War of the Lost Kingdom

The bandits struggle against the halfling together, trying to keep him down to continue beating up.

Finn cannot manage to free himself. Despite the size difference, he is also trying to fend off the strength of two people.

Struggling mightily against the mercenaries, Finn attempts to escape their grip. After this fails, he figures the only way out is with deadly force. He manages to get his hand onto the pommel of his sword before his wrist is grabbed and his arm is wrenched away.

"Oh, none a' that! Don't want to spoil this nice fight by drawing steel!" announces the grabber.

They both continue to attempt to beat Finn into unconsciousness.


"Let's give him some air, he looks dazed!" said the same man, to a vile cackle from the other. They both resolve to pick the halfling up and shove him toward the window - the same window Johann attempted firing out of. If left unchecked, they will toss poor Finn four stories into the yard in the back of the fort.

Meanwhile, in the epic struggle between Doc and his competitor, the man attempts to grapple Doc to keep him from going anywhere.

Johann's words rung out into the room, and the two thugs heads snapped back to him. Then, before any response could be had, the beastly voice of Greta rung out in mortal threat to answer. They threw Finn to the ground in unison. Greta grabbed the nearest goon to her; a man with a moustachio'd face that was disheveled from sleep. He looked about ready to pass out from fear, and weakly struggled.



COMBAT OVER

Greta would walk right into the path of a trio of officers. Two in helmets, and one helmetless sporting a black ponytail.

"Hold, all of you. What happened here?" he asked with a tone of nonchalant authority. Now that the fog of war had cleared, fort soldiers were gathering at the exits of the barrackway, keeping mercenaries from leaving. They seemed to be getting questioned in groups. The black haired man honed in on Greta. "Bloody one. Were you part of this brawl?"

The dark haired man gave Doc a once-over. "Yeah? Why?"
