Fredirick Solo Fights

You find yourself sitting in a tavern at a gambler's table. You've been on a pretty solid winning streak when suddenly the door slams open and a man in a chain shirt and shield steps through. You recognize the tabard draped over his chest. This is a guard of House Bartin, the proprietor of the gambling hall you are in!

He looks your way and walks over, setting a hand on your shoulder.

Fredirick, is it? I think it's time we took a short walk. My employer would like to have a word.

The man shakes his head at you as he flexes his hand to resist the coin.

You would try to bribe a member of House Bartin? Surely this isn't your first time in our establishment. Now please, come with me before I am forced to summon my colleagues.

You make your way through the crowded space and make your way outdoors. When you exit, you notice that there isn't anyone else around and the street is rather dark. He turns to the right and starts heading towards the wharf.

As you walk along, the man keeps his pace, not saying much until you ask him a question.

Headed to the wharf. Bossman's main office is down there, just past the jetty.

Your luck has been unusually good. You've not been here much, have you? All of the major business owners have their offices on Waters Road. We just need to go in by the back door. Boss doesn't like it much when we bring gamblers in by the frontways. Sets the wrong impression. he says as he turns down an alley to the right. You can see a small pathway between buildings at the other end of the alley.

As you look about, you don't see much, a few crates about halfway down the alley. You do hear voices behind you and see a pair of city guards walking your direction.

The boss come out here? For the likes of an overlucky sot? Yeah, that's not happening. You should really come with me, if you know what's good for you.

What in the hells boy! Get down from there! Don't you know that's a good way to get shot?! the guard seethes at you from down the alleyway.

The footsteps from behind you are getting louder.

You hear several shouts from the wharf, and a few twangs.

DEMON! come cries from below.

Four arrows streak toward you as sailors on the ships launch arrows as the aerial threat, two missing and two slicing into you. They deal 9 total damage (5 and 4 respectively).
