"...So... you two are evil as opposed to merely desperate after all. How disappointing", the blonde elf said, sighing... before chanting a spell to try and free herself by cutting the net, using her natural agility to land on her feet if successful. 4 stones in Mastery of Magic to magically cut the net in multiple places at the bottom to free myself.
3 in Acrobatics to land on my feet.

You cut the net, but only manage to land on your butt.
"S*** She got out." The man said drawing a scimitar, as his partner pulled out a Kusarigama.

"Oof!" the elf let out as she fell on her butt, quickly getting up and drawing her sword and dagger and holding them raised against the two thugs. "...I got out, yes. You know what else I did, too? ...I single-handedly destroyed an evil, undead monster raising animated corpses out of a mist surrounding this village, just yesterday. Tell me... how much easier do you think it will be to kill you two in comparison?" she asked as a not-so-hidden intimidation attempt on the two men, while willfully leaving the young man out of it.
"Come here and find out. Perhaps you will learn something in the last moments of your life", she said, frowning, as she waved her sword as a taunt. 4 (Ef) in Close Combat (Swords, Fighting multiple opponents) +3 from my sword, into defense; (total ph.defense: 10, 11 VS Melee/Grappling)
4 in Social Skills (Intimidate, Harper) to attempt to intimidate them into reconsidering.

"You don't scare us!" One says using his Kusarigama to wrap around, and trap your sword as the other swings his scimitar only to narrowly miss you.

"Then you're stupider than you look", she retorted, firing magic missiles at the one with the scimitar, since the other's weapon was wrapped around hers, making it a non-threat for a moment. 4 in Mastery of Magic +1 from Targeting to fire a 5 stones blast of magic at the man with the scimitar.
4 (Ef) in Close Combat into defense. (Total ph.defense: 7, 8 VS Melee/Grappling)

(Again Flexible Skelleton doesn't offer defense against all melee attacks. Just blunt. The Spidey Guide is wrong.)
You blast him into chunks as the other guy yanks your sword out of your hand, and drives his sickle into your shoulder! (OOC: Lose 1w or 2r)

(OOC: Yeah, I'd forgotten the book was wrong. Text says something, and then the rules below say something else. I went and corrected it with a pencil so I don't make that mistake again.)
Ailaureen "Lauren" Tarathiel
"Agh!" she let out in pain, gritting her teeth as she then drew her dagger and tossed it at the man who had wounded her, aiming for the head! H: 2/3
4 (Ef) in Ranged Combat (Thrown objects, Precise shots) +1 from Targeting, plus 2 from the dagger. 7 stones VS this guy.
5 in Acrobatics into defense. (Total ph.defense: 8, 9 VS Blunt/Grappling)

You stab him through the eye as he was very close to you. Making him drop dead to the ground.
"Are you okay!?" The boy asked running up to you with his rabit, and handing you a health potion.

"Ah... haah... y-yes. I'm... a lot better now that I know for sure I won't be sold as a slave", she said with relief, catching her breath, as she took the potion. "...Thanks."
She took a deep breath, pulling the blade out of her shoulder, while drinking the potion at the same time to lessen the pain and allow the wound to heal. "If I may suggest", she said with a smile, "may I recommend getting better friends than those guys?" she said half-jokingly. 2 in Agility to pull out the blade in a way that hurts as little as possible.
Drinking the potion at the same time.

"They were not really friends as much as my masters." He said petting his bunny. "They took me in as their boy after a dragon burned my village." He extended his hand. "My name is Tristan. This is my pet, Chester."

(OOC: I take it the potion healed her of 1w? As for Tristan, he's a human, right? How old is he?)
Ailaureen "Lauren" Tarathiel
"I'm... sorry to learn that about your village", she said compassionately. "...Nice to meet you both despite the circumstances. My name is Ailaureen. Ailaureen Tarathiel. My friends call me Lauren", she said, smiling, as she moved to pick her sword and dagger back up and sheathe them, before searching what was left of the first guy if anything, and the other guy for anything worth taking.
"...If you want, I could talk to the villagers here. Maybe someone would be willing to take you in, and given how I basically just saved the village, I'm sure they'd be willing to listen. With some luck, we could find you a peaceful, loving adoptive family?" she suggested. 7 in Thieving to search the corpses.

(Human, and 18)
"No please-" He interrupted himself. "Let me stay with you... I wanna be an adventurer too, and I'm willing to do anything to help.. I'm good with animals. I can cook, clean, sew. I don't want a new family."

(OOC: So proportionally speaking if comparing elven lifespans to humans'... he's a tiny bit older a human than she is old as an elf... despite her being 108 years older than him, lol. They probably look like they're about the same age, though, because the difference is really not that big.)
Ailaureen "Lauren" Tarathiel
"An adventurer, huh?" she asked, as she got back up after searching the dead men. "I wouldn't mind the company, honestly... but you really should think this over carefully before asking to come along with me. I am...a rather dangerous person to be around for a long time. I have... many enemies", she admitted.
"You see... I am a member of the Harpers. I oppose evil and tyrannical forces wherever I go, and in turn, they despise me and would love nothing more than to see me dead. The Clergy of Bane, the Zentharim of Zenthil Keep, the Red Wizards of Thay, and the Cult of the Dragon, are all among those I count as my worst enemies, for multiple reasons", she explained, citing some of the most well-known, most evil magical organizations in Faerun. "Your life will probably be in jeopardy more often than it might be with most other adventurers. You should know this before making a decision."

"... I see... But still after what I put you through I wouldn't be a man if I just abandoned you." He said as you picked up their weapons* a few silver coins, a couple of survival knives, some rope lengths, and a bird call.
(Survival knives are +1.
Scimitar: +3
Kusarigama: +2 close to ranged combat though range is still 1. can be blunt damage if attacking with the weight on the end of the chain. Or slashing/piercing damage if attacking with the sickle. When used in ranged combat can damage or entangle (Difficulty 1, Resistance 5 to get free) Also if attempting to use the sickle as a ranged weapon +1r due to the lack of aerodynamics meaning the blade won't always go in. (None of that swinging the sickle s*** you see in anime. That stuff will get you killed in this universe. lol)
"They have some extra stuff back at the wagon. I can show you to it." He said picking up and handing you your flats back.

"Thanks... and very well, if that is truly what you want", she said, smiling, as she put her flats back on. "You know, you should probably get first pick here. I do already have weapons, and if you're going to be an adventurer, you'll need equipment. Take what you want, I'll take what's left", she said warmly.
