conversations.value: Dr.Orpheus: The streets you once knew (however brief it may be due to your backstory of not living in this town) are filled with rubble now you emerge from a fortified building you spent the last night in.  Either avoiding a war or if you are full of bloodlust you are reluctantly healing woulds.  Their appears to be no sign of the empire yet at the same time you don't see many of their bodies.  You all know eachothers backstory IC except for parts you want to hide from the others.

conversations.value: drack: Harutakeshi Minatoya, a heavyset cheese merchant wearing a dark cloak that covered him from neck to foot, had avoided the war as best he could, instead selling the last of his cheese supply.  Were he seen fighting it'd draw attention, and attention was one thing he didn't need.  He did however help the healers as he could, fetching water and, more often then not, the wrong herbs.

  She is in a corner, sobbing, and Brightfang nuzzles her cheek.

conversations.value: J-H: Jinjiro 
  
  Jinjiro emerges from the building with quick, confident strides.  He walks down to the nearest intersection, looks down the streets, and then quickly heads to the other intersection near the building and does the same.
  
  Returning to the others, he mentions anything noteworthy he saw, and then crosses his arms and taps his foot impatiently.
   "Well, nothing will happen sitting here. Let's go." 
  
  He steps back outside and makes a standing leap, easily pulling himself up to the roof of the first floor of their building and gaining a better vantage point.

  Jump check  (1d20+31)[ 39 ] 
  That's an 8 or 9 foot jump, plus 8 feet of vertical reach.  He's in good shape; doing a pullup is no problem.

conversations.value: drack: "You really think it's safe to go out there?"   The cheese merchant asks skeptically.   "Last night I saw  fireballs  in the distance, that's never a good sign, let alone hundreds of armed men..." 
   
   Spoiler 
  
  Sweet, the color's on the color table so I don't need to keep looking it up!  Anywho the cheese merchant's been seen doing dangerous stuff without noticing before, he just seems somewhat shocked and tends to avoid it when he notices it.

conversations.value: Jallorn: Hirotaka's quiet voice is nonetheless clear and easy to understand,  Safe is boring anyway.   Stepping out of the shadow of the doorway, he places two fingers in his mouth and unleashes a loud, piercing whistle.  Moments later, it is answered by a squak from the skies, as a griffin, Kosaku, wheels his way down to meet them.

conversations.value: drack: The cheese merchant, looking back and forth for objections nods hesitantly to the samurai's comment, gulping anxiously at the other man's comment at agression.

conversations.value: Vhaidara: You boys are going to get yourselves killed with thinking like that. Help me look for any who might have survived. 
  Kazu floats around the village, checking any bodies for signs of life and using some of her power to heal any she finds.
