Stepmaway from the fighting and go to the captain
"So, what happened that we are being suspected of murder? So far we've just had a run i with those scavengers. Perhaps those of us among our group who are more stable and less prone ti infighting can help find who could committed these murders and clear our names?"
"I'm beginning to suspect that it was less a deliberate act of hostility, and more a random, insane act of madness. ... That's not an improvement for your case, by the way."
[hidden] "Oh, you set our greeting party on fire. From the reports, they had engaged in combat with a band of those goblinoids while coming out to investigate you. The army was mobilized because you are deemed both hostile and a potential threat to the safety and well-being of the citizens of our city. Looks like you are more a danger to yourselves. And innocent bystanders. Frankly, I'd like this resolved as soon as possible, to get you as far away from our home as possible. So, what is it you are doing here anyway?"
"Attack the groin! Sweep the leg!"
Instruct them how to fight dirty.
Well, only one of them has a groin or legs. looks like we'll be putting you in team Rex for the moment.
Crush harder, damnit. Keep bending the arm with my limbs while a single tentacle tries to rip his necklace off.
(6) well, you pull the necklace off him. Good news for you: his fur is no longer spiky little daggers of hardened, shiny material. Bad news for you: the effects transfer to your octoskin. Really bad news for you: you've convinced me that diamond is not super strong against blunt force trauma.
You're still trying hmm? I admire your persistence, so more for your sake I'll try to end this quickly.
Quickly slam the octopus into the ground and squeeze, not hard enough to kill, but hard enough to end this rather pointless squabbling.
This attack autosucceeds because it's really hard to miss the ground, and it's really hard to miss a target that is literally wrapped around your fist. (4) animal rage does not kick in here, and you execute a cold, calculated slam.
constitution roll for Rex: (5) All that blunt force trauma renders you unconscious. the necklace renders you immobile. You live to be a pain in the ass for another day.
Dex roll for Kongor: (6) you yank the Octopus off your arms. He takes a bit of fur with him, but you take a bit of tentacle with you. So now Rex is down to 5 1/2 tentacles, + 1 rogue tentacle. I also learned today that octotentacles can regrow, so, lucky Rex.
Kongor then marches quietly across the area, through the ranks of the Army, who part ways to let him pass, and up to one of the waiting armored carriages, chucks Rex inside, closes the door, nods to the guard, and walks back to the group.
Consider setting them on fire. Don't set them on fire yet, I think the brands mean I shouldn't set them on fire. But fire is, well, fire.
Charisma roll for Kongor: (5) you recognize Kongor as a Person, rather than as an Animal.
Alright. we done? Shall I transport you to The City and your trial?
