The Wild Side

[BenjaminTD6]

“My father… pounced at her.”

 

[phibglib]

"Ookay, so I guess I'll just repeat the question here. Was he provoked by her in some way?"

 

[BenjaminTD6]

“She tried to rob him”

 

[phibglib]

"Right. Fairly standard reason, it seems, gives me enough about the situation to know who I side with. That's all there is to the story? Or I mean, if there is more, it wouldn't change my decision, being a good person and all?"

 

[BenjaminTD6]

“Thats about it”

 

[MrMuffin]

Meanwhile, Oliver is sitting, rocking himself back and forth for comfort, catatonic.

 

[phibglib]

"Thanks. And... sorry for your loss. Here, take this for the info or whatever." Cerralei flicks a coin in the taverngoer's direction. She starts heading in Credere's direction. "Hey, fuckface! Who'dya think you are?"

 

[Got_Dead]

Credere drinks the contents of the mug, coughs it back out, and then throws it across the room. "Maybe I was doing the world a favor if no more drinks like...this are made..."

She turns to face the approaching challenger. "Why, I'm the fourth most wanted criminal this side of the continent. Probably. Who do YOU think you are? The town guard?"

 

[phibglib]

Cerralei looks genuinely offended. "Hell no! Do I look like someone who has very much respect for the law? But I do respect that people, you know, have a right to be alive and stuff. And I don't care if you're the most wanted criminal in wherever." She starts smirking. "All I see's someone who needs to let everyone know that she's the biggest, baddest bitch in the room, and thinks murdering innocent, defenseless civilians makes her look tough." The insult was laced with some of Cerralei's bardic magic, so if all went to plan, Credere would take some psychic damage from this.

 

[BenjaminTD6]

Credere curls in a fetal position and sobs

 

[MrMuffin]

Oliver shuffles to sit as far from Credere as he can.

 

[phibglib]

Cerralei looks at Credere with pity. "Yeah, okay. Cry it out, I'll give you one minute. And maybe, when you're done, why don't you get the fuck outta here. I don't wanna see you in this town again."

 

[BenjaminTD6]

After ten seconds the spell wears off

 

[Got_Dead]

Credere sits upright and claws at a nearby table for support. "You...you bitch. You put a damn spell on me." Credere's hand immediately reaches for the crossbow, hovering over it. After a few seconds, she lets the hand drop, and puts on a painful looking forced smile. Through clenched teeth, Credere spits out, "Okay. I'll leave this.....'town' and settle this like the chivalrous gentlemen we are. I hope to see you one day. Goodbye." She spins around and walks out the door of the tavern, barely hiding the seething rage bubbling at the surface.

 

[BenjaminTD6]

As you walk out of the door, you see a large group of animals running in your direction. Horses, dogs, even a couple elaphants all storm at you. A wolf bites a man, and he collapses to the ground, shifting into a wolf, getting up, and joining the pack.

 

[phibglib]

"Yeah," said Cerralei. "I did put a spell on you, and I'm not ashamed of it." Then, as Credere left, she looked at the rest of the people in the tavern and laughed nervously. "Right, so... really sorry you guys had to see that, but it's over now, everything's good! Except for the man that got murdered, I guess. Yeah. That's gonna leave a black mark on this whole day." She noticed someone who seemed particularly shaken up (Oliver). "Hey," she said softly as she approached him. "You feelin' alright?"

 

[MrMuffin]

I witnessed a man get murdered and an armed robbery, how am I gonna be ok?!

”Yep, I’m alright”, he says, correcting his expression.

 

[BenjaminTD6]

You two hear a commotion as the animals begin rushing towards you and people are screaming

 

[Got_Dead]

Credere, who's already pissed off from the earlier confrontation with Cerralei, decides to just fire into the group of animals with her crossbow.

 

[phibglib]

"Hold on. There's something... weird here. Is that a... Don't tell me that's a frickin' elephant!"

 

[MrMuffin]

Oliver takes a moment to reflect on how genuinely and utterly screwed they all are.

 

[BenjaminTD6]

[BenjaminTD6]

I am running from the animals and run into the tavern
“Everyone hold onto me i can tp us out of here”

 

[phibglib]

Cerralei pokes her head out the door. "Shit." She turns to everyone in the tavern. "Okay, new plan. Everyone needs to get outta here right now. And I mean right now!" And with that, she began rushing people towards the door.

 

[phibglib]

"New, new plan! We listen to this guy!"
