Ok!

Stop Posting!

Wonderful. Now, for setting the tone for tonight.. I'd really love a protect, and as for investigation.. Not sure. I'd love to see someone check into Requiem because his roleclaim still doesn't sit right with me, but I could see a random investigate also being useful.

The sun rises, sending luminous rays of light through the forest, and a new day dawns. Everyone seems to have made it through the night.

----------------------------

Another road, another day. The group solemnly trudges forward towards the cove of lost treasures. A few people are chatting, some are acting emotional. Its pretty monotonous. However, the monotony is broken by a scene down the road.

It looks like a traveling merchant is being assailed! Egads! He's desperately running down the road towards you, while a bandit-looking fellow is chasing him. Soon they are upon the group.

"Help, Help!!!! You must help me! He's a madman!", the man with the merchant-hat and large backpack says.

"Garghhhhh stop right there you scum! Give me that pack! Its mine!", the man with the eye-patch and rapier says.

Pausing for a moment, the group says nothing. Appraising these two characters, you have a hard time telling what actually is going on here. They are both pretty scruffy, and they are both panting visibly.

"What seems to be going on here?" A tall man in the group says.

Glaring cock-eyed at the tall man, the man with the merchant hat speaks up.

"Whats going? Whats going on?!!? I'm about to be murdered by a highwayman! Thats whats going on!"

The man with the eye-patch scoffs, "Laddie if I want'd to murder ya I'da done it already!"

The group is faced with a decision. They can either help the man with merchant-hat or help the man with eye-patch. Both claim to have been wronged by the other. The man with the merchant hat swears he was just trying to make it to the city of Anthonia when he was assailed by this dastardly highwayman who has been trying to rob him. The man with the eye-patch claims he is a hired hand paid to transport speciality goods from village to village. He claims the man with the merchant-hat stole his goods when he was asleep last night, and he just now found him. He also states that if he cannot deliver the goods to his master, a bounty will most likely be put on his head. Who will you help? Either way, there will be consequences.

IT IS NOW DAY 2

Well that's interesting. We're all alive.

Ok, taken the time to read it.. Does anyone have a challenge skill they can put into play here that would help us? I'm leaning towards Silvanus.. You can use your seduction to go seduce information out of one of them and help us make the right choice.

I think we just vote, and if we have a skill that is applicable, bali factors it in

Or...not? I dunno what that reply meant

ok, well, I propose that we go ahead and handle the challenge first, and then the lynch. Once we know what happens due to the challenge, then we can work.

I don't htink this challenge is something that's really going to be wrangled over, or should be wrangled over, so I propose we just pick one and bandwagon it and see what happens.

HELP THE MAN WITH THE EYEPATCH

I don't trust merchants, and I'm not going to assume the guy with the eyepatch is a robber just because of how he looks

Works for me.

HELP THE MAN WITH THE EYEPATCH

With 15 alive I'm assuming 8 to act, Bali?

Umm, guys, we got a thief in the group. Lost half of my gold last night.

Vis, you might want to spend yours when you can. They take half of it.

Planning on it as soon as we hit a shop up, man. I figured there'd be a thief. Bad luck for you, condolences.. :\\

As for teh challenge, does anyone have any info on it? Some special power go tingle when the challenge popped? If not I think we should just get this thing knocked out quickly and then we can turn to the lynch.

Lorick said he was poor, so why would someone steal from him?

I'd assume they didn't believe him.
