(7078) Shot__: The night passes without event, though there is a looming feeling of danger nontheless. When you wake in the morning, you see that the sky is overcast. Thankfully, the horse, the cart, and your belongings are untouched. Except for a single letter placed there, with the emblem of the Macduff estate sealing it.
(7092) Antal: "is uh... Is taht what I think it is?"
(7088) Kindle: (( So i guess we didn't set watch or uh ))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Eh, we'll have to next time.))
(7092) Antal: ((More like the dorf got drunk and fucked us over))
(7092) Antal: ((joking by the way))
(7085) Greyhorn: "Be that as it may, we would best read it"
(7074) Yli: Yli checks himself for stab wounds.
** (7075) Pwll Kennall 's eyes touch on the letter, then he sighs and begins checking over all his gear. **
(7092) Antal: "Let me see that..." he takes the letter and begins reading it aloud.
(7078) Shot__: ((Typan))
** (7088) Kindle for some reason was late to notice the letter **
(7078) Shot__: "It appears my multiple attempts to end your folly have either been ignored or rebuffed. It also appears that you are determined to stay your course, no matter my actions. It is in my best interests if you do not enter the Dark Forest, and to this end, I have taken a few hostages. If you do not enter my homestead, or the forest, and merely wleave this nation instead, I will release them unharmed. If you decide to be heroes, however, I always have more of those wonderful shards. And they are so very sharp."
(7092) Antal: 's eye twitches noticably."I... should we... He'll kill... What do we do?"
** (7088) Kindle snarls as he hears the arrogant words and lets loose a stream of the same type of unintelligble speech that he had found himself forced to speak when first infected by one of the same shards. Realizing his speech is once more muddled, the half-orc angrily says another few words and begins rummaging throug his pack for the chalkboard **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Leev ma toin, ah jest get here."
** (7085) Greyhorn ponders. **
** (7088) Kindle takes a few moments to write something down and then stands and shows the board to everyone, not at all looking happy at being unable to speak normally once more. **
(7074) Yli: "There's no one I care about here, so let him commit more atrocities if he wants."
(7092) Antal: "What."
(7088) Kindle: Written: "So it seems I can't talk. Again. Regardless, I refuse to back down to the possibly empty threats of a murderer and coward."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "We ced allus leev tha countra, then circal aroun. Duznae solve tha preblem, tha...
** (7088) Kindle says something angry-sounding to Yli, looking disgusted **
(7092) Antal: "Absolutely not, Yli. We are NOT letting him run around kidnapping the innocent."
** (7085) Greyhorn hrums... **
** (7088) Kindle after making sure everyone (Everyone who's interested at least) read his message, he begins to write again. **
** (7085) Greyhorn looks up at the morning sun, then back to the forest. **
(7088) Kindle: Written: "The greatest evil a good man can commit is to fail to attempt to stop evil."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: [1d20+4] => [8,4] = (12)
** (7075) Pwll Kennall whistles and begins looking around the campsite for evidence of intrusion. **
(7074) Yli: "No, that's neutrality."
** (7088) Kindle frowns wordlessly at Yli, finding the dark man quite disagreeable this morning **
(7092) Antal: "I can't... I just refuse to let him run around torturing people simply because he holds those infernal crystals of his. We WILL save those people. We WILL find this man, and we WILL make him pay."
(7092) Antal: "This is not up for debate."
(7074) Yli: Half to himself. "Of course if you want to accuse the farmer that works his land of being evil because he's not taking up a sword to fight tyrants, go ahead."
** (7088) Kindle erases and gets back to writing **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Mare intrested in tha crystels thamselves. Wher are tha coomen fram?
(7088) Kindle: Written: "We have the power to fight him so we are obligated to do so."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Almest gerenteed ta be veint wit tha ferrest...
(7074) Yli: "Ah. Well, I'm not immediately convinced we have the power to succeed, so that is where my caution and your naivety collide."
(7085) Greyhorn: "I don't believe the question is if we'll strike the blow...just how."
** (7088) Kindle glares daggers at Yli **
(7051) Calchexas (enter): 17:25
(7051) Calchexas (exit): 17:26
(7085) Greyhorn: "He's had the upper hand in spotting us this entire time. How?"
