Just like Sir Manfred. Last Baron's Tower was a while ago. Can my halfling transmuter have that potion of enlarge person back? It's good to see you. And I'd love to see you play a knight again. Cheers
Knotty retires back to his river and halfling village, reminding the General of his promise never to bother the mage again. And he lived .....
Knotty piles up the wands and scrolls, sorting out the arcane from the rest and sighing at the wand of magic missiles. "I'll take these. Manfred you keep the potion I gave you. Any Lord needs a good potion of enlarge person for the right occasion."
Sighing and shaking his head like a wise old veteran, he pats as high as he can on Galadar's arm and laughs, "the one that got away, heh?" Then he goes back to the gates to see what's happening there.
Knotty looks at Galadar, "this your witness? He's a numpty."
Knooty points at the bartender, "come with us now, the general will hear your evidence."
Knotty relaxes a little, "I wish we had captured the Baron's handler though. The one that got away wearing girl's clothes."
Yay, Manfred, the People's Champion.
"We serve the cause of freedom from tyranny and the future of the good people of Andoran, not as lackeys of Cheliax!" Knotty adds from somewhere around Manfred's knees.
"So someone important, perhaps more so than the Baron, wanted to escape us. Who could that be? I'm guessing it was the Baron's mistress or even master. Oh well they will be long gone by now." Knotty looks at Liandra, "did you find a wand on the Baron? Yes good. Its valuable and dangerous."
Knotty sidesteps the guard, then he runs straight in to help Liandra. "Quick, Manfred, the Baron and Liandra are this way!"
Knotty steps back outside and shouts for Hru to come and help. "We may need your healing!"
Never one to miss a chance, while the guard watches Manfred, Knotty summons his fist of force and attacks the Baron's misguided servant, aiming for his head.
Knotty smiles at the pair of guards and casts a spell, watching to see if they both fall. If not then he backpedals twenty feet away towards the open doorway called for Manfred and Galadar.
Knotty moves up to Liandra and casts a spell upon her, briefly wings appear on her heels. "Get after the Baron. I'll take these."
Knotty returns fire, aiming his last glitterdust at the Baron, but making sure to avoid Liandra. Then the little halfling ducks down below the level of the table and chairs, gaining as much cover as he can.
The little mage staggers a little under the weight of the Baron's attacks. His eyes arrow and he prepares to respond in kind. I'd like that wand. Nice wand.
Knotty stares down the barrel of the wand instead of acting. Frozen for the split second too long. gulp!
The halfling whirls round in surprise.
Knotty dispels the webs with a smirk, just as they start to burn. "Everyone should be a wizard."
Knotty sees Manfred open the door and drops his empty scroll pulling out the combat wand. "Good work lads, and you Eria. That shiny archon rocks."
"Wedge the door with a dagger someone. I thought knight's are strong, my granny could hold back the door with some brains. Or drink the enlarge potion I gave you, it will make you bigger and stronger!"
With a professional smile of satisfaction, Knotty nods to Galadar.
Knotty quickly reads from the scroll, words tumbling after each other as he casts the spell at the kegs.
Knotty pulls out his scroll of glitterdust and waits. He scans and listens as best he can for any signs of the demon. "Give up now or we will pull off those wings and use you for a hatstand. Tell us where the Baron is and you might save that precious skin of yours."
Knotty points behind Manfred, "watch that git's sneaking out!"
Knotty steps inside and checks that everyone else is already there, then he webs the doorway.
"That should help."
Knotty moves over to the entrance when he sees Liandra pick up pace, and pulls out his combat wand (web).
Knotty shouts over to Galadar and Eria, "watch out for a monster with lots of teeth inside!" He grins at the risks in his job. beats fishing.
Knotty comes too but does not get involved in the corpse. He carries on towards the gates a bit but waits for the others to finish messing around. He looks round at the people not walking on by, looking for a storekeeper or someone else to ask, "look, did you see what happened to that man? Who knocked him down and fired him."
Knotty runs back to the group tout-de-suite. "Listen everyone, there is a woman downstairs that the guards are questioning. She is tight with the Baron and his demons and may know where he is. We should get involved quick. Oh and there are lots of other guards down there but no organised resistance for us...yet." "Come on."
"Where's Caira?" Once he has this information, Knotty heads back upstairs to tell the rest.
Knotty joins the melee and asks a couple of the guards if they have seen the Baron lately. He keeps a potion and a wand handy in case things turn nasty.
I'll check downstairs. Call me if it all goes tits up.
Knotty shakes his head as the group start searching. "This is wasting time. We tried and failed or he is outside at the barracks and we will be facing the rest of his soldiers. We should go. This is a bad mistake."
Knotty was wishing for a fireball spell for the guards and he wanted to save his last spells for the Baron. Seeing Hru go wild, Knotty tries to spot the imp demon and if he does he will glitterdust the beast.
Knotty shrugs at Liandra's exclamation. He gives the views a brief cursory glance and then continues looking for the imp. "We should leave here, the imp could be long gone and the Baron is probably laughing in his beer over us messing about still. Let's go get him, slot the bastard and home for tea and cakes."
Knotty purses his lips, "someone can run back upstairs to look for beakers of powders and the like, sand and sulphur, whatever that can be thrown at the invisible demon. Just in case my spell does not work."
When he gets a chance, Knotty steps through the door and slips down the right hand side five feet. Then he tries to catch glimpse of the invisible creature.
Knotty takes out a scroll of glitterdust and waits to for an opening to run out. "Tell me where the demon hides and I'll glitter it again."
His shoulders slump a little.
Knotty takes a moment to study the circle carefully. "If they cannot find us then perhaps they will be gone when we go back the way we have come."
