Introductions may need to wait.  I think Matthias ran into something.  let us gather him and then proceed to the girl.

Vindsval exits the way Matthias did, listening for clues as to where he went.

Preferring to let the party leader handle client contact, and beginning to be annoyed by the ruckus, Matthias raises his eyebrows to Dwinlas and gives a pointed look behind the bar, then heads that direction to see what's going on, hoping the other hero would join him.

Thalion catches the glance from Matthias and speaks to Teddy, "Excuse me mister Leseig for the interruption, but there seems to be some sort of trouble back there. I'll just pop in there to make sure everything is alright..." He heads towards the back room.

I am Nerwen Calmcacil. I... Nerwen stops as she hears Matthias' call I will be right back. as she heads out back to find Matthias and Vindsval.

My post from this morning seems to have just not gone through.

"All this armour is rather uncomfortable," I mutter. Swapping the Darksteel Armour for the Cloak of the Grand Vizier. I also remove the Soul Link Chain and select the Alchemist's "Instant Items" trait, before following the party.

"My apologies, Mister Leseig. Some of these new heroes...they get themselves into trouble easily. I had better excuse myself with them and see what the commotion is all about." I say, before leaving.

[Waterbrick Down]

So through the back door our heroes did burst
Their weapons were ready, prepared for the worst

A scene most astounding, most dastardly vicious
Demonic baked goods looking mean not delicious

I Dual-Strike the Sour Plum Fairy from the Front Row.

I'm pretty sure different QMs have ran it differently, but am I allowed to target the Sour Plum Fairy and Dual-Strike the enemy above her, or can it only be the enemy below her?

[Asphalt]

OOC:  I think it is same enemy twice or  enemy and next below.

love the flavor of this quest so far.

Well then Matthias, what exactly have you kicked up here?

The giant hefts his lance and readies his shield.  Time to test the veracity of your new enchantments.

"Well, the barman seemed rather in need of a hand, and I felt rather in need of a drink, but this masked baker of wintery doom claims the barman is his father, so I have no idea." Matthias winks up at the Half-Born and prepares to attack Gingerdead Man B from the back row.

Thalion casts a light spell at Gingerbread Man A (and B), from back row.

If Enchantment is rolled, he will enchant his weapon.

OOC: Thank you for your patience everyone - I finally got my computer back. So, as far as I am concerned, this should be a smooth sailing from now on.

"So what exactly was that ruckus that we heard and why did they attack us when we entered?" Thalion asked, as he prepared for the first attack.

"Near as I can tell, Mister Emo with the Rolling Pin smashed a hole through the wall and was in the process of terrorizing our barman... I'm sure things aren't quite as they seem, since they never are, but he made it sound like the barman wouldn't be coming back if I let the two of them have their chat." Matthias indicates the barman hiding behind the barrels.

I can understand the power of a quarrel with a parent, but this seems a little extreme.  

"Extreme? Would you call abandonment of ones own flesh and blood extreme? If so then you need look no further than this wretch of a man!" The masked man points to the cowering bartender.

As the cold rushes in through the gaping hole in the wall, the battle begins. Seeing the strength of his opponents, the Necrobaker quickly combines a variety of ingredients from a pouch at his side and summons another Sour Plum Fairy that Vindsval barely dodges out of the way of. Thalion unholsters Alpha and Omega and fires off piercing bolts of holy energy at the two zombie cookies. Seeing an opportunity, Matthias tries to finish off the monsters with a shot from his cannon, but he is taken aback by the resilience of the Gingerdead men as one pounces on the gnome leaving a bloody bite upon the druid's arm and growing stronger at the same time. Monk Pretzel, confident in his allies ability to hold the line, takes a quick moment to upgrade his weapon. Thinking the Party may be in some trouble, Nerwen prepares a blood ritual, but the spell proves unnecessary as the group fairs fairly well in their first bout.
