“I know we are tired and hungry and dirty, but we need to take all these people somewhere before we all disperse unless you plan on just abandoning them in town. I am going to take them to the watch house. “ Cole will lead the remaining survivors to the watch house.

Grin, wanting a bath very badly but understanding that Cole had a point... would reluctantly agree to follow. "Wait up Cole, I will come with you. Once we have these prisoners of your dropped off, I need a bath or something" The shifter would say once again running his claw like fingers through his thick dirty hair caked with his own blood.
Gotrek turns to the prisoners, "Well you are here in Red Larch, safe and sound, as we promised. I am going to take a bath and clean up." With that he heads inside the bath house, finds the first worker he can spot and with a genuine smile, says, "If you can't tell I am in need of a bath and a good cleaning, these guys to." He points his thumb over his shoulder at any of his companions who may have followed him in.
Before this happens, Gotrek looks longingly at the bathhouse. "I guess Cole is right."He grumbles as he follows the halflings lead.
A somewhat grubby procession 1)Cole, Gotrek, Grin and Thromkor lead a group of grubby humans, gnomes and one dwarf (14 in total) down one of Red Larch's main streets (The Long Road) towards where they remember the Village's Watchhouse such as it is was. All four of them look longingly at the Bathhouse as they pass it. 2)Tibold bringing up the rear of the group looks at the Bathhouse with a wistful look on his face. 3) Eventually the group reaches a cluster of four houses - the first one of which has a painted sign of a ham being carved by a cleaver on it - out the front of which a tallish fair skinned woman with black hair wrapped in a scarf is putting up the shutters as it is late afternoon. She takes one look at the group and yells out "Harbuck, I think you have some visitors?" She then takes a closer look at one of the prisoners and says "aren't you one of Old Minny's nephews? You've certainly got her look about you!" 4)In response to what is obviously his name being called, a human of medium height wearing Studded Leather and a scabbarded Long Sword at his belt comes out of the third house and seeing the group says "now what do we have hear?"
"You know any place we can unload these guys? We saved them and are looking for someone else to babysit them now... Grin will say with a smile as he wipes his hands of the prisoners.
Thromkor takes a step to make himself a kind of barrier between Harbuck and Grin. He smiles. "What my associate means is that our charges have been through a harrowing time and are in need of respite. As their escorts, we also desire some rest and care. Once we have all had our needs taken care of, and we have made sure these individuals are fit, they will most likely find their ways back home."
At the Watchhouse 1) Harbuck yells out to somebody in the fourth house "oy Darvin, can you nick down to the Allfaith's Shrine and ask Imdarr to come up here. I'm sure he will want to speak to these people." He then turns to Thromkor and says "I would appreciate it if you and your colleagues could wait until our current Priest arrives." 2) The prisoner that the tallish fair skinned woman had singled out says "ya I be Gorstag and Winny my granny and Minny be sisters and all." He then continues in a rush saying 'bout three months ago I was taking some chickens down to Womford, we live out on Cairn Road ya know, and out of nowhere some blokes wearing this black stony armour come up to me and says 'we'll take those and you!' and then they 'its me over da head. Next thing I know I wake up in some sort of prison cell and was being made to work in some mines. That was until these people rescued us."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
What does Harbuck hear if anything? 1) Harbuck's Perception roll: 20 - OOC DC 5 was set as I figured that Gotrek was being to quiet about it. 2) Harbuck turns to Gotrek with a grin and says "being a Priest of Tempus and all, Imdarr can be a bit intemperate in his reactions so I wouldn't be too noisy if I were you?"
"So how long till the priest gets here?" Grin would say impatiently, pulling out his dagger and using it to pick some food from lunch out from between his canine-like teeth. "Just wondering...." The shifter would say with a wink.
Thromkor attempts to not let the others' rudeness affect the calm demeanor he is trying to portray. Overhearing Gorstag, the dragonborn asks, "You were working in the mines below the monastery? Slave labor?" He looks around at the other prisoners to see if any of the others seem to agree with the statement, finally looking at Bruldenthar. His calm demeanor has slipped a little, heat rising and reddening his neck and cheeks.
At the Watchhouse - Late Afternoon/Early Evening Day - Day 10 - First Ten-day, Month of Kythorn 1) After about 5 minutes a human of medium height and build wearing a chain shirt and with a Warhammer hanging from a loop in his belt comes striding up. He takes one look at the crowd and turns to Harbuck and says "I was just about to sit down to dinner with Lymurra and one of Old Minny's chickens which she had roasted for us. Both the company and the chicken would have been delightful and instead I find myself here. Perhaps you can explain?" 2) Harbuck replies "yeah well I was just about to have dinner with my constables and one of Jalessa's hams but unlike you the food would have been good - he smiles at Jalessa - who is watching the whole thing with interest but the company not so. I mean if I hear Kirel tell me about his Granny's mad goat one more time I'll scream, when Jalessa gave me a yell. Imagine my surprise when Jalessa yelled that there were 14 strangers - some of which were looking pretty underfed and malnourished - outside. As far as I can work out these five" pointing to the Party members "rescued the others from some sort of complex out in the hills where they were being kept as slaves. One of them" pointing to Gorstag "is one of Old Minny's nephews and used to live out on the Cairn Road before he was captured." 3) Harbuck then turns to Thromkor and pointing out the Dragonborn to Imdarr says "he appears to be the spokesperson. Perhaps he can tell you more!" 4)Imdarr turns to Thromkor and says "my name is Imdarr Relvaunder and I am the current Battle Chaplain for the All Faith's shrine here in Red Larch. Perhaps you could tell me more about this complex where you found these poor benighted souls?"
Thromkor gives a slight bow, his free hand touching the hem of his cloak in a noble gesture. "I apologize for the inconvenience to you both," he says, nodding to both Imdarr and Harbuck. Thromkor gives a slightly long-winded — because he includes too many details — account of their journey from Red Larch into the Sumber Hills to the Featherdale Spire and south through the Sighing Valley to the hidden canyon where the monastery stands. "We were on the trail of the Black Earthers, and we believed they might be inhabiting the monastery, so we entered. Below the monastery in some mines, we found these souls jailed. Long story short, we released them and brought them here," he ends, finally noticing the growing confusion on the two men's faces.

