"I think we oughtta follow it, in case it's up to some trouble. At least try to see where it's heading. If we try to stay hidden and under cover, we might be able to watch it, prevent any mischief."
"What is it?" asks Kelindra curiously. Seeing Gal's and Pavel's responses, she decides to be a bit more cautious than usual and does not jump up and down and point.
Pavel squints after the winged form.
"Some sort of gargoyle. Definitely not a resident, far as I know. Let's just see where it's going before we rest up for an expedition."
The junior vigilant pulls out his longbow and tries to follow the gargoyle.
Suddenly the creature turns as if reacting to some unseen stimulus. Letting out a screech, it dives straight for Kelindra.

That gets her attention. "Hey, what the..."
Kelindra reaches for her longsword. Initiative = 8
With speed and grace at odds with his size, Pavel fires an arrow at the diving gargoyle.
Longbow attack, plus Favored Enemy bonus:1d20+6=18, 1d8+2=3
Pavel's shot misses, but not by much. Ivo tries to throw a spear at the creature but manages to stub his toe instead. The gargoyle-like creature lands and begins to stalk Kelindra. Almost twice the height of a man, the creature jabs a massive crystal horn at Kelindra. Somehow, the gods must be watching out for her, because the blow bounces off her armor without doing any serious injury.
Gal rushes forward and bites the creature on it's leg. Against all odds, the creature lets out a howl of pain and a strange white liquid runs from the wound.
Kelindra staggers back, such that the beast's horn has run her through. But with some surprise, she finds herself whole. She swings her longsword at the titanspawn.
To hit [1d20+3] = 13
dmg: [1d8+2] = 8
Gin slowly approaches the gargoyle "Didn't your mother ever teach ya not to hit a lady"
In single action he braws his blade and attacks the beast
Kelindra's blow just bounces off the beasts rocky hide. However Gin gets in a mighty blow and opens another gash in the creature's flank.
Pavel discards his longbow and takes his bastard sword in a heavy two-handed swing.
2-handed bastard sword: 1d20+6=11, 1d10+5=15
Pavel's swing fails to have any effect on the creature.
Ivo slings a bullet at the creature
Ivo has a "why me moment" as the stone almost hits Gal instead of the creature. Turing to face Gin, the creature lunges and bites the space where Gin had been just seconds before.
Moving quickly to flank the creature, Gal lunges at it, sinking his teeth into it once again 1d20+6=24, 1d6+6=7 (+2 if flanked)
Gal bites the creature in another sensitive spot, however, this bite doesn't ellicit the howl of pain that the last one did.

As the creature turns to Gin, Kelindrda raises her longsword again, in an attempt to bring it down on the top of the creature's head.
to hit: [1d20+3] = 5
Gin swings again hoping to inflict more damage.
Both Kelindra and Gin fail to have any major effect on the creature.
Shouting obscenities to make a sailor blush, Pavel attacks again with his hand and a half sword in a two-handed grip.
2-handed bastard sword attack: 1d20+6=18, 1d10+5=12
Pavel's blow glances off the beasts skin without even leaving a mark.

Ivo's stone bounces off the creatures hide. With a might flap of it's wings, the creature shoots skyward, perhaps to find easier prey tonight.
Taking a running leap Gal tries to rip (1d20+6=9, 1d6+6=11) another strip out of the creature
"What, we ain't tasty enough fer ya, you unicorn-wannabe freak?!"
2-handed bastard sword:1d20+6=24, 1d10+5=11
Sigh
Gal misses with his leap, but both pavel and Gin hit the beast, adding their own marks to the creatures hide.

Kelindra takes one more swing with her longsword.
Attack [1d20+3] = 14dmg: [1d8+2] = 9
Kelindra's swing misses as the creature rises above the reach of your weapons. Suddenly, several Crimson Legioneers round the cornr, weapons drawn. "Halt citizens," their leader shouts, "wha is going on here?"

"Oh so now the authorities appear. Woulda been more helpful a while ago." Gin glances at the beast now fleeing to the sky.
"Did I say you could go" He quickly draws a javelin and lets it fly.
Kelindra is about to agree with Gin's sentiments, but then catches herself. She has spent all of that time in the cloisters learning about the teachings of Corean, history, and diplomacy. Every once in a while, she ought to put some of those skills to use.
Diplomacy [1d20+6] = 17
"Thank goodness you've arrived. That strange, flying creature up there attacked us from the sky. We would never want to disturb the peace, but I'm afraid our lives were in danger."
Being well aware of the feelings towards his kind, Gal wisely chooses to remain in wolf form, and tries to stay hidden (1d20+6=20) in the shadows. A low growl of displeasure escapes his throat but he manages to keep it low enough to not be heard...
"We have been getting a lot of reports of attacks," the commander says. "Do any of you require care?"
"We have been getting a lot of reports of attacks," the commander says. "Do any of you require care?"
"I believe we are all well sirs. I thank you for your concern. What was that hideous creature? You say you've seen more of them?"
Kelindra is hoping they are talkative. If they take the bait, so to speak, and seem willing to talk, she will offer to buy them a beer in the Tavern and discuss these recent attacks. If it appears they are busy and want to move on, she wont bother. Also, she stays close to Pavel, so these guys don't get the wrong idea. She wants to chat, nothing else.
Pavel keeps his mouth shut and plays the 'dumb muscle' role around the Legionnaires.
"One last shot" Gin arcs his arm back and lets the javlin fly
Gin sighs and begins to walk off. "Pavel you've been here a few times, no? Where's a good place that sells quality weapons?"

"Hmm. Can't really remember. I didn't need any weapons last I was here; it was just in and out with the caravans. Town square should have a good blacksmith, though. I got a good price for the hobgoblins' equipment when I hocked it; if you need some coins, I'll give you your share."
