Hey EH,
I just got your email, today! Go figure. I tried to reply but it bounced back to me.
I was a bit confused by it as I had posted several times on the last page. Then I saw the date of the message. So I don't know why the message took took so long to get to me.
But I do need to apologize to you for my lack of posting in general. You are running a great game and I enjoy Kerin. May had been a really trying month in real life for me and i know my posting has been sporatic. It should be getting better.
Hopefully I am playing a paladin in a way that works in your world.

Keef dismounts and quickly begins unhooking Swift.
The riders glance up at your group, they halt look to One-eye for a response. He mutters a few words, then one of the mercenaries begins giving orders. Eight men move their horses to the side of the road, dismount and stake down their horses. The other two remain mounted and load light crossbows. One-eye then gives further instructions to the farmer at his side.
The young man calls out : “One-eye says that the halflings are not part of this conflict and free to withdraw. The rest of you should surrender and you will not be injured. ”
Craig dithers.

"He's right there, Craig." says Xaros, dismounting. "Yours shouldn't get involved in this. If you still need a horse, take mine. I'll take One-Eye's."
Xaros looks for a good sized tree, stone, or fallen trunk to take some cover behind. "I'm betting he hasn't told his men who we are. I think they should know that if they kill us, they will be hunted men till the day they die."

"Technically, they'd only be hunted if they failed to kill all of us, no? And if they fail to kill all of us, wouldn't imply that we killed all of them?" Rayburn shrugs. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to warn them, but I doubt it will help much either."
"If violence does ensue, I do have a color spray prepared. If I can manage to get close enough, I can probably incapacitate a large number of them."

"Sounds good." replies Kerin to Xaros.
Kerin shouts back at the group. "Our quarrel is with One-eye. We seek to bring him to justice for banditry and murder. Absolve yourselves of his treachery while you can or you will face the same fate as his previous band who are buried several miles back this road. Know that we are of noble birth and a terrible venegance shall beset you should you raise arms against us. Choose the right and abandon the wicked man who brought you here or face death."
OOC: persuasion +8

"I can repeat my creation of a fog cloud like the last bandit attack. I do hope we can drive away or defeat these mercenaries without killing them all. Unlike One-eye and his gang, the mercs might not have signed up thinking they would commit a crime at all."
Lily dismounts from her pony and leads him to Craig. "No, take my Pony instead. Champ here is a loyal steed, but he doesn't have much heart for battle. Besides, he'll be easier for you to ride than him." she glances up at Xaros's towering horse.
Preparing for battle in the event diplomacy fails, Lily withdraws her longbow then casts two spells on Kerin. The first improves his magical resistance, and the second enhances the power of his longsword.
Kerin: You get a +3 resistance bonus on the next saving throw if you need to make one in the next hour. Also, your Longsword is +1 for the next 3 minutes (Lily casts this after we see how the diplomacy goes)
Evilhalfling: using the Protection domain power on Kerin, and casting Magic Weapon on his longsword after the diplomacy ends.

Xaros finds a large stone that provides cover within a single move of he road.
Cait slides down off her mount, and loops the reins around a short tree. Her hands remain empty as she contemplates the dangers of taking animal form for combat again. Craig joins Keef in detaching Swift, while another halfling holds Champ at the ready.
“But daaaad we can’t abandon our friends, If we run those guys will never back down.” Chaina pleads, her sling in hand.
One-eye continues talking to the mercenaries, but even Xaros can make out only a few of his words [sblock] “My patron will..” [/sblock]
The mercenaries continue moving, from this distance its hard to see if Kerin is having an impact. Four finish tying their horses and ready maces and shields. The two mounted men dismount and form a second rank with two others who also load x-bows. The last two mercs continue to fuss with the horses.
One-eye draws a longbow and takes up a position behind the two lines of armored men. The farmer stays by his stirrup.
Ooc: Kerin’s diplomacy 13+8 =21 : perception rolls avg = 4+ mods
