fought battle, Cassia looks at Baltair worriedly. "Are you alright? We should be rid of this place soon enough. Though first, we said we would put the children...to rest." She looks above towards the rumbling. "If the house doesn't consume...
  13. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia's eyes widen as the mound rises and lumbers towards the party. "So this *thing* is the culmination of their evil sacrifices...?" she wonders aloud. She begins to reach for her sword - then thinks twice. Discretion is the better part of valor... "Friends, we can outrun the abomination...
  14. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    "Baltair is right. But - I think it would make a fitting end to this part of our story if we were to smash that accursed altar to bits, hmm, Gaarek?" A slight smile curls on her lips. "I expect the shades won't take too kindly to that. We should pray to whatever Gods cast their gaze on this...
  15. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia shakes her head firmly. "We cannot participate in such a vile ritual - we must instead break the cycle of death somehow. Honor your wife by standing up to this evil, not succumbing to it." She looks to Tazkul. "Does that ritual book have anything to say about this ritual - or how to...
  16. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    "Someone perverted and evil, that's who would make a desecrated place like this. Maybe Gaarek's hammer could destroy it..." As Tazkul moves forward to investigate, Cassia goes up next to him to assist - wary of what was to come when they step closer.
  17. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia grimaces at the alter, and draws her sword and shield. "It seems, friends, that we have found the heart of evil in this house of death." She turns to Tazkul and Baltair. "Do the spirits have any sense of this place? Perhaps we should destroy the alter, such is its desecration..."
  18. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia looks over the items perched in the alcoves with a curled nose and a sense of disgust. "Bone daggers, shriveled heads, devilish iconography - these reek of evil. I would leave these be, unless we must make use of them in this dreary place." She turns and looks at the two passages out. "A...
  19. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    After partly healing Gaarek and Baltair, Cassia leads the group down the southern hallway. Partway through, she pauses as the footprints disappear. She taps the floor with her sword. "Wooden - hollow. There's something here..." She immediately sets to work pulling the planks up, revealing a dark...
  20. Scholar of Barbarism

    Party 8

    Cassia's readied swing goes wide as she mis-times when the first ghoul would come by. Sighing, she hikes up her shield, and prepares for a tough fight - three times tougher than the previous, to be precise. She focuses on the one in front of her at first, channeling another divine burst into it...
