The Four Lands - The Great North

"Vadric, I do not want to leave these bodies unguarded, but I do not think you should go alone. We should all go and return with the magistrates together."

Jaroth

I'm disappointed in you, Jaroth. Darkrazor's thoughts penetrate Jaroth's mind.

What? Why? Jaroth responds mentally.

You did not even draw me to defend yourself. Darkrazor explains to Jaroth.

That's because you would just have likely commented on the architecture of these buildings as actually hit one of these ruffians. Jaroth retorts.

Darkrazor pouts.

"I concur. I think sticking together is a good idea." Jaroth responds to Anniston.
 

Finnian continues to question the thug while the others debate getting the magistrates.

"Ah, but I didn't ask about how you knew we had money. I asked who convinced you that we would be easy marks.

"Who was it that wanted you and your friends either killed or captured to take you out of the way? Or were you and your friends merely that lacking in good judgment? Who stayed back watching how we would react to being set upon?"
 

Bertrand

The ranger considers a moment as he searches the fallen. "My friends it is late. I suggest we abandon this situation and return to the ship. If we get tied up with magistrates we could be here until dawn or later. I seriously doubt we will find the magistrates helpful. Given that these ruffians attacked us with no fear, the law here must be weak or unconcerned."
 

Anniston

"Unfortunately, Bertrand, when we responded to this threat with deadly force we accepted the risk of delaying our departure. That decision has already been made. I would advise Vadric to attempt to save them with a healing spell but I fear they are beyond such aid."

"We are not finding the magistrate just to turn in this criminal, but also to report our actions and to submit to whatever investigation the magistrate should deem appropriate. It is our duty to report the consequences of our actions and depending on the laws of this city, it may be a criminal act to leave without reporting what has occurred."


Anniston stands the captured thug up and begins following Vadric toward the lights of a major street. Anniston pins the thug's arm tightly behind his back as they walk so he cannot easily escape.

"Let us not forget that, though justified, men have lost their lives here and resolving this situation appropriately is more important than catching a boat. Our captain may not be happy about delaying departure, but in light of the fact that this voyage will take months, a small fee paid to the captain may perhaps compensate him for this delay. If the captain will not wait, then we can take another ship."

"There are enough of us that it may be appropriate for us to take the bodies with us. I am certain, Bertand, that you intend the items you are confiscating to be turned over to the magistrate, but I suggest that if we take the bodies we will not be required to remove the personal items at all."
 

Amster- Street Thugs

The party spends a few minutes debating when they hear the sounds of men walking in unison thru the quiet night. The group catches voices on the air and can hear "....disturbance was........sounds like fighting"

Responding to the questions, put to him the thug replies "Wese was watcen youse thru the windows and sees your coin"
 

Anniston

"Excellent, help is on the way"

Anniston shouts in the direction of the approaching voices, "Hail the watch! We have been attacked! Hail the Watch!"
 

Bertrand

With resigned look, Bertrand nods, "I guess we take our chances with the locals. I was not my intention to remove anything from these fellows, but merely to look for anything that might suggest they are more than opportunists."
 

Amster - Street Thugs

In response to Anniston's hails, a party of twelve men led by a non com and a young man come towards the party from the north. Arriving at the scene, the party fans out to form a circle surronding the group. The young man steps forward and inquires "Who summoned the watch?"
 

"Thank you for your quick response, sirs," says Vadric to the watch. "I'm afraid we've had some trouble with some local thugs...we captured one, and some others fled into the night when they realized we weren't the easy victems they thought us to be."