(7088) Kindle: Written: "He clearly was able to get his letter to us, but since we are alive I assume he lacks the strength to back up his threats."
(7092) Antal: rubs his chin in thought. "How? Yes how... how..."
** (7088) Kindle privately wonders whos watch it was when the letter was delivered, and whether his 'companions' can truly be trusted. **
** (7075) Pwll Kennall walks around behind Kindle and points at his temple, making questioning gestures, before putting his hands behind his back if Kindle turns around **
(7092) Antal: "He knows where we are. But... what if we were to, say, split up? At least, one of us could separate and find those hostages while the rest of us continue to draw his attention."
(7074) Yli: "Honestly, I don't understand how he managed it and didn't murder us in our sleep. It seems like that would be the logical course of action."
(7074) Yli: "Perhaps it is merely madness on his part."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Aye, tis strange.
(7085) Greyhorn: "Maybe he's not here to murder us."
(7085) Greyhorn: "Just stop us from entering the forest."
(7088) Kindle: Written: "A combination of magic and weakness. I'm going to march up to his house and bash down his door."
** (7088) Kindle points in the direction they've been traveling, to the MacDuff estate **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "He hasnae shewn ah reluctance afore...
(7092) Antal: "Ser Kindle, we can't. He'll kill them, the hostages."
(7085) Greyhorn: "There are two ways we can do this I think, without splitting up."
** (7088) Kindle growls angrily to himself as he mutters **
(7085) Greyhorn: "We can do it fast, and hope to get there before he can kill the hostages..."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Well, nae, jest ah usual desire fer tha prevelages ah rank.
(7085) Greyhorn: "Or..."
(7088) Kindle: (as he re-writes*)
(7088) Kindle: Written: "If he even HAS the hostages he claims to have."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Tha drood.
(7085) Greyhorn: "We can sneak in, and take him by surprise."
(7092) Antal: "He's done it before, and he'll do it again if he has to. He's done it once already."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: Wen, ah list.
(7074) Yli: "Who knows? He could take his own servants as hostages, they would count."
(7074) Yli: ((I am the voice of un-reason!))
** (7088) Kindle seems to be getting more and more angry and frustrated as he continues to scribble on the board, his penmanship likewise degrading **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Pr'aps ah twa ferked appreach?
(7092) Antal: "Yes!"
(7092) Antal: "That's it Pwll, that's what we need!"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "I summae doot he's stannen ther wit ah nife ta their threts...
(7092) Antal: "We can meet with him. Go to his estate and ask him about the forest. We'll examine his home as we enter and figure out how to procede."
(7092) Antal: "Then we'll kill him."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Tha letter ferbede goon ta either.
(7085) Greyhorn: "That's...too slow."
(7085) Greyhorn: "He'll kill the hostages."
(7088) Kindle: Written: "If he's the type to take and kill hostages than he is, but to do nothing is weakness and cowardice! I REFUSE to let him have his way. I'm GOING, and if the rest of you are too shaken by his claims and threats to do anything then that's on YOU. I'm not going to slink around and let his someone evil enough to murder civilians dictate how I will act."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Tha ferrest ARE tha maner.
(7074) Yli: ((You know what would be awesome, if Pwll's accent slowly disappears as the rest of the characters get used to him))
** (7075) Pwll Kennall taps Kindle on the leg **
(7074) Yli: (('cause damn that cognitive overhead, Pwll))
** (7085) Greyhorn points his hammer at Kindle. "Halt and have patience if you know what's good for ya." **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Plannen tisn't coordice, lad.
** (7088) Kindle angrily looks down at the pup **
** (7088) Kindle makes sure everyone has read what he's written then gets back to writing, hating the necessity of such a slow form of communcation **
** (7085) Greyhorn thinks that this might be building Kindles character, and stays silent on /that/ issue **
(7074) Yli: Yli reads Kindle's tiny writing, crossing out the "not" in "I'm not going to slink around"
(7092) Antal: "We just need to talk to him, reason with him. Of course, we won't really reason with him. I'm sure if we contacted him somehow to set up a meeting he'd let us get close."
