William Baker

William sat up with a start, he had fallen asleep at his desk again with another book. He didn't really need to read them anymore, but he still found it fun. It was more enjoyable to read the books at your own pace than to just know the information when it became pertinent by the force of divine will. Well that and it was probably best to keep up appearances. He hadn't quite told his parents everything about how this whole 'Cleric of a Dead God' thing worked, a little white lie here and there kept the whole thing from becoming too awkward.

But... oh yeah, the book! Crap! It had to be back at the library today! A quick rush through his routine of getting washed and dressed and he was down the stairs in a flash, a quick hello to his parents and a breakfast roll snatched from the case and he was on his way back to the library to resume his day of fun.

Reading, that is, he was going to do a lot of reading.

William stumbled in late, which was honestly somewhat surprising for the kid. What wasn't surprising was the book he held clutched in his arms.

"Uhm..sorry, I forgot and.. uhh, my parents uhh.. Anyways I'm here now. right?"

In truth he hadn't really told his parents much of anything of what was going on. He knew they disapproved of his 'faith healing' and this task was far too important to risk on them saying 'No'.

They'd understand when he got back. Saving the world is more important than parental disapproval.

William glares at Sariya, or more to the point glares near Sariya.

"I put the books back when I'm done with them... you're just mad that there's someone in this town that might know more than you about something."

He adds, much softer.

"Or did you accidentally freeze your brain too."

William peers at the dwarf, somewhat confused.

"That's not what the Xs mean, and that's rather incredibly unwise for a number of reasons... but thanks for the thought I guess."

I'm guessing we can just assume we paused to get equipped, or we just were equipped and didn't realize it. Since William for one probably doesn't trudge around town in a Chain Shirt.

William looks at the river nervously. Maybe if he wasn't weighed down by armor and his big heavy books he could swim the distance, but the water looks cold and it would probably not do anyone any good without protection. The slight problem with only having the library for education was that the sort of people who go into the forest on a regular basis were not the sort of people who wrote books.

"No, I doubt that I could make the distance under ideal circumstances, definitely not when it's like this. Though I can pray for assistance in whatever task we choose."

William does not take to the water well, particularly because soaking his clothes probably doubles his weight. But he manages to keep his books dry, that's all that matters.


He looks around at the trees and the ground, brushing aside some of the foliage.

"I.. I know this place I think."

William glares at the small Fairy, his finger tracing across the book until it gets to the proper line.

"Small fairies may look innocent but they can steal the breath of a mortal away and are prone to lying."

He clasps the book with a smug look on his face and stuffs it in his backpack.

"She's probably not lying about the guardian but I highly doubt she's brave."

Spending 2 surges- yay song of rest
William spits out spores and blood and poison and other such things while calling on his inner reserves to restore his vitality. He hates nature, it's never as nice and clean and orderly as it is in the books. Fairies just make it worse since all they want to do is keep things 'interesting' and their value of interesting tends to get people killed. Sully seemed to do a good job of keeping the thing's mouth shut before Sariya had the bright idea to open hers.

"You know what, Sariya, for someone who claims to be so smart you can be really..."

You aren't exactly sure what he said at the end there, since he was speaking Draconic, but you can be reasonably certain it wasn't very nice.

It had lots of consonants.

William glares at the spiderchild, tightening his grip on his sword.
"No, you don't get to hurt my friends anymore."

He drives his sword into the ground with a flourish, causing a burst of light to wash over Anden as well as his nearby allies. Where as it forms a shielding bubble over the party, it bites deep into Anden's flesh.

"But they will hurt you."

As he quickly chants an intonation of healing, he tears his sword out of the stone and up towards Anden, and while it seems like he might miss for a split second, the sword itself seems to gravitate towards him. The divine magic of the strike leaves him more vulnerable to Lerissa's attacks.

"They're right, both of them. It is a symbol of Ilmater, god of suffering. And... I don't think we killed anything, we just stopped whatever spell that rock was sustaining."

He gets up to go look at the pile of loot, selecting the Stag Helm, and hanging it loosely on his too small head.

"If you want some Sariya all ya have to do is speak up, and I know that's not a problem for you."

William teeters over to the Mandragora, crouching down and looking at it.

"Did anyone actually think to bring a shovel?"

William will just start digging with his hands until he's too tired to continue, humming a song that no one has heard for centuries. He doesn't even really notice when Victe comes running back in and snatches the blue shard.

"Well, it might scream so... we have to be careful with it. You seem... a bit too energetic."

William grumbles at he stares at the sea of vines. Why can't plants attack in the afternoon, after he's had a good night's sleep and slept off all that gods damned ale.
Alena is having none of his tired grumbling, and he uses her momentum to clear the way.

William shudders as he limps up the stairs, getting mind shocked by a plant, fantastic. He turns to the dryad with a bit of incredulity visible across his face.

"Was your brother load bearing, by any chance?"

He intones a quick prayer to the gods of knowledge to aid in the endeavors to come, and then uses some of his healing magic on Victe.

Plants should not have eyes.
Plants should not have motile tentacles.
Plants should not be able to use psychic powers to reach into your mind and somehow cause physical injury.

William was reasonably certain of the first two but he was sure of that last bit. After cross referencing all of his collated data so far as well as all the information he has about the ruins and the creatures they have encountered on their journey. William was left with one inescapable conclusion as he collapsed onto his bedroll at the end of the night.

"The Feywild loving sucks."

Who likes saving throws? I sure hope you do because I have a lot of them. Also knowledge checks. All of them.

A sharp gasp escapes his lips as his mother hugs his still tender ribs. He avoids her gaze, looking at the floor.

"A...tree, a spider, several plants, and half a Castle... I'll be fine though, really."

"No really mom, Marco needed... us to go out into the forest and find a plant to save the village."

He inhales sharply through his teeth as she shoves too much bitter root into one of his wounds.

"I didn't tell you cause I knew you'd just worry. But I'm here now and I'm okay."

Worry, yes, worry. The ultimate tool of Baker women. Any task, no matter how slight was cause for WORRY and any worry at all was the worst possible thing. If his mother had her way William would be locked up in his room forever with occasional trips outside for family gatherings and enough sunlight to not burn like parchment. To hear his father say it the only reason they had him was because she was WORRIED about what people would say if she failed to produce a child. And the reason he didn't have a sibling was because she WORRIED they might compete for her affections.

Right now he was just tired of the worry, he was grateful when his father intervened.

"It... we succeeded, we got what Marco needed and saved the village. Sariya was a b.... Sariya was Sariya. That made it hard enough."

His father probably thought it was right to hide things from William, he was his father after all. But so much had changed since he had left the previous morning. The town was out of sorts, his parents were out of sorts, and the furtive warning to stay away from the library even though William had just proven himself more than capable of handling difficulties and surviving. No, something was up and his father was trying to hide it.
And unfortunately for his father, William thought of the town's registers as light reading.
History: 1d20+12 24 Other than the ritual, did anything of relevance and import happen 18 years ago?
Arcana: 1d20+14 29 What rituals would the baby mandragora be necessary for?

Okay now he knows something's up. And it unfortunately involves Sariya. It just figures that even without her conscious intervention she makes things more difficult. And as much as he would like to say he wishes death upon her... he doesn't.

William gets up from the table with a sigh, shoving the chair back into his vacant place.

"I'm sorry dad, but I'm going to the Library."

William smiles and chuckles darkly.

"I'll remember father, you should know that."

And Then he's out the door, heading towards the library and the cache of all his adventuring gear, as well as the two notebooks from the ruins. Of course he notices Victe first, and greets her with a wave.
