Durmatl opens both eyes at the bear-man's strange outburst, speaking almost as if with two voices at once. "Interesting..."he thinks to himself, but his expression turns to one of disgust as Scar finishes."I don't know what your deal is, but you can have the blood of the innocent, that's worthless to me. However you're going to get it is beyond me, though, with your issue of not killing innocents. You're not intending for us to do your dirty w-" he trails off, seeing the mood change."Heh."
Caz - Seeing the disagreement between Scar and Durmatl says, "There will be plenty of blood for everyone, so there is no reason to fight over it." Looking at both of them for confirmation that the argument is over. He then says, "Once the plan is in place I will not care what you do or how you do it, though I will need a week to fully set everything up for Danyver and myself. So, for that first week if you can reserve yourself to the outskirts of the other towns including Tarrin because rest assured the townsfolk will need a good scaring in the beginning to...set the mood. Then you can have all of the fun and blood that you want."
Silently observing each one of them, it became clear as far as this conversation goes, everyone is for themselves. “You lot are bloody strange. And no Caz, I’m fine just tagging along. Favors are nice though, maybe later. I’m not so eager to shake hands just yet. As our new friend here said, mutual protection is what I require. I can help you in my own ways then.”, he was still eyeing the movement of Scar and Durmatl, settling his gaze once more and Caz, and raising back to clouds once more.
Kaw was worried at Danyver's words. Why would the group already be looking to kill each other? This had no purpose. Kaw had to do something.
Walking into the center of the group, holding his hands up either side placatingly, [speaking in a shrill, noble woman's voice] "Stop it! Stop it! This is senseless! You fiends!"
Kaw was sure he had aptly communicated his message to the rest of the group.
Scars pointy hears perk up upon hearing the little kenkus words, he was proud of his littke bird. Scar recomposes himself and shakes his head and looks back at the group.
- Kaw is right... We should not be fighting over silly things like these, we are better than this. Despite our evil natures i believe we can work together just fine, and if... well... THAT ever happens again to me, punch me as hard as you can... please. Well... Since we all already stated our goals and intentions, as well as showed a bit of who we are, well... some of us did, i think it's better we just take a few more minutes to relax(short rest maybe?) and then we can get moving.
Scar quietly gets himself confortable and starts mumbling some more poetry, ya'll can hear it too.
MORE POETRY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The lady of the fields,
She would shine so bright,
but what she had in beauty,
she would lack in sight.
And so in a flash,
she failled to notice the beast,
the beast tore her to pieces,
and later it had a feast.
Whatever you think of the end,
that is up to you,
is the beast the villain,
or was it something good too?
We are quick to judge,
but misjudging is often dangerous,
the beast had its litter to feed,
its nature wasnt fiendish nor traitorous.
The woman however,
She had a dirty secret,
she would shine in the morning,
but in the night she would turn into a fiendish creature.
She killed countless innocents,
they all screamed with pain,
she tore them all to pieces,
all they tried was in vain.
Now that you know the story,
its up for you to decide,
who was the real villain?
now choose your side.

Caz - After everything has died down with the others replies to Severiss saying, "Suit yourself. Although, you had mentioned something about the political landscape...what do you mean by that?", Looking towards Gurok he says, "And Gurok! Did I hear correctly that you are a member of a mercenary group?"
Gurok: Glad that he might be of help, Gurok nods his head enthusiastically and says, "Yes! Gurok join The Blackfist Mercenaries when boy, to become strong! They are sellswords and have camps all over. Might be one near."

Gurok: Absently scratching his head, the Bugbears ears twitch as he replies, "Blackfist are Mercenaries. They not fight without gold, but they might help with gear."

You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized.")

OOC: Interesting tidbit for your background have you determined what rank Gurok was with the mercenaries or is that up in the air? I only ask because it may be affect my response.
(OOC: Up to the DM what his rank would be. At least a Captain I'd imagine, because of his size and brute strength. He's not smart enough for much higher rank than that. I am picturing the Blackfist as a Mercanary band of many different intelligent monsters, led by Hobgoblins.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gurok: Happy to finally be free of the prison, the Bugbear's mind now turns to more important things - food! Gurok slowly walks to the nearest tree, reaches up, and breaks off a large branch. Next, he uses the shiv to cut away stray twigs before sharpening the tip, fashioning himself a spear. He says with a grunt, "Gurok hunt then sleep. Stars tell us where we are."
Survival: 18
The Barbarian returns a short time later, empty-handed. With a frown he begins collecting firewood instead.

Scar sees Gurok empty handed and with a smile says
- Hey don't be sad Gurok, it happens to the best. Let me give it a try, maybe i can fetch us a rabbit, it takes a beast to know another after all. Pass me the spear and i'll give it my best.
Watching both parties return from the hunt with little to show for it, Durmatl shrugs and moves to each member of the group in turn, handing out a ration for each. "Here, eat this," he says, "They are my last, but we can stock up soon. I am better fed than all of you, I assume. I have yet to hear someone praise prison food, and I have fed well these last days. Also, let me join the hunt tomorrow, I was raised to it."
Watching the group eat, he curls up onto the sun-warmed rock again, waiting for night to fall and the stars to appear. A plan was beginning to form, and he would be glad once the group finally got underway.
OOC:
Group: I've got +6 to Survival, I'll try to make sure to keep the group fed if we can't stock up on rations. Did anyone want my spare spear or not?
Severiss gladly accepts the ration with a smile, nibbling at it as he continues to observe the general behaviour of his companions. He helps to get some branches for the fire, but as he snaps first couple of them off, he turns towards the others, “Perhaps we should not light a fire today, we are not that far away from the prison and the city after all.”. As night crept closer, he moves towards Durmatl and sleeps near him, making sure not to sink in to his dream too deeply.
Scar devours the ration and gives a gentle nod to Durmatl. He then hears what Serviss says and awnsers:
- Well a fire might not be necessary if we can keep ourselfs warm enough, but you guys decide what to do. Kaw wanna come and sleep with me? I can keep at least 2 small people warm, you are all invited to join me in my sleep, i'm quite a big, fluffy and warm fella. Also someone should keep watch, i ain't taking the 1 watch, but i'll gladly take the 2 or 3 if nobody steps foward.
Scar slowly and lazily makes his way near a tree, lays his back on it and prepares for another sleepless night, filled with nightmares of past battles and the terrifying thoughts of those yet to come.
ps: Scar does not snore, hes pretty quiet usually, tho he moves a bit.
