Mauric staggers back, severely injured. He rights himself and runs at the thug, screeching and swiping with his glaive.
Attack: 16 Damage: 11
Theren finishes the song and bows again. "Alright, thank you! Yall have been a great crowd!" he then hops down from the small stage and walks off.
The thug hits the ground hard, bleeding out. The other two thugs attack him.
Attack: 24 Damage: 16
Attack: 6 Damage: 15
Nai runs up after him. “Sir! That was amazing!”
Mauric takes the first hit, barely standing now. He casts entangle on the thugs. Both must make Strength saving throws.
Theren turns, a smile on his face. "Oh, thanks!"
STR: 105
Both fail. They are now restrained. Mauric turns to Nick, bruised and bleeding. “Get… back to… the inn…” He lifts his glaive. These thugs are just more components.
"My names Theren Dotsk. Retired adventurer. And you are?"
Nick staggers to his feet and grabs Mauric, lifting him in his arms. "Not leaving you here."
“I’m Nai Mezoge. Writer, tap dancer, bard, lots of stuff.”
”Oh no you don’t.” Mauric shakes free, looking truly murderous. “I’m gonna kill these guys first. Run along.”
"Pleasure to meet you." he says, shifting his guitar and holding out a hand.
A golden aura flares around Nick as he grabs their shoulders. "It's not worth it. Trust me."
She shakes it. “Let me guess, you’re staying at the Lord’s Rest?”
”Not… revenge…” He grins. “…I hate… to waste…”
He nods. "Sure am."
"Whaddya mean waste?"

“Me too! Makes you wonder why they haven’t opened a second location, with all the business they’re getting.”
“Every part’s… useful. Why take one-” Mauric slashes the glaive at the downed thug violently (Attack: 20 Damage: 11) “-when I can have three?”
