Vruuk did as requested with a bit of a grin. "Heheh… Veng has Pocket Lizard." With that, he settles on trying to put the house in order until the group were officially ready to head into town. Once they're on the move and the sun begins to set, Vruuk starts to move sluggishly and even yawns often. But he hadn't started to doze off yet like usual. Yet.

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Veng is walking in carrying 1 sibling discreetly and leading in another in rope. Leaving when ever, aiming to not go through the same gate as before, hitting the temple an hour after dark and just walking up to the front door and going in if not stopped.
Alright, so as Veng follows the path from their home towards town, they have to veer off the road and track for a while through the woods around the city wall before reaching the northern gate (The road form your house connects to the east gate). As you approach you realize that the gates to the town are shut and a pair of guards can be seen talking to one another on the elevated platform behind the wall as a pair of torches cast light on them and the ground in front of the gate.
(if you get any closer they will see you, do you want to approach them and ask them to open the gate? or try to sneak in?)
Veng whispers the situation and asks his siblings if they care, but states that he will announce himself and how he captured the "beast" from this afternoon and ask to be taken to the temple.
(I'll give them a bit to answer. If they want I'll go stealth and Acrobatics until we're close, hoping looking like a resident gets us in)
"Dat OK to me Veng, Not da furst time, Pok'im has been called a beast!"Pokim says to Veng somewhat sadly. He then continues "but hopefuly one day, people not do it any more?"
Veng steps forward and calls to the guards immediately. "Hey! Down here. Its Brunt. I caught the thing causing a rukus this afternoon and need to get him to the Shining Crescent Church."
As you announce yourself the two guards that were talking among themselves, they quickly turn and look towards Veng. "I don't know anyone by the name of Brunt, I don't know every person that lives in this town!" The taller and more slender guard would yell down. The shorter and stockier guard that you think might be a dwarf yells out from the platform "That looks like it's a bugbear you got there... A pretty big one at that... If he was the one causing the ruckus earlier he will be going to the jail.. .not the church" the guard say as he runs his hand through his thick red beard. "The taller guard would look to the dwarf and then back towards the human and bugbear. "No offense but that bugbear looks like it could tear you in half, and the ones I have met can be incredibly fierce if ya make them mad... how did you get that one to cooperate... there is no way your little rope there would be enough to keep him from breaking free and tearing your head off if he wanted to." the man would say, standing his polearm against the wall and drawing a crossbow. He doesn't point it towards you but his eyes quickly move between you both. The dwarf will then do the same, drawing a crossbow the dwarf would yell down. "Hey bugbear! What were yadoing earlier on the roof and why did you let this guy bring ya back? we have streets ya know! Are you a magic bugbear? Why were ya causing problems in the town?" The says before waiting for a response.
I am going to need some deception checks from Veng and Pokim (unless pokim is going to stay silent)
"Normally you'd probably be right, but it was injured escaping...damn near died. I kept it alive. The church is my employer this specific beast has a bounty on it. As an acolyte I can claim it if he is returned ALIVE. One of you escort us to the Church. I'll give you each a gold now for your time and labor and tomorrow morning when I'm paid you can have 10% of my contract...each"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Vruuk will sneak in a ways from the gate with Gin on his back, and await the others on the inside. That is, if she doesn't find her own way, or intend to at least enter at the gate, aiding in the ruse somehow. Either way, the night time gloom would be to his advantage this time.
Vruuk manages to scale one of the wooden walls with a bit of a racket as you easily scale the wall and land on a barrel that collapes under your weight, but from what you can tell no one is around to hear it and you make your way into the city
As Veng is talking the guards, he can tell that at first they are not really buying his story... but at the offer of gold they seem less worried about it. The two guards look to one another and talk for a moment. "So all bounties are supposed to be placed through the watch... we don't really appreciate people going around putting bounties on peoples heads without our being involved... that is how ya end up with assassins and such roaming the streets" The tall guard would say as the dwarf nods in agreement. The dwarf then speaks up, "You can keep yer gold, we aint the kind to be taking bribes. I will come down and if the bugbear appears to be properly secured, I will take ye to the church and we can get this all figured out together."
A moment later the dwarf makes his way down off the platform and the gates slowly opens. Once it is open just enough for him to slip through, he will make his way towards Veng and Pokim. You both notice the gate slide shut behind the dwarf as the man on the wall murmurs something to someone you cannot see on the ground behind the gate (you assume another guard that you cannot see). As the dwarf makes his way towards the both of you he nods and tips his helm towards Veng and Pokim as he looks you both over before reaching into his pack and drawing a pair of manacles. "Excuse me mr. bugbear, I am just going to put these on yer wrists quick fer my protection while we go visit the church and sort this all out alright?" he would say as he quickly attaches the manacles and backs away very quickly.
(assuming pokim doesn't resist) the dwarf would then give a smile to Veng and Pokim before shouting up to the man on the platform "Alright, open up the gates!" before walking about ten feet beside the bugbear as they enter through the gate and make their way towards the church. After they get through the gate they can see a tall strong woman wearing guards clothing push the door shut and lock it with a heavy steel bar.
Veng will very obviously look at the manacles as they start walking. "Yeah, that's better than rope..yours are issued through the guard I'm sure bit do you think a smithy could make a pair? They'd come in handy"
As he walks past the large woman manning the gate Veng nods and just says "thanks" like she had merely held open a shop door.
As he walks Veng attempts to unlock the manacles but leave them sitting in place without the guard noticing.(if this wouldn't be possible guard has hands on lock and I'm being kept away just ignore)
(Cinders could easily use a claw to make a hole in the bag to look out of and poke a finger out of to try to cast spells)
The dwarf looks to Veng and replies "yeah, I imagine the blacksmith could make ya a set. If you are a legitimate bounty hunter the watch may even supply you with some of your own" he stocky dwarf says with a smile while keeping his distance. As you all continue to get closer to the church, the dwarf notices as Veng keeps pulling the rope closer and closer as they walk.. so that there is very little space between himself and the bugbear and as you all round a corner he hears a snap as your lockpick breaks inside the manacles as you fail to unlock the shackles before he spots you. "Hey! what are you doing? You trying to get us all killed?" The guard will yell as he points his pike towards the both of you. "I think we need to go to the watch HQ... the church can wait" he will say with a stern tone, his grip tightening on his weapon.
Vruuk, (and Gin) you manage to hear this as you make your way to the center of the town but are a street away and cannot actually see what is going on.

Alright, let me know what everyone is doing when they do it and I will tell ya all what happens :D

As quietly as possible, so that he is only heard by Veng, Cinders says, "Whatever you think is best. I can't see much from where I am."
Whispering, "one day"
Veng steps forward and calls to the guards immediately. "Hey! Down here. Its Brunt. I caught the thing causing a rukus this afternoon and need to get him to the Shining Crescent Church."

Deception 10 (for what I already said)
"Normally you'd probably be right, but it was injured escaping...damn near died. I kept it alive. The church is my employer this specific beast has a bounty on it. As an acolyte I can claim it if he is returned ALIVE. One of you escort us to the Church.
