Sighing heavily at the recent developments he rose to his feet near the gate on the opposite side of the street from the stables where the party had gathered to make their final purchases before heading out. He had no interest in this woman, and if she wanted to tag along he couldn't see a reason why she shouldn't.  Pay or not, she had connections and rations were cheep, Not that she looked like she'd eat much of them anyway. And seeing his companions in agreement, even if begrudging, boded well that they would work amicably in the future.  But now there was a group of thugs after this woman and he just knew the lady with the pointy stick was going to have something to say about that in a manner that tended to attract the city guard.  So rather than resort to instigating violence immediately he followed Sampson's lead and try to scare them off, or at least make them initiate combat and claim self defense. "This is going to be fun," He laughed to himself.<br/><br/>Mingan drew his sword and giving a shout to clear the few innocent bystanders out of the way and making a path for him to walk towards the band of thugs that were impeding his departure made his way out of the crowed and into the street.<strong>stop troubling and delaying from me going on my job or else I swear I will show you some real magic and you don't want see me to do that!"</strong>said Aberik. "Oh please, don't mind the man in red," Mingan said addressing the gang of thugs, "I would simply love to watch him roast you alive. But I wouldnt mind fileting you myself," giving his sword a little flourish, "And obviously my friend with the ax over there agrees with me.  What say you give it up and run off to those docks."  Mingan flipped a gold piece to the bandit leader. "There now you can all have your own whore, scurry along before someone gets hurt."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Intimidate: At 2012-12-30 00:31:23, Mingan (uid: 37962) rolls: 1d20a4 Result: 23 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=42977)<br/>Initiative: At 2012-12-30 00:28:21, Mingan (uid: 37962) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 14 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=42976)<br/></div></div>
