Topic: ~*Whom Gods Annoy*~
Subject: Destination
Hmmm... Nothing really to indicate who they were or where they had come from. A fair bit of loose coin, but no jewelry or other valuables, and no supplies. The men must have a camp somewhere about. Well, it could easily be miles from here, so there was little point in worry about that. Still, there was the one with the crossbow still. he might have been a leader or somesuch, so there was perhaps a good reason to at least find him and see if anything he had might indicate something.
Toby casually stood from his search and placed the coins in a pouch at his belt, walking to where the other man had fallen. Necessary? No, but taking a minute now could save them no end of problems later.
Sadly, nothing here either. Pocketing the half-dozen or so coins not lost in the seeming gallons of blood staining the ground, he turned to look towards the rising smoke. "Well, if that be the destination, no sense in wasting any more time here."

Topic: Copywrite Police?
Subject: Wrong
Yeah, that's literally an unwarranted search, which bull. That's what we call a police state, and it's just wrong.
Secondly, it is NOT stealing to DL copyrighted material. It's not even actually copyright infringement (the infringement is in making it available to others). Understand, if you buy a blank CD, DVD, VHS or other blank medium of data storage, you are already paying the RIAA money, just in case, because it MIGHT be used for piracy. THAT'S stealing, unless you actually do use it for piracy, and it's government-enforced stealing, no less.
Copyright laws are seriously screwed-up in the modern world (you can place a lot of the blame on Disney, sadly enough), and there's really almost nothing you or I can do about it. One of things we can do is to not let people tell us things that are demonstrably untrue on the subject, like calling software piracy "stealing." Like remembering that if you've ever bought blank media, then you HAVE paid for downloads and unauthorized copies. Like writing your representatives and explaining to them repeatedly, and in great detail, how screwed-up it is for copyrights to last over a century, or to "protect" a work long out of publication and completely otherwise unavailable to the public. Like not taking crap off of old-media flipping out because they are failing to adapt to the changing world, and trying to hold back technology and terrorize their customer base rather than face the world as it is becoming.

Didn't one of them have a crossbow? Was that an oversight, or do I need to go look for that one separately?

Yeah, I just saw it, and the plot made me want to cry.

Still, it was a fun movie.

Subject: Win and Awesome
"You're very good at crowd control."
The words broke Toby free of the thought drifting through his mind. "I do what I can," he replied with a smile and a wink, his wrinkled features crinkling easily along the laugh lines etched into his skin. "Don't let this old face fool you, young lady, I'm as spry as a man half my age." Casually shouldering his shield, he quickly searched the fallen men, looking for any sign of who they were or where they had come from, as well as any coin they might have from previous victims.
"...and a good thing, too," he called over his shoulder, waving a hand in Chancer's general direction," not like that one was much help in a fight." He tossed another wink Iskanna's way, blue eyes twinkling mischievously, "now don't get me wrong here, not all men are fighters, and far be it from me to call a man a coward for trying to save his own skin, but come my age, you see things a mite differently. Ain't like my skin has much value these days except maybe it's make a passable pair of boots. I'll look after the skin of lovely young ladies, it seems a bit more worth saving to me."
That was Toby's way - rugged, lighthearted most of the time, and often rather more harsh than would be polite if he wasn't quick with a smile and a laugh to take the sting away... at least when people were watching. Sometimes, as he stood watch in the night, ever alert, sleepless, it was plain that Toby had lived a harsh life, and his memories pained him more often than not.
He was clearly man advanced in years, long white hair and the wrinkles of a long life on the road readily attested to that, but he was in fine physical shape. He was tireless and relentless, standing watch every night until long after everyone else slept and yet rising before the sun each morning. He seemed to always wear his armor, and never so much as shifted the weight of the shield slung over his shoulder on a long march, his marching feet as steady and unceasing as the tides.
He had not spoken of his past, and in fact rarely spoke of himself at all except in reference to his years and how they compared to thse around him, but he would listen at great length to anyone who cared to speak. He seemed to share deeply in the feelings of those around him, their hopes and dreams becoming his own. He would laugh with their happiness and mourn with their sorrows, always ready to lend an ear. He added little to most conversations beyond a friendly smile or a soft pat on the shoulder, but it often seemed more than enough.
When asked, he always insisted that his life was little different from that of most people, and that if it seemed interesting in comparison, that was all an illusion, and would say no more on the subject. His interest, it seemed, lie far from his own troubled past.

