This game is all about teamwork and subterfuge, because your enemies will always be more powerful than you. But sometimes it may be in your best interest to stab one another in the back...

Turn 4 - Grand Theft Wagon

Raul reaches into the wagon's pile of assorted crap to find something to stop the wagon with. (...) He pulls out one of the tent poles, and throws it under the wagon! The tent pole catches between the carriage and one of the wagon spokes and the wagon screeches to a halt just in front of a large building, catapulting most of the supplies contained in it (including the occupants) forward toward the structure! Mr. Wiffles wraps himself around the innkeeper just before impact! (ATT) The wagon simply flings the three passengers onto the sidewalk in front of the building however, doing no harm.

(...) Derek heads outside the general store and wrings a rat out like a washcloth. Such is the life of a mage's apprentice. Inside, Caddio haggles with the shopkeep.
(...) "Why yes, I'm on an errand for an adventurer as we speak. By the way, is three shekels really going to cover the cost of a hippogryph paw? I'd hate to have to tell Odysseus Lighthawk, Famed Adventurer and Noble Paladin that the shopkeeper said he didn't send enough money."
"Beat it, ya bum. I don't give handouts." The shopkeep kicks Caddio out of the store!

(...) Bryan sets to work immediately, dumping all the ingredients into a large pot stolen from the kitchen. He produces a vast amount of the most delicious stew imaginable and sets the pot in the center of the adventurers' room.

Outside the inn, the adventurers descend on Azatek. Odysseus draws his sword.
"Who took the cart, Azatek?!"
(...) Azatek flops his arms around over his head. "It was a ghOOOOooooOOOOOooost-"
"I'm warning you Azatek, tell me what you've done or your life is forfeit!"
"It was all a distraction, my cohorts have made off with the cart! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"
"You have crossed me for the LAST TIME, PEASANT!"
Odysseus waves for the others to head off in search of the cart, then charges with his sword! (ATT) (DEF) In one clean swipe, Odysseus lops off Azatek's arm and carves a swathe across his face! He pins Azatek against the wall.
"WHERE DID THE OTHERS GO?! WHERE HAVE YOUR THIEVING FRIENDS TAKEN THE CART?!"

CAREFULLY bring the vial over to my adventurer.

"Missing cart? Don't know about it. I was out gathering... regents." Pause. "Extremely fresh, by the way."

At this point, Raul decides it MAY be best to leave the wagon. And get all the stuff that was flung out to put back into it.

Bryan will defend his cooking against all comers with his bag of shekels until the adventurers arrive to eat some.

It is of excellent quality and will surely boost their morale, chaps! Stop that beast!

Mr Wiffles senses he is possibly in trouble, and starts looking as adorable and innocent as a Dongrel possibly can.

You guys aren't trying to frame Mr. Wiffles, are you?!? :(
Okay, everything bad that's happened so far is at least partially his fault I guess.

Turn 5 - Welcome to the Fold

Azatek struggles to articulate himself while Odysseus holds him against the wall.
(...) "Uh... dog, Mr. Wiffles caused cart to run down road... I tried to stop it, but nearly died... I think... my... companions stopped... it further down... the road... please don't... kill me..."
"Who the hell is Mr. Wiffles?!"
"The doggy... THE DOGGY"
"You're not in your right mind." Odysseus tosses Azatek to the ground. "Clearly it was not you who stole the wagon."
Odysseus runs off with the others.

(...) Suddenly, Derek rolls out of a nearby alleyway and tosses a vial of blood at Ravaatra's head! (ATT) (DEF) Ravaatra catches the vial and, completely out of reflex, flings a bolt of flame back at Derek! (ATT) (DEF) Luckily this seems to be an off night for her, and Derek narrowly avoids being toasted.
"It's... fresh." Derek stumbles over his words, flustered by his near-immolation. He turns around to talk to Odysseus, but he appears to be occupied with Azatek.
"Hmph. Good job, assistant. You have proven yourself worthy of your position... for now." She runs off after the other adventurers. [+2 MP (RAV)]

(...) Raul, meanwhile, hastily tosses anything he can find back into the wagon. Before he can make much progress, he sees the adventurers running down the street toward him and hides in the alleyway by the building! Mr. Wiffles gets off the innkeeper and runs off to do something or other, and the innkeeper sits up and looks around. After a moment he spots the adventurers, stands up and begins waving his arms! He clearly intends to rat out Raul.

Back at the inn, Mr. Wiffles slinks in through the window and gallops across the room toward the tasty stew. (...) Bryan leaps out of the darkness wielding a spoon and cracks the instrument over the Dongrel's head, stunning it! Mr. Wiffles yelps and hops back out the window, defeated.

Caddio heads off down the main street, in search of the alchemical outlet he's heard so much about. He finds it almost immediately, exactly where the shopkeep said it would be! He heads inside and steps up to the counter. It's a densely packed store, covered with various assorted ingredients and reagents and cluttered with racks of potionmaking cookbooks and newsletters. A rather frightening looking old man rises from behind the counter and smiles at Caddio.
"Hello there! What can I get for you?"
"Oh! Uh, I was wondering if you... had any hippogryph paws."
"We sure do! Just 37 shekels each."
"Dammit... Any chance you could mark that down?"
"Nope, these things are in high demand. Pretty powerful reagent. Recently discovered type of healing potion uses it. Sorry, that's the- Caddio?" The shopkeeper's eyes light up.
(...) "Uh... yes? How do you know my name?"
"I heard about you from the network. You're our new arrival, yes?"
"What... are you talking about?"
"The newest arrival to the Avindell necromancer's society! Randall over at the general store mentioned you, said you were performing enforcer duty with one of his customers. You're him right?" The shopkeep narrows his eyes suspiciously.
"I... er, yes! Of course! I'm the new enforcer!"
"Splendid! Welcome to the fold! Randall said you didn't show him the sign." The shopkeep makes a curious sign with his hand. "You need to be careful, we must always show the sign when communicating with each other."
"Uh... right. So, about that hippogryph paw..."
"Oh, yes! Here, take one! It's on the house." The shopkeep hands Caddio a hippogryph paw. "Metting tomorrow at noon, by the way."