(7088) Kindle: Written: "Then do what it is you've been suggested. Take whoever's fit to do so and sneak around the side or behind or whatever. I'm big and not suited for it."
** (7088) Kindle angrily pens down a few more words. "I REFUSE to REASON with him. There is ONE answer to such a man." **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "An offer wha? Needs tha beit, ser.
(7074) Yli: "He said pretend to reason with him."
(7092) Antal: "we won't really reason with him. I plan on killing him as much as any of you, its just... we need to keep up appearances."
(7085) Greyhorn: "I agree with Kindle, if only for the sake of the hostages. He did say that he didn't want us approaching his mannor."
(7074) Yli: "That's a ridiculous idea though."
** (7088) Kindle starts scribbing on his board for a moment then throws it on the ground and starts frustratedly pacing, letting a an angry stream of unintelligble words freely flow from his mouth. **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Still needs tha beit. Ah treps nae guid iffen ye cannae tempt anythin in.
(7074) Yli: "What Kindle said."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Ang on.
(7092) Antal: "He didn't really say anything though. "
** (7088) Kindle sneers at Yli, then picks up and packs away his chalkboard, to all appearances making himself ready for travel **
(7074) Yli: "Kindle, you can be angry with us after we figure out what we actually want our course of action will be." He sticks his tongue out.
** (7085) Greyhorn sighs. "You are really gonna be the death of me..." **
(7085) Greyhorn: "We're in agreement though. Save the hostages, and make this "noble" pay."
(7085) Greyhorn: "We can either split up, or go in fast."
(7085) Greyhorn: "Or sneak in."
(7085) Greyhorn: "Now, I'm not one for that much sneakin', nor is our hotheaded friend here."
(7085) Greyhorn: "So splittin' up would be good."
(7074) Yli: "And the other party would be doing?"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Ah think tha best cuursa actin wood be ta split, an sent tha sneaks in ferst.
(7085) Greyhorn: "Another thing...We need time. An' here me out on this Kindle, an' whoever else is going with"
(7085) Greyhorn: "We head back towards the village, as if giving up. The man isn't using much magic, so we can see to blinding him."
** (7088) Kindle readies himself and unslings his hammer, letting it fall to the ground with a heavy thud, then glares impatiently at the dwarf **
(7092) Antal: "The way I see it, one group can head in the general direction of 'away' while the rest break off and begin searching the MacDuff estate. So yes, going to the village would serve our needs just fine."
(7085) Greyhorn: "My bet is, he has a rogue watchin' us. If we can lure him away, then the sneaks find him, we can rightly take him out and have a straight shot at the estate before he can properly respond."
(7074) Yli: Yli looks apprasingly at the rest of the group. "We have more than one 'sneak'?"
(7085) Greyhorn: "Or we can simply go around the roads, and try to find the estate through the forest, and hopefully avoid pryin' eyes."
** (7088) Kindle has already packed away his chalkboard so he writes crudely on the dusty ground with the handle of his hammer. "No delay. He = not inactive. Delay = give him time" **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Aight, tis soondan fitten.
(7092) Antal: "I suppose I can join you, Yli, if we go with that plan. But... I'd have to leave my armor behind."
** (7085) Greyhorn frowns, quickly losing his patience with the half-orc. "We play this safe and slow, or we kill innocents boy. I can't bring back the dead." **
** (7088) Kindle snorts and shrugs, not willing to waste the time needed to further communicate in an entirely less-than-efficient manner. He shoulders his hammer and begins walking down the road towards the estate. **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Ah, red rivvers an tha baodh clannach.
** (7085) Greyhorn takes a deep breath, and looks to the others, looking for an answer to this. **
(7074) Yli: "Hit him."
(7092) Antal: lunges forward to grab Kindle's arm. "Ser Kindle, please. We can't."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Ah cannae step hem.
(7092) Antal: "There are lives on the line here. If you are a just man like I know you are, you will stay. Please."
** (7088) Kindle snarls and shakes Antal off, having much to say on the matter but no easy way to say it. So what's a PALADIN OF JUSTICE to do other than to strong-arm his way into doing whatever he sees 'fit' and ignoring all attempts to get him to show some flexibility? Yay paladins. **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "He's aspecten ye. Ye'll be awalken into ah scene ah tyranny an cernege.
