    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock says one more thing to Alric and Hrimr before they abandon the situation. "Arnir's a proud one, I don't think he'll ask you for help, but I know he wants it. Do what you feel. It might be that you're still friends, though. And it might just be that a dwarf and man who are too proud to...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Historical point: Hrimr may believe anything he wants, but Kirio never said he thought any such thing, nor did he give any reason for not going along. See Page 71. Kirio was in fact silent for the entire time. Only after all was over did he suddenly "know" it was going to be a trap. :)

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock stands there a moment, then takes the potions slowly. "Where was your talk of wolves when we left Lars alone in the city? Would you have us accompany you on every morning walk you take? Arnir didn't know what lay in wait for us. To him it would be a simple meeting, no violence. Wolves...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "I'll get them." Bannock walks outside to let Arnir and Kirio finish negotiating with Smeed. In the street, he calls after Alric and Hrimr. "Hey, where d'ya think you two are going? You're going to abandon us now, yeah? Arnir may not be the most likeable bloke. Hell, he might be the biggest...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock hates the halfling. He wants this small puke-stain on the world to die. Yet he sits still, and listens to Smeed's statements carefully, subconsciously analyzing every singsong syllable for hints of malicious intent and ulterior motives.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Whenever Smeed sits, Bannock takes a seat at a different table, ten feet behind the halfling, with his glaive laid across his knees.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "Of course not! Not without knowing what we're in for first. All we need is to know where Merrywinter is and this halfling is our best chance. He can lead us to the guild and we can decide what to do then. You're better than any of us at this sort of thing, I'm sure you'll think of something handy!"

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock rises, starts a cook fire in the hearth, and makes a hearty cream of wheat with some fried bacon slices, enough for the whole party. He is eager to begin the day. Bannock has pretty much established his opinion: He thinks the party should allow the halfling to lead them to the...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    When Kirio's mouth at last stops moving after what seem like hours, Bannock is finally afforded an opportunity to speak. "Thank me for what? For gettin' you out of your rut? You had a sweet ol' house? A nice place to play? Why are you even 'ere Kirio if not to be on this adventure? If you...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock stops Kirio before he walks off. "Hold on Kirio, I got an idea." Bannock pulls Kirio into a clearing and finds something low to stand on. He then starts bellowing at everyone around, in debased and accented Orcish. "Attention! Attention! Look here now! To all Ostaliners and...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    After staking out the harbour for hours and not finding anything, Bannock grows restless and decides that they won't find out anything more there, since it doesn't appear that any ships, even Elven, are moving in or out of the harbour. "Why don't we try the camps? I'll fit in among the...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock gathers about half his remaining gold (he takes 100 gp, which with my sloppy accounting leaves 90 left), throws his cloak on over his scraped and dented armor, shrouds his face in his hood and leaves the house with Kirio (if he is amenable to coming along). He first stops by the temple...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "I think Arnir and Alric should take that dagger and note to the Lye-cee-um," says Bannock carefully, "and then keep an eye on the embassy. Lars and Hrimr could check with the guild, seein' as Lars has some mates there now, and then investigate the office in case anyone returns there, or if the...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock, usually one for haste, has just learned a hard lesson about rushing in heedlessly. He squares his shoulders and raises his chin. He decides he should be assertive, after all, his father was a captain of the guard in Gate Pass, and he grew up listening to discussions about...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    As they trudge down the street, Bannock grunts at Kirio and Alric's chiding. "Ack! If I knew I'd have to listen to you two I'd have told you to leave me on the floor. No one told ME there'd be an ambush. There's two blokes some place in this town who need to die. That's all I know. Arnir can...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock coughs and hiccups and groans, though his lungs are mercifully free of blood. Compared to the others, his wounds are the least gruesome. Not moving from the floor, he raises a hand to his head and moans some more, then he opens his eyes and sees Kirio and Alric standing above him...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock circles with Kubla, keeping the pile of junk between them (5 foot step to F-5). Wounded, he finally doubts his ability to withstand another blow (Bannock is at 8 hp). He knows that Kubla's sword is about to shatter, however. He brings his glaive sweeping across the room in another...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock is dropped to a knee by the force of Kubla's sword, but adrenaline masks the pain, and he bellows an angry battle cry as he rises back up and knocks the bloody blade back with the haft of his glaive. Bannock knows Kubla has the advantage as long as he's stuck in the corner. Why in...
