Kari bounds forward, swinging one of her hatchets at a centipede.
Kari listens carefully to everything being said, taking mental notes, but letting the others talk.
Kari follows along cautiously.
"I think we should talk to the shaman at the very least." Kari has less issues with kobolds then bandits, since she's never heard of kobolds raiding farms.
"I'm listening as well." Kari says, though she doesn't sit down.
Kari fills the others in on what it is. "If the kobolds put it there, it might be able to help us. Though, I think we should leave it caged."
"Kobolds can't be any worse allies than bandits. And likely more reliable ones." Kari offers.
"I hate spiders!" Kari says, as she tries to squish some.
Kari looks around, more then a little worried by the sight of the webs.
"I agree with Korren." Kari says. "A couple of us should go, then the bandits, then rest of us." She'll wait for Korren to cross, then she follows along.
"I am from around here though. Hanging them sounds good to me. I can get the rope." Kari says.
Kari will stay under cover to be ready to ambush them when they come after our shooters.
Kari waits for now, her axes in hand, hoping to ambush them when they closed on her brother and Blackbow.
Kari tries to creep closer to where Pavla is pointing.
"We can try and sneak closer to him, take him out in his own tree." Kari whispers, as she points the man out to the others.
Kari will sneak up with the other two as well.
"Not if the lies kill us. Pavla, they're bandits. They kill whole families for fun. If you trust them, they'll kill you, too. Stop thinking they're sweet and nice people, they're not. They'll do what you say until they can put a dagger in your back."
"Why would you trust anything he told you anyway. It's in his best interest if they killed us." Kari points out.
"We can feed it one of the bandits as a distraction." Kari suggests, and her tone hints she might not be joking.
Kari is emphatically *not* riding with a bandit. She helps Oleg move the dead bodies for hanging, though, if there is time.
"They're only co-operating hoping to escape and warn thier friends. They're bandits, Pavla. I hope we come across some of the things they've done on this little ride so that you start to see what those of us who live out here already know. "They're not recruits, or soldiers, or friends. They're vermin who burn down peoples houses, steal food and clothes, and leave children to die of cold in the winter. If you think we can use them, fine. It's a mistake, I think, but I've been outvoted. "But stop treating them as if they are just misguided. No one forces you to become a bandit. You do it by choice." Ardell's parade ground routine gets a little smirk. Kari finds it amusing.
"First, that's why we're taking them with us. So they don't run off and do it again. Two, if they've slaughtered any farmsteads, they will die. You two haven't slaughtered any families, have you?" Korren says the last part jokingly to the bandits, but it's obvious what will happen if they say yes. "Are we keeping them with us forever, Korren? Of course they'll be fine tied up and guarded, but we can't do that indefinately, can we?"
"We'll give them one chance. If either of them betray us, they'll be dead. If they don't, they've repented." "Or we'll be dead. Or they'll wait for us to let them go, thinking they're reformed, and join some other band of bandits and kill some innocent person. This isn't some nice civilized city. This is the frontier. Would either of those 'repentant' bandits shown mercy to any of the people here. Or to any of the farmers that they'd killed? Wait till the first time we run across a burnt out farm with childrens bodies around and see if you feel the same way then. We can't jail them, we can't trust them, we should hang them."
"Can we trust them?" Kari says. "I have to agree with Oleg. They're bandits, they should hang. They'd kill us if they had the chance."
Kari's been walking the perimeter of the fort, looking for any scouts the bandits left behind, and not wanting to have to help make a decision as to what to do with the captured bandits.
Kari seems more than a little unnerved by the interogation options and so wanders off to other parts of the outpost so that she doesn't have to witness it.
Kari draws her second hatchet, and then moves toward the wagon to cut off the bandit's retreat.
Kari ducks back, trying to not be seen, until the bandits are a little further from the gate.
Kara peeks around the corner, and if she doesn't see any bandits, she moves along the back side of the building towards the gate.
