Did Eskee get the 7gold Bongos? We can drink and listen to music til Asshrak finds us at the Inn. Alcohol and bongos, what could possibly go wrong. Lol
"No way I could part with these bongos for less than eight gold," the little man says to Eskee. "They were made in Sudlia and brought here in a shipment from Lonberla by way of Freeport. We don't have many drum makers here in Fantasvy."
Meanwhile, Stun and Basal notice Maverick heading back to the Campfire Tavern and follow him. Along the way they notice three buildings larger than the rest in the Market District: a windmill near the stables, an inn that looks to be at least twice the size of Bruce's establishment, and what appears to be a large manor house. Maverick also notices several children playing some sort of game involving small glass beads. They huddle together near the small well in the courtyard adjacent to Bruce's place.
Asshrak, I need to know if you are leaving the horse/mule at the stables or taking it to the tavern.
Eskee inspects the bongo, looks back to the small man, and says, “eight gold huh? Fair enough. Thank you kind sssir.” He gives the shop keeper eight gold, collects the bongo, and meets up with the rest of the group.
Okay. I said we would wait for Arhjan/Asshrak, but you seem to want to play; so, let's play this out as written.
As Asshrak begins to walk away from the stables, a shout is heard. "Stop! Thief! Guards! Guards!" A portly, balding man with a tanned complexion, wearing riding boots over brown trousers and a white blouse comes rushing out of the stable house. "Stop! Thief!" he shouts again, waving a riding crop in the air as he approaches at a brisk walk, seeming slightly winded by the effort.
Several men in half plate mail and carrying small clubs approach from the nearby South Gate. "You there!" one of them shouts, pointing at Asshrak with his nightstick. "In the name of Prince Filip, stop at once!"
Maverick stops mid sentence and turns to look and walks towards the commotion. Making sure not to get to close but close enough to see what is unfolding
Stun hearing the commutation, he points it out Basal stating "Look! there are a group of guards approaching Asshrak! Lets find the others to help out!" Stun looks at Basal with begging sad puppy eyes..
Basal looks back, he adjusts his purple cloak covering his mouth. He doesn’t know what Asshrak had done to provoke the guard’s aggression. Then he noticed the mule he was taking
”Handle…situation now…or later in the…prison?”
Basal asked thinking that he could just pay for the mule and be on their way, but didn’t know what Stun wanted to do
Although Stun's feelings are motavating him to help Asshark out of this situation now, Basal's question, ”Handle…situation now…or later in the…prison?”, he starts to control his breathing breathing to focus on the situation. Basal then tells Stun, "I will…follow you…Stun…”. This grants Stun patients as the Decision now lays on him.
He thinks aloud to Basal, but quietly. "if we confront the the guards as a group, or even if its just me and you, they will most likely see it as an act of aggression and attack us on sight. Then even if we over power them, more guards will come and a whole lot of things we need access to in this city will be blocked from us. Besides, me and you are not the most trustworthy looking people at the moment." Stun points out his tattered cloths covered in blood and Basal's roguish figure. "If he is in prison, we can atl east know he is in a position where he has a chance at surviving. 5 vs 1, or in reality the whole forces of the city against him is not ideal."
"Either way, we'll need the rest of the group if we want to get him out of this. more heads are better than one."
He speaks to Basal directly, "What do you know about the law in this city?"
Maverick keeps moving around and talk to one of many ”friends” who if needed will help Maverick due to his folk hero lifestyle and being chaotic good. Finally he makes his way to Basil and Stun. With a unique seriousness they have not heard from Maverick before he says “listen the both of you, you were involved they just managed to see Asshrak. I need you both to listen. Do not get involved, stay here. I know we just met but as far as now, we are allies, we’re on the same team. We have to treat eachother like family wether we want to admit it or not. And as this moment I need you to trust me and not get involved until I say so. And when and if I do I will need you to take Asshrak to that man (and point at a man wearing a hood. ) he will get Asshrak away long enough for the heat to die down……..if everything goes smooth none of this will be necessary.” Maverick takes a few steps away and watches and listens to what’s unfolding.
"Noble Raimun," one of the guards wearing a small white cape with blue trim calls to the portly man in the riding gear, "what is going on, sir? Explain yourself."
"I was just preparing to go for a ride on my horse Mathilda here when I saw this man leaving with her," the portly man says.
"And you, sir?" he asks Asshrak. "What do you say? Why were you taking the noble's horse?"
When Maverick gave his command, Stun nods at both him and Basal confirming the plan of action. He waits, concentrating his breathing, preparing for whatever comes next. He stands next to Basal, as Maverick instructed. Stun feels an odd warmth during all this tension, having not had a sense of comradery in a while.
Basal seems intent on listening to his plan. His hands placed down on his twin blades, his silver armor dimmed in the torchlight of the stables. Once he was finished talking, there was a few seconds of silence before the Dark Elf responded
”I…do not know…the law…I arrived…yesterday….”
That was when Maverick came in, Basal turned to him. His red eyes narrowed as the sunlight came into the old stable. Basal didn’t seem to like it when he mentioned that they were involved in the theft of the mule. But his ears twitched when he mentioned being a family. This provoked a reaction out of Basal
”l…will listen…but aren’t….you a bit…too hasty to say…we are close…we just met…?”
Basal looks over to Stun, he has noticed his anxiety and stress. So his hand goes up to touch his shoulder, but right before it grasped it. He retracted it, placing it back on the hilt of his blade and looking away, a little embarrassed
While concentrating on his breathing, Stun noticed from his peripherals that Basal made an jerking movement. Stun turn his vision slightly towards Basal, noticing he just looked away. He smirk, noticing he might not be the only one nervous about what happens next.
"So...we just...wait here?" says Basal.
"Yes, and be observant of what is happening as the situation unfolds." Stun returns to his breathing to concentrate on what occurring with the guards and Asshark.
"If it helps, it puts my mind at ease knowing you're right next to me.", he tells Basal while focusing on his breathing, watching the current situation unfold.

Bruce-
On the way to the Inn does Maverick see any games or fun stuff to do with the locals?
Okay.
"No way I could part with these bongos for less than eight gold," the little man says to Eskee. "They were made in Sudlia and brought here in a shipment from Lonberla by way of Freeport. We don't have many drum makers here in Fantasvy."

I’ll take it.
Like being a player, love dming.
I AM YOUR DM! BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GODS! XD
Maverick goes and mingles with the crowed and wonders over to see what game the children are playing
he asks a local man “what are they playing?”
Okay. I said we would wait for Arhjan/Asshrak, but you seem to want to play; so, let's play this out as written.

Maverick stops mid sentence and turns to look and walks towards the commotion. Making sure not to get to close but close enough to see what is unfolding
-Hey Bruce, is this part of the actual story or we doing this for fun until Arhjan/Asshrak gets back?
OOC: This is part of the prelude, and considering Asshrak was the one to take the horse/mule . . . .
Maverick walks closer to Asshrak to be able to hear and see first hand what is going on but not getting to close as to stand out.
- Okay.
