Heritage Quest
So i felt like doing a /tg/ style quest, but don't feel like dealing with /tg/, solution: do it here
for those that don't know, a quest thread is like RPing with one player character controlled by everyone.
You choose actions, I write what happens.
anyway, on to the quest.
__________________________________
You have no idea why you did it or how you're going to deal with the consequences of your actions, but first a recap.
Your adventuring party was hired to stop the lizard men raids on a nearby village, thorough investigation into the cause finds that they were lead by a family of lamia. After locating their headquarters, you struck down the reptilian menaces and began dividing the loot as normal.
however, while searching for any hidden treasure you found a small bundle wrapped in silken cloth.
without thinking, you hid it in your pack and upon arriving at the village, quickly made your excuses, took your share and left.
So now you are a proud parent, it is up to you to raise the child of your enemy, but who are you exactly?

Re: Heritage Quest
[too... many... letters...]
You are Cynix Punkzilla, proud elven maid, deadly with a blade.
you are of average build for an elf, standing about 5'8" and weighing in at 137 lbs
you live in a medium quality house at the edge of Red-water, a small frontier town loyal to the Cenarian Empire.
in your personal inventory you have: A longsword of above average quality, given to you by your parents when you left home: A suit of chain mail (equipped): a light steel shield: your travel pack, which holds your miscellaneous gear: enough food and water for one week, and your wits.
In hand you hold an infant lamia swaddled in purple silk cloth, currently nameless. You should probably fix that soon
You currently stand outside The Retired Sword, the only decent tavern in town. Your adventuring companions are within, celebrating the success of your latest venture.
It is late, darkness has fallen on red-water.
What do you do?

[Wtf is a lamia? Also hopefully no grues....]
Walk into the tavern. Perhaps the party will help name your child.

Re: Heritage Quest
A lamia is a half-human, half-snake, which may or may not always be female, I'm not sure.
Re: Heritage Quest
(i'm using a 2d6 system, where low rolls are better)
[Knowledge roll: 5]
You know that Lamia are monstrous creatures which are half snake, half human hybrids, the species has a large sexual dimophisim, the males looking much more bestial than the females (think yuan-ti abomination).
Because of their regal appearance when fully grown, Lamia
Lamia are considered dangerous to humanity, and several cautionary tales feature them as antagonists.
Lamia females are not venomous, but males have a deadly bite.
[intuition roll: 3]
You realize that taking the child into the tavern may not be the best idea, seeing as A) you were hired to exterminate her family, her included, and B) it is a busy night, with several townspeople celebrating the end of the scaled threat. it may be better, if you wish to tell the others, to wait until later or call one of them out.
Your adventuring companions
Amnon: Dwarven Berserker
Hourig: Human Sorceress
Prip: Halfling Thief
Ezekiel: Half Elven Bard

Re: Heritage Quest
Call out Ezekiel seeing as a bard he is well knowledged in the lores of the world and may be the most sympathetic.

Re: Heritage Quest
You lean into the tavern, easily locating Zeke. The center of a knot people, it is obvious that he's been regaling them with tales of "his" heroics. calling him over, you motion for him to lose his entourage before he gets halfway across the room.
"I apologize,Ladies... and gentlemen too of course, but yon fair maiden awaits me, and it would be most unfair to deny her the... pleasure.... of my company. What can I say, she just can't seem to get enough of me."

Re: Heritage Quest
Give Ezekiel a STFU look. Once he is outside calmly explain the predicament while carefully keeping the baby concealed.

Re: Heritage Quest
You Fire! a death glare at the bard. [you use a ranged attack by Fire!'ing your weapon]
He Deflects! your wrath with with a wide grin that seems to ask if you have a problem with his actions.
"So what's up Cynix?"
you quickly explain that for one reason or another, you decided to save the child of the lamia family that you both helped kill.
"So what your saying is... you're a complete moron? I mean seriously, what the hell were you thinking Cynix? You're usually so down to earth."
"Anyway, what did you want me for again?"

Re: Heritage Quest
"Help naming it? if i helped name it i'd have some responsibility to... it. Not happening, pick one yourself. And sure, Ill help you explain to the rest of 'em I'd suggest calling a meeting after we talk to the mayor and get our second reward. "
You kindly explain that your daughter is not an it, she is a she. And by kindly explain, you mean that you didn't pin his foot to the ground.
"Owowowowow okay I get it, She. Still, I have my reputation to uphold, so I'm not taking responsibility for any part of this, if you'll excuse me, i have... buisiness.... to attend to. "
