Oh, yeah, he thinks when the 'tuffs' start in.
"I guess that makes you lot the runts of the litter", he said with a grin that would worry a goblin, he replies to the group on the porch. He doesn't seem to be slowing down for the 'welcome committee', but continues on towards the door.

After obtaining a glass of wine from the bartender, the cleric made her way to the inn's main entrance and went outside. She stood in the shadows of the planked porch, sipped her wine and looked around at the town, wondering about her companions. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 174,126 Likes: 8 Babylon 5 Rules Moderator | | Babylon 5 Rules Moderator Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 174,126 Likes: 8 | Balthazar
The young man, relatively tall and lanky, followed Bern in, glancing at the "tuffs" with a firm eye and then ignoring them. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,057 Likes: 12 (Buffalo) Moderator | | OP (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,057 Likes: 12 | DM
The stairs are only wide enough for two and the man steps right into the middle of the landing blocking the way forward. He places a hand on Bern's chest to stop his progress while his companions stand up and move closer, filling in behind him. It is clear you will not be able to enter without these men stepping aside.
"Private club, puppy. You're not welcome." His friends chuckle.
"Oh wait! I'll tell you what. How about if you and your skinny friend there just hand over all of your money and equipment and then we'll let you in?" He grins, showing dirty, broken teeth.
"Or, even better, how about you just hand over your stuff and we'll let you leave?"
The sounds of laughter and raucousness from inside seem more muted suddenly and some loud voices carry to the outside.
"Another round, Grista!" A loud male voice shouts, echoed by more voices of agreement.
"You didn't pay for the last one. You'll get no more until I see some coin!" Comes a gruff reply. It is a deep, but clearly female voice.
"Hey! I think I hear coin arriving outside." Another cries. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,498 Likes: 12 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,498 Likes: 12 | <Bern>
He sighed when the pretend tuffs decided to make their entry ... difficult. He turned to his companion. "Do you think the drinks here will be worth the extra effort needed to kick their asses or should we find a place that would be happy to have out coin?"

He looked at the nearest one and shrugged.

"THAT is =their= problem", he said indicating the tuffs with a nod of his head. "My question is whether it is worth our time to trash these punks just so we can get a drink. I mean that place back up the road, while boring, would not scoff at our coin."

"Maybe you didn't hear me, puppy. You're not going anywhere now without handing over your stuff. So hand it over or we'll take it from you." The other 4 on the porch put their hands on their weapons and the noise from inside has ceased. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | [OOC: I know that Ryssa is a couple of blocks away but can she hear anything from that direction?] | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,057 Likes: 12 (Buffalo) Moderator | | OP (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,057 Likes: 12 | (OOC - No. If she remains outside and combat begins I'll let her make a Perception roll.) | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,628 Likes: 16 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 16,628 Likes: 16 | Luminmorn
He watches with interest. As the situation starts to deterioate he unlimbers his weapon. Evidently they were going to gather information the hard way. Hopefully they either didn't make too much noise or they could take the entire inn. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,498 Likes: 12 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,498 Likes: 12 | <Bern>
The 'talkative' one did not get to finish his attempted intimidation. As soon as the man's hand left his chest and began to move toward his shoulder, Bern took a half step forward and shoved the man with both hands then reached for his rapier. "I have never been one to suffer fools. How many of you want to die", he asked the others.

Bern steps back and puts a hand on his weapon. Immediately the closest three of the Redbrands grab at the scimitars they wear at their waists while the two at the back reach down to the floor to pick up crossbows.

He will attempt to cast a chromatic orb of fire at one of the men reaching for a crossbow, defensively if needed. His Ward ability will be activated by the spell being cast.
(Attack is 1d20+5 = 9. Damage is 3d8 = 8 Dice rollers hate me)

Balthazar, who was watching closely and waiting strikes first. A few short arcane words and a flash of fire shoots from his hand. Unfortunately it targeted the man's upper body and it strikes just as he bends down to grab up a crossbow from the ground, thus hitting the wall behind him and dissipating harmlessly.
The bandits move into action, the two in the rear firing at Balthazar while the one blocking the stairs strikes at Bern. The two other swordsmen climb over the railing and go after the target they believe to have shown himself to be the bigger threat, the spellcaster, Balthazar.
Bandits attack Balthazar (1) or Bern (2)
Zeim rolled d2,d2,d2,d2,d2 and got 1, 2, 1, 1, 1
The two swordsmen easily climb over the waist-high railing and dropping to the ground close with Balthazar. They strike with their Scimitars, both hitting the mage.
The one blocking the stairs, perhaps because he is facing an armoured foe, swings at Bern and misses.
Finally the two crossbowmen fire at Balthazar. One misses badly, but the other strikes perfectly, embedding it's bolt into Balthazar's chest (Crit!).
Bandits attacks
Zeim rolled d20+3,d20+3,d20+3,d20+3,d20+3 and got 14, 7, 21, 5, 23
Bandit damage on Balthazar = 4+4+10 = 18
Lingo is up. He and Luminmorn are about 30 feet away, hiding behind another building in the shadows. And yes, Lingo is successfully hidden.
Initiative order:
Balthazar - 22
Redbrands - 19
Lingo - 15
Luminmorn - 13
Ryssa - 13
Bern - 7
