Redeye glares. "That weren't necessary, y'id'yits! We cen't jus' bash in the ders left 'n right, we gotta sneak er we may jus' make things worse!" "Why don'y you tell that to her dead body when we find out we are too late? Now come on we need to hurry!"
"Again with the sneaking. If this girl is in danger, we don't have time to sneak around like some thieves" "Now, are you going to stand there or help us out?" a smile starts forming on his mouth
"I say go. All this sneaking around is making me edgy." ------ When the door turn out to be locked, Ashbek look down and breath out hard, obviously fustrated. Suddenly he look up, some kind of inner fire in his eyes none of them have ever seen before. "Step aside Cuu.." he says with a cold voice.
Seeing the door hold against his weight Ashbek throws himself at it again, this time looking at Cuu "What are you just standing there for? get at it!"
-------
"Ways to get in?" Inquires Cuu, "Just that door?"Redeye shakes his head. "Nay. We can't berge in. Trap may be sprung, but 'e's 'ad time to reset it. See tha' chimney? Thet either means ther's workers in 'ere, er some'un else. This'll require finesse. So 'ere's what we'll do: We knock nermal like, at the deliv'ry . 'f knock the special way, he'll re'lize 'e's been caught. We see who answers. If it's a half-elf, we get 'im. 'fits a worker, we ask some questions. 'fits nobody, then we berge 'n." "Aaah.. the boring way, then." he remark with a smile at Cuu.
"Sheiff not here, we act now." He looks at the little halfing, "Where Glassworks?" "Just my words" Ashbek agrees before picking up his glaive and storming out of the inn. Outside he stops and waits for someone who knows the way.
Ashbek looks dumbfounded at Redeyes stream of words, trying to make sense of them. With a shake of his head he turns his attention to Senuset and nods in agreement.
Ashbek eyes the tank of water and let his stare go back to Cuu. "That's right, damn it!" he yells ()
Hey guys. I'm sorry but my internet connection is broken, so i can't post from home, and i only have limited options from work.
I really like dathom's cleric and far_wanderers sorcerer or necromancer.
The sorcerer: I think it would be fun with her lack of social skills vs Aylmoras, and their equal good looks. The necromancer: Well, that's what he wants to play.
Not much for religion Ashbek declines to go talk to the Father and decides to heed the mayors words. He spend the first half hour shopping for the biggest mug he can find. When that is taken care off he heads over to the Inn for and get his new mug filled, and heads out to the main square. Here he will cross his arm and put on his meanest face, as only a shoanti can do it.
"But it is easy. You just..." Ashbek demonstrates how you kill a goblin."See?" "But if you really want to pay us to flex our muscles in the town square once in a while, i'm not going to stop you" he shrugs. "Allthough i'm not sure i need more to drink after last night" he whispers to Cuu.
After a looong walk back to the inn Ashbek spots Sapere and approach him. "More goblin trouble. They are gone now" he says sounding bored, although there is a hint of annoyance in his tone.
Yay, this is the first time a pbp makes it to the next lvl for me. I'm done i think. Ashbek can now run as fast as a horse when he is raging. As for pace i think it's great the way it is.
Ashbek follow the others back to the inn.
Unlike Cuu Ashbek flies into a rage and makes a mighty chop at the goblin.
Ashbek growls furiously as yet another swing miss the ugly little creature, his rage starting to build up..
Abstract
Spoiler: initiative
attack
"Are you Alergast? Your wife brougt us." Ashbek says while slowly moving towards the man in the closet, keeping his glaive ready.
Ashbek shrugs "I hear nothing, let's go in" he says turning the handle.
Ashbek scoff at the dwarf and move to push the door open, keeping his senses aware of anything unusual. perception
”Goblins” Ashbek spits. ”Tell me where to go and any goblin i stumble upon will wish it had stayed in its filthy hole”
"Kill a couple of goblins and suddenly the whole town comes running to you with their problems.." Ashbek remark to Cuu before he stands up and listen to the womans problem.
