Welcome to the game everyone. I will get a starting post up shortly. Feel free to introduce your characters.

The Swallowtail Festival begins promptly, as scheduled, on the Autumnal Equinox. The square before the church quickly becomes crowded as locals and travelers arrive, and several merchant tents featuring food, clothes, local crafts, and souvenirs are there to meet them.

The turnout for the opening speeches is quite respectable, and the four keynote speakers each deliver short but well-received welcomes to the festival. Mayor  Deverin's friendly attitude and excitement prove contagious as she welcomes visitors to town and jokes about how even Larz Rovanky, the local tanner(and  notorious workaholic) managed to tear himself away from the tannery to attend, much to everyone's amusement (except Larz's). Sheriff Belor Hemlock brings
the crowd down a bit with his dour mood, his reminder to be safe around the evening's bonfire, and his request for a moment of silence to remember those who lost their lives in the fire that claimed the town's previous church several years ago. The next speaker is scheduled to be local nobleman Lonjiku Kaijitsu, but a sudden illness has prevented him from attending the ceremony (this isn't something that surprises the locals, given Lonjiku's well-known dislike of frivolity and festivals). Sandpoint's own showman Cyrdak Drokkus is more than up to the challenge of bringing the crowd's mood back up with his rousing anecdotes. He delivers a not-completely-irreverent recap of the long process the town went through to finance and construct the new cathedral. He throws in a bit of self*
promotion at the end, as is his wont, inviting everyone to stop by the Sandpoint Theater the following evening to check out his new production of "The Harpy's Curse," revealing that the lead role ofAvisera the harpy queen will be played by none other than the famous Magnimarian diva Allishanda! Finally, Father Zantus steps up to give a short speech thanking everyone for coming before declaring the Swallowtail Festival underway.
Gyrfalcon
On the back edges of the crowd, a small, hooded figure watches the opening speeches curiously, head tilting sometimes as they parse the flowery language of Cyrdak, and appreciating the blunt clarity of the Sheriff.

To those nearby, the figure is unremarkable - a halfling or gnome perhaps, bundled against the autumn chill in a green traveler's cloak, the hood pulled low and a scarf around the neck and lower face so that only green eyes can be seen glinting in the hood.

Once the speeches are complete, the little figure bounces a little as the crowd cheers the start of the festivals before losing itself in the swirl of the crowd, keeping a careful eye out to steer clear of the Sheriff as it makes its way towards the food vendors, hoping that some of them might be handing out samples for the festival.

Now that the Swallowtail Festival was underway, George knew it was time to pick a spot to perform and earn a little coin. After finding a spot near the food vendors He began to play a merry festive tune to those that would listen.

Near the front of the crowd a bronze skinned young man in bright red travel attire with a bright orange backpack,covered in blue body tattoos, an unkempt black beard that looks like a lions mane, of slightly above average height with some slight pudge on his figure  cheers loudly before muttering happily to himself  Showoff  upon hearing Cyrdak Drokkus shameless self promotion  But that's showbusiness for you. Wonder if he's hiring for a short gig while I'm in town to visit Shayliss and whatever poor sucker she managed to con into doing her bidding for the day  .

Oberk had been in town for a few days, and had been learning about the festival during that time, so he was sitting with a group of locals with drinks ready for the revelry, his deep booming laughter could be heard at every joke. He was a giant of a dwarf, easily the height of a man, and a belly that gave him  "his balance for being so tall" , as he would put it to anyone who remarked on his height. He wore his chainmail, even in the festival, for he was a warrior first and foremost, and  "ya never know when a giant attack may occur" , which he told everyone as well. Over it, he had his giant dwarven axe, and over that his hexagonal dwarfish-made shield hung on his back, making him look like some gestalt man-turtle-thing.

Drakaina  arrived in town 2 days ago. Nobody really took notice until he met with Mayor Deverin. Rumors got started but were quickly dismissed as it turned out the newcomer was just a relative of some sort. Drakaina has managed to somehow be on good terms with just about everybody he has met so far. A friendly smile and a reassuring presence puts most at ease around him, his looks don't hurt.

