Memories of Holdenshire.

Ugost simply tried to trait the guard down

Zaiashi is getting disappointed in the repeated fails and decides to cast arcane muscles on himself.

Vuraz will try to attack again with his warhammer.

I knock him unconsious. I do not want to kill these guards.

Zariana twists the weave and mutters something under her breath as a ghostly pale green hand takes as swipe at the more injured of the two of the riders.

Before turning to the others, "We need to go, and straight away." She puts a hand on her leg which is still bleeding and winces.

"We best cover are tracks well to give us more time." as she goes back to Pinto and remounts.

"Do you think we have time for that?" asks Vuraz looking at the unconsious guard at his feet.

I dislike speaking of this but the hardest part of hiding our tracks are the horses and cart. If we abandon them we can hide better but then they will likely capture Belton. With two horses we may be able to transfer all to cargo to them and abandon the cart. Or perhaps fins someone to sell it to.

Turning to the merchant he asks I thank you again for your help but by accompanying us you are putting yourself in danger. What do you wish to do?

With a flick of her red hair while rightly mounted on her sweet Pinto, "We can travel much faster without the cumbersome wagon. I guess leave the heavily wounded rider to be found. He is in no shape to follow us. He can watch over our wagon."

Her light green eyes are comparing her Pinto to the other new mount. Although she is getting rather used to Pinto. She shows no visible fear of Pinto at all. She even pets him.

Ugost strips the guard of armor, weapons, and anything useful or if value before bandaging his wounds and binding his arms.

Ugost wants to get the guards talking, confirm his origins then explain the story to him. He will highlight their rescue by the paladin and everything he can remember about the cult robes, the creature the paladin slew, etc. He doesn't care if the guard believes him but will stick to the facts and add much detail about the cult as possible. While he will emphasis that they were under the cults control he will not mention the memory loss. Stressing their innocence but frankly admitting their unwillingness to surrender he suggests the guards relay the story to their leaders.

If none of the party object he will proceed with the plan

Grrr. Scarfs could use a nice helpful short bow (Not longbow) and she is already in padded leather armor and has a shortsword to fight with. Don't suppose he had his salary in a convenient pouch. Scarfs likes the sound of coins jingling.
Binding isn't necessary and better to leave him at least to defend his heavily injured self. Bandaged is cool.

I can't see a point of telling him a true story since he really will not care. Just kills time. They already decided that we are 'dead or alive'. And we have no proof. Whatever we are accused of it, it has to be horrible and cruel that really 'dead and not alive' was more the issue. And they could do a better portrait of Scarfs. (She holds a pose.)

Zariana binds her leg and apologizes to the unconcious guard. "I really am terribly sorry for all of this bother."

The Deva looks at Ugost, "We're best to get moving sooner rather than later, I don't imagine explaining ourselves to him will do much good."

Then she takes one of the new horses and follows Belton, "Best to get off the roads and disappear from sight as quickly as possible." She says once they're out of earshot of the guard before turning to Scarfs, "Next time when someone asks you if you've seen anyone suspicious the appropriate answer is simply no."
