"Well then, that's a threat. Why don't you put your knife where your mouth is."

[NRDL]

"I have a sword, you're the one with a knife. As much as I'd enjoy taking your blade from your corpse, we have other things to do."

[Egan_BW]

"That is a good point. I am the one with the knife."

[Devastator]

Jakob pockets the sculpture, planning to sell it. He goes to find a market so he may do so.

Put my knife where Crow's mouth is.

Jakob looks at the onyx sculpture in his hand, and considers trading it for something else.  But what?  It's a treasure, and treasures are valuable, and it is common to trade a treasure for another one found more suitable.  But sell it?  It's a treasure, why trade it for meaningless coins?

Barbarisan, taking offense at King Crow Hammermurderer's request for 'distraction', and standing as no man's distraction, decides to avenge the insult with the universal language of barbarians, force.

However, Crow has an unlikely defender, in the aged Niximos the Defiler.  The argument soon, and perhaps inevitably, comes to blows.

Unlike the guards, Barbarisan knows well that the facade of age and weakness is not true to the heart of the barbarian below it, and approches swiftly and decisively.  The two clash at close range, and in the end Niximos is left dripping from a cut on the arm.

Niximos has taken one wound, and is now at 2/3 HP.

[Egan_BW]

"That went well, I think! Really got to express myself, you know? Now, do you want to get to your 'other things' to do, or more fighting?"

Kick sand in Barbarisan's eyes then headbutt her.

Use 1 cunning Chit.

[Egan_BW]

Simply evade and let him use his chit.

Jakob decides not to sell the idol for now and goes to find his comrades.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

"Planning on sneaking in, Crow? A cowardly action!"


Figure out how the gates are barred, so I can smash the mechanism.

Put my knife where Niximos's mouth is.

some find glory in taking the most damage, wiser warriors know true glory comes from damage inflicted upon others. It would suit my purposes if you cause mayhem, you might prefer to battle a sturdy wooden door, but I seek to smash the palace's fleshy heart

[MidnightJaguar]

why don't you both shut up and fight someone we can actually take some shines from. I'm sure the palace has lots of shinies.

Barbarisan, having won the initial clash of arms, attempts to negotiate an end to the battle.  Niximos the Defiler, however, is not assuaged.  In a move too fast for the eye to see, he takes the powerful woman off-guard.  One moment she is blinded with a blast of sand, and in the next, she is stunned by the impact of a head harder than most, and a curl of blood, red as the setting sun, begins leaking down her face.

Barbarisan has taken a wound, and is at 2/3 hitpoints.

As the two warriors return to their readied stances, they notice that civilians are starting to come out of their houses to watch the two duelists.

King Crow, strong in mind as well as heart, calls attention to the battle, and slips quickly over the unguarded wall.  He drops to the ground over the other side, silent and undetected.  Next, King Crow uses his sharp senses to identify an unguarded window, and slips inside the upper level of the palace.  He enters in an unused bedchamber, well decorated with much dark, rich furniture thick with varnish, and fine artwork on the walls.  There is a closet the size of a stall for a horse, and a carved wooden door with silver fittings.

BARBARBARBAR is not watching the battle.  He is trying to find someone to kill, looking to quench his limitless thirst for battle once again.  Unfortunately, no guards are in evidence, with the wall keeping the barbarian from the inside of the fortress.  His eyes fall again on the gate, and this time he spots a small postern door, for individuals to enter and leave without opening the doors in the cart-sized archway.  There is a viewing slit there, and the warrior espies an observer on the other side.  Swift as a rabbit, his hand reaches out, with his mighty sword.. that clangs upon the view-plate that the coward has managed to close in time, temporarily evading the rage of the barbarian.

With all the townspeople watching the fight, Jakob decides to rob some houses! He tries to find a nice looking house, but not too nice. The kind that belongs to middle class people who have some things worth stealing, but not enough money to hire guards.

[NRDL]

"...We even now?"

[Egan_BW]

"Define 'even'."

[NRDL]

"You've made your point. I responded in kind. There are so many others whose blood deserves to be spilled. I'd like to get to that.