Having no idea the swallowtail festival was even a thing, Drakaina cannot help but smile a big smile. Fate must be smiling on him to arrive at a perfect time. A randomly fully armed dwarf nearby mutters something about always being prepare to which Drakaina replies  A rational person can find peace by cultivating indifference to things outside of their control. But, then again...opportunity does not waste time for those unprepared. .

Oberk stops and leans back to regard the new speaker,  "Oh Aye, but do you think I look rational?"  he yells, as he looks to the rest of the table where he then erupts in laughter. He stops as if he forgot something, and looks around, seeking a chair,  "do you have a thirst my friend?"  he says offering the chair  "I am Oberk, Kin-Slayer, this lot is...well, they can introduce themselves! this is prime viewing spot, so they tell me, sit and enjoy!"

The thin, dark-haired halfling watches the festivities with a calm smile on his face as he sits in the shade of a nearby alley. He makes no effort to hide, but is so quiet, still, and nondescript that it's likely very few of the revelers have spent more than a moment thinking about him. "  It's nice - fun,  " he says to himself as he makes mental note of the townsfolk (especially the various speakers) and interesting travelers from out of town.

Raam has spent most of the last several evenings quietly walking the streets, getting familiar with Sandpoint's streets and alleys. He introduced himself to the town watch immediately upon his arrival, quietly explaining that he was traveling and meant no trouble. So far they seemed accepting of that, and he made it a point to be visible, if you looked for him.

"  Funny - wonder what that one is hiding,  " Raam says as he notes the small, hooded figure in the back of the crowd. "  We've got the big loud one, the musician, a tattooed man...odd crowd...  " With a shrug the halfling begins to walk, deceptively quickly, weaving between people and making his way towards the table with the dwarf as he kept his head swiveling around to keep the other interesting characters in view.

WugWug the goblin has just got into Sandpoint.  He has heard that there are these things called "libraries" in some towns, and he is fascinated by the idea of all the words that he can plunder over and over.   "I can has words...steal words from books...and no one is the wiser!  The words don't disappear, so no one knows WugWug theft!  Words make me stronger...yes...need MORE books."  he mutters to himself quietly as he watches the festivities.  He plans to look for someone who seems to have many books, and then ask that person about libraries.  For now though, he is on his best behavior as there is always a watchful guard around, and the guards seem not to trust him for some reason.

 *gurgle gurgle*   It appears that WugWug is also hungry.  He knows that longshanks like specific shinies like copper, silver, and gold.   "Longshanks want...munny.  Yes yes.  Munny.  Exchange for...food!"   He walks towards the food vendors, and notices a wonderful tune being played by a human man.  It is quite enjoyable, and the goblin bobs and his head up and down to the beat of the song.

 "2 iguanas onna stick!  Uhh...please?"  says WugWug to the food vendor.
Gyrfalcon
The cloaked figure finds its way to the food vendors, standing near the young man who’s lively tune swirls over the crowd, adding to the festive atmosphere.  ”Your music is good-pleasant, minstral.”  they say, the tone feminine and with a gnomish accent to their Common, though their manner of speaking is still a bit strange.

After listening for a few more minutes, she moves on, noting the strange halfling that had haunted the town these last few days. He hid in plain sight, that one did. Present but not intrusive. The two had played a game of hide-and-catch these last few days, catching glimpses of each other as they moved about town, but never managing to get close enough to touch. She was glad that her sleeping spot had remained unfound (a cozy spot under the stables where hay stolen from the loft above made a pleasant nest, and rats were plentiful enough), and their game had been diverting.