(7074) Yli: ((Kindle can whine about his poor character choice AFTER the game. ;) ))
(7088) Kindle: (( in this case, I really do have to apologize for Kindle being THAT GUY ))
(7092) Antal: clenches his fists as he watches Kindle's shrinking form. "I'm going to hate myself for this..."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "An who naes wha tha magics 'es get'll dae?
** (7085) Greyhorn kneels down, and gives a quiet prayer to the Forgemaster, asking for patience and guidance...He stops mid prayer, and changes his mind, asking for forgiveness. **
(7092) Antal: "I suppose its true what they say about Half-Orc's, then?"
(7085) Greyhorn: "Get on."
** (7085) Greyhorn moves to the wagon. **
** (7075) Pwll Kennall whispers to Yli "Well, he'll be ah prim distracten, tha... Cannae ye circal aroun an ootpace em? **
** (7088) Kindle does that stiff-shouldered walk of The Lonely Hero and continues his resolute marching, ignoring the jibes and attempts to dissuade him from HIS HOLY DUTY. **
** (7085) Greyhorn jumps up to the wagons back, and looks to the others present. "What'cha waitin' fer? Get on!" **
(7074) Yli: Quietly "Fine, fine. Wish me luck."
** (7075) Pwll Kennall hops up. **
(7085) Greyhorn: "This is madness. Madness from the blackest of soot."
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Tha wey ah see it, tha hoostages ern't getten ta leve thra hem coomen in.
(7092) Antal: "Its true, isn't it. You're a brute like all the others. An animal no better than the rest. YOU KNOW NOTHING BUT KILLING, HALF-ORC." Satisfied with that rant, Antal hops onto his mount.
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Sah we mite as well fellew em an meke tha best ah it.
** (7085) Greyhorn climbs over to the drivers seat, and glares at Yli. "Well? We're goin' hard." **
(7092) Antal: "But we can't!"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "A secend roond ah hoostages'll tek ah bit ta take ep.
(7085) Greyhorn: "It's on his head."
(7085) Greyhorn: "We need to get there, and stop him from ever doing this again. If this means death. So be it."
(7085) Greyhorn: "But fightin' is what he wants."
(7085) Greyhorn: "So lets give it to 'im"
(7092) Antal: "But it won't just be on his head, Ser Dwarf. We just can't do something that will endanger the lives of the innocent."
(7085) Greyhorn: "Oh dun I know it? But innocent or not. We need to do this. If we don't, Kindle is going to die. We're all going to die. And then where will we be?"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "We 'aven't endangered nebeday.
(7074) Yli: "There's a clear distinction here, Antal. We're not the ones doing the endandering."
(7074) Yli: ((typo.))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Tha wed be 'is lerdshi.
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((lordship.))
(7085) Greyhorn: "So stop ya yappin' and get on, so I can make the hells feel the wind of our passin"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: "Speken ah witch... Ah need a menit ta get tha oogre gooan. Cannae ye held a mement?
(7092) Antal: "I'll ride pony."
** (7085) Greyhorn simply glares ahead, in a dark mood already. **
(7074) Yli: Yli is already on the cart. No, you didn't notice.
** (7075) Pwll Kennall hops down and begins chanting, focusing on his large crystal eyepiece. **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Feel free to have me catch up later.))
(7085) Greyhorn: ((You serious?))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((I'm actually faster in it, and I doubt I'll be very stealthy with. Unless you wanted summon support.))
(7085) Greyhorn: (I'm not even sure what you are doing)
** (7085) Greyhorn growls, and whips the reigns to begin. **
** (7075) Pwll Kennall earth begins to sluice up Pwll's legs like water, coating him in a thin layer of dirt and gravel, which impedes him not in the slightest. **
** (7075) Pwll Kennall takes a moment to wave slightly, but hurries back to casting. **
** (7088) Kindle starts composing an epic poem to his own heroism **
** (7085) Greyhorn grumbles as he has trouble with the cart. "Damnable beast. Get Goin! HA!" **
** (7092) Antal follows the cart, guiding Pony along and whispering encouragement to him as they drove ever faster towards their destination. **
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Hopefully you're treating my mule well...))
