CH. 04 - Written in Blood

[Bishgada]

========================================
(OOC: I got mistaken with the colors I guess. So if black numbers are up then Chispa still attacks the western farmer but in the middle of the room, which is farmer 2. Sorry. Attack was 14 and dmg 4. Thanks.)

[Daos]

Ha-Yun swings the pommel of her dagger at the first farmer again, and again misses.  Chispa, however, smacks him with her hammer in the shin.  Meanwhile, Seeboe strikes the second farmer again with a thorn whip.  The two remaining farmers are pretty weakened by now, but continue their assault on Vulpi, one of them striking the elf with a farming implement.  Vulpi then knocks off both remaining farmers with the flat of their blade, ending the fight.

"Well, I guess we better tie them up real quick for their safety. I don't know that they won't also be aggressive toward each other so perhaps we should tie them up separately in the four rooms." Vulpi will take farmer one to the northeast room and use their rope to tie them up.

Seeboe will take farmer 2 to the southeast room, grab their pack and tie them up.

"Did they just randomly attack like last time?" Ha Yun asks.

[sarcastiksh0rtee37]

"Well they were standing still just staring at each other. It was only when I tried to confirm that they were unresponsive that they attacked. Well, I guess I know now that they were responsive."

[Daos]

Zencho ties up the third farmer and takes them to the southwest room.

=============

(OOC:  As Igor hasn't posted in two weeks, I'll be NPCing Zencho for now.)

[sarcastiksh0rtee37]

Ooc: I think he got confused with combat since he missed the first round. I think he was asking if he was allowed to participate in combat since he missed the first round and the answer was an implied yes.

[HorizonsDream]

"I wonder if they were guarding something then," Ha Yun says as she looks around the kitchen for anything the farmers could possibly be guarding.

[Daos]

Looking around the kitchen provides nothing of value or utility.  Other than, perhaps, the last door.  Opening it reveals a small pantry.  The foodstuffs and supplies that once filled it have been ransacked, and a large cupboard stands open.  There is also a trapdoor on the floor in the southeast corner.

=============

(OOC:  I don't think that's the case because he's missed the first round of combat many times in the past, and there was never any confusion there before. But also, he hasn't posted in the other game he's in for about the same length of time.)

[sarcastiksh0rtee37]

"whether guarding the trap door or laying siege to anyone below, I guess we are about to find out and hopefully some answers alongside. Ha Yun, you think you could sing me one of those songs that eases my wounds? That last fight was a doozy for me."

[Daos]

"Me, too," Zencho adds.  "I'm pretty hurt."

[Bishgada]

Chispa looks at Ha-Yun expectantly adoring her God's avatar. 'She heals with her songs... Exactly what you would expect from the messenger of God.' and she hums happily with Ha-Yun performance.
"I wonder if the farmers respond to humans body needs, such as sleeping and eating. If they do, we can't leave them here for long time or they will starve. They are also an easy target to the dire foxes we met before, so maybe it will be best if we can make sure they are safe."

Once that is settled, Chispa will ask Vulpi to check the trapdoor for traps.

============================================================================
(OOC: Were the doors to the house fixed and solid? Or broken? and the windows are OK?)

[sarcastiksh0rtee37]

"Chispa, I told you these are diseased people, not malicious people, there aren't going to be any traps, but fine." investigation rP1OTYBG1d20+21d20+2

[sarcastiksh0rtee37]

Has someone tied up the last victim? if not Seeboe will ask Chispa for rope and help tying them up. Since this is the last farmer and the other three were taken to other rooms, we will leave this one here.

Afterwards will help Chispa secure the rooms in some way such as barring at least the exterior doors, shoving furniture over broken windows, etc because he agrees it is risky to just leave them here as well as risky for us if there are unexpected visitors.

[Daos]

The doors and windows of this house are intact.

Vulpi does not find any traps.

Chispa does not have any rope.
