[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4925012, member: 11146"] In the commotion of the initial barking and Tac's drawing his blade and skirmishing for the open Gate, the small weasly guardsman hauls off after Tac, yelling something unintelligble. The larger of the pair of guardsmen seems uncertain whether to follow in the footsteps of his comrade. Just when the bulky man, perhaps a bit slow in the head, appears decided to head after his partner, Talashia's comment makes the dufus stop in his tracks and frown. The man replies, a touch confuddled, [COLOR="Orange"]"Tallie? [SIZE="4"]TALLIE!!![/SIZE] "[/COLOR] before reaching out to strap Talashia in a would-be bear hug. Ere the man can grasp her, Talashia recognizes a playmate from her childhood, Ben Olafsson. Pere Olafsson, Ben's father, kept a small cottage outside the city walls and sold firewood for a living. Ben and Talashia, being the same age, played at fort-making in the Pere's woodpile. [COLOR="Gray"]Ben will incur an AoO if he attempts to bear hug/"grapple" Talashia. Let me know if Talashia accepts his hug, sidesteps it in some manner, or takes an AoO against him.[/COLOR] At the gate, the smaller weasly guardsman comes to a halt in front of Taran. Huffing for air from even his short burst of speed, the guardsman pants, [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"This yer dog? That bark'd wake the dead."[/COLOR] The weasly man reaches a hand forward to pat Sandstone. [COLOR="Gray"]Let me know how Taran reacts to the attempt to be petted. And, yes, one possibility would be to take the AoO that the guardsman incurs.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
