Isn't that the guy we are looking for? Maybe we can all look for him together? the old Dwarf women suddenly becomes an average looking male human.

"Somehow I doubt it will be as easy as that," replies Ianward as he takes a defensive stance, grabbing his shield.

"Now, how shall we solve this? You're sorely mistaken if you think your little act is going to have any effect, so let me ask you, what do you want with him? I'll suggest we part ways this time, unless you have other ideas in mind" he tells the armored man.

I've only been in the isles for a few days, but somehow: history (1d20+1=15) Hooray for abstract systems

Sound of Stone puts his sling away, but keeps both it and his spear in easy reach on his hip and back respectively.

Sound of Stone lowers his voice, just loud enough for the party to hear. "The other day, when I was coming into the city, I met some men in armor like that. They were from a place called Theotocopolis."

Artemis is puffing when he stops running. His hands on his knees.

"Whoa... whoa... Hold up..." His hand up before him.

He straightens up. "So are what you really asking is, 'have we seen Thogorius?' or are you really asking 'do we have to eliminate these guys so they don't find him first?' "

"Because I'm thinking you know the answer to number 1. And you are not going to be happy with the answer to number 2."

Artemis slides his sword out of his scabbard.

"Oh, yes?" says the soldier, though who he's answering is not clear. "In that case - Get them!"

[sblock=terrain]The various stand, fountains, etc offer cover and count as very difficult terrain (3 squares to enter). Once inside, you have cover against melee and ranged attacks but your own melee attacks have a -2 penalty to hit.

I hope is clear what do each token represent.[/sblock]

GM:

Remember to detail your posts as much as you feel it's neccesary - everything you don't accurately say I have to deduct or ask. That may be time consuming for me, or delaying to the game, or just not what you wanted to do.

OOC:

Give me a couple of minutes until I've finished laughing at the token faces.

"Bad move" replies Ianward as he quickly moves to take care of two of the thugs.

As his blade bites deep into both of his chosen foes, he lets a nasty grin to appear on his face.

[sblock=Ack! So fast!] I forgot to mention that I have Battlefront Shift, which allows one ally to shift half their movement before battle begins. Maybe not so much of a problem this battle, as they are all on one side of us, but it could be very helpful later. If Sound or Bones wants to use it now, just go ahead. [/sblock]

Sensing trouble, Bones gives Domenicos a wink and slips around behind one of the market stalls, attempting to stay out of sight. He quickly draws a dagger and throws it end-over-end at one of the halberd-wielding goons.

[sblock=Actions]Move: move to K4 with Stealth check to hide (if allowed) 1d20 + 9 = 10.
Minor: Draw dagger.
Standard: Throw dagger at halberdier (combat adv from hiding not included) 1d20 + 8 vs. AC = 22 for 7 damage, and possibly 11 extra damage from sneak attack.[/sblock]

[sblock=Stats]Bones, level 1 human rogue -- hp 29/29; AC 16, Fortitude 13, Reflex 17, Will 12; available: action point, easy target (daily), second wind, torturous strike; expended: --[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Wow a lot happened fast, I'll try to post more often, but I'm not sure I'll have much of a chance to do more than one post per day -- sure would have loved to try the secret thieves' handshake before brawling... next time, perhaps.[/sblock]

Sound of Stone dashes into the center of a nearby knot of adversaries, his lower set of arms reaching behind him as he goes, drawing his spear and passing it to the upper pair.

With a clacking screech - his insectioid ki-ai - he lashes out suddenly, striking his foes with both ends of his spear in a lightning fast flurry of blows, that leaves the two weaker thugs sprawled unconscious or dying. With his free hands, he lashes out at the two remaining assailants, raking his biscuits claws across their faces and bodies.
