Alright, I've caught up now. You guys seem to be in the midst of being held up by a group of guards. From what I can tell, a woman is dead (is it night time?) and only 3 players are at the scene. I could use a summary of this scene because I don't understand what's going on (why is the woman dead? Who else is here? What time is it?)

Since I don't know what's going on, I won't jump in until I understand it better. But I can always have my character join up the old way: by meeting you guys at an inn.
