Kal found that he could not exit. "Bloody crowd," he cursed under his breath. He saw Tjaden get on the platform. "Another green piece of scum opposes us," he said to the random man beside him. Just another face in the crowd. He wanted to rile this crowd up for his own pleasure. As the crowd began to react, and Tjaden distracted the people. He snuck towards the back of the stage. A wooden cage..... hmmmm. If he could undo the normal lock on it, maybe he could free the little green ally without an incident arising.
He, after getting to the back of the stage, attempted to undo the lock. He figured the little dude could fight his way past the group if given a weapon and the ropes on his ankles and wrists were cut. He'd ask Tjaden for one of his two swords after the little Orc's rescue. "You can handle a sword and a crowd of hating humans with 5 ally's by your side, right?" he asked the Orc light heartedly. He found this to be fun.

The crowd gasps and blanches as the orcish knight climbed onto the platform. The prosecutor takes a step backwards but remains firm in his stance.
"Look now! Another collaborator of the savage!" He cried out.
"He's come to free the other!" yelled a frightened citizen.
"Call the guards!" shouted another.
The tension seemed to be mounting on the verge of exploding. More and more frightened whispers and conversations began appearing as people remarked upon the appearance of the second orc.
Suddenly however, a paladin from the Temple District pushed his way to the front of the crowd.
"This orc is under the endorsement of the Grand Patriarch, he is no conspirator to whatever crime this other orc may or may not have committed."
The crowd's murmurs increased twofold at the proclamation and their gaze returned to the prosecutor.
"If he is not in league with this orc, then he is irrelevant to the current sentencing of this one. Justice will be upheld for those who were harmed!"

Tjaden turned to the prosecutor and pointed an accusing finger at the man.
"There is no justice here, only hatred! You speak of crimes commited, where is the evidence? Where are the witnesses?" Tjaden turned to the crowd. "Has anyone actually seen this warrior wreak such crimes upon innocents? What you have here....what you all have here, is the dark heart of violence. If you burn this man without trial and without true justice, all you will have is more violence. Where is your fair judge? Instead you have a Rabble Rouser! Where is your impartial jury? Instead you have a mob! There is no justice here!" The Orc said. He did not move, not forward as a threat nor back. He would even try to stay his ground should an attempt be made to force him back.

The prosecutor was at a loss for words.
"I- He... He is a monster who should burn for the crimes his and your own entire race has committed! If you choose to stand with him, then you deserve death as well!"
"Yes! Death to the greenskins!" cried out five other fanatics.
At this point, Kal had managed to free the imprisoned orc's bindings, now allowing him to force his way out of his captivity (if he so chooses).
"This perversion of justice will not go unanswered by the sons of Balpheron! You will not fight alone, good orc!"
The five fanatics and the prosecutor drew their swords and began attacking Tjaden and the paladin of Balpheron. The sight of battle caused the crowd who had appeared out of curiosity or entertainment to flee in fear, the majority disappearing into their homes.
Two fanatics engage the paladin. Two others engage the party. The prosecutor and one other attacks Tjaden, Kal and the orc prisoner.
3-6 The paladin is hit for moderate damage. The prosecutor strikes Tjaden for minor damage. Erron avoids the attacks of the leading pair.
7-12 The assisting paladin is hit for minor damage. The prosecutor misses his attack. Erron dodges and counters one of the leading pair for minor damage.
13-17 The assisting paladin deals minor damage to the assaulting duo. The prosecutor loses his balance and is vulnerable to attack. Erron dodges and counters with a sweeping kick, hitting the leading pair for minor damage.
18 The assisting paladin gets a burst of divine energy and strikes down one of his two attackers in a single strike! Tjaden anticipates the prosecutor's fragile assault and deals moderate damage through an elbow to the neck of the man. Erron incapacitates one of the two attackers!
Results:The assisting paladin is hit for minor damage. The prosecutor misses his attack. Erron dodges and counters one of the leading pair for minor damage.

