Durnan rolls his eyes over toward Yagra as if to say 'This one?' He looks back to Dolar, picking up a cloth napkin from a felled table and wipes the troll blood off, then holds it up.
"You fought decently yourself, kid. However this sword has seen lifetimes of action, and does't need the likes of you." He means no offense, but he's not about to hand over this sword any time soon, especially to an upstart. "I'll get you untainted ale." he grunts, moving back behind he bar where he belongs.
People are starting to reorient themselves, picking up a few knocked over tables, and conversation begins to pick back up. Conversation about the troll and he brawl that broke out. Plenty to gossip about now. At one table, a man is bragging about dealing considerable damage to the troll, and taking out six stirges all by himself. His audience seems captive listening to his story.
Jalester, sighs, wiping stirge guts from his uniform. It's going to be another long night it seems. He looks around for Siobhan, and upon finding her makes his way over. "Hey, I'm going to go start the paperwork and filing reports for this incident. Hold down the fort here for now."
"All will become equal now" | "Cause we're going to shout it loud, even if our words seem meaningless. It's like we're carrying the weight of the world"
Siobhan nods as she looks over at the downed thug and then at Yagra, seeing as she had techincally swung the first blow against Krentz after being insulted. "As you order captain. Should I bring her eith me on my way back to the barracks? At the very least she has clearly broken two or more laws which would include brandishing a weapon without cause as an insult is no reason to do so. The others would be attacking a citizen and more then liekly disturbing the peace. The reason I jumped to her aid is that she was clearly outnumbered by those thugs."
After a moment she pauses and runs a hand across her cheek. "Although there is a way around it if we decide to day she was hired by Durnan to protect his bar... Even if it is clearly not needed after his display with that sword of his.... I will defer to your judgement on this matter."

Phineas when all is said and done, the fight over... she holds up her forefinger that had produced the Fire Bolt to her mouth and blows a puff smoke into Mallory's face, "you are a pain in my bum, ruin a perfectly good shot, I had that Troll dead-to-rights,"she goes off on him... complaining! Then noting the damage that been wrought... the injured and such she pulls out herHealer's Kit and uses it to stabilize anyone who may be dying otherwise if too late and they have already passed then Phineas knows that the next best thing to do for them is to go through their pockets and look for any loose coins and other valuables.

Dolar bumps into Phineas while each of them search the bodies. "Oops -- it appears we both had the same idea! I'm Dolar, by the way," he says, grinning a toothy smile. "I noticed you were one of the ones who stayed behind to help in the battle. What say you about us splitting whatever we find between you, me and...whomever I saw you talking to over there."

Phineasgrabs her head after their little bump crying out, "hey, watch where you are going, buddy!"She gives Dolara sideways glance trying to size him up Insight7, "I don't know what you are talking about," she gives him a coy flirty smile! "I'm a good girl, me and my trusty Healer's Kit here are just looking to help out these poor unfortunates, yeah, that's it, that's what I'm doing!"Then Phineas as she hears mention of a splitshe gives him a wide happy child-like grin, scratching her chin thinking, "hmm a 50-50 split sounds good but I lost an extremely valuable gold pinky ring with a cat's eye ruby... if we find it, that there is all mine... got it???" Persuasion4
The Jester puts her left-hand up and spitsinto her palm and offers her hand to Dolar to shake and seal the deal... "I'm Phineas Fop, the one and only, by the way, a pleasure to meet ya... who the hell are you anyway? I like the cut of your jib young man!!! But just between you and me, we don't want to bring her into it... she is with the watch... and don't play nice with others, not like you and me!"
OOC: I'm all in, sounds like an interesting start to a beautiful relationship...
Phineas and Dolar: Between the two of you you find 14cp, 7sp, and 2gp. The thugs equipment is standard leather armor, and a simple scimitar and hand crossbow. There are 12 crossbow bolts. Dolar it takes you a little while and you nearly miss it, but you do find a scrap of paper in the thugs pocket.
It appears to be a list of names. There are 4 names and 2 are crossed off. Blathio Wimplewort Fimel Sarken Vanessa Mariana Larai Kosselweint
None of the names are familiar to you, Dolar.
Siobhan:Jalesterruns a hand down his face. He likes Yagra, but he's also aware of her associations and he has his suspicions about the fight that broke out. "We should bring her in. The magisters will likely slap her with fines, which will be easily taken care of, but that's due process in the city."