Drifting towards the smells of good food cooking, she found herself by happenstance next to an oddity – a goblin of all things, walking around in the open! How bold, how interesting. There was a guard nearby, of course, but his attention was diverted by the festival, and only half an eye was kept on the goblin. On hearing his order, the gnome(?) felt compelled to speak.  ”The tall ones do not enjoy crunchy-scaly things like iguana. Order chicken, taste-texture are similar.”  she advises, eyeing the chicken skewers herself.
razorfloss
Sorin leaves the crowd with a smile on his face humming a tune to while before pausing upon seeing a lone goblin in a red cloak.  What in Desnas name is a goblin doing here  The smile leaves his face as he prepares to intervene if necessary to stop said goblin from causing any harm.
DarkOne-Rob
Raam stops to watch the goblin...wizard(?)...in the stereotypical pointed hat approach a food vendor. "   Didn't expect to see a goblin here...but he seems to be behaving, so that's good,   " he mutters, a bit quietly. As the small cloaked figure speaks to the goblin, advising the big-eared spellcaster to try the chicken Raam smirks a bit. He shakes his head and looks around again, noting one of the louder humans approaching. With a deep breath the halfling steps to the side and a bit more out of the way before watching if things are about to get ugly or not.
Frosty
The goblin in the pointy hat and robe notices a figure similarly sized to him.  That gnomish accent...sounded a little bit off.  WugWug represses the ingrained thoughts that gnomes taste good, and replies in gnomish, " They no have iguana?  They savages!  Well, me try chicken then." 

To the food vendor, WugWug says (in half-broken common),  "Eh...if no iguana, then...two chicken skewer!  Yes yes.  WugWug try longshank food!" 

WugWug does not yet notice the other longshanks that are hovering nearby, as he is preoccupied with filling his stomach.  They are not bothering him, after all.
ngilop
Drakaina nods in greeting  to Oberk  "well met, I am Drakaina.. and you look less rational than you look like a turtle."  The table erupts in laughter again as the man's joke lands solidly. He smiles in thanks at the offered chair  "I am a bit thirsty now that you mention it."  He begins to sit down when somebody mentions a goblin his eye go wide at the sight of the little guy, not because of the whole being a goblin thing.. but more the absolute comical look of the wizard with the big robe and massive pointy hat, straight out of a child's imagination. Something about that strikes Drakaina as deeply humorous and for the next few moments he start laughing from his belly, with tears coming to his eyes.

Drakaina stands up after his laughing spell, and goes over to the Goblin  "Name is Drakaina, pleasure to meet you."  He extends a hand out in greeting. He looks to the vendor and says  " Ya know, if you do have any lizard tail.. i'd try one too. If it is similar to chicken... can't be all bad, right?" 
DarkOne-Rob
Raam's right eyebrow raises as the goblin calls the locals savages, the irony not lost on the little man. When the soldier approaches the loud dwarf, Raam looks over there briefly before returning his attention to the goblin and company. The loud laughter doesn't distract the halfling, but he goes completely still when the newcomer approaches the pair of small people at the food vendor. Raam watches carefully for signs of combat, his body wound tight to spring, just in case.
Gyrfalcon
The cloaked gnome(?) replies back in gnomish, her accent far more polished - perhaps a result of an academic education.  [Gnomish]"Yes-yes, the 'longshanks'  lack the refined-cultured palate to enjoy the crunchy texture of a fresh-hot roasted iguana." 

Becoming aware of the growing interest in the goblin, she slowly begins drifting to the side to minimize attention as two of the humans begin confronting the goblin directly, one hostile and one friendly - even to the point of being willing to try an iguana!
Frosty
 [Gnomish]"Mebbe WugWug teach these longshanks something about propah food someday."

As the charismatic (but ugly, at least from WugWug's point of view) man approaches WugWug, the goblin stashes a book into his pack on instinct, as if protecting a prized possession.   "What you want, longshanks?"  he asks with some suspicion.