Cuu elbows Ashbek and tilts his head toward Sapere's direction, "Can't believe boldy's getting some action before us!"
"This should be interresting" Ashbek whisper back. Having ordered a refill quite a few times, his words is loud and slurry.
Ashbek stops in the middle of raising his mug and frowns at Saperes remark. ”Of course i would. I'm a child of the Plateau, and it's as much a part of me as my own beating heart”
"The Storval Plateau, where my people roam and hunt. It's a shame. You really should visit it sometime, i think you would like it. Maybe when we are done with this little goblin problem here, we could go there." he says before adding "If you don't slow me down" giving Cuu a wink.
This is the most lively and talkative you have seen him so far.
Ashbek looks at his mug for a couple of seconds, then takes a big sip of it. ”There was no honor in those kills.” he smiles at Cuu's sugestion and raise his mug in a cheer ”I would like that.” he says befor draining the rest of his mug. He motions the bar staff for a refill. He seems to be falling into his own thoughts when he suddenly looks at Cuu and ask "Have you ever been to the plateau?"
Ashbek just answer Old Redeye with a cold stare before walking to the bar and order a large ale.
Ashbek rolls looks at Cuu and roll his eyes at Foxgloves latest praise to Aylmora. He then walks after the others, still in a grumpy mood from the supposed hunt.
Ashbek stares wide eyed at the dead boars, not knowing how to react. His jaw tightens as he look at the guilty horses and for a moment it seems he is about to lunge himself at them, but he settles on thrusting his javelin into the ground in outrage. "This was no hunt" he answers Cuu coldly.
Initiative
Merry christmas everybody.
Ashbek is already awake when Aldern comes knocking on his door. With a nod of his head he makes it clear that he will be joining him on the hunt today. When Aldern moves out to rouse the rest, Ashbek finds Cuu's room and gently knock on the door.
"You are going on the hunt today?"
As he has never witnessed a "civilised" party before Ashbek find himself a corner to stand in. He observes the crowd of the inn with his mouth wide open.
At the rusty dragon Ashbek will immediately head for the bar to buy Cuu an ale. "Since we alle seem to get out dinner paid tonight, let me offer you this beverage as a sign of respect"
"I agree." Ashbek nods. "First thing tomorrow we should find some goblins to kill.. er.. talk to. But for tonight, let's eat well so our stomachs are full for the hunt."
Ashbek pick up the earring and turns to Cuu. ”Goblins are using earrings now?”
Ashbek hangs back with Cuu. ”Me neither. But they would not have gotten far from here by now. Let the others do the talking, while we search the nearby area” Ashbek suggest to Cuu.With or without Cuu he will move around the perimeter of the graveyard looking for any kind of clue. Perception
Though he know that the situation is not for fun and jokes, Ashbek can't help but grin at Cuu's remark.
He suddenly stops, realizing that his strong legs has carried him far ahead of the party. Soon he is back running besides Cuu. ”Don't know the way” he smiles at the fighter.
Ashbek run out to collect his javelin. Seeing the departing party he shrug 'well.. why not?'. He run to catch up with them.
Ashbek walks over to Cuu, and without answering his teasing questions he looks him in the eyes and stretches his arm towards him, inviting him to take it. If he does so Ashbek will nod his head in respect. ”You fight well” is all he says.
Still in rage from his latest kill Ashbek is unable to stop the fighting. He drop his glaive and quickly draws a javelin and throws it after the fleeing dog.
Forgot to add the +1 from inspire courage in my previous attack.
Ashbek growls as his swing misses and the mounted goblin starts to retreat, and puts a goblin between them. He stops for a moment overlooking the situation and hopes that cuu will clear a path for him.
Seeing Cuu drop another goblin and taking the lead in their competition Ashbek focus inward unleashing his inner strength in a furious chop at the mounted goblin.
Spotting the dog riding goblin some distance away Ashbek positions himself in line with the apparent leader of this group. Leading with his glaive he charges forward, making a spin at the end of his charge to bring more power behind his swing.
