Episode 1: Festival and Fire

The sickening crunch and stifled cry of the fallen goblin draws a few widened stares from its compatriots. With a grunt Zahn's wicked grin fades for only a moment before returning when a goblins blade finds her flesh.

Butler grunts as the sling bolt hits him but shrugs off most of the damage. Satisfied that the crowd is moving towards safety he tries to close with the group of goblins that attacked him.

Drake approaches, weary of the battle ensuing before him. Seeing the situation he attempts to weave through the crowd to get a better, and closer, look at the goblins.

Butler falls back on his training and plants his shield squarely in front on him, minimising the target he's presenting to the goblins as he swings his sword round in a viscous arc.

Using a maneuver to Aim at the nearest Goblin, firing at it with repeating crossbow.Alaric orders Stormbringer to watch the rear and tells Jenna to draw her horse bow and stay between Alaric and Stormbringer That doesn't mean you're supposed to fight though. Maintain your position Jenna and take some shots as you can! Stormbringer, if they close around us, fly Jenna out of here!

Alaric approaches the other defenders of the town and inclines his head. Hail and well met. I am Alaric and this is my daughter Jenna. Ah, and my flying friend here is Stormbringer. Jenna and I both know a little bit about healing, are any of you in need of healing?

Medicine check on Butler (if he's ok with that?)

+ 1 Advantage from Healer's Kit

I'm stupid, the Medicine check should have had 1 purple, not 2 unless Butler was under half his wounds. My apologies guys. Still a noob.

Butler sheaths his sword before turning to the new comer "Greetings Alaric and Jenna. My thanks for the assistance, any healing you could offer would be appreaciated"

Alaric asks Does anyone else require healing?

Once Butler's wounds have been tended he gathers himself to leave. "I directed a number of people to the church as the goblins started their attack. I am going to check there to make sure everyone is safe before I head back out to see if I can help anywhere else." he says to Alaric and Jenna "It's this way if you would care to accompany me?"

Aery yawned as he looked around outside the church from his perch. Being small didn't always benefit him especially when there was a mob of people stampeding away from danger but this time it seemed to have worked out. He opted to just go with the flow though and ended up at the church with people as they flooded in. Once there though people seemed to be at a stand still. Offering up to move pews to make it harder to flood in and attack and fortifying the doors incase something came knocking they didn't want to open the doors too. Some thought it was a good idea while others wonder who put Aery in charge. Aery offered up it was a suggestion and people could opt to not try and put the odds in their favor but who ever wanted to question if he was in charge would likely not want to get maimed by an attacker just to show they were 'the boss in charge' plus Aery pointed out him moving around that much furniture was never going to happen and would like comical if he even tried. With people's preservation in mind and a few songs to calm the anxiety thing quitted down a bit. He had opted to climb up and look around from the bell tower in case something was coming their way. Friend or foe it would be easier to see from up high.

A bit bored Aery opted to pull out a small bit of parchment and start scratching out some versus. One's own ballad of greatness rarely writes itself.

I'm heading to the church as well. I'm asking Jenna to go inside with me and I'll leave Stormbringer outside.