As Drakaina offers a friendly hand and appears to be willing to try lizard, WugWug relaxes a little bit.  Just a bit.  As short as he is compared to Drakaina, the goblin offers his walking stick to be shaked.   "Me WugWug.  Me here buy food.  Me has...munny.  See?"   The goblin produces a silver.
BelGareth
Oberk lets out a hoot and a howl at Drakaina joke, with a giant grin on his large face, he watched as the newcomer abruptly left after joining them, and was about to ignore him, but then the mention of  food  rose the hunger in his belly to a sudden and clear unbearable ache; he was hungry.

Standing up, he joined Drakaina at the food stall where a  Goblin  was trying to buy some iguana or chicken, knowing goblins it was probably both somehow? He wasn't a huge fan of goblins....and well, he had a hard time not regarding the little tike with a raised eyebrow and a stern look, he had seen too many of it's kind murder, plunder and pillage, they may look like little children, and act like them sometimes, but they were just as deadly as the blade on his back.

 "What do we ave here!"  he bellowed  "I'll have some chicken as well, Iguana isn't great this time of year, I hear all the ones they catch by the harbor are stringy and sick anyways!"

Raam groans silently as he sees more people gather around the goblin, especially the large dwarf. When it appears that they are all going to get along he sighs in relief, but doesn't stop watching. If he was hungry, it's been completely forgotten in the tense moment as everyone seems to stare each other down.
razorfloss
Seeing as the goblin has coin to afford his meal and the older dwarf hasn't drawn weapons yet and even started laughing Sorin breathes a sigh of relief lowering his guard but not drooping it entirely.   Well the goblin seems okay but ill be watching them  
paradox26
A sharp retort, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun's setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman's scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream rises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises high-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices.

Wugwug instantly recognises the song as being in the goblin voice, though sung in Common tongue to frighten the villagers. A goblin war song, in fact. It goes:

Goblins chew and goblins bite,
Goblins cut and goblins fight.
Stab the dog and cut the horse,
Goblins eat and take by force.

Goblins race and goblins jump,
Goblins slash and goblins bump.
Burn the skin and mash the head,
Goblins here and you be dead!

Chase the baby, catch the pup,
Bonk the head to shut it up.
Bones be cracked and flesh be stewed,
We be goblins, you be food!

It appears the goblin singers are warchanters, who act as bards for the goblins in the tribe.

Three goblins leap out at the group, though they are startled to see a goblin they don't recognise among the party's number. Not knowing Wugwug, the goblins attack them as well. There are about thirty goblins invading the town from three different directions, but the three attacking you, which include the one who cut the dog's throat, are the main threat right now.

The goblin is just as surprised as everyone else that there is a sudden attack!  He shouts in anger back at the other goblins [in Common],  "YOU SCREW EVERYTHING UP.  NOW HOW WUGWUG FIND LIBRARY?" 

With that, WugWug intones a simple cantrip towards the closest goblin, trying to Daze that goblin.

(Daze will save DC13 to the closest goblin)

Everyone is quick to react, beating the dull goblins to the punch. But the party is shaken enough that Raam is the only one to actually hit with an attack, killing one of the goblins. The other two enemy goblins start to move towards Raam, as the greatest threat. One of the goblins stops, dazed from the spell, and the other, while attacking well, is easily deflected.

Seeing one of the goblins become lost in a magical daze, Zeratuu darts towards it to capitalize on its inattention, her hood falling back with her movements to reveal a remarkably draconic-looking head, even for a kobold. Her jaws are built up larger then most kobolds, and full of gleaming white teeth which she promptly tries to bury in the goblin's neck as her kukri's dart for weak points.

 
 Spoiler: OOC 
Going to lay out two scenarios, hopefully this falls into one or the other.

Zeratuu goes for the dazed goblin.

Scenario 1 - 5' step and full attack

If the goblin is close enough to reach with a 5' step, Zeratuu does so and launches a full attack.

