And back I am. Exhausted, certainly, and may need a while for that to wear off, but I'm once more here to read and even write!

Should have been writing posts. Took part in D&D shenaniganry instead. Got to fix that tomorrow.

There's a lot of backlog here on my end. I'm trying my best to lessen it, but replies might be less frequent for a time. A welcome change from the nothing doing I went through though! Thanks partners!
Bio
I suppose it is about time for me to copypaste fill in some information about myself over here just as well. Only took me a few years to getting around to do it.
I am a married individual in my twenties from the country some people dare claim does not exist. The Finland conspiracy is an old joke, you can stop with it now. Not a native speaker of the English language by any means, though I did begin studying it exceptionally early for our country's standards. I suppose it was some sort of a test case. With that out of the way though, what more should I be saying here...
I like being nice to people. If one needs to ask why, well that alone is reason enough.
I play and Dungeon Master Dungeons and Dragons, both offline and in the past also over here.
I enjoy OOC chatter, be it planning the RP or a more casual exchange (not that RP'ing is that serious). I can make do without, but don't be afraid to talk to me.
Whatever the case, I'm here to have fun and hone my writing abilities!
I do think that should about cover it, yes.
Thanks for stopping by I suppose! I do also have a Discord account, but I prefer to start anything RP related on the site. At least with people I don't know from the past, that is! But hey, now if you are a longer time contact of mine and happened to read this, now you know and can ask!
Not letting the disagreement about methods slow them down, the party moved on towards their end goal, the keep with the surviving family in tow. The formation remained largely the same, Orchid and Parum remaining just a bit closer now thanks to Cuth's request of doing so in case some trouble would approach from behind them.
The dragon had retreated higher up into the sky, flying in circles as if patrolling above the town for some reason. The children seemed very interested in the creature and occasionally asked some questions from their parents, but were quickly shushed. This was not the moment to be curious, they were told and promised they'd hear as much as they could be told once they had made it to the keep. Somewhat content with the answer, their little voices did stay silent for a while, often not any longer than the next passing of the dragon.
It had been rather peaceful further away from the keep with just the two groups on their way, but now that they made it closer to the keep, there seemed to be more traffic. Most of these were spotted from quite far and they quickly vanished again between the houses, but all of them shared something in common: The groups they saw had kobolds in them... and there was this one bigger lizard they couldn't quite see from this far away. Probably for the best. To the groups horror, as Trear was peeking around the next corner they would presumably need to take, they came face to face with a kobold. A moment of surprise was shared between the two, before the kobold yelled something behind them: "Mobi re lyriki tenpiswo!"
Technically yes. Assuming the tactics are not changed, all players present should roll for stealth, with advantage. I'll move the game on tomorrow morning. Please excuse the sluggish pace on my part, I have had some other things to attend to.
Not looking too good, is it? Nevertheless, the party is still locked in conversation as far as I can tell, so I really cannot move it forward either. The loot is nothing too significant, but if you'd like I'll share it here:
The two now dead humanoids didn't have daggers on them, their choice of weapon being larger curved scimitars instead. There is very little else of interest... the kobolds seemingly took their only find with them.
We might still want to wait for @VKAllen, and besides as of now I have really nothing to declare other than the loot Orchid would have received. Feel free to interact some more.
The concealed attack of the front guard was highly effective, so effective in fact that it had a high potential of catching the two off-guard. The unleashed arrows found their targets with a mere second between them, Trear's piercing the right eye of the half-orc and Ashkar's sticking into the abdomen of the woman who had just begun to point their finger at something... The half-orc didn't even react but simply stumbled down while the other one took a few panicked breaths before hitting the ground.
The kobolds were perfectly aware of what was going on. They would be walking into an ambush of sorts if they continued on this path and there were at least two shooters. The telltale sound of a bow firing an arrow had come from over there on the right so as long as they'd choose the other way they could still get away. The nodded to each other and took off, with the one a little further back stopping for a mere half-second to pry the newly found prize from the half-orcs fingers before rushing to reach their partner. They didn't seem too interested to be involved any further.
This left Trear and Ashkar in the bushes next to the side road with Parum, Orchid and the villagers following behind, both barely seeing the commotion that had gone past so swiftly. The family they had in tow had decided to lag behind for a moment as to not show their position, but Linan was now slowly approaching the two with a look on her face that could be interpreted as: "Can we go yet?"
As unfortunate as it is to the pace of the game, I will be having to postpone my post to Sunday at earliest. I'm attending a convention for the weekend and did not bring my books with me due to space constraints.