Tibold nods in agreement with the others, eyeing his bloodied sleeves with disdain.
"Clean clothes would be wonderful right now, as well. But bathing comes first," he remarks, following Gotrek to the nearest bathhouse.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Thromkor watches Gotrek and Tibold enter the bath house, then notices their charges milling about. "I'm going to search for some place to eat and rest. A full belly will help my bath feel more satisfying, I think."

"Weary travelers," Thromkor says, limping forward and looking a little doe-eyed. "We need lodging, food, and baths. But not in that order."
"You know any place we can unload these guys? We saved them and are looking for someone else to babysit them now... Grin will say with a smile as he wipes his hands of the prisoners.
Tibold eyes the (clean, I'd expect) studded leather of the apparent Harbuck a little jealously, but makes no comment.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Thromkor takes a step to make himself a kind of barrier between Harbuck and Grin. He smiles. "What my associate means is that our charges have been through a harrowing time and are in need of respite. As their escorts, we also desire some rest and care.

Gotrek just grumbles, "He better be quick then."
What does Harbuck hear if anything?
1) Harbuck's Perception roll: 20 - OOC DC 5 was set as I figured that Gotrek was being to quiet about it.
2) Harbuck turns to Gotrek with a grin and says "being a Priest of Tempus and all, Imdarr can be a bit intemperate in his reactions so I wouldn't be too noisy if I were you?"

Gotrek grins and lifts up one arm and pretends to have a smell. "Come over here and have a whiff. If you survive, you will see why I am in a hurry."
"So how long till the priest gets here?" Grin would say impatiently, pulling out his dagger and using it to pick some food from lunch out from between his canine-like teeth. "Just wondering...." The shifter would say with a wink.
We have been through much but hope this town is safe, waiting a few more minutes is not a problem at all.
