Taming the Taman-Busuk game thread: Outpost 1

[Voadam]

Quietly Kinan walks up behind the kender cook. He doesn't say a word but his eyes are fixed on the whip wielder. His expression grim as one hand curls into a tight fist warning the man against turning his whip on the kender.

The implications are clear. The man is bigger than the kids and bigger than the kender. But Kinan is bigger than the man.

These children were stealing food from my cart. I was about to teach them a lesson on what happens to petty thieves. The whip-wielder explains.

We are outpost guards sir. We shall decide what punishment needs be served, if any. It is not for civilians to enforce the laws here.

You are, you are outpost guards? The man breaks down into laughter, and his fellows soon join. Tell me, has this outpost grow in such dire need for warm bodies to man it, that they're recruiting guards from the circuses and brothels?

Typical Solamnic justice, being meted out by harlots and carnival freaks! One of the cart guards chortles. Mayhap they'll sentence the rotten little thieves to picking up zebra dung! Another chortles.

Ulricsohn looks fit to start smashing heads, but Tanner's arm on his shoulder keeps him back and he shakes his head looking back at you.

Yeblin listen and gently shook his head, just like a mother do when his children is thinking something but he is wrong and the mother want to correct that affirmation. "Stealing, most likely it had fallen from your cart. And they must have taken them to gives it back to you. Cart drivers are just as absent minded as dwarves and have a tendency to loose there stocks. They would really need to be more aware of there things. And I know a lot about cart drivers, I usually travel with some, and they always miss something at the end of the trip. You should have met Terian, he was teh worst of all. He was carrying lot of exotic goods, he was travelling between Palanthas to Solanthus. He was marveled by my cooking skills, every night, I was preparing him the finest meal I could prepare, but at the end of the travel, he lost all his profits because he had delivered half the stock he was suppose to deliver to the lord of Solanthus. After that, he tried to find me. I am quite sure it was to thank me for the good meals I made him, but I had to visit the lord's kitchen and I told myself I would see him later. The lord's of Solanthus have such a nice kitchen, only thing is sad, it is after the visit, you have to visit his jails, it is part of the tour it seems, so I couldn't see Terian before he left. It's sad, he was such a nice man, just as distracted as you, but a lot more polite. And you should stay polite, as these kids have come to help..." Yeblin see the water pouring over there head. his eyes open wide and he let a big laughter, and can barely stands on his feet. "That is funny!"

Kell anticipates an escalation of aggression after the water fiasco. Slowly, he draws forth an arrow from his quiver and starts casually twirling it in his finger. Kell hold his bow behind his back, not trying to hide it completely but merely keeping it the background. He starts softly whistling a familiar tune from his childhood, his eyes never leaving his possible combatants.

Prrgh! Your commander shall hear of this! Says the rider, now thouroughly drenched as is his mount. The chortling from his men quickly dies down.

Myst

"For that I have very little doubt." Chimes Myst with a smile as she stands harmlessly next to Thunder. With a warm expression she kneels down with out streched hands and motions for the two young children to join her.

With a soft smile, Myst wipes away the tears from thier faces and asks, "Shh, now now. Everything is going to be just fine. Those ugly men are not going to hurt you. Not now, not ever. Is that not right Tanner?"

"See?" She says as she draws the children's attention away from the thugs. In a soft and soothing tone Myst says, "Now I need you both to do me a favor, ok? You both know how to get home from here right? Good. Now I need you both to run as fast your tinny little legs can carry you straight home and give a great big hug to both your parents, ok? And whatever you do, do not stop running until you get home, ok?" Myst waits until both the children nod their heads in agreement before letting them go. "Good now go." She finishes in an urging manner.

She watches the children safely run off home before motioning to the others in the group as she nimble leaps on Thunders back. As Thunder gives a deep grunt of excitement she looks dead center into the eyes of the lead thug. "I apologize if I ruined your fun, but I could not help but notice that you liked picking on people that are smaller than you." Says Myst in a sarcastic tone. "Well we are smaller than you, try picking on us. Or are you afraid that a petite little women and her rag-tag band of misfits are going to hurt you?"

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

The rider and his guards want no part of you, they turn tail and clear out without so much as answering Myst's challenge.

But to her suprise the children haven't moved from her side.

We've no home to go to ma'am. Our parents went up to be with Lord Paladine and Lady Mishakal, and we've been out here havin' nothin' to eat and my brother's sick now too.

Ulricsohn feels the boy's head and tells Myst. By the gods, she's right mate, boy's got a bad fever ya?

 

[Velmont]

"My mother always told me to fight fire with fire... or that was the goblins? Anyway, a fever is hot, so the best you should do is eat some soup. You must be hungry, let me do some soup for you, it won't take time. Come on kids, enter this place." showing teh way to the Tavern. Yeblin go back, and as he alreday has forgotten it, he will enter the kitchen, but that time, his instinct will tell him to be sneaky while he fetch all he need for the soup. A nice and simply chicken and noodle soup, with a few vegetable in it to give a bit more taste, and a bread to fill a bit thes empty stomach.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

"Well then, that is something that we are going to have to remedy is not?" Dismounting from Thunder's shoulders Myst gathers the children and leads them into tavren. "Come now, lets get you both something to eat and then Gorash can take a look at your brother."
