Izbahn feels a sense of both relief and disappointment at the latest turn of events. Her father? I have a bad feeling about this...I hope he will listen to reason. Knowing hiding his activities would be net to impossible, he reaches down to pick up his club, still shedding the magical glow, and turns to wait for Shayliss's father, trying to shield Shayliss as best he can.
Naomi is going to kill me when she finds out about this!
Heh.
Venmirl gets a bad feeling.
Algar nods in agreement, while sipping from the tankard. Seems to be. Goblin might be a pet but who knows, in this world exist alot weird things and people. and finishes tankard with one gulp.
Raising and squeezing Jargies shoulder, he notes Well, I suppose I will continue now. Need to pay at least my respect in church and see how it is. Might as well take a look at these "heroes". Butchering and other stuff... I have nothing to do with them or care so much. None of the workers were close to me, but might anyway take a round in Glasswork..
Walking towards the door and waving hand, Algar steps outside and breaths heavily. Burbing from the alcohol and stretching in warm light, Algar begin his walking towards new catedral, but due to some whim changes his course towards townhall.
It's unclear why Shayliss' father was going to the basement but when he sees the shining light from Izbahn's club and, more importantly, his daughter fumbling with her clothes behind the wizard, he heads strait for the pair with fury in his eyes. The man is easily in his fifties, with almost all his hair having turned white. However, he's clearly still strong and vigorous. "What in the 9 Hells do you think you're doing with my daughter?" He calls out loudly. Izbahn can't help but notice that the man's big meaty hands have curled themselves into fists.
Izbahn thinks wryly, It probably was safer fighting that quasit, not to mention those goblins, before turning his attention to Shayliss's father. Stowing his club on his belt, he says in a hopefully calming voice,"Ahh, yes Mr. Vinder, your daughter Shayliss informed me that you had a rat infestation in your basement. I was concerned about the presence of more goblins hiding out in town, so I volunteered to check it out to be sure everything was safe. Apparently, there were no rats here and Shayliss wanted to see me alone for some reason. Rest assured, I had no intention of taking advantage of your daughter's innocence, and I do feel badly about this. I think she was taken in by my charms. If there is anything I can do to make restitution, just name it."
After that little speech, he wonders how hard Naomi will laugh at him for this, and prays that laughing is all she will do to him.

Suddenly, out of the shadows bolts a tiny goblin, his face covered by a dirty headscarf. "I'S AN ENCHANTERESS! I RELEASE MY SPELL!" he screams, charging upstairs, out of the building...
"Taken in by your charms? You got some nerve, boy!" The shopkeeper seems about to come forward and grab Izbahn when Darst jumps out of hiding and yells out. Before any of you can really react to this, he's up the stairs and out of the basement. The Vinder patriarch seems a bit confused by this turn of event. "By the Gods, what was that about?"
Izbahn is shocked by the appearance of Darst, and his subsequent appearance. He thinks, Maybe, the gods are favoring me today, I hope. He turns to follow Darst, taking advantage of the state of confusion, and says hurriedly, "I had better see where he went, he is supposed to be accompanied by one of us at all times!" He conveniently forgets Venmirl is already waiting up there for him.
If not prevented, Izbahn will exit the basement and head outside, looking for Darst, and calling his name out, assuming he does not see Darst (most likely)

