01 - Market Day

Phadian

To Coin

"I was not suggesting we go there now, but at some point I must return to avenge my father. My father was a strong man and whatever killed him did so quickly and easily"

While the group is eating and talking they become aware of some sort of commotion towards the east end of the Market Square.

Rhegaer the Red

Rhegaer glances over to see what is causing the commotion. Unable to see anything from his position, he moves closer. Aware that some thieves like to use commotions as distractions while they pick pockets, he keeps one hand on his coin purse and the other on the haft of his axe.

Phadian

"It seems there may be some entertainment today!"

Phadian gets up and moves closer to the commotion to see what is going on.

Alrik

Alrik throws a few silver coins to the proprietor and follows his companions, his curiosity getting the best of him.

Whatever is going the murmuring is getting louder. Bailiff Watner comes crashing by the group just as you all started to rise. "Make way, make way, probably a drunken brawl that requires the gently touch of my cudgel." He quickly disappears into the crowd ahead.

Everyone's curiosity has gotten the better of them as they all push and shove forward to see what is going on..........

At that point the Militia Bell is wrung. Once, twice, and then with real force "CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG"
The crowd stops pushing and stands still not sure what to do. Here and there the party sees Miltia members and Watchmen snap to and take up the cry. "To Arms! To Arms! Everyone off the street!"

In the shadows of a nearby alley, a cloaked, dumpy, heavily-armoured figure stands suddenly still, listening intently to the urgent clanging of the bell...

Coln

*Runs up and gets out his crossbow*

"What's going on? Does something need shooting?"

Rhegaer the Red

Rhegaer makes sure he is out of everyone's way. He does not draw attention to himself by drawing any weapons, however.

Phadian

Follows Coin, "Strength in numbers, I will join you in seeing how we may aid."