Phineastakes and pockets Sleight of Hand6 her share of the coins... 7 cp, 3 sp, and 1 gpnot at all interested in any of the equipment (i.e. she does not want to lug things about to try pawn later) so leaves the lot of it for either Dolar to have all to himself as he prefers or other scavengers that might come along later. Phineas has a general preference for more easily portable valuables so as to not to attract attention or slow her down. She scrambles frantically to gather up the coins she drops (fumbles) clankingand clatteringas they hit the floor bouncing and rolling everywhere!!! Giggling hysterically and loudly... she looks over at Dolar, "just performing a gravity check. Everything is fine! It's all good! Nothing to see here!" Then starts mumbling in the Goblin tongue under her breath some rather vile and disgusting unladylike words... attempting to chase each and every coin down.
Phineasnot noticing the scrap of paper at all Phineas is totally oblivious, not that she would care or be interested in it even if she had spotted it.
Once recovering whatever coins she is able, the Jester looks at Dolar and grins, "not a bad haul if I do say so myself, pleasure doing business with you kind sir," giving him a come-hither seductive look and a coy wink, "care to buy a girl a drink sailor?

Siobhan nods and looks to the half orc. "I think a night in somewhere else will be good for her. I'll need you to send me some grunts to help haul the unconscious ones to the holding cells." She says to him as she turns towards Yagra and begins to make her way over to her, keeping her hand close to her weapons incase the half orc attacks.
She stops though to look at Phineas first. "You really are quite the flatterer. I offer to pay for you to bathe and yet here you trying to push yourself on a young boy." As if she was jealous she moves on towards Yagra, huffing as she walks past the jester.
"Yagra you know that you broke several laws in the last hour. I have you for attacking a citizen, drawing a weapon with out due cause. And yes attacking him for an insult does breal that law. Lastly for starting a bar brawl. If you come now you'll get off easiers then the guy on the floor aince ylu never attacked a warch member."
Not for the first or likely last time, Rogeris caught between getting the hell out of here and avoiding any trouble, and helping out someone who might need it. Yagrais still looking a bit rough, and Roger would be glad to check up on her, but if she's not technically in the custody of the Watch, she certainly will be soon. And Roger doesn't exactly want to interfere in Watch business... but surely they can't fault him for wanting to help out? Maybe this is a chance to make a positive impression on the Watch, since he typically only crosses paths with them when he's been caught nicking someone's coin purse.
Skirting around the remains of the battle's destruction, he makes his way over to where Yagra stands with Siobhan.
"Could patch her up before you take her in, Lady," he offers, dipping his head politely to Siobhan. "She looks a bit rough."
Siobhan pauses as she turns to look at Roger, her hand still resting close to her side. She will stay close to Yagra as she listens to what he has to say. "Your offer is kind young sur but Sse will be treated by one of the members of the watch. The worst she has ahead of her is more then likely a fine and perhaps some civil service."
Siobhan, She stops though to look at Phineas first. "You really are quite the flatterer. I offer to pay for you to bathe and yet here you trying to push yourself on a young boy." As if she was jealous she moves on towards Yagra, huffing as she walks past the jester.
Phineas turns to Siobhan, "what... you were serious about the bath thing???"Throwing her arms outward and dropping to her knees rather dramatically the jester calls out to Siobhan bringing her hands together in a begging gesture, sobbing, "I was only joking with the lad... it was just a jest... its what I do... he means nothing to me, honestly, I just met him... I was just thirsty, it was a long hard battle and my coin purse is all but running on empty, well almost anyway!"Performance21"Come on... give a girl a break... I am a good-girl really, trust me, give me another chance!"Persuasion18
Siobhan pauses to look at Phineas and sighs. "Fine then you will have to stick with me and afterwards we can go to the tavern where I keep a room at times we can have you bathe and cleaned up. But anymore trouble and you will find yourself sleeping in a cell with who ever this Malory person is." The half elf seems quite serious as she gazes at the jester.
(Qnd now I can see them as roomates or something. In fact they can now have a sitcom, The Watchwoman and the Jester.)

