"Thanks, Gyorgy," Kenzo says as he binds what' left of his wounds.

"Fascinating?!?" Keliwyn exclaims as he sits up and stretches his cramped muscles. "Easy for you to say, your not bleeding and paralyzed. What the hells just happened?"
Kenzo makes a quiet gurgling noise.
A moment before fire lashes out from Gyorgy's hand, Kenzo slams a palm heel strike into the morphing monstrosity's chest.
Kenzo joins Gyorgy, taking an easy, non threatening posture, but let's his friend do the talking.
Kenzo raises an eyebrow at what seems to be the man's nervous stammering, and takes the lead following him into the building. "Have you tried magical healing?" he asks. "Perhaps we can help more than you think."
"No problem," Kenzo adds, "Just point us to Grayst and you're welcome to go back to whatever it is you were doing. We're more than comfortable taking care of ourselves."
"Hello, sir," Kenzo hails the man. "Sheriff Belor sent us. We're here to speak with a man named Grayst. If you would be so kind as to accommodate us . . . "
"Thank you, sir," Keliwyn says with a nod as he follows Mitnal up the gravelly path to the house. "Well, so far so good," he says with a smile to the others.
"Hello, sir," Kenzo says. "We're here to talk with someone on behalf of Sheriff Belor."
"You mistake my tone, friend. I'm not complaining, and meant no harm," Kenzo replies. "Sheriff, thank you. We'll see what we can do, and will report back to you later."
"I suppose?" Kenzo says to Gerhardt. "I thought you were looking for some excitement and adventure? Now while I wouldn't make light of the death of our good citizens, it does seem like something foul is afoot."
"I'm ready for a walk. Are we all going?" Kenzo asks.
"You look a little pale, Gyorgy," the monk says as he pats his friend on the back.
Walking out of the Mill, they run into Kenzo, who is jogging up. "What's going on? I heard something's up, he asks. "Gerhardt, Sheriff," he adds with a nod.
"She's tied up, I think Mitnal can handle her." Kenzo says. "As for this one," he continues, hauling the goblin to his feet. "I say we just let him go in the woods. If nothing else, I'm sure he'll tell others of his kind about what happened here." When everyone is ready, he gives a nod to Eugen to lead them out.
Kenzo stands off to the side and lets Gyorgy try and speak with Nualia. At one point, however, he elbows Eugen in the ribs and whispers, "Go ahead, ask her for a hand."
"If we go there could be trouble, if we stay there could be double," Kenzo reminds everyone.
"So, what do you all say? Shall we get out of here?"
"Jessa,I don't expect she's going to tell us much. Okay, Mitnal might get her to talk, but not you. Not unless you make her your 'friend' like you did with the goblin," Kenzo says. He looks to the others, and then adds, "I say we bring her back to Sandpoint, and get out of her. We've caused enough havoc that any invasion should be delayed, if not off completely. Without their leaders, the goblins will likely scatter and run."
"Her, on the otherhand," Kenzo's says, "I don't mind leaving alone for some one-on-one time with Mitnal."
"How much of this place do you think we've seen?" Keliwyn asks as he stretches to loosen up muscles stiff from a night of sleeping. "Now that we have Nualia, do we check out the rest? Or head back to Sandpoint?"
"How much of this place do you think we've seen?" Keliwyn asks as he stretches to loosen up muscles stiff from a night of sleeping. "Now that we have Nualia, do we check out the rest? Or head back to Sandpoint?"
"Alright then," Kenzo says as he plops down on the ground. "So who wants to stand first watch with me? And how do we secure the door?"
"Excuse me," Kenzo says to Mitnal, and then turns around and punches the goblin hard, square on the jaw.
Kenzo gets between the large barbarian and the little goblin. "Mitnal! We can't kill him! Not while he's tied up! C'mon, man, I was just trying to put him to sleep. Seriously."
"Yeah! Tying him up! That's right!" Kenzo effuses. "Anyone have any rope?"
"I've got 'em! It's okay!" Kenzo yells as he tries to subdue the struggling little monster
Kenzo nods. He looks at Jessa and smiles, and says, "You're very sweet." Then he walks by Mitnal, giving him a wink, and over to the goblin, who he proceeds to put in a choke hold. "It's alright, Jessa!" he yells, "He's just going to sleep!"
"If Gyorgy and Jessa are comfortable enough with all this, uh, stuff, it's fine with me," Kenzo says, looking around. "Of course, we should probably secure the door and take turns with a double watch while the others rest." After a few minutes, he adds, "I'm happy to take first shift. Whose joining me?"
"That reminds me of the fountain those things came out of back under Sandpoint," Kenzo offers.
Kenzo gives a nod to the others, and opens the door, ready for anything.
"I'll lead, but we should all move together."
Kenzo happily assists Jessa with tying up Nualia, and passes the medallion on to Eugen. He listens thoughtfully to Jessa, but shakes his head and says "Decisions, decisions. I don't know. I'm not excited about sticking around here, but if Jessa gets some rest, maybe she can heal up you guys up." Looking done, he says, "I'm doing okay, and can keep watch, but if we're staying, I'd suggest we find a more secure location." As an afterthought, he adds, "Jessa, you still have your bow. Mitnal, how are you?"
"Gyorgy? Hey, Gyorgy - are you okay?" Kenzo asks with genuine concern.
Kenzo gives Eugen a wink, and, with a smirk, says, "It's you."
"Anyone else wondering if there are more goblins around?" Kenzo says as he starts looking around. "We have exactly seen this whole complex yet."
Kenzo goes about stripping Nualia of her armor, weapons, and any extraneous items, all the while shaking his head as he listens to the conversation. After he's done, he let's out a big sigh, and stretches his arms above his head, toward the ceiling. He then turns to Jessa, and says, "I'm sorry, but I can't sanction executing her. She's dangerous, yes, but we've subdued her. She now needs to stand before the people of Sandpoint so they can find her accountable, and none of us, with the exception of Gyorgy, really have a claim to being from Sandpoint. Besides, I'm sure that at least the Sheriff and the Mayor are going to want to interview her themselves." With that, Kenzo looks to each of the others in turn, waiting to hear their thoughts.
"Eugen? Kenzo? Gyorgy" she asks, "Is everyone else okay?" "I think I might be the, um, okayest, of, uh, the okay," Kenzo replies before he drops to a seat on the floor, amazed that the combat is, for now, over.
Kenzo tries to push all thoughts from his mind and focuses his power into his fist, hoping to stun the lethal Nualia.
Kenzo lashes out in a flurry of blows, hoping to confuse his opponent and finally connect.
Kenzo closes with Nualia, and focuses his chi into his palm, making it unto like a thing of iron . . .
edit: eep
Kenzo tries to focus an attack against the monstrous hound.
I gurgle a little through the blood in my throat, hoping it sounds brave and encouraging to my comrades. Kenzo's head clears and he's greeted with the sight of Eugen bleeding profusely. Without taking the time to take in the rest of the scene, he jumps through the air, trying to slam a powerful kick into the monstrous dog.
