Northlands Campaign

Your blade catches him just under the shoulder blade and he slumps to the ground.  However, he is still breathing, unlike his compatriots.  Quick action could save him for future questions, but they haven't been very forthcoming with information so far ...

Roll for luck: 8

The fates smile upon you this day as you notice the hilt of your rapier just past your knees.

Barnabus will hold his position until the driver is close enough to attack. Once in range the dwarf will swing the bundle in an attempt to strike the driver. 

Attack: 23

Damage: 4 OCC: I didn't know how you wanted to treat a bag full of stuff so I just went with empty hand strike.

Barnabus will slowly move back around to the opposite side of the wagon keeping the bag and stick but leaving the rock. His destination is the drivers seat. Should Barnabus fail his stealth check he will abandon any attempts at stealth and move to the seat as quickly as possible. Once in the seat he will release the brake and smack the horses with the stick, yelling as he does so in an attempt to spook the animals and get them running. He makes no attempt to drive only to hang on giving the horses free reign to run down the path until they tire and slow.

Stealth: 8

Athletics: 9

Kina whips around like the two-legged pupils of her master and slams her hooves into the man's weapon arm if she can, trying to knock his sword flying.

damage: 5

second kick: 15  and damage (if applicable) 4

The cart is ox drawn, and the bundle had your shield on top, and everything else just wrapped in a sheet of heavy cloth, you would have time to grab 2 items before he gets in range.  Roll damage for whatever weapon I'm assuming you grab.

You find nothing of value on the bodies, but there is a small chest under the driver's seat of the wagon.  Carefully probing, it is unlocked and opens easily.  Inside are 3 masks, one decorated like a sunburst, one as a crescent moon, and one as a full moon.  Beneath them are the robes you recall from your first glimpse of them.  Tucked inside the mask are pieces of folded parchment.  There are also 3 weighted leather pouches under the robes (aka Blackjacks)

You spin and feel your hooves connect and hear the air rush from his lungs.  Followed by a cry of surprise that turns to pain.  Looking back, you see the two figures entwined coming to a rest at the base of a tree a little further down the slope.  From this distance, you cannot tell if either are still moving.  Roll a Perception check.

The man's breathing eases, but he remains unconscious.

You have no trouble loading the unconscious and bound man into the wagon.  You notice again the wooden chest under the seat in the bed of the wagon ... it is too large to move up front, but you pile your gear and their 3 scimitars up front, leaving enough room for you to drive.

Kina runs down the hill after the two, prepared to continue the fight if they continue resisting.

Perception: 7

You grab axe and shield and crouch behind the wagon as footsteps approach down the side.  "Hey, you dolts, he's..."  His voice cuts out suddenly as you swing, turning your axe to hit with the flat of the blade and connect solidly with his torso.  He staggers back a step, but collects himself and draws his scimitar in a slashing motion, swinging at you.  Attack: 22 Damage: 5

You spot one of their scimitars laying in the path several feet from where they landed, but can't tell if the other is still armed or not.  As you approach, they have not moved, but you hear at least one of them is still breathing, if a bit raggedly.

Kina kicks the scimitar she sees away and approaches the one she isn't sure is still breathing, attempting to roll him over with her hoof.

You find a pair of scraps in each mask, seemingly identical copies.  The first piece is a crude map, from what you know of the land, its showing a gap in the Lands End mountains, and a trail leading north through there.  Incredulously, you shake your head and ponder, that must be the swamp, but no one has come back from the Greymere Moor in decades.  The second piece is a list of name, the first few have been lined through, including yours.  Further down the list, you recognize another name, a young lad that was training with the guard and rumored to be showing quite a bit of promise.

You roll crescent over, and off of sunburst.  As you do, you notice a spreading bloodstain on the back of his robe.  Sunburst coughs and looks up at you weakly as his eyes start to glaze.  His hands are empty, so there is still one weapon unaccounted for.

Kina checks crescent... she's pretty sure he fell on sunburst's sword, but just to be certain, she pulls crescent's robe.

You assessment proves accurate, he has hopefully finally found peace.  Sunburst head slumps over, but he still seems to be breathing.

The packed earth path continues on for some miles.  Just before the sun looks to set, you see a small cluster of farmhouses in the darkening (due to low sun) dell before you.

His first attack was caught on your shield, but he nimbly avoids your next swing and tries to circle around your flank before taking another slash.

OOC:  I will assume you use your reaction to keep your shield towards him.  So the attack will miss again.
