The Legonater Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I want my money back. Exactly what's going on here?
CMP Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Exactly what's going on here? "I mentioned the public being upset with Bastala, I assume things just got...out of hand. It looks like her and her followers in the palace have barricaded themselves in. Seems the rioters are trying to tear it down."
Scorpiox Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 "However we go about it, the riot must stop. Unpopular as Bastala is, if the morons get her then we've no hope of winning over the clan. Last thing these folks'll do if they take over is start making deals with foreign sell-swords."
Masked Builder Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 "No it seems things never do. Elves should not be adding to the unrest here."
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Maybe we should move our way to the front? Hopefully armed warriors will discourage them." Alexandre gets ready with a scowl on his face, looking intimidating.
Waterbrick Down Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 As the party prepares to jump into the fray, a colorful wagon approaches seeming to be manned by circus performers.

CMP Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 "However we go about it, the riot must stop. Unpopular as Bastala is, if the morons get her then we've no hope of winning over the clan. Last thing these folks'll do if they take over is start making deals with foreign sell-swords." "Agreed." "Are there any other ways in?" "None that I know of. We're orcs. We go down fighting, so secret escapes routes are useless." "Maybe we should move our way to the front? Hopefully armed warriors will discourage them." Alexandre gets ready with a scowl on his face, looking intimidating. "Maybe. It'll be tough, but-" Olmstyr was cut off by the bright-colored wagon rolling up to the heroes, blinking as its occupants filed out. He glanced between the newcomers and his own party, comparing their mismatched appearances. "...More heroes, I presume?"
The Legonater Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I don't recognize them, but they probably are. A lot of them look pretty green.
swils Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Thormanil recognizes one of the newcomers and greets her off the wagon, "Cinna! Damn if it ain't been a while."
Vash the Stampede Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) "At this rate it would be more practical just to move the whole of Heroica. So what's the problem over here?" Edited February 28, 2014 by Vash the Stampede
Darkdragon Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Thormanil! It's been much too long. What's going on here? Seems to be a bit of trouble."
swils Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Well, we just came from stopping a raiding party on the bridge, and wouldn't y'know, we walk right into another about-to-get-violent crowd. I really didn't get the impression that Bastala had so little favor among the orcs here."
StickFig Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Matthias continues to hold his silence and wonders what terrible thing is going to happen now?
Masked Builder Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Well hello Cinna, nice to see you here." Alexis smiles.
Scorpiox Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Before we get too friendly - what brings you others here? You were hired by someone else, what have you been tasked to do?"
Darkdragon Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "We have been hired to protect this Circus troupe on their journey. You?"
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Great, we have backup. Hopefully we can find a peaceful solution. What are your names heroes? And why are you here?" Alexandre asks politely.
Scorpiox Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "Unite the orc clans. Sounds as though what you're doing is altogether more simple, but at least we know there won't be any conflict of interest. Right now, we've got to stop this riot - and fast. Got any bright ideas?"
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 "We have been hired to protect this Circus troupe on their journey. You?" "Get all the clan leaders to keep their heads about this Bridge thing."
Purpearljellyblob Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 "Great, we have backup. Hopefully we can find a peaceful solution. What are your names heroes? And why are you here?" Alexandre asks politely. "I'm Purpearl Berthadhiell, what's your name?" Purpearl darts a glance at Grishnod and turns back. "We rescued Grishnod Ironnose from the Fire Nords and escorted him back here... to exchange him for Valentino."
Capt.JohnPaul Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 "My name is Alexandre. Who is Grishnod? And Valentino?"
CMP Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 "We rescued Grishnod Ironnose from the Fire Nords and escorted him back here... to exchange him for Valentino." Olmstyr did a double take, and blinked. "Wait. You have Grishnod here with you?" "My name is Alexandre. Who is Grishnod? And Valentino?" "Grishnod is- was, the leader of Clan Irlaz, until vikings raided the coast and kidnapped him. I thought him dead. Valentino is the High Kingdoms noble who Bastala took hostage and is holding here, as a trophy or something...you're going to have a hard time convincing her to let him go. You're going to have a harder time reconciling things between her and Grishnod...." He broke off as he saw another orc approach from the edge of the crowd. He immediately walked over to Olmstyr, muttering to him in orcish for a few moments. Olmstyr looked back at the heroes as the orc nodded, and left. "That was one of my contacts. Listen up, everyone; it seems one of the head rioters is planning to kill Bastala once they get inside the palace. It seems this assassin is just using the riot as a front to get inside and use the panic to cover the kill. We need to figure out which one it is, and eliminate them. Any suggestions?"
swils Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 "Knock 'em all out and figure it out once they're down?"
