I apologize. The H1N1 outbreak has got emergency services pretty busy right now. I'll get caught up now that I've got a moment.

Galvan rushes forward and swings his axe in a wide arc, looking to hit both elves. Cleave Attack: 22, Damage: 6, Adjacent elf Damage: 4 "Surrender ta tha Watch!" Galvan bellows.
Galvan shouts, "BREE-YARK!"
Galvan constantly scans for a good location to spring the trap.
If we can, I say we combine going back to the Hollier estate and ambushing the people following us. Maybe get Galvan to put some guards along the route.[/ooc] We could make a big show of returning to the Hollier estate while the sneakier ones follow. They can watch for who is sent to follow us and then we can trap the tail between the two of us. It would give us a chance to interrogate them before being missed.
"It seems we flushed out some a' tha birds. Do we bag what we can and try ta follow 'em back ta their nest or do we keep tha trap baited ta see who takes it?"
Back now and will check on the thread.
"Somebody keep him in sight at all times. We don't wanna lose our bait. I'm gonna try ta get tha crowd ta disperse. Anything happens here, use that magic trick ta let me know." With a heavy sigh, Galvan strides out to the front of the precinct. He holds his hands up high for everyone to see, gesturing for the crowd to quiet down. "I didn't come out here ta tell ya ta leave. I came out here ta put ya ta work," Galvan pauses to let that sink in. "That fella we brought in is gonna talk if I can keep him alive. If he dies, he takes everthin' with 'im an' we got nothin'. Now you can bet his buddies don't want him ta talk. Prolly watchin' us all right now, tryin' ta figger out how ta get in here an' make sure he can't talk," another pause. "I figger a lotta ya are willin' ta help out 'cause I heard a lotta volunteers shout some idears when tha squad an' I were bringin' tha suspect here," pause. "I'm gonna have redcaps set up a table. Any volunteers can step up, tell tha redcap ther name, what they're good at, an' what they wanna do. Tha redcap'll write it down an' find a place for ya ta help out. This don't pay nothin' 'cause yer volunteerin' so don't bother askin'," pause again. "Who's ready ta work without pay?"
"Fellas, I don't think we got tha mojo ta pull offa switch. I think we're gonna hafta set a trap. 'N ya gotta have bait." Galvan points to a redcap, "Get me a cot over here! This cult leader's gonna talk if'n he don't die first! We gotta get 'im outta here now ta tha precinct house! Let's go!" Galvan turns toward the others and says in a quieter tone, "Get ready ta bring him with us," pointing to the surviving cultist, "We'll haul 'em all ta tha precinct house interro room. Keep close ta tha body ta shield 'im like were protectin' 'im."
A few minutes after the fight more Redcaps show up, "Drop your weapons your under...", looking at Galvan "Sorry sir didn't know you were here, your orders"? "Mister Fellhand's got tha right idea. Check on tha downed Redcaps too. In tha heat a' tha fight they looked ta been kilt. If'n they're not, send fer healers."
With a mad shriek he lunges at Galvan biting his face and scratching at his eyes. "RRRRAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!" Galvan surges to his feet and brings both fists down to smash the desperate man. "Damn ya! I was tryin' ta help!"
"Look here fella." Galvan kneels beside the thugee, positioning himself so he appears to be shielding him from the aggressive interrogators. "I'm real sorry ta hear 'bout yer family. What district do ya live? I'll have a talk with 'em 'bout yer case and investigate it mysef. If'n ya want. Tell me 'bout yer family and what happen' ta 'em."
Galvan, angry at the loss of his redcaps, pounds towards the balcony , uses the furniture as a step to bound up to grab the balcony railing, and pull himself over . His rage pushes himself forward charging into the spell caster.
"Yer gonna be kilt while resistin' arrest."
Galvan takes advantage of the opening the mace wielding cultist gives him by choosing to attack Thewl and takes an opportune attack.
"Ya should be more worried 'bout me than him." [ooc]maintaining Mark and Combat Challenge
Galvan's pretty tired of his horns getting blasted. They're expensive! Muttering, "dastrucshun a' private property, vandalism..." Taking advantage of Thewl's maneuvering Galvan shifts forward and takes the sure shot.
"Once I'm through whicha yer spell daddy's next."
Points up to the spell slinger, "Yer runnin' outta bums ta throw 'n my way. I'm comin' for ya."
Galvan nods at Thewl, bolstered with the knowledge his flank is covered Muttering to himself still, ...no weapons permits, unlawful discharge of a weapon in tha city limits, murder of a watchman... Galvan brings his axe down from high over his head on the caster. He is sure to strike his near-prone target .
"Buddy, yer my special project."
Galvan points up to the balcony, "Yer all next!"
The red glow from Galvan's horns fades after the scorching lightning burst. "Beatin' it is." Galvan charges forward, passing by Thewl to take the position between the cultists . He brings his axe around in a great arc, while at the last moment, shifting his grip to allow the flat of the axe to smash into the cultists from left to right.
With each step and swing Galvan mutters under his breath, "Breakin' 'n enterin', abducshun, practicin' tha dark arts, wieldin' tha dark arts, resistin' arrest, assaultin' tha watch...
