(Sometimes if there is a posting gap in the thread it doesn't give me a notification. I'm interested in continuing, first time playing a ranger and like it)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
I want to get this bit wrapped up before introducing new people.
As you take them back, the children recognise the caravan and go to start running away. Louisa sees one of them wearing a locket and shouts "That is the thieves!"
(Can I make a dex or acrobatics check to try and grab at least one of the kids before they bolt? I was kind of thinking they were going to be in front Angorn and Kra-osh)
You can attempt to grapple one of the kids, Athletics vs their Acrobatics or Athletics. Which one do you go for? (Kra-osh if you roll initiative above 10 you can also have a turn)
Louisa jumps into action and (with her action surge) attempts to trip the siblings.
Louisa: 1525
Kids: 1322
Managing just to get both on the ground. She sits on them.
Kids go, the two being sat on try to get up. 1021 vs 156 with the older one managing to wiggle out, spend half movement getting up and run 15ft. The older kid runs 15ft to be with the other kid and whispers in his ear.
”Come on kids, we just need you to return the things, we don't want to hurt you...” Kra-osh says, running towards the pair of kids running away, he puts himself it front of them, then attempts to grapple both of them (If possible, they're both small and Kra-osh is pretty big, so he might be able to grab both of them, otherwise, he just grabs the kid that whispered something into the other kid's ear)
Athletics to grab: 19
Second roll if necessary for the other kid (The one that was whispered to): 8
”Come on, we really need to get moving, so if you could just return the things you took, we can just go on our way, and you can go about your day, hopefully not stealing things”
The one who whispered shouts at the one who is free "Don't listen to them. They will kill us, and probably torture us. Run and learn to kill. You can avenge us by killing other false merchants like these"
Angorn sighs I took all the things they had in their camp(I'm assuming being a full grown wood I am faster than a human child) Angorn runs ahead of the child and sets up for grabbing the child as they try to run away.

Angorn is going to try and calm the kid down. We aren't here to hurt you. We tracked you because you took some items that do not belong to you. But the things you have said since we came across you has me worried. Why you children out here by yourselves and where are you parents?
The youngest speaks up scared "Our village was attacked and our parents were killed. We ran to survive, and met Jeremy in the woods. He came from a different village"
Upon hearing they are orphans, Louisa buts in "their is an orphanage in the capital where we are headed. I'm technically part owner of it."
The two youngest look hopeful at the thought of a life without having to steal. Jeremy gets angry and suffently shifts into a winged fiend, temporarily fading onto a ghost like form to escape from Kra-osh before flying away shouting" Their souls were almost mine. I'm not done with you"
(in the morning I will skip forward to the others joining)
