With the shouting, it's hard to get a word in edgewise! Adina is simply drowned out and while the striking redheaded elf goes get some attention, it doesn't seem enough to disperse the knot of men around the tall man. Someone else in the procession is trying to tug Kendra away, only for the irate young woman to shake her arm free.<br/><br/><strong>"Gibs Hephanus, you ignorant old sot!"</strong>She snapped at the tall man, pointing a finger almost into his nose.<strong>"You and the rest of these lowbrow rogues and OOOOWAH!"</strong>it wasn't the tall man - Gibs - who made the move but someone near his side, roughly shoving Kendra down. She sprawls in the mud of the road, looking shocked for a moment.<strong>"Enough of this, get the hell out!"</strong>the assailant bellows.<br/><br/>it is at this point that things break out. The men armed with clubs advance menacingly on the procession, with shouts of<strong>"git!"</strong>and<strong>"Not in our Restlands!"</strong>A few swings are taken, and much of hte procession around all of you seems to fall back... apparently nobody came to the funeral ready for a fight except, conveniently, the four of you.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Results</div><div class="spoiler_body"> It was a DC 20 diplomacy check to disperse the crowd... so close, but... not enough.<br/><br/>Gibs - and about half of the angry townsfolk, in fact -  just sort of step back from the fracas. But there are six men brandishing clubs who seem very intent on getting the funeral the hell out of the cemetery. <br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sense Motive DC 13</div><div class="spoiler_body">Those already swinging clubs don't seem to be aiming at anyone's head; they're apparently intent on chasing the procession out more than actually causing harm. of course their aim isn't exactly perfect...</div></div><br/><br/>Lucia, Maggs, and Adina are currently holding the casket - along with a fourth NPC, helpfully! It will take a full-round action to set the coffin down and free your hands... or you can simply let go and roll percentile <br/>for me  ;D</div></div>