(7088) Kindle: (( don't worry it's in a platonic way ))
(7078) Shot__: TYPAN
(7092) Antal: ((goddamn you MZ))
(7085) Greyhorn: ((I'm not))
(7085) Greyhorn: ((Fuck you people for making the dwarf drive)
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Also kettle fillan))
(7078) Shot__: The good news is, the cart and horse are speeding down the road at breakneck speed. Even better, they're heading right for the estate, barely visible in the distance as a large walled building. The bad news is, steering is a huge issue, and they're heading right for a speed bum- er, Paladin. Slamming into him and continuing thundering forth the cart goes.
(7078) Shot__: [1d6+2] => [6,2] = (8)
(7078) Shot__: ((Ouchies.))
(7085) Greyhorn: "GOOD NEWS. I FOUND THE PALADIN"
(7085) Greyhorn: "HOOOOO"
** (7085) Greyhorn triest to stop the cart. **
** (7088) Kindle has a wonderful moment where he hears the cart coming up behind him, and the half-orc beings to smugly turn around, ready to let loose a (written) lecture about how he KNEW that the rest of the party would listen to reason eventually, only to find that as he turns around that the cart was much closer and going much faster than he predicted **
(7074) Yli: ((Now TWO of us have been run over by carts! This is what you're going to be remembered for, Shot.))
(7092) Antal: "Ser Dwarf, that's not how you tell them to stop!"
(7074) Yli: ((There should be a Reflex save, Shot.. be nice.))
** (7088) Kindle gets knocked over by the horse in front and slams into the ground on the side of the road **
(7085) Greyhorn: "BLOODY ANIMAL."
(7088) Kindle: ((he had me make a reflex save, i did it in a whisper))
(7074) Yli: ((ah.))
** (7088) Kindle sees little birds fly around his head in true cartoon style **
(7092) Antal: "IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN A DAMNED CART?"
(7078) Shot__: ((Greyhorn, roll Handle animal again))
(7085) Greyhorn: [1d20] => [4] = (4)
(7085) Greyhorn: "IM A BLACKSMITH NOT A MERCHANT"
(7078) Shot__: TYPAN
(7092) Antal: "No dammit, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU STOP, FOOL. STOP DOING THAT!"
(7078) Shot__: Onward the cart flies, propelled by the rather mighty horse in the lead. Pony almost has trouble keeping up at this point, as the estate looms rapidly closer. If you don't stop it soon, the horse is going to plow right into the gate! At this point, you see at least eight guards posted at the front gate, along with hounds on chains. Two sit on the wall with bows.
** (7075) Pwll Kennall 's shenanigans sense is tingling. **
(7085) Greyhorn: ((Dwarf Tells everyone to get on the Cart. No one gets on the cart. WELL. WE WENT WITH THE SPLIT THE PARTY PLAN AFTER ALL))
** (7088) Kindle (down 8) gets up slowly, shaking his head and trying to regain his senses, then looks ahead towards the estate to see that somehow everyone else (so it seems) has managed to get ahead of him. With a growl he stumbles into a run, activating a quick Lay On Hands to recover some of his health **
(7088) Kindle (down 8): [1d6] => [2] = (2)
(7085) Greyhorn: "I SAID HA! STOP YA FLIPPENT"
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((I was busy, dude. Rather walk in with my HP doubled than without, thanks all the same.))
(7085) Greyhorn: ((Next time I say "I don't even know what you are doing," you can have the heads up of I DONT KNOW what you are doing.))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Terribly sorry.))
(7092) Antal: ((yes in retrospect I should've driven the cart. Sorry.))
(7088) Kindle (down 6): (( FORRR JUSTIIIIICEEEE))
(7078) Shot__: ((Roll Handle Animal one last time, Greyhorn))
(7085) Greyhorn: [1d20] => [8] = (8)
(7092) Antal: "Ser Dwarf, I have an idea! Plow the cart right on through!"
