"What? And miss al this glorious combat? There's more of the bastards around wanting to fighy." Lynistra looks at Adrex with a confused look, as though she doesn't even know if she is serious or just sarcastic.

„We are here to help, not to fight Lyn. I am willing to fight, but only if we need to“ Adrex says this in a friendly, but very definitive way, as if he will not accept any other approach.

"Adrex, when will you see we are two sides of the same coin. You want to save the innocents, I want to drive the attackers away," she gives a devious smile, "It all acconplishes the same goal."

As Lynistra makes this statement you hear a door opening. You see a dwarven head poke out of the opening "Why are you folks arguing out here in the open." As the dwarf scans your group He sees Linan and the rest. "Quickly every one inside. Linan I am glad to see you are mostly okay. Get those children in here before they are heard by those ugly kobolds!"

littles get inside quickly like the dwarf said...little pigs looks both ways battle axe in hand  ready for the ugly to come around the corner

„We can discuss later Lynista. Let us now get inside first. Bring the people to save. Than we can talk what we will do next.“

As you are stand outside the keep you hear the door shut, and some loud voices talking. After a moment or two a different person opens the door fully. "Quickly children inside." Before you stands a gentleman who looks to be in his mid 60's. "Are you sell swords? We could use some help please. Please come inside so we can talk." He opens the door and invites you all in. "Quickly we must move quickly."

Fontaine bows.

"I would sell my sword to you for a high price, but it is nothing special. Helping you myself may be better." 

He moves inside.

Adrex goes inside to see whats going on in there and to bring the Children to save.

Adrex walks through the door to the sounds of people hustling about. You see small groups of children and women. You see some wounded and you can hear screams in the distance. "please follow Escobert to my office. Please." 

(What would you folks like to do?)

Quote from Swarmsie >>

(What would you folks like to do?)

(It looks like everyone is inside)

As you enter the keep a dwarf escorts you to a small office. "Please have a seat, I am Castellan Escobert and the human how asked you back here is governor Tarbaw Nighthill. He will be with you in one moment." with that the dwarf leaves.

After a few minutes Tarbaw enters the room. "Thank you for your time, and you folks could not have come at a better time. As you may have seen we are under attack and I would like to ask for your help. Since the attacks have started I have noticed a few places that the invaders have spent more time around that may be good places to strike at their forces but my numbers are to spread out to mount a good push on them. Can you please help us?"

Fontaine smiles reassuringly. He is still standing.

"I am no match for a dragoon, but I am willing to do my best against the others. That is," continues Fontaine, frowning slightly,"

 if there were some sort of...eh..compensation. I don't need much, but this is a risky thing you want for a stranger."

"As far as the dragon goes we have only seen it flying around, it has never landed in town. Compensation on the other hand I think I can come up with something for you all."

Fontaine nods, having made up his mind.

"Alright. I'm game," he says, then turns to the others.

"What about you, friends?"

"As follower of Bahamut, its my duty to help the helpless. You can count on me." Adrex sounds really proud. "But, can you give us some more information? Why do they attack? What do they want? and who are they?"

"The only thing I know right now is that they are taking all our treasures. Maybe if you all could take one of them as a prisoner we could get some answers."

"Do you have something rare that they want to steal maybe? Well, we can catch one of them i think. What locations do the attacker priorize at the moment?"

"I have received reports that there are people trapped in the temple to Chauntea and there may be people trapped at the saw mill. I also fear that we will not be able to use the main doors for much longer." As Nighthill says this he leads you out of the office and toward a side room. "Castellan, Amrak can you help these folk?" You see two dwarfs walking toward your group. One of the you see is the dwarf that lead you to the office. Castellan has bright red hair that is all knotted and tangled. "Aye we can help. Follow us." As the gruff dwarf leads you farther into the keep. "So we be surrounded outside so we not be using the front door much fur now. But I got a tunnel ya can use to get out."
