Episode 1: Pradesh

Round 4

Ybus dodges past the melee. Pushing past the double doors he beholds the filthiest kitchen he's ever seen. Dirty dishes and cookware are piled high in leaky wash basins crawling with vermin. A mangy dog looks up from gnawing at a bone in a grimy corner and growls at the halfling. To Ybus' right, a stairwell disappears into both an upper and a lower level.

Baracus faces the three remaining Adamantine Cooks (so named because their damn roast is tougher than iron...also because they're badasses). The half-orc fells Flay with a bone-crushing blow to the ribcage, and drives Puck into the floor with a vicious hammer fist. Morimoto is too fast for him though; his haymaker whistles past the cook's ear, missing by a mere inch. Morimoto slashes at Baracus' midsection with a large meat-cleaver. 10 slashing damage to Baracus.

With Rydler's guidance, Aishwarya drives her fist into Dopey's already bruised left side. The blow is perfectly placed but the dwarf's armor seems to absorb the force of it.

Harrison and Rufio pick up chairs and smash them against either side of Doc's head, knocking the dwarf to the ground, conscious but dazed. Hob holds open the rear exit door. "Come on! This way!" the halfling cries, clearly enjoying himself as much as his horned captain.

Aditya scurries towards Urban who after clearing a path for the fat Pradeshi grabs a tankard and slams it with righteous fury into Chalmun's temple. The big, hairy man sways for a moment, then falls to the floor like a plank of wood. Valrakas laughs uproariously and slaps Urban on the shoulder. The minotaur's bellowing mirth turns the heads of several of the city guards. One of them points at your group.

Erden whacks Dopey upside the head, knocking several of the dwarf's teeth loose. Dopey hits the floor with a vacuous smile on his face. Valrakas uses his horns to toss Morimoto like a bale of hay into the approaching guards, halting their progress. Nothing now stands in between you and either escape through the back door or following Ybus into the kitchen.

What do you do?

Rydler: there's no one near enough for thieving unless you're stealing from one of the downed dwarves or cooks, in which case I'd say it's auto-success. That brings you up to a total of two pouches filched.

Ybus: There's a half-eaten plate of poutine on the counter but you'll have to get past the growling dog to get to it. Peering down the stairwell there's flickering torchlight down there. Listening, you hear nothing. It's probably the cellar/larder. Then again, could be something else.

Still to act: Baracus & Erden. Urban's barricade action comes last.

We are still in combat initiative. NPC's have slipped out the back.
