Re: The Road North
@Roland weaved his tale of dastardly criminal masterminds stealing coppers from poor widows, interspersed with great heroics of him and his followers. Soon the guards were completely enthralled and no one stopped the human from running out the back or the small cloaked figure from sneaking out the front.
The guards asked a few questions and wanted to know what the dwarf's involvement was. The dwarf told them that the half orc on the floor had tried to steal his coin purse so he had talked hi out of it. Then the human that was with the half orc got involved and was trying to stab to the dwarf when everyone started to run. Next thing the dwarf knows the halflings are getting involved and the fiery one started throwing spells. He continues to tell them about her temper and you can see the look of admiration in his eyes. He finishes by saying if only she had beard he might have taken her for a dwarf and damn fine one at that. At this point the guards all look over at @Felicity Clover
As @Llolfaen blends into the shadows and moves slowly out of the hallway into the kitchens she see the half orc she was following slowly getting up and not knowing what to do. She also sees Ali's wolves rush outside and begin to whimper loudly.

Re: The Road North
Llolfaen realised that the half-orc was out of her reach and she knew better than risk a confrontation with the human guards. Another avenue had opened in the form of the man who'd ran out the back, the same man she'd told Ali to followed. Though Ali's creatures had started whimpering, something that Llolfaen took to be a bad sign. She went to move outside, but remained cautious for any threat,Technospawn wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 12:21 pmAs @Llolfaen blends into the shadows and moves slowly out of the hallway into the kitchens she see the half orc she was following slowly getting up and not knowing what to do.

Re: The Road North
@Ali and @Llolfaen are now in a deadly quick encounter chasing the fleeing human. Also @Ali still has a wound. They will need to describe what they do to catch the guy and if they are taking him alive.
The guards scooped up the fallen half orc and seeing no other threats hauled him out of the inn. "You people have a good day. We are taking this one in. He will spend a while in the cell."
The dwarf turned to @Felicity Clover and said "aye, you can buy me a drink. Nev'r turn down free ale." He heads over to the bar and yells "2 ales for me and 1 for mi lady friend."
The other half orc in the kitchen seeing that he was alone now waited to make sure Llofaen was gone and then snuck out the back door of the inn.

Re: The Road North
Seeing the human flee, Llolfaen gives chase. Being lighter on her feet, very few obstacles slow her down as she tries to close the distance. Needing the human to talk, she realises they need to try and take him alive. Actually trying to capture somebody is a task uncommon to her, given her line of work, and so she aims to try and tackle the human.

Re: The Road North
@Llolfaen sees the man fleeing and dashes after him. She soon closes the distance and tackles the man and the same time the wolves lunge at him grabbing his legs and one arm. Together they bring him tumbling to the ground. He squirms and pulls a dagger but he can not use it very well because Mond is jerking violently on his arm. @Llolfaen Roll athletics to avoid bumps and bruises. @Ali Roll athletics for your wolves.
The dwarf looks at @Felicity Clover and says "My name is Drunger Hammerfist. Thank ye for the ale. From Silverymoon eh? You heading back for the war? I was thinking killing some orcs might be a good way to pass the summer."

Re: The Road North
Llolfaen hadn't expected Ali's creatures, whatever she called them, to reach the man same time that she did. All of them ended up in a tussle, though they seemed to have pinned the man for the time being. Though for Llolfaen she had to contend with having to avoid the paws of the creatures, though she was agile enough to avoid being caught by an errant paw.
"Why you run?" She demanded off the man.

The human looked scared and said "please don't kill me. Are you with that powerful sorcerer in the inn? He started summoning elementals and throwing people around. The dwarf had already assaulted my companion. Then the fiery halfer started throwing curses around. I had to run, I don't want to die." He looks up at you pleading.
"Maybe I will go then. I know some tunnels close to here that will get us out of this damn cold. Might even cut a few days off the journey. They come out south of Nesme." the dwarf says.Felicity Clover wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:46 am

The mephit left the inn and wandered around for a minute before it located @Llolfaen. As it approached he could see that Llolfaen and couple wolves were restraining a human and questioning him. The mephit heard LLolfaen ask the human "why did you run?"

Oh how she just wanted to curl up with her wolves and take care of them for the rest of her life. Well, when this is all over, if it's all over and we make it out of it alive, that will be exactly what I do.

