"HELLO GENTLEMEN. PYLON IS HERE TO DELIVER SUPPLIES FROM OMEGA. DO NOT MIND PYLON'S ESCORT, THEY ARE FROM OMEGA, AFTER ALL."
Defuse situation by speaking very loudly. And sparking.
(2) well, that helped. Not really. I mean, for the most part, the guards are focusing on the frothing wolfman, so it's no big deal. but they seem to ignore your claims. Professionals, waiting on orders, or action.
Wake up in the cart.
Zzz... Soap... Ack! Where am I?
Look to see what equipment I have on/around me.
-snip-
any equipment you possess and would likely carry with you, you have. so ... the cheesemaking stuff? Why not. You and the baker over there could set up shop in this town
Right...
Lay low and be quiet.
I'll allow the double action this time .... (2) unfortunately, your waking ruckus drew attention before you were aware of the situation, and some guards come over to poke some spears int the wagon in your general direction. "Out please." This request applies to everyone still in the carts.
"Oh, oh my, what's that?"
Conveniently become fascinated by some inconsequential item in my vicinity.
Study it with the closest scrutiny, looking deep in thought, pondering its every detail as though whatever-it-is holds the golden keys to the secret meaning of existence. Perhaps it does? One never knows where such metaphysical items may be hidden. I'd best make sure, perhaps this whole situation has been brought about by the Fates purely so that I could have a chance to unlock the invaluable secrets of this seemingly-mundane object.
* Yoink slurps groggily at his first cup of coffee for the day.
Edit: If Varrick manages to make his escape, be sure to follow.
You duck your head, stare intently at your feet, and shuffle quietly off to the side. You end up standing between two guards. one of them hands you his shield so he can better use his spear while calling for the rest of the Omegas to line up for inspection.
Engage defensive tactics but do not make any overly aggressive moves.
Put my geode away and inspect the hunchback from where I stand.
wizard. Looks like a classy one, too. it's eyes are black, it's whiskers long and colorless, it's motions fluid and efficient. It looks into you as you look into it, and you share a moment of clarity. You are outclassed and you both know it.
Leave the bags of silk next to the guy and slowly climb back onto the cart
You slowly, so slowly, lower the silk to the ground, straighten up, wipe your mouth, and turn to leap up into the cart. This action seems to put the guards into motion, and they are shouting all kinds of cliche cop things as they try to drag you to the ground. (rolls of 6 on a stat of -2 kill people around you. and I thought you guys were about to recover from that 1.)
the situationRight now, the guards are reacting pretty aggressively to the wolfman's attempt (varrick? I forgot again.) to get back into the cart. They are essentially dragging people and objects out of the cart and attempting to wrestle you to the ground. The wizard has yet to make a move, and the shopkeeper was trying to find out what was going on, but has retreated to the back of his shop to let the professionals sort it out. Oh, and Thrips has found himself outside the ring of guards, carrying one of their shields, for some reason.
I felt I needed to explain, since it's been a while since a -2 charisma character was the front man, with a group of friendlies, no less.
