May I request you spoil our statuses next turn? The current way is... kinda ugly.

"Looks like someone's living in luxury."

Find the owner of the castle.

Like so?
Yeah, looks good.

Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Roll 2

Location(s):
RidgeWalled - Castle (Tarran, Taric, Porin, Cogs)
Barakar - Town (Hawk, Bjorn, Zrk, Sir Fiddle)

Nathaniel 'Hawk' Hawkins-1-Hawk, who is currently very confused, stops and tries to figure out what's going on. Four people are off to the castle, Zrk and Sir Fiddle are trying to get hired by a merchant, and Bjorn is on fire.
"Well, I guess we're off to a good start, eh?"
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Porin Keeperechoes-1-"Must find king," Porin whispers to himself. After all, if there's any work to be done here, it's going to come from the big cheese himself.
Cheese...
Porin tries to resist the mention of delicious dairy products.
No, no... Porin must wait. Steal small stuff on way out, fence, make tidy profit. Yes.
When Tarran mentions luxury, Porin looks around and tries to resist the urge to steal something.
"Is good," says Porin. "Money to spare for us, maybe?"
"Probably," Replies Tarran.
Porin struggles to keep up with the other three. On the way, Porin notices an open door to a large dining room, where a large waterfall calms the people eating various types of cheese.
Must... resist...
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Ivan 'Sir Fiddle' Fiddlebottom-1-"Falcon..."
As you draw your hand back to Falcon Punch the merchant, Hawk grabs your hand and stops you.
"I think you mean Hawk. Also, that would be a very bad idea."
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Bjorn Inmus-6-In an effort to drown out the flame, you cast some more fire on yourself! Though the fire did get put out, you kind of needed the oxygen to, well, live...
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Taric 'Madman' Cogudib-3-Taric meets a tall man in a suit. The man dons a monocle and a top hat.
"Hi there. Do you know where we can find the king?"
"Why is there an... axe... on your rifle...?"
"I am a highly trained killing machine. I wish to assist the king in his endeavors to rule the land."
"I see. Well, the king is at the capital--OysterClams--at his palace. The duke lives here. However, we've heard reports of merchants being attacked by an armed military group in the area. Maybe the duke will have a quest for you regarding that"
"Yes, but where may I find him?"
"Straight ahead."
You look forward at the finely decorated path into the courtyard. A tall tower lies in the middle, presumably where the duke lives.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Tarran Terra-6-"Looks like someone's living in luxury."
Overhearing Taric's conversation, Tarran continues onward past the bronze statue, the eyes of which appear to be glowing, by the way. You can see a small glowing filament inside of each. Looks like there's an electrician at the castle as well.
Arriving at the tower, you consult the guard at the door.
"May I see the duke? My party and I wish to be employed for his cause."
"Yes, you may enter. However--"
The gaurd doesn't need to finish. You see a long line of assorted peasants and merchants wishing to speak to the duke. You count about 12 distinct groups in total. Looks like it'll be a long wait, unless you can somehow distract them.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Nihilius 'Cogs' Vekt-5-After climbing the stairwell, you see the chief ranger enjoying a sandwich in the corner.
"Excuse me..."
"Whthhhhat?" Replies the ranger, his mouth still full. He swallows hard and continues,
"Sorry about that. How can I help ya?"
"I am in search of a quest of sorts. Is there any trouble around? I specialize in neutralizing people."
"Now that you mention it, there's a group of bandits in Barakar. The duke's been looking for someone to deal with them. See, we're the only archers here, so they can't really send us out."
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

'Zrk'-5-"Well, my work is done here. I wonder what the others are up to."
You stop at the sight of Bjorn gasping for air... in the middle of the plaza. You then see his burnt clothes, and pull him out of his little bubble of lack-of-oxygen.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Meanwhile...

In an office overlooking the plaza, Vladimir Vladimirovich sits in a leather chair overlooking the shenanigans that Bjorn has gotten himself into.
"Another wizard...third one today."
His assistant stands beside him.
"You know what to do."
"Affirmative, sir. I'll get a squad ready."
The assistant walks out of the room as Vlad opens a book and begins to read.

Porin stared at the cheese. He wondered what kind it is. It looked like pepper jack but smelled like cheddar, a scent so sharp he could almost taste it. Clasping his hands together, he walked towards someone who looked sympathetic to kobolds and gave her his biggest-eyed, saddest, most heart-melting expression. "Please, can have cheese? Porin very hungry, travel many days. No proper food on road. No cheese. Just monsters, bandits. Cyclops, ettin, dragon not taste good. Cheese taste good," he said, pleading his case for all he was worth.

Wait at the back, while idly chatting with a peasant, asking what's going on around here.

Head to the castle, hoping Goblins don't siege us.

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

'Quite the scene you made.'

Pull Bjorn into an alley and get him coherent.