Gra'og did not like getting bitten by the mangy cur. After a second or two he shook off the wolf and pulled his sword. Then the damn elf pulled a weapon and came at him. She made contact but that little tooth pick of hers could not get through his solid armor. He would show her what a sword feels like. As he ready to swing a runt ran out of the inn and started chanting then she hurled a spell. the spell hit but did no damage. Gra'og was powerful, her weak spells would not hurt Gra'og.
Suddenly Devon started yelling then screaming. Gra'og looked over and saw the ground beneath Devon growing soft then starting to bubble. Devon was sinking into the ground but was also screaming in pain. This was too much for Gra'og. He would kill that little runt before she tried that on him. It had to be her. Turning he dashed straight at @Felicity Clover and swinging wildly he missed her completely.
@Llolfaen and @Ali will get attacks of opportunity since Gra'og broke melee
@Tyrien e'Adrianne was heading into the inn when the initial fighting and screaming had started. She had stayed back to see what was going on. After a while the guards had come and then hauled out a bruised half orc. A few minutes later she hears more yelling and 2 halflings run out of the inn and down the alley beside it. Then it sound like all hell broke loose and she could hear more screaming.

The eruption of magic signalled the two Halflings joining the fray, further tipping the odds against the Half-Orc. Though it seemed that the Half-Orc was enraged by the female Halfling flinging a bolt of magic flame at him and broke away from Llolfaen. Big mistake.

The elven woman was wrapped in her cloak with the hood up to help stave off the cold. It also hid her pointed ears. Yet her slender build was barely feminine in curves almost identifying her heritage regardless. With the commotion going on Tyrien's curiosity was piqued, particularly when she saw an elf and a pair of halflings rushing to deal with an ORC!
Whoever these folk were, they were finding out that there would be no negotiating with those kind. She knew from experience.
Her eyes narrowed and she left her staff on the ground to grip Quicksilver in her left hand. She repeated the invocation in the draconic tongue that would imbue extra magic to her arrows.

As Kampher leaps his jaws close briefly around the orcs heal before snagging his paw on a brick and releasing. Ali's desperate reach failed and passed just behind his spine, not even brushing his clothes. Mond and Jager leap away from the suddenly sinking figure beneath them.

Tyrien took in the fray and the good folk appeared to be having some difficulty stopping the orc. The dark elf, which she thought was an unusual sight indeed, also appeared to be helping the little folk, so she evaluated that the drow was perhaps an anomaly and not in league with the orc at all.
She shifted the aim of her nocked arrow. “Hoy! Do you need some assistance with that orc?” she called out

LLolfaen, Kampher and Fliss attacks did little to slow the orc but then the orc was grabbed on an floating dragon claw made of ice, and lift into the air kicking and screaming. Ignored by the others the human slipped deeper into the boil mud and until his face was covered. After a few seconds he stopped struggling.
As @Roland held the orc aloft with his dragon claw, the screaming attracted the guards back the inn. 6 guards rush down the alley way and onto the scene. "Hey, let is going on here. Everyone drop your weapons."

Tyrien was back, closer to the street at the mouth of the alley, practically among the guards bursting onto the scene from behind her. She returned the arrow back to her quiver and put the bow back as well. She had no intention of leaving Quicksilver to lie in the icy mud of a street to damage the string or wood.
She picked up her quarterstaff that also served as her walking stick, and held it as such when she straighten upright again. She commented, "It looks to be quite clear that a nefarious orc has to be dealt with. You cannot let them run around to kill innocent people."

Ali sheathed her sword and stilled her wolves, gesturing to them to bring them near and lower their heads and tails submissively to hopefully avoid the guards fear. I'll show them that my wolves are safe, but if they still chose to strike them, it won't end well. She found herself stoking her Mond's coat in anxiety, and tried to still her hand to no avail.
Ali glanced side long at the new elf. Who was she? Should she welcome her for assisting them? She knew that she had been useless in attempting to apprehend the orc, and should appreciate this elf's courage in coming to assistance. Look at the new elf Ali spoke.
"Thankyou for coming to our aid fair one." Hoping that in her nerves she had said the right greeting to an elf in this situation. Or maybe small formalities would be tossed aside as the guards were here. She thought that the others in her company didn't much care for social politeness, except for Rolland, then again, when had been the last time she'd spoken to him? Well, whatever she thought she might know about her friends about formalities, the same might not be true for this new elf.

Tyrien glanced from the guards to the human (or mostly human) woman that spoke to her. She inclined her head to acknowledge the greeting. "You are welcome, though I would not consider myself so fair. I am called Tyrien e'Adrianne. I could not stand by while one such as that," she gave a stern look towards the half-orc, "runs free to accost innocent people."
She had heard what the half-folk woman had said, confirming to Tyrien's satisfaction that she had judged the situation correctly.
"Though, it would appear that my arrows were not needed to deal with the miscreant. With a strong furry companion, you are hunter or ranger, are you not?"

