When the group comes back around the corner you see the half Orc get the attention of the others as they walk to meet you. As you get within normal talking distance you see the half Orc shift slightly and place his hands on his belt. “Well well we’ll, todays heroes of Rorikstad. We are with the Colderi Dominion.... we were tasked to patrolling this area and looking over that the mining operation doesn’t have too many ..... hiccups. The Council well not be too pleased to hear that the operation is shut down temporarily, but they have you to thank that it’s just temporary. My name is Gustuve, this is Ahna pointing to an earth genasi, and this is Finwe as he points to a Drow. “And who might you all be?” He grins and tightens the grip on his belt. Puffing up his shoulders.
Lady follows along and smiles politely until asked her name. With an exaggerated flourish she goes into curtsy before saying, "My name is Rosalin Piper and that would be Lady Piper to you gents. I'm an aspiring musician and writer... "
Continuing off of Piper’s introduction, Drys steps next to her and bows in a much simpler manner than his companion saying,
”You can call me Fletcher, Gustuve was it? Nice to meet you. And Ahna and Finwe as well of course. Killing the beast wasn’t as amazing as you make it out to be. It was difficult, but the thing was blinded after all. (Gesturing to Driver) And this is...”
"Vallin is my name, it is a pleasure to meet all of you." He looks toward Lady says kindly. "A writer you say? This should be some great inspiration for a story!"
Gustuve surveys each of you while you make your introductions, stoic and keeping a stern poker face. “Vallin, Lady... Piper, Fletcher, and uh, Horse is it?” His grip tightens on his belt as he clears his throat. “Like I was saying before, we could really use your help looking for the Crimson Pride. They were spotted near here not too long ago. With us working together it shouldn’t be a problem to suss them out. How long ago was it you all met each other now?”
Vallin speaks up. He is a bit winded from the fight and from lifting rocks he has crouched down to sit on his heels and then falls back clumsily on his rear. With elbows on knees he says tieredly, "Just like I said before we were just meeting for the first time here at the tavern. We had just sat down when the shaking started." He looks at the others and jokes lightly, "I dont even think we had been served our drinks or food yet! Did we? I'm so worn out I can't remember."
He shakes his head slightly and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Sorry...headache, I think my adrenaline from the fight just wore off."
Gustuve nods then looks to Drys and Lady “Is that what you told them? You said you haven’t met before either?” His eyes narrow and raises his chin while expecting a response.
Lady steps on his foot and interrupts. "Yes that is right, we had just met at the Tavern for the first time. I mean we have never been to Rorikstead, so i guess it was the first time we met here. We were just meeting to discuss arrangements for lodging and to play some music. Or did you mean the first time we introduced ourselfs?"
She moved forward and touched his arm and smiled. "If that was your intent then really, you must be clearer. We had been old friends but lost touch for so long that when we got together it was practically like meeting each other for the first time."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gustuve smiles once again and shifts his weight after Piper tries to cut off the story and edit on the fly. Crossing his arms he begins to walk back and forth a little bit. The other two behind him take two steps back and two steps out to give him room. “You know these Crimson Pride shits have quite the reputation, stories and nightmares follow them wherever they go. They even say they can change their appearance with magic..... you never know where the could be.” In his stride he puts his hands on his belt and puff up his chest. Adding more bass to his voice he continues “One story of theirs.... or nightmare you could call it. They had a job to find a witness in a trial, the organization wanted the particular fellow dead so he wouldn’t testify..... so they sent the Crimson Pride after him. Solitude agreed to hide the poor soul in the basement of their clinic.... hospital attached to the castle. The city guards had every entrance covered, so what did those bastards do? They sealed off the door and lit it ablaze. They got their man, but ended up killing 7 more innocent people in the process. But what’s that to them right? They got their job done. I was in Solitude that night, Manning the walls as the Dominion was lending aid at that time. We went running as soon as we saw the flames.” Gustuve pulls down his shirt slightly to reveal a scar on his collar bone. “That’s when I ran into you two, leaving me with this.” He draws his sword
Can I get a little description of how they are placed. Last I read we are talking distance and the Ladybhad touched his arm so I know they are close but where are the other men in relation?
Lady lets her hand to her chest and her mouth opens slightly in surprise. "You. Are threatening a lady?" She straightens her stance, arms at her side and says, "Fus Ro Dah"
Casting unrelenting force... I mean psychic blast
Those in the 30 foot co e take 27 force damage, are pushed 20 feet back and fall prone dex 15 saving throw and they avoid being pushed and falling prone.
Looking a bit alarmed at the power behind that particular spell. Drys quickly goes near Piper and says,
“Let’s not kill these people in front of the entire town, okay? These are not great odds for four people who just barely killed an earth dragon,”
before he pulls one sword out, goes to the leader, and prepares to retaliate if attacked.
“I don’t know who you are, and I have no idea what you are talking about! If you would just listen to me, we won’t have to hurt you any more than we have! We don’t want to kill you.” (Trying to send a message to the group and the town)
Silas feels the tension in the air and feels his stomach starts to churn at the thought that they killed innocent people just to get to one man. A hospital of all places. What kind of person does that... a bad one obviously. He's a Paladin after all, shouldn't he be doing good?
He reaches the hand with no ring up to hold onto his holy symbol. He will say a silent prayer "We need your help."
And will cast chanel divinity: watchers will (drys, lady and driver have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws 1 min)

Driver grabs a rapier from Lady’s belt. He then charges the half orc and attempts to knock him down grab his ankle, and lift it to keep him from getting up. He then charges the rapier with some of the alchemical lightning flowing through his veins 1
(Shove and grapple. If the first fails, he’ll attempt to shove again, so it’s still two athletics checks)

inspiration on that first roll... I don’t remember if that’s advantage or a d6, so I’ll roll both.
Driver is moving a little slower, not anxious to meet the soldiers. But he follows “Fletcher” as well as he can.

“Ah. Horse. My name is Horse.” Driver tries thinking fast on his feet and ends up awkward.

“I mean, we’d met. Just not very long ago.” Driver hedges.

Rolling Initiative!:
You guys: 86 /4

You guys go first. Group initiative.