Phineasgives a sigh of relief and elbows the empty area beside her, "yeah Mallory, you're right, that was a close one, wasn't it?"The jester hops and skips to Siobhan's side and smiles at her, "you got it!"She chirps happily... a wide smile on her painted lips, "sounds good, I will stick to you like flies over dung, how's that for sticking, pretty good huh? Just one of my many amazing talents! Give me a bath and I'll show you another!!!"She stops and pauses for a moment thinking and gives Siobhan a serious look, "why is it that flies always hover around and on dung, anyway? I have always been fascinated by the whole dung and fly connection... I am of the mind it is a celestial divine type of thing... that, or it's a conspiracy. Maybe we should stop along the way and consult a sage. Anyway, have no fear... you'll get no more trouble out of me... I'll be a good girl, I promise! Just one sec though, if you will be so kind my dear Siobhan."
@Durnan (SheepsSong)
The jester turns from Siobhan to Durnan, barkeep, make my drink to go then... it's on that fine young gentleman yonder there, pointing at Dolar... "sorry cutie-pie but I gots me a prior engagement, tough luck, I know... maybe next time... or not, so be a good boy now, ya hear, parting is such sweet sorrow... well for you more than me?" She blows him a kiss and walks past the bar and Durnan, should there be a drink waiting for her there by some miracle, she will it pick up and keep on walking straight towards Siobhan, "alright... toots, let's get the show on the road, shall we... the tub awaits! You would not really arrest me, would you? Make me sleep in a dingy old cell again, right, I really thought our relationship was important to you than that?"
OOC: A sitcom sounds pretty but Phineas would want top billing and would recommend it be called, The Amazing Talented Jester and the Shrewish Watchwoman...
Siobhan once more has to do her best not to tell the obviously touched woman off, remembering that she had promised herself she would do her best to hekp those that were done on their luck. This was her way of feeling close to her younger half sister Mara, even if the girl more then likely knew nothing of their relationship otuside of the half elf being a former maid. "I won't if you are good. Now if you still be good I will consider this other bath you mention..." A blush does show slightly on her face at the thought. She could admit despite her dirty clothing and overall appearance the jester was not to bad looking in a way.
(Oh gods poor Siobhan..... XD)

Phineasnods following just behind Siobhan still babbling, "alright I just have one quick question... relating back to the whole sticking to you thing. Which one of us is the dung and which one is the fly? I am little confused about that and the responsibilities involved. I am feeling a little tuckered out so I was thinking if it is all the same to you that I might just be the dung, at least tonight... I mean the way I see it anyway, the dung just lays there in the road right and the fly does all the actual work?"
Siobhan pauses at the question and shakes her head as she tries to think of a way to talk about this while not seeming like she is nuts to others around her. "I would rather say this is loke moss on a stone.... But if you want to be the rock you can. I am not going to bathe you though. So after you wash... and find suitable attire for bed you can lay as still as a stone to sleep."
(I love the fact this conversstion is happening while she is trying to arrest someone....)

