"Phew, that took more outta me than I expected,"
*Sits down*
"So......., What's going on here?"
 
Well, seems we are about to be invaded! The milita are trying to get everyone in a joint effort to repell them. I'm not much use in a direct fight, but I can duck,dodge weave and dive! Some locals didnt want to help, and this is what happened

*gestures over shoulder to continuing chaos in street*

Look, you go ahead, deal with that and then try and find the captain, he will be able to put you to good use. I'll finish to this milita man then come help you ok?
 
Lin Chuan yells, "May you please stop it!"

Then, he attempts to burn their bows. The thugs kept stringing as he chanted the spell.
 
"Oh, all right."
*Wipes sweat off of brow, and strings shortbow*
I go and find a spot where I can get a good view of the fight and be able to shoot my bow at the thugs.
 
Looking at the situation around him, Jal Rekin decides to rush to talk to the Militia Captain.

"I know some tactics- can I help with tactical advice?"
 
" I am all ears but I doubt you have more experience than me in defending small villiges with inferior troops from orc raids than I do. But please take a seet I my as well brief you with my second in command. If you have any ideas just say. Now we need to wait for him to arrive."

Lin's magical display stops the thugs. They cower in fear and stop fighting. The three who are left alive are arrested. The milita men thank you and tell you that you that the captain will here of your good work. The wounded man was taken from Aiken care. The milita man says "Thank your friend for me and thank you of course. And by the way you can keep the pouchs as a reward. They contain some herbs, a flint and steel, a small mirror and 12 Dari (GP)."

"How would the odds seem from the orc's perspective? Us adventurers have no apparent reason to help- could one of us pretend to defect?"
 
" Bah if you tried to defect Enzor would see through it and if he didn't he would break your mind anyway for fun. The orcs with Enzor leading them think we have no chance. I hope your friends the old man and the gnome are good spellslingers or else we won't have a chance."
 
Lin Chuan arrived at the Hunter's Lounge, "Hunters, I come here to ask you, to ask you to help me against an Orcish raid from the North West. This is a great request for if the defenders fail, all will be destroyed. Let us go and hunt those hostile Greenskins."

"They aren't my friends- just people I happened to meet."

Jal Rekin stopped talking, gesturing that he'd prefer to listen to this briefing before opening his mouth again.
 
*Aiken smiles*

"Why thankyou, was only doing what I could."

[Return to the scene of the crime and loot the body of the thug for EVERTHING.] Use the dead mans shirt to wrap everything else up into a makeshift sack.

"Does anyone know if this guy had any family? Where did he live?" Aik asked the world in general
 
The second in command walked in at this point. " Sorry I am late sir got a bit," he notices Jal, "Who the hell are you?".
 
Which one there are three? The one you killed, Charles killed or the NCP killed.
 
The second in command walked in at this point. " Sorry I am late sir got a bit," he notices Jal, "Who the hell are you?".

"One of the adventurers helping defend the town. I thought I might help with tactics."

(NOTE: If he argues that I should be fighting, Jal Rekin points out the rough proportions of his brains to his brawn, and demonstrates it)
 
"Look I know you are a bit skinny so what, A full quater of the milita are women and you can help put up baricades etc. you don't need to be a hulk. With all due repect sir we should get him tested before we let him be briefed. For all we know Enzor could be able to reach out at the start of the battle and take our plans from his mind."
"Commander Kavin do you think you could resist Enzor? If it were a lesser mage I would agree with you but I doubt even the spellslingers could stop him if he tried hard enough. Now let's start the brief. Overal objective of combat defend the town from too much damage, protect civilians, drive off the orcs, try and kill Enzor and finally limit casulties. I belive to complete the first objective we must hold the enemy at the gates and first baricades if possible if the enemy is too strong we could consede the first baricades. As the enemy will attack from the North-West this is were the main force will be deployed. We will have twenty men at the West Gate under my command, twenty at the North including the adventurers withh them in command. A token force of five men at the other gates and a stirke team of severn men (wizards here) to try and take out Enzor. Everyone clear on that?
 
If noone is about, I will drag the bodies into a back alley, strip them, keeping the most valuable items and stashing anything else. Even if its worth a copper penny I can sell it to the local pawnbroker.

Once done I will go to the meeting.

"Captain, I am a good runner, perhaps I could encircle the enemy and paly tricks on them.. perhaps a mage could lend me some spells?"
 
You gain 30 Sari (SP), a couple of shortswords and a dagger. Some leather armour two which are useable one wecked. You also gain some odd trinkets which get you 4 Sari at the pawnbroker.

At the meeting the captain bellows " LEND YOU SOME SPELLS! ARE YOU THE VILLAGE IDIOT!? MAGIC CANNOT BE GIVEN YOU ARE BORN WITH THE ABILITY AND IT IS TRAINED! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? FOR THAT DISPLAY OF STUPIDITY I AM PLACING YOU IN THE STRIKE TEAM. A MILITA MEMBER WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE. Good Luck against Enzor. Now where was I?"
 
*Mutters something about suggesting the captain shoving his head somewhere dark*


"Right you are boss"




}{ Compile the best Leather Armour you can and put it on, sling the short sword over your shoulder. Dump the rest }{

OOC: I'll work out how much money I have now and spend it.
 
"Good. At least you know when to keep your mouth shut."

You manage to repair the arrow hole on the shoulder of the leather armour by patching it from the wecked one. You have 32 Dari and 34 Sari. Plus a spare shortsword and the armour. Do you sell it or leave it in your room?

The hunters rise up at once " Talak go rouse the animals of the wood and steam and air. Hunters and Druids of Larthorn rise up and meet this threat. You have my thanks hunter, what was your name?" All this was said by an elvish hunter and the elvish druid (Talak) leaves. The other hunters and druids sound the summons using whistles that sound like birds. Once the force of 10 druids, 26 hunters and 20 rangers have gathered they prepare for battle and ask you for as much information as possible. How do you respond?

"Maybe the strike team shouldn't attack Enzor directly. If we use them for other operations, we could have one man attack Enzor. He can't win, but as long as Enzor is distracted from the battle we can defeat him with superior tactics."