With a grimace of pain Galvan looks toward the Red Cap squad, "Your task is ta pratect Master Brightspell 'n watch my back." Galvan stubbornly pushes forward and takes a position inside the manor near the others without blocking the door himself . Waving his axe in a single sweeping motion, "On my authority as a Sarjunt a' tha City Watch, yer ordered ta lay down yer weapons an' remand yerselves inta my custody. Yer refusal ta comply will mean more charges an' a beatin'!" ---------------------------------
"Excuse me sir." Galvan takes the address note and goes outside to the street. He takes his Red Cap Reed and gives the signal for a rider/runner. As soon as the rider/runner appears, Galvan presents the address note: "A squad needs ta report ta this address an' secure tha safety a' tha residents! Go!"
"Excuse me sir. Gennelmun this address ain't far from here. I'm on my way ta see ta ev'ryone's safety." Galvan heads out at a run towards the address.
"I don't mind returnin' ta tha estate. My crew an' I picked up every bit a' evidence we could find but none a' us are magickers. Mebbe some a' ya could find some'in' else out." *snort* "Fellas, I've been listenin' an' it popped ta my mind that tha only ones makin' any noise 'bout tha kidnappin' are guildpeople. Important guildpeople keep gettin' nicked. I'll see 'bout gettin' us a list of 'em. I dunno 'bout tha nobles or tha churches 'cause they seem ta be keepin' it ta themselves. But it makes me wonder if that's tha case for them too?"
"I'm just sayin' there's gotta be anudder reason. I know what it takes ta knock somebody down and what it takes ta kill 'em." *snort* "I ain't so strong that I can't hold an egg. If that perp died from tha tap I gave 'im it's 'cause there was some'in else wrong with 'im."
"I'm Sarjunt Galvan Ironhorns a' tha City Watch." *points to his red cap* "I got no 'lusions 'bout myself. I'm a head-knocker and brawl-breaker. Investigatin' is not my strong suit." *snorts* "I don't like what's been goin' on lately. I lost good people ta other day too. So, up front, I ain't a' quittin' this until we get who's doin' this." "Just so's ya'll know: my crew and I tried ta bring 'em back alive. Heck, one a' 'em I just grazed with my knuckles. I KO'd him fer sure. But after tha fight was over, he was dead as the rest."
I added the intiative rolls to my profile. At Invisible Castle it is under the character name and the Campaign listing of Genera, City of Gold.
*holds up scroll case* "I'm sure that hiz onner put everthing we need in this file. Let's go find a quiet place ta look this stuff over. Thank ya fer yer consideration and yer time yer onner." *nods in respect to the judge and turns to leave*
Thank you. I've made the changes.
I don't mind making the change. Is the change listed in the character builder or someplace else? I'm at work so I'll have to look it up later today.
Present as well.
I'm interested as well. (GM Victory) I already have a PC (Minotaur Fighter 1) from a different game that fizzled out. I made the modifications so it met your game requirements. "Galvan left the Minotaur Holds after losing his horns. He raided and did mercenary work before he came to Genera. He was offered a place on the City Watch after single-handedly ending a bar brawl, which he had only done because the brawlers spilled his drink. With his first month's pay he commissioned a pair of iron horns and had them bolted on to the remnants. Since then he's been a dedicated keeper of the peace."
Nothing here appears to interest Galvan. He's content to keep alert.
"Ya got time ta even a score if ya got one and grab some swag before they get their act tagether. Ya better be gone by then if ya don't wanna get snagged."
"Since tha other two ain't come back we should stick tagether."
"We know tha secret way outta here. Why not get out that way? We can watch how good they act after an attack and see if any village comes ta help 'em. I say we snag ourselves some eats and stuff, then head out. 'Cause if we're not gonna finish this place tanight, we gotta go."
"If we're lookin' for more panic 'n chaos ta cause, I'm goin' over ta tha well ta cut tha rope and dump tha buckets inside. I'm thinkin' a fire on tha other side a' town will be a big distraction while tha jail break is on. 'Specially when they can't get no water ta fight tha fire. Anybody wanna go with?" Galvan looks to grab some extra torches from the gate guard post before heading out.
Galvan gets out of the cart and stretches. He walks over to the gate and takes his rope to secure the gate. "It'll create more panic when they figger out they can't get away."
Galvan thinks we failed in the purpose of our raid so it doesn't matter to him. He doesn't figure the halflings went "wee wee wee" all the way back where they came from. He's sure they've gone to the village and will warn them. As far as the guards go, he actually sympathizes with them. They hired on to do a job. However, Galvan's a merc too and dying, like it or not, is part of the job. He'd prefer giving them a clean death instead of torture. Wounding helpless things doesn't entertain him.
Galvan looks around. "Did we get alla them?"
Seeing that Eulaugolg could be in trouble soon, Galvan circles around the interposing guard to crash into the guards and cut off their approach.
Galvan snorts and brings his axe around to cut the guard down.
Galvan holds his position at the front of the caravan to prevent anyone from making a run for the village.
With a snort, Galvan charges into the horse pulling the lead cart.
Ok sounds cool. I may not be able to use the invisiblcastle thing while i'm at work but I'll use it when i'm at home. Same for me.
"I don't think we're gonna fool anyone dressin' up like hoomans." Galvan is using a small wrench and is loosening the last bolt on one of his horns. "We need ta figger out what we want first. Damage? Loot? Blood? Combo? Then we can figger out the best way ta get it." He carefully tucks the bolt into a belt pouch then takes out a wire brush and starts working any spots of rust out of the iron horn.
Ready unless you say different. :)
