[Gobtales] Nightwatch

[Dog Faced God]

"...hyahya hya hyKLCHK... You sneaky, black-eyed sonofawhore!" Gouido cracks his whip toward the squire's feet.

Ashgyad continues trying to subdue the halfling.

"Hey, hey, hey, we're not gonna kill him, just 'subdue' him. He's attacked members of the nightwatch you realise!" Rakanishu says to the halfling as he again tries to lay an unarmed sneak attack into the halfling.

"He won't remember any of it anyway, cool off!"

Speeding up combat...
Glorath's whip snaps at the squire's feet, and trips him as well.
The combat soon degenerates into a wild, messy melee. Rakanishu and D'Bruuhl manage to land blows, Ashgyad manages to hurt his foot kicking the armor of the halfling a few times, while Goubido snaps his whip just for effect. The squire crouches in fear, pinned by Glorath, as his master gets pounded eventually into submission. He now lies unconscious on the ground, with a fat black eye and vomit trickling down his lips.

"Oh master," mumbles the squire.

 

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl picks himself up off the halfling, huffing with disgust when he finds that his clothes are stained with vomit. He takes the halfling's short sword and steps over to the squire.

"We should arrest you for attacking the nightwatch," D'Bruuhl says in barely suppressed anger, "for there is nothing that upsets me more than those who break the law. Your 'master' there has paid most of his penance already, and I'm willing to forgo your assault as a misguided need to protect him."

"However," with this D'Bruuhl points the sword at his face, "you had better take him far away from here to sleep it off. And tell him he can pick up his blade at the Temple of Heironeous, if he wants to pay off the rest of his penance..."

"You may be waiting a while for your master to wake up, squire," Ashgyad offers. "And between what he's imbibed and the drubbing he brought upon himself, he's not going to feel well in the morning, either."

"If he doesn't remember what happened you'd best explain exactly what happened in simple terms to him. Make sure he understands that we only beat him unconcious to prevent him gutting us," Rakanishu says irritatedly.

 

[dreamthief]

"You are... a priest of Heironeus?" The squire says. "But... my master, Winbie... he is a servant of Heironeus too! Please... leave him his sword. I shall make sure he behaves. It is the most precious thing to him in the world! I beg you!" He cradles the Knight's head in his hands.

You do notice that the halfling knight has the faint trace of Heironeus symbol, the Silver bolt of Glory, on his armor. It wasn't apparent in the dark.

 

[Dog Faced God]

Goubido throws his head back and guffaws. "We should definitely leave the sword with the church, if for no other reason than it will burn this drunk's arse even worse."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rakanishu looks ashamed.

"Oh.......well.......do we need to get other factors involved in this? Can't we leave him his sword........surely the beating he's had to endure for attacking us is sufficient. Anyway..........how would people look upon us if they found out us......a bunch of goblins, beat up a drunk halfling knight of Heironeous...........and took his precious sword from him as well?" Rakanishu says, "And how would he feel having to go to the temple to retrieve his sword.......further embarrassment for him..........don't you think being beaten senseless by goblins while you're completely stone drunk humilitating enough for him D'Bruuhl?...........Let alone making it public will make everyone here look bad in one way or another. Anyway..........he was probably just drinking off the stresses of an adventure, same as any adventurer would.........I just guess he got carried away."
