Chapter Three - Return to the Mournland

Vice begins to rematerialize behind Meepo as the false image of Vice appears in front of the Tin Pot Tavern. Two of the gunmen fire at the false gnome, while the third swears at their incompetence.

Tarin’s horse falls asleep beneath his rider. The pale bandit slides smoothly off his mount, landing on his feet. He looks down at his sleeping steed and then to Vice, his knives still in hand.

Tarin looks from Vice to Meepo. He then begins to run down the street and around the corner toward Sheriff’s jailhouse. Sheriff continues to sprint toward Kalli’s.

The last awaiting gunman fires at Sheriff and misses. As the lawforged reaches the corner of the town’s bakery, two more shots ring out. One pings off Sheriff’s armour, the second finds a soft spot. Sassy hisses with glee. "Gotcha!"

Two more of Ikar’s mean appear on the street near Kalli’s house, one yells to Tarin, "Hey Boss, where ya goin’?"

Tarin yells back, "To tell Sheriff what a bad boy I’ve been!"

The two men look at each other in confusion.

Throughout the town, shots ring out on all sides. Main Street turns into a shootout.

Two bolts of lightning strike the fleeing gunman. The salvager whips around and returns a shot of his own. The bullet strikes the warforged in the shoulder

Tryne and Talon move up to confront Sassy. The artificer’s firebolt finds its mark and the Tabaxi hisses in anger.

The three gunman gather and open fire on the partially surrounded Sheriff. Two of the shots hit the embattled lawforged, the third misses wildly.

At the end of the street, one salvager yells at Harry, "Beat it, runt" and swings a club at the shopkeeper, who is knocked to the ground. The water stops flowing, though the flames are nearly out. The other salvager fires into the alley at Vice. The little gnome feels the bullet tear a gash in his arm.
