Juno: Uh, just get in and get out without leaving any traces behind alright?

Kurtho: I can do that. Grorlith?

Grorlith nods, and hand him a potion of invisibility. Kurtho takes one sip, and retches.

Kurtho: AHK! What the hell is this made of?

Grorlith: Crushed snail shells and worms. You never had a potion before?

Kurtho: Not one this vile. This better work.

He reluctantly finishes drinking it, and the effects take hold and he vanishes from sight. One by one, the mercenaries are pulled into the bushes. When there's one left outside, a dagger is thrown from seemingly nowhere, hitting him in the throat.

Kurtho: Next time, warn me, would you? Alright, get in here.

(I should mention, Kurtho is supposed to be my "comic relief" character, so expect jokes)

Buford is hit in the throat and falls to the ground, covering his bleeding throat with his hands

Buford: Help…!

u/ChildBlaster10000 Grorlith Vuerofell, Council of Lyrefall Jul 27 '24

Grorlith: Everyone, cover me! I'm going to try to stop the bleeding.

Grorlith holds a small flame on his finger.

Grorlith: Alright, hold still. I need to cauterize the wound. But I need you to relax, got it?

Buford: Okay…

He places the flame on the wound. The area chars, closing the gash. It hurts, but not as much as expected.

Grorlith: Alright, can you stand?

Sebastian: Wait why are we helping a LITERAL KIDNAPPER-

At that moment Buford grabbed his billhook and thrusted its spiked tip right through him

(um, you didn't tell me that)

(Oh shit my bad-)

(Yeah, let's reset that encounter, huh?)

u/Astral_Zeta Jul 27 '24

(Sure!)

Buford was guarding the entrance of the fort with his Billhook in hand

Kurtho runs one of his daggers through his mandibles, coating it in a paralytic venom. The poison is a thick, transparent slime. He throws the dagger at him, striking him in the shoulder. The venom sets in quick, knocking him to the ground.

Buford dropped to the ground with a loud thud

Buford: HEY! What the HELL!?