  Attack Roll MH  - (1d20+3)[ 23 ]  +  1  (Bardic Inspiration) +  2  (if flanking with someone else) =  24 (26)  + Crit Confirmation  20 (22)

While holding his breathe he glances about taking a moment to make sure that the goblin he is targeting is not the same one his demonic eagle is behind before unleashing a deafening lions roar. His demonic eagle on the hand attacks the poor goblin its behind by attempting to claw out its eyes with its talons and attempting to bite at its face. After attacking it screeches and disappears in flash of demonic flame.

The last two goblins fall down dead under the onslaught. But then you see four caster goblins chanting to the southern part of the town square. Seeing their companions falling, they intensify their chanting to try to get the other goblins in the area to come to their aid, while benefiting from their bardic powers.

Zeratuu huffs for breath as the initial fighting dies down, though the goblin 'singers' (to use the term very loosely) are obviously trying to organize their kin.  "If we rip-tear their throats out, other goblins fight less good-well?"  she asks dubiously, keeping a wary eye on the others now that she is revealed as another 'monster'. So far the threat of the goblin attack seems to be keeping everyone focused, at least.

 Spoiler: Mechanics 
I'm assuming that Raam is now close enough to enter melee and move to flank the remaining goblin chanters. If that is a bad assumption, he'd move closer and take another shot with his shortbow first. (In order of priorities - move to flank and melee attack, or if that is not possible continue to creep closer until that becomes an option.)

Move action to get to a position to flank a goblin chanter, preferably without incurring an AoO. As he moves he will drop his shortbow (again) and draw his short sword.

Standard action to attack (assumes flanking):  (1d20+8)[ 23 ]  to hit,   (1d20+8)[ 24 ]  (19-20/x2) ,  (1d4+1)[ 3 ]  piercing damage,   (1d4+1)[ 2 ]  critical strike damage ,  (1d6)[ 4 ]  sneak attack damage.

"  Move away from the rider so I can get a good shot!  " calls Raam, suddenly raising his voice so the other PCs hear him. He then waits a moment (but not too long) before firing at the goblin rider again.

 
 Spoiler: Mechanics 
Raam will move to stay 15 feet away and fire his shortbow, preferring to fire after any of his allies leave melee with the goblin leader. With an earlier position in the initiative order Raam gets Sneak Attack this round too.

Shortbow:  (1d20+6)[ 11 ]  to hit,  (1d20+6)[ 11 ]  (20/x3),  (1d4+1)[ 4 ]  piercing damage, [roll4]2d4+2[/roll] critical hit damage,  (1d6)[ 5 ]  Sneak Attack damage.
 

 @Other PCs - please attack from melee and get away from the rider so Raam doesn't have to deal with firing into melee. He doesn't have  Precise Shot , so for a better chance to hit it will help if the goblin rider isn't in melee when he fires.

@ Paradox26 , Raam will  not  give up the chance at Sneak Attack damage to wait for all the PCs to leave melee. If given the choice to take the -4 penalty to hit but still getting Sneak Attack dice or not taking the penalty to hit he will take the penalty to hit.

Edit: Probably won't matter, cause an 11 is unlikely to hit...

The goblin commando and his mount are dangerous opponents indeed, and they manage to avoid taking any damage at all. The goblin moves once again to attack the human noble, where the lesser goblins had been attacking him before. He launches an attack, but misses causing any real damage, only causing a minor scratch to the man's arm.

"   It's now or never...Inheritor guide me!   " mutters Raam as he drops his bow again and draws his short sword. Then he steps to melee and attacks the goblin on its mount, as best he can (flanking if possible).

The kobold had let her erstwhile allies attack first, using the scrum to move into position. Now as the goblin focused on the weak-soft human cowering behind a barrel, she appeared on the opposite side of the halfling. Unlike him, she focused on the goblin’s mount, seeking to bring it down.

