Assassin City

[sblock] Ethan stands his ground and crosses his arms. "What is this about? My master will be rather ........ angry at being retained at this gate. Even worse so if it is as a prisoner. You will lose you position, and will probably be put to the street and starve. Maybe I will pass you someday and give you bread, then again........ I probably won't. Let me pass now."




Intimidate and then initiative roll (1d20+9=26, 1d20+3=10)

Intimidate: 26
Init: 10 dang it lol

Action: By crossing his arms, he is actually putting a hand on his barbed dagger's hilt.[/sblock]

[sblock=Ethan] The guard draws her sword with her right hand and brings the whistle around her neck to her mouth with the left, making a shrill call that is certain to alert any others nearby. The merchant gets a surprised look on his face as he watches Ethan's hands.

Several passers by scatter while others stop to stare. The guard shouts. "Spread your hands on the wagon, tis is your last warning!"[/sblock]

[sblock=Ethranor]Diane seems to be growing increasingly comfortable in Ethranor's presence, she actually seems a bit jealous of him. She does still seem bothered by the pain though. When he comes to the subject of how she ended up in this state, her expression suddenly becomes worried. "I... I don't really remember... we were... at this tavern that Alton and his brother wanted to visit. He said it was a great spot with cheap drinks just outside the walls... We got there and started drinking... and... someone helped me up. I guess I fell over... uh... Valar Morghulis! That's right... but I don't know... Where are Alton and Piggy?" She looks around again at the shabby walls. "This is the low ward isn't it?"[/sblock]

 

[OnlytheStrong]

[sblock]"I tried." Ethan draws his dagger and steps behind the merchant. "Perhaps you should put down your whistle and sword."


ooc: Ethan will have a readied action to attack the merchant. I went ahead and rolled for the attack and dmg, since I figure she will attack I am tryin to figure out a getaway lol. Stumped so far.

Attack and dmg roll (1d20+6=9, 1d4+2=3)

[sblock=OtS]I should have made this more clear. The guard is between you and the merchant,

WWWWGGGGGGGGWWWW<--The Wall and Gate
,,,,........,,,,<--Empty road
,,,,.HH.....,,,,<--The front end of the two Horses
,,,,.HH.....,,,,<--The back end of the two Horses
,,,,.WW.....,,,,<--Also the Wagon
,,,,.WW.E...,,,,<--The wagon, then Ethan
,,,,.WW.....,,,,<--The Wagon
,,,,....G...,,,,<--The Guard
,,,,...M....,,,,<--The Merchant
,,,,........,,,,<--Empty road

Hope this helps.[/sblock]

[sblock=Dire]

I assumed that it was wall/guard/merchant/me.............. that changes quite a bit lol. He should of just jumped the damn gate when the guard had her back to it. Um....... gimmie some time on this one, I gotta think.[/sblock]

 

[Dire Lemming]

[sblock=OtS] Sorry, the guard and the merchant were next to each other on the left of the wagon and you said that you wanted to keep it between you and them, so I sort of extrapolated from there.[/sblock]

[sblock] Valar...Morghulis...huh? says Ethranor, with a low and strange voice. Then his face brightens again and he goes on like nothing happened Well, we are here in the low ward, that's right. And pretty close to the wall, too. This leads me to suspect that we are in the place where your companions wanted to go. As for where they are, I don't know. But either something happened to them, or they abandoned you. Hmm...listen, you don't seem to feel quite well. Let's wait for the healer, ok? If he says you are fine, I'm going to buy some clothes for you and then escort you home. You'll have the time to think up some excuse for your father meanwhile [/sblock]

[sblock=Dire]

Um...... Ethan is kinda boned here lol. His only choices would be run (around the wagon and down the road), jump the fence, or fight........... None of those seem great lol. I guess fight.[/sblock]

 

[Dire Lemming]

[sblock=OtS]Sorry. You don't really have the option of jumping the wall either as it's about thirty feet high. You could run into any one of the alleys beside the street. The commas are just sidewalks, which are only even there since it's the main street of the city. The guard is wearing chain mail after all. If you want to fight, please state your specific actions.[/sblock]
