The village of Prumen

[Nac Mac Feegle]

OOC: I'm back, thanks for NPCing my Darkmaster.

"I agree." Says Telic. "If this had been goblins, more militiamen would be dead. Something very strange is going on around here. We should stick together and find the others."

 

[DarkMaster]

Solomon let the the injured soldier leave the house, he goes down the stairs and leave by the front door. The militian dashes towards the two horses, the one that jumps through the window is almost there.

The two children are still traumatized by the vision of their mother lying on the ground in her own blood. The two kids are willing to help Solomon, but can't provide much more than that. Jessica's sister says Me and my brother were playing in my room, while my mother was downstairs. We suddenly heard a big noise we rushed towards the stairs to see what it was. We recognised two militians and we wondered why they were "attacking" the house. They started to search the house and stole what they could. My mother tried to stop them. They hold her and yell at her. She ... then lead them to my room and gave them my necklace, the one that my father gave me for my birthday. Then the one you hit with your sword ..... snif snif .... hit her ... my ... mother ... As she finishes her sentence she goes in tears. Seeing his sister cry the younger brother does the same.

- At the town hall

Gnarll turns towards Dai and Telic, whipping tears from his eyes with his huge hand "I want vengance, how can we get vengance?"

OoC Glad to have you back Nac Mac, I was about to ask for a substitute but I saw on the Pbp absentee list that your were not available until the 5th.

Solomon

Solomon sighs. He hurries back to the window and readies his bow. He may get one last shot at the second militia man. "This is a great tragedy today, children. I am very sorry. We must think of the living now. Think. Where were your father and sister Jesica this morning when the bad men came?"

He will try to shoot the second milita man as he heads for his horse.

 

[DarkMaster]

Solomon aims his arrow at the militian, the arrow hits him but seems unable to go through his chain shirt[roll 6+4]. Right after being hit he quickly glance at you with a defying look and accelerate.

The girl seems very troubled, Solomon's harsh attitude seems to worsen the situation, the little girl starts to cry even more [OOC untrained Diplomacy roll 11 - 1, I set the DC to 25 because of the shock she is under]
" I don't know, I don't know my mother just died, I don't know, Bwah bwah bwah, Don't kill me, we did nothing, BWah Bwah"

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

The bloodlust of vengence still in his heart, Solomon continues to fire at the fleeing man until the man is killed or is out of range. [+4(1d8+3)]

Afterwards, he turns back to the children and ponders briefly. He barely knows these children, who have been through a harrowing experience. He knows he is somewhat scary looking, ugly, foreign, heavily armed and wearing the same militia badge of those who just killed their mother.

"I will not harm you. I only want to help save your father and sister, if they are still alive, as I saved your lives. Please, we must search the house." He tries to gently get them moving out the door. "You must show me your sister's room."

 

[DarkMaster]

Solomon ,pull a second arrow out of his quiver, aim, at the militian who is about to jump on his horse. He let go [3+4] the arrow fall short. He quickly takes another arrow and let it go, the militian is now on the horse [17+4 dmg 4+3] The arrow hits him in the back, for a few moment Solomon thinks that his arrow had no impact but he is rejoice when he sees the men falling like a rock from the horse's back.

The children are still terified, Solomon can't calm them down, when he asks about their sister's room the little boy points the second room from the left.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon smiles at his downed opponent. He makes a mental note to go check the body before he returns to town center. But his most important task is to find Jessica. He shakes his head, sad that he can't calm down the children. But he knows he can't help them much mentally. His job is to keep them physically safe. Gently, pushing them out of the room, into the hallway, he goes to the next door. He tries breifly to shush the kids, before barging into Jessica's room.

 

[DarkMaster]

Solomon enters Jessica's room, he doesn't noticed any signs of violence whatsoever. Everything is placed where it should goes, Jessica is really a very neat women (probably like her mother). Solomon quickly glances around. The only interesting thing, he sees is what seems to be a book open on her desk. [OoC Solomon could spend more time carefuly searching the furnitures if you want].

-- At the town hall

Marcus, still under chock, tells the others "We should search the room for any clues on what might have happened here, then bury properly all the victims"

Gnarll don't even wait for Marcus to finish his sentence and heads toward the central room, paying a special attention not to walk on any of the bodies.

"Careful, it's very slippery with all this blood on the ground says the huge guy as he tries to maintain his balance

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon sighs. He offers a brief prayer of thanks that at least there is no blood. She probably simply was not here when the attackers arived. He ushers the children into the room so he can keep an eye on them. Then he picks up the book and glances at the open page. Assuming its nothing particularly interesting, Solomon plans to continue searching the house while keeping the kids with him, looking for Jessica, her father, or clues to their whereabouts. "I'm sorry, little ones" he keeps repeating to them. "We must keep looking for your father and sister."

Jasper Conrad

Upon hearing Gnarl and Dai's warnings, Jasper's expression hardens.

"I have to know if my family is in there."

He takes a deep breath and goes inside to look for them.