Dolar collects his share of the coins and collects all the equipment. He's unsure whether he'll need any of it, but his time on the plains have taught him to take everything he can. He smiles as he watches Phineas fumble with her coins, then turns away slightly to read the note. Strange as it may be, he pockets it, and turns back to see the commotion going on between Phineas and what looks to be one of the members of the City Watch.
His eyes dart directly to a wounded Yagra, whom he sees posting up against the wall. Along the way towards her, he hears Phineas' address to Durnan, and he once again grins a toothy smile at both the weird jester lady and the old barkeep. He heard what Durnan said to him earlier and took no offense, as he's actually quite fond of axes, anyway. "I appreciate your offer of untainted ale, innkeeper. This is just reward for such an occasion. I hope you could be so kind as to extend the same gesture to everyone else who risked their lives during the battle," he says, pointing a finger at Phineas.
He finally gets to Yagra and gently places his left hand on her right shoulder. "You fought both honorably and bravely, Yagra. I hope you get the rest you need, and I'm sure we will see each other again."
He turns to Siobhan. "And you! City Watchman...or Watch...woman. Watch-person?" He flusters. "Uhh I also noticed you during the fight. My respect to those who defend this grand city. I am Dolar. This is all very new to me. I wanted to mention that shortly after the battle, I found this near one of the dead men who ambushed Yagra." He hands her the note with the four names on it.
@DarthDrizzt:
Just as an updated reminder, the note contains the following, and Dolar is unfamiliar with these names:
Phineas and Dolar:Durnan will pour another drink for Phineas, having it ready at the bar as you pass by. "This is the last of your dragon."he tells her. To Dolarhe says, "If they want to pay for a drink, they're more than welcome to it." He will hand you a newly poured ale however and will not charge you.
Siobhan:Yagraseems extremely put out as she watches you approach in the official manner of the Watch after talking with Captain Silvermane who she is familiar with. As you are listing off the charges an elvish man, with flowing blonde locks and an easy smile makes his way over. He's dressed in a nice vest and doublet. "Officer, I don't mean to interrupt, but Yagra is a dear friend of mine, and I can assure you that whatever trouble she is in is simply a misunderstanding of circumstances. I'd be happy to accompany both of you down to the nearest Watchhouse to help get this sorted out. Though,"He looks between Phineas and Siobhan,"If you are otherwise occupied, I can assure you I can escort her there myself. I will explain to Captain Silvermane personally what transpired tonight with that.... roughian who attacked my friend here." Persuasion: 15
As a note for rolling persuasion against PC's, it's up to the PC whether or not they are persuaded to make a decision. You can take the roll into consideration, but ultimately, its a decision you are making, and if you don't think your character would make that decision as enticing as it sounds, that's up to you.
On rolling insight against a PC, that can be up to the player as well. If you want someone to be able to glean details about you and they roll insight, you can tell them straight up what they learn from that. If you're lying about something and a PC rolls insight, it would be vs your deception. If you're telling a story and a PC thinks you're lying and rolls insight, it would be vs your persuasion, and you dont' have to say what it is when you roll if you want to maintain the mystery behind your characters or what have you. Also when you roll for insight on someone PC or NPC say what it is you are trying to learn.
I hope that makes sense? If you have any questions feel free to ask or pm me.
At Roger's offer to heal her Yagralooks like she wants to take it, but Siobhanturns him down before she can. Her friend pats her on the shoulder reassuringly.
"All will become equal now" | "Cause we're going to shout it loud, even if our words seem meaningless. It's like we're carrying the weight of the world"

Insight against the friend: 21
The half elf looks to Phineas "No she can wait or can come along as well. Despite what you say she was the one to attack first and I can assure you that the rrst of the thugs invovled will be rounded up as well before the night is through." Siobhan pauses as she hears Dolar, turning to look at him and take the note. When she hears that one is dead she almost runs a ahnd through her hair but stips as she realizes that the captain will handle the reports invovled in that. "I thank you for this young man. My adive would be for you to stay out of trouble."
She then looks at the injured half orc and sighs gently, feeling bad for not letting her be healed. "You can heal her. I was merely still in combat mode..." She tells Roger.
Durnan rolls his eyes over toward Yagra as if to say 'This one?' He looks back to Dolar, picking up a cloth napkin from a felled table and wipes the troll blood off, then holds it up.
"You fought decently yourself, kid. However this sword has seen lifetimes of action, and does't need the likes of you." He means no offense, but he's not about to hand over this sword any time soon, especially to an upstart. "I'll get you untainted ale." he grunts, moving back behind he bar where he belongs.

