coyoteclaw11Got a bit further in my campaign, and even got through my first battle whooooaaaaa (which was a lot of fun and also very nerve wracking. The more I play tho, the more I feel like this would be a lot more fun to do two-player so we could bounce ideas off each other c,:
I probably would've done more, but I messed up and accidentally deleted my last paragraph w/ no way to get it back lmao so break until I feel like rewriting it dfghj
Party
Sai (Character Sheet) | Rarder (Character Sheet)
Sai and Rarder finally reach the nurse's office. The door is wide open, and when they peer into the dark room, they can vaguely make out a knocked over table and various items scattered across the floor.
Rarder takes a step into the room, his foot absently connecting with a potion bottle. As the bottle goes skittering noisily across the floor, two figures shoot up from the chest and bookshelf they were hunched over respectively, and they draw their scimitars.
"Oh shit," Rarder breathes. Sai nods in agreement and fumbles for his dagger.
Rarder moves first, drawing his wand and casting fire bolt at the nearest figure. The ball of flame flies over their ducked head and disappears in a puff of smoke on the wall behind them. Sai moves in front of Rarder and holds out his dagger, ready to attack the moment either of the figures approaches them. The cultist near the bookcase makes his move, and Sai strikes, catching the cultist in the side and sending a spray of blood onto the stone floor. The cultist groans and levels Sai with a glare before raising his arm to swing his scimitar. A pained look flashes on his face, and he just barely manages to keep a grip on his weapon as he swipes harmlessly to the side of Sai. The second cultist finally makes her move and bypasses Sai to strike at Rarder. Her blade strikes expertly, slashing across Rarder's chest and making him cry out. He stumbles and struggles to keep his feet under him despite the pain. He attempts another fire bolt, but it dissipates the moment he casts it.
Sai chances a frantic glance at him. "Rarder, ar-"
"Worry about the blade-wielding freaks," Rarder snaps, gasping as the action sends a sharp, ripple of pain through his chest.
Nodding dumbly, Sai aims another attack at the cultist in front of him. It lands, and the cultist falls, unmoving, to the ground. The remaining cultist turns a cruel grin on Rarder, and readies her blade to strike. It catches Rarder in the side, drawing too much blood than he can bear. He tries to take a step, falls, and crumples unconscious on the ground.
"Rarder!" Sai cries, catching the cultist in the back with his dagger. She screams and turns on him, swinging her scimitar. Sai stumbles from the hit, and he shoves the pain down to focus. He strikes one last time, and finally fells her. He lets his dagger fall from his hand, and drops to the ground next to Rarder. "Oh gods," he gasps, taking in his roommate's too pale complexion and the blood slowly pooling on the ground.
Staggering to his feet, Sai searches the room for anything he can use to help Rarder. He nearly trips over a decorative glass orb. He casts light on it and uses it to aid his search.
He opens drawer after drawer, before finally pulling one and seeing a glass bottle full of red liquid clink against the wood. A health potion. He lets out a shaky sigh of relief and quickly brings the potion over to Rarder and tipping it into his mouth. It takes a moment, but eventually, Rarder's eyes blink open, and he lets out a groan.
"Oh gods. Thank the gods," Sai gasps, resting his forehead on the ground and feeling tears well up in his eyes.
"What the fuck was that?" Rarder asks, pushing himself off the ground. "Seriously..." He pauses and scrunches his brow. "And where's the nurse? Where are any of the professors? Usually you can't fucking sneeze without a professor showing up to tell you off for being out of bed so late."
Sai just hums in response, still bent over.
"You okay?" Rarder asks, eyeing him.
"I just... need a moment."
Rarder sighs. "What are we going to do about these guys? Are they dead?" He gives one a kick and jumps back when he groans. "Fuck. Fuck, okay. You just... stay there. I'm going to find some rope or something and tie them up.... or something."
Sai takes a moment to rest while Rarder takes care of the cultists. After tying their hands with rags and collecting their weapons, he returns to Sai to find him sitting up straighter.
"So... what now?"
"You're right. It is weird that none of the professors have shown up," Sai says, turning his gaze to the floor then closing his eyes when he sees blood. "I think we should go find one."
Rarder's mouth twists. "And what? Leave these guys alone? I feel like we should... I don't know. Question them? Or at least make sure they don't get away."
"They just tried to kill us! If anyone should be questioning them or guarding them, it should be a professor. Not us."
"So, what? You just want to leave them here so they can sneak off and try to kill someone else? Fuck that. Do what you want, but I'm staying right here."
"We shoul-!"
"You can go get a teacher." With that, Rarder sat firmly on one of the infirmary bed and crossed his arms.
Sai glanced between Rarder and the door uncertainly, before relenting and turning towards the door.
"Sai," Rarder called suddenly. When he turned around, Rarder cast prestidigitation on his robes to clear the blood and vomit. "Might help if you don't look so disgusting when you find them. Now, go."
Sai spares him a smile and nod before leaving.

Sai (Character Sheet) | Rarder (Character Sheet)
Recap
Sai, a student at a school of magic, is on his way back to his dorm one night when he hears an explosion. He goes to wake his roommate, Rarder, who convinces him that they should go check it out. On their way to find the source of the explosion, Rarder suddenly becomes sick. They decide to go to the infirmary instead. Something comes over Sai, and he acts out in a fit of uncharacteristic jealousy before shortly snapping out of it.
Once again, Sai and Rarder attempt to reach the nurse's office.
