SoH: 8

Dornikal nods approvingly at Hank,

"Good choice, we don't want a fight here."

Ulmwin, seeing that Danger is too far away from the actual Danger right now... Eventually makes a rapid turn, whizzing directly at the person hiding in the trees. Trying to do an upward approach before calling out, hopefully before whatever figure decides to start shooting, though he's certainly bracing for it. 

Current action: dodging (unless you'd say I should sprint to get as close as possible in one round. Can you do that with a mount..?)

"Hello there! Could I ask you nicely to put down your weapons and come with? The sooner you do, the sooner I can convince my friend down there to not act rash!" the gnome sounds, far too jovial given the situation.

No movement, nor reply answers Ulmwin's call.

Randy turns his attention back to Garvey now. "Well, since you've been such a bundle of cooperation, we're going to handle you a little differently.  I want you lie face down on the ground with your hands extended as far above your head as you can reach."  

"Seriously? Forking colander-hole ladle-chugger.", Garvey mutters, but complies.

Ulmwin will move to approach the man directly, where he should be...

Ulmwin urges the fly forward, to where Danger noted them descending the tree, but he sees no one. Perhaps they are sneaking around to another location... or gave up their associates as lost and have departed?

Randy sighs a little. "What we have here, is a failure to communicate. Rather than accept the inevitable, you keep arguing.  So you've done a very good job of convincing me that you're going to be trouble, no matter what." 

Dornikal has Hank sit down and will say quietly to the pair by him,

"Probably best Randy found ye. Aye get a bit... focused and would have probably hurt ye. Who knows what the gnomes would have done."

"I'm doing what you forkin' asked, aren't I?", Garvey protests from his prone position, face down on the ground. "Whatcha gonna do, put an arrow through a man lying on the ground, sucking dust? Huh? You a murderer, mister? Make a habit of hurting folks? Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess I'm pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case."

Bimmfur looks up at Dornikal, then over to the gleaming Coljin covered in his liquid metal armor. "Please sir dwarf, don't give me to the gnomes!"

Dornikal gives a shake of his head,

"Call meh Dornikal. Ye should be fine, just keep up your listening."

He reassures.

Ulmwin, clearly the most vicious and not the "good cop" in this situation, seems a bit surprised to see the person in question disappeared... But it is not unlikely that they have moved, and if they have, surely can't have moved far, and so he begins the search from the point that he should have gotten- First trying to find any sign of where they might have gone, before trying to use the advantage of flight to continue investigation.

"It really is best if you just come out! I'm not gonna hurt you, nor will any of my friends, if given the chance!"

Ulmwin calls out, and he sees a flash of movement, a face turning to look up at him, and as the figure realizes they've been spotted, arms swing up to bring a longbow to bear on the gnome.

((Initiative for Ulmwin to see if he can react before the archer.))

Randy sighs again, switches over to his rapier, walks over to Garvey and "Accidently" steps on his hand while lightly touching his cheek with the rapier tip.  

"Garvey, Hank gave you some good advice. Shut. The. Fork. Up.  Because if you don't I might have to carve your tongue out."   Done talking, Randy proceeds to start trussing Garvey up by sitting on his back and pulling his arms behind him to tie in that position.

Garvey gives a few "Oww"s and "oooof"s, but his bellyaching seems to be curbed.

Ulmwin shakes his head, getting close, as he speaks once again. Though this time, there's a bit more "oomph" behind his word. A compelling nature to it beyond that of mere persuasion.

(Casting suggestion.)

"Son, please, put down your weapon, and kindly climb down to go join the group down below, cooperate with my friends? I'd rather not have to knock you out of the tree!"
