[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8379911, member: 2012"] Silagord ignores the war of words in the other room. He moves to rush by Akos, Breva, and Vinny and get to his cat familiar. He moves recklessly and doesn't seem to care if anyone lashes out at him. [OOC] Since Silagord goes before Akos, Breva, and Vinny, they are all considered flat-footed, which means that none of them can make AoOs vs. the young tower wizard. not that he's attacking anyone. He's more concerned about his cat. [/OOC] Vinccenzo enters the room and takes up a position net to Tim on the other side opposite of Custodio. He works with Akos to try to keep the ex-guards from attacking. The situation was escalating quickly until Falen entered the room and spoke... Vinny doesn't have a clue what language the half-hobgoblin just used, but the uncertainty has confused the ex-guards if not their leader. Maybe that was Falen's plan. Silagord moves through the open door and into the barracks just in time to hear Tuck order Mutt to stop. He watches as Mutt stops advancing on Thare. The big dog looks back at Tuck with a disappointed look. He sees Silagord and growls at the young wizard. Thare hisses once at Mutt and then scrambles towards her master. Silagord scoops up the cat with a sigh of relief. He looks at Tuck and nods his head. "Thank you for not hurting her. This whole mess was such a bad idea for us to get involved in just for a few extra coins for my family." He looks at Mutt with less understanding. "I'm glad your dog actually listened to you. I'd hate to lose Thare." He holds the cat close and pats her on the head to try to calm her down. Tuck can see that the cat is still shaking. [OOC] [USER=11520]@Scotley[/USER], you have the option of having Breva take an action at this point. [/OOC] "You see," Lady Arnona tries to help Akos clam down the situation. "It wasn't subterfuge on their part. It was an accident. Please stop this before you get us all killed." Lady Arnona turns to look at Akos. "I'm a soldier, Loremaster, not a wizard or a sorcerer," she replies. "And Silagord already gave up his spell components to the Sectarian, so he can't attack you with his spells." She pauses. "It sounds like he and the kobold are working it out." She turns back to her commander. "Lowenan, tell them to stop." The other two ex-guards are prepared to rush Custodio and Vinccenzo. But they balk at the last second. Lowenan hesitates. He puts up his hand and the two guards relax. [COLOR=#C4BDAC]"It seems I am the t[I]rue[/I] hothead here,"[/COLOR] he replies. [COLOR=#C4BDAC]"Not Mr. Vecchi."[/COLOR] He sighs and shakes his head. [COLOR=#C4BDAC]"I've become so use to betrayal that I now betray myself."[/COLOR] The ex-commander leans against the table.

THe DC for this check is a little higher, 17. [USER=6790669]@Tellerian Hawke[/USER], I know you have a post planned but you might want to alter it. ;) [/OOC] [/QUOTE]
