Re: Bones and Dirt
There are no openings to the street at the front of the tavern other than the front door. It's a narrow, dingy, and probaby quite dark, place where a certain ilk like to go specifically not to be seen.
Ulwe hears more shuffling around from beyond the door, but no one replies to his demand.
Khelzhad and the acolyte are standing nearby but the beggar is long gone.

Re: Bones and Dirt
"Acolyte, what is your name?" he asks the blue-tunic clad Orlanthian devotee.
After he is answered, Ulwe then calls out again to the unknown abductors
"The Spear-bearers will be here soon. Give up the priest now, and you will be spared most of Orlanth's fury!"

Re: Bones and Dirt
The acolyte gulps "Marran."
Ulwe hears nothing from inside the tavern but whispers.

Re: Bones and Dirt
Khelzhad looks around for any town watchmen, hoping to flag them down, and speaks to the priest:
"I have prayed for some help, but it may not come in time. Can you reach the temple for aid? I think we can hold them off, but an assault will be difficult with only 3 against many in a fortified position."
Khelzhad then moves up next to Ulwe in a defensive stance with his shield, hand on hilt. He would rather not fight such scum, despicable as they may be, and save his fire for the minions of chaos. But he will not leave his friend Ulwe to battle alone, and keeps a watch the nearby windows and alleys lest they try a sneak attack.

Re: Bones and Dirt
Pogar will continue to head towards the Inn that Khelzhad had spoken of. Asking some people if they knwo where it is, Pogar will pick up his speed in search of his cousin.

Re: Bones and Dirt
Marran nods vigorously at Khelzhad's suggestion but looks to Ulwe for guidance before running of to the temple.
Khelzhad looks around but with the sun now touching the western horizon there are few people in the streets. Many of the town watch are patrolling the southern end of town.
Pogar finds someone to give him directions and makes his best dwarven speed in that direction.

Re: Bones and Dirt
"Run as fast as your legs can carry you Marran." Says Ulwe. "Summon help, be it Spearbearer, Townwatch or even Axemen."
Ulwe then bangs his shield on the door. He steps back from the door after and calls out again: "Release the Seafarer now before it is too late for all of you in there!"

Re: Bones and Dirt
Slowly Pogar replays the message he heard and realizes that Khelzhad may be in trouble, as well as Ulwe. Once Pogar arrives at the building, Pogar will look around. Then will rush through the door.
[Pogar is nowhere near Ulwe and Khelzhad, and won't be for some time. -GM]
[Thats fine, I was just stating that when he gets there, he will rush through the door. Whenever he gets there.]
[Okie dokie! -GM]

Re: Bones and Dirt
Marran goes running off to the west and soon disappears into the shadows of twilight.
Ulwe hears nothing from inside the tavern.

Ulwe will then put an ear to the door to listen for any sounds.

Re: Bones and Dirt
Ulwe's helmet clunks into the wooden door as he tries to listen to what's going on inside the tavern. Alas, he can't hear a damn thing.

Re: Bones and Dirt
[ Is anyone else a little surprised that a soundburst is Ulwe's first response to a couple of ally thugs? Seems to lean a little towards the overkill there doesn't he? ]

Re: Bones and Dirt
[Butt out inkeep! Maybe Ulwe should have served them a couple of drinks instead?  Not that I feel like I need to justify anything to the likes of you, but... Soundburst is mostly non-lethal and stuns your foes. It also affected both opponents. Besides, seeing a fellow priest beaten by thugs pissed Ulwe (and Orlanth) off! ]
Ulwe takes a step back from the door and asks the bard: "Song-wise, any ideas?"

Re: Bones and Dirt
Khelzhad whispers back:
"I would rather not waste our strength fighting these scum when there is chaos to battle - let's see if we can ransom him back and let Orlanth deal their punishment."

Re: Bones and Dirt
Having taken time to gather the necessary accoutrements to deal with a press gang, Draxim hurries off toward the tavern
[He probably knows the location well. yes?]

Re: Bones and Dirt
"I cannot abandon a fellow priest to captivity and enslavement." Says Ulwe. "They have most likely slipped out the back by now." The sea-priest is clearly frustrated at the situation.

"They are mercenary - try for ransom and we will pay. If we check the back door let us do so all together - we don't want them getting 3 priests in one day, to which I'm sure their greed now aspires."

Re: Bones and Dirt
Seeing Ulwe's deepening rage, and hoping his message was received at the inn, Khelzhad draws his sword, breathes deep and reaches out with his vocals:
"Companions, unite! Companions to fight!
Let none assault the sons of Light!
Lord of Wind, we serve! We serve!
To fight! Companions of the Light!"
[Inspire Courage + 1 attack & damage]

Re: Bones and Dirt
The Ghuraskalli's song begins to replace Ulwe's impotent rage with stalwart courage and resolute will. He then kicks at teh flimsy tavern door with all his might.

Re: Bones and Dirt
The door of the tavern flew open and Ulwe strode through the opening like an enraged bull. Shield before him and spear held at the ready, the righteous priest glared into the murky gloom of the place and quickly found it mostly empty.
A young girl nearby held a pair of empty mugs in her quivering hands, and a few patrons sat quietly in one corner trying to be inconspicious. The door to the alley out back, however, was wide open.
Ulwe and Khelzhad figured the press gang had a good minute head start.