Kal was tiring out. All this work was wearing on him, and all without rest. "Tjaden, the big green guy, has a second sword. Just ask him for it," he added to the freed prisoner. Kal attempted to disppear into the crowd, much like he'd fade into the shadows anywhere else.
((Can I do that? I was curious about that,))

((No you cant Kal, there is no more crowd sweatdrop ))
The spectacle has undergone an evolution Erron was afraid of: They still had business within the city and he did not think that a brawl in the middle of the streets would be well considered by the Mage Tower or the Protectorate Knights, he took a stance to protect Laren and Selce whom had little in their arsenal that was non-lethal, fanatics though they may be, they were still citizens of Haven
"Aw hell, so much for being discreet" he swore to himself and those around him. "Would it have killed you guys to take him before the Council of Haven? Don't you see that there is something larger at work here?" He ducked a swing of one of the over-zealous villagers and struck another in the stomach with an open palmed strike, the man backed away several steps and coughed uncontrollably having had the wind knocked out of him, Erron stood tall and continued "Even the Elves and Dwarves, who had been at peace through mutual respect have begun to war! Did you think even for a second that a spectacle such as the one you have made could be happening this very moment in an Orcish village?"
He rushed forward two steps starting on the left foot to knee the first of the pair in the groin

Selce frowned in concentration through her exhaustion and began a FEAR spell on the five fanatics attacking Tjaden and the Paladin. She pulled out the necessary animal bone and with a spin and twitch the spell was done. She hoped it would work, if not someone would likely die in the fighting.

"I need no weapons." Brurag said to the man who had freed him.
Letting off a savage grin, the orc threw his body against the cage almost as if he were an animal, easily bursting through the wooden bars.
He stood and let out a roar, excited about his freedom and a chance for revenge on these mongrels for what they did to him. He immediately threw himself into the fray, letting out another battle cry as he did. Running straight for the prosecutor, he grinned with the worst intentions as he swung his arms out balled into fists and then swung them hard together, hoping to smash in the prosecutor's head by striking his temples hard enough.

((Dang, well then,))
Kal found they all seemed to be in a fury. He slid through the violent streets as quickly as he could, defending himself by dodging and his shortsword hitting some shots away.
He looked for the poor outfit of a beggar. ((Got the theme yet? Haha. I have a goal.))

Tjaden refused to draw his sword. Instead, he used his shield to block.
"Cease this bloodshed. Any harm done here is a violation of your own laws! You must withdraw!" Tjaden yelled as he deflect the blows with his shield.
When he saw the other Orc charge, he yelled in their language/
"You must stop, brother Orc. If you die here, your body will be left to rot and you will bring dishonour to your memory. There is no glory to be one here by fighting common guards and helpless underlings. Save your strength for true warriors!"

The Brawl continues (((FACEPALM)))
1-4: Tjaden barely blocks the assault, takes minor damage, The Paladin is hit for minor damage, Brurag's strike misses and he injures his hands in the process, Erron misses his target but deflects incoming blows for minor damage and Selce's effects only one of the five.
5-10: Tjaden effectively blocks the oncoming blows, the paladin parries the assault of the man facing him, Erron's blow misses but he is unharmed, Brurag's blow hits but the effect is minor damage, Selce's spell effects two of the fighters, the men facing Brurag and the Paladin.
11-18: Tjaden blocks all incoming attacks, Erron's knee finds the sweet spot and brings his opponent to the ground incapacitated for the next round. Brurag's blow concusses his opponent leaving him defenseless for the next round, the Paladin strikes his opponent with the hilt of his sword causing moderate non-lethal damage, Selce's spell effects three of the five zealots, the second man Erron is facing, Tjaden's and the Paladin's
19-20: Before the fight continues any further Selce's spell effects all five men who flee the scene before any more fighting is done. (I'd prefer if we rolled this particular outcome.)

Laren looked around and sighed. There was little she could do that would be non-lethal to the foolish fanatics so she diecided to draw her blades and simply move to disarm those that had weapons.
Zeus also moved in, swooping down to attack some of the offenders and distract them enough so that they made a mistake.

The man whom Brurag intended to crush the skull of got the point rather quickly under the influence of Selce's fear spell, he turned and fled with his head still upon his shoulders, The two men facing Erron, Selce and Laren, The man fighting the paladin and The remaining man assaulting Tjaden remain

Kal began to distaste this battle and began to slice at nearby assailants. "Come on! We fight 4 dragonoids, a dragon boss, and still have problems fighting humans?" he asked the group. They were being defensive, he was going to go on the offensive.

Pressed into the fight next to the paladin, Tjaden continued to defend, not wanting to harm the human citizens.
"This incident will not go unnoticed by your leaders." Tjaden screamed to their assailants. "Do you wish to face your superiors and admit that blood was spilt when you drew swords first and initiated combat? Stand down and pursue justice with honour not violence!" Tjaden would do his best not to harm the instigators of this combat. He instead tried as hard as he could to convince them to stop fighting.
