While Alderan chats with Coinstone and Novalia, Ameiko approaches the group. "I thought you might be interested in meeting another of our heroes. This is Ciara, she was fighting on the otherside of town. Saved a fair few folk. I know you're still interested in the going ons around here, and maybe she'd like to help."
@chair, you're free to join in and introduce yourself now. A bit of background. You're in the town of Sandpoint where there was a festival you were attending that was interrupted by a goblin raid. Yoy helped chase off the goblins with some tomnspeople and were offered free lodging at the Rusty Dragon for a week by the owner Ameiko, who just introduced you to the party.

Figit looks up at the newcomer. Welcome! Yes, we fought some of the goblins in town. It was quite the unexpected start to the festival, wasn't it?

Coinstone looks around with some surprise on his face, Wait, that wasn't planned? I thought that was part of the fun. It was my favorite part......Explains everyone's reactions.

Figit laughs and shakes her head. Oh Coinstone. No, the butterflies were planned but the nasty goblins definitely were not.

Alderan looks agog at Coinstone. "What sort of place do you come from that potential death by goblin is considered fun?"

Alderan looks agog at Coinstone. "What sort of place do you come from that potential death by goblin is considered fun?" Death by goblin? HA! Those little ankle biters didn't stand a chance against us. I didn't even have my shield and they couldn't land a single swipe from those rusty sticks they call swords. Coinstone nudges Fidgit and winks, Back home, we have surprise attacks as part of training. Keeps us sharp. Coinstone looks around the table and puts the rock he carries on his belt on top of it. Gygax here has been around for ages. He can tell you about more battles than anyone has ever heard of, if you know how to hear him that is.

I imagine they try to keep the murder to a minimum during festivals, dampens the spirits a bit. Novalia chuckles. She turns to look at Gygax curiously, What is it exactly? If you don't me asking, its obviously no ordinary rock.

What, Gygax? He's not an it, he's a he. His name is Gygax. He's a rock, and he's very wise. For instance, he knows that to go boar hunting, you ride out on horses. And he knows that dwarves and horses do NOT mix well.

Oh, Gygax has been in the family for generations. He always wants to go out and see new things, so when the family heard about the bet and that I'd be out of the mountains for a while, they asked me to take him with me. So here we are, hoping for something interesting.

Alderan shifts a little in his seat looking a bit uncomfortable. "So, boar hunting?"

Ay. Boar hunting. Dwarves and horses don't mix, but I'll tag along if the rest of you go.

Figit grimaces at all the talk of hunting. While Peetree would be happy for some boar meat, I won't be joining the hunt. I find no sport in hunting forest friends.

Im going to have to say no as well unfortunately. I have a few things to attend to, though the offer is appreciated. Novalia gives him a small smile.

Alderan looks a little dejected. "I understand. If you change your mind, you know where to find me, my lovely." He finishes his meal and then gets up to leave.

After he leaves, Coinstone looks at the faces around the table, making eye contact with each in turn. So, he begins, stopping with Ciara, more challenging, heh? Like maybe a tribe of goblins? Who's in?

Coinstone directs his attention towards Sister and Novallia. You two got on with Sheriff. Did he mention any bounty or anything of the like? And are you two in for the hunt?

After Alderan leaves, the party is left alone to finish their breakfast for the most part, though the occasional patron will come up and thank them for helping with the goblins, calling them "the heros of Sandpoint." As Ameiko starts to come over to clean up the dishes, the door slams open and a surly looking man stalks into the Rusty Dragon. He looks around, and bellows out "哪里是我的女儿"Translation below if you speak Minkaian{Spoiler}Where the Hell is my daughter?

Coinstone looks over at the man. Why is it that humans have so many languages? He glances at Sister and Novalia. All dwarves speak Dwarven, same language across all the nations; dialects I'll grant you, but the same. Why do humans always have to complicate things? Coinstone does not say this quietly, uncaring if the man (or anyonne else) hears him.

Figit looks with confusion at the stranger, then turns back to the group. I agree with Coinstone, extra languages just complicate things. I know a fair number as it is, but humans have so many!

The man scans the room as everyone else falls silent. He looks directly at the table when Coinstone makes his comments. He stalks over and starts ranting "And who are you to tell me what to do? A bunch of vagrants and scoundrels whose antics endangered the lives of the townsfolk? I've heard of you so-called heroes. You'd better clear off an leave things to the trained professional next time. We don't want or need your kind here!"

Coinstone stands up and squares off with the unknown man. I am a professional. And I'll give you a count of three before I send you out of here missing a few teeth. His fist clenches and he refuses to break eye contact as he begins counting. One.....

Two, three..Coinstone quickly counts the last two numbers, his eyes narrowing as this man laughs at him. Then he swings for his midriff, He we go, buddy boy Attack with fist: 1d20+4 = 10+4 = 14 Damage (non lethal): 1d4+3 = 2+3 = 5

The man splutters backwards as Coinstone hits him hard. The man cries out "Assualt! This ruffian assaulted me! Call the guard, Summon the sheriff!"
Just then, Ameiko steps in between the two exasperation written all over her face. "Father, what on earth are you doing here?"
She glances back at the party "That wasn't wise. He's a noble you know. Hopefully you're current celebrity will help you somewhat."

You say unwise, I say he needed a lesson taught on basic manners. Nobles should know better, that's part of their purpose. If a punch is what it takes, I'll gladly do it agian. With that last bit, Coinstone gives the man a look and cracks his knuckles. Then he turns back towards the others. I'm going to get my gear, anyone want to come with me to find Sheriff?

Figit sighs and stands up. I'll come with you. We need to keep you out of trouble if we're going to get to the bottom of this goblin attack. Can't have you sitting in a cell because you hit the wrong noble!
If Figit wants to pull a prank on the guy as she passes by, like tie his shoes together, do I need to roll? How do I do that?

bonzo, that would be a sleight of hand check.Ameiko and her father argue in a strange language as the party begins to leave. After only a few terse exchanges, he attempts to grab her by the hair. She hits him with the laddle she still holds in her hand. He splutters and exclaims "You're as dead to me as your mother."