@Siobhan
Phineas gives a sigh of relief and elbows the empty area beside her, "yeah Mallory, you're right, that was a close one, wasn't it?" The jester hops and skips to Siobhan's side and smiles at her, "you got it!" She chirps happily... a wide smile on her painted lips, "sounds good, I will stick to you like flies over dung, how's that for sticking, pretty good huh? Just one of my many amazing talents! Give me a bath and I'll show you another!!!" She stops and pauses for a moment thinking and gives Siobhan a serious look, "why is it that flies always hover around and on dung, anyway? I have always been fascinated by the whole dung and fly connection... I am of the mind it is a celestial divine type of thing... that, or it's a conspiracy. Maybe we should stop along the way and consult a sage. Anyway, have no fear... you'll get no more trouble out of me... I'll be a good girl, I promise! Just one sec though, if you will be so kind my dear Siobhan."
@Durnan (SheepsSong)
The jester turns from Siobhan to Durnan, barkeep, make my drink to go then... it's on that fine young gentleman yonder there, pointing at Dolar... "sorry cutie-pie but I gots me a prior engagement, tough luck, I know... maybe next time... or not, so be a good boy now, ya hear, parting is such sweet sorrow... well for you more than me?" She blows him a kiss and walks past the bar and Durnan, should there be a drink waiting for her there by some miracle, she will it pick up and keep on walking straight towards Siobhan, "alright... toots, let's get the show on the road, shall we... the tub awaits! You would not really arrest me, would you? Make me sleep in a dingy old cell again, right, I really thought our relationship was important to you than that?"
OOC: A sitcom sounds pretty but Phineas would want top billing and would recommend it be called, The Amazing Talented Jester and the Shrewish Watchwoman...
Siobhan once more has to do her best not to tell the obviously touched woman off, remembering that she had promised herself she would do her best to hekp those that were done on their luck. This was her way of feeling close to her younger half sister Mara, even if the girl more then likely knew nothing of their relationship otuside of the half elf being a former maid. "I won't if you are good. Now if you still be good I will consider this other bath you mention..." A blush does show slightly on her face at the thought. She could admit despite her dirty clothing and overall appearance the jester was not to bad looking in a way.
(Oh gods poor Siobhan..... XD)

@Siobhan
Phineas nods following just behind Siobhan still babbling, "alright I just have one quick question... relating back to the whole sticking to you thing. Which one of us is the dung and which one is the fly? I am little confused about that and the responsibilities involved. I am feeling a little tuckered out so I was thinking if it is all the same to you that I might just be the dung, at least tonight... I mean the way I see it anyway, the dung just lays there in the road right and the fly does all the actual work?"
Siobhan pauses at the question and shakes her head as she tries to think of a way to talk about this while not seeming like she is nuts to others around her. "I would rather say this is loke moss on a stone.... But if you want to be the rock you can. I am not going to bathe you though. So after you wash... and find suitable attire for bed you can lay as still as a stone to sleep."
(I love the fact this conversstion is happening while she is trying to arrest someone....)

