Kestra was more than happy to let the caravan guard take custody. She wasn't here to babysit criminals in the first place: it was a mere trip to study her art that brought her on the journey in the first place.
"Kestra," the Caitsith replied with a tip of her hat.
Although she noticed the...
Kestra beamed as the Gemini twin complimented her. Being unused to praise, her cheeks flushed with color as she tried to formulate a sentence.
"Nothing that a, uh, studious student would not be able to learn," she answered sheepishly. "In Vaswam, that is."
In truth, a mage would have had to...
Like the others, Kestra looked over at the wagon that the orc indicated. She would not have thought much of the coffin that formed the centerpiece of the collection, but that may be by design. The Peacekeepers made more sense to the Caitsith, particularly when the newcomer who happened to appear...
When another approached, Kestra whipped her weapon around to face the newcomer. But she relaxed once the Caitsith saw that the traveler's weapon was sheathed. She did not recognize the newcomer's voice or mannerisms as one of the caravaners. Even considering that it is odd for a someone to...
Kestra mentally sighed in relief. Perhaps she had underestimated her own skill for the orc to not simply overpower her in their duel. But the caitsith could not let the orc see that. She took her hat in hand to fan herself, flicking aside the sword and buckler so that they were not within easy...
A disappointed "oh," was all Kestra managed to say before the orc charged her again.
The caitsith wasn't about to try the same trick twice, given her heart skipped a beat the last time she slipped out of danger, instead giving more ground as the orc's attacks made it difficult for her to line...
The smell of burnt flesh assailed her before the orc could. Kestra wrinkled her nose at the scent as the sword-and-buckler brigand engaged her. She held her posture loosely, with rapier in a low ready stance while plugging her nose with the other. Kestra jabbed at the orc as he closed distance...
At the paladin's promise, Kestra knelt down and procured her bottle of ink. Drawing a quick rune of fire was easy to do in the heat of the moment, but Kestra felt that it would make sense to have more options available. But the crack and whiz of a bullet nearly hitting her broke her...
The holywoman's response was so far beyond what Kestra was expecting that she was at a loss for words. "Uhh... That was not what I meant. If you don't have rations to spare, I won't pry."
"I guess I'll just sleep on an empty stomach tonight," she yawned and stretched.
She was feeling a little...
With the caravan stopping for the night, Kestra's long nap had come to an end. She watched as the other caravaners gathered their things and pitched tents for the night. It was impossible not to notice that one of the wagons had some heavy cargo, requiring several well muscled travelers to lift...
At the snap of the cylinder returning into position, Kestra opened one eye. She had been napping for the better half of the long journey, which was not unusual for the Caitsith, but the characteristic zip of the firearm's mechanism perked her attention. She had no familiarity with the Gemini...
I was jumping on homebrew primarily because I am not that familiar with the D&D classes and didn't want to feel like I had to follow the class guidelines.

Given the looseness of the what's allowed, I've been leaning on creating something new instead of adapting my Baldur's Gate character concept. So I wanted to adapt elements of my FF14 character into the setting, so I came up with the Rune Fencer class.
So far, it's a magic based class that...
