Yarl looks up from his looting to yell at Nunyet

He is fine. He ain't here to fight.

#102 Post by **rredmond** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:27 pm

Nunyet just looks at Yarl, not in any aggressive way, but in a calm and assessing manner and replies, "we are all here to fight when it comes to it, and that wasn't my question. Though now it is, because if there's someone in the company not willing to take up arms, then this can be a liability in combat." Nunyet shrugs, "It's good to know that he serves a different purpose, though" and he turns again to Phâramac, "your best bet is to move to the center of the group, not the back, as smarter brigands would have surrounded us." At this Nunyet bows to Phâramac and nods to Yarl.

"Shall we continue on," Nunyet says to the group.

"Aye, let's leave a message for any would-be robbers, though."

Francisco drags the bodies off to the north side of the road and lines them up so their feet are facing the road and their heads are facing north. Then, using his sword, he hacks off the left hand of each corpse and places it on its chest.

Once that is all done, he wipes his blade clean, sheathes it, and says, "It's a gruesome task, but if it makes someone think twice about highway robbin', then maybe it's worth it." Then he picks up his crossbow, rests it in the crook of his arm, and resumes walking.

Oy. I'd forgotten about the two hirelings Francisco paid for, too! They should definitely stay in the middle of the group, as well.

Also... probably not a bad idea to immediately split any loot we find, as long as it isn't huge amounts of coin that would take forever to count.

Brok is quick to ensure that the brigand leader is relieved of any items he might be carrying, including the tunic* he's wearing, prior to covering the party with his bow as the ranger sets to leaving his message.

As he's finishing up, the squire offers up some observations to the others. "They wear heraldry that signifies they are from Zevorond, the neighboring province to the west of Newiron. Odd that the town they were looking for is on the border of Zevorond and Newiron. Surely they would be aware it's true location..." He looks around their perimeter to ensure they aren't being watched. "Anyway, we'd be keen to mark well the faces and likenesses of the ones that fled, lest we see them again. Admittedly, twas a shame we could not have... questioned one them a bit?" he offers, eyebrows up and smirky grin included!

OOC: * Toni, just wanted to make sure to note that I was taking a Zevorond tunic!

Cis wipes the blood from his spear with a rag while addressing the hirelings, first the younger lads "They are right, you should stay close."

Then Phâramac "Same for you, this was not a time for you too fight. But that time may come. An Orc is more savage than cowardly thief, keep thinking that. Things will not get easier."

Cis put a flat palm to the ground, and say a brief prayer in his native dialect.

As the activity of securing the battle site winds down, Kurn says simply "let's get moving."

#107 Post by **ToniXX** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:38 am

Okay guys, I'm back. Sorry for the extended absence, and thanks for your patience.

Please post your actions. Unless you plan to make camp, please post your marching orders too. Remember, we're about an hour until sunset, and you're traveling roughly west on a fairly major road.

It will probably take me a little time to get back into things, as I haven't cracked a D&D book in a month or so. So be patient and remind me of things if I forget.

Got it, Arg! Will you be donning it or just keeping it in your pack?

#108 Post by **Alethan** » Wed May 02, 2012 2:44 pm

(... oh, right, Francisco...

)

Francisco nods at Kurn and says, "I agree. Let's put some distance between us and this mess before we make camp."

When everything is packed up, he takes the lead and gets the party back onto the road, heading towards the temple.

Maybe try to put as much distance away from the small fight as possible, until it looks like there is about 15 or 20 minutes to nightfall? Then pull off to the side of the road to make camp? What does everyone else think?

Argennian · #109 Post by **Argennian** » Wed May 02, 2012 3:50 pm

Brok makes sure to secure any and all items the brigand leader had on his person and will then ready his bow and an arrow, preparing to follow Francisco and the others.

Yarl loots what he can and moves in line muttering to himself.

Brok falls into marching order at his regular spot, with bow ready and arrow to hand, and keeps his eyes busy in the direction the surviving brigands fled, and also the rearguard.

OOC: Sounds good to me. Brok will dutifully follow Francisco's lead here.

Okay, before we move on, I'd better let you know what you found when searching the dead brigands:
The leader had 7gp on him, as well as a pouch of 4 gems and a well-crafted dagger with a fancy leather sheath. The others had 5gp, 6gp, 5gp, and 4gp on them, and nothing much else of interest besides their clothing, armor (leather in all cases), a small shield and their weapons (short sword in all cases). None of this stuff was particularly hard to find, and if anyone (thief) wants to check further, let me know. (do we even have a thief in the party? I forget)

OOC: We have our 3rd level thief, Kurn Briar (played by migellito), and Brok operates as a 1st level thief. I know that Brok would certainly urge Kurn and the others to give these dead blokes a good friskin before we make 'em into a message! He'd be hoping for a note, a trinket or any kind of clue that might proffer something about them, their origin and if they might've been expecting us...

27gp
(4) gems (unknown value)
well-crafted dagger w/fancy sheath (check to see if magical)

I'll update the treasure thread.

I think we'd be OK with NPCing Migellito's character to search the bodies, don't you?

#115 Post by **Alethan** » Fri May 04, 2012 1:57 pm

Francisco eyes the fancy dagger and tests its edge with the tip of his finger. He puts it back in its sheath and holds it out in front of him.

"Kurn, Brok... either of you boys want to put this dagger to work next chance you get and see if it happens to be more useful than a regular one?"

Kurn finds nothing else of real value on the brigands. On the leader he finds a few scraps of paper, and on one, written in common, is the following:

26 Deilan - The Windcaster will dock on the east side. See Inetor.

Brok hands the ranger the dagger he's just found on the brigand leader.

Brok smiles. "I would be honored, Francisco!" he exalts with a slight bow and flourish of his hand, taking the ornate weapon back from the ranger.

Brok chastises himself for not finding the note on the brigand leader. "Well done, Kurn! This is the kind of treasure that I was really interested in." Brok will ask to hold the note, so that he may study the writing. He'll offer the dagger to Kurn.

Edit: marking note and gems/7gp from brigand leader on character sheet. Note: this is considered party treasure and is just to notate whose carrying what. Brok gave the dagger to Kurn.

Just so you all know, today is 6 Delian.

#119 Post by **ToniXX** » Mon May 07, 2012 6:40 pm

Day 2 (6 Delian) – around sunset

You continue down the road for the next hour or so and get about two to three miles away from the encounter with the brigands. Nothing happens during this time, and the sun has just slipped below the hills to the west.

Right now you are on the Newiron Road, west of where if forks off the Griel route, approximately near the 'O' in 'Newiron Hills' when looking at the map. (http://www.unseenservant.us/user_files/ ... ess_lg.jpg).

#120 Post by **Alethan** » Mon May 07, 2012 6:57 pm

Francisco does some quick figuring as he watches the sun set below the hills and the sky begin to darken more rapidly.

"Way I figure it, we're not far from a trailhead that should be coming up on our left. But the gods of light have seen fit to leave us here... I say we pull off the road a quarter mile or so to the north and make camp. What does everyone else think?"
