RC, I'll let you decide at what point Horsom can rejoin the group.

This campaign has everything.. talking cats, gore-covered orcs, and now boxing dwarves! Excellent!


OOG: Ulorian, thank you for your comments. We aim to please.
:p



The miller looked at Amalric. "As for you," he said. "You denied my son burial. Excommunicate me if you will, and may a plauge fall upon you! I renounce you and your church. And, if they stand behind you still, I renounce your Gods as well!"

Before Maldordo could respond, he heard a cry of rage from behind him. "Blasphemer!" Dain shouted. "You are forsaken and all you touch is cursed!" The dwarf began charging across the field toward the church, and toward the miller.

Selanil drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Nearby, Glom shook his head in sorrow, tears leaking from his eyes. His subdued comment was all but lost in the face of Dain's angry roar.

"You have until noon to decide," the miller said, addressing the villagers. "Let me help you as I have in the past, or place your trust in these monsters and murderers." He swept a hand toward the adventurers: scarred elf with bow drawn, goblin, huge and gore-covered half-orc, dwarf enraged and charging. Then Dain was upon the miller, fists striking unresisting flesh. As the miller went down under Dain's blows, the dwarf could hear him laughing quietly.

As things got out of hand, Maldordo stepped quickly over to Amalric. Shortly thereafter, the church door opened, and Horsom looked out on the scene.
 

Horsom stepped out into the churchyard and stopped dead in his tracks. Between Dain pummeling the miller as he lay laughing, not defending himself, and Selanil with his bow drawn and pointed at the villagers and Glom weeping quietly, Horsom was left completely flabbergasted. "I was gone for 10 minutes..," he said unbelievingly. "With what honeyed words did Maldordo grace this assembly?" Gathering his wits, he sprang into action, running for the dwarf. Seeing that none of the villagers had immediately jumped to the miller's aid, he formulated a quick plan. As he ran by the well in front of the church, he grabbed a bucket of water. Upon arriving at the one-sided melee, he emptied it onto the dwarf and hapless miller, more to save the miller's miserable life than anything else. "How is this helping us to catch the real foe here, the manticore?" he roared, flinging the bucket to the ground. "We," he indicates his companions with a sweep of his arm, "have been tasked by the Church with destroying the beast. Whether the miller's blood sacrifices to Aulshaka have drawn this evil creature to your town is a matter we can discuss after it's been killed. For now, we must seek vengeance for our dead."

OOC: RC, ad libbed the well, hope you don't mind.

wolfheart, sorry about the drenching :)
 


Kregor approached the scene slowly as not to cause anybody fear. Once he got there, he looked down as Dain pummeled the miller. He then saw Horsom coming with the water and took a step back. He silently watched as things played out. Upon Horsom asking the miller why he laughs, Kregor shakes his head. "The sacrificing of children has made this man insane. He is delusional and I fear his rantings will do no more good to this town. I almost pity him."
 

Maldordo is silently watching as events unfold. For once He's not grinning either, unless you count partially bared teeth as a grin. As he flexes his fingers, Maldordo considers that he hasn't assumed his felinid form since before winter started and he longs for having sharp teeth and claws. Rationally, he knows how the surounding townsfolk would react to such a transformation and tries to push his fight or flight instincts from his conscious thoughts.

Hope you guys are having a good long weekend. RC
OOC: Hope your weekend is going well. Aside from losing a filling and blowing a tire while going 120 km/h on Highway 5 with my pregnant wife in the car (changing a flat when the lugnuts are rusted on is no fun, trust me), my weekend is going swimmingly.
