You awake to a crashing noise --half of you with headaches and other drink-related side-effects...

"Shhh...!" You hear from outside your door.

"Do you think they heard us?"

"I don't know. They are supposed to be asleep, we should be fine."

"These are dangerous men, they kidnapped the mayors daughter, and now they have been seen trying to lure the baron's away. We need to put a stop to them."

"I heard they were 'heroes'. :("

Roald's head is pounding like a bell in a dungeon. His blather is trying to tell him something too.
did I drink that much? Did I drink?!? You idiot, you better hope you didn't do anything stupid. Then he notices the voices. His brain switches to survival mode. Still lying in bed, with his left arm he reaches for his sword while at the same time kicking Albert softly with his right foot.
"Albert, wake up, arm yourself" He whispers very loudly.

Roald slowly gets out of bed and positions himself next to the door, his back to the wall.

Albert sits up, still only half awake. "Huh?" Then Roald's words sink in. He grabs his trusty stick and stands facing the doorway. Ready to face what will be coming through.

Adrenaline rushes trough Norberts body before he realizes what is going on. Ready to chase away a wolf from his flock he notices he is standing next to the bed looking around rather confused. "Wuh?"

From outside you hear hushed voices:

"Open the door. I've got your back."

"You open the door. I've got your back."

A quiet footfall, and then the latch rattles. The door will be open in moments if you want to do anything first?

What do you do?

The voices coming from the other side of the door make it clear to Albert that these guys are not here for a friendly chat, and also not all too professional. In a split second reaction, Albert rushes forward toward the door and raises his leg to give it a solid kick. Hoping that it will hit whoever's on the other side square in the face.

Just as his foot is about to hit the door, he wonders. Does this door even open this way? But it's already too late to abort.

- Albert -

The door bursts open into the lead assailant, knocking him backwards into his companions before slamming shut on you again as it rebounds off his face.

"What happened?! How did they do that?!" Come the startled exclamations from the other side. They know you are awake, but none of them seem confident enough to approach the door again.

What do you do?

Albert was ready to make a great one-liner. Something like "Didn't your mother ever teach you to knock first?". But that's out of the question now that the door is shut again.

Confused about how exactly to continue, he looks to Norbert and Roald for help.

Having seen what a crossbow does during the storming of the other other baron, Norbert tries to upend his bed to use it as a makeshift barrier and will pull the dog behind it out of harms way.

"Did you see anything out there? How many are there?"
Apr 12, 2023 12:44 pm
"I'm sure I heard at least 2 voices." Albert replies in a hushed voice.
Apr 12, 2023 3:25 pm
'' Nice move Albert, maybe we can repeat that one in 15 seconds '' Then in a louder voice.
''You on the other side of the door, I'm gonna count to 20 and open the door. Anyone who is still there will meet the cold steel of our freshly sharpened swords. You should know better than to challenge us! ''
He starts counting slowly, signaling Albert to kick it again at the count of 15.
Apr 12, 2023 4:04 pm
''4....5.....6....''

Knock knock, who's there? - (2d6+1)

(62) + 1 = 9

Apr 12, 2023 4:10 pm
"'Twenty'?" A querulous voice on the other side says. "How much is 'twenty'? How long do we have? Oh, bugger it, I am out of here."

You hear a scrabbling of many feet as everyone seems to be leaving in a hurry.

What do you do?

Albert follows Roald's idea of kicking again after 15 seconds. With a grunt, he once again presses his foot to the door. "20!"
Apr 13, 2023 7:20 am
Norbert sets himself up next to the door to squeeze out of the crack as soon as Albert kicks the door. Axe in hand, he looks again if the dog is safe and tries to judge Albert posture to see whe he reaches twenty.

He braces himslef to fly out low and hack the first knee he encounters. This adventuring can be some nasty business.

The door flies open again. Moderated by experience, it does not bounce closed again this time.

Norbert: As you fly out you see the slowest of these men who were set to ambush you running away. If you wanted --or if you were too set in your plan to change it-- you could deliver an axe to the knee and prevent him from getting away.

What do you do?

Knowing full well he might still criple the man for life, Norbert swings the blunt side of the axe at the mans knee.

- Norbert -

There is a loud crunch and the man falls to the ground screaming in pain and clutching his knee. He pleads for help from his friends but they look back in fear and run even faster.

What do you do?
Apr 13, 2023 1:45 pm
"Shut up." Norbert says to the man on the ground and raises his axe threatningly. He looks around to see if Albert and Roald are following and hopes the girl from last night did not witness this.

"Lets get him inside." He urges on the men.
