You are SAMANTHA SMITH, a teenage girl who has set out to overcome her health problems by, oh wait, you died by falling off a cliff and smashing face first into a rock, well that sucks. Good thing that by some strange twist of fate you were reborn in a fantasy world as a Harpy. Now you are in the town of Treebreak, more specifically Barley’s diner, a local pub. Now what is a three day old like yourself doing here? Well, your father, in his infinite wisdom, was suckere- guilte- convinced to bring you and your older and twin sisters, to meet his old adventuring buddies. Aaron, a muscular man with curly black locks of hair, who wears a heavy leather jerkin. Lydia, the tallest by far of the group, a woman covered in heavy robes and wizard hat, which are covered in baubles and knickknacks. Gorgram the dwarf, a bald man with a long fiery red beard. And Oma, the not!elf, she is totally an elf, just look at her ears, who is wearing a lovely sundress and straw hat.

Now you find yourself perched on the shoulder of Aaron, attempting not to sink your talons into his shoulder again as the four person party head across the bar towards your father, and sisters. Your father seems to be unawares looking frantically around the bar, as your twin bobbles on his shoulder. Ciel stands next to him, his hand holding onto her wing, as he searches.

“Steven, my old mate! How are you? Did you lose something?” Aaron says with a chuckle as the party catches your father unawares.

“Aaron, good to see you, but right now I need your help. Have you seen-“ your father begins as he looks up from his search and notices you perched on his friend’s shoulder.
“How did?”

“Aye, she found us for you, Steven. Quite, the adventurer this one.” Gorgram pipes up from below looking up at you.

Dice System is 1d100, Best of 3 rolls, Roll over the DC.
There are sometimes multiple DCs to a single roll ranging from Critical Fail-Major Fail-Failure-Success-Major Success-Critical Success.

There will be 10-15 minutes for voting and updates will take place on average of 20-40 minutes after I call the vote.

After all sessions I will stick around for Q&A. Feel free to ask me silly questions, tell jokes, and hang out with your QM.

Sorry it’s a bit late, still building that basement closet.

You puff out your feathers with pride ruffling them up, you an adventurer! Just like in all those games you played back when you were a human. Only this time its actual adventurers telling you that you could be one, and not a prompt! You feel so giddy and excited, you glance over to your father’s shoulder where your twin perches and with a big smile flap your wing in a wave. She shudders a bit but waves back a small smile on her face.

Your father glances over you, perched on Aaron’s shoulder. “Ya, the twins are something else. Hard keepin them still. Especially that one.”

“They’re adorable Steven, but three girls in one year?” Oma says walking over to Steven and stroking Ciel’s hair gently. Your older sister flinches at first but relents as the definitely not and elf, strokes her hair.

“And another on the way, Ariel is at home watching the egg.” Your father replies with a chuckle.

“Speaking of Ariel, how is she, I’d love to have a chat sometime with her.” Lydia says in her voice that is far too soft for her large frame.

“Same as always. You know her. And you all know you are free to drop by at any time. Speakin of, what are all of you doing in Treebreak?” Your father asks his friends.

“Well, Oma finally decided to hang up her boots after our latest run. Planning on settling down, so we came back here to where it all began.” Aaron says with reminisce.

“Really? Why I’d never guess.” Your father says shocked looking over to the pointy-eared lady stroking your sister’s brown locks.

The not!elf seems to flinch with all the attention brought to her. “Yeah, figured it was about time. I have plenty of stories and gold so I’m set on the adventuring life and well-“
>>
>>41529696
“She found a man.” Gorgram says flatly, the dwarf stroking his luxurious beard.

Oma blushes and fidgets mussing with Ciel’s hair.
“Well now, I have to hear about this. How about we sit for a bit, catch up.” Your father says with a hearty chuckle as he slides a chair out from a nearby table.

>>41529720
Your father sits down in his chair, Aaron sitting down next to him, and the rest of the group filling in in order around the wooden table, the chairs squeaking as they move and settle. You wave to your twin, motioning her to come join you on the muscular man, but she fidgets on her perch eyeing your talons and- oh looks like there is a tiny bit of blood from where you grabbed to hard earlier. You give a little shrug and flap again for her to join you but she doesn’t relent… you guess that’s understandable.

“So start from where I left, we’d just finished clearing Dejai’s keep.” Your father says as he settles down and motions to the bar to bring him and his friends a round, the minotaur bartender nodding as he turns to start pouring ale.
Hmmm… his horns sure look like a nice spot to perch, decently tall, good view of the bar, maybe you could… you shake your head. What’s gotten into you today, suddenly wanting to find a nice spot to rest your talons?

Aaron begins “Well, we headed out from there towards the East where we-“ you try to listen to the story but your eyes begin darting around the room in search.

In search, for the best perch! There was that Spider-lady you saw earlier maybe you could climb on her, oh hey where did she go? No matter, the chandelier would be a great spot, you could see everything from the the antler and tusk chandelier all you need to do is fly up there and, oh wait, not enough feathers to fly up there yet. There are a couple of patrons with horns and the bar tender himself but… you glance over to your left and there is the tower of cloth that is Lydia. Maybe you could just climb the mountain and have a good view from the top of her hat, all it would take is-

You shake your head again. No, Sam, you got them so you could hear about Dad, now is not the time to climb his friends.

“-and that’s how we defeated the horse-bandits.” Gorgram says as he finishes the story and another mug.