The goblin commando and its mount both fall beneath the party's blades. The fight for now seems to have faded, and the nobleman climbs out from behing the barrel.  "Thank you so much, my dear friends,"  says the man, who you have never met before.
DarkOne-Rob
Raam looks down at the blood on his blade and with a grimace wipes it off before sheathing his short sword. With a reserved nod of his head Raam introduces himself, saying, "  You can call me Raam, sir. Here, let me help you get up and to safety...  " Then the little halfling does his best to give the much bigger man aid as he leads him back to the town square.
Gyrfalcon
With the fighting dying down, Zeratuu withdraws a step from the other fighters, cleaning and sheathing her blades as she notices them lowering their guards (and weapons). A covert lick of the blood on her hands confirms that the goblins and the leader’s mount are not-food. Hopefully the food stand was still intact and she could raid it for a meal.

The halfling is the first to aid the human, who rather comically treats them (even the kobold and goblin) as old friends, a state of things that perplex the kobold. She doesn’t bother offering him support. At under 3’ tall and light enough that most humans could pick her up in one hand, she wasn’t well-suited to such a task.

Instead, she busily starts searching the dead, looking for anything valuable they might have on them - perhaps they had started looting before fighting?

After all, to the victors go the spoils…

Drakaina slightly bows  welcome.. though others are more deserving of any thanks as I mostly either laughed manically or stabbed at the air in a most deadly, but ineffective manner  He adds the last couple words with a chuckle.
razorfloss
Sorin Smirks and bows with a flourish   You are welcome good sir. May I ask the name of my newest friend one can never have enough friends.  As he says this begins to help the kobold loot the bodies for anything valuable. As he does so he asks   For someone that was just attacked by goblins you seem mighty comfortable with one right here  and he keeps an eye on the seemingly friendly goblin for any signs of a threat just in case.
Frosty
The goblin holding the huge tome in his hands brushes his robes as it got dusty.   "WugWug happy to save longshanks.  These other gobbies stupid.  Not nice.  Me not want to kill longshanks.  Me only want to visit libraries and get books!" 
samduke
 Well met, you may call me George. It seems these goblins were after this fellow for some reason 
paradox26
The nobleman stands, with some assistance.  "But of course. Forgive me for my rudeness. I am a little shaken up. My name is Aldern Foxglove. It is a pleasure to meet you all, as strange a band as you are,"  he says, making a slight bow, and studying the goblin and kobold in the group with some curiosity and a little wariness.

Those searching the goblin bodies discover that each of them carried a dogslicer as a weapon. The goblin commando also wore studded leather armour, though it is small in size. He also carried a  potion of cure moderate wounds, a masterwork horsechopper, and a shortbow with 20 arrows.
DarkOne-Rob
Raam looks about. "  Band? Um... maybe?   " he says unconfidently. Then with a shrug he nods and encourages the nobleman to follow him back to the town square. "  Come on, Mr. Foxglove. Let's get you to the priest to look at your wounds...  "
Gyrfalcon
Zeratuu collects the goblin leader's shortbow and arrows for herself. The potion she holds up to get everyone's attention, then after a moment of thought gives it to the halfing.  "Keep for someone bad-hurt, yes? You are also fast-sneaky, can bring to hurt person if needed."  she says. As for the masterwork weapon, she appraises it critically.  "Is better-well crafted then most. Neo-classical horsechopper design. If find weapons collector-hoarder, worth more then iron-scrap at smith."

Sorin smiles  Nice to meet Aldorn. The names Sorin.  Upon hearing the name sorin trys to remember if the name sounds familiar while doing this he continues talking   but I wouldn't call us a band we just met after all. We just did what any  person with the means would have done.   He quickly glances at the goblin  Why I'm sure even those who aren't traditionally qualified would have pitched in if it lasted long enough.

 "Eh?  We not band.  Not maker of musik!  Unless..."  The goblin looks at Sorin.   "...unless you be wantin t' hear WugWug try sing goblin chant?" 

To the nobleman, WugWug goes,  "Longshank FoxMitts.  You be needing healing?  WugWug can provide some." 
paradox26
Aldern smiles beatifically at his saviours.  "Actually, it is Lord Foxglove, or Your Lordship. But that is neither here nor there. I think they may have recognised me, but I suspect they were attacking everyone they met,"  he says.

