Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

[Talindra]

Ardoss keeps his sword in hand, and motions to the prisoners with the blade. "You heard the elf, get moving........"

 

[jasamcarl]

The two prisoners that are able jump out of the wagon at the half-orc's orders.

And what of those two who are merely stable and unable to walk?

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho pauses and looks back...

"So we going or what? Don't like to keep the good sherrif waiting... besides I am hungry."

 

[Mirth]

"Darven's the only one that the Sheriff really wanted," Tarowyn says to the rest of the Fist. "Let's take him and the other wounded one back in the cart and these deputies can see to the dead one and lead the other captives back when they are done."

The elf turns to the guards, his bow still drawn and pointed at the prisoners, "Gentlemen, we're requisitioning your transportation. Jericho will take the reigns now, if you please."

 

[jasamcarl]

Several guards respond simultaneously to Tarowyn with 'Yes sir!!!' as they step away from the wagon and surround the conscience captives, longswords at the ready.

Jericho grumbles...

"Now I am the wagon-driver... oh how the mighty have fallen..."

Jericho takes the reigns...

 

[Krug]

Bhartus grunts, "Well you could be pulling it instead, you old warhorse!"

 

[jasamcarl]

At Jericho's signal, the horse team trots forward, pulling the wagon along slowly. The party and wagon travel 60ft down the trail before a whistling sound becomes audible; three arrows come zooming down the immediate vecinity of Jericho on the wagon, crashing into the wood with a 'plunk!'. 110 feet down the trail, four figures can be seen, three carrying longbows, while the other is draped in an ornate red cape, brandishing a longsword.

Initiative: the caped man, Whitney, the deputies, Ardoss, the archers, Tarowyn, Jericho and Bhartus

The caped man yells, "My brother Nicos thought it best if I assist in fulfilling the King's Justice; move away from the wagon or die!!!"

Whitney's up.

The deputies are 60ft behind you with the two bound prisoners.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney raises her crossbow up and points it at the nearest man (most likely the caped dude) "I have been charged by the Sherrif to bring this man in, and by my father's line I will do so. Make a move and we'll be forced to meet force with force." Her face grim she points the crossbow down at her target. "Move and we'll be forced to kill you."

OOC: Holding action till first hostile action. Then she's shooting her target

 

[jasamcarl]

Upon the attack by the Aporos, two of the deputies make quick use of their blades, putting the point of their weapons to the stomach of the the bound, helpless Evenwood within their custody, killing them almost immediatly, but not before the prisoners have a chance to scream. The other three advance on the party in a cautious, deliberate fashion.

Hearing the scream, Whitney fires on the robed man, taking him directly in the shoulder, almost forcing him to the ground.

Ardoss is up. The archers and caped man are 110ft from the party. Three of the deputies are now 40ft behind the party, the other two 60ft.
