Niall Parsons

Having heard the noise of the town and the assault, Niall decided to cut his meal short, in order to locate the source of the disruption. Leaving the money for the meal on the counter, he moves into the town, his hand resting on his bastard sword. He hears fighting and moves in a northerly direction. His thoughts are interrupted by the call of the dwarf. Looking over at a makeshift group, and the corpses of goblins, he understands the commotion, but wonders at what lies behind it. Hearing the words of the half elf, and seeing the wounds, he caresses the holy symbol he wears, letting the feeling of relief, as if a load is being lifted from them, roll over everyone present, "Greetings. I am Niall and I don't worry of my own safety so much. Are you all feeling well?" He doesn't speak much more, for the moment, letting the others become accustomed to him, and hoping these aren't fools that hate cultists for no reason.

Taika (Nevin)

"Physically well at least, though I felt a bit useless towards the end there." As Taika walks over to the group she eyes the crossbow at Elenion's belt, "I should probably buy one of those, I'm no crack shot, but it would be better than nothing."

Estella Porazio

The other wizard almost thought that she saw a huge goblin heading their way-- until she took a better look and realized that it's a half-orc instead, a cleric no less! "I feel simply horrible!" But she said. "Look at all this mess, ugh! We need to hurry and drive the goblins out before they make a bigger mess of this town..." Estella was more than eager to leave this carnage behind...

Lanna

Lanna divided the gold she had found and gave a share out to everyone. She handed the potion she found to the dwarf. She didn't much care for any of the other goblin gear, and wasn't really certain it had any value at all to anyone who buys such things, but they could determine that later.

"We need to move on and make sure the goblins elsewhere are dying"

Urko

The dwarf bangs the head of his axe against the cobbles to remove some goblin residue, then looks at the others.

"Right! Time to go dig up some more of the dirtgrubbers! I'm just getting started."

He swings the axe wildly overhead in excitement, then suddenly grunts. With a pained look he glances about.

"Alright, so where'd that potion go? I'm feelin' a bit sore."

Niall Parsons

Niall looks over the five others once more, though every seems to be in pretty good shape. He nods, then looks around, cocking his head slightly to one side as he tries to see or hear which direction more fighting would be in. Drawing his bastard sword, he glances to the others, "We should be going on about the business of fighting." Even as he speaks to the quintet, he hasn't had enough time to formulate any opinions. He hasn't even seen them fight, but he assumes their capable, if only because of the bodies on the floor.

Taika (Nevin)

"Yes, we should get back to work." Taika casts a quick spell, causing a horse to canter out of the ether. "Anybody who needs a diversion can take the horse, don't try riding it into battle though. They get skittish."

The Fight Through Town The heroes organize and take stock of themselves and their new companion with their wounds healed. Here and there, the sounds of battle, clanging swords , calls of support b y the town guard, and shrieking and singing goblins echo through the streets, but at the festival itself, most of the citizens have fled. One or two goblins remain behind to scavenge food, and many more lie dead (along with a few unfortunate citizens). As the heroes move towards the remaining goblins to dispatch them, a woman with a baby crawls out from where she was hiding under an overturned cart and make s a run for a nearby alley. A goblin leaps at her from the rooftop and lands on its head crumpling to a heap. A second goblin runs after her, but a torch thrown at the hapless woman by a third goblin hits him square in the back, causing his armor to burst into flames. The torch throwing goblin chitters in rage, but stops when he sees the party advancing on him. He screeches in terror and quickly clims to the rooftop and disapears. It is obvious that the fight has moved on, especially when the sound of a scream and a frantic barking come from the north.

OOC Sorry about that everyone! Things are calming down greatly here, and hopefully won't happen again. Have at it!

Elenion Valdemar

Cursing under his breath when he sees the woman being attacked, Elenion almost charges the small band of goblins himself, stopping only once it become obvious that they've all been disabled or dispersed of their own accord. His energy doesn't seem to entirely disperse, however, and even the usually combat-adverse rogue seems to be itching for battle, absentmindedly rubbing the guard of his rapier with his thumb. The screaming and barking, indeed, seem to easily capture his attention, and Elenion tenses up yet again, slipping into a sloppy imitation of a duelist's stance while craning his head and scanning the road ahead of them. "Sounds like the festivities are still going on up there," he dryly remarks.

Slipping into an easy jog, Elenion moves out a bit ahead of the rest of the group, scouting with all of the stealth and cunning he can muster under the circumstances while making a point of not outpacing the slower members of the party.

Estella Porazio

Estella almost fainted at the sight of the women being attacked by the three goblins, but fortunately they weren't as competent as she thought and their presence have seemed to scare last surviving goblin away. "What a mess, this wasn't the festival I had in mind at all!" The seamstress replied with dismay to Elenion's remark, while the man moved in front of the party.

Turning to the other wizard in her party, Estella asked as they move toward the battle. "Taika dear, you're a mage too, are you not? What spells do you have left for today? I myself only have one single spell (Color Spray) that can be used for combat, I afraid my other two spells won't be much help in this situation (Crafter's Fortune and Identify)."

 

OoC Just a little RP to, well, trade spell knowledge/awareness with Taika. Let's just assume we know/explained what each other's spells do, or it might take too long just to RP it.

Urko

Urko shakes his head at the two mages. "Ye got yer phenomenal cosmic powers and whatnot, and yer memorizin' spells to keep yer bib white! Buncha sun-addled spelldribblers." Clucking his tongue in disapproval, he looks towards the sounds of fighting from the North. "Well, grab yer crossbow's, there's more fun to be had!"

Elenion Valdemar

"Don't bring me into this," Elenion mutters over his shoulder, giving the two an exacerbated look that rather clearly shows his lack of interest in intra-party bickering or talk of kill counts.
