The Stonepike Mountains
OoC: Duh, you'd already posted that, hadn't you? *DM shakes cobwebs out of brain*
IC: Michael tried to gauge what was really going on here. As far as he could tell, Private Stander had some kind of orders to bring some sort of people to his commander farther up the road to Duvik, and that he thought he was doing the party some sort of favor by doing so. At least he acted that way, and Michael saw no obvious deception on his part.
"Hey, you can't do that!", called Private Stander to Zaeryl. He turned around, leaving the path and passing Eternity as he doubled back. "If you're going to Duvik, you have to go through the camp, anyway. I'll show you to the Lieutenant." Seeing this, Private Squatter moved around Almayce at the far end of the line to chase after Zaeryl.
Private Squatter looked at Hulgyr crossly and replied, "No, I think I'll take this back to camp. If it belongs to one of you, you can get it back there." He jerked the hand holding the cloak back to his side and held his spear a little more upright, rather than letting the tip drift lazily to one side.
OoC: Eternity may take an AoO on Private Stander and Almayce may take an AoO on Private Squatter, should they so desire. Neither has caught up to Zaeryl, although they have drawn up almost even with him. Private Stander is maybe 15' Duvikward of Zaeryl and Private Squatter is about 10' Kinthriverward.
Round 4
- Hulgyr stepped onto the path by Private Kneeler and demanded that he hand over the rock.
- Zaeryl started to bravely turn his tail and flee.
- Michael decided that one of the soldiers wasn't such a bad guy after all.
- Two of the soldiers ran after Zaeryl to try and talk him out of it.
- One soldier stayed behind and decided he didn't like being told what to do.
Eternity, Almace?
Then:
Ironwolf 8
Eternity 8
Almayce 1
[sblock=Rystil Arden: ]I don't think this triggers anything yet. The soldiers are just trying to keep up with Zaeryl and talk him out of it (at least the one is, Zaeryl isn't so sure about Private Squatter), not tackle and hogtie him.[/sblock]
