She was needing a good rest for now and there would be time for celebrations when this day was over and done with. He was willing to rest upon those thoughts in his head. He didn't have the time to rest or enjoy the pleasant company of Songbird cuddled up to him. Takxi was shouting an alarm and he rose up quickly bastard sword in hand and scale mail halfway on.<strong>"What is it Takxi?"</strong>He asked with concern but he didn't have long to find out the answer to such a question. The bounty they had collected was frantic and he perked a brow at this. He could smell it as well, when the Sergeant confirmed the fires were from the gnoll village which was being burned.<br/><br/>First thing he does however is look to the Sergeant and approached.<strong>"Do as Hawk asks."</strong>Darius might get a look from him but he already had rationalized it.<strong>"If the gnoll village burns down whats the point?"</strong>No one would collect a bounty that can no longer be claimed and it was clear that Hawk was not trying to save his own skin. He had plenty of chances to use the anarchy to run away. If he ran this time, it was on him. Hellhound could catch him again if he did run. When it came to this, there was no need to think or hesitate in his eyes.<br/><br/>But then something sent a chill through the nobles heart when he saw what just happened.<strong>"Sergeant they're killing women and children!"</strong>He snapped at him if he stalled on the order Darius gave. However what was most concerning was that Songbird was moving forward to engage the riders that were doing such atrocities. He wouldn't let her face them alone and thus moves forward. He wouldn't keep arguing with the Sergeant. Blade at the ready and armor donned, Darius was ready to lay down his life for these villagers, human or not.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Darius rolls Initiative and gets a 26<br/>At 2021-09-10 13:03:11, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a15 Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155673)
