I was thinking the same thing.
Philgor removes any visible weapons from her and binds her hands behind her back. Before fashioning a blindfold he looks her in the eye and says, "Yvogga, I swear no harm will befall you while you are in my custody. I need to know how you got into this caverns and what you were looking for. This information is important for me to keep you safe." To the others he says, "Search the area for anything important."
Philgor continues moving until he is in front of Yvogga. "That will be for the authorities to decide but I will take you to them. You will have to be bound and blindfolded first. What do your companion want to do? Leave or go with you."
"The best you could hope for is that the people of Arwyll Stead put you and your friend in prison. More likely they will put your heads on spikes outside the gate to warn others of your race. Vegazi can tell you how she was treated and she has some friends in the town. What can you offer them to keep you alive and free?"
"Argus that is going to bring the ceiling down on all of us and leave a crater in the middle of town." Philgor moves into the room and walks up to Yvogga. "Vegazi tells me that you are not one of your mother's favorites so my guess is that she did not send you here. What do you want in Arwyll Stead."
Philgor slings his crossbow and grabs his polearm before slowly moving forwards. "Which sister is this?
Philgor reloads and fires again.
Philgor sees the lights go out and stops. "Damn magic.", he mutters under his breath and begins to pull out his crossbow and loads it.
Philgor throws his everburning torch down the hall in hopes that it will illuminate the enemy. "Let the centipedes loose. We need to engage them or they are just going to fall back and hinder us all through the caves."
Philgor moves up and waits for the enemy to arrive. "That seems to have gotten their attention."
Philgor moves to the mouth of the southeast. Reaching down with his weapon he draws a line on the dirt floor. In a hushed voice he whispers to Qiola, "I will hold here. Retreat back or call for help if you need it."
"I agree with Qiola. Leave the beetles alone. The last thing we need to do is start a fire and bring the whole manor house down on top of us. Follow me." With that said he move to the stone. He pulls out an ever- burning torch and looks behind it.
All seems quiet as Philgor silently follows the group.
As Philgor helps Deputy Volsson get the man home he asks, "Has anyone else in town been acting strange or is this the first that you have seen?"
"With all that has been happening a lot of people must be on edge. Anything could set them off." Philgor turns to the woman who was trying to stop the man and says, "What happened to start him down this path?" While waiting for an answer he begins to pick the man up.
Philgor kneels beside the man and checks his condition. "He's fine but he will have a massive headache in the morning. I will carry him home for you. Just lead the way."
Philgor looks at the Halfling and quietly says, "I don't plan on killing him. If you think you can reason with this drunk go ahead and try." While Xorrin speaks to the man Philgor begins to circle around behind him.
Philgor wakes up to the sound of the man screaming. "Another good nights sleep disturbed." He pulls on his pants, grabs his spear, and heads downstairs. He looks around the room and glares at anyone who makes eye contact. If not challenged he heads for the front door of the inn.
Philgor steps up at the meeting with the mayor and states, "No disrespect mayor but I don't need to be paid to keep an trusted ally safe. Anyone attempting to harm her will have to get past me first."
Philgor runs all the scenarios through his military mind and says,"It will not matter whether Vegazi stays or goes. The Hell's Fury tribe will not let the town off the hook. It she leaves they will see it as the town has let her escape and if she stays the town will be harboring her." "Let us rest tonight and head out in the morning. If they see us coming in force they may leave the town in peace."
"Seems that since they have failed to capture her they are going to get someone else to do it."
Philgor listens as Lyra fills in the mayor. He adds to the story when needed to help explain the military aspects of the trip. When Xorrin and Qiola introduce themselves he speaks up. "It has been an interesting few day. My name is Philgor of the Trunau militia. Glad to have your help. After the mayor is finished with us, and we get cleaned up, I would love to sit down and fill you in on the details. Let meet back here then and we can discuss it over dinner and a pint or two."
Welcome to the game.
Philgor is a soldier and is used to being summoned on short rest by his superiors. "Let's see what the mayor wants before we rest. I would not be able to rest wondering what he has in mind for us." With a smile he adds, "Beside, if we show up smelling like we do he might keep the conversation short."
I am still in. I just had a lot come up in the couple weeks.
While the others tend to the sister Philgor goes back and finishes off the boar and begins to butcher it for dinner. He thanks Lisbet for the healing.
With mighty grunt pulls free of the vines and starts moving toward the woman. "We can't let her escape!"
Philgor catches sight of an imp flying by and takes a quick jab at it before turning his attention back to the boar.
Pulling at the vines with the powerful legs he attempts to break free of their grasp.
Reversing his grip on his weapon, he stabs down at the boar. "One of us is going to eat well tonight."
Philgor steps away from the imp and takes another swing at the bore with is bec de corbin.
Philgor takes another swing at the swine but dodging the imp throws off his aim.
Philgor attempts to dodge the flying creatures but feels the sting in his shoulder where the stinger makes contact.
AoO on Boar:
As the boar approaches it slips past his defence and gets a nasty bite.
Cleave on Imp if possible:
Motteditor: Sorry to say but I lost track of how many HPs I have. I know we rested and I think I am now at 23.
Philgor charges after the two. "Stand and fight woman! There is no escape."
"I don't think this is going to be a friendly reunion. I got the boar. The rest of you take down the sister." Philgor moves to the front of the party and takes up a stance to intercept the boar if it charges.
"Stay low Shackleton." Philgor carefully swings over the gnomes head trying to break up the swarm.
Philgor stumbles a few feet trying to evade the crows. Once he feels that they are no longer targeting him he tries to clear his vision.
Philgor franticly swings his polearm around but cannot make solid contact. He drops his weapon in an attempt to cover his eyes but it is to late to stop the birds from raking them. He screams out in frustration as he is engulfed by the swarm.
Philgor tries to break up the swarm with this pole arm. Swinging it over the heads of his companions.
Philgor speaks up,"I have always heard that farmers are the best fed men in the world because their wives are the best cooks. What do you say children? Should we have your mom fix us something to eat?" He smiles at the farmer's wife and then nods to her husband to show the his only interest in her is her culinary skills.
By evening, you reach a little house that sits on a level field about a half-mile from the road.
Philgor looks at Lisbet, "It is evening already. The children are tired. I think it would be better to stay here tonight and leave at first light."
Hearing the shout from inside the house, Philgor moves up to the back of the building to see if he can find a way inside or look through a window.
Philgor yells from the back of the house. "It's getting dark back here!"
Philgor circles the house looking for any signs of trouble.
"I hope so. These attacks are slowing us down. We need to hurry up and get back to town. I hate to think about what is happening back there. If we don't get moving there may be nothing to return to."
Since Argus and Vegazi are looking after the family and the boars Philgor will head out towards the sounds of combat.
Philgor continues to lead the farmers toward the rest of the group. He hands a spear to the farmer and a short sword to his wife, "These will help you protect your children until we reach safety. Stay close to me."
Philgor stays with the family as a guard and protector. He gathers them up says, "We will follow them in case they need help. Stay close to me." They follow at a slower pace.