DOLAR
Dolar collects his share of the coins and collects all the equipment. He's unsure whether he'll need any of it, but his time on the plains have taught him to take everything he can. He smiles as he watches Phineas fumble with her coins, then turns away slightly to read the note. Strange as it may be, he pockets it, and turns back to see the commotion going on between Phineas and what looks to be one of the members of the City Watch.
His eyes dart directly to a wounded Yagra, whom he sees posting up against the wall. Along the way towards her, he hears Phineas' address to Durnan, and he once again grins a toothy smile at both the weird jester lady and the old barkeep. He heard what Durnan said to him earlier and took no offense, as he's actually quite fond of axes, anyway. "I appreciate your offer of untainted ale, innkeeper. This is just reward for such an occasion. I hope you could be so kind as to extend the same gesture to everyone else who risked their lives during the battle," he says, pointing a finger at Phineas.
He finally gets to Yagra and gently places his left hand on her right shoulder. "You fought both honorably and bravely, Yagra. I hope you get the rest you need, and I'm sure we will see each other again."
He turns to Siobhan. "And you! City Watchman...or Watch...woman. Watch-person?" He flusters. "Uhh I also noticed you during the fight. My respect to those who defend this grand city. I am Dolar. This is all very new to me. I wanted to mention that shortly after the battle, I found this near one of the dead men who ambushed Yagra." He hands her the note with the four names on it.
@DarthDrizzt:
Just as an updated reminder, the note contains the following, and Dolar is unfamiliar with these names:
Blathio WimplewortFimel SarkenVanessa Mariana
Larai Kosselweint
Phineas and Dolar: Durnan will pour another drink for Phineas, having it ready at the bar as you pass by. "This is the last of your dragon." he tells her. To Dolar he says, "If they want to pay for a drink, they're more than welcome to it." He will hand you a newly poured ale however and will not charge you.
Siobhan: Yagra seems extremely put out as she watches you approach in the official manner of the Watch after talking with Captain Silvermane who she is familiar with. As you are listing off the charges an elvish man, with flowing blonde locks and an easy smile makes his way over. He's dressed in a nice vest and doublet. "Officer, I don't mean to interrupt, but Yagra is a dear friend of mine, and I can assure you that whatever trouble she is in is simply a misunderstanding of circumstances. I'd be happy to accompany both of you down to the nearest Watchhouse to help get this sorted out. Though," He looks between Phineas and Siobhan, "If you are otherwise occupied, I can assure you I can escort her there myself. I will explain to Captain Silvermane personally what transpired tonight with that.... roughian who attacked my friend here."
Persuasion: 15
As a note for rolling persuasion against PC's, it's up to the PC whether or not they are persuaded to make a decision. You can take the roll into consideration, but ultimately, its a decision you are making, and if you don't think your character would make that decision as enticing as it sounds, that's up to you.
On rolling insight against a PC, that can be up to the player as well. If you want someone to be able to glean details about you and they roll insight, you can tell them straight up what they learn from that. If you're lying about something and a PC rolls insight, it would be vs your deception. If you're telling a story and a PC thinks you're lying and rolls insight, it would be vs your persuasion, and you dont' have to say what it is when you roll if you want to maintain the mystery behind your characters or what have you. Also when you roll for insight on someone PC or NPC say what it is you are trying to learn.
I hope that makes sense? If you have any questions feel free to ask or pm me.
At Roger's offer to heal her Yagra looks like she wants to take it, but Siobhan turns him down before she can. Her friend pats her on the shoulder reassuringly.
"All will become equal now" | "Cause we're going to shout it loud, even if our words seem meaningless. It's like we're carrying the weight of the world"
Insight against the friend: 21
The half elf looks to Phineas "No she can wait or can come along as well. Despite what you say she was the one to attack first and I can assure you that the rrst of the thugs invovled will be rounded up as well before the night is through." Siobhan pauses as she hears Dolar, turning to look at him and take the note. When she hears that one is dead she almost runs a ahnd through her hair but stips as she realizes that the captain will handle the reports invovled in that. "I thank you for this young man. My adive would be for you to stay out of trouble."
She then looks at the injured half orc and sighs gently, feeling bad for not letting her be healed. "You can heal her. I was merely still in combat mode..." She tells Roger.
