This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The shifter, Hound, snarls and begins to shift into her bestial form, before she can complete the change a crossbow bolt sprouts, almost magically, from her throat. Her eyes widen and she gurgles as she is flung backwards. Rollo lowering his crossbow.
Coal snaps to wakefulness. She starts to struggle thinking your her assailants but after a second she sees the bodies and calms down. Thanks I thought my cogs were smashed for a second there
That was a Daask hit squad. I recognise the shifter from the ruins. I’d really appreciate that escort to Sergeant Vilroy now if you’re willing to take me?
Coal gulps and nods nervously. You help her to her feet and escort her to Sergeant Vilroys offices in the Middle Dura. It takes 45 minutes but no one bothers you or makes any further attempts on Coals life. You enter the Sharn Watch Dura precinct building and are shown to Vilroys office. She grins around her pipe. You made it! Excellent! Come on in Coal have a seat. As for you fine personages here is your is the promised payment for bringing Coal to me. If you could wait in the canteen while I debrief Coal there is more work and more money if you’re interested?
About an hour later you have all eaten and quenched your thirst, when Sgt Vilroy appears. Thank you all for waiting, Coal isn't able to give the exact location of this work camp where the boy is being held, but I reckon if you make some inquiries with this Alden d'Orien you may turn something up. If you can find the boy, return him, and capture the ring leader of this operation there is another 75 gold each in it for you. Alden d’Orien has a residence called Unicorn Estate in the Mithral Tower district of Upper Central Plateau, but he is a well connected noble, could I suggest discretion on how you handle him?
Aye you could if you wanted to spend three months guarding a caravan out to the Lhazar Principalities, but this is for half a days work, 150 Gold in a day is nobles money.

The sudden temperature change from the breath of fire to the ice knife is too much for the last kobold and they expire foaming at the mouth convulsing
Rollo draws his crossbow and fires a bolt at the shifter

Lady Coal! Can you head my voice? I have checked for danger before administering aid. You are being saved, do not resist.

Rollo, standing back and already another spliff on the go asks Coal
who were they and what did they want with you?

We’ll take you. But be honest with us from now on. Otherwise next time you may not be so fortunate
Rollos eyes glow slightly as he speaks

Rollo looks around the group.
im up for some more cash
Draskan snorts as he makes his way to the canteen
Excellent, more honest gold for honest work. I welcome this.
Let us recount stories of our trials and tribulations and get to know one another while you four replenish your bodies.
Food! Eoni exclaims excitedly and makes a beeline for the canteen.

Draskan snorts This sounds like more than 75gp worth, I can earn more for less.

Leowin turns to vilroy, wearing his broad, unassuming smile.
Sounds good to me. I like gold. I imagine we'll get half in advance, though?
