Subject: Finarsil
Has her Flute prepared but was also ready to use Feather Fall if necessary!
Once the Hunter Elves are all gathered on the bridge she can play her Flute and cast Cure Light Wounds while playing!

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: A Flute for My Bow
With her Long Sword Dark Weaver still at her left side, Finarsil solemnly slung her Long Bow across her back, as she simultaneously summoned her Ye' Cind Flute from its hidden pouch in her Bracer of Ye' Cind on her right wrist.
The revelation of 'True Seeing' from the Shaman Odyson brought with it a mixture of relief, as well as despair, in knowing that certain aspects of the bridge and pillars bore safe passage, but the knowledge that the Hunter Elves were hanging near death from the Leeches was a bit unnerving.
Finarsil was no novice, nor were her companions, as seemingly with one mind and one accord they all knew that the fate of the hanging Hunter Elves was in their hands, in spite of their urgency to locate and liberate their friend Galen and the Triplets.
The High Elf Bard did not need to voice her actions as she stepped forward to take her place in the most advantageous position to help Jarenion ease the Hunter Elves to the ground with their combined 'Feather Fall' spells, in harmony with Arien and Lun, as the abilities of the latter two carried them aloft to free the Hunter Elves from their unwanted hanging state!
Finarsil was ready to play a tune on her Ye' Cind Flute that would help bring healing to the Hunter Elves, after they were freed by Arien and Lun, then gently lowered to the bridge floor with the combined 'Feather Fall' spells of both herself and the Mage Jarenion.
She gripped the Flute with both hands as she concentrated on the task at hand, casting 'Feather Fall' in unison with Jarenion, as each Hunter Elf was freed by the combined efforts of Arien and Lun.
There would be time soon enough to play the appropriate tune to aid either her companions or the victims of the Leeches, whichever became more needful once the Hunter Elves were 'safely' deposited on the bridge floor.
((OOC: Finarsil will be postioned as far to the rear behind Jarenion as possible to still effectively utilize her 'Feather Fall' spells [however many times the spell needs to be cast to help lower the Hunter Elves safely and as gently as possible to the floor of the stone bridge] and be in a position where the remainder of her comrades are able to provide a modicum of protection and cover against any type of surprise attack, while she and her comrades attempt to help rescue the Hunter Elves from the evil fate of being hung by Leeches!))

Point of Clarification with Finarsil is that when the Bard speaks it is in blue and when she is thinking thoughts to herself they are in black.

Topic: Virus Issues
Subject: Ha Ha Haaaaa Eol
The Computer Tech mentioned that one of the ways to get Viruses is by clicking on the 'Update Flash Player' announcement, which is what I did Sunday night (and had done a few days earlier) also!
Monday morning I had a popup that told me I had to call a toll free number to find out how to get rid of a malware virus and I could not close the popup, nor could I open another Tab!
So I had to restart my laptop, make sure all my Red Dragon Inn game info was in a New Emergency Folder, copied that folder to my Flash Drive and then took my laptop to have it 'mind wiped' and reloaded, so I wait patiently for its return and my return to being 'Active on the Inn'

Topic: Emerald City: Silver Storm
Subject: Swamped
I have been 'Swamped' with some unexpected things that I had to attend to these past couple of weeks, which unfortunately cut deeply into my time for developing this 'Silver Storm' adventure and from answering questions about Character Creation.
My Sincere Apologies to Salvator Navaar, Chessicfayth and Kamina.
If the three of you are still interested in playing, then please contact me and I will send you a PDF with information about Emerald City that you may find invaluable for Character Background and for Understanding the Setting of Emerald City, which goes along with the PDF Map of Emerald City that I have already sent to each of you.
Hopefully, we will get this adventure underway soon, sometime after I am able to verify Created Characters and after I am able to Post the Opening, which will realistically be sometime between the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, if not sooner.
So if the 3 of you are still interested in playing, then I am willing to start the game with the 3 of you, instead of the 5 to 8 Players that I was asking for in the Recruitment Thread.
Your Characters will just have to be on the Top of Their Game so to speak, especially if you 3 are the only Players submitting Characters for this 'Emerald City: Silver Storm' adventure!
Holly Hunter aka Nightingale will also be in this adventure to Help Your Characters!
Think of her as being like a Healer and also a Language Interpreter (rather than a Fighter) as this adventure unfolds, especially if the Super Team members find themselves in the Chinese or Japanese Districts of Emerald City, or if they encounter any Hekawi Indians.

