The road to Vrux.

"Alibi? In this town, you need an alibi when attacked by assassins? I think the fact that my friend and I saved both of the assassin's victims, and captured one of the assassins alive, should do pretty well. At this point, I'm thinking that fellow who just fled the scene was probably working with the assassins. He didnt help us against the assassins, and now that no one wants to fight, he runs away. If you wish me to go with you, I am happy to comply."

Calondor (half-elf bard)

"Calm down and I will try to explain to the best of my ability. You see it is rather complicated. They were trying to find a place where they wouldn't be seen to kill me. I don't think it has to do with you or you wanting to buy their silver. And yes Axyrian law does not look kindly on things like this, but there are some willing to risk breaking laws."
 

As Makas sits down Fror is nervously gigling on his seat "Makas shouldn't we go upstair in case thing turns bad. I personally don't like the fact that assassin were visibely after us." On that Fror stands up and heads upstairs. "I will put some light on this"

-----
Calondor (diplomacy 18+7) reassuring word calms the men. "Thank you Calondor, glad that we both made it, and reassured somehow that all this had nothing to do with me"
-----
Morrison and Rell head back upstairs with the rest of the very nervous crowd. They both can feel the eyes of the crowd on them, almost judging them without knowing the fact. (sense motive xxx)

The group slowly approaches the room of the merchant. The dwarf quickly opens the door like if he was trying to catch people on the act. All you see is Calondor and a middled aged men talking in the room.

The dwarf visibely friustrated points at Calondor and Utrolac"You and you. This room is a mess,there is blood everywhere, anybody cares to explain what just happened"

Morrison notices that the lady he is carrying on his back is slowly coming back to reality.

Makas, curious to know how Fror could throw some light on the subject, slurps down the rest of his ale and plants the empty mug on the table before moving to follow the enigmatic gnome.
 

ooc: You know that subdual damage takes hours to recover correct?

Morrison "accidentally" bumps into a wall slamming the poor maid (subdual damage), and rendering her unconcious again.
 

Calondor (half-elf bard)

"Yes I will explain, two of your waiters and that bar maid over there" Calondor nods towards the barmaid Morrison is carrying "Attempted to kill me, one of them got a garot around my neck the other two helped shove me into this man's room where they wouldn't be seen. The barmaid stabbed the man in the bed there as evidenced by the pool of blood around him. The two men continued to strangle me with the garot until those two men saved both of us from the assassins." Calondor points out Morrison and Rell "Now perhaps *you* would like to do some explaining dwarf, why were your waiters trying to kill me?."
 

Rell Half-Giant Soul Knife

Rell nods in agreement with Calondor's story. "We heard a commotion in the hall and came out to see what was going on. I had to knock that man", pointing to the waiter who went out the window, "off the Bard or he would have succeeded in slaying him. I rendered what first aid I could and used a potion to save his life."
 

Calondor diplomacy 2+7

The dwarf who seems to have that thing against Calondor starts getting nervous at his accusation "How do you dare accuse me, in my own establishement. The people working here are very competent and profesional people. Who do you think you are stanger to talk to me on that tone.

The merchant still sitting on the bed. "Sir, this is obviously a misunderstanding, these three mens saved my life. Please understand that we both have been victim from an attempted murder and that our nerves are a bit itchy. At no time we intended to put the integrety of your establishement in doubt. (diplomacy 20) The men with the slight foreing accent smoothen things up with the dwarf. His tone is friendly and convincing.

Fror and Makas gets to the scene.

The dwarf calm down a little at the merchant intervention. He grumbles a few words to himself, and turns towards Morrison "Poor Francesca, what did you do to her?

The villager are still surounding the groups but their stance become less agressive after Calondor and Utrolac explanation.

The mercenary seems dissapointed by the turn of event, obviously they would have enjoyed a little fight.

Fror whispers to Makas "I suggest we search them, if we are lucky we could collect some clues on what or who motivated their action. This is becoming interesting, Hihihihi" He finishes laughing nervously.
 

Makas (dwarf warrior)

Makas nods at Fror. "Do you need a diversion?" he whispers.

If Fror answers yes, then Makas starts to pick a fight with the mercs. "Hey, ugly!" he says. "You look like you're itchin' for a scrap the way you're eyein' off them saviours," he adds as he takes a step closer to the merc. "And I'm in that kind of mood just to help you out. No one should go givin' these good folk a hard time after savin this poor man. Not unless they're up to sumtin' thats no good..." he ventures as he steps up to the merc and pokes him in the chest.

If the merc takes a swing, then Makas will respond with unarmed strikes (or grappling if necessary) whilst raging. Otherwise he'll just keep trying to draw attention to himself by moving around a bit and getting louder and continuing to insult the mercs while Fror does his thing. He won't draw his throwing axe unless the mercs draw first.

If Fror answers no, then Makas whispers, "Got any suggestions how to do that?"
