Good,says Con. He walks over to the table where Tarina and the others are gambling. Get out,he says, as politely as he can to the gamblers (except Tarina). Unless you're planning on fighting? And don't even think of causing trouble downstairs and letting folks know we're here. If you do, I will pay you a visit. Intimidation9

Earlier Mendax sips his tea and watches Kes comes down the stairs and answers him, "not like what I brewed at home, but it'll do. Seems quiet down here." He then yawns, shakes his head, and takes another sip of tea.
Now
Upon hearing Oloric's warning Mendax gets up and walks over to a window and cautiously looks down the streets to see if he can spot anyone suspicious (Perception: 17 ). He then turns to Con, Kes, and Vin and says, "maybe we should put Tarina in her room with one of us to keep her safe while the rest of us deal with Dead-Eye?"
Mendax shakes his head, "our job is to keep her alive, which means keep her out of the action." Mendax looks over at Tarina and says, "and you dead is no help to us." He then turns back to the rest of the party. "Remember, we're here to get info from Tarina and she can only do that if she is alive. Hells, I'd put her in the cellar if this tavern had one."
Con and Kes, the gamblers are confused and a little frightened as they stand up and head downstairs “We won’t say nothing, we promise, we wouldn’t even know what to say in the first place.”
Mendax, you look at the window and do indeed see a man who matches the description Tarina have you. A tall, wiry man with a goatee and one milky eye (played by Mads Mikkelson!) is walking towards the Elfsong flanked by several pirates.
Upstairs Tarina speaks up as you discuss her role in the coming brawl. “Listen, I’m not about to stand by and let you have all the fun.” She pats the cutlass on her hip. “Sally here is thirsty and I’ve been cooped up too long without a fight.”
Vin, Fairly and Will approach you and Will says “Is this what you were preparing for? Do you need help?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
You’re planning Is cut short when Dead-Eye walks up the stairs and surveys the room “Hello everyone, I’m looking for an old friend of mine, goes by the name of Tarina these days, loud, rude, loves to cheat at dice.” As he speaks a motley assortment of pirates comes up the stairs behind him until there are seven men flanking him. His eyes alight on Tarina and he smiles a cruel smile. “Speak of the Devil, there you are, Tarina! Time’s up, *****!” He draws a cruel looking scimitar and a long thin dagger, his men draw their cutlasses as well. Let’s roll for initiative!
Also, if you want to be somewhere else on the map please let me know now. Fairly is there played by Ian Holm, Will by Dan Stevens, and Oloric by Joseph Fiennes.
Dead-Eye looks at his men, “What do you say, boys? Let Tarina live, head back to the ship and sail away?” The pirates laugh and heft their weapons. The one standing to Dead-Eyes left, a particularly ugly and foul looking individual says “I don’t think so, boss, I say we gut her and then you let me have my way with this mouthy boy. He’s a pretty one, ain’t he?” The pirates laugh again and hurl some insults, there is some arguing about whether Vin or Kes is prettier and several of them claim dibs on one or the other.
Mendax looks over at Con and then at Tarina and is trying to get a read on Con and what his plan is at the moment. Once the fighting does break out Mendax will do his best to reach Tarina and protect her while the others engage with the pirate intruders.

"Con, you are putting the emphasis on the wrong word. Do it like this:"
Kestrell turns to the gamblers:
"...If you do, we will pay you a visit."

"In her room? I don't think she'd like that."
Kestrell turns to Tarina: "You probably want to be out where the action is, aye?"
Mendax shakes his head, "our job is to keep her alive, which means keep her out of the action." Mendax looks over at Tarina and says, "and you dead is no help to us."

Con glances over at Kes. Not bad. He turns away, muttering under his breath: We will pay you a visit. Pay you a visit...
To Mendax, he says: Best not split up. But, and he turns to look at Tarina, you be careful. The captain won't be happy if you get yourself hurt.
He takes a position leaning on the wall near the door, listening out for footsteps on the stairs.
Kestrell chuckles as he hears Con practicing his emphasis.
He nods in agreement as Tarina says that she will fight as well. "Sounds good, are we doing this up here? We wait for him?"

Let’s roll for initiative!
Pirates 3 16 10 16 21 14 13 Dead-Eye4 Oloric 10 Will 6
Con's initiative: 16
Fairly 9 Tarina 15
As Dead-Eye draws his scimitar, Kestrell warns him: "You should put that thing away, and then return to your ship. There doesn't have to be a fight!"
Initiative: 14
Persuasion: 7
Initiative: 4
Con would be at D9.

Kestrell looks sidelong at Con, then shrugs as if to say "I tried".
OOC: Where he is at currently is probably about where he was.
Mendax looks over at Con and then at Tarina and is trying to get a read on Con and what his plan is at the moment. Once the fighting does break out Mendax will do his best to reach Tarina and protect her while the others engage with the pirate intruders.
(Con doesn't really have a plan, other than to hit these guys with his sword until they die.)
((Figured, but Mendax doesn't know that...))
