A number of finely crafted blades and light armors rest upon each of the horses along with food stuffs. None of them seem to have any bows or crossbows. Within the jail wagon itself you see that it was finely crafted as well with a odd lock upon it. You fine about 120 amongst the loot. Rill himself has the best equipment about of all the men. His heavy chain armor, heavy steel shield and longsword are of some unknown properties. But as you reach Rill you see the gnome return with a few words.<br/><br/>Dirk: Well it seems that these people have no idea how to hide the goods from your clever eyes. A few pounds on a board, a tug of some hidden string and bit of luck reveals more promising loot. A small chest of gems and gold coins. A rough estimate of about 300gp, and 7 gems. Before you can cause the loot to "disappear" you find the gnome has returned on the road and starts speaking to you both.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Gorvis</strong>: As you approach the two warriors you see that they are picking through the remains of the band of road warriors. You still unsure as to how they will react to your words. (Bluff and skills no work on PCs)<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Nature Group</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Orchid and Wick:</strong>Both of you easily avoid detection as a man comes crashing into the brush. Wearing light chain armor, a vest of blue with a white broken house upon it and a look of relief mixed with terror he slows himself slightly as if to see weather his pursuer was still coming for the kill.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><br/>Religious Group</strong></span></div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Rissien: -33 Ainton -31</span><br/><br/><strong>Lisa and Ayi'yan:</strong>Ainton curses under his breath as the blow from Ayi'yan collides with his face. Spitting blood from his mouth he turns to Ayi'yan and strikes a defensive stand along with Rissien who joins him at his side. Both look at one another and then return their gaze to you. "Clearly we have slightly underestimated them Ainton." "I agree Rissien. Why should we do with them?" Both seem to exchange a knowing look as they return to face you both.<br/><br/>Combat: Both take defense stances.
