I'm still employed!" Alvise protests to Mortar. Varga glares at him. "For the moment, anyway." Alvise quails a bit under the dwarf's disapproval, but recovers. "Well, they wasn't goblins, nor kobolds neither. I've tussled with goblins," he says proudly. "These things ... well, it's like you took a mangy lookin' bulldog and set it walking on its hind legs, and then gave it a spear. And they bark a lot at each other. Real loud, like. You can always hear 'em comin'." He shudders. "And the attack..." Varga prompts him. "I'm sorry ... my, uh, throat is getting a bit dry what with all this talking. Any chance I could get a drink?" Varga looks at him incredulously. "I'm going to pretend that was a joke," she says, "because if that wasn't a joke, I'd personally eject you from the building. Off the roof." Alvise gulps audibly. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, of course. Just ... just kidding, Ms. Renlow, ma'am! Uh, so ... well, me and the guard was coming north from Irthos, and I've done the run before, so I knowed there was a stretch of road where the beasties come out. Usually, they just hide in the bushes and throw rocks, or they come out in the road and bark at you, and then skitter out of your way when you don't stop." He scratches at his beard stubble. "This time, they'd set up a trap. They went and dug a hole in the road and covered it, and one of the horses stepped in it and broke a leg. Next thing we know, the beasties was all around, barking and yipping and hollering and poking us with spears. So yeah, I went and run and left the wagon and the horses to 'em," he says with a defiant look at Varga. "We was outnumbered, and you can talk about them being small, but a bunch of littler spears can kill you just the same. And the guard run first, anyway. I was just following his lead. After that, we was only a couple miles short of the Owl and Stag Inn, so we went there." He shrugs. "That's the story." [GM]K:Nature rolls to figure out what the creatures might be. EDIT - Throw a K:Local on there, too, if you've got it.[/GM]  <img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/Varga_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/Alvise_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> .....