As the orc falls to the ground something can be heard to snap, perhaps a leg, as the wind is knocked from him. A slight groan escaped from him before he lay rolling grabbing the leg not meant to be in such a shape.

Ali smiled at the elf, "Yes, I guess I might be called both." Ali felt calmed by this elf's attitude, she appeared to be okay with no formalities also. Hearing the orcs bone snap she couldn't help but flinching in sympathy.
"This is Mond, Kampher, and Jager." Ali said. Holding her hand out to each of her wolves as it was said.

It looked as though they were triumphant with capturing the half-orc, though Llolfaen frowned when some guards arrived in addition to an elven archer. Making sure her hood was pulled down to least she be spotted for what she was. She then stepped closer to @Ali and quietly, but curtly, stated. "We need to question the half-orc."

Tyrien nodded to acknowledge each of the wolves, as their pack leader introduced them. They appeared to be well under control. "When tamed, they certainly appear to be well behaved. I can imagine they are quite loyal." She did not make the comparison to dogs, lest she offend the huntress.
When the hooded companion rudely interjected into their conversion without any introduction, she looked over the lithe female with some scrutiny. She had not heard enough words to really catch an accent to place the woman's heritage. She commented to Llolfaen, "I don't think the guards will let you torture and extract anything meaningful from the orc after breaking up your first attempt at discussing things."

Re: The Road North
Tyrien shook her head ruefully, "Good luck with that approach. Orcs don't usually respond well to being asked nicely to answer questions. More like you will have to use brute force to convince them to give up secrets, particularly if it means stopping their brethren from aiding the invasion."
"She gets it," she added while gesturing towards the priestess of Tymora. "Withholding healing to make the orc suffer, is effectively the same thing."
After a pause to tap her chin in thought, she speculated, "Though, I had not heard of Tymora's blessed actually resorting to extortion. Yet, I applaud the tactic when dealing with orcs," she shrugged.
Turning back to unnamed Huntress, "And what are your names?" Tyrien asked.

Re: The Road North
Ali smiled at Llofean, did she need to be so prickly to the elf that had arrived. Then again, she did suppose that if Tyrien new about Llofean's heritage it wouldn't end well for her friend. "My name Ali, this is Llofean, Fliss, and. . ." Ali hesitates, knowing that only Roland would have done that trick with the ice. It was his right to stay hidden right now, she shouldn't say that he had been here. "Their my friends." Ali finished poorly. She regretted say 'and,' and hoped with her gut that maybe they would overlook that word.
Turning to Llofean Ali smiled again and said to Llofean, "Do you want to do it in private as it is personal?" Ali spoke under her breath and hoped that with her face turned away it would make it at least harder for those unknown to hear.

"From what Llofean said, you are working against the orcs warring to the north, I take it. That interests me as well as I stand in opposition to the armies of evil and darkness."
"If the guards are not willing to let you force the information out of the orc, mayhap they could be persuaded to get the answers themselves."

There was a quiet noise of disapproval from Llolfaen as Ali revealed her name, though she didn't make any vocal objections. Instead, when Tyrien suggested asking the guards to question the half-orc, Llolfaen merely stated. "Be our guest."

Then pulling her piwafwi tightly round her, she took slow and deliberate steps towards the nearest form of cover whilst making sure that the party blocked the guards' line of sight to her. It was her hope that she could slip away unnoticed and then discreetly follow as the rest of the party were escorted by the guards, thus allowing her to intervene if trouble arose.Main Account: stormwell

Tyrien listened to the guards respond to the little priestess and turned back to the cloaked elf to reply, "It would appear that the guards will allow further interrogation without my needing to interject."
"Since you are interested in the orc's connections to the drow, what are you all planning to do about it?" she asked, hanging back a bit since she was not planning to interject herself into an interrogation without further assurance her intentions were aligned with these folk she just met.
She thought there was something odd about the cloak's design the female was wrapping about herself, but nothing came to mind in recognition.

"Quiet." Llolfaen hissed in response to @Tyrien e'Adrianne's question. "I don not trust these guards."
Llolfaen's tone made it clear she wasn't interested in furthering the conversation, a point proven even more so as she moved away from the elf and then trailed after the party and the guards. She lingered outside the shack, eyeing the most way to slip inside in case trouble arose but otherwise kept out of sight.

