About goddamn time you got up
I say, turning on her.
How the hell did you sleep through that?

[Powder Miner]

"...I... don't... know."

[dawnstar]

How? How don't you know?
I say, mostly calm
We were attacked! We might have need your help!

[Powder Miner]

"I don't know how I stayed asleep because I was asleep. It probably would have helped to, you know, try to wake me up."

[dawnstar]

Im sorry, have you ever had the honor of going into a blood rage?
I say starting to get angry
It's a bit like sleep, you don't control what you do. But I CAN control if I go in it or out of it. We tried to get you up, but you never got up. Why?

[Powder Miner]

"Let me ask you again: How in the hells am I supposed to know?"

[GiglameshDespair]

Algarius adopted the tone of a young woman to act as peacemaker. The bandit, looking on, was very confused.
"Now, now, my dear companions. We were merely impressed at the depths of your slumber, through screams and the song of steel. Next time, of course, we shall endeavor to wake you, though I fear you need to take a bath to do so."

[flame99]

The party, content with the answers the bandit gives, goes to sleep. The night is silent and calm, for a forest, and little happens to interrupt the moment of respite, save the light thump of the bandit falling over onto the ground while struggling against his bonds. Soon, the sun rises over the foliage, and light filters through the canopy, rousing the party. The sun sits just peeking over the horizon, and nothing seems to be missing. Given that you aren't waking up to the sound of red dragons nor finding your everything has been stolen in the night, it's a fairly good start to a day, given your profession.

[mastahcheese]

Wake up, examine surroundings.

[GiglameshDespair]

Sliding to it's feet, Algarius brushed some leaves off it's concealing cloak. It paused as something occurred to it and turned to the bandit.
"Hold on. If you knew how many of us there were, and that were were trained mercenaries... why did only two of you come? You must have none if anything went wrong we'd outnumber you over 2-to-1. You've left something out. I warned you, brigand."
It began to approach the bandit with a wrathful step. Hands clenched around the hilts of it's new swords.

[Powder Miner]

Catarina watched Algarius, merely watched. She wanted to see what useful information he acquired.

[flame99]

"Hey, I told you everything I know! Remember when I told you that Chief had a few flumphs where his head should be?! There was good reason for that. I dunno if he had some reason for only sending two of us, but he did and I don't get paid to question him."

[Powder Miner]

"I wouldn't take pay to commit suicide."

[flame99]

"If things went as planned, it wouldn't have been suicide. How things were supposed to go is that I would put a knife through the orc's throat, and then Robert and I would be taking out everyone we could in their sleep until someone woke up. At that point, the major threat would be outta commission, and the rest of you wouldn't have been as dangerous, or at least as far as we knew. Frankly, mask-guy, I think I'd prefer going a round with the orc. As fer the rest of you, well, I gotta assume that there's something about ya."

[dawnstar]

Well, he got that last part right.
tell us every thing your chief told us
