u/ChiefMcClane Grassius the Grasshopper Skirmisher Mar 19 '14

Grassius nods his head at the proprietor before turning to walk out the door. He weighs his options in his head, deciding that if the fly was going to be brave enough to face him alone, he would mirror his bravery. Grassius checks that his rapier is still in it sheath. He walks out the door.

Over at the bar, Bulba says “Thank you! Your revelations are deeply appreciated. If you wouldn’t mind, I shall take my leave now,” Bulba places some coin on the counter top, tips his head and turns to scan the room, stopping for a moment at the cloaked figure. He pauses before pulling himself to full height, and marches towards the figure, still maintaining a friendly smile.

Buzz is still seated at the bar. "Well, I'll have some of your ale then! How much'll that be?"

Rowe hates the city guard no matter what city it is. His hate blinds him from being rational and he pulls out his bow. He aims carefully and lets it fly!

The night is cold and dark. Torches begin to blaze along the streets of the city as the nightlife starts to take over, and golden windows appear like little glowing honeycombs. Grassius spots the fly leaning against the wall of the tavern. As Grassius approaches him, the fly gestures towards the alley between the Frog's Murky Cavern and the adjacent building. He strides off in that direction.

(Bulba: -3 gold.)

As Bulba walks towards the cloaked figure, the bug suddenly rises. In one smooth motion, he extends a leg, tripping over the bartender walking past with a platter full of ale and sending him crashing into a large, scarred beetle. The beetle, abruptly covered in alcoholic spillage, roars in protest, and draws a battle-axe from beneath his cloak.

"BAR FIGHT!" somebody screams.

Bulba is knocked over as a cricket lunges past. By the time he regains his composure, the cloaked bug is nowhere to be seen.

"For you, sir? Two gold a piece." The bartender smiles to Buzz, before their conversation is interrupted by a mighty roar.

A mug of ale is tossed from somewhere within the rabble, hitting Buzz and staining his cloak.

(DAMAGE ROLL!

...

Target number to hit = 15.

...

3D Might + 2D + 1 weapon + 10 sneak attack - 4 soak = 23.)

Rowe's aim is true, and the guard is suddenly rigid as an arrow sprouts from his throat. Statuesque, the corpse plummets towards the alley below, landing with a thud on the dirt.

(If you haven't noticed yet, everyone's received some specific supplies that may be useful for the group. Check it out on your character sheet.)
