[Chaos/Anachren] chapter one: Anarchren's Discord

[Raganui Minamoto]

He grits his teeth just a bit, checking the price of clove at the stand before heading back to the shop. Gorwin will explain what happened and listen to the explanation. If it's some sort of discount, he'll nod and head to the meeting place. If it was just a mistake, he'll offer to pay for it at a discounted price since he could have just let it go.  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

You see that the price is thirteen gold pieces.
As you walk back into the shop you notice a wagon is pulled up in front of it and inside, is a man wearing the cloths of a rich merchant, he has the person that sold you on the ground attempting to break his arm.
As you enter he looks up and the person who sold it to you screams "That's him. That's him!"
The merchant gets off of the person and demands that you give the cloves back.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

"Oi, I bought them fair and square." If there was no price on them or if they weren't separate from other spices, he'll mention it, pointing out that it was the merchant's fault. If it was priced and separate, he'll inform the merchant that he was coming to pay some of the price, since he could have just not bothered returning at all once he found the mistake.

Either way, if the merchant decides to get violent, he will defend himself while yelling for help.  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

The merchant sneers at you and yells "I'll take no less then twenty gold for the trouble you've caused!"

You notice his mouth is starting to foam. things might be violent.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

"And I be paying no more than 7 now." He stares back with all the stubborness of a dwarf. One hand lowers towards his side as he speaks, thumb rubbing over the throwing axe held there. If the man charged him like a boar, then the axe would be sent to find his shoulder.  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

At that the man seemed to snap, he draws a short sword, and bellowing like a mad bear charges forward, with the intent to kill gleaming in his eyes.
The man gets up and wide eyed runs screaming out the door , "Guards! GUARDS!." You figure if you can hold him off the guards should be able to overwhelm him, providing they don't think your the one who attacked him.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

The dwarf just grunts and ducks low as he moves in, intent on getting inside the man's reach and springing up to drive his helmed head into the merchant's gut.

((Guess, combat starts. So, explain combat to me. We have to roll under or over our THAC0 on a d20? Or is it different?))  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

He swings his sword but misses, instead it is lodged between a water clock and a cage holding a panther.
Instead of trying to free it, he pulls out another sword from inside his robes.  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

{The same or over, however this guy only has an A/C of about 8 so he will be much easier to hit. }

You here the sounds of the guards coming, but you guess they wont be here for another few seconds.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

The sounds of the guards pulls him up short and he takes a defensive pose.

((don't think a 4 cuts it either way.))  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

Your aim is off and instead of hitting the merchant you run into a bag of flour.

{ Roll initiative. D10. }  

[Raganui Minamoto]

(Sorry, still on 3.5 for init terms)

He shakes his head, snorting. "Bloody stuff..." But it gave him an idea. He grabbed the bag and flung it at the merchant.  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

It hits the merchant square in the face. But as he is about to fall down, he knocks a barrel over, and it comes barreling at you, knocking you into a 10" by 7" container of water. Although you easily get out as the guards rush in, several of the seven guards faint as they see what they think to be some strange kind of dwarf sized muck monster.
The merchant has stopped breathing and his eyes have rolled into his head. As the foam also turns reddish~brown.

You are covered head to foot in sticky dough.


{{ Its the monster from the flour lagoon =p.. Sorry i couldn't resist. }}  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

Ralkoth walks in apparently to buy some of the supplies he mentioned, and at the sight of you and the fainted guards he doubles over laughing.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

"Bloody hell, someone help that man and help me get this bloody mess off of me!"