Darst doesn't reveal himself until he's sure he's in the clear.
"I had better see where he went, he is supposed to be accompanied by one of us at all times!"
After seeing the angry man head towards his friend, Venmirl is about to interject some sort of reason for Izbahn being innocent when Darst runs out of the room and through his legs. As soon as he sees Izbahn running his way he tuns and joins the herd.
I blame Izbahn.[/ooc]
...no, wait, I still not get it...
...no, wait, I still not get it...
...no, wait, I still not get it...
Taking advantage of the state of confusion, Izbahn runs pass Daddy Vinder and heads outside, followed closely by Venmirl. The older man also pursues, perhaps just for show. Once outside, he stops pursuing our two 'heroes', shakes his fist and yells out after them. "That's right! Run, you pervert! Cowards! I don't want to see you near my shop or my daughters ever again!"
Algar
The half-orc exits the tavern and head north along Main street toward the town hall. He hasn't gone very far when he sees a most unusual scene. A goblin, with his head covered with a dirty scarf, runs out of the Vinder's General Store and quickly disappears into a nearby alley. A few seconds later a pair of human also run out of the shop, quickly followed by the old shopkeeper Ven Vinder who yells out after them*. One of the humans is a Shoanti, as clearly shown by his shaved scalp and his tattooed skin, while the other is a young man who has the build and mannerisms of a Chelaxian noble, with rugged features, and long reddish blonde hair which he keeps tied back in a ponytail**.
*see above for what he yells out.
**totally stolen from Izbahn's profile (with no shame)
Darst sits at the bottom of the dumpster. After about ten seconds he gets bored and starts humming to himself. "Goblins chew an' goblins bite, du du du du doo doo doo..."
Izbahn wonders at the whimsy of the gods, as he had not even seen that girl Shayliss before today. He had a feeling it would be a long time before he would forget her. Hey, your daughter threw herself at me! Well, no harm done, I suppose. I wonder where Darst disappeared to?
He sees A burly half orc staring at him and Venmirl, and wonders if he knew the Vinders. Wait, he may have seen where Darst went to.
"Excuse me, sir, did you see a goblin just run past here?"
Algar walks and soon notices the commotion. Amused by the scene, he watch how the old man Venmirl is running after some of the people and yelling after them.
Soon, the Chelaxian looking man, Hm... apparently a noble, tsk as Algar looks at him more closely, approaches Algar and asks him
"Excuse me, sir, did you see a goblin just run past here?"
Algar looks at the man for a while and his other companion, a Shoanti and smiles Ah, yes. The one little fellow you mean? Disappeared to that alley, but I must say, he was quite fast one
Shrugging and then laughing to himself, Algar continues Now that I see it myself, Jargies did not really lie. I guess that you, that other fellow there... and your small companion are the local heroes at this moment? as he tilts his head little bit

"Yes, you could say we are the local deputies, due to our service to Sandpoint." Looking back to the Vinder General Store, he continues with a nervous laugh, "Of course, sometimes being a heroes does have its disadvantages."

Out of the dumpster rockets the goblin. Darst runs over to Izbahn. "Izzy!" he says angrily through the hat. "I saw you!" He adjusts his scarf so it's back where it belongs. "I thought you liked Sunhair!"

Izbahn flushes at the thought of seeing Naomi again, although he still was not sure why yet. For some reason the thought of seeing Naomi again both excited and terrified him. Oh boy, can this day get any worse?
”Look, Darst, I certainly was not expecting Shayliss to throw herself at me like she was some harlot! By the Hells, I had never seen her before today!*” His voice starts to rise, ”Hell, you heard her, she said there were rats in her basement. The only rat I saw in there was her! Feel free to explain what you saw to Naomi, I am sure she will believe you!” He then turns to walk away, not sure where he is going, but needing to be by himself for now.

