Game: Waggin' Tales

Champ shakes Marvin's paw. "Pleased to meet you, Marvin! I'm Champ. You can count on me too! You sure can! Ooh, look, that cloud is shaped like a butterfly!"

"A butterfly? Where?!" Marvin looks around but not up.

You spend the rest of the day enjoying free food and drink and spreading news about a glorious shipment due to leave tomorrow. As the sun begins to fall, you all return to your resting place and get a good nights rest.

As you awake in the morning, you ready yourself and gather your things before making your way to the park. You see Lexie, awaiting you this time, dressed in a fine robe; smiling as you all trickle in and gather around. As the last of you arrive, she addresses you quietly "So the cart is ready, filled with a couple barrels of dog food to give it a bit more weight. If there is no other questions, we can make our way to where the cart rests."

To make up for yesterday Champ makes sure to be the first to show up this day. "Good morning!" the mutt greets Lexie eagerly. "I'm all set."

Wastl is dressed in similar clothes to yesterday, although this time in muted browns and greens.
He greets Lexi with a curt bow and a smile and the others with a hearty pawshake. He stores his small crossbow under one of the cart seats, climbs up and makes sure his rapier is well hidden under his cloak yet easily drawn.
Right, let's see if we can make this work.

Jack shows up right after Champ, "I"m ready whenever you are," he says with a slight bow to the others.

Arriving with Champ, Marvin gets in the back with his similarly armored pal and gives an excited, "Let's go be heroes!"

She rubs her paws together with a smile "I like your enthusiasms. Let's go." She leads you to one of the four gates out of town, where you see the cart waiting for you. You all gather in to your appointed positions; those in the back find a crossbow already back there.

With a gentle nudge, Lexie ushers the horses forward, the cart exits through the gate, and you begin down the road.

Champ wanted to be up front with Wastl but when he was reminded that meant having to hide his rapier he decided to hide in the back with the others.

Jack whispers to the others, "Two cats out there..."

He quietly grabs his bow and nocks an arrow.

Lexie raises her paws and nods at Wastl, under her breath she whispers "We are the decoys, toss your weapons, let them get close; out of the trees, out of their defenses."

Wastl lifts his rapier and crossbow theatrically into the air and drops them over his side of the cart and waves his paws in the air.
"There."