Re: The Road North
@Paro Common knowledge of the war. The orc kingdom of Many Arrows has risen up and is craving out a kingdom above land in the Silver Marches. Silverymoon, Mithral Hall, and the elves of the Glimmerwood are fighting against the orcs and their allies. There are also a few rumors floating around that no one is sure if they are true.
1. Nesme did not want a part of the war because they hate the Companions of the Hall but the orcs brought a White Dragon down out of the spine of the world and destroyed Nesme.
2. The orcs are too petty to fight this war and the real problem is some drow that are pushing the orcs.
Most people in this area are too busy with their own problems to worry about a war that is too far away to affect them.

Tyrien glanced into the shadows where Llofaen was disappearing into with an arched eyebrow. She had not known of any corruption in the village, and resolved to keep an eye out for trouble with them. She quickened her pace to catch up to the procession in front of her into the shack where they were going to interrogate the orc.
She entered behind the others and saw the guards had locked the prisoner in a cell. That was good, since things at least had sorted out enough they could question him. She was curious how the interrogation was going to proceed after Fliss already healed the injuries she was using for leverage.

“Thank you, guards,” Fliss said as they secured the half orc in the cell. Felicity pulled up a stool and sat down facing the half orc through the bars. “How do you feel?” she asked. “Did I heal all your injuries? Are you hungry? I can send for something from the inn,” she offered. “Otherwise I have some bread I was saving.” She dug inside her cloak and pulled out half a loaf, putting it through the bars of the cell. “Some wine?” She dug a wineskin out of her bag and pushed it through the bars as well. “Now why don’t you tell me what happened?” she asked the half orc. “I came out, and you were fighting with my friends. Why was that?”
Fliss sat there and crossed her short legs, brushed back her red hair from her green eyes, and then rested her small hands on her knee as she looked at the orc.

Tyrien wasn't so sure the interrogation was going that well. The tiny priestess was proving to be awfully nice and Tyrien did not think that was going to be very productive. Observing from some distance back, she stepped over to the huntress and spoke aside to @Ali asking, "What happened in the Tavern exactly? It sounded like you all had some heated discussions already before this orc started trouble with your companions."
"Your companion lurking around outside was not exactly forthcoming on what is going on."

Before following he concentrates for a moment drawing on his heritage as he slowly fades from view wrapping himself in a shroud of power his moves more efferently and silently than ever before...

As the halfling disappears into the barn Roland recognizes a trap when he sees it and his cautious nature again comes over him. 'Time to head home, no point in getting yourself killed Rollie.'
Deciding the better part of valor Roland summons an ice mephit again linking his senses and send it to investigate while he himself teleports back to the group.
Maybe he can talk to her through the mephit, but someone who moved like that would to easily kill a great sorcerer like Roland up close.

Tyrien followed along with the broken conversations, not really hopeful that the interrogation was going to be fruitful if the response was any indication. She did not know what the other orc said, but it shut up the one talking. She looked to the floor shaking her head resignedly, but did not voice any "I told you so" about the lack of getting useful information.
Looking back to @Ali asking, "I will just take your word for it about Llofaen. You have been nice and she doesn't know me... yet, at least."
"However, she mentioned something related to the war. Were you and your companions heading somewhere that these orcs might want to stop you from going?"

Re: The Road North
Llolfaen continued to wait outside, though positioned herself where she could still to the conversation taking place inside. Alas she did not know the harsh tones of the Orcish tongue, she suspected neither did the rest of the party. Carefully something was said that could've implicated the half-orcs, it was a major advantage that the brutes held unless a spellcaster could negate that advantage with a simple spell. She doubted either of the two halflings processed such a spell, meaning this was potentially a complete waste of their time unless they found other means of getting the half-orcs to talk.

Felicity listened carefully to the orc’s story, trying to judge his truthfulness. Then the other orc yelled something she couldn’t understand, and it seemed to shut him up.
“Do you have something to add?” Felicity asked the other half orc. “I am trying to figure out what happened. If our friend attacked you first, I would like to know why, too. Where is Lolfaen?” she asked, looking around for the dark elf.

Tyrien nodded with satisfaction and replied to the guards, "Right you are to take a serious hand at interrogating them"
"As brutal as it is, that is sometimes the only way to deal with them. If you don't mind, I would like to hear the answers you torture out of them. You are going to actually question them, yes?"

Arriving back to town Roland is frustrated to hear no response form the stalker. "Well, its not like we would have caused any trouble. We just wanted to know what you needed." He says through the creature as it melts dissipating back into the elemental plane.

