"..." The Justiciar seemed more like a simpleton shoved onto the stage than a Bandit leader. But, still... One can never tell...

"I agree with my flying comrade. We shouldn't speak of such things in the open." Rhaun spoke as he walked towards the Justiciar and handed him the letter he had received. "Besides, I think these people had enough excitement for the morning. Don't you agree, Sir?"  

[PupSage]

Guards meandered his way to the village, 'Now they rush to get there ...' he removed his shield and placed it on his back, then waded into the streets, towering over the crowd. "Pardon me. Excuse me. Please make way." He only moved forward when there was room to, and he moved a step at a time, like a dance, one step, bring the other foot to meet it, one step.
Once he made his way to the group he stopped, relaxing and sending a burst of dust up.  

[Alzzak]

Basking in the glow of fear, Bahl walked through the town. Letting the puny
people move out of his path.

Justiciar Orv Rustbeard

Rustbeard would take the letter and peer at it. "Yep, yep, that sure is my name there," he would say. He doesn't look at it very closely and hands it back.

His two guards suddenly point at the approaching Warforged. "Uh, sir...?" says the woman. "There's a... metal... uh... person?" They cough as the cloud of dust swirls around them, and they back up.

Rustbeard stares at Guards the Door, then blinks after a minute. "You people just keep getting weirder..." he mutters. "All right, all right, let's head back to my office. We can talk this over in a jiff and then you can get on with your business. In fact--"

The sudden sound of scared voices would reach the group now, as people in Bahl's way scatter in fear. A family of halflings hides in some bushes, and a human man turns pale and darts into a building. The peaceful calm of morning in the village is broken, and the farmers are fleeing. A steely look comes into Rustbeard's eye as he spies Bahl, and he suddenly pushes past Rhaun, Cymbre and Guards the Door to intercept him. His guards follow him, watching their leader for the signal to fight.

"Hey now! Stop right there! Don't start any trouble, now; we have the Sapphire Stand here! Not to mention me and my friends." He would plant himself in front of Bahl, his face suddenly very serious. His two guards would flank him, watching tensely, but none of them has drawn a weapon yet. "State your business," Rustbeard would say, "as well as why it involves frightening my compatriots."  

[PupSage]

Looks to Bahl and then to Rustbeard, "He is our last member. His overbearing stature, but comparatively small brain, necessitates a need for him to overcompensate by seeming threatening, but truly he is innocuous over all until pointed at a threat." He looks back to the others, "Or so I hope."  

[Kowsauni]

Cymbre would roll her eyes. "Ugh, really Ball-Grow. Can you like not make us appear like villains? Terrorizing villagers is kind of like the opposite of being a member of the Sapphire Stand. Seriously, how did you get pass the interview"

The bugbear's behavior reminded Cymbre of her old self. Seeing it from the outside made her realizes how childish it must have made her appear, at least to those who did not run in fear. "Let's just get inside so we can talk about the mission."  

[Alzzak]

"I Bahl-gro of Safire Stand. I be looking for Rustbeard and testing how fast puny people would run to safety and get help. Warning system need help." Bahl would state as his answer, but the part he left out... it was fun. Placing his ringed hand over his chest the goblin let out a hearty laugh.

Truing his attention to answering Cymbre's question, "I battled orc horde and slew bear to save a village. Safire Stand people fought with. Both were glorious battles."  

[SCN_ Grey_fox]

Rhaun would rush to put himself between Rustbeard's crew and Bahl-gro. "Like it or not, Sir. Although I disagree with his entrance he is a member of my team. And you have my promise if he truly wished these people harm the other members of my team, my self included, would deal with him, harshly." He tried to talk down the tension.

(Bahl-gro 7foot 2inches
Guards-a-door 6foot 6inches
Cymbre Not sure
Rhaun 5foot 7inches
I don't think diminutive is the proper adjective to describe the goblin.)

((This is a lie. I rolled you a Bluff check in the dice rolling thread. Your result was 6.

Rustbeard and his guards are obviously unconvinced that you were testing their warning system.))

((Since you're trying to convince everyone to calm down, I rolled you a Diplomacy check in the dice rolling thread. Your result was 18.

Rustbeard and his guards take a deep breath and seem to calm down.))  

[PupSage]

((Made a small edit, didn't realize goblin was meant to be goblinoid, ie bugbear. Seeing as goblin normally refers to a goblin, the creatures bread by hobgoblins, and not bugbears, the OTHER creatures bred by hobgoblins. rolleyes corrected.))

Begins to make his way towards the office. Still trying to look at the letter as he walks, holding it to the light coming from a window, trying to figure out what has been written over.

Guards the Door can see, in the impression of the lit up paper, what name lies under Rustbeard's.

((Normally I wouldn't let you make another check to do the same thing you already failed at after such a short time has gone by... But you crit your check so I'll allow it this time xd ))

Justiciar Orv Rustbeard

Rustbeard would narrow his eyes at the bugbear, but he clearly saw the ring. That, combined with Rhaun's words, made Rustbeard take a breath and step back. "I'm counting on you, human," Rustbeard would say sternly, then he turns on his heel and gestures for everyone to follow him. "Come on, come on, it's just up this way. I'm sure you've lots to do, so lets make this quick."

His guards would follow along with him, sneaking glances at Bahl as they went along. They have distrustful looks on their faces, but they don't say anything. After a short distance, Rustbeard dismisses them. "Go and check on Mr. What's-his-name, you know, that rock farmer. He's in need of some muscle I think. If I need you, I'll send Deo." They mutter affirmations and take their leave.

Rustbeard would lead the party only a few blocks away to a tiny building that looked as if it had once held farm equipment. He shoves open the door and a shower of dust comes down. The inside is small and cramped, packed full of shelves groaning under the weight of books, boxes, and papers. Two desks are inside the room--at one is seated a tiefling man who is looking out the window, and at the other a human who is writing. The tiefling looks up as the party enters, but the human does not. Neither says anything.

Rustbeard goes to a door across the room, and opens it. It leads to a tiny office, mostly bare, into which he squeezes. "Come on in," he says to the group, "I only have one chair and that's for me, but there should be enough room for everyone to stand." He looks everyone up and down. "Tall people in the back."  

[PupSage]

Guards lags behind and stops to ask a stranger, "Who is Da vy Hom e sp un?" He points to the letter. "Previous justicar?" Once answered he will stand and walk after the group.

The halfling man you've stopped seems a little weirded out by your looks, but he stops at your question. "Who?" He squints at the letter, clearly not seeing what Guards is indicating.

"Da vy hom..." Suddenly his face lights up. "Oh, Davey Homespun? That's my uncle! He's the mayor of this village. He's sick in bed in Shining Tree last I heard, but Mrs. Snowscale said he's recovering. Oh, she runs the inn here, by the way, The Noble Wing."

((So now that you've been answered I'm assuming you're with the rest of the party, like you wrote you would be.))
