Topic: Tales from the Smuggler's Moon
Subject: Loose Ends at the Rusty Hook
No longer aiming to knock some sense into the mob, Khash eagerly sought a way out of the chaos that wracked the Rusty Hook. Nursing his sore ribs with one hand, Khash figured it was high time for him, and his small acquaintance, a halfing, to get out before things got ugly; Khash had nearly killed a man, and the temperament of the conscious patrons, toughs, and riff-raffs was leaning towards increased violence. Besides, Jarek had started moving everyone out, and Khash knew better than to keep him waiting, else Jarek begin to worry and dive back into this mess to find him.
Even now the masses that filled the tavern were surprisingly rowdy, disregarding Khash's usually intimidating size. More than once he had to swat away a drunken salt wielding a stolen cudgel, chair leg, or the shattered remains of a tankard. To the half-orc's growing concern, there were also a number of fools who attempted to pull the halfling off his shoulder and into the crowd. Each attempt met Khash's fist, but it was enough to make his small companions eyes grow wide with terror each time; they needed to get out. Luckily, from his vantage point upon Khash's shoulder, Braydyn was able to keep a steady eye on the door, and the activity between them and their destination.
The continued fluxuation of battle had forced Khash to navigate back to a familiar set of tables to avoid further conflict. The first was the fragmented remains of the table where he had left Taro, the fool who had started this mess. The other half-orc was no longer present, a fact which Khash took special note of despite the knowledge that he had broken Taro's arm; he was too dangerous to simply disregard. The next was where the crew had started dealings with "Captain" Bobo. The half-orc shuddered, recalling the creepy talking monkey. The fight had, for the most part, allowed him to ignore the ever increasing presence of magick in his life lately, something he'd rather be without. It was at this table the he noticed an overturned bottle of rum, and a man shoving spilt coins back into their sack; seemed Jarek had forgotten his things, luckily so had most of the bar. Khash stopped just short of the man, causing Braydyn to give a start; the halfing had been preoccupied scanning the crowd and feared a sudden attack.
Looking to the halfling Khash merely shrugged, forcing Braydyn to hastily grab the half-orc's shoulder to stay upright. "Seems me brudda fergot sum things."
Braydyn could only return a incredulous look, unable to speak his mind. I've really gotten into a mess this time.... why.... why, why, why are we stopping... we dont have time
Breaking his gaze the halfling looked to the door longingly before accepting the delay.
Chuckling at his small friend's lack of response, Khash advanced. "I'll be takin dat" The half-orc placed a hand upon the man's shoulder, causing him to freeze; it seemed he thought himself forgotten by the crowd and instantly tensed upon being discovered. "Hand it o'er an ye kin jus walk away."
The glint of steel was too quick for Khash to notice, as the man swivelled about with a knife drawn, planning to slash at the half-orc's wrist. Luckily the anxious halfling was faster then the assaulting man, producing a small dagger from within his damp clothes and deflecting the knife enough to stop the blow from landing. Shocked, the man had little time to think as Khash's fist knocked him aside. Hastily, the half-orc snatched the coin-purse and the remnants of the rum. "We need to move! Now! No more delays!" Braydyn's insistence wasn't unwarranted, for the man to pull a knife was another matter entirely.
With Jarek's possessions secured, Khash redoubled his efforts to escape the tavern. Barrelling his way through anything he couldn't avoid, and receiving various blows in the process. Braydyn held on for dear life, kicking away the few attempts to snatch him from his perch, and muttering a stream of curses. When push came to shove the pair final broke through the crowd, crashed out the door, and tumbled down the steps. From the ground, both looked up to see Jericho waiting, an eyebrow raised at their display.
Rising to his feet with a sheepish grin, Khash produced the coin-purse in one hand and the remnants of the rum in the other. Braydyn on the other hand was scowling as he dusted himself off.
"Ahoy Cap'n," the half-orc chuckled, stifling a groan over his sore ribs "ye fergot somtin."

Topic: The Leather Coats Avengers
Subject: Decision Time - Toraad
Toraad could only frown as the hills broke away to plains. The Kobolds had been dispersed from the combined might of the companions, but the scale of the assault bothered him. Surely the wave of creatures was not Steel answering Toraad's call for a chance to prove himself to his fellows; no singular champion of Steel could hope to vanquish such a horde, especially armed as they were.
And then there was the split-second warning Rextugenous had provided. While it had allowed them to repel the attack, these particular kobolds concerned Toraad; there had been little time to think on the bard's warning during the exchange and Toraad determined he would need to find out more later.
Between the presence of a large force of goblins, to a hidden ambush of countless kobolds, this simple escort job was certainly becoming interesting. From his past experiences, something seemed off to the dwarven cleric.
The slowing of the horses broke Toraad's chain of thought; it seemed they'd cleared the threat - for now. Tracks were observed, showing the goblins had also left the trail. Without an impending sense of assault the caravan slowed, allowing the horses to rest. Fredrico soon called for a halt so that the group could decide upon their next move.
"We be about 20 miles away from the city of Lasch ... which means maybe 10 miles or less from the Forest of Frie ... So what say ye my stout hearted guards ... Do we make camp here ... or do we press on towards Lasch for a few miles more?"
Ignoring his desire to avenge their riders by pursing the goblins, Toraad spoke up :
"The goblins may be off our path, but lets na forget what dey did. We dunna wan ta shar da fate o' our companions at da hans o' dem kobolds."
The dwarf frowned for a moment, but continued.
"Kobolds be cowards, less'n dey 'ave numbers. Dey were org'nized, an' we dispersed dem once, but dey weren't expecting that. But me thinks dey do now, an' despite der losses thar still be more'o dem than us. T'ween da time we fled an' now dey may'ave regrouped an' moved ta pursue.
Both da horses an ourselves will need ta rest eventually, but I says we should keep movin, at leas for now."
Toraad stopped then, turning to look at his companions.
"What says you friends?"

Topic: LC Avengers QnA
Subject: Interesting...
... thus would lead to a few other thoughts...
such as my movement being only 20ft/round( so slow...) however, unamoured it's doubled (yay monk abilities), which means I wouldn't slow the movement of the caravan...
however it may be too early on to be that trusting... especially of an elf (sorry, can't rightly help that)... and, what with poison arrows behind us, without the protection of my armour....

Topic: LC Avengers QnA
Subject: 1 vote for Press On
Although Toraad would love to spend time gutting kobolds or goblins, superior numbers from both foes makes it rather impossible, to the point where even I dwarf's stubbornness will yield. So, working with Toraad's merc experience lets get down to it:
The goblins seem to have shifted out of our path, but seeing their tracks should be a reflection of past events. Considering our twelve riders were slaughtered by a large force as they were setting up camp, I don't think we want to do the same (especially since the current number in the caravan is 12, (I believe) there are more kobolds than goblin, and they wielding poison weapons to boot).
Kobolds are cowardly if outnumbered, or even if reasonably threatened. Their strength comes in numbers and semi-organization; they were organized, we dispersed them - they weren't expecting that from us but now they are. Even suffering the losses we cost them they still greatly outnumber us, and between the time we fled and now could have easily regrouped and moved to pursue...
Consequently, the events from earlier in the day must be accounted for. We're each down a spell, which isn't the biggest deal, and we're unhurt (Rex is ~fine?), but there is the matter of physical exhaustion that limits our perception and slows the horses; this isn't the elder scrolls, we can't keep moving indefinitely.
Even still, the additional distance could be life saving by current event standards (or a walk into a trap by shear suspicions... the caravan seems to attract a lot of attention). As such, I plan to voice to move on.
EDIT: grammar/spelling... again