"And is you stop her?" Darst demands. "I's saw two people mashing mouths, not one."
"And is you stop her?" Darst demands. "I's saw two people mashing mouths, not one."
"It's a little bit more complicated than that...she had me surprised...oh fine, I admit it, I wanted to kiss her! Does that make you happy?"
"And is you stop her?" Darst demands. "I's saw two people mashing mouths, not one.""It's a little bit more complicated than that...she had me surprised...oh fine, I admit it, I wanted to kiss her! Does that make you happy?"
"No," Darst says, and he doesn't look it. "But seeing Sunhair beats you up? That is be good."
"No," Darst says, and he doesn't look it. "But seeing Sunhair beats you up? That is be good."
Izbahn mutters, "Yeah, she needs to get in line first. ehh, we still need to see the mayor, and let her know what we found undeground. Did Naomi head up there already?"
"No," Darst says, and he doesn't look it. "But seeing Sunhair beats you up? That is be good."Izbahn mutters, "Yeah, she needs to get in line first. ehh, we still need to see the mayor, and let her know what we found undeground. Did Naomi head up there already?"
After Izbahn leaves, Naomi heads off in a huff to the Mayor's office. She moves quickly and has an expression on her face that says "I dare you to annoy me right now..." as she reaches her destination.
"IF you would be so kind as to inform the Mayor I am here, it would be very helpful. The group I was with and I have information on how the goblins got here without being seen. Tell her it's Naomi Fairchild that wants to see her."
Algar is having a hard time to keep his face nromal, since situation is just getting more and more comical. Goblin coming out the alley, lecturing the young man, who is getting all red.
Thinking for a while, Algar slowly notes to chelixian Izzy is your name? Well, when I used to live here and left for a while to Magnimar - I came back today actually to see the situation since heard some news about Sandpoint - and what do I find here. and turns his eyes for a moment towards goblin A new catedral, a small company of heroes, a goblin and now love trouble and that moment Algar burst to laugh.
Mixing of voice, snorting and shrugging, Algar wipes corner of his eyes and looks again at IzzyI remember from my time here, that her father is one hell of a protector toward his daughters, You will have trouble with him later and his grin widen, revealing small tusks.
Izbahn mutters, "Yeah, she needs to get in line first. ehh, we still need to see the mayor, and let her know what we found undeground. Did Naomi head up there already?"
Hearing the comment of Izzy, Algar blinks his eyes, Underground? What are you talking about? Never heard anything about undergrounds in Sandpoint
Izbahn gives the half orc Algar a nod, "I have no doubt about that. As if we don't have enough trouble as is." He mutters.
He continues, "Yes, I take it you grew up here in Sandpoint? Well, you could certainly be helpful, why don't you come with us to see Deverin, and I can fill you in on what we have discovered so far."
Looking at Izzy, Algar gives a nod That sounds fine to me. May I introduce myself: Name is Algar, simple as that. Grown up in here Sandpoint, left couple years ago and worked as a guard.
Finishing, Algar bows a little bit Coming with you, sure. Got nothing to do or lose here.
"No," Darst says, and he doesn't look it. "But seeing Sunhair beats you up? That is be good."
With this, Venmirl has to walk away to hide his laughter from poor Izbahn. He misses much of the conversation between Izzy and their new friend.
"IF you would be so kind as to inform the Mayor I am here, it would be very helpful. The group I was with and I have information on how the goblins got here without being seen. Tell her it's Naomi Fairchild that wants to see her."
The clerk Naomi meets in a small middle-aged man, with spectacles on the tip of his nose. He seems to be copying some documents when the guardsman lets the priestess inside the townhall. At her request, he replies dryly: "The mayor is meeting someone else right now. Would you like to take an appointment?"
Darst glares at Izbahn. "Well, I's going to tell Sunhair. Coming on." He runs off to the Mayor's office.
"That would be fine. If the Mayor has time after her current meeting though, that would be best. As I said, I have information about the invasion." She says simply before leaning against a wall to wait.
Izbahn gives a resigned sigh, and follows Darst to the Mayor's office. Once he has arrived, he sees Naomi waiting for an appointment. Avoiding her gaze, he looks at the clerk, and thinks, An appointment? This town could be invaded by goblins at any day, and this little beaurucrat is preventing Naomi from telling her vital information. I don't think so.
He strides up to the clerk, and says with an edge in his voice, "I think what we have to say is more important that whatever budget issues she is dealing with."
Algar follows Izbahn and goblin. Soon they are in Mayor´s office. Odd scene is soon revealed and Algar is just wondering where had he took wrong turn.
A young woman leaning against a wall and cold look in her eyes. Chelaxian man now suddenly striking at the table and commanding to secretary... without speaking of that goblin where is that small bug now, which had disappeared.
Looking around and wondering to himself, Algar stays at the door, leaning against door frames and watches how the situation will develope
The man replies to Izbahn while continuing to copy documents. "Yes, yes, I've heard it before. Everyone thinks that what they have to say is more important. The mayor will see you when she's done with her current guests."
"Don't worry Izzy." Naomi says, her voice like steel. "It's only a demon in the previously unknown tunnels under Sandpoint creating monstrosities to aid the goblins. I'm sure we have plenty of time for other things."
Naomi waits for Darst's report of Izbahn's "rat hunt".
Izbahn winces when he hears Naomi's voice, and thinks, Ouch, I think I am in trouble now. Ignoring the clerk for now, he turns to look at Naomi, and wishing to forestall the inevitable, leans in close, "I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier, but not here, I think I should tell you in private, if that is ok." He noticed her smell and while she had not been perfumed like Shayliss, she did smell good. Really good.
"Yeah, Naomi, nice to see this office's priorities are in order."
"Don't worry Izzy." Naomi says, her voice like steel. "It's only a demon in the previously unknown tunnels under Sandpoint creating monstrosities to aid the goblins. I'm sure we have plenty of time for other things."
Naomi waits for Darst's report of Izbahn's "rat hunt".
"Izzy let the nasty lady's do it!" Darst snaps, with no mind for subtlety.
"Izzy let the nasty lady's do it!" Darst snaps, with no mind for subtlety.
"I see." The expression on her face leaves no doubt she knows what Izabhn may have let the "nasty woman" do. "Thank you Darst, wonderful job." She kneels down to whisper something in his ear.

Darst smiles a little, but he doesn't seem very happy.
After a few minutes wait, a pair of richly dressed but bedraggled merchants come out of a large meeting hall and head for the exit. Mayor Deverin is close behind them and see the assembled group in the town hall's entrance. She quickly ushers them inside the meeting hall. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting ... Have you found anything important?"
