World Converged: 3
Journal Entry 3: Wedding Crashers
The well-dressed gentleman/crook repeated he would like us to all hand over our possessions.
I’m still not fully sure what was going through Encore’s mind, but they just wandered up to the guy, slapped their hand on his shoulder and tried casting a spell! Gotta hand it to him. That takes guts, stupidity, but also guts. When that didn’t work, he then head-butted the guy! Stupid and guts in spades, that one… but again, the guy was completely unfazed by the attack. Just who is this guy?
Seraph got involved too, as her spooky ghost “children” started running around them as well.
The guy seemed totally nonplussed by all this. He actually seemed more interested in us as a group, outright saying that we might be far more entertaining that actually carrying on with the robbery.
As some sort of test, or maybe just for his own entertainment, he told his goblins to ignore the other guests and to forget the robbery and just kill us!
It was a bit of a chaotic fight. Ty and his echo bouncing around the place, swapping back and forth. Seraph using her spirit powers to charm and blind the goblins. Encore and Goodflower don’t seem the most experienced in fighting, with the satyr having trouble getting a purchase with their dagger, and Goodflower just stood there as a goblin approached him! Thankfully, I took it out before it could hurt him.
Encore eventually put the dagger away and stared using their magic, putting several goblins to sleep.
Ty somehow ended up riding one of the wargs. The pair chased down and tore a goblin apart.
I killed 4 goblins and a warg. (8)
When there were only 2 goblins standing, the Gentleman stood up and announced an end to the fight. They introduced himself as Raphael Patron, and stated that we were “indeed, very interesting.” … weird! He promised we would see each other again down the line and bid us goodbye, before plane shifting away, not teleporting, PLANESHIFTING. This guy is obviously out of our league.
Once the dust settled, Benoit tore towards us and the surviving goblins, pulling out a dagger as he approached. Goodflower and Encore held him off as they believed they could get some information about Patron from him. Goodflower took a few portions of apple coated ham and offered them to the goblin. It took the meat from them and started gnawing. It told us that Patron had approached their camp and offered them food if they got involved with the heist.
With not much else to go with, Benoit raised his dagger again, trying to kill the goblin. In a last-ditch effort, Ty proposed hiring the goblin at the brewery. I don’t think I can really describe what was going on with Benoit’s face when Ty said that… it was a weird mix of wanting to burst out laughing, cry and unbridled rage. Francine swooped in at that moment of confusion to take Benoit away to calm down.
It was just us 5 left at the party. Ty and I had a look through the pile of gifts, seeing if anything was worth taking. It was just personalised bath towels and bread bins, nothing of any real value, so we left it.
We called it a day. Encore and I went back to the inn for the night, while everyone else went camping for some reason.
At the inn, Encore told me that Goodberry was upset that I had killed the goblins. Turns out he’s a pacifist of some sort. I mean, good for him, I guess?
Encore then invited me to join in their trip to the Fae Wilds. I will have to think about it. I still don’t have any plans for what I’m going to do out here.
I have ALOT to think about… Infinite out…
