Unhalad's knock knock knocking at your door...!
Last few steps of the Sa-Hareth stretch come with Unhalad's mini 16-17 June siege event and the ensuing few days of marauding. Feel free to use that post as a log base, or do your own thing, and discuss any character plans here.
Many thanks to Kalyn, who is lending us Winnie as effective live bait over the event! She won't... regret it...
If you want to have characters severely wounded or killed, there will be more healers and necromancers available in both options for the upcoming arc — for a fee.
The sorceress Karsa will be available on premise once she enters the farmhouse, and you are welcome to NPC her helping your character's plans. To give you an idea, Karsa's primary offensive skillset is fire, so be careful what you have her do in closed quarters. She will not be able to teleport anyone out because the swarm of undead surrounding the farmhouse make it difficult to 'land' safely.
As a result of this... unfortunate domestic development, the Merchant won't be presenting his options on the 15th as initially scheduled, and this will have to be delayed to 17 June. But! Characters should still be out of Sa-Hareth by 21-22 June. Goodbye, winter wasteland. We barely knew ye.

Which is to say that Xingchen is definitely at the farmhouse at the time of the attack and he will be doing his best to fight off the horde and/or protect those within his vicinity. I don't have anything really set in stone, so if anything tickles your fancy or you have need of another cultivator, hit me up!
Note for those not canon-familiar: His sword, Shuanghua, has the ability to seek out corpse energy. So all these undead? Got a sword goin' feral. Unfortunately, Shuanghua cannot tell the difference between totally dead undead and still somewhat alive undead (this is a problem not only here, but in canon, as well). So if anyone is of the corpse-like persuasion, please do be careful. I don't think anyone is, but one never knows. Also because he's a wizard, he can send his sword flying like a much more elegant boomerang. So, like, PLEASE really do be careful if he's in the middle of fighting.
I also wish for Xingchen to get his arm/shoulder kind of torn up (UP not OFF, he's already disabled, he doesn't need double trouble), whether it be in the heat of battle in general or while protecting someone else. And then not really notice because of the adrenaline
and because he's been through worse pain beforeuntil the adrenaline either wears off or someone points out that he's got red on him. Stealing Rakel's idea of it being the Anurr arm, too, so it can be like a badge of honor to his cult friends later. Surely this makes up for refusing the tattoo.As for other skills, he should not be your first choice in talisman-making as he probably hasn't attempted the written word in a couple years and in a rush he's more likely to make a horrible mistake instead of just a weaker talisman. But, like, he could try, if you're all desperate. What he CAN do, however, is share qi/energy with those who run on that kind of gasoline. Just don't let him drain himself. He won't kiss you, though, that's Xie Lian's MO.
I mean, unless you ask him toAnd then at the end of the day, he knows basic first aid, though with a busted arm, it's questionable how much help he'd actually be, but the option is there.What a pleasant time for everyone!
