If the bartender wanted to keep order, why not shout and demand everyone leave, or call for the guard? Why quietly load that crossbow? If the scout believed she was a thief, why not demand she be searched? Why weren't THEY calling for the guard?She stood up from her seat and moved out a bit, putting herself in the middle of it all. Then she said loudly, "Everyone STOP!"Annika was not a fully trained bard, but she'd learned something about how to use her voice. How to make it carry without shouting, how to make it crack like a whip. She didn't then give anyone time to question or think. Immediately the pointed at the bartender."You, put that crossbow down. Yes, I see you there." She looked at the scouts. "If she's a thief, then we'll keep her here and the town guard will search her, and that's that."With a sweep of her eyes, Annika now included the other people in the inn, bringing them into the brewing situation. "We do not strike people down on accusations alone. There are laws, and in the execution of those laws there will be justice given to where it's due."Her eyes fixed back on the aggrived scout. "Now. How much money was in the purse you say was stolen?"(OOC - Intimidate and Diplomacy rolls; to get everyone's attention, and then talk everyone down. 20 Intimidate, 23 Diplomacy. <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4626578/" target="_blank">http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4626578/</a> )</blockquote>
