Busy chewing on a piece of breaded meat, Dhalgren had his eyes idly on the stage as he watched another person step on to the central podium. Stuffing the ;last of the morsel in his face and shaking his hands free of crumbs, he waited along with the crowd for the man to speak. It was thus that he and everyone else nearby heard the piercing scream shock through the silence. At first Dhalgren didn't do anything stunned by the sudden sound, his mind taking a second or two to process what that meant. The quick repeat of another scream shocked him into action, and he spun his head about trying to get a glimpse of what was going on. His hands tightened on his halberd, bringing it in a ready position close to his chest. After a moment he watched the crowd part rapidly, to reveal the rushing of a group of goblins chanting a song with their rough voices. He saw as most ran away in fear, leaving only a few of them standing to face the nearest threat, a trio of the particular beasts invading the town. He wondered why there was no town guard as well, hearing the words from the other man nearby. [hider=Rolls][url=http://orokos.com/roll/178009]Initiative (21)[/url][/hider]
