Turn 11The wildman feels something thud into the thick cloth on his back. It does no damage.
The Wildman attempts to stab the Thief, who steps backwards and parries the blow.
Astyth strides coolly over to face the Tollman through the broken window, seemingly unconcerned by the combat occurring to her left.
She tilts her head and speaks.
"We are sent by Lord Bleu the Kind.-"
The Wildman pauses for a moment, "What? I serve lord Bleu."
Kyle keeps his blade between the two of them as he says "No! I serve lord Blue!"
"No! I serve lord Blue!" says Kyle with all honesty.
"I don't remember you at the briefing..." says the Wildman, honestly confused.
"What, you think he would honestly hire someone like me publicly?" says the thief shakily, "I was briefed in a dark alley with a bag of coins."
Then Kyle falls to the ground, the weight of his wounds proving to much for him to handle.
Astyth continues to speak.
"His Lordship realised the extreme danger you were in, and was not willing to leave a loyal subject of his to die. So he sent myself and my associates to retrieve you," she makes a vague gesture with her staff, taking in the battle around, "And not a moment too soon, it would seem."
The sea elf raises one angular eyebrow questioningly. "Now, are you going to come with us, or will His Lordship's concern have been wasted?"
The Tollman continues to reload his crossbow.
"How lucky I am that the Bard King has finally sent aid, and at such an oppotune time. Has he also sent the food? What of the horses?"
There is a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Petro tries to make a dramatic entrance but is foiled by door's lock.
Eric moves into place close to Petro.
