Quodithas spends almost an hour looking over the bounties offered on the board. The escaped convict is something that he finds to be of particular interest. He nods towards the poster "Bernard, that is exactly the kind of thing that I'd like to do, I'm going to spend some time in whatever passes for an inn around here and listen to a bit of gossip. If I've got Torm's blessing, maybe I'll learn something helpful."
"It seems that our interests align then, my friend. Lead the way, and let's see if we can make some decent coin." Bernard seems excited at the prospect of chasing down a criminal.
"We should see if we can find out where the bandits have been active, whether they've been ambushing people on the roads or raiding farmers. That should give us an idea on where to start looking."
Quodithas checks the board again to see if there is any indication on it of who they should speak to about the postings. If there is, he's going to seek them out. If there isn't he's going to ask someone for directions to the nearest tapped keg...

There's a low growl as the beasts' head show, their black fur matted with blood, both a crimson and dark hue, as they slowly come out from cover. They look like wolves, but as big as horses and thick black fur. Blood still seeps onto their thick fur just as they bare their fangs. Then they move in a blur, one pouncing upon Biri and another onto Plunge. Their massive maws bite deep into the two as they try to drag them down.
@ Biri and Sanzor
(STR Save, DC 13, fail and you'll be knocked prone.)
(Question: Is it the party's turn and does this campaign use flanking rules? That is, if Yuno moves to j6, will she get advantage on her attack rolls against 2?)

"Castellan Kiara Shadowbreaker." Bernard reads the text aloud, pointing to the footnote at the end of the list of bounties. "It seems that she'll be able to offer more information."
Bernard grabs a nearby farmer or commoner who appears to be local and asks politely where the castellan can be found.

((How do table tactics discussion tend to happen on PbP? Do they? At a home game we could take like 3 seconds and say ~"If you do this and you do this I can do this and it would be good."))
Tactics Thoughts:
If flanking is happening, Yuno could move to flank with Biri. Biri step away and cast a thing. Then Kosh could move into that spot and attack while flanking.
(OOC: You said one attacked Plunge at one point but then told me to make a strength save, based on the map I believe #1 is attacking me. My AC is 14 from mage armor)
Strength Save: 9
(If it's our turn to act now)
Sanzor will get up from prone and shoot a Fire Bolt at #1. Attack: Attack: 23 Damage: 3
(@all: Whew~ So glad I cast that False Life spell now!)
Shadow Hunters - Outer Fringes
Biri's Strength Save: 20.
Whether forced to kick the beast off to get back to her feet, or simply shakes it while shouting explicative words at the beast that bit her in draconic, Biri takes a deep breathe and exhales shards of glowing force into its eyes. "Know your place, you overgrown pup!" She growls out. Despite all her apparent anger, a mental command goes out for Irib to fly faster, and help in dealing with Monster Wolf Assaulting Sanzor.
Action: Biri Casts (1st level)Magic Missile for 3 x 3 plus 3 for 9 Force Damage.
Tactics Thoughts:
Biri is sadly not that type of Wizard, and may sadly soon be a dead one. :P Because once in melee, she'll stay until reaching level 3.

(Going to roll with advantage assuming Flanking rules are in place. If not, ignore the advantage)
While the party is busy with the sudden attack, they hear a mad cackle. Yuno, who was barely holding her weapon right just moments before, is now gripping her Rapier firmly in her right hand while a short sword, which she had hidden under her long skirt is now gripped in her left. She says, "It's killing time!" as she charges the creature attacking Biri (move to J6). Her soft and delicate voice has been replaced completely by a louder, slightly higher pitched and nasally version of the voice that she had till now. She begins to hack at "2" while laughing madly.
Rapier Attack: 18 (Adv: 16) Dmg: 5 Short Sword Attack: 14 (Adv: 14) Dmg: 6 Sneak Attack Damage due to having Biri within 5ft of target: 6
((Sorry. I've only got the 1 monitor at home so my campaign bible isn't in front of me. Editing the post.
Actually, even my bible doesn't have Sanzor's race. He's not in the campaign doc here on Beyond and I didn't want to make assumptions. I'll note that he's human.))
Sanzor's initiative: 10
(@Virst: You know, I may be slightly disappointed if whatever the creature is isn't Black and Yellow just to complete the reference.)
(@all: For the above, just because Yuno was the one who sensed the creatures. Namely thought of the song from the repeating lyrics part.)
Biri's Initiative: 11.

Black Cat tilting his head to look at Davar, and in Davar's voice silently squawks out, "Empty Nest, inside?"
Then will wait for a response.

Alter gestures for the goliath to go ahead inside, "Let's get a move on. These goblins aren't going to kill themselves. Hopefully."
Latrius will fall in next to the goliath, but silently (hopefully).

Kosh advances to assist Sanzor and swings at the great beast threatening the bookish human. Cleaving deeply into the beast.

(@calledThird) No big deal but Sanzor is human. I believe Plunge is the genasi.
(@laa and Third: Plunge is indeed genasi. I think aside from Biri and Plunge, everyone else is human?)
