[QUOTE="spacehulkster, post: 2044693, member: 13070"] The Fight “Rich Gnome on the road!” exclaims Dank, as they near the brigands camp. No response. They creep closer towards the clearing and spot a human lying on the cart, humming to himself. The cart is in the middle of a clearing with two small tents beyond and a larger tent on their side of the cart. Pairs of fur lined boots could be seen out the tent openings. Before a plan could be made Thalez shoots an arrow into the poor hummer, knocking him off of the cart as Valen charges the cart. The barbarians are sluggishly rising, groping for their axes and great swords. Dank could see movement in the larger tent and charges headlong into it, narrowly missing a prop-pole and takes the entire tent and its inhabitants to the ground. Elric and Felix crept forward. (Finesse is more their game) Pudge, Milo and Vern hang back, waiting for the barbarians to show themselves. Slowly they did. Suddenly, a large barbarian emerges from under the larger tents folds. Shaking the ale from his skull, he winces as Valen and Thalez quickly put two arrows in him. He falls before raising his axe. By now, most of the barbarians are jostling out of the remaining tents, while a couple in the larger tent are still scrambling to get out of the felled tent. Milo and Vern attempt to shoot the few dazed and confused barbarians standing around and miss horribly with their crossbows. Thalez changes weapons and rushes to a couple emerging from a smaller tent. Elric attempts to back stab one of the combatants, but narrowly misses Thalez. A barbarian from the other small tent emerges with a bow and shoots Elric in the shoulder. Who promptly runs towards Milo on the opposite side of the camp yelling, “Healing, I need healing!” Alone, Felix is charged by a barbarian. Pudge runs to head him off and strikes him in the shoulder, felling the man. Felix promptly stabs at the barbarian as he goes down, “Take that. Thanks for the help Pudge.” Above the clanging of swords, Thalez cries out “Three!” , “and Four!” The last two barbarians finally make it out of the large tent and are shot by Milo, Vern and Valen. Dank gathers the large tent into his arms and runs off into the woods yelling, “spoils of war!” Felix senses a prime moment and catches the last eight brigands, Valen and Thalez in an Entangle spell. A few quick shots from Vern and Milo cut down a couple of the humans. Pudge, Valen and Thalez each cut one more down. A now healed Elric, stabs the last one. As the last barbarian falls, Vern and Felix are quick to rifle through each tent and person for treasure. The rest of the group congratulates each other on their fighting prowess. Pudge begins to be-head the bodies, casting each head into the cart. “Hey, this ones got an earring!” Felix and Milo, repulsed by the sight, walk off into the woods trying to ignore the activity. After a few heads are cut, Dank comes back to the camp site wearing the tent with two eye holes cut in it, crying out “BOO! BOO!” Pudge looks up from his head duty with a snicker. “Eh, where’d you run off to?” “They were drunk” answers Dank, pulling off the tent. “Not much of a fight. I knew you could handle it!” Elric checks on the kegs of ale and determines that only 2 of the 6 kegs are in good enough shape to return to Tarin. Pudge and Dank take up removing bodies to outside the camp, so the group can rest at ease through the rest of the night. Vern assigns party members to tents and night watch. After snacking on rabbit for breakfast, Vern has everyone loading up the cart and assigns positions to either push or pull the cart. As the day goes on, everyone notices, that Felix isn’t contributing much to the trip. It came to a head, when Felix stumbled in front of Dank. “Pixie, keep out of da way! Why don’t ya scout ahead or get on the cart and file down those growths on yer back.” Astonished, Felix runs ahead and answers, “Their going to be WINGS!” As he tried to stay ahead of the group, Felix would look over his shoulder back at the Dank. By ten o clock in the morning, the group makes it back to the Inn, where they find Tarin relaxing next to a window. “Ho thar!, I see you brought me cart back.” Tarin says gleefully. As he steps around to the rear of the cart, he catches a site he wasn’t prepared for. Nine human heads staring up at him! Vern quickly diverts his attention to the two remaining kegs of ale and ask for payment. Tarin counts out 20 pieces of gold, taking notice of Pudge removing the heads and laying them outside the Coaching Inn doors. Elric walks into the Inn asking to see the proprietor for bounty payment. The party takes a couple hours of rest at the Inn, and then sets off down the road to Yartar with 110 gold and 53 silver in their pockets. “Lets go across country” Vern chimes, “we can make up some time by bypassing Yartar and crossing the fjord at Oakhurst.”* The party agrees, though they all know it will mean a couple of days under the stars. *Oakhurst, of course everyone is aware of Oakhurst. The famous Sunless Citadel! [/QUOTE]
