    Chazwick stops to think. "I don't know... they were enslaved alongside us, right? Which means they're not used to the tabaxi being the authority figures yet. They're used to listening to the Baroness, Zain, you, and Atronia in that order. In fact, if we can spare some weapons to arm them with, they'll probably help us handle the tabaxi."

    "Oh. Uh... sorry. We're on the same page then. But we might not have to do anything with the ophidians, if they don't see us."

    How close to our captive comrades are the ophidians? And are the ophidians keeping a close eye on them? Basically what I'm asking is, is what Chazwick is suggesting even remotely possible?

    Rikkan grabs a loose branch and starts weighing it. One of the lizardmen, noting what's happening, comes closer and looks at Rikkan.

    You look strong. You've been well fed. Yet even you can't take on these guards of ours here. There's an army of them. Many armies even. They fought the Kingdom of Fist and Palm and conquered this area. What is one man?
    Or did you think to beat us down in your anger? That would do you no good. We're prisoners here like you. We're your new brothers and sisters. We watch over each other here, like brothers...
    If you plan violence though, it's a different thing. We need to tell the guards, or we'll be punished. Then they'll punish you. Then maybe we get to eat that well fed body of yours.

    Chazwick winces and mutters a quick prayer to the Pathmaker. "Our comrades look like they're about to do something drastic, and the ophidians are paying more attention to them. We need to move now. Lucia, do you think you can use a spell to distract them? If not, we might as well forget about stealth and try the 'kill them all to keep them silent' method."

If you wish to do more than merely survive, you could join us in leaving this place. But either way, do not test our might. Even bound we are far from helpless.

    The lizardman takes a few steps back, well beyond the reach of the chains that keep Rikkan and Yaj'dak in place.
    There's a lot of fight in you two. Everyone has a lot of fight in the beginning. The fight is going to go out one way or another. Only the ones who work get food.
    Your quickest way out is to throw that branch at a guard when they next come around. That way they'll do you in quick. Otherwise you'll end up starving or doing work.
    Please don't starve. Nobody wants to watch you starve.


    The lizardman keeps standing there, waiting to see how Rikkan and Yaj'dak react. Maybe he's expecting to listen the two of you discuss. But his demeanor has changed from joking to tired.

    Meanwhile Rodrik asks the others hiding in the bushes
    Chazwick, do you think you think you could circle round the clearing to check out those tents without alerting anyone?

    Miranda, with her bow just wryly comments

    The lizardman looks confused but attentive.
    Why would the Pathmaker punish someone who eats the dead? We've always eaten the dead.

    An ophidian slithers closer to the conversation.
    The furry rat speaks true. You shouldn't honor the ones that don't have power. That is the law that the mraow break.

    The lizardman answers.
    You only say that because you can't eat so well with those sad teeth you have. You know snakes even eat other snakes. Pathfinder is God of Snakes. There's no way she would condemn cannibalism.

    Another ophidian wanders into the conversation.
    I thought Pathmaker is male.

    The lizardman continues.
    It's all meaningless anyway. We're now under the laws of the mraow and their laws say that servants serve and nobles rule.

    The first ophidian says
    Who are you rat-being? We see ratbeings only with the guards, running their errands. Why are you imprisoned with us reptiles? Do you also believe in the Pathmaker?

    Sir Rikkan looks at them with a confused expression.Cats and Rats?The Marrow? What heretical Land is this? The Pathmaker must have sent me here to teach and to free you of your heretical prison.

    I do not understand why you call me a rat. Have you never seen a dwarf? Do you not recognize the Colors of House Ambrosia? I am Sir Rikkan adopted son of Sir Rodrick Knight realm of Fist and Palm. I am a Knight Brother of The Knights of Pathmaker and a household knight of the House Ambrosia.

    Yes Pathmaker is a male and yes all details of his story matter with out the details the heretical lies and Devine truth could not be separated.

    Why does Pathmaker not allow cannibalism is simple. The body of the dead is unprotected an unable to protect its self thus it is weak thus it is protected by the Pathmaker.

    Will anyone of you walk upon the path of the Pathmaker?

    "I think I can?"

    As an afterthought, he asks "Does the Pathmaker actually forbid cannibalism? I kind of stopped listening to the sermons on his teachings after 'tear down weak laws and replace them.' Not that I've ever been tempted to cannibalism, mind you."

    Caex and Chazwick circle round the clearing to the right of the main group and sneak to some of the tents. Unfortunately Chazwick's leg gets tangled on a tent rope causing one of the tents to collapse. Caex manages to remain hidden behind the collapsing tent while Chazwick is unfortunately quite in the open.

    At this point Caex and Chazwick are about 40 meters to the right of everyone else. The collapse of the tent raises confusion. Several of the ophidians who were preparing food stand up.

    One of them yells
    Who are you? Are you with a gang?

    Yaj'dak had been watching Rikkan's sermon with grim boredom. He was used to talk of the Pathmaker, but he didn't have much of a head for religion. He was mostly concerned about the possibility of guards or soldiers appearing. When he sees the others arrive, he smiles and bows his head respectfully I am pleased to see you alive and... well, alive. I'm at your service as always. He assists Atronia as he can

    The group of lizardmen and ophidians advance on you. Voices are raised, demanding the newcomers remove themselves immediately and leave Rikkan and Yaj'dak behind. Axes are being waved threateningly.

    Caex and Chazwick advance to a distance that they can get in the scuffle with a single move.
    Zain has time to prepare with mage armor before the fight actually starts.

    Two groups of melee combatants stare each other down until something snaps and a fight breaks out.

    Atronia's words echo on the clearing and clearly there's an effect. The ophidians who are already wondering about the fight are slightly more taken aback.

    Rikkan's club swings in the air but the lizardman called Sseethe blocks the blow with his axehandle.
    Don't. We don't want to hurt you.

    Zain walks into melee range and casts a cantrip. With electricity flowing in his fingers he tries to grab a lizardman's arm but the lizardman dodges barely.

    I took the liberty of rolling some dice because the attack was called while a roll was lacking.


    Maria covers behind some ferns while Miranda looses an arrow. The arrow strikes one of the ophidian slaves in the throat and the slave falls down gasping.

    Rodrik and Chazwick swing wildly with their weapons, both missing significantly. With surprising speed the older warrior surges into action and strikes a second blow, with his club. The club hits one of the ophidian slaves and the unconscious slave falls to ground.

    Yaj'dak swipes wit his claws at one of the lizardmen, cutting into their armpit. The wound bleeds heavily but doesn't seem life-threatening.

    Justius tries to stab one of the lizardmen but he stumbles at the moment he's about to land a blow. The lizardman steps out of the way.

    One of the lizardmen tries to swing at Justius but misses. Two of them strike at Rodrik and two axes hit him, one in the shoulder and another in his thigh. The experienced warrior just grunts, a sad smile on his lips. The last lizardman tries to strike Atronia but misses.

    In response Caex punches the wounded lizardman in the gut with the chained wrist. The lizardman bowls over. Another kick by Caex would strikes where the lizardman's head was the moment before he fell down.

    At that moment Lucia stands ready with her firebolt spell and strikes one of the lizardmen. The bolt sizzles the scales in his head and he yowls in pain.

    Atronia frowns as everything erupts into violence immediately despite her words. And then some fool makes the mistake of attacking her. Maybe if she was wearing armor she could have shrugged off the attempt enough to not aim to kill. But given her vulnerable state her training defaults to kill or be killed and she swings her sword with that intent.
