[Gobtales] Nightwatch

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl steps forward as he sees the guards approach.

"Good morning, officers. I am D'Bruuhl, Priest of Heironeous, and we have arrested these ruffians for rolling these drunks.

They resisted at first and forced us to give them a sound beating before they would comply. Despite his stupidity, this one was saved from death by the healing grace of my divine lord. And Arktul there seems to be the ringleader as well as being a complete bastard. One of their fellow criminals was able to escape, but you can probably pry his name from this miserable wretch. His name is Taris.

We detained all parties here until you could question them and take them into your custody."

Although D'Bruuhl stands tall, he tries not to look too proud. After all, he and the others were just doing their job.

Then D'Bruuhl turns to Rakanishu. [gob] "Sorry about the long trip there and back again. I seem to have FORGOTTEN [looks at the 4th wall] how far it was to the sherrif's office and if my memory wasn't so faulty, I probably wouldn't have asked you to go. I'm sure we all appreciate it." [/gob]

The two guards eye each other, and then look at the wagon.
"You've done well.. We'll take it from here," says one of the guards.
"Are all them.. ruffians?"

The sailor protests, "I am innocent! Can I go now! These brigands knocked me out! I was drinking and suddenly I'm being wheeled down the streets in this... cart!"

Taris protests. "Plesae! I am innocent! I have a child to feed!"

The dwarf mutters, "I am a respectable merchant! Let me go now!"

An hour to daylight and it already sounds like a fish market.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rakanishu turns to Glorath, [goblin]"Nah, just a long trip,"[/goblin]

[goblin"Don't worry about it D'Bruuhl,"[/goblin] Rakanishu says, [goblin]"Someone had to do it."[/goblin]

 

[Mirth]

The two guards eye each other, and then look at the wagon.
"You've done well.. We'll take it from here," says one of the guards.
"Are all them.. ruffians?"

D'Bruuhl looks at the guards in disbelief, but he just doesn't feel like explaining the situation to them again. "We know these three are, " he points to Arktul, Taris and the wounded one. "As for the others, I don't think so, but I suppose that's for you to sort out.

D'Bruuhl sets about getting his gear in order and prepares to depart. "Good morning to you, officers. My fellows and I need to get back to work."

To the others he says [gob], "Let's be off to the 3-Legged Toad, shall we? These thick-headed guards have things under control ... somewhat." [/gob]

OOC: dreamthief, did you get my email about the other thing?

 

[garyh]

[Gob] "Let the bigs handle the ruffians... we've got more interesting things to deal with..."[/Gob]

 

[Dalamar]

Glorath simply nods.

 

[dreamthief]

You leave the mess to the guards, who mumble a gruff thanks.

The 3-Legged Toad isn't too far away and you reach it just as the mists are clearing. It is a tavern with two floors, well-known for catering to sailors and sometimes, adventurers.

Just as you are about to step into the tavern, a halfling in a suit of plate armor steps out. His cheeks are red, his hair is tangled and there appears to be the imprint of a table on the left side of his face. He looks at your group and does a double take, then draws his short sword. His mouth is laced with a load of alcohol.

"ITAROID! STANDS BECK! W-WE BE SURROUNDED BY GOBLINS! THEY COME TO TAKE M-M-MEESH!"

You see another halfling you think is his squire behind him. "No master Harold... they are not.."

"SILENSE! I SHALST SEND 'EM BECK TO DA HELLSH THAT SPAWNS THESE DARK FEE-NDS!"

He adopts a fighting stance, but doesn't appear to be very stable.

"Don't hurt him!" says the Squire imploringly.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rakanishu points his crossbow at the ground and steps back slowly, trying to look non-threatening, realising the knight's judgement may be flawed in his current state.

 

[Dog Faced God]

Goubido grumpily addresses the squire. "Get him off the streets before he does something to bring... discredit upon himself."

 

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl steps forward, "You have nothing to fear from us, brother. But we have seen evidence that the brew they serve in here is a bit more ... potent ... than it should be. I suggest you keep a close eye on him and make sure you keep him safe."

D'Bruuhl will then try to move past the two into the tavern.
