Sorry guys for such a long absence. It is getting down to the last days before I leave Japan and I am extremely busy. I cannot participate in any RP until after I am back in America and even then I will be busy with family plans/friends/boyfriend for a bit. I don't get back until the 23rd of March and we will have to see after that. Sorry for such a late response. Things are crazy here.

I got a 12 for Mercuriel. I forgot if he had +1 or not for Dexterity. If so, I will roll again. Or you can just add it to the 12 and it will be 13.

{I am assuming Mercuriel could also do this test? If so I would like to try.}

I am able to access the game on Roll20  

Mercuriel moved to stand behind Laurelin. He was aware of the Templars present and the ravaged site of the Dalish camp didn't help matters. He felt very uneasy. He placed a cautious hand on Laurelin's shoulder and breathed against her ear.

"Don't worry. We'll figure out what happened here and help as best we can." 

He removed his hand and kissed the back of her head gently before moving to look at the male mage present. Mercuriel remembered him from before but the two hadn't really spoken with one another much. Mercuriel did not address the man, seeing the current company of the two Templars, but rather began surveying the wrecked area. Dog followed on his heels.

Hello everyone. And welcome back Chachi. Haven't talked in awhile with you but I hope you are well. I look forward to seeing how Mercuriel and Etienne interact!

POSTED!

Philomena's sudden departure confused Mercuriel but he hadn't known her that well to begin with. He had wanted to thank her for healing him in the previous battle but apparently he'd not done so soon enough. She was gone and with her went any sort of chance to get to know the woman who had done him a kindness. 

Tempest's kind words were an ointment to the pain in Mercuriel's heart. He had felt like a failure for falling so soon in combat and leaving the others without aid. Tessa and Beldin had suffered too because of it. He was just grateful that everyone seemed okay now and Tempest's commendation of his time in the battle eased his guilt. She really was a good person.

He smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Tempest for everything. Your worry about my condition and support of my actions in battle means a lot. You are a kind woman and I am glad to know you."

He slowly reached out a hand and patted her gently on the shoulder in a show of camaraderie. Then he moved over to where Laurelin sat. He came over just in time to hear the end of her chat with Beldin. So some of the attackers had been Dalish? He hadn't noticed what with the flurry of fighting and his dying. He turned to Laurelin with a somber face and said, "I will help you in burying the bodies of our once kin. I do not approve of the life they chose but they still deserve a sending unto the Creators." 

Congrats to all those who can play earlier! 

Mercuriel gingerly walked back to this tent to grab some rations from his pack. He proceeded to hungrily devour them as he sat down on a log. Dog, back from his meandering around camp, stole a few of the choice pieces. 

The elf watched everyone go about their morning activities. He finished off the rations and shoved Dog away as he got back up and walked over to Philomena. He wanted to thank her for the healing she'd provided. 

He spied the tea she was preparing and smiled. Something warm would do him some good he thought. He addressed her cautiously.

"Philomena? I hear from Laurelin that you are the one who healed most of my injuries. I wanted to thank you for that." He eyed the tea as he waited for her response.

Mercuriel somehow managed to roll out of his tent in the morning with Dog in tow. He felt infinitely better but his joints were still a bit stiff. That was the price to pay for almost dying and then sleeping with a giant mabari as your pillow he imagined. Dog seemed pleased with himself for managing to hog most of the bedroll the entire night. Mercuriel frowned at the Dog as he trotted off to inspect morning food preparations. Mercuriel himself was rather famished. He hadn't eaten anything after the battle. He saw Tempest walking around already and decided to talk to her.

"Good morning, Tempest. How are you? I heard from Laurelin about what happened in the battle after I fell. I am glad that you are alright. I wouldn't want my failure to protect cause the rest of you harm."

He kept his voice low partially due to low energy but also because he didn't want to spook her or wake anyone else still sleeping.

Merc will be resting most of the night so sorry to anyone about lack of interaction with him! Will his resting recover HP Ruth?

P.S. I will send you my level up stuff soon!

Mercuriel recovers from almost dying and has a real heart to heart chat with Laurelin.

Warning: You may giggle with delight.

A joint post between Lorien and Ann

Going to work now but just wanted to drop by and tell everyone hi! Can't wait for you all to see the Laurelin/Merc joint post. It is so cute.

Also, going to play some Dragon Age Inquisition tonight! Six hours of awesomeness

Everyone, I hope you are excited because in the upcoming campsite scene Laurelin and Merc will have a really great moment! It will be awesome!

Can't believe we are finally THIS close to Inquisition. I remember when we were waiting more than a year until it would come out. Now, a week remains. OH MAKER!

(Ruth was kind enough to roll for me so I am going to use those rolls and link them. Thanks again Ruth! Here is my post!)

Mercuriel, despite his injured state, pressed on. If he went down he was going to go down swinging and taking several more of these bastards with him. He attacks LS1 and uses Mighty Blow.

Dog attacks the Fox.

Yes, I was just joking around with Hannah. I wasn't being serious or in game related.

(Okay, so I am changing my post a bit since Ruth told me I am close enough to do some attacking too. Merc and Dog charge.)

Mercuriel continued his movement across the field towards where Laurelin was located. The threat to her caused him to develop a kind of tunnel vision. The attack had been so unexpected. He didn't want anything to happen to anyone in their group but, most of all, Laurelin. Despite their earlier disagreement and rocky state at the moment he still cared for her, perhaps even more than he would ever admit to himself.

Dog followed his master dutifully. 

The two moved until they were next to Beldin and focused their attacks on M. 

Mercuriel then follows up by attacking LS2 using Dual Strike. He furthers the damage by adding Mighty Blow. Dog also utilizes Mighty Blow.

Only if you pay for the room or tent, Hannah! *wink wink*

OMG O_O Laurelin is fantastic looking! Bface you just made Mercuriel's heart leap out of his chest! 

*Merc sweeps Laurelin off her feet and buries his face in her wonderful smelling hair*

Aw, Bartha replaced Merc as the wallpaper on your desktop Bface. *sad face* JUST KIDDING! lol Bartha looks AMAZING~~~ Perhaps Merc should go after her >.> lmao jk jk! So happy we all have our characters being made in SL by the lovely Bface!
