Final words...

( I think Bhalag's personality dictates that only intimidation will do, hehehe... I have a +6 modifier on intimidate as well as bluff, so its a 16 as well. )

Kae rolls her eyes. "Enough nonsense," she sighs. "He's obviously too stupid to know what's good for him. Knock him over the head and let's get him tied up."

As she speaks Kae is backing slowly away to stand blocking the door. Brawling is entirely beneath her... but after all the thug can't be allowed to escape, and she's confident that if it comes to it she can block his passage long enough for somebody to deal with him. For now her dignity will just have to go on the back burner.


OOC: So sorry! Evil stomach bug knocked me for six. Should be back to more-or-less regular posting now.
 

The interrogation

(No problem, Autumn. Glad you're feeling better.)

The mook rips a long hooked blade from his belt and leaps for Zook.
This triggers Ambra's readied action:
Ambra shoots the mook (1d20+2=17, 1d8=1)
The bolt flies true, but only scrapes his earlobe.
(OOC: 2 hitpoints he regained...so close...)

The mook attempts to grapple Zook.
Zook gets an attack of opportunity: he does not have a weapon readied, so he must use an unarmed strike.
(OOC: Oh. My. Word.
Zook's counterpunch (1d20-2=10)
Zook hits the unarmed mook.
Now, as a small creature with no unarmed strike and 7 strength, Zook does 1-2-2 points of damage, nonlethal. He must do at least one point of damage, however, because he did hit.
So, one point of nonlethal damage. He only regained 2 hitpoints from his rest.
The mook is staggered.)

The immense man -- over six feet tall -- thunders towards Zook, who is three feet tall in his biggest boots.
The man's wrists are as thick as Zook's neck. He probably outweighs Zook by an order of magnitude and he has a blade in his right hand that's the size of Zook's torso.
He's shrugged off psionics, arcane magic, and a crossbow bolt.
Shouting a Karnathi war cry, he leaps for the hapless gnome.

The hapless gnome promptly throws an uppercut that flattens his beard, snaps his head back, and glazes his eyes.
He falls to his knees, teeters, and then collapses on his side, punched out by a gnome librarian.

Zook, your knuckles hurt.
 

Kae lets out a peal of gleeful laughter, striding forward to clap Zook on the back. "Nice shot!" she cheers through her continuing hilarity.

She's still chuckling as she bends down to disarm the unconscious man, keeping hold of his knife herself. "Does anybody have any rope?" she asks. "He'll come around again eventually and I'd really rather not have any more antics of that kind. Even as entertaining as they were. I fear that our landlord's goodwill won't extend to too much more thumping and crashing."
 

Rethlin also slaps Zook on the back and congratulates him "By the Flame, I never saw that coming my little friend!"

"Sorry Kae, I have no rope. If we can get no useful information from him we better turn him over to the watch. What do you think Ambra and Zook, does further interrogation hold any promise?"


OOC: If this is our only lead then maybe we should try again, even if we have to rest the night to regain spells/powers...
 



Back at the crime scene

No. No it was not.
The inquisitive steps back and pulls out a wand.
"You're under arrest. Put your hands on your head now. Make no other move."
He whistles and the two watchmen start jogging over, drawing their saps.

Bhalag puts his hands on his stomach, tilting back and roaring with laughter.

" You're going to tell me, that instead of going after the damn criminals, you are going to waste time arresting me? That's a good one, lad! To think I was even entertaining the notion of cooperating, with that trial business and all. Not that there will be a trial, of course, because I reckon that the perpetrators will likely have been killed by that point. "

" Now, stop pointing that little stick at me, and maybe I'll even come along with you peacefully. I'm not one for roughing people up that don't try to harm me or my mates. On my honour as a dwarf, I swear. "

(Full defense if they attack. Without my shield prepared, that gives me AC 21.)
