Shades of Netheril (Forgotten Realms) (268)

[Capellan]

Like my companions, I rise and head out to investigate the explosion - though first I take a moment to cast mage armour on myself and collect my greatsword.

Oh yes - and put on a pair of breeches

 

[Felvon Tavor]

Those not hiding or skulking around the shop entrance congregate around the single entrance to Jorman's burned out shop. After about ten seconds, a tall man in jet black archiac full plate armor walks to the entrance of the shop. His armor appears to be scorched and in several areas, the paint has blistered off, but his skin appears to be unharmed. His bloodstained sword hangs at his side. He stands in the doorway for a second, and takes a look at your group. He then says "What has happened here is none of your concern. If you wish to continue breathing, you may continue on your way. If not, prepare to be smitten by the magical might that has not walked Toril for millenia, the choice is yours."
(Gavin notices a flash of movement in one of the shops outward facing windows)

 

[Jemal]

Alexander moves forward to stand in front of the figure in the plate mail. Sword drawn but tip to the earth, not threatening, yet clearly at the ready. Sheild in hand, ready to raise. "What of the keeper of this shop? I had business with him!" Alexander is hopeful that all eyes are on him, thus distracting them from whatever his companions may be doing.

OOC: taking a full defense action and Dodge vs this guy as I stand 5' away from the man and speak with him. That raises my AC to 27 vs him.

 

[Capellan]

I hold back, remaining ready, but do not - yet - approach the man. Alexander's words sum up my interest in the matter - we had business with the shopkeep, and this individual has cost us the money we would have gained tomorrow.

I keep alert for the possibilities of other enemies.

(OOC: Dodge against the man in platemail. Spot attmept to look for any other foes.)

 

[National Acrobat]

Arcanra will keep his sword lowered but will move to stand beside Alexander in order to assess the situation and to restate the fact that we did have business with the shop keeper in question.

 

[Felvon Tavor]

"well, i'm sorry but the shopkeeper is beyond doing business with anyone. We will let you loot the remains of this shop if you do not create a scene. We have what we came for, now let us leave." The man in the plate mail is preparing for a fight a little more actively than Alexander

 

[Jemal]

Alexanders eyes narrow as he, too, gets into a more.. 'formal' fighting stance. "I have no wish to do battle with you, sir. But unless you had some lawful reason to slay this man, I cannot in good conscience allow you to leave!"

OOC: Paladins attitude without the holiness. hehe I love knights.

 

[Capellan]

"Even were we disposed to become thieves, I doubt there is much within that would have survived your 'attentions'."

Remaining alert for any other threats.

 

[National Acrobat]

"I for one would believe that whatever goods are left intact should be either given to the man's relatives or sold to benefit them somehow. Thievery just doesn't seem right."

Arcanra holds his ground. Right behind and a little to the left of Alexander.

 

[Felvon Tavor]

"The shop-owner had an object of ours. When we 'politely' asked for it back, he refused to return it. We then got a slight bit more forceful, and he unleashed powerful magic at us. We responded with arms and magic of our own, and defeated him in 'self defense'. We now have the object in our possession. I warn you, we must be going, if you delay us any longer, the streets will run red."
