Session 12 Extra: Grummsh encounters

Post by Corsario »

For personal reasons session 12 got postponed, but Patrick and I roleplayed for a little while, a couple personal encounters of Grummsh. I include the transcript here.

We need to see if we can play someday in the week.

Corsario: Ok, you return to the Rusty Dragon Inn after talking with Mayor Deverin and the Guards
Corsario: After freeing Ameiko
Corsario: That day you all rest, and you lost sight of Ameiko, that seems very shaken at having her father killed at her brother's hands
Corsario: At dinner somebody comes to look for you
Corsario: It's Dave
Dave: Lieutenant, sir!
Dave: There is somebody who wants to talk with you... one of the new... recruits...
* Dave smirks
Grummsh: alright?
Grummsh: who?
Dave: One of the boys, the older, Sanguinus
Dave: He has worked very well at the drills, and seems interested in serving the church
Dave: He asked to talk to you
Grummsh: alright then
* Dave salutes and leaves
* Sanguinus's aproaches shyly
Sanguinus: Lieutenant?
Grummsh: yes?
* Sanguinus salutes cumsily
Sanguinus: I... I want to learn to serve Gorum, sir
Sanguinus: Master Dave told me it doesn't matter who I am
Sanguinus: I mean...
* Sanguinus drops his eyes
Grummsh: what is the problem?
Sanguinus: Well... I don't have anything... I am an orphan
Sanguinus: A children of the street
Grummsh: do not worry gorum accepts anyone who has the will to fight for him and themselves
Sanguinus: I have it!
* Sanguinus stands straight
Sanguinus: What do I need to do?
Grummsh: pray to gorum with all your heart and fight with his name in your mind and his strength behind your blade
Sanguinus: i don't have one... a blade, I mean...
Grummsh: (( can he lift my old greatsword by the looks of him? ))
Sanguinus: (( should be able to, with effort ))
Grummsh: here is my old sword train with it until it is a part of your being
* Sanguinus looks very honored
Sanguinus: Thank you sir! I will treasure it!
Sanguinus: I will practice all the time
Sanguinus: Thank you!
Grummsh: remember only fight for things you believe in and lethal force is not always the answer
* Sanguinus take the sword as if made of gold
Grummsh: (( and only you can prevent forest fires... ))
* Sanguinus looks like thinking hard
Sanguinus: Yes, sir... I will
Sanguinus: Thank you sir!
Grummsh: you are welcome
* Sanguinus stands and attention, and salutes again... he needs work
Grummsh: train hard and you will be rewarded by Gorum
Sanguinus: Yes sir!
Corsario: After you gave your leave he lefts

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corsario: Ok, after the afternoon, you go to sleep
Corsario: You are in your bed, in your room
Corsario: Then you notice the door opens quietly
* Grummsh stays still and watches
Corsario: You notice someone, small, enters quietly
Corsario: But not trying to hide
Grummsh: hello
Corsario: It is Ameiko
* Ameiko Kaijitsu puts her hand in your mouth, asking you, quietly, not to talk
Corsario: She only wears a silk tunic
Corsario: In the darkness, thanks to your abilities, you notice she is sobbing quietly
* Grummsh offers a hug
Grummsh: (( lol ))
* Ameiko Kaijitsu's cling to you, and cries in your shoulder, to quiet her sobbing
Ameiko Kaijitsu: Please... I don't want to sleep alone never again....
Grummsh: alright do you want to sleep here?
Ameiko Kaijitsu: Please?
Grummsh: okay
Ameiko Kaijitsu: She lies with you, and cries herself to sleep hugging you
Corsario: Do you try "something" else?
Grummsh: no
Corsario: A gentleman!
Corsario: Nice!
Corsario: Grummsh now have a squire and a girlfriend
Grummsh: (( cool ))
Corsario: If you want to "flesh out" Sanguinus be my guest... let's say he is "your" npc
