Darien responds to Manzanita. "I've committed myself to guard Glendrake's caravan to Goruka and back, so I'll be with them for a while." He smiles wryly. "You must've noticed he's not the nicest fellow to the guards, eh? I think he has some noble blood in him. Sure acts like it anyway. Brenin Dharnan? Yes, I think I've heard of him. Randal's brother, wasn't he? Yes, I remember. Never met him, but I hear he's a great history buff, knows just about all there is to know about royalty and nobility. I think he was writing a book on the Five Noble Families. Word is he's a powerful wizard as well. Alana I haven't heard of. She's a Dharnan you say? If she were a Dharnan I think I'd probably have heard of her, but the name doesn't ring a bell. Mandar I know. He's a good man. Captain in House Dharnan's forces I think."
As the fight breaks out you see the seven violet-cloaked men are badly outnumbered. There are scores of Ricsten's men in the tavern, although only about a nine are fighting, with a few more circling around the fringes punching or kicking as the opportunity presents itself. Several party members are bumped and pushed around by the crowd. They are quite close to the fight.
Bert ducks under a table and casts entropic shield.
Hulvan's men do pretty well, although if its through skill or luck it's hard to say. A couple of Ricsten's men are knocked out. Others start grappling. Then Ricsten's guard, the one who threw the first punch, draws his sword.
] Rowyn is not at the tavern, so she can't participate (or not) in the row. She will spend the night at the temple in meditation and prayer, as will Sabala, and will meet the party outside the tavern early in the morning (7a, unless someone requests otherwise). She has no preference as to which way the group travels. [I have yet to update my character sheet, but if I have not yet said it, Rowyn will be taking some of the goods.]
