"If you want... We could try to find the person who put the reward for your capture out there. I'm not sure who would even know about you, but whoever it is, if we see what they want, we can either confront them straight out, or maybe go along with them, depending on what it is they want... Only if that's what you want, of course. It's up to you. I won't make such big decisions with your life."
Rentok: Maddie looks at you and decides that trying to find why they want her is a good as a place to start.
Rockman18: As you attempt to sneak up to see into the cave, the horse whiney's as it starts forward. This brings a response from within the cave and you hear a mans voice as he calls to someone named Bruce. You can hear the guy heading toward the mouth of the cave.
I ready my crossbow and I call out that there's no need for anyone to get hurt that I'm just passing through. If there's any hostile actions towards me then I will fire my crossbow and then rush them to melee with my axe.
Roll for crossbow attack 1D20+2=13, damage 1D8=8
Of course I max the damage roll when I probably would miss the shot (laugh)
Rolls for axe attacks 1D20+3=17, 1D20+3=5, 1D20+3=14, 1D20+3=15
Damage rolls 1D8=8,7,1,6 respectively
OOC:I rolled for all those attacks since some most likely missed and didn't want to slow the action down if it turned out I needed to fight. I will probably do that if I think it might be necessary to help the story flow with fewer breaks. If it is or becomes a problem just let me know and I can wait for prompts from you if you would like.
Rockman18 You see a man coming out of the cave with a cross bow loaded and at the ready. HE looks your way and says that you are not just passing by if you have his horse and cart. He fires his crossbow at you. You are missed just like you miss him. He drops his cross bow and runs at you while drawing his short sword. The two of you meat in melee combat. The fight lasts four round before you win. You take 7 points damage.
OOC: I prefer you give me multiple rolls as it makes thins move easier.
Faerra nods, smiling slightly. "I don't think heading straight there would be the smartest thing. People who believe you've been captured might try to kill me to claim the reward for themselves. We should take a more... Scenic, route, I think."
I take a minute and try to bind my wounds if possible, after that I retrieve my crossbow get it loaded and ready and see if anyone else comes out of the cave. If no one else comes out then I will try and sneak in and scope out the situation.
OOC: If it seems feasible then I will repeat my standard attack sequence of ranged attack then rush to melee. I would rage if I need to melee.
Roll for heal 1D20+4=19
Move silently 1D20+5=10
Attack roll with crossbow 1D20+2=21, Damage 1D8=1
