I am posting this to all of my games, so apologies if you see this multiple times:
Unfortunately, I have some bad news.
A combination of work-related stuff has lead to me having to take some time off from the forums. I am, in all honesty, going to need to be gone for several months, as I am going to be travelling for extended periods of time (weeks or more) and I'll likely not have good access to the internet.
As I am not someone who would want to have you all sit and wait for me here, I am going to be withdrawing/closing all of my open forum games.
I want to thank everyone who I have had the pleasure to game with over the last couple of years here, as I have immensely enjoyed my time on the forums, and hopefully, once my work stabilizes, I will be able to rejoin the community.
Thank you again for your time and energy, and I am sorry that I won't be able to keep things moving forward in any of the games that I am running.

So I am posting from work:
Apologies about not posting sooner, but I have been down internet wise for roughly a week, and will not have internet back up yet for a week or so.
This means that I haven't had internet for the last 4 days (as we had 4 days off at my work for the holiday).
It's been...an experience where I learned that I use the internet more than I thought I did.
With all of that being said, I will try to post from work as I can, but if I am in your game, please bot me as needed.
If I am running your game, please bear with me while I try to post when I can. Hopefully, sooner than better, but I want to be up front about this issue.
again, I apologize about the delay.

Posting this to all my games, so sorry if you see it multiple times:
This week both my office and I personally are going to be moving. It's been crazy busy and I am not going to be able to post until Monday at the earliest. Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in a game I am running, I will get a post up as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.

Stopping what he is doing, Cade instead just mounts up the carriage...when he sees Thovin talking to the air.
"You okay?" he asked of the Dwarven cleric.

Cade returns to the group, sheathing his blade as he walks. When he arrives, he says "Looks like a single horse left north of here. We're going to have to leave the carriage, useful though it was. Everyone get your belongings." said Cade as he grabbed his pack then began to unhook one of the horses.

Cade moves to the other Halfling fencer and covers the remains in his cape before giving him a salute with his blade.
Turning, he begins to follow the trail without another word to the other kidnappers. For those of you specialize in studying body language, all joviality and lightheartedness are gone from him.
His blade exists for something else today.

Turning to one of the men, Cade begins barking orders "You! what happened here?" he then turns to the other and says "You! cover up his body! Wasn't he your friend? What's wrong with you?"

"Now now, gentlemen. Overwhelming likelihood of death is no reason to keep a damsel in distress waiting." says Cade as he strides into the clearing.

Cade begins following the bloodtrail.

Are there any signs of predation on the horses?
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
Cade hops down from the carriage and stretches before drawing his blade and moving forward to inspect the carnage.

"So, what's the plan when we get to their location? Are we striding in like we own the place, or sneaking about like stealthy guys who sneak around?"
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
As the group travels, Cade will hand over the reins of the carriage to someone else and take a moment to get changed into his armor by climbing into the carriage itself, then return and take the wheel again.
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
"We would welcome your assistance. I believe my companions were interrogating the man we captured, so they can share information, if they ever get out here. So much for 'grab your stuff and change in the carriage.'"
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
As the group piles into the carriage, Cade snaps the reins to get the vehicle moving.
Land Vehicles (Dex): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
"Don't bother changing, just grab your gear and go. Also, someone grab my gear!"

Was going to wait for the others, and so was making an excuse as to why he wouldn't just run off and leave them.

Still here.
The site was down for about two weeks, but has been stable for the last week or so.

Nodding to Sevren, Cade leaps into the coachman's seat on the wedding carriage and begins steering the horses towards the back of the church, Shouting "Grab the others!" at Sevren as he takes control of the horses.

"Nothing is ever simple." mutters Cade to himself as he sheathes his blade then goes and checks the guardsmen for signs of life.
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
"Good, get to your feet. We have some wedding crashers to deal with." Cade moves to the door, then says "Unless you're too busy lying there, that is." before heading out the front door of the church.

Cade shakes his fist and starts to give chase, but sees Thovin get assaulted by the two small creatures. Turning, he moves to help Thovin deal with them.
Moving and attacking, then using Haste bonus action to attack again.

And the battle is joined.
Cade returns the favor, attacking in kind, although he eschews a off-hand weapon.

Damage Roll: 1d8 + 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + (1, 1, 5) + 5 = 18

Hopping to his feet, Cade moves to the center of the Aisle, draws his blade, and moves next to the bride, saying "Tsk, tsk. Your interruption was trite, ill-advised, and now that I am up and about, over. If you apologize and surrender now, I'll leave you one of your limbs, so that you can perform a trade to get by in the world. If not... well, that's on you."
"Now unhand the woman." he says as he points his blade dramatically at the other Halfling.

Cade gives his winnings to the bartender, and adds another 51 SP on top of it Cade's definitely not into stealing, and he wants to be seen being frivolous with his money, like it doesn't even matter to him.
As the trumpets ring out, Cade stands up, shooing the young woman off of his lap, and says "Well, they're playing my song. I will see you lovely folk later!"
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
"Now, now, this is a festival. Let's see if we can convince the bar tent to open up the good stuff! Everyone, come along!"
Persuasion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Before he leaves the fighting area, Cade will glance up where the other swordsman was looking and see if he notices anything out of the ordinary.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"I'm a master swordfighter." says Cade as he unbuckles his swordbelt and tosses it to Jaylen, saying "Take care of my friend please!" to him, Cade clearly talking about his sword.
"Okay, let's see your practice blades."

"Of course! Although you could just save us all some time and hand me the reward. It'd be faster that way, and we could all get back to drinking and wenching, the most noble passtimes ever given us by the Gods."

Cade doesn't even break stride, walking right up onto the stage.
"So, what sort of duel we talking about here? We using training blades?"
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
"First things first, gentlemen, we all agree to not step in each other's way here. That means no fighting over the same woman; as you can see, there are plenty of fish in this lovely sea. Secondly, we make a pact to help each other. Questions?"
After waiting for questions to be asked, Cade will take his leave of the others than go and listen to the young man looking for volunteers to see what his pitch is.
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |

"And truly a fine day to be seen well it is." said Cade as he winked at the lass, then turned back and said "I love weddings. Especially in small towns. All of the young women get so....festive."
Cade took a drink from his mug, then sat it down and said "Lothairsfall was a heck of a thing. I'm glad we were all able to make it out in one piece."
MAx HP: 39 | AC: 17 | Init: +13 | Saves: Str: 0; Dex: +8; Con: +3; Int: +4; Wis: -1; Cha: +3 |
"...And that's when I realized that it was her sister's room!" Cade pauses for a moment, and the table bursts out in laughter.
"Alright my friends, I see my crew has arrived, so I should go and make nice with them. See you folks at the festivities." as he passed one of the bustling barmaids, he hops up and pinches her rear.
"Evening folks. How's by you? I gotta say, it's good to see you guys with the dirt cleaned off."

What awaits you when you arrive is a completely different Cade from the man you remember in the situation with the Vampire spawn. There, he was aggressive, dangerous and quiet; here...
Cade had arrived early and had spent majority of the morning drinking and telling rather baudy stories at a table near Sevren's. When the others entered, Cade would nod to each in turn and then go back to telling whatever tale of lost love (or lust) that he happened to be telling at the time.
His stories were good natured, and just as many ended with him in a silly or compromising situation as in success. Those sitting at his table seemed to enjoy his stories, and more than one person at the table shared their own.
