(Back with Trilena and Tolben)

"Now that's true enough, my companions and I met a few goblins on the way here, so it's possible. I might see about taking a closer look myself though, something about this doesn't sit right with me..." Finnian double-checks to make sure that he's paid for his room tonight, then waits around for a time until his companions all return.

(Back to the present(?))

He mostly lets the others speak their piece, but when the consensus begins to turn towards goblins he pipes up. "I agree, the goblins are probably a good way to go for us, though I think there might be a little more going on around here. It's nothing more than a hunch at the moment, and it could just be coincidence, but I have a feeling there's more to these Redbrands than meets the eye. When we get a chance and aren't goblin hunting, I'd like to poke around town a little more. Right, Misty! Did you ever get around to finding Thorsten's Shop and Exchange?" He keeps his voice low to try and prevent eavesdropping, "I think they might be involved somehow..."

“Honestly sir, I want to help people. If the guild is he best way to do that then joining the guild is what I’ll do. You have the respect of the city’s protectors and that holds a lot of weight for me. I hope that one day I can gain a degree of respect from you.” 

Hati nods and lets out an sigh. Reaching for his coin purse he pats his waist and recalls that he gave all his money to the kenku earlier.

"...…" Hati facepalms slightly and looks to the party, "May I share a room with one of you tonight? If not I can just sleep on the roof"

Finnian, Rilvar, Edmond, Korhil, Haiti, Misty, and Gimble section:

(OOC: if you buy a room at the inn make sure to take off the appropriate gold.)

(OOC: it is still the present, you can be chatting with the Stonehills and interacting with the party, as for checking to make sure you paid, as long as you took off a gold at some point from your inventory you should be fine.)

Toblen Stonehill: (to Finnian) "If these problems continue i'm sure the crown, that adventurer's guild, or some hero will deal with them. Plenty of money and rewards for taking care of things thats a problem for everyone."

(OOC: Finnian, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Rilvar, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Edmond, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Korhil, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

Korhil motions for Elsa the barmaid to come over to the party's table. Elsa the barmaid: (to the party) "What can i get for you all?" (OOC: common ale will come with your room if you bought one. if you want a "basic" stiff drink it will be five silver pieces, if you want a good stiff drink that's a single gold piece.)

(OOC: Haiti, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Misty, is chatting with members of the party, read her post.)

Once the conversation slows or stops Misty will head back to her room for the night.

(OOC: Gimble, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

Gimble heads back to his room for the night.

(OOC: if everyone is ready i will advance the story to the next day.)

Conrick section: 

(OOC: i don't know if you failed to see or if you were talking to Tact, but Breck is female, unless you are just calling her sir despite that.)

Breck Veldtner: (to Conrick) "You certainly got spirit. Now we will need to test your skill. come with me."

Breck gets up from her desk and goes back to the first room. You both continue to a circle in some sand. Breck motions for someone to come over.

Breck Veldtner: (to Conrick) "This is Utliz, you will be fighting him. Depending on how the fight goes, will determine if you join the guild."

Utliz gets in the circle.

(OOC: Conrick roll initiative) 

Rilvar will toss a gold to Hati, "Here, you can owe me."

Another ale, I think, before bed - hands Elsa the barmaid 5 silver for the ale, and 2 silver for the service, and says to Hati - Here's 4 gp.  Pay it forward when you can.

Ritvar, I have an idea.  If the hill the goblins are under isn't too large, I was thinking we could find their back door, stake it out, and bung up their front door?

(Would Rilvar know from his military experience whether or not goblin caves usually had back doors?)

Hati passes back the gold he's recieved, "No thanks, I'll take the roof. Good to keep an eye on things anyhow."

“If this is how I can prove myself then I will not hold back. They say that lightning only strikes a single place once; for your sake I hope thats true.”

Initiative: 2

(OOC: NAT 1 on this first roll of the game lmao)

(OOC: this isn't a full update to the story, the goal of this is to catch Conrick up to the point where he is ready to start the next day and hopefully guide him into the main party.)

(OOC: to Rilvar, There isn't anything too typical about goblins, since they are sort of everywhere in Gallia. caves, underground or in the woods their villages, bases and what have you come in all shapes in sizes. probably best to scout out their lair before going in. As for Military information you would know its wise to not try to take on Goblins all at once, their strength is in numbers. They can see in the dark so its best to attack them at day, unless you have more specific knowledge on these goblins, and in this particular case you don't beyond where their lair is.)

