we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.


Tharr, son of Undarth, Barbarian


Tharr settled back into the bench on the wagon, the road was straight enough, and the mules were well trained, so there wasn't much to do at the moment.
Ul ma avhinguk change, avhe ma avheausan ukavaausan avhe ukame, he thought. Ride a wagon from point Alpha to point Beta, wait for something to jump out and beg to be kissed by his axe was not new.

Having a Kenku companion, that was new. Hard to get a read on him, but Alwyn had vouched for him, and Tharr had ridden with Alwyn enough to trust his judgement.

Alwyn was a good man, despite his need to hide behind armor. He listened to his ancestors, wise for a city man.

Tharr liked Urd, having seen him heal an injured human with spores. Quiet, unless you made the mistake of asking him about mushrooms.

Trixine and Thremish were good in a scrap too, and Thermish was fun to listen to by the fire. Trixine made a big deal about what
name you used for the moon, but Tharr didn't mind.

Bit more guards then one wagon should need. Rockseeker was either too free with his money, or he wasn't telling us something. Tharr had never met
a frivolous dwarf, and he doubted Rockseeker was the first.

The sun was out, the road lacked mud, and Tharr wasn't having to yell as a scared private, so far this was a good day.

Tharr, son of Undarth, Barbarian

Tharr is surprised by the appearance of the goblins, and combat begins before he can set the brake of the wagon, and dismount. Goblins attacking a wagon this well -guarded was new. He readies his axe and nods at Trixine's suggestion to take one alive and advances. For now he tamps down on the rage building within, if he unleashed his temper, none of the goblins would be captured.

"Keep an eye out for more, goblins don't attack in such small numbers."

Running towards the goblin that Trixine had marked to live, Tharr applies some Orcish charm to the situation, "reg poshat agh be ukpared!"**

** Failed Intimidation roll (rolled an 8 on roll20), and Orcish language that roughly translates to Surrender and live.

Tharr, son of Undarth, Barbarian

Tharr walks back to the dead horses after the goblin has been restrained, and begins examining the area for signs of whether Rockseeker and his escort are still alive, or if any of their belongings are still with the horses.

"Keep an eye out for more goblins, and search these corpses to see if they have anything from Rockseeker on them." He wonders if those that search the corpses will share the loot equally. This will be a good test of their character.

Tharr

Tharr leads the oxen off the main road and into the bushes and secures the oxen as best he can, then grabs his pack from where it had been secured on the wagon.

and then waits for Trixine and Urd to lead the way.


"Alwyn, I'd like to walk with our goblin friend and Hymn. Can you and Thremish make sure we aren't being followed?"

Tharr

Tharr rushes across the water and into the bushes, finally a goblin is in reach of his axe, he takes a controlled swing, and misses the goblin.

He can feel his Rage growing, but he keeps it in check for now. He will need that fire when they enter the cave, but he needed a clear head until then.

Tharr

Thar ignores the additional arrow, and even that some of the party has followed the fleeing bugbear. Only the insolent goblins before him existed, their refusal to give their blood to his axe and affront that can not be ignored, nor turned from. He would continue swinging, and eventually he would connect.

"Agreed, we should get these goods to their owners tonight, and then a rest at the inn is a good idea, then we can decide what is next for us. a warm meal and a few rounds of ale in the inn should let us listen into current news."

Tharr had noticed the looks the townsfolk had given him as they rode in, this was not a town accustomed to visits by those of Orc blood.

"It might be best if Thremish or Alwyn stayed with me while moving through this town. I'd rather not get entangled with locals that have scores to settle with Orckind."

Tharr

"The mine has been found?" Tharr realized that Gundrens life was probably safe for now, if not his limbs. If rumors of the mine had reached the occupants of Cragmaw Castle, his abduction could only mean they sought to torture the location from him.

"If the rest of you are willing to try to save Gundren, I think we can spare most of tomorrow to gather provisions and meet with his brothers. But probably not much more."

"Looks like we have 2 pressing issues, rescuing Gundren, and dealing with these redbands. I think before we make a decision on either we should meet with Gundren's brothers. If we don't know how to get to Cragmaw Castle, we can't rescue Gundren. Trixine, did you find out where the Redband's hideout is? If not, we might have to wait on them until they come into the town."

Tharr looks towards the sky, "Days getting on, Barthen would you meet us at Stonehill Inn for a round? Alwyn, should we head there now?"

Tharr grimaces at Alwyn's last words. "Been my experience, that when troops get stuck in coincidence, it usually ends in more arrows headed my way."

"An abandoned manor, that does present at least a lead."

A fire and warm food was very inviting, but with all the new "recruits" probably best to go easy on the beer.

"Aye, you be right lass." he says pleasantly, and then with a speed that suprises the brigands, Tharr's eyes gain a crazed look, and an a hint of a bear's brown fur grows along his arms, and then his great-axe is lodged halfway down the talkative brigand's torso.

As Tharr pulls his axe from the corpse a guttural, "Who's next?" is heard.

Last Rage used, critical success on axe attack. Looks like Urd and Hymns are up next.

Tharr is breathing heavily, and his arms are shaking, he looks around at the carnage. "Trixine you wandered around town the most, is there somewhere for us to hide or clean up? We can't go into the inn looking like this. Maybe Barthen will assist us? The authorities might believe us that the dead tried to mug us, but then again, they might not."

So yeah, Tharr is definitely not smart enough to think his way out of this, hoping someone else in the party is.

That sounds like a good idea Trixine. Perhaps the Good Sister can help smooth this over. Alwyn, just because we are the best fighters on this street doesn't mean much, I'd prefer to avoid trying to turn this village into a copy of what I left behind with the Orcs. Might doesn't make right. We should bring him along, maybe the Sister will have an idea on what to do with him." Tharr points to the unconscious brigand.

He will pull the other corpse over after speaking and do his best to be cover them up with their cloaks.