Roland ambled up. “I almost had one of the half orcs talking, but the other one picked a fight,” Fliss said in frustration. “I’m not sure we’ll get much out of them now.” She knew the guards weren’t likely to be gentle. “Where have you been? And where’s Lolfaen? Is Clay still out?” she asked.

Re: The Road North
Llolfaen remained hidden outside the shack, even as Roland arrived and then Felicity departed. The halfling wizard had mentioned something about a barn, though Llolfaen had realised not to take the wizard's words at face value. But the halfling cleric had deemed the barn to be important and thus went, alone, to go check it out. Course the barn was just as likely to be a complete waste of time just as it was as likely to be where the group the half-orcs were with just so happen to be hiding.
She sighed in frustration and then followed after Felicity.

Felicity crept quietly into the barn. Something was...off. The way the hay bales were stacked caught her attention. They weren’t quite against the wall, enough space left for a halfling or small elf to fit in there.
Fliss motioned for Roland to follow and pulled her rapier, creeping through the gap. It let out into an opening in the stack of bales, and a trapdoor in the floor of the barn.
“Curiouser and curiouser,” Fliss murmured, studying the trap door for any traps.

Tyrien watched the interrogation with interest. Harsh methods or torture, it pretty much looked the same to her and she felt nothing but satisfaction that they were getting some answers. She nodded as the information of importance was coming out.
“Ahh, there we go. Keep pressing him for more information on that. See if he can reveal names and locations of meetings… Eh?” She yawned and had to stifle it. She knew something was not right in the air.
Then she noticed the colored mist as a guard crumpled to the ground. She unlimbered her bow and cleared her mind, finding the void where the magic in her blood would aid her defenses.

Re: The Road North
Roland comes forward cautiously as Felicity waves him forward. Whispering in her ear. "Is this safe for us to do without the others?" Then looking to his guardians he instructs them to slowly crawl on the ground and not to touch the bails as they come in.
The slow and deliberate movements of the elementals, as their icy nature allows them to flow along the ground is amazing. Their movements like an arrow through an empty sky meets no friction.

As the red dust pops into the air Roland tries to dive to the side, but instead bounces off of his Elemental Swordsman standing next to him. Landing in a pile of the dust he begins coughing as he tries to eject the material.
"Ah! I'm dying, I've been poisoned! Felicity, I need your help!" The cowardly halfling begins before realizing his silence was essential in this situation. Then it comes to him. "Well, one thing we know for certain is they are evil. Only murders would leave a trap to kill not knowing who would come next, we could have been children or lovers playing in the hay."

Llolfaen heard the glass cracking and scrambled back as the cloud of thick red dust came billowing out of the hole where the halfling Felicity had tried opening a trapdoor. It didn't surprise her in the slightest that a trap had been set, if anything she strongly suspected that they'd been lured here no doubt as a distraction. In all honesty, she'd probably done the same."The half orcs." She simply stated, then turned and started hurrying back to the guard shack as she drew her piwafwi round her once more.

Tyrien knew trouble was coming and again tried to activate her draconic blood to infuse her with the magical power she possessed. Being outnumbered was going to be a problem, but only if she could not take out the leader right away.
She replied coldly, “Well, you could take your own advice.”
She released her arrow at the spell caster, not planning on surrendering and certainly not believing she was dealing with anyone that could be trusted to keep their word.

“I trust the guards will be a lot less friendly to us if we try to interfere,” Felicity told Llolfaen. “Do you want a nice, warm bed tonight, or would you rather get driven out of town on a rail and sleep in the cold woods, or a dank prison cell? And we’re here trying to find those friends of the half orcs.”
Fliss heard the breaking of glass, and the burst of red dust. She managed to quickly shut her mouth and not inhale the dust, though it made her eyes water and sting. She quickly backed away, coughing a bit, but managed to fight off the dust.
“Shows we’re on the right track,” Fliss said, pulling out her canteen and washing away the last of the dust.
Once the dust had settled, and Fliss had washed it out of her red hair, she crept to the edge of the trapdoor down there. “Well, looks like we know what kind of welcome we’ll get,” she noted, starting to climb down. “Keep your eyes sharp.”

Re: The Road North
Outnumbered Tyrien had not been worried until that dagger hit her in the chest. It was a fluke and one that she could not have dodged. She had guessed wrong on the danger, taking out the spell caster first. Luckily her armor had barely stopped the point from doing more than bruise her skin, a superficial nuisance that she would feel later.
She drew and jabbed her dagger at the face of the opponent the guard was helping her fend off, trying to gang up on him to get through his defenses.
