Emerald's PbP game

[Manzanita]

"I'd love to kill some goblins," says Reinert. "But the man did say things were under control, & we do want to catch up with old V'skar. Perhaps we could just stay the night here, seeing as I'm about broke. Then we could continue in the morning."

 

[MerakSpielman]

Whispers to friends.

"Something doesn't smell right, and it's not my chest of fish. Why didn't the goblins do more serious damage? They're just bruised. No arrows on the ground. No blood. No dead goblins. No fire in the barn. And if the battle was going so well, why did the wife run so desparately for help? And no gobs pursued the helpless woman? Something fishy is going on, and I intend to find out what."

Louder.

"We'd LOVE to stay in your barn! You know where we're at if you should need us!"

 

[Capellan]

"You all need your heads examined." I roll my eyes in disgust and lie back down in the wagon, rolling up into a blanket and ignoring the crazy people. "Wake me if the goblins come. I'll sleep a few and we can ... interrogate ... them for information."

 

[Krug]

Jarrad proceeds to a barn and tries to find a soft spot to sleep. It almost feels like... home, he thinks to himself. He'll alternate watches with the rest.

 

[Emerald]

You all move to the barn and sleep the night. The night is uneventful. In the morning, while you are just starting to stir, there is a scream from the house.

 

[Krug]

Jarrad rushes to the source of the scream, sword drawn.

 

[Capellan]

I remain lying down until Jarrad rushes out, then - secure in the knowledge that he will draw the attention of whatever is out there - I move to the door of the barn and peer out, carefully.

 

[MerakSpielman]

"Snnore... Sknort... No, honestly, it's not what you think... I was just adjusting her rigging... Honestly.... Hrupmpf! What? Somebody's in danger! Come on, there's no time to lose! Rally the troops and all that!"

Kaltide takes off after Jarred.

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert follows, sword & shield at ready. "dwarven legs may be slow, but at goblins we aim our blow!"

 

[MerakSpielman]

"I hope we get there in time!"
