Randaler rejoins the group with his new armor in his possession. "Uh... hello" he mumbles to Koko and blushes. "So, what's the play? Take on the Redbrands now, or get some rest first? If we are getting rest, we should set a watch in case of retaliation." He looks at the townsfolk and and his group of new friends wondering how this will work out in the end.

Realgâr says to Randaler, "Well, it appears that we again have no choice since others have split up." He takes a sigh and says, "Back to the Inn."

"Perhaps my retainers have arrived, at least."

Reluctantly, he goes back to the Inn.

 (By the looks of things, the group is returning to the Stonehill Inn for the time being)

Stonehill Inn

The group enters to a small round of applause from the patrons. The patrons are the same as before (on this post), but apparently the word has travelled fast. The one person who isn't joining in on the applause is the barkeep, Tolben. He seems to have a slight look of concern on his face as the party wander in.

Realgâr pays no mind to the applause, "Hold your applause. The Redbrands are not gone yet. We still have yet to go to their headquarters and probably only angered them further by attackin' their thugs and not finishin' the job right then. Essentially, we stirred up a hornet nest."

He turns to Tolben, "That is what you are upset over, is it not? Can't say I blame you."

Stonehill Inn

Tolben nods. "You got rid of some of them, but it'll just draw attention to yourselves." He says. He begins to fill a tankard from the barrel behind the bar. "You can still stay, of course, but if you're going to cause trouble for my kid and wife, you'll have me to deal with, too." He places the drinks down on the bar. "Now, have a drink on the house, and make sure not to cause too much of a ruckus."

Chad

I take a bow as I enter to the applause. Doves! I walk toward the bar and slap a hand down eyeing the barkeep. "You must relax dear Tolben. We're going to take care of the issue of the Red Brands." I grab my drink from the bar and cast prestidigitation to chill my ale. "And I'm not sure if you saw what I was capable of ouside with the Red Brands, but my suggestion is you do not cross us." I give Tolben a wink. 

Persuasion: 6 

Kres looks to Chad. "You know, I think chad would like to take the next fight by himself, he seems to have forgotten about his team mates that fight closer to the opponents rather than sixty feet behind us." 

Chad

"Oh, you need to relax my bird friend and get yourself a drink." I give a wink to Kres. "And as far as my tactics go, they work. You also must have forgotten how I took out the leader single handedly while face to face with him." I give Kres a slap on the back. I turn to the crowd in the bar. "Now lets hear it again for the biggest heroes in the city!" This time, little birds looking like Kres fly out from behind me. Chad scans the crowd for any interested ladies. 

Randaler looks at Realgar and shrugs, “I guess we’re going back to the inn…”

He follows the group back to the Inn, and looks awkward when the townsfolk applaud for them.  He slips over to the bar and puts down some of the coins he acquired from the ruffians. “I’ll take one of your room, if you still have any available.” He says to Tolben.

He then looks around the room and spies Freda. Sitting back down next to her, he says “I… I guess we started helping with the Redbrands already.” He blushes again looking at Freda.

Stonehill Inn

The others in the tavern raise their tankards to Chad's "leadership skills" as he is riding high on his small-town reputation for the time being. Randaller sees Freda wave back to him as his cheeks go rosy.

"Well there's just enough rooms for one each." Tolben says in response to the query. "As mentioned, it's five silver a night, and an extra three if you want feeding."

Realgâr, quite frustrated at not taking care of the Redbrands when they were caught off guard and the group simply walking away, sits at the bar and pays no mind to the foolish patrons clapping.

He refuses the drink offered by Tolbien, as he is in no mood for it. A rare thing for a dwarf. He then sees Kres's frustration.

He says to Chad, "Chad, reign yourself in a bit lad. Kres managed to beat up on the leader quite a bit, so *singlehandedly* defeatin' him is simply not true, and a bit insultin' to the rest of us who were fightin' off the others. We fight and emerge victorious as a group."

Realgâr sits at the far end of the bar, away from all the antics going on and speaks to Tolbien 

"Nothin' against you, Tolbien, by me declinin' your drink. The gesture is appreciated, however I cannot accept a free one when our group left the job unfinished. It would leave a sour taste in my mouth. I fear we have only worsened the town's situation here, and these fools are clappin' for it. Talk some sense into them will you? I would go alone to try and stop the Redbrands at this point, but I would certainly be killed. Anyway, I do offer our apologies. I *hope* we will make it right, and as soon as possible."

Stonehill Inn

Tolben pushes the tankard in front of Realgâr, "Take it, it's already been poured." He says. "With all the ruckus those ruffians have been causing, the small victories need to be celebrated too. Let 'em have their moment of glory for now, it'll settle down soon."

Realgâr reluctantly accepts, "Only because you insist, sir. However, there is no glory in letting the lawless continue to harass the lawful. By the way, have you had any other dwarves come in while I was gone? I am expecting my three retainers to arrive shortly, if they haven't already. They would have asked for me, knowing a tavern would be the best place to find a dwarf.

He also looks to see if Sildar has returned.

Sildar hasn't returned yet. "Three dwarves?" Tolben says. "Aye, they were here, asking for someone of your description actually. Told them you headed off to the Lionshead Coster since you went that way. They're probably still there."

"Aye, thank you Tolbien. Keep an eye on this lot for me, if you'd be so kind." He finishes his drink and goes to Lionshield Coster. If no one else wants to along he goes alone.

Kres will stretch and leave the tavern, flying to the top of it and sitting on the roof. Watching the people walk by. 

Chad

I retire to my room for the evening with a lady interested in my war stories, assuming its late enough in the evening for it to make sense. 

Ooc: what time is it?

Koko ignores the applause and goes to the bar and asks Tolbien how his son is. She also isnt much of a drinker when theres work to be done. She hopes that in the morning we will be on our way to take out the Rebrands and put an end to the affliction. She says out loud "Chad  works quick with the ladies"

While chatting with Freda, Randaler notices Realgar leaving the inn, and quickly excuses himself, "A h-hero's job is never d-done." he says to her, blushing again and follows Realgar out the door.

"After that little skirmish, I don't think any of us should be out by ourselves in town until the Redbrands are taken care of." he says to the dwarf as he quickly catches up with him. "Where you off to?"

As they walk along, Randaler, is taking note of all the passersby, and looking ahead for any signs of danger, or people lurking in the shadows.

Realgâr, who is surprised anyone followed him, says to Randaler, "Ah, a pleasant surprise my friend. It may not be exactly safe, but I need to make this errand. I heard my retainers are off at the Lionshield Coster so I'm just headed that way before it gets too late. I can't have them potentially runnin' into danger. I only hope tomorrow we finish off these Redbrands before they make things worse for the town. My thanks to you for thinkin' of the well-bein' of a dwarf."

He reaches into his beard, through the coins weaved into it, and gives Randaler a small polished dolomite stone trinket of Moradin's symbol. "Here, take this. Show it to any dwarf and they will know you are considered a dwarf-friend."

OOC: The trinket has no monetary value and is only for RP

He continues making his way to the Lionshield Coster to meet with his retainers.
