Crispy face turns visibly red. "Yes, we do. I want answers. What do you mean they're the reason?"
"What the Hells is going on here." Crispy said. "Bullshit you don't owe us money, we had a deal, you crotchety old dingle berry."
She pokes the adventurer with the cloak on the chest. "You," She says, getting in her face. "What's your story. Why are you here, and who are these knuckleheads you're travelling with."
Jebb readies himself to yell back only to give an exasperated sigh, "You all don't want to listen do you? I told you and your friends the goblins didn't come through the mine entrance. They made a way into my mine. And all you did was deal with some goblins that they helped fight too. So maybe I shouldn't bother with paying your group, since all you want to do is yell at an old man." Jebb walks into the house nearby, grumbling something in his native tongue
The armored man stares at your group, examining you all. His eyes linger on Aurelia for a while before looking to his cloaked companion as Crispy poked her, "Well, I'm Reia, I want gold like you. Job was to hunt goblins in their den. They escaped and we gave chase. The goblins fled to the mine so we killed them there. And this is my band of adventurers I am with. And who are you to judge, you're traveling with a Kenku and a Triton."
"You owe us money!!" Crispy yells out, then turning back to Reia:"I'd rather travel with a Kenku and a Triton than a motherless whore of a bugbear." Crispy retorted, bristling. "What a coincidence, we all had the same job. How did you hear about this job, anyhow?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bennett casually strolls up next to Crispy and just watches. When should I intervene? Will this escalate into a fight? I'm too tired to cast anything... I'll have to stick to my sword in case manure hits the ceiling.
12Insight to see what kind of people these adventurers are. ((Possibly if they look agitated as well?))
2Perception to see if there is anyone else that may be in their group that we do not see.
((According to these insight rolls, Bennett thinks EVERYONE is perfect and tells the truth always lmao. Also, I got a Nat1 THEN I got a Nat20... wow))
"And you still don't understand, different jobs, same prey. We had to let them go since we were hurt from a trap. Any more questions, and I will fight back." The armored man looks to Aurelia once more, the red orbs focusing on her. The cloaked one holds out a hand and lets magic dance upon it. The hobgoblins reassemble with their group at their back, taking their bows out. The half orcs nearby notice the rising tensions between the group and gather around you all.

You think the cloaked one is a bit curvy and her voice sounds very sultry. And you don't notice any other members of their group, only the four.
(I'm sorry man, apparently your rolls just don't like you.)
Crispy doesnt back down. “You know, im going to give you one last chance to back off, since I could be doing something FAR more dangerous like rearranging my sock drawer than dealing with a putz like you. And how are you gonna cast any spells when I cut your hands off?”
The armored man pulls his sword and you all feel something deep down. Something that terrifies you. As you'd look to the man, his form would shift.
Gasp, you start to see the same man who cuffed you with this ruby. And he is disappointed to see you again. He raises his blade, "Once a thief, always a thief."
Hatt, you see your father. But he looked bloody and beaten, his face a mess of tears and bruises, "You...you just left us! Now look what you did! Your mother and your sister, dead! And who knows how many more...You could've stayed and help me protect them!"
Ashley, you see a soldier. He's bleeding out and is clutching his wound, but he furiously looks to you, "You could have saved me, all you had to do was kill the enemy! This is war, and we don't need pacifists in it to let us die in front of them! I don't give a shit about your ideals, your ideals costed my life."
Aurelia, you see a Triton, a woman paladin like yourself. She reminds you of your mother, as your grandmother would talk of her, "She was a beacon of hope. Ready to defend any who would need her and willing to strike down the evil. She's probably even better than me!" As what your grandmother would say of her, as this Triton pointed her sword at you.
Crispy, you see your father, drunken with bottle still in hand, "You know, always thought you couldn't do anything right. You can't even kill me right! I'm just some beat ass drunk and you couldn't kill me! But I'm sure you remember what I can do."
Bennett, you see your captain, dirtied and grinning, "Do you think you can just walk away from this life? What, did you think you were better than us just because you felt bad? You followed orders too, don't think they don't know that? Now come on, you know what happen to deserters."
(Everyone except Karra makes a Wisdom saving throw, feel free to describe how you respond to it. No one except yourselves can hear them.)
Crispy unbristles and looks at Bennett. ”Im not scared of them. You dont think that whole situation is weird..? Wait..Do you..see that..?”
Then, Crispy saw the vision. The vision of her dead drunk abusive father. No...NO!!
Thats when the shit hit the fan.
Like a wild animal unleashed, she faces the man with the sword, except, it’s not him. It’s her dead father. Speaking to her. Her fight or flight kicking, she pushes Bennett aside and draws her blades, crouching like a rabid animal. She tries to close her eyes and shake it off. It's only an illusion, right?
WIS: 18
No. Cora. Stop. It's just a trick. Your father only haunts you in your dreams, not in reality. But..it was so real. No, it's magic. It has to be.
"YOU!"She screams at the man with the sword. "What kind of sorcery are you trying to pull?? YOU die FIRST!!" She flips the swords around in her hands, ready to strike.
Bennett sees this and his jaw drops and he tilts his head. A red-hot anger wells up inside of him. This... mother... ****er. HE ordered me to kill the family! HE is the reason there is child's blood on my hands!

Crispy doesnt back down. “You know, im going to give you one last chance to back off, since I could be doing something FAR more dangerous like rearranging my sock drawer than dealing with a putz like you. And how are you gonna cast any spells when I cut your hands off?”
Gasp approaches the confrontation and gently places a hand on Crispy’s shoulder. He mimics Reia again “Let them go....we were hurt”
Without taking her eyes off the woman, she feels Gasps “hand” on her shoulder.
“Today’s your lucky day.” Crispy growls, ”This kenku just saved your ass.”
She backs down.
He can’t help but give a small sigh of relief. Gasp removes his hand from Crispy and looks to Reia and the others. He just gives a nod.
Bennett tries to catch the cloaked ones eyes and if he does, he winks and bows his head slightly. What a stunner. Her voice is so... sexy.
He then looks to Crispy, "Are we done here, tiger?"

Crispy stares at the other group until they leave.
“Yeah im done. Unfortunately. But I dont trust those guys. Finish your damn rest and let’s go.”
She takes her hand off her blade holster and huffs at the other group before turning and joining her group again.
Bennett chuckles, turns around and walks beside Crispy, "We can leave now. I doubt we will be attacked on the way to our next destination."