Topic: ~*Whom Gods Annoy*~
Subject: Sorry, Iskanna
Them stubbornly rose to their feet, trying to continue the fight... now a few of them had gotten close, and despite the lash of his whip and the magic of his companion, they seemed unwilling to break off. Most bandits were not so tenacious, preferring to live to rob another day. Either these men were truly desperate or something else was going on.
Either way, there was no time for idle wondering now, the raiders were dangerously close, and though they had failed to harm Toby, his companion didn't seem to be as a hardy as he. Few were.
Slashing the whip furiously, Tobe did everything he could to keep the men grounded and immobile, focusing on preventing them from moving past him. Whatever happened, he would rather die than let these men harmthe innocent behind him.
OOC: Pretty much the same plan as before, except readying an action to trip anyone who manages to move past me (like if an AoO misses or good tuble roll or something).

Topic: ~*Whom Gods Annoy*~
Subject: Some people claim that there's a Grugg to blame...
As he walked forward, a bolt from the crossbow bounced off the breastplat of his armor, and for a moment, Toby wondered if Ishkanna undestood that he had expected her to take care of the man with her bow. No time to worry about that now, as the rest of the men charged him, quickly closed the distance between them... Well, they tried to.
Seeing his opening, Toby lashed out with his whip, pulling the legs out from under the lead bandit and leaving him a stinging welt across the body for his trouble.
Toby felt the wind of an arrow ripple his long white hair as it flew past, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the crossbowman go down, blood spraying from his throat. Apparantly Ishkanna was entirely on the same page. Taking the time to aim a shot like that was more than forgiveable, especially since no harm had come from the crossbowman's rushed shot.
"You men might want to reconsider your profession," he said, lashing his whip so that the cracks echoed off the nearby rocks. "There's nothing but death for you here."
OOC: Readying an action to attack anyone who looks like they're going to make some sort of ranged attack, and if they start provoking AoOs, I'll still be using trip attacks.

You thought it was just a myth, didn't you? The fact that it hasn't completely died yet is a testament to how strong a game you have here. Keep fighting it, though, maybe you can make it go into remission...

You take all the fun out of life... Now how am I going to run around screaming "Blood for the Blood God!"?
I guess that means a feral ork shaman is completely out as well...
...and the squats haven't been supported for years now.
I guess it could be worse. At least you aren't requiring people to be those stupid Eldar cone-heads.

Just got in the game, and we're already outnumbered three to one... Grugg pulls no punches around here, huh? Hope Reralae takes down that crossbowman, I'm more of a melee type.

Topic: ~*Whom Gods Annoy*~
Subject: Searching for my lost shaker of... Alpha
Bandits... Men who lived in the wilderness waiting for a chance to take from others rather than learning to do for themselves. More often than not, such men were perfectly willing to kill to get what they wanted, and this particular group had likely done so many times. Why else shoot from hiding? Luckily the man with the crossbow had missed, and young Ishkanna had not been wounded.
She was perhaps not entirely confortable around Toby, his tireless way marking him as different, but he had grown rather fond of her in their travels. She was clearly one who would prefer to make peace with nature than despoil it, and that touched Toby in a deep place, a place from his own youth, so very many years ago.
A frown played across his wrinkled features, the skin tanned and dark as leather from many years wandering under the sun. These men were wickedness of the worst sort and innocent blood would not be spilled by them if he could do anything to stop them. He could do no less while he yet lived.
Seeing that his companion carried a bow, he trusted her to handle the one with the crossbow, and unshouldered his shield, the light dragonhide as strong as steel darkly reflecting the morning sunlight. Calmly he strode directly towards the men rushing over the rocks, seeming to grow slightly with every step, as though the coming battle already filled him with strength and power. As he walked, he uncoiled a long length of leather from his belt, gripping it tightly in one hand as he advanced behind his shield, cold blue eyes watching for an opening in the men's guard. There were many of them, but Toby was not fighting for the first time, and though they might underestimate him because of his age, he was still as fast as he had ever been, and it was speed which would win this fight today...
OOC: Readying my weapon and shield and walking forward (unless they close the distance first). Using trip attacks to try to prevent them from getting past me and taking out Ishkanna. Toughness Aura in case they manage to close.