Topic: Emerald City: Silver Storm
Subject: Comments & Observations for Holly Hunter aka Nightingale
Holly is not primarily a Fighter.
She does not have any Persuasion from the Presence Ability (0); however, her Rank 2 in the Attraction Advantage not only means that she is Stunningly Attractive, but that she has a +5 Deception and +5 Persuasion in certain circumstances due to her Attractive Advantage.
The unknown radiation she was exposed to on the camping trip in 2012 that gave her Super Powers, compensated for her lack of Fighting Ability by providing a Rank 5 in Stamina and another +5 with the Rank 5 Protection Power to give her a Toughness of 10. Plus she was granted a Rank 5 Regeneration Power that allows her to Restore 1 Point of Toughness every 2 Rounds,
Her Unrecognizable Power Feature assures her that no one can guess that Holly Hunter & Nightingale are the same person.
She is first and foremost a Healer, both from a natural human standpoint (Rank 10 Skills in Herbs, Medicine & Nursing), as well as a Super Human standpoint (Rank 10 Healing & Resurrection).
Her medical/nursing training has provided her just enough Technology Skill (Rank 2) to be able to operate any type of medical machinery or apparatus that a nurse would utilize on a daily basis.
Her Abilities in Intellect & Awareness (Rank 3) are described as Gifted, therefore, she has already graduated from the Emerald City University of Medicine with a Nursing Degree as of January 2014, at the age of 23.
Her Gifted Intellect helped her to master the Chinese, Japanese, French and Hekawi languages; plus helping her to master the herbal techniques of the Chinese, Japanese and the Hekawi Indians.
I spent 2 Power Points on her Dodge Defense (total of 3 includes +1 from Agility Ability) and another 3 Power Points on her Parry Defense (total of 3 includes +0 from Fighting Ability).
These Points in Dodge and Parry are to account for any training in self defense she would have received in high school to help defend herself from attackers (muggers or rapists etc).
I spent 7 Power Points on her Will Defense (total of 10 includes +3 from Awareness Ability) because most nurses have a Natural Will Power to press through all types of adversities to minister to the sick and dying.
The 7 Power Points on her Will Defense also works with the unknown radiation granting her the Mental Blast Super Power to Protect Herself, because although she is reluctant to hurt others, she was granted this Super Power to both defend herself and also to attack any would be attackers, especially with the Subtle Power.
Her Flight Power [60 MPH] also aids in her Defense, as does her Quickness Power, which also helped her to complete her studies more rapidly than the average student.
Her Advantages of Improved Initiative, Uncanny Dodge and Diehard also add to her Defenses to preserve her life. The Stealth Skill (Rank 4) works with her Flight Power to Scout and Track people.

Notes & Conditions
Short Synopsis of Back Story
Holly Hunter aka Nightingale is a local 23 year young woman from Emerald City who has mastered the study of languages: including Chinese, Japanese, French and Hekawi (Native American Indians from the surrounding region).
She also exhibited an aptitude for the Healing Arts at an early age and learned about Herbs from the Chinese, Japanese and Hekawi's she befriended, along with her advanced studies in Medicine and Nursing at both U-Hill High (an advanced program for prospective ECU Students and Gifted Children of the ECU faculty) and at Emerald City University.
Born of French Canadian parents, her Father and mother are Drama Instructors at Emerald City University, who also own and operate the U-Hill Theater. They live together in a modest quarters at the back of the Theater. Holly's room is in the Theater Tower, granting her free access via her Flight Power.
Her parents had the foresight to speak English in their home, so their daughter would be raised as an 'American speaking English' for her first language; until at a young age she was also taught French by both of her parents in the privacy of their own home.
Holly has been gifted with the 'Intellectual' background from her Father and 'Heart of Compassion' from her Mother that has propelled her to the head of her class in most of her studies, especially the pursuit of Languages and the Healing Arts.
She gained her Powers by exposure to Unknown Radiation during a camping trip in the Elysian Forest during the summer of 2012.
Although most of her Powers are geared to aiding others or preserving her own life, she is able to attack foes with her Mental Blast when necessary; although she is reluctant to do so, because of her Complication of being Reluctant to Harm Others.
Another aspect of her 'Self Protection Powers' is that no one can tell that Holly Hunter and Nightingale are the same person.
Her name Nightingale refers to both her Flight Power (like the bird) and her Healing Power (like Florence Nightingale the Founder of Modern Nursing).

