Tales of Astonishment!

[Lix Lorn]

"Hey, no more attacking him til this kids thing is cleared up!" said Lix angrily, turning to the soldier, sand floating around him protectively. "Do you have any kids, sugar?"

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: "Not that I know of."

[Narmoth]

"I don't think he should be attacked at all"
Lachtan is now standing between Curn and the soldier, face towards Curn

[Woodsman]

"And what makes you say that?"

[Narmoth]

"The fact that he surrendered. Just as I stood up to prevent the attacks upon the patrons of this place, even though my actions were somewhat ineffective compared to a violent approach I will not let you harm someone who isn't fighting back"

[Woodsman]

"Very well, then," Einar shrugs.

[Lix Lorn]

She giggled.
"He has a sense of humour. Let's keep him!"

[Narmoth]

"Thank you, I'm happy that we could come to an agreement" he turns slightly towards the soldier
"I'm sure you can answer some questions before you leave though: obviously we want to know more about the officer in charge, as well as if he'll try to pursue us, the victims, rather than the criminal you were searching for in the first place""

[Woodsman]

"I don't think the man would appreciate us keeping him as a pet," Einar says to Emily.

[Rannil]

"Shouldn't we be more worried at people blowing holes in this building then the possibility of a guy we easily could defeat returning? Raise your hand if you went full power on that bossy guy."

[Dr.Epic]

Narmoth: "Hey, I don't know anything! You're the guys that killed my commanding officer. I should be asking you questions."

[Narmoth]

"Sure. Except that I'm the one who knows how to count, and you obviously don't. You're one. Count how many we are, and then think about who should answer first"

(OOC: are we using core or rich's rules for diplomacy?)

[Dr.Epic]

narmoth: "His name is Colonel Griff Brightsword. We were sent he in arrest probably those criminals that just left in that cart. As for him tracking you down, I doubt that's possible seeing as how you killed him."

[Lix Lorn]

"Didn't you see the gnome?" she asked.

[Dr.Epic]

Lix Lorn: "What gnome? I was blinded by your friend there."

[Narmoth]

"Well, do you see any corpse? No corpse, no crime. And that your commander decided to strip out of his armor to retreat is disturbing, but should place no guilt on us"

[Dr.Epic]

"Whatever, I'm leaving before you guys decide to kill me." The guard starts walking away.

[Narmoth]

"I think we should follow his example and leave this place as well" Lachtan smiles

[Dr.Epic]

just bumping

[Rannil]

OOC: Dunno what to do... plunder and loot I guess.

Edwardine searches through the rubble of the building and the pockets of dead mans and robot-golems looking for any valuable.

(1d20+4)[6]

Edit: that looks like epic loot

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: You search through the rubble. You find only a few gold pieces; 11 gp.

in the front of the bar, there are halflings playing around with Griff's exoskeleton. You also see a new whole blasted into the bar. A new character stands in this whole.

[Narmoth]

(OOC: whole, vole or hole?)

[Rannil]

OOC: I think he means a whole hole, maybe a vole is escaping from it, but a whole hole indeed.

Not in a trusting mood, Edwardine studies the new character.

((I just realized this says "Tales of Atonishment, not Astonishment. How much atoning will we be doing?))

Einar also studies this new character. "Who're you?" he asks

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: The guy looks like this:

Woodsman: The person says "Oh, don't mind me. I was just hearing all the explosions and didn't want to be left out. It sounded like fun."

[Narmoth]

"Right..." Lachtan sighs
"At least I'll get out of here before I get some of your crazy on me"

[Dr.Epic]

narmoth: You leave the bar. A large crowd of people stands outside it wondering and asking what is going on with all the explosions.

[Rannil]

Edwardine follows Lachtan outside, for no other reason then the fact he is a PC interesting.

[Dr.Epic]

Rannil: You continue to be in a fuss about all the explosions. They look worried. They heard imperial forces were here.
