[Gobtales] Nightwatch

Ashgyad will command the badger to take an AoO only if D'Bruuhl makes one. D'Bruuhl has shown leadership this night, and Ashgyad will follow his lead.

When you're hot you're hot and when you're not...

D'Bruuhl looks at Arktul with a mixture of disdain and pity. "You should not have defied the nightwatch, gobs or not. Now you will be turned over to the law. If you make any moves to attack, we will not hesitate to use force."

He looks hard into Arktul's face to make sure he understands that D'Bruuhl is sincere. Satisfied, he says, "I will try to help your friend."

[gob] "Rakanishu, will you go and summon the sherriff?" [/gob]

OOC: D'Bruuhl tries to determine if the human at B3 can be saved. If so, he will use his Healer's Kit (+2) with his Heal skill (+7) [and his Profession (Herbalist) skill (+5), not sure if this counts or not??] to try and stabilize his wounds. If they are truly serious and this doesn't work, he will cast Cure Light Wounds on him. If he's dead, he will instead cast it on Goubido.

Glorath eases his bow but doesn't put it away. He starts muttering in goblin.
"Stupid humans... don't respect us... think we're just stupid monsters... blah..."
 


The robed one escapes, running as fast as he can.

D'Bruuhl manages to stabilise the wounded man, though it requires removing Glorath's arrows from his body. He grimaces in severe pain. Fortunately, the arrows didn't go too deep.

Nope the herbalist's skill doesn't count. :)

Goubido collects the weapons. Artkul mutters, "I'd want that back later..."

The badger fades and disappears, disappointed that combat had been brief.

"Don't call the sheriff! Please! We only needed the money! All we do is collect these... drunkards for him!" mutters the robed one. "I am Taris, I.. I need the money. My daughter is sick. Please... If I go to prison nobody will take care of her!"

"Stop yapping like a fool!" says Artkul.

The other figures in the wagon appear to be two other human sailors, and a dwarf in plain-clothes. They smell of alcohol and are quite unconscious. So is the sailor on the ground.

I fought the law and...

D'Bruuhl listens to the human's impassioned pleas and then wonders if Taris is just a lucky guesser or if he actually speaks goblin. Regardless, D'Bruuhl's mind is made up. He and his fellow goblins have a job to do and the law is the law. It's not like these humans would have sympathy for them if the shoe was on the other foot, anyway.

D'Bruuhl tries to rise to his full height as he addresses Taris. "I have shown mercy by saving your friend there from dying, but don't think that my mercy has no bounds. You shouldn't have attacked us after we identified ourselves. That action alone sealed your fate. Besides, you knew what you were doing when you joined up with this thug."

He turns his attention to Arktul. "And as for you, villain. You may revile us goblins, but look at yourself. You are so much lower than any of us. We all have jobs to earn our way. Whatever you make think of us, we are better than you. Scum. It must make you furious to know that you are so unworthy that goblins have more respect than you."

D'Bruuhl wonders if his speech is having the effect he wants it to. "To be merciful and just in the pursuit of divine wisdom." That's what Father Pierotous told him the goal of a Paladin was. One day, D'Bruuhl hopes, one day...
 

[goblin]"Will do,"[/goblin] Rakanishu says to D'Bruuhl.

Rakanishu sheaths his short sword and picks his crossbow up before loading it and quietly hurrying away to the sheriff. He takes a route parrallel to the road, running through the shadows behind buildings to avoid exposure on the street.