He then reaches down to Wugwug and pats them on the shoulder gently.  "Thank you, my little friend. I am not injured." 

He follows the group of his rescuers towards the town square.
ngilop
Drakaina furrows his brow at WugWug then chuckles before speaking  "Friend, I think I speak for everybody when I say we have heard enough goblin songs to last for a while." 
Gyrfalcon
The kobold sticks with the group - with the townspeople on high alert from the battle and her presence so thoroughly outed, a group who so far has shown good-will was valuable to ingratiate herself with.

 "This one is called Zeratuu. And not a singing-band, Lord Foxglove thought-expected that this war-band or adventurer-band." 
razorfloss
Sorin smiles  No my new goblin friend keep singing just stand in front while you do so so the townfolk can hear of our victory and rejoice 
DarkOne-Rob
Raam gulps audibly as he silently wonders what he's gotten himself into. However, he knows better than to ignore a nobleman, so he continues to lead the Lord back to the town square as he glances about at the other warriors in their little...band...

The goblin seems to be unusual for his kind, but a helpful wizard is not something to scoff at. The kobold's species explains much of their cat-and-mouse game of the last several days. The others all seem more or less normal, if not exactly friendly. "  We should be ready to defend...WugWug here. Just in case the townsfolk assume he was part of the attack,  " he suggests to the others as they walk.

Sorin scoffs   Nonsense. They will be able to clearly see Wug Wug for the hero he is. He's even wearing clothes that others of his kind wouldn't be caught dead in. Us blocking him would only hurt his glorious entrance to the adoring public. I'm sure that nothing will go wrong especially with lord Foxglove to advocate for us.  
paradox26
Lord Foxglove looks a little startled, but cheerfully says,  "Why, yes. Of course. I will advocate for my little friends here. You are all heroes, and should be rewarded. I am bit sure if rewards will be forthcoming, as the attack probably destroyed any semblance of order and generosity, but I will assuredly speak up for you, if you think it will help at all." 
samduke
 Well then Mr. Foxglove, where we recued you, maybe your pockets will be a bit more generous. Even if the others are not so much. 

looking to the others

 
I would suggest we get to the bottom of this attack soon however.

Sorin gasp and puts his right hand on his chest scandalized as if the mere suggestion offends his sensibilities SIR!! We just met the man and honor demands we get him safety first. Stop trying to extort the man until he's safe first for Lissalas sake.  Sorin sighs dramatically  Did no one ever teach you proper travel etiquette? 
DarkOne-Rob
Raam shakes his head and rolls his eyes from the front of the group, happy his expression isn't visible to the strange party behind him. "  No one is going to extort anyone - come along, your Lordship,  " he says without turning his head as he leads the man towards the town center where it all began.
ngilop
Drakaina goes rigid as the blunt request for payment is made and shakes his head disappointingly  "I'll catch up with you in a short while, i am going to return this knife first." 
paradox26
Lord Foxglove blushes, then replies,  "I will of course recompense you for saving me, though I don't have money on me right now. Come and see me later and I will give you fifty gold pieces each for your noble deeds." 
DarkOne-Rob
Raam tries to hide his gasp of surprise at the not-insignificant value of coin being offered. With a renewed and more genuine smile he continues to lead the way to the main square, a bit more hopeful that good will come from this day than a moment before.
samduke
George begins to play a merry tune, while walking with Lord Foxglove
Gyrfalcon
The kobold's reptilian eyes widen and narrow at the surprising generosity of the nobleman. 50 gold was not an insignificant amount, much less 50 gold per person. Combined with his patronage perhaps making the town willing to tolerate the little reptile, and she could practically taste the cooked food, far better than the squeak-squeak pests drawn to the stables that she had been subsisting on.

 "This one is called Zeratuu, most generous-kind Master."  she says, scurrying to keep up with the tallfolk, humming to the singer's jaunty tune as she admires the burning fires and goblin corpses on the streets.
