"ALRIGHT, NEW HOUSERULE; THE FURRED ORGANIC MAY NOT BE THE ONE TO FIRST DELIVER SUPPLIES IN FUTURE.
ON THREAT OF ATOMIZATION."
Cranky mobile deadly lightpole.
mobile? Says who?
Thrips blinked a couple of times in surprise, then heaved an audible sigh of relief and made his way back to the cart.
He mostly still felt rather on-edge from the whole situation, some of the adrenaline still buzzing through his small frame, but also somewhat pleased with how he handled the situation. Didn't go nearly as bad as he'd expected!
Return to the cart and climb aboard. Leave cranky mobile deadly lightpole for somebody else to deal with.
Accept any praise for saving the day with a demure smile and nod.
No one notices, apparently. Figures.
unceremoniously pick pylon up and drop him in the back of the cart, unless hes heavy.
follow cart to bakery
You lift him up in and walk along between the carts.
Durmokh mutters under his breath.
Ack, I almost wish they'd turned me over to the 'ammerer rather than sending me out with this noisy lightning pole thing. This is just embarrassing.
At least the 'ammer would have been quick. It's big and silver.
The guard holding you laughs and responds, "Oh? a masterwork of Dwarven craft, I'm sure. An honor to be beaten by one, if one can survive the blows. Well, we all have our schist to haul, as they say."
Hehe, yeah. It menaces with spikes and everything. Sadly, the spikes are all on the handle. The smith who made it was more than a little odd.

Bit harsh if you ask me.
Climb back into the cart.
"Yeah. 'Strange moods' and all that. Smiths are all a little odd, you ask me. Well, take care. Good luck."
into the cart you climb.
Harsh? Looks like you are about to find out otherwise.
Get back into the cart. Leave Pylon for somebody younger and stronger to move.
in you go.
Damn paranoid gits this is why I left civilization
Mutter darkly about the guards as I drive the cart to the next stop
Oh .... Oh, you are going to move out onto a busy main street, driving the lead cart, and muttering darkly? And here I was checking everyone's charisma. Looks like I only need to roll once. (2) well, it isn't an automatic death, but your muttering grows into a quite audible howl as you creep out into the main street, and you begin cursing passerrsby as well as the guards. You spook the rhinos, too. (5) Fortunately, you manage to rein them in before they trample anyone. But now you are creating quite a blockage, and people are shouting. The second cart isn't even out into the street yet, and here you are, provoking a riot.
yeah, so guys, the lead cart (with ... will you guys please put your character names in your posts for a little while so I remember them? ... With killer and PYLON in it) is into the traffic of the main road, perpendicular to the flow of traffic, blocking about two thirds of the street, with a 'darkly muttering wolfman' at the reins. Next is Cho-Ja, walking between the carts, and right at the entrance to the side street. In fact, it is a different side street that you are coming out of, having had to navigate around instead of trying to turn around in the carts, if that matters. Anyway, you other three are in the back cart, still stuck in the alley behind the first cart, wondering what the hold up is, and why everyone is shouting.
