Chapter 1.1: Willowdark (Kaio, Geran, Rixon)

OOC:

How much, exactly, did it sting his neck?
EDIT: Kaio would hold his action until the guards make a move. Since Rixon indicated that the guards could see them, I'm guessing the guards will implicate them in the crime and go after them. If that happens, Kaio will go behind them and try to hit them while they are distracted. For that, I am adding a Stealth roll.

Kaio now has a dilemma. Does he act, or not? If so, these guards must be neutralized... and with Notter coming to town, two guards gone missing could be bad news indeed. Unless...
Darting out of the shadows, Kaio rolls to the guards' very feet, drawing his sword as he does and slashing at Eddan's gut. As he does so, he brings his pommel up and attempts to connect with Pyter's jaw.

OOC:

Wait - since I was hidden, do I get advantage to melee attacks if I come out of hiding? I'm going to go with 'no', but if I do lemme know and I reroll where necessary.

Rixon feels relief and dread in quick succession at Kaio's rapid assault. Without deliberation, he steps from his own hiding place. With both rapiers drawn, he says, Yes, Eddan. We saw. and unceremoniously drives the blades towards the man's side.

OOC:

The guards cannot see any of you three. All of you are hidden or otherwise obscured. From where you are, all you can tell is that it definitely drew blood. How badly though, you cannot say. He didn't drop his blade and fall like a toddler having a tantrum in a store. And I would say you'd get advantage on this first round since you'd be moving and attacking in one close in block. The same would go for the rest of you. This is in part because of your stealth roll as you came out of the shadows. Go ahead and give me a pair of extra rolls.

EDIT

OOC:

I had started writing before Rixon posted his action. :)

As Kaio rolls out, his blade slashes up at Eddan's gut, slicing him from groin to sternum. The man's innards spill out, and he looks down in shock. My - my chain - who...... he mutters slowly as the light fades from his eyes. Even as he collapses, Kaio's arms move and his elbow connects with Pyter's jaw, cracking his teeth together.

As Rixon rushes forward, he makes his attack. Seeing his initial target fall, he redirects to Pyter. Unfortunately, the surprise of Kaio's attack causes him to whirl in a circle, making Rixon's blows narrowly miss their mark.

OOC:

Been busy with school, sorry for the delay. I assume I get advantage as well?

The warlock carefully studied the guards voice, taking note on a future impersonation if a situation calls for it. That gnome better...nevermind he sighs as he sees the gnome fall to the ground. I'm not just an illusionist he says to Rixon, and immediately his necklace faintly glows, and blue energy beams in Gerans hands. He watches the first guard die, and aims instead for the other, firing a beam of crackling energy at the enemy.

The streak of eldritch energies streak out from Geran's fingers. It sails across the courtyard just as Pyter turns to face the sound Rixon made. Doing so squares his face to the blast and the force energy drills into him, shattering his jaw and bursting one eye. He is knocked over, falling with a thud, his chest still.

Combat Over.

What in the hells was that! Ye killed the Watch! Oh lord, you all killed friends of Notter! Run! Run now. We didn't see you lot, and if you know what's good for you, you didn't see us either. Go before they get wind inside! says Tiller the Dwarf, waving at the lot of you. You hear the music has gone quiet in the tavern.

Jan 10, 2017 9:51 pm

Rixon turns to the Bluebottle on the ground, completely disregarding the fallen guardsmen and warnings of the Dwarf, Even drunk, you must’ve known how that would end, Rixon kneels and places his hands on the gnome’s shattered body, feeling for his breath, looking for a way to preserve his life. Come on, man, Rixon mutters, as the healing Light courses from his palms into the gnome.

If he’s still alive, Rixon will use 1 HP of Lay on Hands to stabilize him and hopefully bring him back around

Jan 10, 2017 9:59 pm

A faint golden shimmer of light pulses under Rixon's hands. Davven's eyelids flutter slightly and his breathing normalizes slightly. You can see the stab wound in his back knit itself closed. Unfortunately, as you bump his legs, there is no reaction.

What - wher - where am I? What happened? Everything was warm, and my boy, he was there waiting to hug me again! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THAT FROM ME! Davven starts to yell and attempts to roll over. As he does, he seems to notice his legs not functioning any longer. A howl pierces the night as he pounds his fists, out of agony and anger.

Jan 10, 2017 10:11 pm

And he'll be waiting still. But now you have another chance to send those that wrongfully executed him to their rightful deaths. I gave you another chance to do right by your boy.

And Rixon turns to the Dwarf; I suppose you're right. None of us should be here long. Can you carry your friend? I fear he can no longer walk, Rixon says, solemnly.

Kaio collects himself, cleans his blade on Eddan's clothes and sheaths it. For good measure, he pulls his dart from where it had lodged itself in Eddan's neck - he had fallen on it and driven it nearly through - and cleans it as well.
"We need to deal with these," Kaio says. "But don't worry, I have a plan." He picks Eddan up, feeding his intestines back into his body methodically before doing so. "Rixon, can you grab the other? And would you follow me? Gerna, could you clean up any blood- " he pulls Eddan's cloth belt from his body and drops it on the ground, "with this? Then bring it along." he begins walking quickly straight east, away from the town.

Geran replies immediately with a tone of annoyance My name is Geran, not Gerna... he then turns to Davven It's true, your son has all of eternity to wait for you, but right now we need you more. You want revenge? You want to see Telluria return to health? Then join us! Both of you. You just saw our potential in action, and that was without real effort. he kneels down to the gnome and offers a smile. Can't you see that this is what your son would have truly wanted? Your legs aren't working, but you still have heart my friend. I'm sure there's a job for you sir. he looks at the dwarf, You too, both of you, join the cause, and defeat the problem rather than lingering and letting it grow. I promise you a better Telluria, and when my fa... he catches himself, when this war ends, and when Wessex is gone, then King Anvilard will be the ruler we need. He stretches his hand out to the gnome, What say you friend?

As Kaio begins cleaning the grisly scene, Rixon lifts the Gnome and seats him back at the table with the dwarf, Really. Go. Take your families, bring food, only return once Notter has left. It won't be safe here.

He returns to where the guards fell and lifts the remains of Pyter as Kaio had asked. There was little time for deliberation, now. Hopefully the market would remain empty for a little longer. As they walk under the burden of the guardsmen's lifeless bodies, Rixon says, Care to share this plan, then? I have a guess but I'd rather hear it from you.

Davven looks up from the table for a moment, his eyes still full of hurt and rage. You know nothing of my son! He cared nothing for Anvilard, that daft fool! Not that he liked Wessex any better, fiend that he is. He was to study botany in Markinland next spring. Harrald ruined all of that, and now you tell me to be STRONG?! I can't move my Dark-claimed legs. He succumbs to a fit of tears and chest wracking sobs.

Lads, leave now. Your friend has the right of it, if you don't get those bodies gone befo.... Tiller begins.

STAND TO YOU LOUTS! STOP! a voice from the tavern cries out.

You see a strapping man standing full in the doorway, his heavy black beard full, and his eyes cold.

Must've been a seriously high DC... also, can you edit the thread title from Grena to Geran? Thanks xD

Geran sighs, What has this world come to? Can't people see hope? he stands and places his hands behind his back and out of sight as they begin to glow with caution. Good evening to you sir.

I was writing as Geran posted and didn't see it til after; shall we scratch my last post? Or assume it spliced in where it keeps things flowing logically (I.e. I didn't carry off the gnome mid-conversation)?