>>
>>41531061
How long were you out of it?! You better get to learning about Dad’s backstory while you still have the time!

“H-Hey!” you say puffing out your chest and flapping your wings to get everyone’s attention. “I still wanna know about Dad and his stories. Was he a brave adventuwa, did he make lotsa gold, how did he and mama meet?” you say taking attention from around the table.
“Sweetie that’s not-“ your father goes to say before he is interrupted.

“Haha, well if ya insist we got pleantyo stories for ya girls.” Gorgram says with a grin. “Just tell Uncle Gorgram what you wanna hear about.”

While I was very tempted to vote for How mom met dad, both parents know that story, so we can probably get some version of it later. Dad's origin story might be harder to get!

You think hard for a long moment, there are so many things you could ask his old adventuring team, how they met? Their biggest score? What about the biggest monster they ever fought? Or the biggest bad guy they ever took down?
No, you knew what you must do. You must simultaneously learn about Mom and Dad!

“Hey, how did Mom and Dad meet anyway?” You wonder aloud to the group.

“Ah, sweetie maybe you should ask-“ your dad begins before he is cut off by the laughter of Aaron and Grogram.

“Well, there is a story that’s a hoot and a half. Where do we begin. Well, back when your father here had just joined up as an adventurer what would you say fifteen years ago, Oma?” Aaron asks the woman.

“Closer to sixteen.” Oma replies as she continues to stroke a captured Ciel who got dragged up into the not!elf’s lap.

“Tat’s right about sixteen.” Grogram says nodding along.

“Right, about sixteen years ago, yer dad here had just joined up with us and we were still helpin him adjust to the adventurer life see.” Aaron begins.

“Bullcrap, we we’re all just starting out. And Grogram and Oma, you were’nt even there.” Your father interjects only to be hushed by the party.

“So as I was saying. Me an Lydia here figured that we should start out simple and do some tasks for the village of Waeldestone, poor town was overrun by goblins working as robbers on the main road. Couldn’t get a caravan in or out of the place.” Aaron continues the story.

“Truly a dreadful time.” The mountain of a woman interjects and your eyes dance over her form, you could easily climb her, best seat in the house right on top of that hat. Your talons extend on their own and you start grasping at air reaching for the heavy robes that cover the incredibly tall lady.

>>
>>41533243
“Well anyways, yer father, me, Lydia, we go out and act as protection for this one caravan headed from there to this place here, Treebreak. And what do you know goblins attack us on the road. So we fight em off, but they use up all our day light before they scamper off into the woods…” Aaron seems to pause and look at you for a moment. You have left his shoulder and have begun your ascent up Lydia’s robes flapping your small wings to maintain balance as you ascend her form.

“Uh hunh, then what.” You reply as though nothing is out of the ordinary.

“Ahem, well… we draw straws for the night watch, make sure they don’t come back try to ambush us. So I get first watch, Steven got second, Lydia third. Well, my watch goes uneventful so I swap off with your father and nod off. Next thing I know, I’m being woke up by Lydia who is tending to a wounded Steven and what do you know, he’s got a Harpy chick, uhh… little kid, not much bigger than your sister over there, scared as can be.” He motions to Ciel in reference. As he does this you find yourself at a rather soft plateau more than halfway up your ascent, you settle down on the soft spot to regain your energy for the final push for the summit. Lydia remains unfazed by you adventure up her. Your father looks like he couldn’t be more embarrassed, Oma seems in shock, and Gorgram is about a moment from losing his sides. Aaron continues the story…

“Apparently, he heard screaming off in the night and found the goblins that ambushed us with the little bird in a cage, preparing a fire to roast her. And your father, being the reckless lummox he is, charged in there all gung ho to find glory. He fought brave and hard, and in the end, killed off half the raiding party and drove off the other half all by himself, but not before being cut and batter from here to Rutherglen. So he took the harpy they were gonna have for dinner and brought her back to the carrivan. So Lydia here bandages the two of them up, and we wind up taking care of the harpy kid for the next few days before we got here in Treebreak. Here we found on of the kid’s sisters, and she took her off our hands. And that’s it.” Aaron finishes his story as you gaze down upon all from the highest perch one could attain by talon alone, all eyes on your splendor.

You flap your wings in glory. Rocking Lydia’s hat slightly as you have triumphed over the mountain of a woman that is Lydia, you scaled her form, starting all the way down at her arm, resting at base camp, and finally reaching the summit. Now you can mark down two adventures from which you have attained great heights, the scaling of the home tree, and the climbing of Mt. Lydia!

Then some questions begin ringing in your mind. “So wait… Mama was small like me 16 years ago?” you ask to the people gathered below. “If Dad is so much older why does he always lose wrestling then?” you wonder aloud to the small gathering.

Grogram finally loses it and the dwarf bursts out in buzzed laughter, Aaron stifles a grin, and your father rises from his seated position.

“Ok, that’s enough of that for today.” He says reaching up as far as he can to grab you off of his tall friend’s hat. You dance away attempting to keep your perch but Dad eventually gets you in a gentle squeeze, plucking you from the summit and bringing you back down to his level.

“I’ll be back later. Come on, Ciel” he says to your sister, who jumps up from Oma’s lap and begins hopping after Dad.

“Wait-“ you stutter out “they didn’t answer my questions!” you say as you are dragged away like someone who was just read their rights, tucked under your father’s arm as he carries you out of the bar.

“Say hi to your wife for us Steven!” Aaron calls out as the four of you leave the pub.
