[Praefectus Screptum]

"If we are done with the 'negotiations', then MMPMH us proceed. These others won't MPMM to reason, so you know what to do."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Serena provides some much needed first aid. Well, not exactly 'needed', but appreciated.

Serena heals Keith for 14 HP!

Then Keith turns his attention to the big head honcho, who's currently distracted by having an argument with his brother.

(Jarvis' Charisma activates!)

Keith initiates!
Roll: 18, hit!
Guildenstern takes 8 damage!

Guildenstern cannot retaliate!

"W-what are you idiots doing?! Get them! Even my backstabbing jackass of a brother!"

The wizard next to him doesn't even get a chance to raise that hand before Asuna knocks him out cold with a single hit.

(Jarvis' Charisma activates!)
(The Lightning Flash strikes!)

Asuna initiates!
Roll: Autohit!
Crit: 8, crit!
Wizard A takes 27 damage!

Wizard A is defeated!

Jarvis, perhaps a little too irritated by being surrounded by what can charitably be described as a breakdown in civilized discourse, whiffs.

(Jarvis' Wigglership is blossoming!)

Jarvis initiates!
Roll: 98, miss!

Sniper A cannot retaliate!

Keilee, however, feels obligated to pick up the slack.

(Jarvis' Charisma activates!)

Keilee initiates!
Roll: 1, hit!
Crit: 3, crit!
Sniper A takes 30 damage!

Sniper A is defeated!

And as the last of his goons get knocked down, and Guildenstern stares down a furious Rosencrantz, a bloodthirsty Keith and a very upset Asuna, the reality of the situation finally hits him.
"....I don't suppose you'd be.....open....to negotiations....w-would you?"
The answer to that question, of course, should be very clear.

:"Vlad, would you mind helping me beat the hell out of another man?"

[kj1225]

Keilee cringes at the current situation. So to spare herself the guilt she closes her eyes and covers her ears.

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Sorry to tell you, but the negotiating part is MPMH gone. You tried to kidnap someone and refused to MPMPMH to reason until the last second."
"And you went as far as MPPHM them to attack your own brother. So the only MPPMH I can guarantee you is that you won't die. But that's it. Expect MPPMHH pain, a crime is a crime, pal."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Nah, no killing, like Jarvis said."

"We're just going to teach you a little lesson about attacking random people on the road."

[Taricus]

"Coming right up. This should be good."

K-14, Perform Asuna

[Powder Miner]

Hope to kick the shit out of Guildenstern

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Vlad gladly obliges the imminent violence that Asuna is about to perpetrate upon this unfortunate soul.

Vlad performs Asuna!
Asuna can move again!

Asuna is practically emitting a menacing aura worthy of one of the Demon Generals themselves.

Guildenstern almost seems to shrink in fear, his eyes darting about for a way out, settling on Rosencrantz, his brother dearest, the man who would always get him out of any other sticky situation. Hopefully he had just enough love left for him to let him get out of this last one.

"Eheh. Ehehehe....b-brother, would you mind helping me just.....one last time?"

Rosencrantz simply crosses his arms, stepping back to allow Asuna more room.
"Nah. I'll just let the lady get what she wants. Looks like she needs it more than I do."
"W-what?!"

Now Playing: [Boss Overkill Theme ~~Il Vento d'Oro~~]

With the fury of a thousand very angry things, Asuna goes to town on Guildenstern, hailing upon him a rain of blows he can only barely defend against, without even the slightest chance for a retaliatory hit. Whatever anger she's felt at the rest of the world, the world saw fit to give her one place to release just a little bit of it in the form of this repulsive little man.

And damned if she doesn't take it.

(Jarvis' Charisma activates!)
(The Lightning Flash strikes!)

Asuna initiates!
Hit: Autohit!
Guildenstern takes 6 damage!

Guildenstern cannot retaliate!

Asuna attacks again!
Hit: Autohit!
Crit: 3, critical!
Guildenstern takes 18 damage!

Guildenstern is defeated!

With one last blow sending Guildenstern into the air arcing backwards and throwing him, unconscious, in the direction of the gate, Asuna feels a sense of approval upon her from above. The sounds of pained groaning and muttering finally fill the air around you as you look around.

Aside from Rosencrantz, a light smile on his face, and the long-gone goblin baker, the entire rest of the caravan is down. Serena, who's been trembling in the back for the last couple or so minutes, finally takes the chance to step out now that the threat to her beauteous visage is neutralised.

"Hmph. I knew you'd all do it in the end. This is what I hired you all for, after all."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Well, glad that's settled. Hey, now that the idiots are out of the way, what did you need done with your wagon again?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Rosencrantz sighs, looking around at the mess everyone else left and all of the caravan members bar himself unconscious or groaning in various states of pain.
"You know, at this point, I'm not really sure it matters."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Come on dude, don't be like that. We might as well at least get you moving."

Keith paused for a moment to give a fairly stiff kick to the ribs of a downed Revivian, for causing the problem.

"This trash isn't going to help, that's for sure."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"That's precisely the problem. I'd have to report what happened here to the cops unless I wanted them to come after me also. Because my brother decided to go commit a crime in the process of hauling these goods, everything on that wagon'll get impounded as evidence of a crime. It wasn't worth much already, and NOW it's worth absolutely jack. Which....means there goes what was left of the money between both of us."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Damn. That bites, man."

Keith gave the goblin a pat on the shoulder.

"Anyway we can keep the fuzz out of this? I don't wanna sit around for hours answering any questions I don't have to."

He looked at Asuna, since she was the person most affected.

"That's fine, right? We kicked their asses, lesson learned, let's not involve the cops?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"If we were back home? The cops would probably look away if you slipped them five rhea. Here? Begnin's pretty harsh on stuff like this; failed adventurers usually wanna try their luck at being bandits and robbing other adventurers like you guys. Chances are, one of the guards already saw what was going on and got the cops. If you're not dealing with them now, they'll wanna know who passed here when they find this-"

As if on cue, the Beginin Gate's doors swing open, revealing a mixed force of goblin, human and dwarven soldiers bearing the insignia of Begnin, a sword hanging vertically over an open book, over a blue background, whether imprinted on their chestplates, on a flag above their heads or on a shield. Even to people who weren't familiar with the insignia at all, the meaning was pretty obvious; these were Begnin's finest, the Begnin State Police.

"....aaaand there they are."
