Taric's spell takes down at least half the brawlers as the air in the room literally chills with his freezing hands and the man you believe is Hjort crawls out from under the table
Let's put a stop to this boys - they won't be able to get too mad at us with all this damage they just caused....I am not Hjort Fastaxe...so just stop. I wasn't gonna say nothin, but then kujo over there started trying to kill people! he says gesturing at Teric. What do you want?
|
Ulfric laughs as his opponent's head solidly connects with his chest and is about to wrestle him the the floor when a man climbs from under a table and the fight begins to diminish. Ulfric pushes The angry man in his face away and sits on the bar table he had been fighting on.
"More Ale for our friends! Nothing like a good brawl to get the blood flowing, why ruin a good thing Teric? Anyway onto more important matters, who are you then if not Fastaxe who ordered us dead like a coward? We were told he was to be found here and I wanted his story. Why burn old Skagnis place?"

He drops a bag of coin on the table and begins wiping off his scars, the product of makeup Look I was just paid to sit here looking like Fastaxe. I don't know what they did at old Skagnis....but I may know something. Hjort Fastaxe took a group, including that Runa up to the Trollheim armory. I guess they got their hands on a few wayfinders and were gonna attack and sack the place and make it look like the Pathfinders did it! IF you hurry you might even be able to catch them!
|
Teric snickers. "Sorry, boys. I don't have a 'play nice' mode. In Varasian, we play for keeps!" He winks at one of the bar fighters.
He turns back to the man who pretended to be Fast-Axe. "Well, pretending to be a big bad man, you ought to be prepared to be a big bad man." The Varasian plucks the bag of gold off the table. "Perhaps we'll go looking for Fast-Axe to return his money."
|
|
Ulfric listens to the mans tale and his eyes grow fierce, he strides purposefully to the weapon pile and takes his own battleaxes and shield, affixing the latter to his arm. He turns to the group, a feverish pride evident in his voice.
"Ann attack on My home will not stand, a shame on any true son of Trollheim that would know of such treachery from an outsider and do nothing. Come friends, let us stop Fastaxe, with an axe to the chest if we must."
Without watching to see if he is followed, Ulfric marches out of the bar, his hand eesting on the haft of his battleaxe.
|
|
Haakon shouts after as Ulfric as he walks out the door.
He downs the remaining mead and gives a loud approving belch as he heads to the weapon pile to gather his things.
"It was a good brawl cut way too short. You all reminded me of what i'm missing by being away from home. Thank you for your hospitality!" he says as he rushes after Ulfric.
|
|
The group heads for the armory where the impostor claimed that the REAL Hjort Fastaxe was headed for his ruse.
As you arrive you see a pair of guards wearing distinctive uniforms speaking hurriedly in skald. Ulfric and Haakon immediately recognize them as the personal guard of Freyr Darkwine, this city's castellan.
|
|
Ulfric makes his way with purpose to Trollheim's armoury, his uneering sense of direction belying the fact that he has been gone for a few years with the society, seeing Freyr's guardsman he holds up his hand and calls out in Skald.
"Hail vänner! Jag hoppas att våra Castellan mässor väl , vad som du ser ao oroliga oh hedrade vakter ?"
|
|
The guardsmen move immediately to grab their arms as Ulfric approaches but with his silver tongue it quickly becomes clear that you are not their foe
Avast, brother, a group just burst through pastu s and deep into the armory, pathfinders can you believe it? They're deeper in the structure and we were debating what to do about it!
|
|
Haakon rushes to catch up with his friend. He finally reaches Ulfric's side as he shouts to the guards.
"How dare people barge in on the castellan telling such lies!" Haakon exclaims in skald.
"Don't just stand there like southerners frozen in a snow storm! Let us head in and stop whoever these people are." he says in the common tongue so his allies can understand.
|
|
Ulfric shakes his head in despair at the actions of Fastaxe and he turns to the guardsmen before replying, noting they seem to be speaking Taldane he keeps to that language for the benefit of the outsiders.
"They are no true Pathfinders! It is Fastaxe and some witch seeking to raid Trollheim and blame it on the society. We here are Pathfinder members, bold and true! Many of the Ulfen Guard have joined the society, do you think such honoured huscarls would side with a rotten group? You have been deceived friends by an enemy to Trollheim, my home, and to the Pathfinders."
His words are somehwat frantic, but he fervently believes what he is saying as he tries to get the guards on side. He turns to Haakon.
"We must go and stop Fastaxe my Jarl! What are your orders?"
|
|
"Agreed. There are more traitors to track down before this day is done. We must show my kinsmen that the Pathfinders are good allies and not the enemies Fastaxe would have them believe!"
Haakon straps his Mithral shield to his arm and then carries his old battered spiked shield in his free hand. He looks ready to throw it at the first enemy he finds.
|
|
"Well i guess we don't have a light problem anymore.." says Haakon as he swings his 'light' shield around."...so let's go be heroes and save the Castellan!" Haakon strides off like he knows the place, even though he's never been in the building before.
"Let's check downstairs first. Listen out for any sign of intruders."