(OOC: to Haiti, if you are planning on sleeping on the roof of the inn/tavern, go ahead and give me a stealth check.)

Conrick section: 

Start of Round 1

Initiative Order: Utliz and then Conrick.

(OOC: for this fight i will not put up a battle map or make a text map since its a small and "friendly" fight.)

Utliz is up

Utliz; is going to move into melee range and attack Conrick with his dagger.

Attack: 21

Damage(if it hits): 4 (OOC: due to an unknown effect the damage is actually doubled so its 8) (OOC: well... i didn't expect Conrick to go down in the first hit.)

Conrick is knocked out

combat is over.

an hour later Conrick wakes up in a different room in the guild hall. Breck Veldtner: (to Conrick) "You awake?"

Stealth: 6

Finnian, Rilvar, Edmond, Korhil, Haiti, Misty, and Gimble section:

(OOC: hopefully everyone's room situation is taken care of.)

(OOC: Finnian, read last update.)

(OOC: Rilvar, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Edmond, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Korhil, read last update.)

Haiti, when you are flying up to (or if you are climbing the building) the roof of the building a guard spots you. City Guard: (to Haiti) "Hey! what are you doing up there?"

With the conversation starting to die down (OOC: correct me if im wrong) Misty, tells everyone good night and she heads to her room to sleep.

(OOC: Gimble, is sleeping.)

(OOC: waiting for the conversation to finish before advancing. I am also hoping to finish Conrick's section.)

Conrick section: 

(OOC: read the last update.)

Conrick is rubbing his head and feels like he has a massive hangover. “Yes, thank you. Well that was a stark reality check... I clearly have to train before I show myself around here again. I just feel so lost! Sorry... that’s not your problem, I just can’t figure out where to go next in life. Thank you for the spar, I hope I can put up more of a fight next time we meet.”

(ooc: Edmond would know from tending pigs that burrowing animals  have burrows with more than one entrance.  Would Goblins, Gnomes, and Halflings be different in that regard?  If these Goblins don't have a 2nd entrance then his idea becomes more strait forward to put in place, yes?)

Hati, from the roof looks down and bluntly calls out, "Getting ready to sleep" He throws down a blanket and starts getting comfy, "Feel free to join in, there's plenty of room up here."

Finnian, Rilvar, Edmond, Korhil, Haiti, Misty, and Gimble section:

(OOC: hopefully everyone's room situation is taken care of.)

(OOC: Finnian, read last update.)

(OOC: Rilvar, is chatting with members of the party, read his post.)

(OOC: Edmond, since the pig farming is just character flare and not a gameplay mechanic i'll say you wouldn't know, if you want to try give me an intelligence check.)

(OOC: Korhil, read last update.)

Haiti, City Guard: (to Haiti) "A wise guy huh? Get down here if you know whats good for you."

(OOC: Misty, read last update.)

(OOC: Gimble, is sleeping.)

(OOC: waiting for the conversation to finish before advancing. I am also hoping to finish Conrick's section.)

Conrick section: 

Breck Veldtner: (to Conrick) "That would probably be best. Maybe you should find some fellow adventurers and work as a team. Not only will you have someone watching your back you can learn from them and they can learn from you. Still i like your spirit, come back again when you think your ready and we'll see what we can do."

(OOC: what does Conrick do?)

10  (oh boy...)

Hati glares down at the guard and stands up. In a burst of movement, his wings spread out and he jumps off the roof, letting his wings carry him down, landing right in front of the guard. He straightens out and glares down at the guard, his infernal pupils dilating to focus on this "puny man in armor".

Speaking with annoyance, Hati asks the guard, "Or what?" 

(Back with Trilena and Tolben)

Finnian nods and says, "You're probably right, either way, here's hoping that these problems get sorted out one way or another, yeah?" He finishes his ale, stands, and stretches. "I should probably see about finding my fellows, it was good talking to you both, though." With that, he heads off to (presumably) wait for or find the rest of the party in the inn.

(OOC: this is another non full update.)

(OOC: what was the roll for?)

City Guard: (to Haiti) "I tried being patient with you. This city has enough problems and doesn't need any more trouble makers. You are under arrest."

the city guard pulls out some manacles.

(what does Haiti do?)

(OoC: intelligence check to see if he would think about the consequences of his actions XD)

Hati smirks, "Funny, I thought I was being the patient one~" He then grabs the guard by the throat. (this is gonna devolve fast TT-TT)

Grapple Check: 5
