Dart's housing needs - if he can't find a suitable rest site. He'll turn into a badger and dig one under a bush. It would be a campsite.

Tol
Doubtful that he snuck away that easily as I'm sure half the group keeps an eye on the crazy gnome. I take personal watch on that crazy guy as im one of the people he actually targeted. I grant i lose track of him soon enough as watching the festivities take away my careless mind. my eyes do spot all the chance to pick pocket those around cause of my old thieving habits, but there was no point as they were giving away anything we may ask for.
After a bit and there festivity pick up and the sky darkens i would step up for entertainment if they don't seem disposed against magic. (my main occupation is a show blade)

Tol notices a fox slinking away from the barn. It probably decided that now wasn't a good time to try to steal any chickens since there were several people in the barn.
No one knows IC about Darts shape shifting abilities. That's how he's able to sneak away. Dart, you can only change into small animals, you don't have size changing yet. You'll probably see him again later.

Within an hour, as news of their deed spreads, the group is approached by a distinguished, middle-aged human. After thanking them profusely for battling the monsters, he asks if he can speak with them in private.

Stria a little suspicious of this stranger does an arcane check on him.

Sorry for not responding earlier, i dont always have the ability to check this every day.
While everyone else was taking care of the animals or greeting the people, Romra collects the drakes out of the sight of all the townsfolk (behind the barn or something?) and starts skinning them. Once more collecting Meat, Scales, and Bones. He will also collect each skull for a Pyre later.
When we get a chance i wish to take all the skulls and put them on a stack of wood with a bowl of water to one side and a bowl of earth on the other and light a pyre. Consecrateing it with the four great elements, Earth in one bowl, Water in another, Fire to light it, and air to spread the ashes. This is like a burial respect for my character, not somethign held lightly, but nor is it something that needs to slow down the game.

Roma finds the drakes a bit heavy to move (like moving a dead horse). But he finds that the people are eager to help him skin and butcher the drakes. There is going to be a feast of drake meat in a few hours. But most will be smoked for preservation (5 is more than can be used before it goes bad).

The locals seemed pretty quick to make off with the drakes, and not so quick to offer to payment. Letting out a sigh Barbatos found a spot to sit down, at least he didn't have to drag the things back.
Wardrakes were not the most common of creatures. Barbatos thinks back to his time as an apprentice, trying to recall any mention of the creatures in relation to dragonborn cities and magical control of the beasts.

So joe I will pay the two gold to cast the meanding spell if you ok it. Blastishy is more then happy to help fix the barn with a ritual he had studied and has used several times in the past. walking over to the farmers. So I was told that materials were being brought so that this barn could be fixed, I would be more then happy to help fix it. Sorry i did not introduce myself I am Blastishy the artificer, extending his hand to the farmers.

Their souls! Popol doesn't see any ill intentions in the newcomer. He seems to be under stress, but it doesn't seem to be anything to do with them. |

Barbatos thinks back to his time as an apprentice, trying to recall any mention of the creatures in relation to dragonborn cities and magical control of the beasts. Now that he has plenty of time to think, Barbatos can recall once hearing about the Dragonborn descending from their flying citadels on warwing drakes. According to the story, The Dragonborn empire had developed the breed to be used as a mount. Though when the empire fell, they were left to go wild and were thought to be extinct. But at their height they were rumored to be very smart, able to understand verbal commands from their riders. And despite being carnivores, they were supposedly very even tempered most of the time. The people are offering food and lodging freely. Likewise the heroes are given any parts of the drakes they desire. They aren't offering money, but perhaps they don't have much in the way of cash. But no one in the group will be paying for food or lodging anytime soon as long as they stay here.(harknail - as i'm supposed to have been robbed i'll just take whatever amount of cash you think I should have in rituals and ritual components) |

They are most impressed with his demonstration of skill. Sounds good. I'll convert his cash into spell components and subtract 2. He won't be needing cash soon  |

Llewelyn laments Dart's attitude. It was admirable that he wished to help the drakes, but frustrating that he wouldn't realize that we could not. These drakes would have returned, possibly with more drakes according to what he hears. Moving them wasn't an option. Keeping them in a cage wasn't an option. And now Dart has threatened the group... He wasn't known for his ability to listen to reason, but hopefully he won't act on it.
Llewelyn needs nothing other than a replenishment of his supplies. He then moves to join with the newcomer to find out what the man needs.

"Aye, I'll go with thee," agreed Harknail.
Unless someone objects soon, I'll assume the entire group goes with middle aged man for a private conversation.

Dart has not threatened anyone in the group for killing the drakes. He's just disappeared from sight. That is all he has done.

Barbatos accepts what food he can get and makes a quick inventory of his possessions, trying to remember what he had and how he lost it. Seeing the group moving to follow the stranger he followed, best not to be caught alone with drakes about. Dart has not threatened anyone in the group for killing the drakes. He's just disappeared from sight. That is all he has done.
He's also far more warlock than paladin despite his statements to the contrary |

Haha. Without even going back to attacking Harknail, threatening Tol, and me telling him I was going to kill him, just a minute ago (in game time) Dart said"Most of the party just declared war on him and they will find it's going to cost them. But he needs some time to himself to think things through. Revenge is best served cold." So I think we can agree he has threatened us.

all of the above did no harm to anyone - Dart has killing attacks - he didn't use them. He just forced the above to stop attacking or to attack him. that is not the actions of an enemy. "As Doumbledoor Say's at the feast at the end of one of the Harry Potter films. I think it is the second one. "It is hard to stand up to your enemies, but it is even harder to stand up to your Friends, 10 points goes to Nevil Long bottom."
Dart said
"Most of the party just declared war on him and they will find it's going to cost them. But he needs some time to himself to think things through. Revenge is best served cold."
the above is what he was thinking - he never said any of it. And a telepathy must claim they are reading someones minds to read their minds. As I understand it - their target knows when someones reading their mind, they just may not be able to do anything about it.
So I think we can agree he has threatened us.
So this up to interpretation. He didn't threaten anyone for killing the drakes, he is just mad and having dark thoughts. Like any of us do when we are feeling pick on by bullies. And make no mistake - Dart is being picked on! Dart's just not stupid enough to fight fair - everyone else is faster then he is and bigger then he is and where I'd agree that Dart did provoke Harknail, and threatened Tol - he did no harm to either of them, and you - you did threaten to kill him. That's the difference and no one spoke up for him.
