The Forgotten Forge

[renau1g]

Cursing his inability to not only save the man, but also help defeat the attacker Cole says "This night is full of surprises. That warforged looked at you as if you knew each other?". Cole sheaths he sword as he looks at the others and asks "Can any of you make out if the fallen constructs weapon matches the man's wounds?"

 

[Arabesu]

Confident that he will not bleed out since he is a warforged, Ro'garth checks to see if the assassin yet lives:

OOC DC13 first round DC4 round 2 DC12 round 3 8 round 4! DC23 round 5!; i.e. it takes him 30 seconds to assess if it lives.

Ro'garth stands, wipes the grime and sap bled from the warforged off of his scimitar and announces whether the assassin still possesses the spark of life.

 

[Pinnacle]

C shakes his head. "No. I don't know why he called me a traitor. The only organization of any kind that I've ever been a part of was the Brelish army.

"And he called me a 'flesh-loving' traitor. I'm not sure what that means."

 

[Arabesu]

"I believe that he was insinuating that we," motioning to the rest of the party, "are fleshies, and because you associate with us, you are flesh loving. I do not think he was suggesting that you were taken to eating humanoid flesh. At least I hope not..."

OOC The book doesn't say what happens if he's unconcious so I'll say he's dead.
Two males and a female, wearing the green-and-black studded leather of Sharn's City Watch, emerge from the rain-drenched night. The leader, a powerfully built dwarf with a close-cropped beard, steps forward, leveling his crossbow in your direction. The small ball of arcane light, hovering just above and behind his left shoulder, illuminates the area. To each side, a human male and female stand with halberds at the ready. "Olladra's bloody nose!" the dwarf curses. "By order of the Watch, drop your weapons and explain yourselves!"

"Thank Dol Dorn you've arrived master dwarf, something terrible's happened here. We saw a body lying on the ground and after going to check on it we were attacked by that" Cole says pointing to the fallen assassin, while holding his hands out towards the dwarf.

 

[Arabesu]

Ro'garth puts his scimitar away, but readies to shift on a moments notice should this "detail" prove to be a ruse, so that he can have a weapon (his bite) ready.

"Cole, is correct, Master Dwarf. Your arrival is most untimely; had your patrol swung through here earlier perhaps this murder could have been avoided. As it is, we were too late as well. This being..." pointing at the dead warforged, "used sorcery to flee and double back to us, climbing the rain-slicked stone like a spider. I believe he was returning to finish the job of assassinating this provost. I stopped him; the others are free of responsibility."

 

[Pinnacle]

As he would have to draw his weapons before he could actually drop them, and drawing your weapon when told to drop it seems like a bad idea, C simply holds his hands out in front of him and away from the weapons.

"As the others said, we came running when we saw the body, to find that he was already dead. We were attacked by that warforged, who must have done it, and these two fought him off."

Should the guards prove hesitant, he moves forward just a bit and tries not to seem menacing. Remembering what Thalmarose said a few moments before, he says, "The only weapon on this bridge that should be bloody will be his, and it should match the body's wound. None of us attacked anyone but him, and most of us didn't even do that."
Indicating the body, he adds, "I think he's a 'provost.' I don't even know what that is.
"Oh! And something strange flew away from the warforged when he fell. You should know that."

OoC: Diplomacy (1d20+4=19)
(Thinking of what a low Wisdom, average Intelligence, skilled at arguing character would come up with for arguments is tricky. Glad someone else mentioned the weapons matching before.)

The goblin girl is extremely quiet and tries to stand behind/under someone else. She also keeps quiet and avoids drawing any attention if possible.

 

[renau1g]

Seeing the obvious discomfort from the goblin, Cole does his best to keep the guards attentions away from Kim Kim, even blurting out "Well we tried to save him, but even my training wasn't enough" if necessary.