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: Thinking of Tomb Lore
"Can this be the Tomb of Acererak? The Tomb of Horrors?"
Finarsil began searching the recesses of her mind; searching for memories of the Tomb Lore that might aid her and her companions in their quest to free the Triplets and their friend Galen.
As she searched the corridors of her memories, a familiar tune began welling up within her, as the High Elf Bard began humming a familiar refrain, while patiently probing her memories for any useful Tomb Lore information in the recesses of her mind.
She watched her companions, taking note of their actions and responses, for when the High Elf Bard would one day be able to sing a song of their victorious rescue!
Slowly moving forward, allowing her companions to move ahead of her, Finarsil kept a wary eye on the distant pillars, where the serpents wound themselves around the columns.
For the moment, sheathing Dark Reaver, in favor of her Long Bow, she slowly kept pace with her companions, awaiting the proper moment to get well within range of loosing an arrow to strike straight and true, against whatever foe would need to fall before them, in their quest to locate and free Galen.
Pausing for a few moments, the High Elf Bard made sure that no humanoid or dark creature was stalking the party from behind; then proceeded forward once more: watching with wary eyes the actions of each of her companions, the Torch Bearer and the Snakes wound around the Columns.
The humming of her familiar tune gave way to the softly spoken song that now escaped her lips, seeking to bolster the courage and determination of her companions:
"Alac-Ro the Weaver of Webs is the one
Who toys with adventurers' lives just for fun
When fear tries to make adventurers run
Dark webs seek to blot out the life-giving sun
"Alac-Ro the Weaver of Webs is he
Who creates the dark-woven tapestry
His dark works make a solemn decree
Please try to find a way to break free
"Alac-Ro the Weaver of Webs works at night
Devising the most devious designs for a plight
Where adventurers are tormented with fright after fright
If they fail to do the things that are right
"Alac-Ro the Weaver of Webs is who
Makes adventurers sweat like a wet morning dew
Creating impossible odds not a few
There is victory when you discover just what to do"
((OOC: Finarsil is quickly searching her memories for any bits or pieces of Tomb Lore that the Bard would recognize as helpful for her and her companions in their quest to find and rescue Galen and the Triplets.
Her song is meant to encourage her companions, because she has not as yet brought out her flute to aid her comrades, until it is a necessary action.
Dark Reaver is at her left side, where she can watch for the glow of the blade to reveal any Undead within 60 feet of the blade.
Her Long Bow is in her left hand and she intends to draw the string back with her right hand, thus causing an Arrow to appear from one of the pouches in her Bracers of Ye' Cind, ready to let an Arrow fly against the closest Serpent winding about the Pillar closest to her companions.
She will draw ever closer, positioned behind her comrades, watching their actions and ready to take action, depending upon the reaction of the Torch Bearer towards the one or more of her companions who try to engage him in conversation.
Finarsil also has the Amulet of Tongues, which allows her to speak or understand any language, if it becomes necessary for her to approach the Torch Bearer to establish necessary communication.
Finally, she takes a few moments to make sure that no foe is sneaking up behind the party, before she proceeds with the previously stated actions))

“Time is of essence. The blood magic to release them requires a full moon and that is tomorrow night. That is why I moved to find and bring you with such urgency. Galen and the ladies must be found and I ask you to aid me on this quest. What say you?”
Prior to the Queen's entrance from the garden, Finarsil had quietly greeted her old companions, courteously partaken of the drink and dainties offered to the 'guests', so as not to offend anyone by any unnecessary abstinence, plus she had graciously played a low tune on her flute at the bequest of some of her former acquaintances in the Queen's Court.
However, she was ever vigilant to mentally record the features and actions of all assembled, especially her former companions who had been summoned by Queen Yolanda in like manner, knowing that if she survived the imminent quest it was her duty to put the outcome of the approaching adventure into song and poetic verse, to share both at the Court of the Queen and at her Bard School, should she be able to return to her students and resume the life she had just left behind.
Talk of witches and cauldrons and blood sacrifices and dark magics made her emotions swirl, but her years of training and experience subdued any doubts or fears about facing such dark forces unbidden!
She waited her turn to stand before the Queen, then bowing in such manner as Bards are known to do, Finarsil the Flaming Raven made her pledge and vow:
"My Blade, My Bow and My Flute are at your service Queen Yolanda!
"May we return with Galen, the Triplets and an Epic Song of Victory!"
Finarsil refused to speak anything negative, for she was aware by the appearance and demeanor of Queen Yolanda that too many advisers had spoken words in hushed whispers that had reached the ears of their Grey Elf Monarch, but the High Elf Bard would rather die than utter such words of despair!
