Sorry, school is being more annoying than ever. I also got a new graphics card which barely fits inside my computer. :D

Roll 3

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

Nathaniel 'Hawk' Hawkins-3-Deciding to assist Bjorn, Hawk walks over to see a team of armored combatants exit a nearby building. They look at Bjorn and start walking toward him, weapons drawn.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Porin Keeperechoes-3+3=6-Staring at the cheese, and pondering what type it is. It looked like pepper jack but he could not help thinking it was cheddar from the sharp smell. He had not had cheese in quite a while. Walking up to a woman ready to enjoy a slice, Porin gives her his biggest, saddest, puppy-eyed 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,"
The lady, who simply couldn't resist the adorably puppy-stare, gives him the cheese.
Cheese get!

New Ability Discovered!

Ivan 'Sir Fiddle' Fiddlebottom-3-While heading back to the intersection and planning to head to the castle, Ivan is pushed aside by a large and armored man. Swiftly jumping away he exclaims,
"Man, what was that for?"
The man and his companions ignore Sir Fiddle and instead head for Bjorn.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Bjorn Inmus-6-Turning his back to the enemy soldiers at precisely the worst moment possible, Bjorn walks off completely unaware. Luckily for him, he remembers that he conjured a bit of water from that last encounter, and decides to release it at precisely the best moment, sending all three soldiers flying backwards and wet.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Taric 'Madman' Cogudib-4-"Hmm, I wonder..."
Taric decides to try and clear the crowd. He does this by waiting for the guards to look away, before cutting a conveniently placed rope, dropping a chandelier onto the ground. Nobody is hit, but shards of glass cover the floor while people run away in total confusion.
"Job done!"
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Tarran Terra-1-Walking up to talk to an angry looking peasant, Tarran begins a greeting before being interrupted by the falling chandelier exploding behind him. He gets nailed in the back of the head with a piece of glass, but his helmet absorbs the impact.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Nihilius 'Cogs' Vekt-5-Just as all this was happening, Cogs opens the door and shouts, "Hey guys!--" Before he is pushed out of the way by the fleeing crowd. Afterwards, he tells the other two about the bandits. Porin also returns, eagerly clutching a slice of delicious-looking cheese.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

'Zrk'-5-"Quite the scene you made."
Bjorn, instead of letting you drag him into an alley, simply walks off towards the castle. At the same time, three armed men attack him. Luckily, he casts a water spell at the same time, and through sheer luck knocked the soldiers back. You grin and draw your hammer, and bring it down on the disabled soldier's head as he struggles to get up. He manages to parry the blow with his iron halberd, and proceeds to roll away.

"Hey, What gives?"

Smack Taric in the back of his head.

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.

"Thanks much, kind lady," Porin said, accepting the cheese gratefully. He took a deep sniff, savoring the scent, then ripped it in half. One half was stored in his bag for later, the first half was devoured instantly as he walked towards the door to find Tarran... but his search was instantly interrupted by both a chandelier breaking and Cogs entering to tell them about bandits. "Is good!" Porin declared, meaning the cheese. "So very, very good..." After a moment he processed what Cogs had said. "Yes, find duke. Raid bandit camp!" There was probably a lot of loot to be had there, in addition to a bounty. Tarran and Taric seemed to be arguing, so he looked at Cogs hopefully. "Know where Duke is?" he asked.

"Unfortunately, Porin, I do not know where the duke is. I do believe, however, that the other two may know." Cogs then walks over to Taric and Tarran, and waits for them to finish. "Gentlemen, am I correct in assuming that one of you knows the way to the duke? If so, lead on."

Roll 4

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

Nathaniel 'Hawk' Hawkins-3-Drawing his revolver, 'Hawk' takes aim at the hammerman--seeing as he is the only one with a shield--and fires. The flying bullet [1] misses and hits [6] the wheel of a carriage, sending the driver and its passengers falling into the mud below.
"Sorry about that! My fault--"
The hammerman gets up and charges at Hawk!
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Porin Keeperechoes-1-Enjoying the cheese, Porin finishes half of the slice before putting the other into his bag. Afterwards, he is interrupted in his search for Tarran by the falling chandelier and Cogs entering at the same time.
Having been eating the cheese instead, Porin asks, confused, "Where to find duke?"
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Ivan 'Sir Fiddle' Fiddlebottom-(5+2=7)-Rushing over to help, Ivan grabs the halberdier's neck and tries to snap it. The soldier resists [5] but is exhausted by his efforts.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Bjorn Inmus-3-"Hey, What gives?"
Bjorn forms a ball of lightning in his hand, and fires it at the two-handed swordsman, who is beginning to run towards Bjorn.
"Zap."
Unexpectedly, the soldier's metal armor conducts the electricity, and simply grounds the current without passing it through his body. Stupid science.
The soldier reaches Bjorn, and swings at him [2], but Bjorn [4] dodges and counter-strikes with his staff, [5] bashing the soldier in the head and knocking him back.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Taric 'Madman' Cogudib-4-Casually walking into the throne room, Taric meets the duke, who is moping about and muttering to himself about what the peasants are up to. Shrugging off the debris and letting the servants clean it up, he actually seems relieved that the peasants are gone. Taric prepares to consult the duke about a quest, but he is subsequently smacked in the head by Tarran, who is not very happy by the looks of it.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Tarran Terra-4-"...THE HELL! TARIC, YOU A-HOLE!"
Tarran stamps over and punches Taric in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

Nihilius 'Cogs' Vekt-2-"Unfortunately, Porin, I do not know where the duke is. I do believe, however, that the other two may know."
Cogs walks over to Tarran and Taric, who seem to be arguing, and then waits.
"Gentlemen, am I correct in assuming that one of you knows the way to the duke? If so, lead on."
Taric gets up, and replies.
"Straight ahead."
Spoiler: Status (click to show/hide)

'Zrk'-4-While Ivan holds him, Zrk rushes over and swings again, [6] bashing the soldier in the skull and jamming the skull through the brain! TKO!

Porin followed his three human allies into the throne room, electing to stay quiet for the moment. He didn't have the best speaking skills, but he could attempt to look cute in the background and sway the duke that way.

While the Two-Handed-swordsman is stunned, conjure rock, charge it, than fire it into the guy, preferably knocking him into a crowd of peasants.

"I'm talking Taric, not you. I don't trust you.

Walk over to the duke, and bow.

"Hello, me lord. We're a band of adventures, as you can tell. We're looking for some employment. Do you happen to have anything that needs blades or firearms?"