** (7085) Greyhorn whips the reigns once more. "STRIKE HARRRRRD" **
(7074) Yli: "Brilliant!"
(7092) Antal: "wait, don't PULL THE REIGNS LIKE-- nevermind."
(7092) Antal: ((-g))
(7074) Yli: ((better to rein in hell))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Than let it run rampant?))
(7078) Shot__: THe horse whinneys, pulling its full sprint into it, berserked by the numerous lashings to its flanks. THe bandit gaurdsmen and their hounds dive out of the way, about half outright fleeing - after all, if they were carazy enough for this, who in God's Name would fight them and expect to live?! THe gate comes crashing down, the bulk of the horse slamming through to reveal an aging house. The jhorse, afterwards, falls unconscious, pushed too far to continue.
(7074) Yli: Yli disembarks, and immediately starts attacking any guards not fleeing.
(7078) Shot__: Yli: None in range.
(7088) Kindle (down 6): (( ditto. Kindle, following at a run, intends to charge and give fight. Inititative? Map? What? ))
(7078) Shot__: PMap is up
(7078) Shot__: Everyone who is there, Initiative.
** (7085) Greyhorn jumps out. "AND THATS WHY YA NEVER LET A MAD DWARF DRIVE" **

(7078) Shot__: ((Remember, Initiative next to name~ ))
(7092) (18) Antal: ((Uh... which, which side are we on?))
(7078) Shot__: See the red square after the fence? That's the cart.
(7088) Kindle 14 (Down 6): (( i'm throwing up the minis, one minute ))
(7074) Yli: ((I have no mini))
(7088) Kindle 14 (Down 6): (( okay Kindle's, Pwll's, and Antal's are up, move 'em to wherever they'd be Shot))
(7074) Yli: I keep getting "file does not exist" errors!
(7078) Shot__: ((Who was on the cart, or with it? ))
(7075) Pwll Kennall: ((Same here. Seems to have stopped.))
(7088) Kindle 14 (Down 6): (( Greyhorn was at the reins, Yli was in the back, Antal was following on Pony ))

(7085) (6) Greyhorn: I'll put it back up in a sec
(7088) Kindle 14 (Down 6): (( just need Shot to move us where we're supposed to be ))
(7078) Shot__: Okay, everyone have their Init score in their nick
(7078) Shot__: Pwll has yet to arrive, Kindle is just ahead
(7088) Kindle 14 (Down 6): ((ahead of what? can't you just move my mini to the proper position? ))
(7078) Shot__: It is in the proper position
(7078) Shot__: And you're ahead of Pwll. :V
(7088) (14) Kindle (Down 6): ((fuck yeah))

(7092) (18) Antal: ((Those guards are coming at us right?))
(7092) (18) Antal: ((I suppose I'll use an intimidation check to get them to back right the fuck off.))

(7088) (14) Kindle (Down 6): (( c'est moi? ))
(7078) Shot__: ((Kindle, yergo. ))
(7088) (14) Kindle (Down 6): The half-orc, behind the wagon, would be crashing into the thunderstruck 'guards' at full speed, shouting "You who would serve an evil master are no less culpable for his crimes!" He would, anyway, were he capable of intelligent speech, but to most it would just be an image of a crazed half-orc with a large hammer sprinting at them shouting gibberish and looking as if he'd just been run over by a wagon.

(7092) (18) Antal: [1d4+1] => [2,1] = (3)
(7078) Shot__: ((Okay, Kindle.))
(7088) (14) Kindle (Down 12): Kindle takes a deep breath to restore part of his health, feeling his battle lust rising as the first blows of combat are struck. He takes a more defensive stance after the initial charge, aiming his hammer to the chest of the uninjured guard before stepping back towards Antal. (Lay on Hands, Attack, Five Foot Adjust )

(7078) Shot__: It's barred.
(7078) Shot__: On the inside, you can tell because it won't open.
(7088) (14) Kindle: Kindle himself is in somewhat in a fighting mood, somehow perversely enjoying taking out his frustations in the world on these foolish bandits, screaming in his unintelligble tongue "You've FORFEITED your right to liiiiife!" in a terribly dramatic fashion as he swings to the uninjured man in front of him again.
